Systems and Methods to Identify Cargo - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296666 titled 'Systems and Methods to Identify Cargo

The abstract describes a system designed to identify cargo using sensors that detect various aspects of the cargo. A computing device processes signals from the sensors to determine an initial identity of the cargo. If the initial identities from different sensors are consistent, the computing device identifies the cargo accordingly. In cases where the initial identities are inconsistent, the computing device adopts a different approach to identify the cargo.

  • Sensors detect different aspects of the cargo
  • Computing device processes signals from sensors to determine initial identity of the cargo
  • Consistent initial identities from different sensors lead to accurate cargo identification
  • Inconsistent initial identities trigger a different identification approach
    • Potential Applications:**

- Logistics and supply chain management - Border security and customs - Warehouse management

    • Problems Solved:**

- Efficient cargo identification - Reduction of errors in cargo tracking - Enhanced security measures

    • Benefits:**

- Improved accuracy in cargo identification - Streamlined cargo handling processes - Enhanced security and tracking capabilities

    • Commercial Applications:**

Title: Enhanced Cargo Identification System for Logistics and Security Applications This technology can be utilized in various industries such as logistics, transportation, and security to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance security measures.

    • Questions about the Technology:**

1. How does this system improve cargo tracking and security measures?

  - This system enhances cargo identification accuracy and streamlines processes, leading to improved security and tracking capabilities.

2. What are the potential applications of this technology in different industries?

  - This technology can be applied in logistics, transportation, and security sectors to optimize operations and enhance security measures.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system to identify cargo. the system includes sensors that detect different aspects of the cargo. a computing device receives signals from the sensors indicative of the sensed aspects. the computing device determines an initial identity of the cargo based on the signals from the sensors. when the initial identities are consistent between the different sensors, the computing device identifies the cargo as the initial identify. when the initial identities are inconsistent, the computing device identifies the cargo in a different manner.
