A method and system for reading machine-readable label devices and searching resources bases responsive to the context in which the reading took place, provides versatility and intelligence that insures users will obtain real value from their use. For example, the system may be used to obtain information about a product fitted with a transponder. The system goes beyond monolithic information-gathering and transaction automation by exploiting context information and flexible search engine technology and by using natural language parsing to make searching, creation, and maintenance of resource bases more economical. |
