Computing systems and methods for electronically indicating the acceptability of a product
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of optically processing a product label implementable using an image capture and communication device, the method comprising:
- capturing, using a camera, first image data from a product label, wherein the product label comprises an environmental monitor having a first shape and an environmental monitor state, the first image data being captured from multiple angles using the camera;
receiving the first image data from the camera at a computer processor;
detecting, with the computer processor, the presence and position of the first shape from the first image data captured from multiple angles;
in response to detecting the presence and position of the first shape, processing with the computer processor the first image data captured from multiple angles to identify, based on the position of the first shape, a first subset of the first image data captured from multiple angles obtained with respect to the environmental monitor;
determining with the computer processor the environmental monitor state from the first subset of first image data captured from multiple angles; and
generating with the computer processor a product acceptability report based upon the determined monitor state.

Abstract
In part, the invention relates to computing systems and methods for electronically indicating the acceptability of a product. An image capture and communication device may analyze a product label that includes one or more monitors, authentication elements, and identification elements. The image capture and communication device may determine the type and features of the monitors, authentication elements, and identification elements. The image capture and communication device may transmit data based on the type and features to a host server, which may transmit data associated with the host product to the image capture and communication device in, inter alia, the form of an acceptability report.
