Iranian Researchers Introduce Way to Find Lost Objects Using Labels

"We designed a system through which codes are assigned to objects and documents that have no certaine identity," Mehdi Qeysari, the executive director of "Aniyab" or the "Quick Finder" project said in an interview with Iranian media.

"This code is put to the person's mobile phone number and whenever those documents or objects are lost, the way to find them is easy through this code. Because with this code, the finder can inform the owner where the lost object is and how to hand it over to him or her," he added

"We have not only provided this solution for finding lost objects and documents, but also we have proposed solutions for finding animals, children and people with Alzheimer's disease," Qeysari further added. 

The executive director of the project further stated that a system has been implemented for that finding solution, explaiing, "In this system, more than 20 million objects are labeled by Aniyab via which several thousand objects and documents have been found and returned to their owners. 

The reseacher pointed to creating jobs and entrepreneurship among some of the advanatages of their project and said, currently,different departments of Iran's Police are using the services of the new system.

Stating that these labels are designed in two models, he explained, "One model is a label that contains a barcode that is attached to a person's mobile phone through a software mechanism. The individual's mobile phone number will not be revealed so that his phone number is not available to others."

"The finder finds the owner of objects or documents through scanning, dialing the code, or emailing, or dialing the system used by the owner of the object. If the finder is not an organization, the information of the owner of the lost object will be sent to the person himself, and if the finder is a legal person (company), he can contact the owner of the object, without knowing each other's phone numbers."

He stated that the labels last at least 3 years, adding, "A layer of laminate has been used on these labels, which has increased their lifespan."
