To transmit to main frame 7 from an ID and the bar code information 13 of apparatus for reading of bar code 1 reception through network 5 (for example internet, LAN etc.) at terminal 3.

Main frame 7, according to the regulation algorithm, with an ID decoding that receives, and selection is suitable for CGI (the Common Gateway Interface) 9-m (m is an integer) of this ID.In addition, in the accompanying drawing, " M " is the value that the sum of CGI subtracts 1 gained.And main frame 7 transmits the bar code information 13 that receives to selected CGI9-m.In addition, CGI9-m both can be configured on the network 9, also can be configured on the main frame 7.

Receive the CGI9-m of bar code information 13, carried out the information processing of corresponding its bar code information 13.Concrete processing under this situation can be by operation personnel of CGI9-m etc. arbitrarily and planning and design freely, and is not relevant with this remote code reading system.

Next, be elaborated in conjunction with concrete example about the apparatus for reading of bar code 1 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 (a) is the outward appearance side view of example of the long-range apparatus for reading of bar code 1 of presentation graphs 1.Fig. 2 (b) is the accompanying drawing of electric composition of the long-range apparatus for reading of bar code 1 of presentation graphs 2 (a).Fig. 2 (c) is arranged on the concept map of institute's program stored and data among the inner ROM27 of the MCU23 of Fig. 2 (b).

With reference to Fig. 2 (a), this apparatus for reading of bar code 1 is the barcode reader of the form of a stroke or a combination of strokes.With reference to Fig. 2 (b), apparatus for reading of bar code 1 has scanner 21, MCU23 and communicator 25.Scanner 21 carries out optically readly to bar code figure 13, be electronic signal with lines and blank conversion (scanning).The device of self-scanning in the future 21, and the electronic signal of corresponding bar code figure 13, MCU23 offered.

MCU23, in CPU (not shown), RAM (not shown), A/D converter, and the ROM27 that among Fig. 2 (c), representes etc. are housed.Store among the ROM27, the address of the main frame 7 of control program 33, keyboard data form (being also referred to as main address) 35, keyboard data form for the instruction 37 at terminal 3, the identifying information of keyboard data form (ID) 39 and other necessary program and data.In addition, for example, address 35 is URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of main frame 7.

Instruction 37 is instructions that indication terminal 3 starts the main frame 7 of browser, visit presentation address 35.For example, OS (Operating System) is under the situation of Windows (registered trademark), and in the version after Windows98, instruction 37 is keyboard datas of GUI (GraphicalUser Interface) key+R key of being equivalent to keyboard.Through this instruction 37, in Windows, start browser (Internet Explorer).Promptly should instruct 37, in the OS of Windows, be provided with in advance.The GUI key of Windows is generally called the Windows key in addition.To the instruction 37 of the big OS of the market share as Windows, be stored in the apparatus for reading of bar code 1 and export, therefore simply, promptly only use apparatus for reading of bar code 1 is connected with terminal 3, just can use most terminal 3 for native system.Thus, apparatus for reading of bar code 1, need not store a plurality of instructions in advance, discern each terminal 3 OS, select to use the processing of the instruction of corresponding its OS.

ID39 is the code of the uniqueness of configuration in order to discern apparatus for reading of bar code 1.

MCU23 executive control program 33.Thus, MCU23 understand corresponding bar code figure 13 electronic signal, obtain bar code information 13.And MCU23 provides the bar code information 13 that is transformed into the keyboard data form, simultaneously instruction 37, host address 35, an and ID39 of the keyboard data form that is stored among the ROM27 is provided to communicator 25.

Communicator 25, be for example USB controller etc., transmit the output data (instruction 37, host address 35, code information 13, and an ID39) of the keyboard data form that receives from MCU23 to terminal 3.So the instruction 37 of reception is replied at terminal 3,, transmit a code information 13 and an ID39 who receives to main frame 7 through network 5 according to the host address 35 that receives.

Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram of the example of the process handled of the MCU23 of presentation graphs 2 (b).With reference to Fig. 3, at step S51, the MCU23 of apparatus for reading of bar code 1 replys user's operation, scanning bar code figure 13.At step S53, MCU23 understands bar code figure 13 according to known bar code deciphering method, obtains bar code information 13.At step S55, MCU23 by bar code information 13 (for example " 4560256580016 "), main address 35 (for example " www.ssd.co.jp ") and an ID39 (for example " 15555 "), make output data (for example " and www.ssd.co.jp/? bc=4560256580016&sn=15555 ").

At step S57, MCU23 confirms present pattern, is that the words of the 1st pattern advance to step S59, is that the words of the 2nd pattern advance to step S63.Even the 1st pattern is the situation of middleware not to be installed and the pattern under the situation about also being not activated has been installed for native system on the terminal 3.The 2nd pattern is, the pattern under the situation of for native system middleware being installed on the terminal 3 and having started.

In addition, the default mode of apparatus for reading of bar code 1 is the 1st pattern.Of the back, under the situation that middleware on the terminal 3 starts,, switch to the 2nd pattern through this middleware.

In the 1st pattern, at step S59, MCU23 adds instruction 37 in the output data of making at step S55.And at step S61, MCU23 instructs 37 output data as keyboard data with having added, and transmits to terminal 3 from the 1st interface.The 1st interface is, during the 1st pattern and interface terminal 3.

On the other hand, in the 2nd pattern, at step S63, the output data that MCU23 will make at step S55 transmits to terminal 3 from the 2nd interface as keyboard data.The 2nd interface is, during the 2nd pattern and interface terminal 3.

Next, explain from apparatus for reading of bar code 1 and receive the processing the terminal 3 of output data.

Fig. 4 (a) is that expression begins the process flow diagram by the example of 3 processes of handling in the terminal that has received data by the step S61 from Fig. 3.With reference to Fig. 4 (a), in case MCU23 transmits output data in the step S61 of Fig. 3, at step S81, the universal keyboard device at terminal 3 will receive this output data from the interface of the 1st pattern of apparatus for reading of bar code 1.And at step S83, the OS at terminal 3 through the instruction in the output data that is included in reception 37, as parameter, starts the browser at terminal 3 with the host address in the output data that is included in reception 35, an ID39 and bar code 13.So at step S85, the browser of startup is according to the main address 35 that receives, visit main frame 7 transmits an ID39 and bar code 13 to main frame 7.

Fig. 4 (b) is that expression begins the process flow diagram by the example of 3 processes of handling in the terminal that has received data by the step S63 from Fig. 3.Hypothesis has started middleware in addition.With reference to Fig. 4 (b), at the step S63 of Fig. 3, in case MCU23 transmits output data, at step S91, the HID at terminal 3 (Human Interface Device) standard set-up will receive this output data from the interface of the 2nd pattern of apparatus for reading of bar code 1.And at step S93, the middleware at terminal 3 receives output data from the HID standard device.At step S95, middleware will be included in main address 35, an ID39 and bar code 13 in the output data of reception as parameter, start the browser at terminal 3.So at step S97, the browser of startup is visited main frame 7 according to the main address 35 that receives, and transmits an ID39 and bar codes 13 to main frame 7.

In addition, in above-mentioned example, in the main address 35 that apparatus for reading of bar code 1 transmits, do not add agreement " http: // ", so in the processing of Fig. 4 (a) and Fig. 4 (b), the browser at terminal 3 adds this in main address 35 to.And in Fig. 4 (a) and Fig. 4 (b), under the situation that browser has started, start and do not carry out.

Below, specify the processing that is installed in the middleware on the terminal 3.

Fig. 5 is the process flow diagram of the example of the process handled by middleware of expression.In addition, suppose that middleware starts.With reference to Fig. 5, in case terminal 3 starts, at step S121, middleware will confirm whether the HID standard set-up detects apparatus for reading of bar code 1, does not have to get back to step S121 under the detected situation, advances to step S123 under the detected situation.

At step S123, middleware is through the HID standard set-up, with mode switch to the 2 patterns of apparatus for reading of bar code 1.In addition, the default mode of apparatus for reading of bar code 1 is the 1st pattern.At step S125, middleware confirms that whether the HID standard set-up receives data from the 2nd pattern interface of apparatus for reading of bar code 1, gets back to step S125 in the absence about receiving, and advances to step S127 under the situation about receiving.At step S127, middleware receives data from the HID standard set-up.And, at step S129,, start browser with being included in the main address 35, an ID39 and the bar code sign indicating number 13 that receive in the data as parameter.And, the processing of the step 97 of execution graph 4 (b).

In addition, after step S123 switches to the 2nd pattern, keep the 2nd pattern, only otherwise cut off the electricity supply or do not restart, from then on after the just not processing of execution in step S121 and S123.But middleware through the HID standard set-up, is set to the 1st pattern with apparatus for reading of bar code 1 under the situation of its end.And, in case middleware starts the processing of execution graph 5 once more.

Below, the main frame 7 about Fig. 1 is elaborated for example.

Fig. 6 (a) is the accompanying drawing of electric composition of the main frame 7 of presentation graphs 1.Fig. 6 (b) is the concept map of composition of field of storage 81 of the main frame 7 of presentation graphs 1.

With reference to Fig. 6 (a), main frame 7 comprises CPU51 (central calculus treatment device), primary memory 53, chipset 55, GPU57 (graphic process unit), SPU59 (standard product unit), HDD61 (hard disk drive), driver 63, reaches Department of Communication Force 65.

The CPU51 execution is stored in the computer program among the HDD61 and carries out various calculations.Primary memory 53 is the HSies by the CPU51 direct read.GPU57 carries out drawing and handles, and to display 67 picture signal is provided.SPU59 carries out acoustic processing, to loudspeaker 69 voice signal is provided.But HDD61 is the ARU auxiliary recorder unit that is used to read and write the data that computer program such as OS and executive software and these programs use.Driver 63 is the devices that read, write data from removable recording medium 75.Department of Communication Force 65 comprises the LAN card that be responsible for to connect network 9 and USB controller (not shown) etc., and control is communicated by letter.

CPU51, GPU57, SPU59, HDD61, driver 63, Department of Communication Force 65, keyboard 71, and functional unit such as mouse 73 are connected with chipset 55.The receipts of the data between the connected functional unit of chipset 55 management pass.

In addition, the electric formation at the terminal 3 of Fig. 1 is identical with the electric formation of the main frame 7 of Fig. 4 (a), omits its explanation.

With reference to Fig. 6 (b), the field of storage 81 of the HDD61 of main frame 7 has program storage part 83 and database 11.

Database 11 is set up an ID and CGI related, can from an ID, read the CGI related with its foundation.For example, be predetermined the CGI9-m that is configured in each apparatus for reading of bar code 1, make database 11, distribute afterwards or sale apparatus for reading of bar code 1.And for example, during maiden visit, the user is through terminal 3, on the specified web page that provides from main frame 7, selects the CGI9-m that hopes, and an ID and the user-selected CGI9-m of self terminal 3 are registered in the database 11 in the future afterwards.

Program storage part 83 comprises communication control unit the 85, the 1st demoder 87, and the 2nd demoder 89-0 ..., 89-m ..., 89-M.The 2nd demoder 89-0 ..., 89-m ..., 89-M is corresponding CGI9-0 respectively ..., 9-m ..., 9-M and starting.

These each function portions are mounted in computer software program or the sub program in the program among the HDD61.These procedure stores are installed in the main frame 7 in removable recording medium 75 afterwards.Process flow diagram below using is explained these function portions.

Fig. 7 is the accompanying drawing of example of terminal 3 and the communication sequence between main frame 7 and the CGI9-m of presentation graphs 1.With reference to Fig. 7, at step S1, an ID39 and the bar code 13 that reads from apparatus for reading of bar code 1 transmitted to main frame 7 in terminal 3.(in detail please with reference to Fig. 4 (a) and Fig. 4 (b))

So at step S31, the communication control unit 85 of main frame 7 receives a bar code 13 and an ID39.And at step S33, the 1st demoder 87 of main frame 7 according to the 1st regulation algorithm (being the algorithm that is used for searching database 11 according to an ID39), with an ID39 decoding, selects to be suitable for the CGI9-m of apparatus for reading of bar code 1 in this embodiment.That is, the 1st demoder 87, searching database 11 from an ID39 who receives is obtained the information of setting up related CGI9-m with this ID39.

At step S35, the 1st demoder 87 transmits the 2nd demoder 89-m of the bar code 13 that receives to the selected CGI-m of correspondence.So the 2nd demoder 89-m carries out and handles according to the 2nd regulation algorithm of the selected CGI9-m of correspondence.

For example, selected CGI9 is under the situation of CGI9-0, and at step S35, the 1st demoder 87 transmits bar code 13 to the 2nd demoder 89-0.So at step S37, the 2nd demoder 89-0 is through communication control unit, with bar code 13 former states that receive send the CGI9-0 of selection to.Under this situation, the 2nd regulation algorithm is bar code 13 to be sent to the algorithm of CGI9-0 for former state ground.

So at step S101-0, CGI9-0 receives bar code 13 from communication control unit 85.And at step S103-0, CGI9-0 carries out the processing of corresponding bar code 13.

And for example, the CGI of selection is under the situation of CGI9-1, and at step S35, the 1st demoder 87 transmits bar code 13 to the 2nd demoder 89-1.So at step S39, the 2nd demoder 89-1 is according to the 2nd regulation algorithm of corresponding CGI9-1, with the bar code that receives 13 decodings.Under this situation, the 2nd regulation algorithm perhaps is provided according to pairing CGI9-1 design.So at step S41, the 2nd demoder 89-1 is through communication control unit 85, the decoded result of bar code 13 is sent to CGI9-1.

So at step S101-1, CGI9-1 receives the decoded result of bar code 13 from communication control unit 85.And at step S101-3, CGI9-1 carries out the processing of the decoded result of corresponding bar code 13.

In addition, the concrete processing of each CGI9-m is by the operation personnel of each CGI9-m etc. arbitrarily and planning and design freely, not relevant with this long-range bar code reading system.
