Interactive Sensing Technology

This section describes the functionality of the Interactive Sensing Technology (IST) feature on the MC95XX.
The IST supports the following features.

•

Power Management – manage power by configuring IST to control switching on/off the backlight, control
suspend mode of the MC95XX by monitoring motion and orientation.

•

Display Orientation – switch the screen orientation to either landscape or portrait depending on the MC95XX
orientation.

•

Gesture Input – configure the MC95XX to perform various tasks by monitoring user gestures and reacting to
them.

•

Free Fall Detection – monitors free fall duration and records the time and type of the drop event.

Power Management

The MC95XX orientation and motion sensitive data can be used as an indicator of MC95XX usage and can be
used to manage the battery power of the mobile computer. For example, IST can be configured to control the
backlight on and off functionality or go into suspend according to a user gesture by placing screen facing down. It
can also be used to keep the MC95XX active while it is in movement to prevent it from quickly going into suspend
mode while in use.

Display Orientation

The screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape modes automatically, depending on the physical
orientation of the MC95XX. For example, if the MC95XX is rotated 90° counterclockwise, IST rotates the display
counterclockwise 90° so that the screen display appears correct.

This functionality is achieved by monitoring screen angle and rotating the display to counter any changes. IST only
rotates the screen in multiples of 90°.

Gesture Input

Gesture detection can be used to determine user intent and acts accordingly. IST can control screen scrolling
line-by-line or page-by page according to a user gesture of flick of the wrist whilst holding the mobile computer.

Figure 3-9

Free Fall Detection

IST continuously monitors gravitational force on the MC95XX according to its current position. When the MC95XX
free falls, IST detects the absence of gravitational force and records the event data if it detects a free fall more than
450 ms, which may indicates nearly a one meter drop. This data can be used as an indicator of potential abuse or
misuse.

IST features a log for recording the free fall events. This log records the date, time and the time period of the free
fall.

Using Voice-Over-IP

The MC95XX supports Voice over IP over WLAN (VoWLAN) using Motorola or third party voice clients. The
MC95XX can communicate using VoIP either using the MC95XX supports several audio outputs, including back
speaker phone, front receiver or handset, and Bluetooth headset.

It is recommended that the wireless network use the 802.11a (5 GHz) band for voice applications. Using the 5 GHz
band avoids some noise sources that may occur on the 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) band due to wireless interference.

When using a Bluetooth headset with the MC95XX and VoWLAN, it is required to use the Bluetooth Headset profile
instead of Hands-free profile. Use the buttons on the MC95XX to answer and end calls. See Chapter 7, Using

Bluetooth for information on setting up a Bluetooth Headset Profile.

Infrared Connection

Using infrared, you can enable short-range file exchange between your MC95XX and another IrDA device.

Exchanging Files using IR Connection

Ensure that the IrDA function on both the MC95XX and the other device are enabled.
To send files via IrDA connection:

1. Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send and locate the item in the list.

NOTE Do not cover or block the I rDA window.

Chapter 4 Data Capture

Preliminary

Introduction

The MC95XX offers three types of data capture options:

•

Linear scanning

•

Imaging

•

Digital camera.

NOTE To perform data capture, a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC95XX. A sample

scanning application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support Central site at

http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support.

Linear Scanning

MC95XX with an integrated linear laser scanner have the following features:

•

Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.

•

Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Scanning Considerations

Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However,
consider the following to optimize scanning performance:

•

Range
Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from

the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents

decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned.

4 - 2 MC95XX Series Mobile Computer User Guide

Incorrect

Correct

Preliminary

•

Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the

scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t scan at too sharp

an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode.
Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

•

Hold the MC95XX farther away for larger symbols.

was decoded successfully.

Linear Scanner Aiming Pattern

•

Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.

•

The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.

•

Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Data Capture 4 - 3

Preliminary

The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

Operational Modes

MC95XX with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode pressing
the Scan button.

•

Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC95XX attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of

view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.

NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the Support Central web site at

http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support

command.

•

Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in

the MC95XX’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair center dot over the required bar
code to decode only that bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and
manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

•

Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the MC95XX’s field of view. This is useful

for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.
