Patent Images
1. An indicia reading terminal, comprising:
- a terminal housing on which is disposed a first input/output device and a second input/output device; and
hardware coupled with the first input/output device and the second input/output device, the hardware comprising orientation hardware and data capture hardware comprising a data capture device that is operative for capture of data from a decodable indicia in response to a trigger signal initiated by an operator,wherein in response to changes in orientation of the terminal housing the orientation hardware is configured to provide an input responsive to which the hardware is configured to activate one of the first input/output device and the second input/output device and deactivate one of the first input/output device and the second input/output device.

13. A system, comprising:
-
a terminal comprising a terminal housing with a first interactive side and a second interactive side on which is disposed an input/output device, wherein incorporated in the terminal housing is hardware that comprises orientation hardware configured to recognize a position of each of the first interactive side and the second interactive side relative to an operator and data capture hardware that comprises a data capture device that is operative for capture of data from a decodable indicia in response to a trigger signal initiated by the operator, wherein in response to a change in the position of the first interactive side and the second interactive side the orientation hardware is configured to provide an input responsive to which the hardware is configured to activate and deactivate the input/output device on each of the first interactive side and the second interactive side, wherein the system includes the terminal and a server external to the terminal, and wherein the terminal is operative for attempting to decode the decodable indicia. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for use in reading a bar code symbol disposed on a substrate, comprising:
-
a terminal having an image sensor array comprising a plurality of pixels, the terminal having a lens assembly for use in focusing an image onto the image sensor array, and a terminal housing incorporating the image sensor array; and a server external to the terminal; wherein the terminal is operative for capture a frame of image data responsively to a trigger signal initiated by an operator, the frame of image data representing the substrate and the bar code symbol, wherein the terminal is operative to transmit the frame of image data to the server, wherein the terminal housing has disposed thereon a first input/output device and a second input/output device positioned on opposite sides of the terminal housing, and wherein the terminal is operative in response to a change in a position of the first input/output device and the second input/output device to activate one of the first input/output device and the second input/output device and deactivate one of the first input/output device and the second input/output device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
