According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic shelf label includes a display configured to receive a touch input from a user and display information to the 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 display is configured to receive a division input from the user, and the controller is configured to determine type of division input, generate a plurality of virtual cells by dividing the screen based on the determination result thereof, and assign a unique code to each of the plurality of virtual cells.

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.

Disclosed is a wearable badge (100) for holding an identification card (200). The badge (100) comprises a card holder (2) configured to removably hold an identification card (200), a first optical sensor (16) configured to measure an optical property of a first region (22) of a surface of the identification card (200) when removably held by the card holder (2), and a processor (20) configured to determine a type of the identification card (200) based on the measured optical property of the first region (22). Furthermore, a system is provided comprising the badge (100) and a set of identification cards (200), wherein at least some of the first regions (22) comprised by the set of identification cards (200) have different optical properties that encode different types of identification cards. Also disclosed is a method of determining a type of an identification card (200).

A display method for an electronic label having a display area is disclosed. The display method includes the following steps. A plurality of visual contents to be displayed are predefined, wherein each of the visual contents has a first state and a second state corresponding to a first state display subpage and a second state display page respectively. The display area is divided into a plurality of first sub-areas for displaying the plurality of first state display subpages respectively. A second sub-area operable for selection of a specific one from the plurality of first state display subpages is provided in each of the first sub-area in response to a first instruction of a user. The display area is caused to display the second state display page corresponding to the specific first state display subpage in response to a second instruction of the user.

A garden marker with features of convenience for a gardener.

Battery unit for an electronic price label and an electronic price label, which includes a separate, external, replaceable battery unit having a battery, and a fastening means, which may be detachably fasten the battery unit to the frame part of the electronic price label.

An electronic label with a housing, that comprises a front wall and a rear wall and a side wall, wherein the front wall comprises a, particularly reflective, screen, and wherein by contrast to the front wall and rear wall, the side wall is constructed to be light-conducting and wherein a light source for emitting the light that can be generated using it through the side wall is positioned inside the housing, and wherein the side wall is inclined towards the front wall.

A price information determination apparatus (10) includes an information acquisition unit (110), a price information determination unit (120), and an output unit (130). The information acquisition unit (110) acquires customer information of a customer when the customer selects a specific product (50) out of products (50) placed in a product shelving unit (40). The price information determination unit (120) generates price information of the selected product (50) by using the customer information acquired by the information acquisition unit (110). The output unit (130) outputs the customer information generated by the price information determination unit (120) to, for example, a display apparatus (30).

A method for controlling an electronic shelf label according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes providing an input request window including a barcode recognition request phrase on a virtual cell selected by a user, receiving barcode information of a product obtained by a barcode reader as a product identification input, obtaining product information based on the received product identification input, and displaying the obtained product information on the selected virtual cell.
