Abstract
Abstract A display data processing device for processing bar code data displayed on a display screen such as a television monitor by an interlaced scanning process includes a photosensor for reading bar code data displayed on the screen, a counter circuit for counting the coded data bits read by the photosensor means to determine whether the data is displayed by an odd-number field or an even-number field and which produces a signal corresponding to the result of the determination. This signal is used in conjunction with a plurality of timer circuits which provide signals corresponding to the duration of odd and even number field scanning periods to ensure accurate storing of data in a shift register which is provided with the output signals of the photosensor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A display data processing device for processing coded data displayed on a display screen in an interlaced scanning manner, comprising: means for reading said coded data displayed on said display screen; means for determining whether the coded data read by said means for reading is displayed by an odd-number field or an even number field and producing a signal corresponding to the result of the determination; means for storing the coded data read by said means for reading in first and second storage means in response to the signal produced by said means for determining; and means responsive to the signal produced by said means for determining for synchronizing the storage of data in said first and second storage means with the timing of an odd-number field scanning or an even-number field scanning.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
