US 10,372,958 B2 · In-field data acquisition and formatting

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for acquiring field device data (e.g., imaging data such as barcode readings), extracting patterns from the field device data, and formatting the extracted patterns—all directly from field devices (e.g., barcode readers) embedded with these capabilities. The information conveyed by the patterns extracted at the devices embedded with these capabilities may be synthesized and shown in a graphical way to end-users, for instance, by exploiting IoT middleware platform services available at end-user side. Accordingly, systems, methods and computer-readable storage media in accordance with embodiments hereof further provide a customized visualization (e.g., a widget) aimed to make the formatted patterns available in an easy, intuitive and effective way.

Dependent claims

A method being performed by one or more computing devices including at least one processor, the method for on-field data acquisition and formatting, and comprising:

acquiring, at a field device, field device data;
extracting, at the field device, at least one pattern from the field device data by
(1) measuring at least one attribute pattern from the field device data;
(2) comparing the measured at least one attribute pattern to training data patterns;
and
(3) based on the comparing, classifying the measured at least one attribute pattern as a predefined class-attribute pattern;
and
formatting, at the field device, the at least one pattern to create at least one formatted pattern that is capable of being transmitted over a local network.
