Indentifier eligibility

摘要

In various disclosed examples, an identifier is selected from a first set of identifiers, the selected identifier having a representation of at least two different characters. An indication of a difference between the representation of the selected identifier and representations of one or more identifiers from a second set of identifiers is calculated, and the selected identifier is determined to be an eligible identifier if the indication of the difference satisfies a threshold criteria.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and a memory device including computer program code, the memory device and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
select an identifier from a first set of identifiers, the selected identifier having a representation of at least two different characters, the first set of identifiers including candidate identifiers for mass serialization;calculate an indication of a difference between the representation of the selected identifier and representations of one or more identifiers from a second set of identifiers; anddetermine that the selected identifier is an eligible identifier for the mass serialization if the indication of the difference satisfies a threshold criteria,wherein the indication of the difference is a Hamming distance between the representation of the selected identifier and representations of one or more identifiers from a second set of identifiers, andwherein the Hamming distance satisfies the threshold criteria when the Hamming distance is greater than an error correction threshold associated with the second set of identifiers.
