Network-Based Verification Systems and Methods

Abstract

Verification systems for testing food products or other samples include a mobile analytical device, a mobile accessory device such as a smart phone, and a remote, e.g., cloud-based, computing system. The mobile analytical device is adapted to generate a sensor output that is characteristic of the sample. The mobile accessory device may be adapted to receive the sensor output from the mobile analytical device. The remote computing system may be adapted to analyze analytical data using artificial intelligence (AI) and/or machine learning (M-L) to make an authentication determination of the sensor output relative to a. predefined product database. The mobile accessory device may be adapted to upload the sensor output to the remote computing system by a communication network, and the remote computing system may be adapted to download the authentication determination to the mobile accessory device by the communication network.
