Abstract
A handheld apparatus includes a weight sensor configured to weigh an object, a display configured to display the weight of the object, and a wireless transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the object weight data from the weight sensor to one or more remote devices. The apparatus also includes a user interface that allows a user to control operation of the weight sensor, and to control transmission of object weight data to a remote device via the wireless transmitter. The user interface may also allow a user to enter and display descriptive information about an object that can be transmitted with the object weight data to a remote device. A second handheld apparatus is used to capture an image of the object and display object weight data within the image.
