First Claim
Patent Images
1. A barcode reading system for a mobile device, the barcode reading system including:
- a barcode sled reader configured to connect to the mobile device, the barcode sled reader including;
a barcode reader configured to generate image data of a barcode; and
a decoding processor configured to receive the image data from the barcode reader, decode the image data, and send the decoded image data to the mobile device;
a relay application stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium of the mobile device and executed by a processor of the mobile device;
a tool application executed by a processor of an intermediary device and in communication with a legacy system, wherein;
the relay application and the tool application are each configured to perform a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to establish and maintain a TCP/Internet Protocol (IP) connection there-between over an IP network for transport of decoded image data provided by the barcode sled reader;
the relay application is configured to;
each time it receives decoded image data from the barcode sled reader forward the decoded image data to the tool application via the TCP/IP connection; and
the tool application is configured to receive the decoded image data from the relay application via the TCP/IP connection and provide the decoded image data to the legacy system via a transport distinct from the TCP/IP connection.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a relay application configured to send decoded barcode image data to an intermediary device as text via a TCP/IP connection. The relay application is executed by a processor of a mobile device that is in communication with the barcode sled reader. The barcode sled reader includes a barcode reader that generates image data of a barcode and a decoding processor that decodes the image data.
