The disclosure provides a graphical identifier scanning method and device. The method includes: receiving an information acquisition request sent by a client, the information acquisition request including an identity of a graphical identifier; acquiring an information list corresponding to the identity of the graphical identifier, the information list storing mapping relationships between at least two pieces of information and different parameter values based of a preset parameter type; acquiring a current parameter value when receiving the information acquisition request, and determining current information corresponding to the current parameter value using the information list; and sending the current information to the client. The method and the device disclosed in the disclosure can rapidly achieve the purpose of using a graphical identifier set at a fixed location to indicate different information.

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for biological inventory tracking using cloud services and mobile devices. According to one method, information is input from a mobile device about a specimen sample. The information includes an image of the specimen sample captured using the mobile device including an identifying indicia. The information is uploaded and stored in an encrypted format accessible to authorized and verified users. At least one characteristic of the specimen sample is determined based on the information. Tracking and status information, as well as notifications or reminders, regarding the specimen sample are provided in real-time or near real-time to the mobile device.

An example computing device can include a processing resource and a memory resource storing instructions thereon, the instructions executable by the processing resource to: extract job information associated with a physical device from a database, compress the job information associated with the physical device; generate a machine-readable optical code that includes the compressed job information associated with the physical device, and update the machine-readable optical code with additional job information associated with the physical device.

A label processing engine receives, as inputs, raw data representative of a label and baseline data, detects a raw data object within the raw data, classifies the raw data object, and localizes the raw data object within the raw data, detects a baseline data object within the baseline data, classifies the baseline data object, and localizes the baseline data object within the baseline data. The engine recognizes corresponding text within the raw data object and the baseline data object and extracts the corresponding text within the raw data object and the baseline data object, reassembles the corresponding text of the raw data object and the baseline data object into respective lines of text, compares the respective lines of text with one another, and issues a notification based on the comparison.

A technique for identifying individual instances of electronic devices. This is done by using a basic RFID reader to read the RF emissions from the electronic device to obtain an emitted electromagnetic spectrum and compare it to a library of emitted electromagnetic spectrums of different instances of that type of electronic device and, based on that comparison, finding a best match and identifying the electronic device as being a particular instance of that type of electronic device. This comparison may be made by computing Euclidean distances between vectors that are based on the measured electromagnetic spectrums.

A computer-implemented method for digitization of papercraft folding for creation of a papercraft model may include monitoring, via an RFID reader, a sheet provided with an array of RFID tags. Based on the RFID reader output, the occurrence of a fold performed on the sheet is determined. The method further includes determining fold properties of the occurred fold and storing the fold properties as a fold dataset of the occurred fold.

An apparatus for an Internet of Things device registry display includes a user input processing circuit structured to interpret one or more user input command values, an Internet of Things Universal Identification (IoT UID) identification circuit structured to determine one or more IoT UIDs, based at least in part on the one or more user input command values, a device lookup circuit structured to: generate a query that includes the one or more IoT UIDs, and retrieve device property data corresponding to the one or more IoT UIDs, a query provisioning circuit structured to transmit the query to an IoT device registrar server, a device property processing circuit structured to interpret the device property data generated by the IoT device registrar server in response to the query, and a display circuit structured to display the device property data with the corresponding one or more IoT UIDs.

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for learning a narrative of a document, and an apparatus and method for generating a narrative of a document. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the narrative learning method includes the steps of receiving a plurality of documents, generating a topic database which includes one or more topics and words related to each of the one or more topics from the plurality of documents, splitting each of the plurality of documents into one or more segments including one or more sentences by using the topic database, grouping the segments split from each of the plurality of documents into one or more clusters, and generating a cluster label for each of the one or more clusters.

Method of generating customizable avatar outfits and accessories starts with a processor receiving a first identification information associated with a first article of clothing for sale on a first third-party server. The processor generates an outfit update interface comprising an avatar associated with a user of a client device and a first selectable item corresponding to the first article of clothing. The processor receives a selection from the client device of the first selectable item. The processor modifies the avatar to generate a modified avatar that is wearing an avatar outfit that comprises a first item that resembles the first article of clothing. The processor then causes the modified avatar to be displayed on a display screen of the client device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method and a system for collecting and processing of life cycle information about a switch cabinet (1) of an industrial plant, with a documentation server (2) for linking data sheet information (A) of the built-in modules (9a-9c) installed in the switch cabinet (1) on the basis of the planned construction (4) with function information (B) about their use in the context of the switch cabinet equipment, in order to store this information in a central archive database (3) under an individual switch cabinet identification (8) in data records, wherein test and acceptance information (C) of the switch cabinet (1) is added to the data records of the central archive database (3) via the documentation server (2).
