Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to systems and methods for validating RFID tag data prior to encoding the data onto an RFID tag, utilizing at least one computing device separate from an RFID encoder. An embodiment of the present invention describes a method of receiving RFID tag data at a computing device, validating that data in compliance with an RFID format, such as the EPC Global standard, and sending the validated data to an RFID encoder. An alternative embodiment provides a method for receiving RFID tag data at a computing device configured for verifying the data, and if the data is not valid, returning an informative error message to a user indicating the component of the data that was invalid and how the error can be corrected. A further embodiment provides a method for allowing a user to correct the RFID tag data and re-validate the data.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods of converting data used for shipment rate calculations into executable code. More specifically, certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods of converting data used for shipment rate calculations into executable code by scanning the data from at least one source file, parsing the data in accordance with a template, and generating the executable code by utilizing the parsed data. As a result, the code may be executed to provide the data used for shipment rate calculations without having to access the original source file. In addition, compiling such data into executable code may improve look-up performance, may provide encapsulation of logic related to the specific nature of the data, and may provide a mechanism by which the raw data is not overtly exposed to end users of the software and third-parties.
