Abstract
In examples, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores executable code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive a semiconductor package image, the image including semiconductor package surface codes, the codes including a semiconductor package identifier. The executable code causes the processor to transmit at least one of the semiconductor package identifier, the codes, or the image. The executable code causes the processor to receive information associated with the semiconductor package identifier. The executable code causes the processor to output the information via at least one of a display coupled to the processor, a speaker coupled to the processor, or the wireless transceiver.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- an optical sensor configured to receive a semiconductor package image, the image including semiconductor package surface codes;
- a display;
- a wireless transceiver;
- storage configured to store semiconductor package identifiers;
- and
- a processor coupled to the optical sensor, to the display, to the wireless transceiver, and to the storage, the processor configured to:
- receive the image from the optical sensor;
- perform optical character recognition (OCR) to identify the codes in the image;
- compare each code in the codes to the semiconductor package identifiers to identify a matching semiconductor package identifier;
- transmit the matching semiconductor package identifier via the wireless transceiver;
- receive semiconductor package information via the wireless transceiver after transmitting the matching semiconductor package identifier;
- and
- provide the semiconductor package information to the display;
- wherein the display is configured to display the semiconductor package information.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- receive a semiconductor package image, the image including semiconductor package surface codes, the codes including a semiconductor package identifier;
- transmit at least one of the semiconductor package identifier, the codes, or the image;
- receive information associated with the semiconductor package identifier;
- and
- output the information via at least one of a display coupled to the processor, a speaker coupled to the processor, or the wireless transceiver.
A method, comprising:
- receiving data by an electronic device via a network, the data including at least one of a semiconductor package image, semiconductor package surface codes, a semiconductor package identifier from the codes, or a manufacturing lot number from the codes;
- receiving, by the electronic device, a security key;
- using, by the electronic device, the data to obtain semiconductor package information from a database;
- and
- transmitting, by the electronic device, the information via the network in response to a verification of the security key.
