System and method for automating and verifying product value, usage, and suitability for use or sale
First Claim
1. A computer-based system for monitoring packaged products, the system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to process and manage data;
at least one communications device communicatively linked to the at least one processor; and
at least one packaging for one or more products, the packaging comprising a machine-readable medium, wherein the machine-readable medium comprises product information;
wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive the product information of the machine-readable medium, wherein the machine-readable medium and corresponding product information are adjustable based on at least one of a current or a past state of the at least one packaging, wherein the at least one communications device captures and stores an image of the machine-readable medium, and wherein the at least one communications device retrieves the product information from the image.

Abstract
A computer-based system for monitoring product usage, value, and suitability for use or sale. The system can include one or more processors configured to process and manage data. Additionally, the system can also include product packaging comprising a machine-readable medium. Notably, the machine-readable medium can comprise product information among other types of information. The one or more processors can be configured for receiving the product information of the machine-readable medium. The machine-readable medium and corresponding medication information can be adjusted based on automated signals or interactive signals, where the signals are generated based on current or historical data regarding the product or the packaging.
