WEARABLE DEVICES FOR COURIER PROCESSING AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
First Claim
1. A wearable, electronic device for performing courier services, comprising:
- a depth camera for detecting object depths in a field of view;
a scanner for decoding visual codes;
a speaker for producing audible sounds in response to an electrical signal;
a memory for storing instructions; and
one or more processors communicatively connected to the depth camera, scanner, and speaker, the one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform the operations of;
detecting a scanning event based on a first signal received from the depth camera, the scanning event comprising a gesture input performed in proximity to a first surface,determining a scan region associated with the scanning event based on a location and depth of the gesture input,providing a second signal to the scanner causing the scanner to decode a visual code located within the scan region,generating scan data based on a third signal received from the scanner, the third signal reflecting information obtained from the visual code, andproviding a fourth signal to the speaker causing the speaker to emit a notification sound in response to generating the scan data.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include wearable devices and methods for performing courier services. In one implementation, the device includes a depth camera for detecting object depths in a field of view, a scanner for decoding visual codes, a speaker for producing audible sounds in response to an electrical signal, memory, and a processor. The processor may execute instructions to detect a scanning event based on a first signal received from the depth camera, determine a scan region associated with the scanning event, provide a second signal to the scanner causing the scanner to decode a visual code located within the scan region, generate scan data based on a third signal received from the scanner, and provide a fourth signal to the speaker causing the speaker to emit a notification sound. The wearable device may also capture signatures, dimension objects, and disable device functions based on time and place restrictions.

12. A computer-implemented method for performing courier services using a wearable electronic device, the wearable electronic device comprising a depth camera for detecting object depths in a field of view, a scanner for decoding visual codes, a speaker for producing audible sounds in response to an electrical signal, and a connector facilitating wearing the device around an upper portion of a human arm, such that the device has a substantially elliptical cross section when wom, the method comprising the following operations perform on one or more processors:
-
detecting a scanning event based on a first signal received from the depth camera, the scanning event comprising a gesture input performed in proximity to a first surface; determining a scan region associated with the scanning event based on a location and depth of the gesture input; providing a second signal to the scanner causing the scanner to decode a visual code located within the scan region; generating scan data based on a third signal received from the scanner, the third signal reflecting information obtained from the visual code; and providing a fourth signal to the speaker causing the speaker to emit a notification sound in response to generating the scan data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
