First Claim
1. A data input product adapted to work with an information system, the product comprising:
- a first coded data source, the first coded data source representing first data;
first light from the first coded data source, the first light representing the first data;
a first imager, the first imager being signal connected with the information system, the first imager having a first field of view, the first field of view extending along a first triad of orthogonal axes, the first field of view overlapping the first coded data source;
a first signal, the first signal being caused by the first imager when the first imager detects the first light from the first coded data source, the first signal being input to the information system, the first signal representing the first light;
a computer-readable signal-bearing medium, the medium being signal connected with the information system, the medium having a use component, the use component causing at least part of the first data to be made available to a first application operated by the information system, when the first data specifies the first application.

Abstract
Working with an information system operating an application—are an imager, a coded data source, and a computer-readable signal-bearing medium signal (FIG. 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 91, 92, 93) connected to the information system where light from the data source—which represents data—is detected by the imager which inputs a signal—which represents the light—to the information system; where a use component of the medium causes the data to be made available to the application with the application being specified by the data; and where: the image can be from a plurality of imagers signal connected to the information system; the coded data source can be from a plurality of coded data sources; the application can be from a plurality of applications operated by the information system; and the medium can have a plurality of components which cause uses of data, management of imagers, and output signals.
