    Abstract: Because not all companies register or obtain barcodes (or other encodings or identifiers) from a single, consistent source, and because different companies can be associated with the same barcode at different times, there can be multiple products associated with a specific barcode. If a user requests information associated with a specific barcode, information associated with the user or request can be used to attempt to determine the associated product if more than one matching product is uncovered. In some embodiments, a location of a user device at approximately a time of the request can be used to attempt to determine the appropriate product, such as if the user is in a store that only offers one of the potential products. Other information can be used as well, such as past locations, purchase history, viewing patterns, and the like.
