Sign character extracting module and method

Abstract

The invention provides a sign character extracting module applied to a barcode identifying device, comprising a bar and blank boundary storer, a boundary counter, a width calculating unit and a control logic unit, wherein the bar and blank boundary storer is used for storing the bar and blank boundaries of bar codes; the boundary counter is used for counting the quantity of the bar and blank boundaries stored by the bar and blank boundary storer; the width calculating unit is used for calculating the total width of the bar and blank boundaries stored by the bar and blank boundary storer to obtain the combined width value of the stored bar and blank boundaries; and the control logic unit is used for acquiring the bar and blank boundary number and the bar and blank width of the sign characters of the bar codes and then judging according to the quantity of the bar and blank boundaries and the combined width value of the stored bar and blank boundaries as well as the bar and blank boundary number and the bar and blank width of the sign characters of the bar codes to remove interference boundaries in the bar and blank boundaries. The invention also provides a sign character extracting method. The sign character extracting module and method can accomplish the work of removing the interference boundaries when acquiring the bar and blank boundaries, thereby quickening the decoding speed of the bar codes and shortening the decoding time.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of barcode identification, in particular to a symbol character extraction module and an extraction method thereof applied in a barcode identification device. 【Background technique】 [0002] Bar code technology is an emerging technology developed on the basis of computer technology and information technology that integrates coding, printing, identification, data collection and processing. Barcode technology is widely used in business, library management, warehousing, post and telecommunications, transportation and industrial control due to its advantages of fast, accurate, reliable and low cost, and is bound to play an important role in the emerging "Internet of Things" applications. role. [0003] Currently widely used barcodes include one-dimensional barcodes and two-dimensional barcodes. A one-dimensional barcode, also known as a linear barcode, is composed of multiple "bar" and "space" units arranged ...
