First Claim
1. A system for reading code symbols, comprising:
- a camera;
a user interface system comprising a visual display; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the camera and the user interface system, the processor being configured for;
capturing from the camera an image depicting a code symbol;
displaying the image on the visual display;
determining whether the code symbol in the image is readable by the processor; and

Abstract
A system for reading code symbols includes a camera, a user interface system, and a processor communicatively coupled to the camera and the user interface system. The user interface system includes a visual display. The processor is configured for (i) capturing an image including a code symbol, (ii) displaying the image on the visual display, (iii) determining whether the code symbol in the image is readable by the processor, and (iv) displaying on the visual display a positive indicator overlaying the code symbol in the image when the processor determines that the code symbol in the image is readable by the processor. The processor is further configured for reading the code symbol in the image in response to a selection input received from the user interface system.
