In an embodiment, the present invention is an imaging engine assembly that includes a housing with a window, an imaging assembly positioned within the housing, the imaging assembly operable to capture image data over a field of view extending through the window and decode an indicium captured in the image data, and a cover positioned at least partially over the housing. The imaging engine housing and the cover are configured such that the cover is alternatively mountable between a first orientation and a diametrically opposed second orientation relative to the housing.

Examples disclosed herein provide a scanning device with ergonomic features. As an example, the scanning device includes a rear housing section, a grip housing section, and a lower housing section, all coupled to each other. The rear housing section includes a trigger disposed on an end of the rear housing section, for activating the scanning device. A perimeter of the grip housing section includes the ergonomic features, and an end of the lower housing section opposite from the end of the rear housing section includes an optical scanner.

A barcode scanner system includes a scan unit which includes, on one surface thereof, a scan module for scanning a barcode and has, on the other surface thereof, a structure for coupling to a body unit; and the body unit which has one surface having a shape corresponding to the coupling structure of the scan unit, and includes a display module, a communication module, an operation module, and a fingerprint recognition module. The body unit recognizes fingerprint information of the user through the fingerprint recognition module, and transmits the fingerprint information to a server to perform authentication. When a user input to the operation module occurs after authentication completion information is received from the server, a barcode scan is performed, and the scanned barcode information is transmitted to the server. Barcode information and user information identified through recognition of the fingerprint information are matched and stored in the server.

A barcode reader assembly for capturing at least one object appearing in a field of view (FOV) is provided that includes a reader enclosure, a circuit board to capture and decode the image, an imaging system, a sound generator housing, and a sound generator. The reader enclosure has an internal cavity in which the circuit board is disposed. The sound generator housing is operably coupled with the circuit board and includes at least one wall having at least one sound port and extending upwardly from the circuit board to form a sound chamber. The sound generator is operably coupled with the circuit board and is at least partially disposed within the sound chamber to generate a sound at a resonant frequency. The sound generator housing is dimensioned to amplify the resonant frequency of the sound generator and port the generated sound to the internal cavity of the reader enclosure.

A barcode scanner assembly for capturing at least one object appearing in a field of view (FOV) is provided that includes a base defining a curved base surface and a scanner enclosure being mechanically coupled to the base. The scanner enclosure includes a top portion and a bottom portion opposite the top portion. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure is positioned proximate to the base. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure includes a curved scanner enclosure surface. The curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface are nested such that a clearance of less than approximately 5 mm is formed between the curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface.

A ruggedized triggering handle device for a mobile scanning system supports a mobile device (tablet, smartphone) attachable by a bracket on the upper surface of the handle. The handle may establish a wireless link to the mobile device; a trigger of the handle device includes a magnetic switch which, when driven proximate to a triggering element enclosed within the handle, causes the triggering element to transmit key codes and instructions via the wireless link, enabling the user to trigger applications and peripheral components (e.g., cameras, scanners, imagers) of or proximate to the mobile device via the handle. The handle may be contoured to the user's hand such that the trigger corresponds to the index finger; additional buttons corresponding to other fingers may allow for remote operation of other applications, functions, and peripherals of the mobile device by other fingers without the need for visual reference to the handle.

A barcode reader assembly for capturing at least one object appearing in a field of view (FOV) is provided that includes a reader enclosure, a circuit board to capture and decode the image, an imaging system, a sound generator housing, and a sound generator. The reader enclosure has an internal cavity in which the circuit board is disposed. The sound generator housing is operably coupled with the circuit board and includes at least one wall having at least one sound port and extending upwardly from the circuit board to form a sound chamber. The sound generator is operably coupled with the circuit board and is at least partially disposed within the sound chamber to generate a sound at a resonant frequency. The sound generator housing is dimensioned to amplify the resonant frequency of the sound generator and port the generated sound to the internal cavity of the reader enclosure.

A system including a multi-dimensional scanner includes a body including a chassis extending from the body, a connector assembly coupled to the chassis, and a plurality of interchangeable attachments. Each of the plurality of interchangeable attachments is securable to the body via the connector assembly and each of the plurality of interchangeable attachments is associated with a type of operation of the system.

A mobile device housing defines a battery compartment with a wall extending from an open rear to a closed front. A first latch stop extends from the wall between the rear and the front. A second latch stop extends from the wall between the first stop and the rear. A battery receivable in the compartment includes a latch that: extends to engage the first stop and maintain the battery fully inserted, and to engage the second stop and prevent ejection of the battery from an intermediate position; and retracts to disengage from the first stop, unlocking the battery for travel to the intermediate position, and to disengage from the second stop for ejection of the battery from the intermediate position.

A barcode reader is provided. The barcode reader includes a first image acquisition assembly having a first imager assembly configured to capture infrared (IR) light and an IR illumination assembly configured to emit IR light over at least a portion of a first field of view (FOV) of the first imager assembly so as to illuminate targets within the first FOV. The barcode reader further includes a second image acquisition assembly having a second imager assembly configured to capture visible light and a visible-light illumination assembly configured to emit visible light over at least a portion of a second FOV of the second imager assembly so as to illuminate targets within the second FOV.
