Description
本發明係有關於一種條碼掃描裝置及其方法，尤指一種用以掃描光學條碼標籤，以獲得條碼標籤所代表之產品資料的條碼掃描裝置及方法。The invention relates to a barcode scanning device and a method thereof, in particular to a barcode scanning device and method for scanning an optical barcode label to obtain product data represented by a barcode label.
習知的條碼(Bar Code)憑藉著『全球化身份證』的稱號在全球有著數以千萬的大小產品，透過掃描器掃瞄產品上一條條粗細不一的條碼來辨識身份與讀取數據，以便於產品的辨識，並可提升產品的流通性，讓產品可以行銷於全球。The Bar Code uses tens of millions of products around the world with the title of "Global ID Card". It scans the barcodes on the product to identify the identity and read the data. In order to identify the product and improve the liquidity of the product, the product can be marketed all over the world.
隨著國際貿易頻繁，產品分工日漸精細，使得國與國間之產品流通量龐大，因而對產品物流或產品交易行為的控管就變的非常重要，而可讀取標籤之使用即為人們帶來簡便且準確之管控工具。With the frequent international trade and the increasingly fine division of products, the circulation of products between countries is huge, so the control of product logistics or product trading behavior becomes very important, and the use of readable labels is Simple and accurate control tools.
習知技術之用於讀取標籤主要係為光學條碼標籤，一般產品皆會在外表面或外包裝適當位置設有一條碼標籤，實際應用上，將條碼標籤經紅外線或可見光源照射後，黑色的條紋會吸收光線，而白色空符號則會將光線反射，再經過掃描器將光波轉譯成電子脈衝。之後藉由內建或外接之解碼器，用數學程式將電子脈衝譯成一種二進制碼，並將譯碼後的資料信息傳到個人電腦或控制器，以獲得條碼標籤所代表之產品資料。The conventional technology for reading labels is mainly an optical barcode label. Generally, a product will have a code label at an appropriate position on the outer surface or the outer package. In practical applications, the barcode label is illuminated by an infrared or visible light source, and the black stripe is black. Light is absorbed, and a white empty symbol reflects the light, which is then translated into an electronic pulse by a scanner. Then, by means of a built-in or external decoder, the electronic pulse is translated into a binary code by a mathematical program, and the decoded data information is transmitted to a personal computer or a controller to obtain product data represented by the barcode label.
惟，習知的掃描器皆採用手持方式操作，作業人員必需以手握持掃描器掃描產品，作業相當的不便。However, the conventional scanners are operated in a hand-held manner, and the operator must hold the scanner to scan the product by hand, which is quite inconvenient.
