Abstract: Method for input and output of data with non-standard I/O devices for web and other applications is presented. In one aspect, non-standard input data is received from the non-standard input device at a client, and the non-standard input data is provided as equivalent standard input data to the standard browser running on the client, so that the standard browser can submit the input data to an application running on a server in communication with the client over a network.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for tracking time sensitive items in a container. A barcode scanned item is placed into a container. The system stores the time of the scan and links the item identification number scanned to the inventory control system. As the time since the item was scanned increases, the system determines whether the item has exceeded a time-based alert threshold. Responsive to exceeding the time-based alert threshold, personnel are alerted to the abandoned container. The system provides data to the personnel to aid in dispositioning the item following abandonment.

In another aspect, a server receives a request from a user, and requested data and instructions are sent to the client, where a standard browser running on the client receives the data and instructions and the data can be sent to be output by a non-standard output device in communication with the client.
