Description

Dual window 2D barcode scanner

This creation is about a code scanning device, especially a two-window two-dimensional bar code scanner.

With the development of the Internet and the popularity of mobile communication devices (such as smart phones and tablets), coupled with the rise of people's awareness of environmental protection, 2D barcodes are commonly used in people's lives. The so-called 2D barcode is Refers to the extension of another dimension of readable barcode on the basis of one-dimensional barcode, and uses black and white rectangular pattern to represent binary data. After scanning by barcode scanning device, the information contained therein can be obtained, and the use of two-dimensional barcode does not need to be performed. Then make this information into a paper or card.

However, the current super-commercial, mass-selling stores and major hypermarkets are gradually becoming more technological, and in order to attract more consumers, they have launched membership cards, discount coupons, and event-based activities in conjunction with mobile communication devices. The introduction of a two-dimensional bar code reader to replace the Barcode Reader used in the past, in order to facilitate the reading of discount information at checkout, but because the traditional two-dimensional bar code reading device is mostly designed with a single window and The fixed setting facilitates the checkout position of the cashier. The customer still needs to hand over the membership card and discount coupons combined with the mobile communication device to the cashier, so there is still a loss of convenience.

Moreover, most of the mobile communication devices have private information typed, such as requiring the customer to hand over the private mobile communication device to the cashier, which may also cause unnecessary privacy violations, or accidentally falling during the busy checkout, resulting in mobile communication. The trouble of device damage, so it is really unable to speed up the cash register checkout speed and the convenience of use, therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned lack of the prior art is the subject of research and development of the relevant industry.

Therefore, in view of the inconvenience of the traditional two-dimensional barcode scanner, the main purpose of the creation is to provide a dual-window two-dimensional barcode scanner, which can be conveniently used by both the cashier and the customer.

The technical means adopted for the above purpose is to arrange an optical lens and an image capturing device inside the body, and a spectroscope is arranged at an obliquely corresponding angle in front of the optical lens, and the first surface of the spectroscope corresponds to a first a working area, and the second surface of the beam splitter corresponds to a second working area, after the first barcode image of the first working area passes through the first surface of the beam splitter, after the optical lens, the image capturing device Reading the bar code information of the first bar code, after the image of the second bar code in the second working area is passed through the second surface of the beam splitter and the optical lens, the image capturing device reads the bar code information of the second bar code .

The first working area of the body is further provided with at least one first light emitting element to generate the first light source projected by the first light source in the first working area.

The second working area of the body is further provided with at least one second light emitting element to generate a second light source projected to the second bar code located in the second working area.

In terms of effects, this creation uses a dual-view 2D barcode scanner. Since the two-dimensional bar code can be read by both windows, the convenience of both the cashier and the customer can be independently operated, thereby speeding up the checkout. Speed.

Furthermore, since the dual-view two-dimensional barcode scanner is provided, the customer can provide the membership card information, the discount coupon, the event information, etc. in the mobile communication device by using the scan window provided on the customer side, thereby eliminating the cash register. The inconvenience of personnel needing to take personal belongings from customers can also avoid the occurrence of disputes between the two parties.

The specific techniques used in this creation will be further illustrated by the following examples and accompanying drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a two-window two-dimensional barcode scanner, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing the dual-view two-dimensional barcode scanner of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the dual-window two-dimensional barcode scanner of the present invention comprises a body 1, an optical lens 2 disposed inside the body 1, an image capturing device 3 corresponding to the optical lens 2, and a beam splitter 4 disposed at The body 1 corresponds to the front of the optical lens 2, and the beam splitter 4 corresponds to a horizontal direction with an oblique corresponding angle θ. The beam splitter 4 has a first surface 41 and a second surface 42. The first surface 41 of the beam splitter 4 corresponds to the first working area A1 defined by the body 1, and the second surface 42 of the beam splitter 4 corresponds to a second working area A2 defined by the body 1.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the beam splitter 4 is an optical element having a spectroscopic effect (ie, partial reflection, partial refraction). For example, the spectroscope 4 can be a mirror having a reflectivity of 70% and a transmittance of 30%. Of course, a spectroscope having different reflectances and transmittances can be selected according to actual needs.

The dual-view two-dimensional barcode scanner of the present invention further includes at least one first light-emitting element 71 disposed in the first working area A1 of the body 1 for generating a first light source L1 projected in the first working area. A1 object. In addition, this creation includes The second light-emitting element 72 is disposed in the second working area A2 of the body 1 for generating an object projected by the second light source L2 in the second working area A2.

The purpose of the first illuminating element 71 and the second illuminating element 72 is to provide sufficient light to the target object. If the target object has sufficient luminosity in actual application, the light source may be generated without any configuration or by a control program to determine whether the luminosity is sufficient.
