Point-of-transaction workstation for electro-optically reading one-dimensional and two-dimensional indicia by image capture
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An arrangement for processing transactions, comprising:
- a) a stationary workstation having a window at which a target associated with a transaction is presented; and
b) a solid-state imager having a field of view and mounted at the workstation, and operative for capturing light along different viewing directions from different, plural light collection regions at which the target is presented.

Abstract
A solid-state imager is mounted at a point-of-transaction workstation for capturing images of one- and two-dimensional indicia and is operated at high speed to resist image blurring due to relative movement between the target and the imager. Dedicated hardware assistance and computation resources are allocated to decode multiple, continuous and simultaneous video streams from multiple imagers at the workstation.

20. An arrangement for processing data-intensive transactions, comprising:
-
a) a solid-state imager for capturing light from a target associated with a transaction, and for generating large volumes of data to be processed;
b) a field programmable gate array (FPGA) programmed by default for processing the data; and
c) a processor for extracting features from the data processed by the FPGA, and for reprogramming the FPGA in real time based on the features extracted by the processor.
