System for identifying contents of closed containers using RFID tags

摘要

A system and method is provided which allows for instant recognition of contents of a closed container by providing descriptive information in the form of a picture, and/or an audio description, and/or text of the contents of the closed container taken at the time of packing the container. The system keeps track of the contents of an individual container by storing information describing the contents of the container that is then related to a unique identification number stored in a radio frequency identification tag affixed to the container. This information is then stored in a digital database for later reference.
