First Claim
Patent Images
1. A software method comprising:
- receiving scan data from a device after the device retrieves a readable code from a container, the container having at least one transmitter contained therein;
processing the scan data to generate a container code based on the readable code;
receiving a signal from the at least one transmitter, the signal including identification information;
generating a transaction code based on the container code and the identification information; and
instructing the device to transmit the transaction code to a processing device.

9. A software method for a processing device comprising:
-
receiving a transaction code transmitted from a device, the transaction code including data corresponding to a container code of a container and identification information of a transmitter associated with the container;
updating a database table based on the container code and the identification information;
generating a response code based on information stored in the database table, the response code being usable by the device to generate a response indicator for processing the container; and
transmitting the response code to the device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

21. One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
receive scan data from a device after the device retrieves a readable code from a container, the container having at least one transmitter contained therein;
process the scan data to generate a container code based on the readable code;
receive a signal from the at least one transmitter, the signal including identification information;
generate a transaction code based on the container code and the identification information; and
instruct the device to transmit the transaction code to a processing device.
