Computing systems and methods for electronically indicating the acceptability of a product
First Claim
1. An apparatus for processing a product provided with a product label, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory; and
a processor in communication with the memory; and
a camera in communication with the processor and the memory, wherein the memory comprises instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to;
capture 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;
receive the first image data from the camera;
detect 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, process 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 from the environmental monitor;
determine the environmental monitor state from the first subset of the first image data captured from multiple angles; and
generate 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.
