Abstract
A computing device for processing object identifier data corresponding to an object identifier includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions are stored in the memory. The instructions are executable to implement a method that involves obtaining the object identifier data. The method also involves obtaining supplemental information about the object identifier. The supplemental information identifies a symbology of the object identifier. The method also involves matching the object identifier data with a first pattern associated with a first rule that comprises first instructions and also with a second rule that comprises second instructions. The method also involves using the symbology of the object identifier to determine which of the first rule and the second rule are applied to the object identifier data.
