When the trigger event occurs, the control module switches the barcode recognition program to foreground execution. When the barcode recognition program is in foreground execution, an image capture module captures at least one image frame, for the control module to recognize. The control module derives barcode information, so as to obtain a recognition result. After the control module outputs the recognition result to other application programs by simulating keystrokes, the control module switches the barcode recognition program to background execution. | 03-31-2011 |
