[0002] QR code scanning devices are extremely common and widely used in real life. The usage scenarios include but are not limited to stores, supermarkets, shopping malls, merchant stores, small and micro merchants, scenic spots, etc. The amount of money collected and paid through QR code scanning devices every year is trillions of dollars. QR code scanning devices are closely related to people's daily lives and are indispensable.

[0003] There are many forms of QR code scanning devices on the market. The most frequently used and common ones are the following two: handheld barcode scanners and fixed barcode scanning boxes. Handheld barcode scanners are generally used in store and supermarket cashier business. Cashiers can use handheld barcode scanners to read the price of the product's one-dimensional code, and can also use handheld barcode scanners to read the customer's payment code for cashiering, which is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. The disadvantage of handheld barcode scanners is that cashiers need to actively complete the scanning action, which reduces the operating efficiency of stores and supermarkets. Fixed barcode scanning boxes are also widely used in stores and supermarkets. Cashiers do not need to actively scan the code, and customers scan the code to pay by themselves. It is a customer self-service payment device. The disadvantage of the fixed barcode scanning box is that it is not convenient to read the one-dimensional code price of the product. Since the one-dimensional code price is at a certain position on the product packaging, it is difficult to quickly align the fixed barcode scanning box with a specific position on the product packaging, which greatly affects the operating efficiency of stores and supermarkets.

[0004] Therefore, usually at the same cash register counter, a handheld barcode scanner and a fixed barcode scanner box are deployed to implement two scanning methods. However, this method increases the deployment site, and there may be incompatibility between the devices, resulting in multiple scanning of one item, multiple items being missed, etc., which brings losses and troubles to stores, supermarkets and the general public.
