Abstract

Abstract A display device for displaying the scanning speed of a hand scanner is described. An encoder 28 detects the scanning speed of the hand scanner. A microprocessor 26, 30 produces a series of display driving signals, in each case when the scanning speed exceeds a respective one of an increasing sequence of preset scanning speeds. A series of display elements 1-7 responsive to respective display driving signals indicate whether the scanning speed exceeds the respective preset scanning speeds.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A display device for displaying the scanning speed of a hand scanner comprising: means for detecting the scanning speed of the hand scanner; control means for producing a display driving signal when the scanning speed exceeds a preset scanning speed; and a display element responsive to the display driving signal for indicating whether the scanning speed exceeds the preset scanning speed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 66 words
A display device according to claim 1 in which the control means is adapted to produce a series of display driving signals, in each case when the scanning speed exceeds a respective one of an increasing sequence of preset scanning speeds and comprising a series of display elements responsive to respective display driving signals for indicating whether the scanning speed exceeds the respective preset scanning speed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A display device according to claim 2 in which the sequence of display elements is arranged in the same order as their respective preset scanning speeds.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
A display device according to claim 2 or claim 3 in which the control unit further comprises a memory for storing data relating to a range of scanning speeds divided into multiple sub-ranges.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
A display device according to claim 4 in which the sub-ranges are bounded by the preset scanning speeds.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 36 words
A display device according to any one of claims 2-5 in which only one display driving signal is produced corresponding to the highest of the preset scanning speeds which is lower than the detected scanning speed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 31 words
A display device according to any one of claims 2-5 in which all display driving signals corresponding to preset scanning speeds which are lower than the detected scanning speed are produced.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 82 words
A display device according to any preceding claim in which the means for detecting the scanning speed of the hand scanner comprises: an encoder mounted for rotation with a moving roller of the hand scanner and including a disc having a circumferential array of slits; and a pulse waveform production unit including a light receiving unit and a light emitting unit, for outputting a pulse only when one of the slits passes between the light receiving unit and the light emitting unit.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 33 words
A method of displaying the scanning speed of a hand scanner comprising: detecting the scanning speed of the hand scanner; activating a display element when the scanning speed exceeds a preset scanning speed.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 32 words
A method according to claim 9 comprising: activating a series of display elements, in each case when the scanning speed exceeds a respective one of an increasing sequence of preset scanning speeds.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 27 words
A hand scanner including a display device according to any one of claims 1-8 or adapted to perform a method according to claim 9 or claim 10.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 25 words
A display device for displaying the scanning speed of a hand scanner as described herein with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Claim 13
Independent Claim 24 words
A method of displaying the scanning speed of a hand scanner as described herein with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
