1. A system comprising an acquisition device, a controller system, and a display device for displaying information about one or more items moving along a path, the system configured to:
- capture image data of an item moving along a path while the item is located within an acquisition zone located along the path;
capture an item identifier for the item;
identify one or more display features based at least in part on the item identifier; and
cause display of at least a portion of the image data of the item and the one or more display features after a predefined time delay after the portion of the image data is captured, wherein the predefined time delay is determined based at least in part on a distance between a point in the acquisition zone and a corresponding point in a work zone spaced a distance away from the acquisition zone and the speed at which the items are moving along the path, such that the portion of the image data is displayed while the item is located in the work zone.

Abstract
Concepts for presenting display features to a user of a system which comprises a display, an acquisition device, and a controller system. In various embodiments, the acquisition device is configured to capture image data of one or more items moving along a conveying mechanism and read item identifiers associated with each item. The system then associates or identifies display features with each item identifier and presents the captured image data with the display features presented on or near the image data of the items.

8. A method of displaying information about one or more items moving along a path comprising the following steps:
-
(1) capturing image data of an item moving along a path while the item is located within an acquisition zone located along the path; (2) receiving an item identifier for the item; (3) identifying one or more display features based at least in part on the item identifier; (4) associating the one or more display features with the item identifier and the image data; and (5) displaying the image data and the one or more display features after a predefined time delay after capturing the image data, wherein the predefined time delay is determined based at least in part on a distance between a point in the acquisition zone and a corresponding point in a work zone spaced a distance away from the acquisition zone and the speed at which the items are moving along the path, such that the portion of the image data is displayed while the item is located in the work zone. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
