Abstract: A computing device determines a unique identifier associated with a device comprising an embedded system. The computing device sends the unique identifier to a wide area network (WAN) accessible service and receives an encrypted digital image comprising a firmware update for the device comprising the embedded system from the WAN accessible service. The computing device stores the encrypted digital image in a storage area of the computing device and initiates an over the air update of firmware of the device comprising the embedded system using the encrypted digital image.

Abstract: An independent, stand-alone, battery powered information display module to visually display computer generated, alpha-numeric information on one or more liquid crystal displays. The module has particular application for storing and displaying pricing and related information associated with a shelf item commonly offered for sale in a retail establishment, such as a grocery store, or the like. Pricing information is supplied by a computer to the price display module for storage and eventual display by way of a hand-held, portable data terminal. The portable data terminal is electrically connected to the display module by a multi-terminal connector, whereby electrical contact pins of the connector are aligned for engagement with respective electrical contact strips located at the face of the display module and connected to the memory thereof.
