Introduction

Christopher Farmer is an inventor associated with Augusta, South Carolina, and O&M Halyard, Inc. His patent work addresses how information extracted from machine-readable codes can be parsed and organized for use by computing systems.

Latest Patents

Farmer is associated with 1 patent: “Optimizing Non-Sequential Parsing of Information Extracted from Machine-Readable Codes.” The invention describes receiving object information through an application programming interface from a requesting computing device. The information may be extracted from a machine-readable code associated with an object or derived from information extracted from that code.

The system applies multiple regular expressions to the object information to identify values for fields. Each regular expression is configured to identify values for at least one field, allowing the information to be parsed without relying on a fixed sequence. For each identified value, the system creates a data object containing the value and information indicating its corresponding field.

Career Highlights

Farmer’s listed patent focuses on improving the processing of information obtained from machine-readable codes. Its non-sequential parsing approach is designed to identify field values even when the information does not appear in a predetermined order. The available information associates him with O&M Halyard, Inc.
