Claim One:
1. A system for suggesting an identity of a drug within a drug container, the system comprising: an image capture circuit that captures an image of a portion of a label provided to the drug container; a non-transitory computer storage medium that stores a database comprising a plurality of drug entries and a plurality of features associated with each of the drug entries, wherein each of the plurality of features associated with each drug entry is suggestive of a drug identity corresponding to the drug entry but does not, alone, uniquely identify the drug identity; and a processor that evaluates content included in the image and identifies a candidate for the identity of the drug by evaluating each of the plurality of features included in the image and referencing the drug database, wherein the processor determines that an objective feature which, alone, is uniquely determinative of the identity of the drug is not present within the image by detecting an absence of a computer-readable barcode from the label provided to the drug container, and identifies the candidate in response to determining that the objective feature is not identifiable from the image.
