Abstract
A barcode reading system for a mobile device that includes a camera and a white illumination source is described. The barcode reading system includes a barcode reading enhancement accessory and a barcode reading application. The barcode reading enhancement accessory is secured to the mobile device and folds a field of view of the camera and a field of illumination of the white light source towards a target area. The barcode reading application includes an image capture function, a decoder function for generating decoded data from the image of the barcode, and a relay function for sending the decoded data to a remote server. The remote server can be an intermediary device or a non-legacy system. The intermediary device can be configured to communicate with a legacy system. The relay function can determine whether the decoded data is intended for the legacy system or the non-legacy system.
