1. A task management system comprising:
- a tasking unit configured to communicate, to a user, a task associated with at least one of an object or a location;
an electronic display positioned proximate at least one of the object or the location, the electronic display configured to communicate and selectively vary check data that is reflective of the object or location associated with the task; and
a portable user input device configured to receive an input from the user reflective of the displayed check data.

Abstract
A wireless task management system allows a user to communicate check data read or perceived from selectively variable for confirmation. A control unit controls the display, which selectively varies and displays the check data for the user. The check data is generally reflective of an object or location associated with an assigned task.

- 21. A verification apparatus for verifying a task performed by a user, comprising an electronic display positioned proximate at least one of an object or location associated with the task, the electronic display operable to display and selectively vary check data associated with the object or location, so that a user may generate an input useful in verifying the task, but is prevented from memorizing the check data.

28. A tasking assignment and verification system for directing workers to complete at least one task and to verify proper completion of the task comprising:
-
a central unit operable for assigning tasks to multiple workers and for directing the workers to go to various locations associated with the tasks;
verification units positioned proximate the various locations, each verification unit associated with a respective location or a product at the location and displaying verification data to be utilized by the worker to verify proper completion of the task;
the verification units operable to selectively vary the verification data to ensure physical proximity of the worker to the task location when verifying proper task completion. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
