Abstract

SE PRESENTA UN METODO Y UN APARATO PARA LEER AUTOMATICAMENTE SIMBOLOS DE CODIGOS DE BARRAS USANDO UN DISPOSITIVO LECTOR DE SIMBOLOS DE CODIGOS DE BARRAS MANUAL (2) QUE COMPRENDE UN ALOJAMIENTO (5) QUE CONTIENE ELEMENTOS OPERATIVOS QUE SUMINISTRAN UN CAMPO DE DETECCION DE OBJETOS Y UN CAMPO DE EXPLORACION DEFINIDO DE FORMA EXTERNA A DICHO ALOJAMIENTO (5). TAL DISPOSITIVO DETECTA LA PRESENCIA DE UN OBJETO, EN EL CAMPO DE DETECCION DE OBJETOS, MIDIENDO LA RADIACION IR REFLEJADA DESDE LOS OBJETOS, Y RADIADA POR UNA FUENTE DISPUESTA EN EL ALOJAMIENTO. EN RESPUESTA AUTOMATICA A LA DETECCION DEL OBJETO, EL DISPOSITIVO DETECTA LA PRESENCIA DE UN CODIGO DE BARRAS USANDO UN LASER (28) DISPUESTO EN EL ALOJAMIENTO. ENTONCES, Y EN RESPUESTA AUTOMATICA A LA DETECCION DEL CODIGO DE BARRAS, EL CODIGO DE BARRAS SE EXPLORA, Y SE PRODUCEN SEÑALES DE DATOS EN RESPUESTA DE FORMA QUE LOS DATOS DEL CODIGO DE BARRAS SEAN LEIDOS, RECOPILADOS Y PROCESADOS.
