Methods and systems for automatically programming an RFID tag using machine readable indicia. A dual mode device performs a bar code scan of a bar coded label. Information obtained from the bar code scan is stored. This information may be used to query a database indexed by the bar code information that contains detailed product information. The bar code information as well as the detailed information may be transmitted in an RF signal by the dual mode device to an RFID tag to be stored in a memory structure in the tag. The dual mode device may perform a read operation on the tag after the write operation to confirm that the data was successfully stored and provide an indication thereof. The indication may be a visual indication, a textual indication, an audible indication or combinations of these.

A library manager holds related program fragments, for example, control logic fragments and visualization program fragments sharing the same control variables, in library files. Multiple copies of control logic program fragments are instantiated to develop a control program and of the control variable tags for each copy of the control logic program fragments are renamed to prevent conflicts. At a later time, visualization program fragments related to the control logic program fragments are identified by their common origin in the library manger. The control variables of these visual program fragments may then be automatically renamed by using their library files as a guide. The library files may also hold related non-program information.

The present invention relates to multi-application, secure operating systems for small, secure devices, such as smart card microcontrollers. In particular, the present invention relates to mechanisms for secure runtime upload of applications onto small devices, authorisation mechanisms and the ability for authorised execution of multiple applications on the devices, where an application may be potentially larger than the microcontroller memory size. The mechanism simplifies life-cycle smart card management aspects related to post-issuance application (“applet”) upload and upgrade. Mechanisms to prepare applications (i.e. compiler techniques) using a common set of project files in one compiler toolset, for execution in a dual host & chip processor environment are described. These help automising the programming of the communication interfaces between the host and chip applications. An important motivation for the present invention is to provide a secure co-processor environment for general computer applications in order to counter software piracy, and to allow new models for secure electronic software distribution and software licensing.

A system and method may employ, focused grammars to facilitate automated generation of computer programs. Such implementation of focused grammars enables a new form of symbolic regression referred to as generative programming or automated programming. The search through the space of possible programs may be guided by a streak search method in accordance with which identified candidate programs that improve on the current streak may be used to create focused grammars for directing an additional localized search. In some embodiments, candidate programs are generated by randomly traversing focused grammars from the starting rule, and subsequently through the grammars, until a complete candidate program parse tree has been constructed. Candidate programs may then be executed, for example, by an evaluator, which may employ an interpreter adapted for use in conjunction with a Stack Manipulation Language or other interpreted language.
