Reading one-dimensional and two-dimensional symbols
3GVision's
Barcode Reader SDK is a software-only solution designed
to help you develop enterprise applications that turns any
camera phone into a high performance barcode scanner which
is affordable, yet flexible. 3GVision Barcode SDK supports
one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes. Reading barcodes
that include a URL has become a standard method to access
wireless sites in Japan. With more than 50 million handsets
shipped worldwide, 3GVision's Barcode Reader is the
clear market leader and the technology of choice for the cellular
community.
An Easy Way to Read Printed Information
Modern barcodes can store a large amount of information, like
URLs or product information, and even entire news articles
or business cards. Using mobile handsets to scan printed or
electronically displayed barcodes helps end-users access various
types of wireless data, bypassing the tedious process of typing
URLs and access codes.
Platform for Wireless
Services
Wireless operators encourage printing of barcodes to the
benefit of their users, while enjoying increased data traffic.
Barcodes provide infrastructure to additional services such
as
M-Commerce, wireless messaging, content download
of ringtones and multimedia, as well as enterprise
applications.
Market Proven
3GVision software was tailored to numerous handsets
and platforms. It successfully passed the most demanding
quality assurance tests by wireless operators and manufacturers
in Japan, and shipped to millions of users.
Easy Integration
The powerful and flexible SDK allows painless integration
into any wireless device. Integration as a stand-alone
barcode reader application is also possible. The Barcode
Reader has been successfully integrated in various system
levels: Directly in the camera device; Embedded on the handset;
and in open systems. The SDK allows you to embed
barcode reader functionality into a wide range of applications,
ranging from POS, warehousing, inventory
management, field support and more.
Platform and Processor
Independent
The SDK comes in ANSI-C and JAVA flavours,
to achieve maximum portability. It is available for all
major wireless platforms, and for most embedded systems.
Small Footprint
Thanks to low memory requirements, the SDK adds little
weight to wireless systems and fits perfectly in either
downloadable or embedded solutions.
Robust
For a better user experience, the Barcode Reader
automatically distinguishes the barcode type. Barcodes are
decoded successfully at any direction, and even on non-planar
surfaces like cylinders. Heavy-duty applications enjoy the
quick decoding (60 barcodes/minute were demonstrated) and
high success rate.
Designed for Mobility
The Barcode Reader, like all of 3GVision's image-recognition
technologies, was designed and optimized for cameras
and computing systems found in wireless devices.
