  • Method and system for end user verification of controlled substances
    Patent number: 8616445
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes an image capture module that captures a digital image of a symbology that is affixed to a regulated product. The device decodes the symbology to identify an end user functional element which has a public component and a law enforcement component. If the device has received a law enforcement official verification, then the device may use the law enforcement component of the functional element to take a first action. If the device has not received the law enforcement official verification, then the processor device may use the public component of the functional element to take a second action.
