Abstract

A system and corresponding method for detecting and processing codes, in particular barcodes, and in particular in a healthcare environment. The system includes at least one peripheral module and a central module. The at least one peripheral module includes a code reader adapted for reading codes, a transmitter adapted for transmitting code data corresponding to the codes read by the code reader, a receiver adapted for receiving information data, and an output device adapted for outputting messages corresponding to the information data received by the receiver. The central module includes a receiver adapted for receiving the code data transmitted from the transmitter of the at least one peripheral module, a processor adapted for processing the code data received by the receiver and generating the information data to be received by the receiver of the at least one peripheral module depending on the processed code data, and a transmitter adapted for transmitting the information data generated by the processor. Thus, it is possible to detect codes and to transmit them to a central module for further processing in easy and flexible manner.
