Finger Tip Data Reading Device
First Claim
1. A reading device for reading an interface surface provided on a product item, the interface surface having disposed thereon coded data, the coded data being indicative of an identity of the product item, the reading device including:
- a housing including a void configured to receive a finger tip portion of a finger of a user'"'"'s hand, the housing further including an aperture in a wall of the housing which is located, in use, adjacent the underside of the finger tip portion of the finger;
a radiation source provided in the housing for illuminating the interface surface through the aperture, the radiation source being strobed;
a sensor provided in the housing for sensing at least some of the coded data through the aperture, the sensing of coded data being synchronised with the strobing of the radiation source; and
a processor for decoding at least some of the sensed coded data, and for determining product identity data indicative of the identity of the product item.

Abstract
A reading device for reading an interface surface provided on a product item, the interface surface having disposed thereon coded data. The reading device includes: a harness which is configured to tight fittingly receive at least a portion of a user'"'"'s hand; a housing coupled to the harness, the housing including a void configured to tight fittingly receive therewithin a finger tip portion of a finger of the user'"'"'s hand received within the harness, the housing including an aperture in a wall of the housing which is located, in use, adjacent the underside of the finger tip portion of the finger; a sensor provided in the housing for sensing at least some of the coded data through the aperture; and a processor for decoding at least some of the sensed coded data.
