연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

There is set forth herein an imaging terminal having an image sensor array and a variable lens assembly for focusing an image onto the image sensor array. In one embodiment, an imaging terminal can include one or more focusing configuration selected from the group comprising a full set focusing configuration, a truncated set focusing configuration and a fixed focusing configuration. When a full set focusing configuration is active, a full set of candidate focus settings can be active when the imaging terminal determines a focus setting of the terminal responsively to a trigger signal activation. When a truncated set focusing configuration is active, a truncated range of candidate focus settings can be active when the imaging terminal determines a focus setting of the terminal responsively to a trigger signal activation. When a fixed focusing configuration is active, the focus setting of the imaging lens assembly can be fixed so that a predetermined lens assembly focus setting is active when a trigger signal is active.

The imaging terminal of claim 1, wherein the truncated set of candidate focus settings comprises a smaller range relative to a range of focus settings associated to the full set of candidate focus settings. 4. The imaging terminal of claim 1, wherein the truncated set of candidate focus settings comprises a lower resolution relative to a resolution of the full set of candidate focus settings. 5. An imaging terminal comprising: an image sensor array and an imaging lens assembly for focusing an image of a target onto the image sensor array, the image sensor array having a plurality of pixels, the imaging lens assembly being a variable imaging lens assembly capable of being set to a plurality of different focus settings;a hand held housing incorporating the image sensor array;wherein the imaging terminal is capable of operating in first, second, and third user selectable focusing modes of operation;wherein the imaging terminal is operative so that when the first user selectable focusing mode of operation is active, a first set of candidate focus settings are active when the imaging terminal determines a focus setting for the imaging lens assembly responsively to a trigger signal activation;wherein the imaging terminal is operative so that when the second user selectable focusing mode of operation is active, a second set of candidate focus settings are active when the imaging terminal determines a focus setting for the imaging lens assembly responsively to a trigger signal activation;wherein the imaging terminal is further operative so that when the third user selectable focusing mode of operation is active, a predetermined focus setting is active when a trigger signal is activated. 6. The imaging terminal of claim 5, wherein the imaging terminal is operative so that the first candidate set of focus settings is defined utilizing range information input by a user, and wherein the imaging terminal is further operative so that the second candidate set of the focus settings is defined by selection of a second prompt presented by the imaging terminal that references a common name for a specific article type. 7.
