Abstract

A process whereby deliberate multiple and consecutive scans or reads of a unique ID Tag such as a barcode or ID chip is used to denote different actions, events, or status concerning the item or person attached to the unique ID Tag.

Claims

1. In a data collection system using, but not limited to, unique ID Tags such as barcodes, silicon chips, or radio frequency identification tags;

along with data collection devices such as, but not limited to, scanners, probes, readers, or radio frequency data collectors;

using deliberate, multiple and consecutive scans or reads of the same unique ID tag within a limited period of time may be used to indicate multiple specific actions taken upon, events occurring to, or status of the item or person to which the unique ID tag is linked.
