Abstract
A quality management system for products including a multiplicity of barcode indicators, each operative to provide a machine-readable indication of exceedance of at least one threshold by at least one product quality determining parameter, the at least one threshold being at least one of a time duration threshold and a combined temperature and time threshold, a barcode indicator reader operative to read the barcode indicators and to provide output indications and an indication interpreter operative to receive the output indications and to provide human sensible, product unit specific, product quality status outputs.
Claims5
A system for communicating product information comprising:
- a multiplicity of barcode indicators;
- a mobile communicator including image capture functionality operative to capture an image of at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators and to transmit said image of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators;
- and
- a server comprising:
- an indication interpreter operative to receive said image of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators and to provide an interpretation of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators;
- caller ID functionality operative to:
- provide an identification of a caller using said mobile communicator;
- provide a classification of said caller using said mobile communicator based on said identification of said mobile communicator;
- and
- human sensible output selection functionality operative to:
- select at least one suitable human sensible output based on said interpretation of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators and said classification of said caller using said mobile communicator;
- and
- provide said at least one suitable human sensible output to said mobile communicator.
A method for communicating product information comprising:
- employing a multiplicity of barcode indicators;
- capturing an image of at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators, using a mobile communicator including image capture functionality;
- communicating said image of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators from said mobile communicator to a server, said server including caller ID functionality;
- interpreting said image of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators to provide an interpretation of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators;
- providing an identification of a caller using said mobile communicator utilizing said caller ID functionality;
- providing a classification of said caller using said mobile communicator based on said identification of said mobile communicator;
- selecting at least one suitable human sensible output based on said interpretation of said at least one of said multiplicity of barcode indicators and said classification of said caller using said mobile communicator;
- and
- providing said at least one suitable human sensible output to said mobile communicator.
