382183000 | Characters formed entirely of parallel bars (e.g., CMC-7) | 8 |
20080304747 | IDENTIFIERS FOR DIGITAL MEDIA - A computer-implemented method includes receiving a piece of content, wherein the piece of content comprises a machine-readable identifier, identifying the machine-readable identifier in the piece of content, and associating the machine-readable identifier to the piece of media content. | 12-11-2008 |
20090041353 | Method and system for collecting event attendee information - A method and system for a user to collect point of contact information for one or more event attendees, in which identification information associated with an attendee is scanned and transmitted to a data server. More particularly, a method and system is provided for a user to scan a bar code on a visitor identification badge and extract an identification code which can be sent to a data server in order to obtain certain visitor information associated with the identification code. The user can access the data server to obtain the information associated with the user's data collection activity which can stored on the data server such as the information on each scanned visitor badge and associated visitor information, as well as time and location of the data capture. | 02-12-2009 |
20090148044 | Device and Method for Virtualizing an Image Sensor - A method virtualizes an image sensor. The method comprises selecting one of at least two portions of a filter to use as a function of a mode of operation. The method comprises capturing an image using the selected one of the at least two portions. The method comprises executing a functionality using data extracted from the image. The functionality corresponds to the mode of operation. | 06-11-2009 |
20090285484 | PORTABLE IMAGE PROCESSING AND MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE - A portable device configured to provide enhanced shopping information is provided. The portable device has a display screen and an image capture device and the portable device is configured to access databases through a wireless network. The portable device includes image recognition logic that is configured to perform analysis of an image of an object that includes a bar code associated with a product. The analysis determines if the graphics found on the object correspond to a bar code and a portion of an image with the bar code is communicated through the wireless network to the databases to identify the product. The portable device further includes image generation logic that is configured to obtain product information for the identified product from the databases and present the product information on the display screen of the portable device. | 11-19-2009 |
20130071029 | Dynamic Multidimensional Barcodes For Information Handling System Service Information - Multi-dimensional barcodes at a product include service identifiers for the product so that an end user with a portable information handling system captures an image of the multi-dimensional barcode and extracts the service identifiers to obtain service information from a service network location. For example, a service identifier embeds a URL that links to a video demonstrating how to assemble the product. As another example, a service identifier links to a service network location and includes a unique identifier so that an end user retrieves warranty or purchase information for the product. | 03-21-2013 |
20160019439 | EXTRACTING CARD IDENTIFICATION DATA - Extracting card information comprises a server at an optical character recognition (“OCR”) system that interprets data from a card. The OCR system performs an optical character recognition algorithm an image of a card and performs a data recognition algorithm on a machine-readable code on the image of the card. The OCR system compares a series of extracted alphanumeric characters obtained via the optical character recognition process to data extracted from the machine-readable code via the data recognition process and matches the alphanumeric series of characters to a particular series of characters extracted from the machine-readable code. The OCR system determines if the alphanumeric series and the matching series of characters extracted from the machine-readable code comprise any discrepancies and corrects the alphanumeric series of characters based on the particular series of characters extracted from the machine-readable code upon a determination that a discrepancy exists. | 01-21-2016 |
20160086045 | COMMISSIONING HVAC DEVICE WITH OPTICAL COMMUNICATION - A method of commissioning an electronic building system controller includes presenting a static visual code to a camera of the electronic building system controller. The electronic building system controller extracts information from the static visual code and reconfigures internal programming responsive to extracting the information. | 03-24-2016 |
20160092744 | MEDICINAL SUBSTANCE IDENTIFICATION BASED ON CONTAINER RECOGNITION - Provided is a system for identifying a drug container that includes an image capture device configured to capture an optical image of a portion of a label provided to the drug container, and a non-transitory computer storage medium storing a plurality of features for each of a plurality of different drugs included in a database. The features associated with each of the plurality of different drugs are suggestive of an identity of a drug identity but do not, alone, positively identify the drug identity. A processing component is configured to receive data representing the optical image transmitted by the image capture device and to identify a candidate for the drug identity based on the plurality of features associated with the candidate. | 03-31-2016 |
