Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for selecting items for presentation on electronic visual displays in retail stores. In one implementation, a method may comprise: obtaining a plurality of images of products in a retail store; analyzing a first image to determine whether products of a particular product type are available at a first point in time; analyzing a second image to determine whether products of the particular product type are available at a second point in time; and based on the determination of whether products of the particular product type are available at the first point in time and the determination of whether products of the particular product type are available at the second point in time, selecting whether to display a particular item on an electronic visual display in the retail store.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for selecting items for presentation on electronic visual displays in retail stores. In one implementation, a method may comprise: obtaining an image of products in a retail store captured using at least one image sensor; analyzing the image to determine a condition of products of a particular product type; based on the determined condition of the products of the particular product type, selecting whether to display a particular item on an electronic visual display in the retail store; in response to a selection to display the particular item, causing the electronic visual display to display the particular item; and in response to a selection not to display the particular item, forgoing causing the electronic visual display to display the particular item.

A retail intelligent display system may include at least one fixture configured for placing at least one article of merchandise thereon, at least one electronic display coupled to the at least one fixture, and a network device. The network device may include a communication module communicatively coupled to the at least one electronic display, a processor communicatively coupled to the communication module and the at least one electronic display, and a non-transitory machine-readable memory storing instructions. The retail intelligent display system may compare pricing information of the at least one article of merchandise with pricing information from one or more competitor sources, update the pricing information of the merchandise based on the pricing information from the competitor sources, and display at least one of the updated pricing information and other comparable pricing information of the merchandise on the electronic display.

A retail intelligent monitoring system including a merchandise monitoring camera coupled to a first fixture to capture first visual data of one or more articles of merchandise on a second fixture; a merchandise scanning camera coupled to a third fixture and positioned toward a fourth fixture to capture second visual data of one or more articles of merchandise on the fourth fixture; an activity tracking camera coupled to any one of the fixtures to capture third visual data of shoppers/customers' activities and configured to capture blurred visual data of shoppers such that identities of the shoppers remain unknown; and a network device. The retail intelligent monitoring system is configured to receive and analyze the first, second, and third visual data to determine information of the one or more articles of merchandise on the second and fourth fixture; and determine an inventory management procedure based on the analyzed first, second, and third visual data.

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

In some examples, a movement range indicating a geospatial boundary for executing delivery of a package including a delivery tag may be received by a user device. The delivery tag can include a modifiable display area including first identification information. Location information related to the user device or related to the delivery tag can also be received. A position of the user device or the delivery tag with respect to the geospatial boundary can be determined. Based on the position, the modifiable display area of the delivery tag can be modified to include second identification information.

An electronic price tag display method and an electronic price tag display system, a server and a computer readable storage medium. The method is applied to the server, and includes: obtaining basic information of data to be displayed in an image; converting the basic information into bitmap data; and delivering the bitmap data to an electronic price tag in order that the electronic price tag displays the content of the data to be displayed. By implementing the method, the process of manually editing bitmap data by the user is abandoned, the manpower resource and the time cost are saved, the efficiency of display control of the electronic price tag is improved, and the condition that the editing result is affected by human operation error is avoided simultaneously.

Systems and methods that employ an autonomous robotic vehicle (ARV) alone or in combination with a remote computing device during the installation of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) in a facility are discussed. The ARV may detect pre-existing product information from paper labels located on modular units prior to their removal and then detect the location of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) after installation. Pre-existing product information gleaned from the paper labels is associated with the corresponding ESLs. The ARV may also determine compliance or non-compliance of modular units to which an ESL is affixed with a planogram of the facility.

The present invention discloses a gripper integrated into an Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) store fixture to display indicia jointly with an ESL without obscuring the ESL. Indicia draws a shopper's attention to a promoted product or communicates information to a store's personnel. ESL store fixtures are connected to point of purchase displays, and can either be ESL clips, ESL strips, or ESL protectors. The gripper's fingers, which frictionally hold indicia, are coextruded with the ESL store fixture. The ESL store fixture is made of a hard material such as plastic, and the gripper fingers are made of a softer, rubber-like material. The gripper can be located anywhere on the ESL store fixture, as long as the indicia does not cover the ESL. ESL clips can be attached to shelf edges, peg hooks, wire baskets, floor models, and any other store displays. ESL protectors shield ESLs from impact or disturbance.
