Abstract
A control device controls electronic labels in an electronic label system. The control device includes a first interface that acquires a captured image in which a commodity is included. A second interface transmits display information to an electronic label. A processor identifies, based on a captured image received via the first interface, the commodity and the position of the commodity. The processor determines a display position on an electronic label for displaying commodity information relating to the commodity based on the position of the commodity, and generates display information including the display position and a display content based on the identified commodity and the display position. The processor transmits the generated display information to the electronic label via the second interface.
