Abstract
An Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) management server and a method for controlling the ESL management server are disclosed. An ESL management server for compressing an image to be displayed on an external display device of the ESL system comprises a communication unit obtaining an image including product information; and a processor applying a first pre-processing process to the image, chain coding the image to which the first pre-processing process has been applied, encoding a chain code and a chain code table obtained as a result of the chain coding into a bitstream, generating a compressed image file using the bitstream, and transmitting the compressed image file to an external display device through the communication unit, where the first pre-processing process converts data with a high local correlation within the image into a small integer but converts data with a small local correlation within the image into a large integer.
