It’s not a story you hear every day. In fact, the story is more of a ‘pump-your-fist-in-the-air’ celebration for the common American hero. When Michael McInnis attempted to rob a Seven Eleven convenience market in Massachusetts, he was genuinely surprised when an unnamed elderly woman put a halt to his efforts. Without missing a beat, the elderly woman seized the barcode scanner off the check-out counter and repeatedly clobbered the robber in any place she could target.
Even through her wild efforts were honorable, she failed to make barcode-to-body contact with the robber. But, the elderly heroine halted his efforts, since he got away with less than $100 in cash before making an escape.
The elderly woman should be commended for her outstanding courage in protecting the shop from thievery. We cannot help but make a few strategic product recommendations for future robbery halts.
• Use the scanner stand, because there’s a good amount of weight ready to be used.
• Flexible stands are no good. The Motorola LS2208 is not a reliable choice because it is too bendy. A rigid design delivers greater force.
• Try using the scanner as a Bolas, and swing it around by its cord, num-chuck style. Now, be sure to double-check the cable to ensure it isn’t worn, or else the scanner might break off from the cord and it could potentially harm an innocent bystander.
• Do not try to dazzle the thief with a laser scanner, i.e., shining the beam into his or her eye. The laser energy is fairly low, so you will only waste time by trying to ineffectively blind the perp. Do not even try a linear imager or a CCD scanner because these devices do not use laser light.
• The Honywell/Metrologic MS1633 2D barcode scanner is not the master weapon, as once commonly thought. Though, you can use this device to take a photograph of the hooligan. Keep in mind you will have to quickly configure the device and you must have the instructional manual handy to access the camera feature.
If you own a Seven Eleven shop, and are worried that informed bandits may use the barcode scanner against you, buy the Metrologic MS9540, which is equipped with a strong, suitable stand that actually attaches to the counter. Weapon foiled.
Mobile, personalized advertisement is on the rise. This new technology conjures thoughts of the movie Minority Report, where Tom Cruise walks into a GAP retail store with freshly implanted eyes. His stolen eye scanners begin to access previous purchases, and other pieces of information customized specifically to him. We may be living in the future, because this type of mobile, personalized advertisement is on move… except for the stolen eyeballs, of course.
Augme Technologies announced the successful integration of the new technology Scanbuy. This barcode scanner application ha AD Life Mobile marketing built in.
This new technology allows the consumer to scan barcodes of their favorite retail items from afar. Instantly, the information is retrieved and stored. The iPhone features a similar app, but the data is limited to only pricing comparisons and a simple, brief overview of the product. The new BlackBerry messenger is equipped with a barcode scanner, too, which allows two users to swap contact info quickly and easily.
This technology uses EAN and ISBN barcodes. It successfully integrates the time-tested reliability of traditional UPC codes, which can be found literally across the globe.
Augme’s mobile enterprise is foreshadowing a union of traditional, digital, and mobile channels with new up-to-the-minute mobile marketing. They have sought out and pinned down some of the largest conventional medial channels in the United States since they partner with the mindset of creating mobile disciplines in the marketing arena. The company captures significant digital revenue as a counter to their now slumped ad revenues—a lost art in today’s marketing ventures. The channels of old and new marketing are seeing a paradigm shift in advertising that is accelerating in today’s competitive market. With mobile and social networking sites as a catalyst to new technology, advertising is moving rapidly from brand awareness to the new, fashionable brand interactivity model. Augme is capitalizing on an age where the consumer can now use mobile technology to connect with a brand, its information, the promotional offers, and the brand story. Mobile has now created a two way conversation from consumer to brand.
Augme’s current medial channel partners now account for a whopping $20 billion dollars in traditional media account payables. The partners represent ad revenues from the top US advertisers. An aggregate $20 billion is significant since every single unique dollar is representative of a repurposed revenue into channels, and ultimately is Augme’s pockets. For instance, News Corp’s company called News America Marketing, which is coincidentally the largest Free Standing News Paper and In-Store advertiser, now mobilizes its sales force. It sells traditional media combined with mobile response add-ons that add up to a considerable amount of revenue per client order. This paradigm shift will come to a point where mobile component revenues will fill and exceed revenue on traditional print marketing.
Companies like AOL and Yahoo!, which are a dying breed, must understand that history is constantly repeating itself, and now Augme is providing the new tools for success. Web marketing used to be unharnessed, and companies used to turn to AOL and Yahoo! for cookie-cutter, turnkey solutions. Remember the days of AOL keywords? That day is long gone, yet the principle remains the same. Augme utilizes keywords, too, but in the context of mobile brand content to connect the consumer and collect the necessary data that makes the wheels of marketing to continue spinning. The old AOL model is not the same as Augme’s strategy since Augme is not bound to a subscriber base, as was AOL in the 90s. Now, Augme’s channel and brand executions can reside literally anywhere on the web, in the store, on a billboard, in a magazine, on TV, or any other surface, space, or crevice.
With quiet confidence, Augme is defining a new media category anchored by technology. Their mobile position and market strategy gives the company an advantage over the largest web giants like Google, Yahoo!, and even AOL.
Experienced in the Automatic Identification and Data Capture market, Socket Mobile Inc. is a big name when it comes to mobile productivity solutions. Making mobile computing and productivity work, Socket offerings mainly include a wide range of handheld computers . And this year, the company has come up with its latest two-dimensional 2D barcode scanners. Designed with an intention to develop a high-tech, portable barcode scanning solution, the Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) 7X and the CHS 7XRx are compatible with a variety of application requirements. Having a compact size, the scanners are easy to handle, owing to the lightweight possessed by the device.
Incorporating a wide variety of modern features such as support for the Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) Profile, The CHS 7X and 7XRx support a simple installation method i.e. “Plug-and-play”. Besides, there’s no need of installing barcode scanning software on the host computing platform. Apart from the fact that the device comes with a tactile vibration mode meant for ensuring successful scans and transfer of wireless data, both the barcode scanners cordlessly interface with several Bluetooth devices such as the Socket SoMo 650 handheld computer, tablet and desktop PCs, in addition to a number of smart phones.
Talking specifically about the Socket Bluetooth CHS 7X, it serves as the standard version of the 2D barcode scanner. This is to be used with business mobility software applications in the sectors of hospitality and retail including field service and inventory control. On the contrary, the Socket Bluetooth CHS 7XRx has been particularly designed for use in the different applications of healthcare. For example, it can help in taking scans of patient wristbands for detection purposes. In addition to possessing the features supported by the standard version, CHS 7XRx has the advantage of an antimicrobial casing which offers protection against the different bacteria.
Since 2D barcodes incorporate the vertical dimension for increasing the density of the data, they have the ability to have more information as compared to the traditional 1D linear barcodes. Website URLs, individual contact information and product reviews and information are some good examples of the kind of information normally transformed into 2D barcodes. As far as the current usage trends for 2D barcodes are concerned, these involve smart phone applications meant for the display of e-tickets for airlines and retail payments.
If we have a look at the benefits of the two barcode scanners, the devices seem to have much to offer. The Bluetooth HID Profile support can not only be easily set-up but at the same time, needs no additional software. Because of the feature of tactile vibration recognition, you can feel a scan even if you’re working in a noisy atmosphere. Moreover, both the 2D cordless barcode scanners support omni-directional barcode scanning which means, conventional 1D linear can be read. Data editing features are available in addition to the incorporation of CMOS high-density imaging technology. The scanners also feature Bluetooth v2.1 with 330 ft (100 m) range. Now, coming to the functioning of the barcode scanners in terms of the charge duration, the 2D cordless barcode scanners can operate for around ten hours without any trouble, on just a single charge.
So, what about the position of the barcode scanner in terms of the “affordability” factor? Well, both the versions are easily available in the market. The introductory price set by Socket Mobile Inc. is around $650 for Socket Bluetooth CHS 7X whereas the price for Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner 7XRx starts at $685.It is expected that the company will soon launch additional versions including SocketScan™ Software.
