Systems and methods for adapting swipe speeds for barcode readers

Abstract:

Systems and methods for adapting swipe speeds for barcode readers. A barcode reader includes a housing and an optical imaging assembly positioned at least partially within the housing. The optical imaging assembly has a field of view (FOV). The optical imaging assembly is operable to capture one or more images of the FOV. The barcode reader also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the optical imaging assembly. The processor is configured to initiate an identification session when a target at least one of (i) enters the FOV and (ii) is in the FOV. The processor further is configured to, responsive to initiation of the identification session: terminate the identification session in response to identifying a product code associated with the target resulting in a termination of the identification session; responsive to the termination of the identification session, prevent initiation of a subsequent identification session until a detection of the target exiting the FOV; and responsive to the detection of the target exiting the FOV, enable initiation of a subsequent identification session.
