The invention relates to an imaging device for a shelf support on a shelf edge and comprising a receiving section configured to receive electronic labels, the imaging device comprising a back side configured to be removably fitted in the receiving section, a front side opposite to the back side, an optical sensor configured to acquire an image of shelves facing the front side, an actuator configured to rotate the optical sensor around one or more axes of rotation, a memory configured to save the image, a processing unit configured to transmit the image to an image server.

Imaging device for a shelf support and shelf system comprising the imaging device

The invention relates to an imaging device for a shelf support on a shelf edge comprising a receiving section configured to receive electronic labels, the imaging device comprising: aback side configured to be removably fitted in the receiving section, a front side () opposite to the back side, an optical sensor () configured to acquire an image of shelves facing the front side, an actuator configured to rotate the optical sensor around one or more axes of rotation, a memory configured to save the image, a processing unit configured to transmit the image to an image server.

The invention further relates to a radio tag with a communication stage and a logic stage that interacts therewith The invention relates to a method for locating a radio tag whose position is unknown, wherein in a group of radio tags, in particular designed as electronic price-indicating devices, a locating signal is either a) emitted by one or more radio tags whose position is known and received by the radio tag whose position is unknown or b) emitted by the radio tag whose position is unknown and received by one or more radio tags whose position is known, and, in both cases a) and b), the reception quality for the locating signal is determined and provided, for the radio tag receiving the locating signal, as a basis for narrowing down the position of the radio tag whose position is unknown.

Method for locating a radio tag

A system, exhibiting a communication station for communicating with a number of radio tags in a time slot communication process, in which a number of time slots per time slot cycle in a repeating sequence are available for communication, and each time slot is characterized by a distinct time slot symbol, wherein the communication station is designed to send out a synchronization data signal exhibiting the time slot symbol for the currently present time slot, and wherein a radio tag is designed for changing from a sleep state into an active state at a wakeup instant, and for receiving the synchronization data signal in the active state and, if the received time slot symbol indicates a time slot intended for it, for defining a new wakeup instant corresponding to the next appearance of the time slot intended for it in a time slot cycle that follows the currently present time slot cycle.
