Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of barcode scanning guns, and in particular to a wireless barcode scanning gun with an electronic tag setting function.BACKGROUND

[0002] A barcode scanning gun is a device for rapidly scanning a barcode or a QR code. It usually uses an optical sensor or a laser scanner to read information on the barcode, and convert the information into digital data for processing on a computer or other devices. The barcode scanning gun is widely applied to the retail industry, the logistics industry, the warehousing industry, the medical industry and other industries, capable of improving the working efficiency and accuracy. When the barcode scanning gun is used, it is only necessary to point a gun head at the barcode or the QR code, and trigger a scanning button or automatic inductive scanning, and then the information on the barcode is rapidly read and transmitted to a corresponding device.

[0003] When the current barcode scanning gun is used, a configuration parameter of the QR code or the barcode is stored in a memory of the barcode scanning gun. In a case that the barcode scanning gun scans the QR code or the barcode, after the barcode scanning gun processes scanned data, it matches the scanned data to the corresponding parameter in its memory. Its long data retrieval time requires high data retrieval ability of the barcode scanning gun.

[0004] US20040065741A1 discloses a configuration system including: a handheld data reader for scanning a machine-readable label attached to a cable; a control unit within the reader for processing the scanned data; an RFID interrogator for reading an RFID tag on the label; the RFID tag itself storing a unique identifier; and the machine-readable label. In this system, the data reader scans the label and transmits the obtained data to the internal control unit. Accordingly, the combination of features disclosed in US20040065741A1 corresponds to all features recited in the preamble of claim 1.

[0005] EP2397968B1 discloses an intelligent optical code reader with learning capabilities, which tracks and saves configuration settings that achieve successful reads most often, and can automatically change these configuration settings in a predetermined sequence independent of user input.

[0006] EP2662805A1 discloses encoding configuration information of an apparatus into an optical code displayed on its screen, wherein the optical code can be read by another device to derive and send said configuration information to a database.

[0007] Based on this, the invention designs a wireless barcode scanning gun with an electronic tag setting function, so as to solve the above problems.SUMMARY
