Abstract

One or more processors receives one or more first database records indicating a plurality of candidate identifiers are received by one or more processors. The one or more processors obtains one or more electronic images of the physical asset. At least one electronic image includes a graphical representation of data printed on the physical asset. The one or more processors identifies a plurality of regions of the data based on the one or more electronic images. The one or more processors determines a context of the physical asset based on the plurality of regions, selects the identifier from the plurality of candidate identifiers based on the plurality of regions, and generates a second database record including an indication of the context of the physical asset, and an indication of the identifier.

Claims60

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for electronically determining an identifier associated with a physical asset, the method being executed by one or more processors, and comprising:

receiving, by the one or more processors, one or more first database records indicating a plurality of candidate identifiers;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, one or more electronic images of the physical asset, wherein at least one electronic image comprises a graphical representation of data printed on the physical asset;
identifying, by the one or more processors based on the one or more electronic images, a plurality of regions of the data, the plurality of regions comprising one or more of:
a first region containing graphically encoded data, and
a second region containing textual data;
determining, by the one or more processors, a context of the physical asset based on the plurality of regions;
selecting, by the one or more processors, the identifier from the plurality of candidate identifiers based on the plurality of regions;
and
generating, by the one more processors, a second database record comprising:
an indication of the context of the physical asset, and
an indication of the identifier.

8 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:

receiving, by the one or more processors, one or more first database records indicating a plurality of candidate identifiers;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, one or more electronic images of the physical asset, wherein at least one electronic image comprises a graphical representation of data printed on the physical asset;
identifying, by the one or more processors based on the one or more electronic images, a plurality of regions of the data, the plurality of regions comprising one or more of:
a first region containing graphically encoded data, and
a second region containing textual data;
determining, by the one or more processors, a context of the physical asset based on the plurality of regions;
selecting, by the one or more processors, the identifier from the plurality of candidate identifiers based on the plurality of regions;
and
generating, by the one more processors, a second database record comprising:
an indication of the context of the physical asset, and
an indication of the identifier.

8 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes:
non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
receiving, by the one or more processors, one or more first database records indicating a plurality of candidate identifiers;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, one or more electronic images of the physical asset, wherein at least one electronic image comprises a graphical representation of data printed on the physical asset;
identifying, by the one or more processors based on the one or more electronic images, a plurality of regions of the data, the plurality of regions comprising one or more of:
a first region containing graphically encoded data, and
a second region containing textual data;
determining, by the one or more processors, a context of the physical asset based on the plurality of regions;
selecting, by the one or more processors, the identifier from the plurality of candidate identifiers based on the plurality of regions;
and
generating, by the one more processors, a second database record comprising:
an indication of the context of the physical asset, and
an indication of the identifier.
