Problems solved by technology

If the information required by the user is not displayed on the screen after switching the display screen, the switching operation of the screen is invalid and ends, reducing work efficiency
On the other hand, in electronic shelf labels, power consumption generally increases when switching the display screen.
Especially when a non-volatile display unit such as electrical paper is used in the electronic shelf label, the power consumption when updating the displayed content is very large

Embodiment approach 1

[0046] figure 1 It is a diagram showing a state where the electronic shelf label 5 included in the electronic shelf label system 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is arranged on a product shelf 60 of a store. In this electronic shelf label system 1 , portable electronic shelf labels 5 that display product data related to the product such as selling price are arranged corresponding to each product 6 . Then, a communication signal including data indicating the selling price based on the commodity basic information is transmitted from the delivery side device that transmits the information to each electronic shelf label 5 , and the selling price is displayed on each electronic shelf label 5 . As a result, the correct selling price that matches the selling price at the time of payment is displayed on the electronic shelf label 5, and the correct selling price is communicated to the customer.

[0047] Such as figure 1 As shown, the product shelf 60 is divided i...

Embodiment approach 2

[0114] Figure 20 It is a diagram showing the configuration of the electronic shelf label 5 employed in the electronic shelf label system 1 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the electronic shelf label system 1 of the second embodiment, the operation of the electronic shelf label 5 is changed from the electronic shelf label system 1 of the first embodiment described above. The basic structure of the electronic shelf label 5 is the same as that of the electronic shelf label 5 of the first embodiment described above. Hereinafter, the present electronic shelf label system 1 will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

[0115] In the electronic shelf label 5 according to the second embodiment, the same information as that in the first embodiment described above is displayed on the normal external screen SC1. However, in the second embodiment, the change notification information and the existence notification information displayed in t...

Embodiment approach 3

[0122] In the electronic shelf label system 1 of the above-mentioned second embodiment, when each internal screen information does not exist or has not been updated, the display content of the display 51 is partially updated to display the message. In the electronic shelf label system 1 of 3, the message is displayed on the remote controller 165 without updating the display content on the display 51 .

[0123] Figure 23 It is a figure which shows the structure of the remote controller 165 of this Embodiment 3. The remote controller 165 according to Embodiment 3 has a configuration in which a light receiving unit 163 and a display unit 164 are further provided in the remote controller 165 according to Embodiment 1 described above. The light receiving unit 163 is composed of, for example, a photodiode and an amplifier, receives an infrared signal from the electronic shelf label 5 , converts it into an electrical signal, and outputs it to the control unit 162 . The display uni...

Abstract

A technique capable of preventing unnecessary switching between display screens in an electronic shelf label is provided. An electronic shelf label (5) is disposed corresponding to a commodity and displays commodity data on the corresponding commodity. The electronic shelf label (5) includes a display (51) and a control unit (57) for switching between a front screen (SC1) and a rear screen according to the user's instruction and displaying the selected one on the display (51). The display (51) displays in an area (AR) at the upper right of the front screen (SC1) that information to be displayed on the rear screen exists or the information has been updated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic shelf label arranged corresponding to a product and displaying product data of the corresponding product, and an electronic shelf label system having the electronic shelf label. Background technique [0002] Generally, in stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores, the selling prices of products in the stores are collectively managed using basic product information (master) stored in a POS system or the like. On the other hand, selling price information is communicated to customers (consumers) through shelf labels of paper media arranged at product positions in many cases. In the case of using such a paper-medium shelf label, since the management of the shelf label has to rely on manpower, human errors such as selling price errors are prone to occur. Therefore, there is a possibility that an erroneous selling price different from the selling price at the time of settlement by the cash register (re...
