Abstract:
1. A label for labeling an item and enhancing information security during an item transfer from an item labeler and an item receiver, said label comprising: a first machine-readable composite symbology encodation reflecting at least a first item specific designation for said item and containing a combined first 1D encodation portion and a second 2D encodation portion; a first human-readable identifier proximate said first machine-readable composite symbology encodation enumerating in human-readable characters said item specific designation encoded by said first composite symbology encodation; a first human-readable identifier identifying a content-description of said item during said transfer; a second human-readable identifier identifying an origin-description of said item during said transfer; a third 2D encodation portion of a second machine-readable composite symbology encodation on said label positioned distal from said first machine-readable composite encodation; said third 2D encodation portion of said second machine-readable composite symbology encodation reflecting a second item specific designation; and said third 2D encodation portion including an encodation requirement for a joint machine-reading of a missing 1D encodation portion held by said item receiver and linked with said third 2D encodation portion for a successful machine-reading; thereby enabling said item receiver to scan said first machine-readable composite symbology encodation to determine said first item specific designation and thereafter require said item receiver to join said third 2D and said missing 1D encodation portions for a successful machine-reading to determine said second item specific designation.
