System and method for improved media identification in a storage device
First Claim
1. A computer-implementable method, comprising:
- generating a subset of identifierswherein the generating includes matching data regarding a portion of an identifier for a removable data storage item with a set of known identifiers;
determining at least one closest match of the subset of identifiers and the portion of the identifier; and
updating an index entry for the at least one closest match of the subset of identifiers with a location of the removable storage item.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for improved identification of removable storage media. A scanner may be used to read an identifier, such as a barcode, on a removable storage media. In the event that the scanner reads the identifier incorrectly due to a defect in the barcode, such as a damaged label, misaligned identifier, or because the scanner is incapable of reading the identifier type or the scanner'"'"'s field of view is incorrect, a media management component receives the scanned identifier data and matches it to a known set of media identifiers to create a subset of matching identifier data. A closest matching media identifier may be identified from the subset of matching identifier data. An index may be updated with information indicating the closest matching media identifier and a location of the removable storage media.

3. A computer-implementable method, comprising:
-
identify a closest match between a subset of identifiers and a received portion of an identifier wherein the identifying includes comparing data for a received portion of an identifier for a removable data storage item with a set of known identifiers; and updating an index entry for the closest match of the subset of identifiers with a location of the removable storage item. - View Dependent Claims (4)

5. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for execution by at least one data processing device, comprising:
-
matching received data for a portion of an identifier of a unit of removable data storage media to a set of known media identifiers, wherein the matching includes at least one of pattern matching, order matching, length matching, character type matching, or sum matching; and
,identifying at least one closest match among a subset of known media identifiers to the received data. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
