        var updatedParameters = config.toJson();
        const defaultJsonName = "VinScreen";
        var configuration = await SharedCalls.applyParametersOnDefaultJson(
            defaultJsonName, updatedParameters);
        var result =
            await SharedCalls.invoke(_channel, 'startVinScanner', configuration);
        if (SharedCalls.wasCanceled(result)) {
          return VinScanResult.canceled();
        }
        return VinScanResult.fromJson(jsonDecode(result));
      } catch (e) {
        Logger.root.severe(e);
        return VinScanResult.error(e.toString());
      }
    }
