A method in a computing device includes: capturing, via a camera of a computing device, an image of a monitoring device including a sensor, the sensor presenting an active one of a set of predefined visual states; detecting, within the image, a machine-readable indicium disposed on the monitoring device; determining, from the machine-readable indicium, a state detection parameter; selecting, according to the state detection parameter, at least portion of the image containing the sensor and determining the active state presented by the sensor; controlling an output assembly of the computing device to present a handling notification based on the determined active state.

Assistive detection of visual states for monitoring devices

Systems and methods are disclosed that include an electronic device and an activation device. The electronic device includes a battery compartment having a battery storage section and a battery engagement section. The battery engagement section includes battery contacts. The electronic also includes a battery disposed in the battery storage section of the battery compartment. The battery moves from the battery storage section to the battery engagement section in response to an activation event to place the battery in electrical contact with the battery contacts. The activation device includes an activation element configured to generate the activation event.

Systems and methods for activating an electronic device via battery displacement

A printer includes: a body defining a media enclosure configured to receive a media supply; an indicator assembly supported by an outer wall of the body, the indicator assembly including a plurality of substantially contiguous illumination surfaces illuminated by respective ones of a set of lights supported within the body; a controller supported by the body, the controller configured to: (i) obtain an operational status of the printer, (ii) retrieve, from a mapping repository, a set of notification control parameters corresponding to the operational status, and (iii) control the set of lights according to the notification control parameters.

Indicator assembly for media processing devices

A method includes: obtaining, at a server, an observation record describing a condition at a facility; determining, from the observation record, a set of selection criteria corresponding to the condition; retrieving, from a repository connected to the server, a set of data objects according to the selection criteria; generating, from the retrieved data objects, a contextual dataset associated with the condition; and presenting the contextual dataset to a client computing device.

Automated contextualization of operational observations

A system configured to display an augmented-reality user interface for a barcode reader using a heads-up display assembly is provided. An augmented reality adapter having a camera and a presentation generator is configured to identify a unique identifier associated with a handheld barcode reader and provide an augmented reality display based on data captured by the handheld barcode reader. The presentation generator may position the augmented reality display based on a location of the unique identifier within the field of view (FOV) of the camera.
