BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to information handling systems. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to using passively represented information to identify items within a multi-dimensional space.

Description of the Related Art

As the value and use of information continues to increase, individuals and businesses seek additional ways to process and store information. One option available to users is information handling systems. An information handling system generally processes, compiles, stores, and/or communicates information or data for business, personal, or other purposes thereby allowing users to take advantage of the value of the information. Because technology and information handling needs and requirements vary between different users or applications, information handling systems may also vary regarding what information is handled, how the information is handled, how much information is processed, stored, or communicated, and how quickly and efficiently the information may be processed, stored, or communicated. The variations in information handling systems allow for information handling systems to be general or configured for a specific user or specific use such as financial transaction processing, airline reservations, enterprise data storage, or global communications. In addition, information handling systems may include a variety of hardware and software components that may be configured to process, store, and communicate information and may include one or more computer systems, data storage systems, and networking systems.

It is known to use information handling systems and related IT systems within information technology (IT) environments such as data centers. In such IT environments it is often desirable to be able to identify individual information handling systems and related IT systems. A known method of identifying these systems is associating a unique identifier such as a bar code or a quick response (QR) code with the system. This unique identifier is often visibly attached to the system so that the unique identifier may be accessed by an IT technician using a scanner. However, unique identifiers such as bar codes and QR codes are not aesthetically pleasing, don't blend in with the system, can be scratched off or damaged, and involve extra processes to label objects.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for facilitating decoding of information associated with items within a multi-dimensional space, comprising: scanning a plurality of multi-dimensional symbols, each of the plurality of multi-dimensional symbols being scanned from a plurality of angles; identifying each of the plurality of multi-dimensional symbols for each angle; and storing information identifying each of the plurality of multi-dimensional symbols for each angle in an encoded geometry repository.
