Terminal operative for storing frame of image data
First Claim
1. A terminal comprising:
- a housing;
a first imaging assembly disposed in the housing for generating frames of image data, the first imaging assembly having a first imaging axis extending from the housing;
a second imaging assembly disposed in the housing for generating frames of image data, the second imaging assembly having a second imaging axis extending from the housing;
a display on the housing extending in a display plane on the housing;
a buffer memory communicatively connected to the first imaging assembly and the second imaging assembly;
a storage memory communicatively connected to the first imaging assembly and the second imaging assembly;
wherein the terminal is configured for;
before an activation of a trigger signal, capturing frames of image data with the first imaging assembly and the second imaging assembly;
storing the frames of image data captured before an activation of a trigger signal in the buffer memory;
after an activation of a trigger signal, displaying, with the display, (i) a first indicator corresponding to a stored frame of image data captured with the first imaging assembly before the activation of the trigger signal and (ii) a second indicator corresponding to a stored frame of image data captured with the second imaging assembly before the activation of the trigger signal;
receiving a selection of the first indicator or the second indicator by an operator;
in response to receiving a selection of the first indicator, archiving the stored frame of image data captured with the first imaging assembly before the activation of the trigger signal corresponding to the first indicator; and
in response to receiving a selection of the second indicator, archiving the stored frame of image data captured with the second imaging assembly before the activation of the trigger signal corresponding to the second indicator.

Abstract
There is set forth herein an imaging terminal having a picture taking mode of operation. In the picture taking mode of operation the terminal can capture a frame of image data into a buffer memory prior to activation of a trigger signal. The terminal can be operative so that responsively to activation of a trigger signal, the terminal transmits one or more frames of the buffer memory to a storage memory. The terminal can further be operative so that responsively to activation of a trigger signal an operator is presented with indicators of frames captured both prior to and subsequent to the activation of the trigger signal. The terminal can be operative so that an operator can select for archiving one or more frame.
