Shopping System Comprising Reading Device
First Claim
1. A shopping system comprising a reading device adapted to read an interface surface provided on a product item, the interface surface having disposed thereon coded data which includes, at a plurality of locations on the interface surface, a corresponding plurality of coded data portions, each coded data portion being indicative of an identity of the product item and the location of the coded data portion, the reading device including:
- (a) a radiation source for emitting radiation such that it exposes at least one coded data portion;
(b) an image sensor for sensing the at least one exposed coded data portion;
(c) a processor for determining, using at least some of the sensed coded data, at least one of;
product identity data indicative of the identity of the product item; and
position data indicative of the position of the sensed coded data portion on the interface surface and/or a position of the reading device relative to the interface surface.

Abstract
A shopping system comprising a reading device is provided. The reading device is adapted to read an interface surface provided on a product item. The interface surface has coded data disposed thereon which includes, at a plurality of locations on the interface surface, a corresponding plurality of coded data portions. Each coded data portion is indicative of an identity of the product item and the location of the coded data portion. The reading device includes: (a) a radiation source for emitting radiation such that it exposes at least one coded data portion; (b) an image sensor for sensing the exposed coded data portion; and (c) a processor for determining, using the sensed coded data, product identity data and/or position data.
