First Claim
1. a method, comprising:
- receiving input data from a user by a mobile unit (MU), the input data including a request for data capture functionality, the MU comprising at least one capture engine and at least one sensor module;
obtaining external data using the at least one sensor module data capture module, the external data being indicative of at least one external condition related to the MU;
selecting one of the at least one capture engine of the data capturing module as a function of the external data and the input data, the selected capture engine configured to obtain output data using the data capture functionality; and
automatically executing a predetermined procedure using the MU as a function of the selected capture engine and the external data, the predetermined procedure including a plurality of steps, one of the steps being obtaining the output data; and
the predetermined procedure is a sequence of a plurality of predetermined functionalities;
wherein the sequence includes at least one of capturing an image of a target area having at least one barcode disposed therein, determining whether encoded data of the barcode is capable of being decoded, determining a specific location within a warehouse, projecting the specific location onto the target area, projecting instructions related to an item onto the target area, updating a view on a display device of the MU with at least one of the specific location and the instructions, and determining the selected capture engine as a function a location of the MU.

Abstract
A device and method automatically executes a predetermined procedure. The method includes receiving input data by a mobile unit (MU), the input data including a request for output data, the MU including a data capture module. The method includes obtaining external data using the data capture module, the external data being indicative of at least one external condition related to the MU. The method includes selecting one of at least one capture engine of the data capturing module as a function of the external data and the input data, the selected capture engine configured to obtain the output data. The method includes automatically executing a predetermined procedure using the MU as a function of the selected capture engine and the external data, the predetermined procedure including a plurality of steps, one of the steps being obtaining the output data.
