Shelf rail for an electronic shelf-label system, comprising a first fastening structure for fastening at least one electronic shelf label that can be supplied with power in a contact-free manner, wherein the first fastening structure comprises a wall running between a head area and a foot area of the shelf rail with a wall front side and a wall back side, which defines a shelf-label plane with its wall front side for the positioning of the at least one shelf label along the wall, and wherein the shelf rail on the wall back side comprises at least one second fastening structure for attaching at least one conductor loop on a conductor-loop plane, wherein the conductor-loop plane is aligned parallel to the shelf-label plane and runs at the defined first distance from the shelf-label plane, and wherein the shelf rail comprises a third fastening structure for fastening a conductive structure.

Electronic shelf-label system with a contact-free shelf-label power and/or data supply

The invention relates to a display device (-) comprising a storage stage () for storing a product data set (PD-PD) which was received in a communication with a base station () via a first radio interface () of the display device (-), and comprising a second radio interface () for communication in particular for RFID or NFC communication, with a self-checkout device (), which display device (-) is designed to process a self-checkout request received from a self-checkout device () for the purpose of transmitting the product data set (PD) via the second radio interface ().

Display device for displaying a price and/or product information

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.

Battery-operated electronic label

Radio base station, having a first radio module for radio communication with first radio communication devices, and a connection for connecting an ESL radio module for radio communication with electronic display panels, wherein the radio base station has a first, in particular software-based, control stage for controlling the radio communication of the first radio module according to a first communication protocol, and a second, in particular software-based, control stage for controlling the radio communication of the ESL radio module connectable to the connection according to a second communication protocol, and a, in particular software-based, third control stage for predictively changing a time sequence, defined for a future period, of radio activities of the first radio module on the basis of radio activities of the ESL radio module that are defined for said future period.

Radio base station for combined radio communication

The invention relates to a method for locating an electronic shelf label with an unknown location, in particular in the form of an electronic shelf label display, of an electronic shelf labelling system, wherein the system comprises a number of access points with known locations, which are positioned in different positions at a distance from a shelf, wherein the shelf has at least one shelf edge strip and wherein one of the shelf edge strips has at least one electronic shelf label that is designed such that it can be contactlessly supplied with power, and an electronic power supply device located on the shelf edge strip and designed for contactlessly supplying the at least one shelf label with power, wherein the method comprises the following method steps: determining the position of the electronic supply device in relation to the access points with known locations using an ultra-wide-band radio communication between the access points and the power supply device.

Method for locating an electronic shelf label

In a sales area, a method for checking the layout of articles in a gondola, the gondola comprising at least one electronic shelf label which corresponds to a matching area of a gondola, with a single product slot field comprising a gondola number, a row number and a shelf label number, the method comprising steps of: acquisition of an image of the gondola; automated detection of electronic shelf labels, and automated detection of rows; for at least one electronic shelf label, determination of the matching area of the gondola, and determination of the slot field; detection of layout information in said area of the gondola in the acquired image; identification of the associated article identifier in a realogram database; and check of compliance of detected layout information, with respect to expected layout information stored in the realogram database.

Camera-implemented article layout control method for shelves equipped with electronic shelf labels

An electronic shelf label, which comprises:

Electronic shelf label with action triggering

The invention relates to an electronic shelf labelling system comprising at least one electronic shelf label that is designed such that it can be contactlessly supplied with power, and at least one shelf edge strip on which at least one shelf label of this type is secured, and an electronic power supply assigned to the shelf edge strip, in particular assigned only to this one shelf edge strip, which is designed to contactlessly supply power to the at least one electronic shelf label secured to said shelf edge strip.
