23. A product notice receiver comprising:
-
receiver capable of receiving a message frame;
processor capable of executing an instruction sequence;
output unit capable of providing an output signal in response to direction from the processor;
memory capable of storing one or more instruction sequences;
one or more instruction sequence stored in the memory including;
component product identification module that, when executed by the processor, minimally causes the processor to;
extract a product identifier from the message frame and also store the component product identifier in a component table stored in the memory when the message frame contains a component product identifier message;
product notice message module that, when executed by the processor, minimally causes the processor to;
extract a target product identifier from the message frame when the message frame contains a product notice message; and
direct an indication to the output unit when the target product identifier is substantially equivalent to at least one of the component product identifiers stored in the component table. - View Dependent Claims (25, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35)
