Abstract

The invention relates to decoding utilizing image data. The image data can be received from a source. A processor can process the image data for decoding. A processing for decoding can be responsive to determined information.

Claims (17)

1. A computer readable medium storing instructions for performance of a method executable by processor for use in decoding information, the method comprising (a) recognizing a format of a received frame of image data, the received frame of image data being received from a source, wherein the recognizing includes determining an ID value for the source; and (b) activating a certain decode algorithm for processing an image data frame received from the source, the processing being a processing for decoding a decodable indicia that can be represented in the image data frame, the activating being responsive to a result of the recognizing.

2. The computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the recognizing includes determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

3. The computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the parameter is frame size.

4. The computer readable medium of column 1 , wherein the recognizing includes determining the source of the frame of image data and wherein the recognizing includes determining a parameter associated with the frame of image data.

5. The computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the image data frame is the frame of image data.

6. A computer readable medium storing instructions for performance of a method executable by processor for use in decoding information, the method comprising (a) determining a source of a frame of image data, wherein the determining includes determining an ID value of the source; and (b) activating a certain decode algorithm for processing an image data frame received from the source, the processing being a processing for decoding decodable indicia that can be represented in the image data frame, the activating being responsive to a result of the determining.

7. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the determining includes polling the source.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the activating includes loading the certain decoding algorithm into memory.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the image data frame is the frame of image data.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the activating includes loading the certain decoding algorithm into memory.

11. A method for use in decoding information, the method including:

(a) determining utilizing a processor source of a frame of image data, wherein the determining includes determining an ID value of the source; and

(b) activating a certain decode algorithm for processing utilizing the processor an image data frame received from the source, the processing being a processing for decoding a decodable indicia that can be represented in the image data frame, the activating being responsive to a result of the determining.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the processor is provided by a microprocessor based decoder module.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the source is an imaging module.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the image data frame is the frame of image data.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the activating includes loading the certain decoding algorithm into memory.
