Abstract
A wireless transceiver includes: (a) a low power radio frequency (LPRF) communications component capable of powering down to conserve energy and capable of powering up in response to an electronic signal, the LPRF communications component including a transmitter and a first receiver; and (b) a second receiver that is configured to screen a radio frequency broadcast and provide, on the basis of specific data identified therein, the electronic signal to the LPRF communications component in order to power up the LPRF communications component. The second receiver is adapted to draw less current than the LPRF communications component while awaiting receipt of and listening for a radio frequency broadcast.

2. A method of receiving identification information identifying a physical object, the method comprising:
-
receiving at a generic user interface component, identification information from an identification capture system that obtains the identification information from a tracking component associated with a physical object, the identification information identifying the physical object to which the tracking component has been associated, wherein the identification information is encoded in a first format compatible with an input device for the identification capture system and wherein the generic user interface component lacks functionality to format input for subsequent insertion in one or more data fields of a virtual representation of the physical object; and transmitting the received identification information to a universal decoding module that includes logic for reformatting identification information from a plurality of different types of identification capture systems, wherein the universal decoding module is configured to; determine the virtual representation of the physical object, the virtual representation being predefined by a process flow to receive the identification information, wherein the virtual representation has at least one data field to store the identification information; identify a second format used for the at least one data field; convert the first format compatible with the input device for the identification capture system into the second format of the at least one data field. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented method for transmitting identification information identifying a physical object, the method comprising:
-
determining a data field specified by a process flow, the data field having one or more fields to store an identification information to be encoded in a tracking component using an object interface component, the identification information to identify a physical object that is associated with the tracking component; receiving, at a generic user interface component that lacks functionality to format input for subsequent insertion in data fields of a virtual representation of the physical object, the identification information in a first format compatible with one or more data field fields, and identifying a second format used by the object interface component to encode the identification information in the tracking component; and converting the first format compatible with the one or more data field fields into the second format used by a universal decoding module, and forwarding the encoded identification information to the universal decoding module for encoding in the tracking component. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A system for receiving and transmitting identification information identifying a physical object, the system comprising:
-
an identification capture system to receive identification information encoded in a tracking component associated with a physical object and to transmit the identification information to the tracking component, the identification information identifying the physical object to which the tracking component is associated; a universal decoding module to receive the identification information from a data field from multiple data fields, the data field having one or more fields to store the identification information in a first format compatible with the data field fields, and to encode the first format into a predetermined second format used by the identification capture system; and a context-aware intelligence component to determine the data field from the multiple data fields to receive the identification information encoded in the second format from the identification capture system, and to decode the second format into the first format used by the one or more fields of the determined data field.
