Scanner notifications

摘要

A scanner notification indicates an operational status of the scanner, such as a hand-held scanner used at a point-of-sale or as part of an inventory-tracking system. Among other things, a notification might indicate to a user that a product identifier has been verified, product tracking is occurring, a tag is being deactivated, successful completion of scanning functions, and various other operational states of the scanner.

1. Computer storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing device, perform operations for presenting tag-scanner notifications comprising: receiving a product identifier obtained by a scan of a product code; determining that the product identifier is verified by looking the product identifier up in a product-identifier datastore; presenting a verified-product notification indicating that the product identifier is verified; determining that the product identifier is associated with a product-tracking device by searching information associated with the product identifier; executing tracking-update operations comprising: presenting a tracking-pending notification; wirelessly reading tracking information that is stored by the product-tracking device and that is sent to a tracking controller; and updating a status of the product to reflect the tracking information; determining whether the product identifier is associated with a security device by searching information associated with the product identifier; if the security device is not associated with the product identifier, presenting a successful-scan notification; and if the security device is associated with the product identifier executing operations comprising: presenting a deactivation-pending notification; determining whether the security device is successfully deactivated; if the security device is successfully deactivated, presenting the successful-scan notification, and if the security device is not successfully deactivated, presenting a failed-deactivation notification.
