ENCODED INFORMATION READING TERMINAL INCLUDING HTTP SERVER
First Claim
1. An encoded information reading (EIR) terminal comprising:
- a microprocessor communicatively coupled to a system bus;
a memory communicatively coupled to said system bus;
a communication interface coupled to said system bus;
an EIR device communicatively coupled to said system bus, the EIR device selected from the group consisting of;
a bar code reading device, an RFID reading device, and a card reading device;
a microprocessor communicatively coupled to said system bus;
wherein said EIR terminal is configured is configured to execute an HTTP server software module;
wherein said EIR terminal is further configured, responsive to receiving a first HTTP request from an HTTP client, to transmit an HTTP response to said HTTP client, said HTTP response comprising at least one HTML page, said at least one HTML page including at least one HTML element defining one or more input fields configured to receive one or more terminal configuration parameters;
wherein said EIR terminal is further configured, responsive to receiving from said HTTP client a second HTTP request comprising one or more values of said one or more terminal configuration parameters, to perform at least one terminal configuration operation based on said one or more values of said one or more terminal configuration parameters.

Abstract
An encoded information reading (EIR) terminal can comprise a microprocessor, a memory, a communication interface, and an EIR device, all communicatively coupled to a system bus. The EIR device can be provided by a bar code reading device, an RFID reading device, and/or a card reading device. The EIR terminal can be configured to execute an HTTP server software module. The EIR terminal can be further configured, responsive to receiving an HTTP request, to transmit to the originating HTTP client an HTTP response comprising at least one HTML page including one or more input fields configured to receive one or more terminal configuration parameters. The EIR terminal can be further configured, responsive to receiving an HTTP request comprising one or more values of the terminal configuration parameters, to perform at least one terminal configuration operation based on the values of the terminal configuration parameters.
