Abstract

The invention relates to decoding utilizing image data. The image data can be received from a source. A processor can process the image data for decoding. Processing for decoding can be responsive to determined information. The format of a frame of image data may be recognized. The recognizing may include determining the source of the frame of image data. The recognizing may include determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

Claims

1. A computer readable medium storing instructions for performance of a method executable by a processor, the method comprising:

recognizing a format of a frame of image data received from a source;

determining an ID value for the source; and

in response to the recognition of the format of the frame of image data, processing the frame of image data in accordance with a decode algorithm in an effort to decode a decodable indicia in the frame of image data.

2. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the method comprises determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

3. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the method comprises:

determining the source of the frame of image data; and

determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

4. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the method comprises determining a frame size associated with the frame of image data.

5. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the method comprises polling the source.

6. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the method comprises loading the decode algorithm into memory.

7. A computer readable medium storing instructions for performance of a method executable by a processor, the method comprising:

determining an ID value of a source of a frame of image data; and

in response to the determination of the ID value of the source, processing the frame of image data in accordance with a decode algorithm in an effort to decode a decodable indicia in the frame of image data.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the method comprises determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the method comprises:

determining the source of the frame of image data; and

determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the method comprises determining a frame size associated with the frame of image data.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the method comprises polling the source.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the method comprises loading the decode algorithm into memory.

13. A method for decoding information, comprising:

determining, with a processor, an ID value of a source of a frame of image data; and

in response to the determination of the ID value of the source, processing, with the processor, the frame of image data in accordance with a decode algorithm in an effort to decode a decodable indicia in the frame of image data.

14. The method of claim 13, comprising determining, with the processor, a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

15. The method of claim 13, comprising:

determining, with the processor, the source of the frame of image data; and

determining, with the processor, a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

16. The method of claim 13, comprising determining, with the processor, a frame size associated with the frame of image data.

17. The method of claim 13, comprising polling the source with the processor.

18. The method of claim 13, comprising loading the decode algorithm into memory with the processor.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the processor is within a decoder module.

20. The method of claim 13, wherein the source is an imaging module.
