https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23699 Bug ID: 23699 Summary: Add option to use smartphone/tablet/notebook cam as barcode reader Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kugler_stefan@hotmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Just a crazy thought, but it could be useful for small libraries or to use a smartphone/tablet as a mobile terminal for librarians. Use a JavaScript library like quaggaJS [0] to turn smartphone cams (or webcams on notebooks) into a barcode reader. -) Add an option to the system preferences to enable JS barcode reader (e.g. "Use mobile device cam as barcode reader: disabled | enabled | on mobile devices only | user/session defined ...") -) If enabled, an additional button (e.g. with font awesome barcode symbol) next to the header search field (e.g. between input form and submit button) -) The barcode button opens a modal with the barcode scanner to get patron id or item id -) Also add a barcode button to the checkout field in circulations for reading item barcode.
