ABSTRACT:
A fully automatic bar code symbol reading system having at least one automatic portable bar code symbol reading device, and an associated base unit positioned within the data transmission range thereof without a physical wiring connection thereto. After each successful reading of a bar code symbol, the bar code symbol reading device automatically produces symbol character data representative of the decoded bar code symbol, synthesizes a group of data packets each containing the symbol character data, and then transmits the synthesized group of data packets to the base unit. Upon the successful receipt of one of the transmitted data packets and the recovery of symbol character therefrom, the base unit generates an acoustical acknowledgment signal that is perceptible to the user of the bar code symbol reading device and indicates the transmitted symbol character data has been successfully received. In typical applications, a plurality of such bar code systems are used in physical proximity with each other, such as in conventional retail point-of-purchase environments. In accordance with the present invention, radio frequency carrier signals of the same frequency are used by each hand-supportable bar code symbol reading device to transmit groups of data packets to respective base units. Data packet interference at each base unit is minimized during data packet reception by using a novel data packet transmission scheme.
