Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- by an image capture module of an electronic device, receiving an image of a symbology captured by an imaging device of the electronic device;
on a display of the electronic device, displaying the image of the symbology;
on the display, displaying a boundary indicator, wherein the boundary indicator corresponds to a size of the symbology;
when the boundary indicator corresponds to a boundary of the displayed image, decoding the symbology to yield decoded information; and
using the decoded information to initiate an action by the imaging device.

9. An electronic device, comprising:
-
an imaging device; a processor; a display; and a computer-readable memory containing a symbology scanning application comprising programming instructions that instruct the processor to; cause the imaging device to receive an image of a symbology; cause the display to display the image of the symbology; cause the display to display a boundary indicator, wherein the boundary indicator corresponds to a size of the symbology; determine whether the boundary indicator corresponds to a boundary of the displayed image of the symbology; decode the symbology to yield decoded information when the boundary indicator corresponds to the boundary of the displayed image; and use the decoded information to perform an action by the imaging device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product containing instructions that, when executed, instruct a processor of an electronic device to implement a method, wherein the electronic device includes an imaging device, a processor, a display, and a computer-readable memory, the method comprising:
-
causing the imaging device to receive an image of a symbology; causing the display to display the image of the symbology; causing the display to display a boundary indicator, wherein the boundary indicator corresponds to a size of the symbology; determining whether the boundary indicator corresponds to a boundary of the displayed image of the symbology; decoding the symbology to yield decoded information when the boundary indicator corresponds to the boundary of the displayed image; and using the decoded information to perform an action by the imaging device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
