Abstract: An inventory control system comprises an object storage device, a display device, and one or more processors. The object storage device includes a plurality of compartments, in which each compartment has a plurality of storage locations for storing objects. The display device is configured to display information about the object storage device. The one or more processors are configured to establish a description database of objects configured for storage in the inventory control system. The one or more processors retrieve object keywords corresponding to objects stored in the plurality of storage locations of one of the plurality of compartments. The one or more processors also generate a text block based on the retrieved object keywords. On the display device, the one or more processors display a representation of the plurality of compartments of the object storage device with the text block applied to the one of the plurality of compartments.

Abstract: An inventory control system comprises an object storage device, one or more processors, a display device, and a mobile device. The object storage device includes a plurality of compartments, and each compartment includes a plurality of storage locations for storing objects. The one or more processors are configured to establish a database containing information regarding the object storage device, retrieve the information regarding the object storage device from the database, and generate an optical symbol based on the information regarding the object storage device. The display device is associated with the object storage device and configured to display the optical symbol. The mobile device is configured to capture an image of the optical symbol, obtain the information regarding the object storage device based on the image of the optical symbol, and display the information regarding the object storage device on a display screen of the mobile device.
