9. A mobile communication terminal comprising:
- a microprocessor;
a memory;
an imaging device configured to acquire an image of decodable indicia;
wherein said mobile communication terminal is configured to pre-process said image by performing at least one of;
(i) identifying one or more areas of interest within the image;
(ii) cropping said image based on said one or more areas of interest;
(iii) clipping one or more images from said image based on said one or more areas of interest;
(iv) increasing or reducing a pixel resolution of at least part of said image;
(v) converting said image to a grayscale image;
(vi) converting said grayscale image to a monochrome image; and
(vii) compressing said image using a compression algorithm;
wherein said mobile communication terminal is further configured to transmit said pre-processed image to an external computer for decoding said decodable indicia.

Abstract
A data decoding system can comprise a client computer including an imaging device and one or more servers executing at least one decoding process. The client computer can be configured to acquire an image of decodable indicia and to process the acquired image by:
- (i) identifying one or more areas of interest within the image;
- (ii) cropping the image based on the identified areas of interest;
- (iii) clipping one or more images from the image based on the identified areas of interest;
- (iv) increasing or reducing a pixel resolution of at least part of the image;
- (v) converting the image to a grayscale image or to a monochrome image; and/or
- (vi) compressing the image using a compression algorithm.
The decoding process can be configured, responsive to receiving a decoding request comprising the processed image, to decode the decodable indicia and to transmit the decoding operation result to the client computer.
