ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The disclosure relates to battery powered hand-held data entry terminals wherein a peripheral module may contain an automatically operating full image reader and a wireless communication unit. The reader reads at least one full line of indicia and may comprise a laser bar code scanner or a flash type image reader. Preferably the reader has uniform resolution in orthogonal directions in the field of view so that an area image can be read at any arbitrary angular orientation and re-oriented as a stored digital image to a normalized orientation before decoding. The user interface may lie in a first longitudinally extended layer and the peripheral module may lie in a second longitudinally extended adjoining layer. In normal reading disposition of the automatic reader, the user interface may be close to its normal orientation for user interaction therewith to provide for smooth transitions between reading and user interaction operations. A hand grip portion preferably underlies the user interface for comfortable support thereof during manual actuations. The peripheral module and hand grip portion may be used entirely separately from the user interface and may have a wireless link with the user interface. The user interface may comprise a digitizer/display with resolution for accurately digitizing and displaying a person's signature. Signatures may also be digitized via an optical full image reader for immediate verification.

L'invention concerne des terminaux portatifs (310) d'entrée de données, alimentés par piles, dans lesquels un module périphérique peut contenir un lecteur d'images entières (313) ainsi qu'une unité de radiocommunication (312) fonctionnant automatiquement. Ledit lecteur a de préférence une résolution uniforme dans les sens orthogonaux se trouvant dans le champ de vision, de sorte qu'une image d'une zone peut être lue à n'importe quelle orientation angulaire arbitraire, puis réorientée sous la forme d'une image numérique stockée, dans une orientation normalisée, avant le décodage. L'interface utilisateur (11, 12) peut reposer dans une première couche longitudinale, et le module périphérique (313) peut reposer dans une seconde couche adjacente longitudinale. Lorsque le lecteur automatique (313) est en position de lecture normale, l'interface utilisateur (11, 12) peut être proche de son orientation normale pour permettre une interaction entre l'utilisateur et ladite interface.
