Editing Barcode scanner

A '''barcode scanner''' or '''barcode reader''' is the device that reads a [[barcode]].  ''This will usually be required to trigger the [[Consumerium buying signal]] at the [[retail shelf]] or [[checkout counter]].  Supporting it is the most basic of our [[hardware requirements]] and [[software requirements]].''

'''Barcode scanner''' devices exist in many forms, some of which are quite cheap, and others of which are quite small and portable.  They are easily [[battery]] operated.  The smallest are infrared contact devices. Those used in [[checkout counter]]s are high powered [[laser]] scanners, worn on the finger - the [[scanner ring]] that anyone can wear innocuously.  ''This might provide an advantage in meeting certain [[performance requirements]].''

''See [[scan barcode]] for the only thing we need to do with these devices.''

:The [[mobile device code]] to integrate these with another body-[[worn device]], communications networks and the rest of the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] will typically have to run on [[Symbian]] or another [[mobile OS]].  ''[[DECT]] or possibly [[Python]] support for these devices is the most likely integration path - see [[software requirements]].''
