A shelf illumination device that includes a label holder configured to hold a label and also configured for removable attachment to a front-facing end of a retail store shelf. The device includes a light bar having a plurality of light sources positioned along a length of the light bar, and with a handle attached to one end of the light bar. A carrier has a first flat portion that extends for a length at least as long the light bar. The carrier further includes a first projection and a second projection that together define an opening configured to hold the light bar. The carrier is configured for assembly to the label holder. A light-conducting member is sandwiched between the label holder and the carrier. The light-conducting member has an edge configured to receive light from a source and to conduct that light throughout the entire light-conducting member.

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.

A selectively attachable marking device for permitting a user to distinguish between multiple articles which otherwise look the same or similar, particularly textile articles such as bath linens, bed linens, or table linens. The device has a clip-like structure, and may be preferably provided with retaining ribs to resist undesired slippage of the device off an edge of the textile article with which it is used.

Examples provide an electronic shelf label (ESL) removal tool for removing an electronic shelf label from a shelf. The tool includes a central body member which is substantially cylindrical. A gripping member is included at a first end of the central body enabling a user to grip the tool. An expansion member at a second end of the central body slides between a shelf rail to expand or increase a distance between the rails. The tool enables the user to remove the ESL from between the rails more easily. A wedge-shaped tab at the second end of the central body fits between one edge of the shelf rail and the edge of the ESL to pry the ESL out from between the rails.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for providing information on electronic visual displays in retail stores. In one implementation, a door for a retail storage container may include at least a first part that is configured to face customers when the door is closed and a second part configured to face the internal side of the retail storage container when the door is closed. Further, the second part may include at least an electronic visual display configured to display information, and at least part of the electronic visual display may be configured to be visible to the customers at least when the door is open at a selected angle.

A label apparatus for a peg hook includes a body including a display unit displaying product information and a holder detachably provided at one end of the body and including a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion in which one end portions are rotatably connected to each other and the other end portions are attached to each other so that a catching hole is formed therebetween.

A fixture for storage and presentation of goods includes a support structure and a multitude of rod shelves disposed on the support structure. Each of the multitude of rod shelves includes support brackets and rods disposed between the support brackets. The fixture further includes a multitude of configurable trays disposed on the multitude of rod shelves and configured to hold the goods. Each of the multitude of configurable trays is removably clipped to the rods of one of the multitude of rod shelves to occupy substantially all available space between the support brackets.

A method for updating a content of an electronic label and a device are provided. The method includes: obtaining first object information of a first target object, where a distance difference between the first target object and a first coordinate position where a first electronic label is located is within a preset distance range; sending the first object information of the first target object to the first electronic label, and controlling the first electronic label to display the first object information of the first target object.

Systems, methods and apparatuses are presented that provide a modular mechanism for securing and displaying ESL devices from a variety of structures and surfaces common to a commercial environment. Included are different types of holders for supporting different types of ESL devices, and a variety of types of surface adapters, each of which are uniquely configured for securement to a surface or structure, but which also have a uniform system of engagement that allows their use with any of the holders.

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.
