Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of industrial identification technology, and in particular to a composite multi-purpose code scanning engine, and a code scanning system and a code scanning device having the code scanning engine. Background Art

[0002] Barcode technology is an efficient automatic identification technology in the era of big data, and is an effective means to achieve fast, accurate and reliable data collection. The application of barcode technology solves the bottleneck problem of data entry and data collection, and is widely used in retail, libraries, product quality tracking, mobile payment, logistics and other fields, providing favorable technical support for data collection and management.

[0003] Take the logistics industry as an example. In today's society, express delivery and logistics are becoming more and more convenient, and the number of express delivery orders is also increasing day by day. There are various ways and methods for express delivery / logistics to deliver goods to the door, such as direct delivery to the door, centralized delivery at logistics stations, and self-pickup at express cabinets, etc. As everyone's work and life pace is getting faster and faster, sometimes no one is at home when express delivery / logistics delivers goods to the door, or only the elderly are at home. When no one is at home, the delivered items are generally placed at the door. When the family is at home, they will be handed over to the family, and the recipient will receive the goods when he is at home. For the express delivery placed at the logistics station, the person and his family will go to the station to pick up the express delivery or report the delivery code to the station staff to pick up the express delivery when the time is convenient. For the express delivery placed in the express cabinet, the person or his family will also pick up the express delivery by scanning the code or the pickup code when the time is convenient. When the delivery is delivered to the door, sometimes the wrong express delivery may be delivered due to various reasons; or when picking up the goods at the logistics station, the wrong express delivery may be picked up due to various reasons. If the wrong item is taken, missed or delivered to the wrong person, it will be troublesome for the recipient, sender or courier company. All parties have to recall the circumstances of delivery or pickup, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes among the parties, causing a lot of trouble for all parties and causing delays in work and business.

[0004] In order to solve this problem, existing express delivery, logistics or post stations, in addition to scanning barcodes, sometimes require couriers / staff to take a photo as evidence (Proof of Delivery) when delivering / picking up goods, so as to facilitate tracing and determining responsibilities when disputes occur. Some use the scanning engine (ScanEngine) of the scanning PDA to take a photo of the package for archiving, but the problem is that most scanning engines use black and white pixel scanning cameras with low resolution. In addition, in order to pursue scanning speed and signal-to-noise ratio, the photos taken by the scanning engine are darker, and the field of view of the scanning engine is also specially optimized for scanning, and the field of view angle is not large. Therefore, these archived photos are either black and white, which is very different from what the human eye actually sees, or too dark, or the field of view is too narrow or the resolution is too low to see the full picture and details of the package, and the tracing effect is not good. Some use the camera of the scanning PDA to take a photo of the package for archiving, which requires the courier or staff to take an additional picture after scanning the code. When taking this photo, the operator needs to change from the scanning posture to the photo-taking posture and angle, which wastes a lot of time when pursuing efficient delivery. Moreover, most operators will take pictures and leave quickly in order to save time. There is a high probability that the photos taken will be blurred or flowery due to hand movement when taking pictures, resulting in poor results. Summary of the invention

[0024] In order to solve the problem of inconvenience or poor effect caused by the single black-and-white pixel barcode scanning camera configured in the existing PDA in the delivery of goods and the archiving of delivery photos, this application proposes a barcode scanning engine configured in the PDA, which adopts a heterogeneous dual-camera design, a black-and-white pixel barcode scanning camera for scanning and identification, and a color pixel archiving camera for taking photos and archiving. The barcode scanning camera is the same as the existing design, such as resolution, field of view angle, focal length, etc. This camera is designed for barcode scanning and identification; the other archiving camera is designed with a larger field of view angle and a higher resolution (two million or more) according to the needs of taking photos and archiving. The lens can use a fixed-focus lens according to the working distance to save focusing time.

[0025] In the specific architecture design of the code scanning engine, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, place the black and white pixel code scanning camera 10 and the color pixel archive camera 20 side by side and keep the same direction. This design can make the scanning and taking pictures posture consistent, save the switching time from the straight holding posture of scanning the code to the vertical holding posture of taking pictures, and is easy to use; set the lighting module 22 (generally including light-emitting diodes LED and lenses) between the code scanning camera 10 and the archive camera 22. This design allows the lighting LED to take care of both code scanning recognition and photo archiving at the same time, preventing a camera from causing inconsistent brightness due to different coverage of the lighting and the overlap degree of the camera field of view; and the aiming indication module 12 (Aimer) can be set next to the code scanning camera (either left or right), because the aiming indication module only needs to take care of scanning the code, and no aiming indication is required when taking pictures and archiving.

[0026] Based on the above design concept, different specific technical solutions and working principles of the present invention are explained below with different specific implementation methods. Embodiment 1:

[0036] The control of the lighting module 22 is connected to the host 100, and the host controls the on and off and brightness of the lighting; the control of the archive camera 20 for archiving is controlled by the host 100; the data of the code scanning camera 10 and the archive camera 20 are directly connected to the host.

[0037] The implementation methods of Example 3 and Example 4 can save a single-chip microcomputer control module MCU.

[0038] Reference Figure 7 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the working process of the composite multi-purpose barcode scanning device of the present invention. When the courier delivers the item to the logistics site, he is ready to scan the barcode on the package to indicate that the item has been delivered. The barcode scanning engine of the host (generally a mobile barcode scanning device, such as a mobile phone, PDA, tablet, etc. equipped with a barcode scanning engine) turns on the lighting, the barcode scanning camera obtains the barcode image for decoding, and the archiving camera takes a photo for archiving. In one embodiment, since the control of the lighting LED is connected to the single-chip microcomputer control module MCU, regardless of whether the aiming indication module is directly connected to the barcode scanning camera or connected to the single-chip microcomputer control module MCU, the single-chip microcomputer control module is based on the exposure synchronization signal of the camera, and the single-chip microcomputer control module controls the on and off and brightness of the lighting lamp in real time. , turn off Aimer when exposing, and turn on Aimer when not exposing, so as to avoid the scanning camera capturing the bright spots of Aimer when decoding the barcode image, thereby affecting the barcode recognition; the scanning camera is controlled by the scanning engine to control the gain, exposure, lighting, etc. to perform decoding operations; the archiving camera is controlled by the host to control the gain, exposure, white balance, etc. to take pictures and archive; the data of the scanning camera and the archiving camera are directly connected to the host; if the host does not receive the decoded data or the archiving picture, the scanning engine continues to try to decode, and the host controls the archiving camera to continue trying to take pictures, until the decoding is successful and the archiving camera successfully obtains the picture, and the data is transmitted to the host; then turn off the lighting, the scanning camera and the archiving camera, and the work is completed.

[0039] In another embodiment, since the control of the lighting LED and the control of the code scanning camera are both connected to the host, regardless of whether the aiming indication module is directly connected to the code scanning camera or connected to the host, the host controls the aiming indication module (Aimer) based on the exposure synchronization signal of the camera, and the host controls the on and off and brightness of the lighting lamp in real time, turns off the Aimer when exposing, and turns on the Aimer when not exposing.
