1. A method for providing an indication relevant to shelf life of a product, said method to be implemented by a warning tag disposed on the product, said method comprising:
(A) accessing time data associated with end of the shelf life of the product, and a current time; (B) making a first determination as to whether the current time corresponds to or has exceeded the end of the shelf life of the product; (C) configuring the warning tag to generate the indication in a first mode when a result of the first determination is affirmative; (D) when the result of the first determination is negative, making a second determination as to whether the current time corresponds to an about-to-end time which approaches but does not exceed the end of the shelf life of the product; and (E) configuring the warning tag to generate the indication in a second mode when a result of the second determination is affirmative. |
