Abstract
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.
