Imaging device operative for image processing
First Claim
1. A portable imaging device in communication with a first external processor system and a second external processor system, the portable imaging device comprising:
- an imaging assembly comprising a two dimensional image sensor and an imaging optics assembly for focusing an image onto the two dimensional image sensor;
a portable hand held housing supporting the imaging assembly;
a display;
wherein the portable imaging device is operative to obtain an image representation representing a scene;
wherein the portable imaging device is operative to recognize first indicia and second indicia represented in image data, the first indicia and second indicia being other than bar code indicia and being differentiated from one another;
wherein the portable imaging device is operative so that responsively to recognition of the first indicia in the image representation by the portable imaging device, the portable imaging device outputs image data to the first external processor system;
wherein the portable imaging device is operative so that responsively to recognition of the second indicia in the image representation by the portable imaging device, the portable imaging device outputs image data to the second external processor system.

Abstract
The invention relates to an imaging device of the type having an imaging assembly including a two dimensional image sensor. In one embodiment an imaging device can be used to obtain an area image representation. In one embodiment, the image representation can be processed. The processing of the image representation can include recognition of an indicia represented in the image representation. In one embodiment an image imaging device can output image data to a first external processing system responsively to reorganization of first indicia and can output image data to a second external processing system responsively to recognition of second indicia.
