Multi-Modal Physical Object Analysis System with Portable Testing Apparatus and Coordinated Software Processing

A system comprising:

• a portable physical testing apparatus;
• and
• a computing device executing a software application;
• wherein the portable physical testing apparatus comprises:
• a mass measurement module configured to generate mass data associated with an object placed thereon;
• a magnetic interaction module configured to generate magnetic response data associated with the object;
• and
• a dimensional interaction module configured to generate dimensional data associated with the object;
• wherein the magnetic interaction module comprises a first magnetic element arranged to detect ferromagnetic interaction with the object and a second magnetic element arranged to move relative to the object in response to electromagnetic interaction with the object;
• wherein the computing device comprises a microphone configured to capture an acoustic response of the object and generate acoustic data associated with the object;
• wherein the computing device is communicatively coupled to the portable physical testing apparatus to receive at least the mass data and the magnetic response data;
• and
• wherein the software application is configured to process the mass data, the magnetic response data, the dimensional data, and the acoustic data in association with a reference dataset stored in a memory.
