Method and system for identifying objects of service

摘要

A method and system and related computer program products are described for identifying an object of service comprising the initial step of generating and storing a static composite identifier representing a state of the object of service. Then, whenever it is desired to identify the object of service, the steps are carried out of: generating a dynamic composite identifier representing a current state of the object of service; locating and retrieving the stored static composite identifier, and searching a database for a match with an object of service recorded therein using either the static or the dynamic composite identifiers, or both.

1. A method for identifying an object of service, comprising:
generating and storing a static composite identifier representing a first set of values associated with the object of service at a first time, the static composite identifier to remain constant during a lifetime of the static composite identifier; and, whenever it is desired to identify the object of service:
generating, with a processor, a dynamic composite identifier representing a second set of values associated with the object of service at a second time later than the first time;locating the stored static composite identifier; andtransmitting the static composite identifier and the dynamic composite identifier to a server for use in searching a database for a global identifier corresponding to the object of service.
