example 1

[0020] Example 1: Hospital Management

[0021] Hospitals manage patient information, patient care, hospital equipment and supplies, and patient insurance communications.

[0022] In the method of managing information according to the present invention, when patients are admitted to a hospital, they are assigned an XML tagged barcode containing information about their medical history, required hospital care and insurance. This information can then be passed on to the insurance company for periodic updates as required.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, individuals with medical insurance coverage at an insurance company can use the Internet to view and process patient information. During hospitalization, information about medications and hospital procedures can be added to the patient's record by scanning an XML tagged barcode and sending the information to the hospital's computer. Hospital computers can periodically contact drug suppliers, add inventory or e...

[0024] Example 2: Inventory Management

[0025] Computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing companies strive to deliver assembled products more quickly and efficiently. One impediment to the quick and efficient delivery of assembled products is that many of their products can be custom made. These custom products often require different components. It would be beneficial to accurately predict the delivery schedule of the different components and to be able to quickly detect any supplier problems.

[0026] As computer parts come off the assembly line, various suppliers can scan the XML-marked barcodes on their computer parts, and information about inventory, availability, specifications, and more can be immediately made available on the company's Web site. Computer manufacturers can have their computers periodically query the supplier database, preferably using the XML Linking Language (XLink) (as noted above, any suitable linking language can be used for this purpose). ...

[0027] Example 3: Information Distribution

[0028] Typically, national taxi companies monitor their vehicle inventory and all information associated with each vehicle. Typically, different departments within the rental car company obtain selected portions of this information and present it in a way that is effective for their department.

[0029] In one embodiment of the method according to the present invention, preferably a barcode affixed with a two-dimensional XML label can be established for each car, containing technical indicators, digital images, rental history, service history or other relevant information. Since information and presentation rules are different for XML, users can process information locally by entering information into their applications from a web browser. Other software applications can directly access this information.

Abstract

A method and system for scanning bar code data that can be published in near real time on Internet or intranet sites. The format is preferably XML-based, so the data is ready for e-commerce applications without further manipulation or conversion. The data can also be translated to more traditional bar code formats for backward compatibility with established barcode scanning practices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of data collection for use in logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, warehouse, education or any other business using barcodes. Background technique [0002] Existing barcode scanning involves discrete platforms for data collection and data processing prior to publication. However, even after publication, the data is often not in a form that is easily published on the Internet or used by e-commerce applications. [0003] Therefore, there is a need to convert barcode data into data that can be easily published on the Internet or used by electronic commerce applications. Contents of the invention [0004] The purpose of the present invention is to convert barcode data into data that can be easily published on the Internet or used by electronic commerce applications. [0005] A method and system for converting a barcode into a markup language file are provided, t...
