Abstract

The invention relates to decoding utilizing image data. The image data can be received from a source. A processor can process the image data for decoding. A processing for decoding can be responsive to determined information.

Claims

1. A computer readable medium storing instructions for performance of a method executable by processor for use in decoding information, the method comprising (a) recognizing a format of a received frame of image data, the received frame of image data being received from a source;

and (b) processing the frame of image data for decoding a decodable indicia that can be represented in the frame of image data, the processing being responsive to a result of the recognizing

3. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the recognizing includes determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

6. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the parameter is frame size.

2. The computer readable medium of column 1, wherein the recognizing includes determining the source of the frame of image data.

5. The computer readable medium of claim 2, wherein the recognizing includes determining an ID value for the source.

4. The computer readable medium of column 1, wherein the recognizing includes determining the source of the frame of image data and wherein the recognizing includes determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

7. A computer readable medium storing instructions for performance of a method executable by processor for use in decoding information, the method comprising (a) determining the source of the frame of image data;

and (b) processing the frame of image data for decoding decodable indicia that can be represented in the frame of image data, the processing being responsive to a result of the determining.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the determining includes determining an ID value of the source.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the determining includes polling the source.

10. The method for use in decoding information, the method including:

(a) determining utilizing a processor a frame size of a frame of image data received from a source; and

(b) processing the frame of image data utilizing the processor for decoding a decodable indicia that can be represented in the frame of image data, the processing being responsive to a result of the determining.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the processor is provided by a microprocessor based decoder module.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the source is an imaging module.
