Abstract
A barcode reading application includes an image capture function for controlling a white light source and a camera of a mobile device to capture an image of a barcode in a target area. The barcode reading application also includes a decoder function for receiving the image of the barcode and generating decoded data representing data encoded in the barcode. The barcode reading application also includes a non-legacy mobile client function for transmitting the decoded data to a non-legacy system. The barcode reading application also includes a legacy mobile client function for transmitting the decoded data to an intermediate server, which then provides the decoded data received from the legacy mobile client function to a legacy system. The barcode reading application also includes a relay function for determining whether the decoded data is intended for the legacy system or the non-legacy system.
