If you want to use an Android device camera, you don't need to connect the device to the USB port. Not like a webcam, there's no driver for opening Android camera straightforward on PC.

A possible workaround:

  1. Use WebSocket for communication between the desktop browser (E.g. desktop.htm) and the mobile browser (E.g. mobile.htm).
  2. Use WebRTC (getUserMedia) to open Android camera in the mobile browser.
  3. Embed a JavaScript barcode SDK (E.g. ZXing or Dynamsoft JavaScript Barcode SDK) into your mobile web app.
  4. Read barcodes and sync results from mobile.htm to desktop.htm via WebSocket.
