Patent Images
1. A method of providing transmission information to a bar code scanner from a mobile phone comprising:
- receiving on the mobile phone the transmission information via a wireless transmission;
storing the transmission information on the mobile phone as stored transmission information;
presenting representative information for the stored transmission information on a screen of the mobile phone;
encoding in the mobile phone the stored transmission information into a bar code format;
generating in the mobile phone a signal from the bar code format to simulate a reflection of a scanning beam being moved across a static visual image of the bar code format; and
transmitting the signal as light pulses from the mobile phone.

Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus for communicating information encoded in a bar code format between a mobile communications device and a bar code scanner. Transmission information data is encoded into a bar code format. A signal is generated from the bar code format to simulate a reflection of a scanning beam being moved across a static visual image of the bar code format; and the signal is transmitted as light pulses from the mobile communications device.
