Abstract: A method for providing product information to at least one media displaying device located in at least one store and having an output and a data reception unit, each store having at least one data emitting device, comprising the steps of: generating, at a central back-office server connected to the store data emitting unit, an individual glyph corresponding to each different character or symbol of the product information; generating at least a display script comprising reference and position data of the glyphs in the product information; transmitting the display script and the individual glyphs to the store data emitting device; transmitting the display script to the media displaying device; broadcasting the individual glyphs; selecting and loading in the media displaying device individual glyphs corresponding to the reference data comprised in the display script; and displaying the selected and loaded individual glyphs at the output means of the media displaying device according to the position data comprise

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for locating electronic shelf labels (1) distributed in a retail area, each provided with a label identifier specific thereto, a plurality of radio frequency tags (4) being configured to transmit radio signals (S1), wherein: a mobile terminal (3) receives (S2) radio signals transmitted by a plurality of radio frequency tags (4) and determines data from the signals; at a time of acquisition, the mobile terminal (3) acquires the identifier of an electronic shelf label (1) from said electronic shelf label (1); the mobile terminal (3) transmits, to a central computer server (6), the label identifier and the data from the signals received at the time of acquisition, the central computer server (6) determines the association data between the electronic shelf label (1) identified by the label identifier and a position determined from the data from the radio signals received at the time of acquisition.

Abstract: The invention concerns an information display system in a sales area, comprising: —a support (2) comprising a module (15) managing electronic shelf labels and connection lines (40) linking the management module to the receiving space; and —a plurality of electronic shelf labels (6) housed in the receiving space of said support, wherein the electronic shelf labels (6) are connected to the connection lines (40) via connectors (63), and wherein the electronic shelf labels (6) are managed by the management module.
