Patent 9297900 was granted and assigned to Hand Held Products on March, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A code symbol reading system is provided. The code symbol reading system has an object detection subsystem that can be configured to detect only those objects that are positioned at a specified distance from the system. The object-detection subsystem thereby initiates the scanning process only when an object is detected at substantially the specified distance from the system.
