Abstract
A mobile device includes a camera, a user interface system, and a processor communicatively coupled to the camera and the user interface system. The processor is typically configured for running a first application. The first application is typically configured for (i) accessing the camera, (ii) upon the initialization of the first application, initializing the camera, and (iii) maintaining the camera in an initialized state as long as the first application is running. The application may be further configured for focusing the camera and maintaining the camera in a focused state as long as the first application is running.

19. A mobile device, comprising:
-
a memory storing a first application; a user interface comprising a display; a camera having a field of view; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the user interface, and the camera, the processor being configured for running the first application, the first application being configured for; upon initialization of the first application, initializing the camera; after initializing the camera, running an autofocus cycle for the camera; running a sequence for accessing image data from the camera; displaying live image data from the camera on the display; capturing and decoding image data from the camera to decode a barcode in the camera'"'"'s field of view; maintaining the camera in the initialized state and the focused state after the sequence for accessing image data has been terminated.
