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.

There is disclosed an apparatus for mounting electronic shelf labels (ESLs) onto shelving, comprising: a rail having first and second grasping members adapted to receive one or more ESLs; and an installation clip integrally connected to the rail, the installation clip adapted to install the apparatus onto shelving in a plurality of configurations by either clipping onto a curved front face of shelving or snapping into a curved front face of shelving. In an embodiment, the installation clip comprises an inner wall and an outer wall flexibly joined at a knee, the inner and outer walls being resiliently flexible relative to each other and having an opening adapted to receive a front face of shelving therebetween. In another embodiment, locking features provided on the out wall allow the apparatus to be snapped into position onto a curved face of shelving having top and bottom extending ledges.

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.

A merchandise assembly for the retail display of goods in combination with a gondola system displaying a plurality of greeting cards includes a generally planar member, a plurality of merchandising support members, and a mounting arm. The generally planar member is constructed to include a front side and a rear side. The merchandising support members extend from at least one of the front and rear sides of the panel. The mounting arm connects the generally planar member with the gondola system. The general planar member is positioned forward of the plurality of greeting cards displayed by the gondola system and the mounting arm extends rearwardly from the generally planar member to the gondola system.

An article includes at least first and second members. A decorative object is within the second member. Interlocking features are adapted to removably interlock the first and second members together. The interlocking features include a channel and a rail that are complementarily shaped so that the rail is receivable within the channel to removably interlock the rail with the channel. At least the second member is formed of a translucent or transparent material so that the decorative object within the second member is visible through the member.

The invention relates to an electronic shelf label system that comprises a server for delivering shelf label display information to a number of display devices that are controlled by the server to display said shelf label display information on their screens, wherein said screen is designed to display video content represented by received video data, and said display device is designed to deliver video data to a screen and to receive label positioning data for defining the position of the shelf label display information in the display area of at least one of the screens connected to it, and to embed the shelf label display information in accordance with the received location data in the video content that is delivered to said screen.

A shelf tag attachment apparatus (100) includes a shelf tag holding portion (103) for holding an electronic shelf tag (101), and a support member (102) that supports the shelf tag holding portion rotatably about a rotation axis P extending in a left-right direction of the electronic shelf tag (101). The shelf tag holding portion (103) includes a bearing portion for rotating about the rotation axis P relative to the support member (102). The support member (102) includes an arm portion (110) that is provided with a shaft portion (112), and that sandwiches the bearing portion from the left-right direction. The shelf tag holding portion (103) includes a stopper (130) that contacts the arm portion (110), and thereby locks in such a way that a display surface (104) of the electronic shelf tag (101) does not rotate beyond a previously determined range in a direction to face downwards.

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.
