Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for facilitating the removal of a security tag from an article includes the step of generating a visual template indicating a preferred position of a security tag and an article identification element within a viewing screen of an imaging device. With the imaging device, capturing at least one image of the security tag, the article identification element and the article, and processing the at least one image to determine whether or not the security tag and the article identification element are attached to the same article. Upon determining that the security tag and the article identification element are attached to the same article, storing in a database an identifier of the security tag, an identifier of the article, and an indication of their association with the same article.
