SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTEXTUALIZING DATA OBTAINED FROM BARCODE IMAGES

摘要

A method for contextualizing barcode content data includes a mobile device 110 obtaining images containing one or more barcodes 136, 137, 138, decoding at least one of the barcodes to determine its content, determining a metric magnitude quantifying a measurable relationship between at least one decoded barcode and the imaging device 117, comparing the metric magnitude to a predetermined condition, if the predetermined condition is satisfied, then accessing a respective barcode specific information data record based on respective barcode content, and providing at least one of contextual information and contextual instruction to the mobile computing device 110, via one or more forms of multi-modal communication (e.g., visual display, audio notification, tactile stimulus, etc.). Determining a distance between at least two barcodes in the image, and displaying a message based on the distance. A system 100 configured to implement the method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for a processor to perform the method are also disclosed.
