Abstract
An asset verification system, comprising: a reader comprising magnifying optics configured with an effective magnification for both sufficiently separating dots in a tag in the body of the asset and viewing the tag at an effective magnification greater than 10x, reflective optics for conveying an image of the tag through the reader; and, a multi-function hardware device comprising an optical sensor for reading the tag of the asset projected to the optical sensor by the reader, wherein the multi-function hardware device is at least one of a tablet, smartphone and a laptop computer.
Claims25
An asset verification system, comprising:
- a reader comprising
- magnifying optics configured with an effective magnification for both sufficiently separating dots in a tag in the body of the asset and viewing the tag at an effective magnification greater than 10×,
- reflective optics for conveying an image of the tag through the reader;
- and,
- a multi-function hardware device comprising an optical sensor for reading the tag of the asset projected to the optical sensor by the reader, wherein the multi-function hardware device is at least one of a tablet, smartphone and a laptop computer.
A method for using an asset verification system, comprising:
- lighting the asset to cause forward scatter of light through a tag disposed in the body of the asset;
- magnifying the tag in the asset using magnifying optics;
- reflecting an image of the tag to an eyepiece, using reflective optics;
- reading the tag using an optical system of a multi-function hardware device, wherein the multi-function hardware device is at least one of a tablet, smartphone and a laptop computer;
- and,
- processing the tag read by the multi-function hardware.
