Abstract: A method is devised whereby a retailer may upgrade his operation by providing his suppliers (the vendors) with labeling standards including RFID and RSS bar code, guidelines for formatting and including in those labels additional supply chain logistical information, additional information including the item number, lot and expiration dates, the time and place of manufacture, descriptions in greater depth then was hitherto possible about the goods themselves, and a method of capturing that information and feeding it into the retailer's information management systems through customized forms and middleware. The retailer uses the services of an information management corporation that sets up this program with the retailer's suppliers, thereby eliminating the associated costs of augmenting his own systems. The retailer, vendors and customers profit by that additional information through various means of feedback, and extracting that information in useful ways that provide for greater inventory control, consumer safety, more efficient movement of merchandize, information about product content to the consumer, security, supply chain logistics, compliance with government regulations for the sale of retail goods, the bio-terrorism act as well as other government regulations and systems of pricing, rebates, coupons and returns by the customers.

Abstract: Bar code information is printed on a printable surface associated with a product, such as a label or container of the product, or the product itself, during a production run under the control of a printer computer. The bar code information may include two components of a composite bar code symbol, where the first component is either pre-printed or printed during a production run, and the second component is printed during the production run. The first component may identify a product that is carried in the containers, while the second component identifies a lot, batch, expiration date or commodity number. In another aspect, check data is used to confirm the accuracy of information that is used by a printer computer to control a printer. In another aspect, first and second bar code symbols portions are read to recover information, and a database is accessed to determine if the recovered information is consistent.

Abstract: An optically variable device (OVD) is provided that includes a barcode rendered from a three-dimensional barcode. To increase the readability of the barcode rendered in the OVD, the bars of the three-dimensional barcode may have tapered sidewalls and depths that are small compared to their heights and widths. The barcode may be rendered in the OVD such that it is viewable only at certain angles or using certain wavelengths of light. Also provided is a barcode of multiple portions where a portion is rendered in an OVD and another portion is otherwise provided (e.g., printed). Such a barcode may have portions that are readable as independent barcodes and are also readable together as a single, compound barcode. Also provided is a method where a plurality of OVDs with unique images are associated with products, e.g., packaged together, so that receipt of a package of products with non-unique images indicates counterfeiting.

Abstract: A system and method is provided that includes generating a combined bar code symbol and image that is readable by a bar code scanner device. The system comprises a computer program that provides an image and a bar code symbol and combines the bar code symbol with the image such that the bar code symbol is readable by the bar code scanner device. The system processes the image and bar code symbol by comparing the properties corresponding to the image, the bar code symbol (e.g., color values), and properties corresponding to the bar code scanner sensitivity values associated with the bar code scanner device. The processed bar code symbol that is combined with the processed image is readable by the bar code scanner device.

Abstract: To alert parties to an alteration to a bar code (20) or a corresponding digital image (18), for example a digital photograph which the bar code (20) partially overlaps, the bar code (20) includes information about the digital image (18). The bar code (20) partially overlaps and is integrated into the image (18). The bar code (20) and the part thereof in the image (18) are compared for required identity. By providing such an alert, the present invention makes it very difficult to alter, for example, an identification card, an use it for unauthorized purposes.

Abstract: A system and method is provided that includes verifying that a computer system generates an output file that conforms to a model output file comprising one or more expected output results. The system and method comprises generating one or more first output results by applying one or more input parameters to a first computer system. It is then verified whether the one or more first output results match the one or more expected results. Upon verification, one or more second output results are then generated by applying the input parameters to a second computer system. The one or more first output results are then verified by electronically comparing them with the one or more second output results. It is verified that the computer system generates an output file that conforms to the model output file and generates a desired result.
