Abstract
A Portable Data Assistant (PDA) inputs non-conventional data such as barcode data from a barcode reading device (i.e., a barcode scanner) into an application program running on the PDA. A special input routine (SIR) is loaded into the PDA for inputting and processing data received from the non-conventional input device. The SIR scans the input data and verifies that it contains valid data for the target application program. The input data is remapped, if needed, responsive to instructions in a configuration file. For example, barcode data may be remapped to predefined ASCII characters. The input data is then communicated to the application program via conventional communications paths compatible with the application program.
