Managing a plurality of tag reader devices

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive, from a tag reader device of a plurality of tag readers, information associated with a scan of a tag,
• wherein the device is in communication with the plurality of tag readers,
• wherein each of the plurality of tag readers is configured to read a different type of tag;
• determine, based on the information associated with the scan of the tag, a tag reader type associated with the tag reader device,
• wherein the plurality of tag readers is associated with a corresponding plurality of tag reader types,
• wherein the plurality of tag reader types include at least two of:
• a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag reader type,
• a barcode tag reader type,
• a Bluetooth tag reader type,
• a near-field communication (NFC) tag reader type, or
• a RuBee tag reader type;
• identify a parser associated with the tag reader type associated with the tag reader device,
• wherein the device includes a plurality of parsers associated with the plurality of tag reader types, and
• wherein each of the plurality of tag reader types is associated with a different parser of the plurality of parsers;
• determine, using the parser, a tag identifier based on the information associated with the scan of the tag;
• determine whether the tag identifier is valid;
• transmit, to a server and based on determining that the tag identifier is valid, the information associated with the scan of the tag;
• determine, based on determining that information identifying the tag identifier is stored in a first data store on the server, that the information identifying the tag identifier is not stored in a second data store of the device;
• obtain, based on determining the information identifying the tag identifier is not stored in the second data store of the device, the information identifying the tag identifier from the first data store on the server;
• and
• store, based on obtaining the information identifying the tag identifier from the first data store on the server, the information identifying the tag identifier in the second data store of the device.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a device and from a tag reader device of a plurality of tag readers, information associated with a scan of a tag,
• wherein the device is in communication with the plurality of tag readers,
• wherein each of the plurality of tag readers is configured to read a different type of tag;
• determining, by the device and based on the information associated with the scan of the tag, a tag reader type associated with the tag reader device,
• wherein the plurality of tag readers is associated with a corresponding plurality of tag reader types,
• wherein the plurality of tag reader types include at least two of:
• a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag reader type,
• a barcode tag reader type,
• a Bluetooth tag reader type,
• a near-field communication (NFC) tag reader type, or
• a RuBee tag reader type;
• identifying, by the device, a parser included in the device,
• wherein the device includes a plurality of parsers associated with the plurality of tag reader types, and
• wherein each of the plurality of tag reader types is associated with a different parser of the plurality of parsers;
• determining, by the device and using the parser, a tag identifier based on the information associated with the scan of the tag;
• determining by the device and based on determining the tag identifier, whether information identifying the tag identifier is included in a data store accessible by the device;
• determining, by the device, that the tag identifier is valid based on determining that the information identifying the tag identifier is included in the data store accessible by the device;
• transmitting, by the device and based on determining that the tag identifier is valid, the information associated with the scan of the tag to a server to permit the server to analyze the information associated with the scan of the tag;
• transmitting, by the device, to a camera and based on determining that the tag identifier is valid, an instruction to capture at least one of:
• a video associated with the tag reader device, or
• an image associated with the tag reader device;
• receiving, by the device and based on transmitting the instruction, an electronic file including the video or the image;
• and
• transmitting, by the device and based on receiving the electronic file, the electronic file to the server.
