Abstract
A system includes a memory storing computer-readable instructions and at least one processor to execute the instructions to receive from a client computing device a first unique identifier that was obtained by scanning a near field communication (NFC) tag associated with an item, receive from the client computing device a second unique identifier that was obtained by scanning a quick response (QR) code using an imaging device, compare the first unique identifier with the second unique identifier, and associate the item with a particular user account when the first unique identifier matches the second unique identifier.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor to execute the instructions to:
- receive from a client computing device a first unique identifier that was obtained by scanning a near field communication (NFC) tag associated with an item;
- receive from the client computing device a second unique identifier that was obtained by scanning a quick response (QR) code using an imaging device;
- compare the first unique identifier with the second unique identifier;
- and
- associate the item with a particular user account when the first unique identifier matches the second unique identifier.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by at least one processor, from a client computing device, a first unique identifier that was obtained by scanning a near field communication (NFC) tag associated with an item;
- receiving, by the at least one processor, from the client computing device, a second unique identifier that was obtained by scanning a quick response (QR) code using an imaging device;
- comparing, by the at least one processor, the first unique identifier with the second unique identifier;
- and
- associating, by the at least one processor, the item with a particular user account when the first unique identifier matches the second unique identifier.
A mobile computing device having at least one processor to:
- scan a near field communication (NFC) tag associated with an item to obtain a first unique identifier;
- use at least one imaging device to capture a quick response (QR) code to obtain a second unique identifier;
- transmit the first unique identifier and the second unique identifier to a server computing device;
- and
- transmit information associated with a particular user account to the server computing device to have the server computing device store an association between the particular user account and the item when the first unique identifier matches the second unique identifier.
