Abstract
A platform-independent system and associated method are provided for use with a mobile communication device. Included is a mobile communication device capable of communicating via a wireless network. Such mobile communication device includes an operating system installed thereon. Associated therewith is a platform-independent scanning subsystem in communication with the operating system of the mobile communication device for scanning purposes. Further provided is a platform-independent application program interface for interfacing the operating system and the scanning subsystem. The platform-independent application program interface includes an abstract library for porting the platform-independent scanning subsystem to the mobile communication device and associated operating system.
