The application Barcode Scanner is an Android app, from the open-source project ZXing (short for Zebra Crossing ), that allows an Android device with imaging hardware (a built-in camera) to scan barcodes or 2D barcodes and retrieve the data encoded. [2] Information encoded often includes web addresses, geographical coordinates, and small pieces ...
A barcode or bar code is a method of representing data in a visual, machine-readable form. Initially, barcodes represented data by varying the widths, spacings and sizes of parallel lines. These barcodes, now commonly referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D), can be scanned by special optical scanners, called barcode readers, of which ...
The QR code system was invented in 1994, at the Denso Wave automotive products company, in Japan. [5] [6] [7] The initial alternating-square design presented by the team of researchers, headed by Masahiro Hara, was influenced by the black counters and the white counters played on a Go board; [8] the pattern of position detection was found and determined by applying the least-used ratio (1:1:3 ...
Barcode library or Barcode SDK is a software library that can be used to add barcode features to desktop, web, mobile or embedded applications. Barcode library presents sets of subroutines or objects which allow to create barcode images and put them on surfaces or recognize machine-encoded text / data from scanned or captured by camera images ...
The Aztec Code is a matrix code invented by Andrew Longacre, Jr. and Robert Hussey in 1995. [1] The code was published by AIM, Inc. in 1997. Although the Aztec Code was patented, that patent was officially made public domain. [2] The Aztec Code is also published as ISO/IEC 24778:2008 standard.
A barcode reader or barcode scanner is an optical scanner that can read printed barcodes and send the data they contain to computer. [1] Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens, and a light sensor for translating optical impulses into electrical signals. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry ...
Interface technology allowed the linking (usually via cables) of barcode-scanner hardware to other consoles. Games released for non-scanning consoles would employ the barcode scanner as a means to unlock secret content within the game or to add enhanced functionality.
The Code 39 specification defines 43 characters, consisting of uppercase letters (A through Z), numeric digits (0 through 9) and a number of special characters (-, ., $, /, +, %, and space ). An additional character (denoted '*') is used for both start and stop delimiters. Each character is composed of nine elements: five bars and four spaces.
