An electronic tag includes an electronic tag body. The electronic tag body includes a housing, a display screen configured to display information, and a sensor and a main controller that are disposed inside the housing. The sensor is configured to detect an ambient temperature of an environment in which the electronic tag body is located. The main controller is configured to shut off power supplied to the display screen in response to the ambient temperature detected by the sensor being beyond an operating temperature range of the display screen.

An apparatus includes a shelf having a front edge, a solar cell circuit disposed at the front edge, a display screen, and a controller operatively coupled to the solar cell circuit and the display screen. The controller monitors the period of a waveform of a charging voltage of a storage capacitor of the solar cell circuit, displays an image on the display screen in response to a change in the waveform timing. A system includes a plurality of shelves each having a front edge, a solar cell circuit disposed at the front edge of each of the plurality of shelves, and a controller operatively coupled to the solar cell circuits. The controller monitors the frequency at which a power transfer of each solar cell circuit occurs, and signals a device in response to a change in the frequency at which the power transfer occurs.

Disclosed is computing technology for managing information display of an electronic label which is connected to a management server via a network and displays electronic information. A moving device transmits images, which are obtained by photographing an electronic label and a product while being moved in a store, to a management server. The management server analyzes the images to extract information and detects changes in displayed products to register changed information. The management server performs inventory management using the extracted information. Further, the management server uses the extracted information to inform a store manager so that a location of a displayed product deviated from a place thereof is corrected.

A transport equipment label bracket that can be used during tracking and/or locating of delivery item(s) (e.g. mail) positioned on or in delivery-item transport equipment such as a delivery-item transport cart. The bracket can have positioned thereon a permanent first identifier and a permanent second identifier, which may include a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip. The bracket can further include a placard mount for temporarily positioning a placard such as a delivery-item transport equipment label, which can represent the delivery item(s) that are in or on the delivery-item transport equipment. The placard and either/both of the first identifier and the second identifier can be scanned to associate or conjoin the placard with the RFID chip as represented in a computerized delivery-item-tracking system. Thereafter, the RFID chip can be scanned to identify a location of the placard and thus the location of the delivery-item transport cart.

The present invention is a message updating system for an electronic label. The system comprises a message updating device, wherein a controller thereof controls a power-supply transmission unit and a message-update transmission unit to respectively transmit a charging signal and a message-updating to the electronic label for charging the electronic label and updating label information of the electronic label. A detection device picks up the label information to generate label content information, transmits the label content information to the controller to make the controller compare the label content information with update comparison information, and generates an alert message if the label content information is different from the update comparison information. The present can charge the electronic label that is mounted on an article and update label information simultaneously while the article is being transported.

Apparatus firmly holds and protects an ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) assembly (ESL attached to a basket clip) installed onto a retail basket wire member so that the ESL assembly is prevented from being dislocated off the wire member by impact or disturbance. Apparatus confines the ESL assembly on a retail basket wire member with a rear lip engaged behind the rear portion of the basket clip, and a front face that engages with the front face of the ESL. A bottom tongue engages with the bottom edge of the ESL to immobilize apparatus on ESL assembly. Apparatus has two protruding shoulders or a friction coating to prevent horizontal dislocation of apparatus off ESL assembly. Another embodiment of apparatus in the form of a strip is adapted to engage with a plurality of ESL assemblies. Apparatus has holes so it can be additionally immobilized onto the wire member with fasteners.

An electronic shelf label that comprises: a display unit that is arranged to display an image, and an interaction interface which is arranged separate from the display unit, wherein the interaction interface is realized as touch sensitive unit that provides a touch-triggered signal, and a processing unit that is connected to the touch sensitive unit and is arranged to process the touch-triggered signal.

The present invention is an improvement for retail customer experience. Stores that use an Electronic Shelf Label to displays a price (also known as ESL) need an apparatus to draw a customer's attention to products on sale or promoted. The invention is a flag for indicia that quickly attaches to ESLs with an elastic. The flag's indicia increases the ESL's visibility to shoppers and store personnel, and makes the product more noticeable. The flag can be made out of one piece of material or two, and can accommodate indicia. The flag can also incorporate a mechanical gripper to hold indicia. The flag can be installed or removed very simply with one hand, and self-adjusts to be congruent to the ESL, without any obstructions that would cause the flag to be dislodged by an accidental bump from a shopper or cart. The flag can be made of any printable material.

An electronic display board system, an electronic display board and a support platform are provided. The electronic display board includes a display panel, a housing and a first magnetic attraction structure. The display panel includes a display surface on a display side; the housing is connected to the display panel, and includes a first connecting surface on a side away from the display panel, and the first connecting surface and the display surface have a first angle; and the first magnetic attraction structure is fixed on the housing and located between the first connecting surface and the display panel, the first magnetic attraction structure includes a first magnetic attraction portion and a second magnetic attraction portion configured to attract each other upon approaching each other.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic shelf label capable of touch input includes a display configured to receive touch input from a user and display information to a user on a screen; and a controller configured to control the screen displayed by the display based on the input received through the display, the controller is configured to: control the display to be operated in a consumer mode in which product information is displayed to the user or a manager mode in which a screen displayed in the consumer mode is set.
