Abstract
Abstract A self-contained, portable data entry terminal positioned within a cordless, wand-type enclosure. Positioned within the enclosure is a bar code optical reader (12), signal conditioning electronics (14,15), a microprocessor (16), a memory (19), and a rechargable battery (22). The bar code optical reader is a sensor/emitter (12) that functions as both a sensor and an emitter to permit the readout of data stored in the memory (19).

A self-contained, portable data entry terminal (10), characterized by: an optical sensor (12); signal conditioning means (14,15) responsive to said optical sensor (12); processor means (16) responsive to said signal conditioning means (14,15) for processing input data sensed by said sensor (12); memory means (19) for storing said input data; a power source (22); and a self-contained, cordless, wand-type enclosure (11) for housing said sensor (12), said signal conditioning means (14,15), said processor means (16), said memory means (19) and said.power source (22).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
1 . A self-contained, portable data entry terminal (10), characterized by: an optical sensor (12); signal conditioning means (14,15) responsive to said optical sensor (12); processor means (16) responsive to said signal conditioning means (14,15) for processing input data sensed by said sensor (12); memory means (19) for storing said input data; a power source (22); and a self-contained, cordless, wand-type enclosure (11) for housing said sensor (12), said signal conditioning means (14,15), said processor means (16), said memory means (19) and said.power source (22).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A self-contained, portable data entry terminal according to Claim 1, characterized in that it further comprises: audio output means (20) responsive to said processor means (16) for audibly signalling operation of said data entry terminal (10).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A self-contained, portable data entry terminal according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that it further comprises: visual output means (21) responsive to said processor means (16) for visually signalling operation of said data entry terminal (10).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A self-contained, portable data entry terminal according to Claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said sensor is an optical sensor/emitter (12) and is conpled to conducting means (16,25) said conducting means conducting said input data stored in said memory means (19) to said optical sensor/emitter (12).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A self-contained, portable data entry terminal according to Claim 4 characterized in that said conducting means includes said microprocessor (16) for reading the input data stored in said memory means (19) and conducting said data to said optical sensor/emitter (12).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
6 A self-contained, portable data entry terminal according to Claim 4 or 5, characterized in that said input data pulses said optical sensor/emitter (12) to provide an optical output indicative of said stored input data.
