    DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AN OBJECT COMPRISING A
    LABEL
    Technical area
    The present invention relates to an identification device of an object, the object having a label. The present invention is in the field of automatic data capture (AIDC for Automatic Identification and Data Capture in English).
    By "tag" is meant in particular: - an electronic tag such as a radio-tag ("RFID tag" in English for Radio-frequency identification), or - an optical tag such as a barcode.
    Biometric type labels, optical character recognition, magnetic tapes, etc. can also be mentioned. Such labels make it possible to obtain the traceability of the identified object. The term "object" is understood as a real object, for example a product, or as a virtual object, for example an activity. Thus, applications handling, storage, sorting, order preparation, electronic traceability of livestock and domestic animals, access control are considered.
    State of the art
    A device known from the state of the art, in particular from US Pat. No. 8,832,323, comprises: a data capture module configured to capture data from the tag of the object; a hull comprising a first enclosure delimiting a first reception volume intended to receive a smartphone ("smartphone" in English), the hull being fixed to the data capture module; - Wireless connection means configured to connect the data capture module to the smart phone.
    Such a device of the state of the art is not entirely satisfactory insofar as the data capture module is not protected in the event of a fall of the device. In addition, in operation, the device is entered by the user via the data capture module, which is not necessarily designed to be ergonomic, because of its main technical function. It is then desirable to design an ergonomic shape of the data capture module to ensure easy grip of the device by the user, which complicates the manufacture and increases the related costs.
    Presentation of the invention
    Thus, the present invention aims to remedy all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks, and for this purpose concerns a device for identifying an object comprising a label, the device comprising: a shell comprising a first enclosure delimiting a first volume of reception intended to receive a smartphone; a data capture module configured to capture data from the label of the object; - Connection means configured to electrically connect the data capture module and the ordiphone; the device being remarkable in that the shell comprises a second enclosure delimiting a second reception volume, and in that the data capture module is arranged inside the second enclosure, within the second reception space.
    Thus, such a device according to the invention makes it possible to protect the data capture module in the event of a fall via the shell. In addition, it is not necessary to design an ergonomic form of the data capture module insofar as the device in operation is grasped by the user via the shell, which reduces the manufacturing costs relative to the size of the data capture module. state of the art. Moreover, such a shell makes it possible to securely attach the smartphone and the data capture module in an ergonomic manner, and allows interchangeability of both the computer and the data capture module. Such a device according to the invention forms a mobile data capture terminal.
    By "ordiphone" is meant a mobile electronic device that provides, by radio, communication functions, such as telephony and / or access to the Internet, as well as computer or multimedia functions. The term "ordiphone" includes a smartphone ("smartphone" in English) or a touch pad.
    Advantageously, the device comprises a radio-identification antenna mounted on the shell, the radio-identification antenna being configured to cooperate with the data capture module.
    Thus, the fact that the radio-identification antenna is mounted on the shell makes it possible to have a single certification of compliance with respect to the radiofrequency electromagnetic compatibility of the data capture module.
    Advantageously, the connection means are mounted on the shell.
    Thus, such a shell allows a physical connection between the ordiphone and the data capture module. By "physical connection" is meant a wired electrical connection.
    According to one embodiment, the connection means comprise: a first physical connector intended to provide an electrical connection with the ordiphone; a second physical connector adapted to provide an electrical connection with the data capture module.
    Advantageously, the first and second speakers are superimposed or juxtaposed.
    Thus, such arrangements of the first and second speakers facilitate the gripping of the device by the user.
    Advantageously, the device comprises first guiding means arranged to guide the ordiphone inside the first enclosure.
    Advantageously, the device comprises second guide means arranged to guide the data capture module inside the second enclosure.
    Thus, such first and second guiding means make it possible to simplify the interchangeability of the ordiphone and the data capture module.
    According to a variant, the device comprises first and second drawers slidably mounted relative to the shell, and forming respectively the first and second enclosures.
    Thus, such first and second drawers make it possible to simplify the interchangeability of the ordiphone and the data capture module.
    Advantageously, the connection means comprise a charge management unit of the batteries of the ordiphone and the data capture module.
    Thus, such a management unit optimizes the consumption of the device. The battery of the ordiphone can dispose of the energy of the battery of the data capture module, and vice versa.
    Advantageously, the shell comprises a third enclosure delimiting a third reception volume, and the device comprises a payment terminal arranged inside the third enclosure, within the third reception space.
    Thus, such a device also forms a mobile point of sale (MPOS for Mobile Point of Sale).
