The present disclosure discloses a display adjustment method and device for a bar-shaped electronic shelf label. The method according to the present disclosure includes: configuring a mobile terminal to be coupled with a bar-shaped electronic shelf label and obtain status information of display elements displayed on a display interface of the bar-shaped electronic shelf label; changing, by the mobile terminal, the position information of a display element from a first position information to a second position information and generating an element position adjustment instruction; configuring the bar-shaped electronic shelf label to receive the element position adjustment instruction, change the position of the display element from the first position to the second position in response to the element position adjustment instruction, and display the display element on the display interface of the bar-shaped electronic shelf label.

Provided is a computing technology for controlling information display of an electronic shelf label that is connected to a management server via a network and displays electronic information. The electronic shelf label measures a distance to at least one product arranged behind the electronic shelf label, and when a change in the distance occurs, activates a wireless tag reader. When product identification information acquired by the wireless tag reader is different from currently displayed product identification information, the electronic shelf labels request a label change registration to a server. Changed product information is received according to the label change registration, and the changed product information is reflected in displayed product information.

An electronic shelf label holder incorporating a curved upwardly extending edge at the rear of the topmost portion where debris and contaminants can accumulate. By incorporating this feature, the invention enables associates to easily and effectively wipe or clean the topmost surface without the need to actually remove the label holder, since the edge is designed to espouse the curves of a finger making wiping debris simple and effective.

An automobile comprises a light transmitting film with a thickness not greater than 0.5 millimeters with a core layer, a lightguide region of the film comprises a light emitting region with light extracting features positioned to receive and extract light from at least one light source propagating by total internal reflection within the core layer out of the core layer, and a light mixing region positioned between the at least one light source and the light emitting region, wherein a surface of the portion of the automobile is visible through the light emitting region of the film when the at least one light source is not emitting light and the light transmitting film is conformal with the surface of the portion of the automobile. The surface of the film may have arcuate cross-sectional shape conforming to a curved surface of the portion of the automobile.

A product display member is disclosed. The product display member includes an attachment portion, an elongated portion, a light source, and an information display portion. The attachment portion is configured to engage a portion of a shelf. The elongated portion is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the attachment portion. The elongated portion defines a lumen extending at least partially therethrough. The light source is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the lumen. The information display portion is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the elongated portion.

A support arrangement within a retail environment. The arrangement includes a unit that includes a casing with a flat rear side, at least three recesses arranged in a pattern are formed in the rear side. The recesses are shaped such that a shoulder extends around at least a section of the recess in the rear side. The arrangement includes a support device including a flat support body to be secured to a wall and a shelf or a support structure. The support device includes a corresponding number of attachment protrusions that have shape and dimension corresponding to the recesses and each including a support surface to bear against the shoulder of the recesses to maintain the unit attached. The arrangement includes a releasable locking device arranged to maintain the support surfaces in contact with the shoulders in the recesses. The locking device has a male/female configuration.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic price indicator comprises: a base substrate; a first mounting unit formed on the base substrate, on which a first antenna for receiving product-related information from a server is mounted; a second mounting unit formed on the base substrate, on which a first communication module connected to the first antenna is mounted; a third mounting unit formed on the base substrate, on which a second antenna for receiving a management signal from a management terminal is mounted; a fourth mounting unit formed on the base substrate, on which a second communication module connected to the second antenna is selectively mounted; and a fifth mounting unit formed on the base substrate, selectively and directly connected to any one of the second antenna and the second communication module, and provided with a low frequency (LF) circuit mounted thereon to transmit an interrupt in accordance with the management signal to the first communication module.

One broad aspect of the invention features a shelving facing display. The shelving facing display includes a housing, an electronic display, and multiple product sensors. The housing is mountable to a forward edge of a product shelf. The electronic display is mounted to the housing and arranged to be viewed from in front of the shelf. The electronic display is controllable to present desired images across at least a majority of a width of the shelf. The multiple product sensors are mounted to the housing. Each sensor is arranged to detect product on a respective width of the shelf. The display is configured to alter a displayed image in response to input from the product sensors.

Sensor-equipped display management systems and methods that may be used to calculate a number of products removed from a display management system based upon motion of one or more mechanisms within the display management system. Additionally, the systems and methods may be used to detect patterns from the sensor data, which may be indicative of attempted theft of products stored within the display management system.

According to various aspects and technical advantages, an apparatus for electronic shelf labels includes a controller circuit for communicating with communication devices using a contactless communication protocol, a set of two or more antenna coils, each antenna coil located at a known position relative to the controller circuit, and a switch for selectively coupling the controller circuit to one or more of the set of antenna coils. The controller circuit is configured to determine a physical location of a communication device based on which antenna coil from the set of antenna coils the communication device is using to communicate with the controller circuit
