Preferably, described bar code scan module is laser module or the camera module with lighting source.
Preferably, described depth of field indicating device be pilot lamp or hummer or the two all have.
After completing range finding, the master routine of central processing element can according to the initial parameter comparison presetting bar code, the sub-picture that simultaneously sensor devices also can take bar code carries out calculating contrast or MTF numerical value, moving direction and the distance of suggestion is drawn by computing, and indicator signal is transferred to depth of field indicating device, depth of field indicating device is driven to carry out depth of field prompting, such as changed by the color of pilot lamp, or the frequency of flicker, or the audible frequency of hummer, or specific music, or the change of illumination light, or more united application instruct final user to operate.User is under the prompting and guiding of barcode scanner, and Mobile barcode scanner can bar code reading decoding fast.
The present invention also provides a kind of bar code scanning method, it is characterized in that, comprises the following steps:
Range finding and calculation step: after triggering trigger start up system, the transmitter of infrared distance measurement module sends range-measurement infrared, receptacle receives the range-measurement infrared of bar code reflection, then the actual range of bar code and the size of bar code is ceaselessly calculated by the master routine of central processing element, the sensor devices of scanner catches image calculating contrast or the mtf value of bar code simultaneously, by algorithm computing, central processing element show that barcode scanner needs direction and the distance of movement;
Depth of field prompting step: barcode scanner needs the direction of movement and the operation result of distance to send depth of field indicating device to by electronic signal by central processing element, drive depth of field indicating device to carry out depth of field prompting to user, thus prompting user distance and barcode scanner need the direction of movement;
Position set-up procedure: user according to the direction of depth of field prompting mobile adjustment barcode scanner and and bar code between distance;
Decoding step: after the coverage that the distance of bar code enters barcode scanner and field depth, bar code scan module bar code reading is also decoded.
Preferably, described range finding and calculation step also comprise: central processing element utilizes the image calculating mtf value caught to judge whether bar code exposure is suitable.
Preferably, in described depth of field prompting step, in described depth of field prompting step, the mode of depth of field prompting is to be pointed out by hummer and/or the mode of LED light prompting is pointed out user distance and needed the direction of movement.Further, the mode of described hummer prompting is the frequency sound that utilizes hummer different or pipes continuously or play specific music to point out user distance and to need the direction of movement.Further, the mode of described LED light prompting is that the flashing mode that utilizes LED light different or the display of different colors are pointed out user distance and needed the direction of movement.
Preferably, described decoding step also comprises: utilize the bar code actual range that the master routine of central processing element calculates, and the focal position adjustment triggering automatic focus-adjusting lens realizes decoding.
Compared to prior art, barcode scanner provided by the invention and bar code scanning method, realize depth of field prompting based on infrared distance measurement technology, be very easy to the operation of scanning input bar code, improve bar code scan efficiency.
