APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING A VARIABLE DATA CAPTURE PROCESS
First Claim
1. A method of performing a variable data capture process at a data capture device comprising a data capture module and a trigger mechanism, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the device, an initial activation of the trigger mechanism;
initiating a data capture, by the data capture module, in response to the initial activation;
detecting a continued activation of the trigger mechanism subsequent to the initial activation; and
performing, by the device, a data capture operation based on identifying an obtained gesture following the detection of the continued activation.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing a variable data capture process at a data capture device comprising a data capture module and a trigger mechanism is provided. In operation, the data capture device detects an initial activation of the trigger mechanism. In response to the activation, data capture is initiated at the data capture module. A continued activation of the trigger mechanism subsequent to the initial activation is also detected. Following the detection of the continued activation of the trigger mechanism, the device identifies an obtained gesture and performs a data capture operation based on the identified gesture.
