Methods and Systems for Light Based Accidental Scan Avoidance

Abstract: methods and systems for avoidance of unintended indicia scanning are disclosed herein. an example method may comprise: (1) illuminating, via a first illumination assembly, a predefined region; (2) illuminating, via a second illumination assembly, outside the predefined region, (3) capturing, via an imaging assembly, image data taken over a field of view (fov), the fov partially overlapping first illumination light projected from the first illumination assembly and second illumination light from the second illumination assembly; (4) analyzing, via a controller, the image data; (5) causing, when an object is determined to appear within a working range of the at least one fov and is illuminated with the second illumination light, the indicia reader to operate pursuant to a first set of operating parameters; and (6) causing, when the object is determined to appear within a working range of the at least one fov and is not illuminated with the second illumination light, the indicia reader to operate pursuant to a second set of operating parameters.
