Abstract:
1. A method for generating a first identifier having a plurality of characters and identifying an object, the method comprising: receiving first seed characters from an object generator, the first seed characters relating to an object; processing the first seed characters to generate a human-readable component and a non-readable component based on rules; applying the rules to determine a syntax of the first identifier; applying the rules to determine placement of the human-readable component relative to the non-readable component; and inserting the human-readable and non-readable components within the first identifier to thereby provide an identifier unique to the object, wherein processing the seed characters, applying the rules, and inserting the human-readable and non-readable components are performed by an identifier module, the identifier module being programmed to reproduce an additional identifier that is identical to the first identifier each time the identifier module uses the rules on additional seed characters that are identical to the first seed characters.
