Abstract

A method of maintaining a status of a product is provided in which indicating data is generated at a sensing device from data encoded by a tag of a plurality of tags tiled across the product through interaction of the sensing device with the tag at any orientation of the product, and the indicating data is transferred to a computer system to cause updating of a status of the product stored by the computer system. The encoded data of each tag used to generate the indicating data includes an identity of the product and an identity of a region of the product on which that tag is tiled. The status of the product is updated in accordance with the product and region identities of the indicating data.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of maintaining a status of a product, the method comprising the steps of:
 generating, at a sensing device, indicating data from data encoded by a tag of a plurality of tags tiled across the product through interaction of the sensing device with the tag at any orientation of the product, the encoded data of each tag used to generate the indicating data including an identity of the product and an identity of a region of the product on which that tag is tiled; and   transferring the indicating data to a computer system to cause updating of a status of the product stored by the computer system in accordance with the product and region identities of the indicating data.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the indicating data is generated to be indicative of a status mode selected with the sensing device. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the status mode is selected by at least one of using an input of the sensing device and sensing one or more tags on the product. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least part of the status represents an inventory. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least part of the status represents a shopping list. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each tag is indicative of an EPC associated with the product.
