An ergonomic âpress-on-press-offâ capture mode is added to an existing âpress-and-holdâ capture mode in a portable hand-held scanning device without adding additional control buttons or requiring the user to make a selection between which capture mode to use. Supporting both capture modes simultaneously is accomplished through monitoring the capture button and distance traveled by the device. When the capture button is pressed and released, a check is made to see if the device was moved a predetermined distance while the capture button was depressed. If yes, then the press-and-hold capture mode is confirmed, and image data capture ends. If no, then the press-on-press-off capture mode is confirmed, and image data capture continues, even though the capture button is not depressed, until a second press of the capture button or lift off. The second press of the capture button or lift off terminates the image data capture for the press-on-press-off capture mode.

Portable memory storage cards can be stacked together in a receiver that also serves as a player, allowing for compact and efficient storage and usage of those cards. The portable memory storage cards have at least one contact on both sides, positioned such that the cards are reversible. A receiver for the cards also serves as the player. A set of contacts is provided at one end of a storage cavity, into which an arbitrarily large number of cards may be stacked together, such that their contacts touch to form a bus. The stacked cards are biased against the set of contacts to establish physical contact between the set of contacts in the storage cavity and contacts on the adjacent card. The cards each include at least one alignment guide to restrict the motion of adjacent cards relative to one another when cards are stored in the cavity of the receiver.

A framing aid for a handheld document capture device such as a digital camera, comprising two pattern generators () generating convergent patterns () that are in register on a target object plane. Triangulation between the two pattern generators () and using superimposed or complementary patterns () ensures that the hand held device () is correctly arranged at a predetermined range and orientation above a document to be captured, such that the document is accurately framed within the field of view of the capture device ().

An integrated image sensor for acquiring and processing electrical signals representative of an object comprising a photosite array configured to convert light into the electrical signals, an A/D converter configured to convert the electrical signals into digital data, and logic integral with the image sensor configured to scale the digital data by a non-integer-scaling factor. A method for acquiring and processing image data with an integrated image sensor comprising the steps of capturing, via the image sensor, the image data representative of an image, scaling, via the image sensor, the image data by a non-integer value, and outputting from the integrated image sensor scaled image data.

A method and device for generating image data are disclosed herein. One embodiment of the method comprises focusing an image of an object onto a two-dimensional photosensor array, wherein an optical element is located between the object and the two-dimensional photosensor array. The optical element is moved, wherein the moving causes the image focused on the two-dimensional photosensor array to move parallel to the two-dimensional photosensor array. Data representative of the image is generated by the two-dimensional photosensor array while the optical element is moving.
