Abstract: An ESL and ESL holder combination includes a locking mechanism for releasably securing the ESL to the ESL holder and an ESL provided with at least one gripping means for cooperative engagement with the ESL holder. A protruding, spring loaded locking element is arranged on the ESL for cooperative engagement with the shelf edge rail. The ESL holder is attachable to the edge of a shelf, the ESL holder being provided with one or more receiving means such as slots for receiving the gripping means and the locking element in cooperative engagement. The spring loaded locking element arranged adjacent to the gripping means and positioned on the ESL such that the spring loaded locking element cannot enter the receiving means on the ESL holder during insertion of the gripping means into the receiving means, and such that it enters the receiving means by spring action when the gripping means is brought into a hooked position, in the receiving means.

Abstract: An ESL and ESL holder combination includes a locking mechanism for releasably securing the ESL to the ESL holder, and an ESL provided with at least one gripping means for cooperative engagement with the ESL holder. The ESL holder is attachable to an edge of a shelf, the ESL holder being provided with one or more receiving means such as for example slots for receiving the gripping means and the locking element in cooperative engagement. A spring loaded element is arranged inside the ESL such that the spring loaded element, in a latched position, secures the ESL to the ESL holder when the gripping means is brought into a hooked position in the receiving means. When displaced from its latched position, allowing the gripping means to leave its hooked position, this enables removal of the ESL from the ESL holder.

Abstract: An electronic label wirelessly connected to an information updating system having a server. The electronic label includes a wireless communication interface to receive information from the server to be displayed on a display, a means for label processing connected to the communication interface, a means for updating the display connected to the means for label processing, and at least one dot matrix display to display a dot matrix image, where the dot matrix display is connected to the means for updating the display. The communication interface receives the information to be displayed from the information updating system. The label includes a layout script such that the means for label processing generates the dot matrix image from the received information using the layout script.

Abstract: An electronic label, which is wirelessly connected to a product information updating system, said label comprising at least one display (3; 11,13,15) adapted to display product information. According to the invention the display (3; 11,13,15) has a transparent or semitransparent backside and is adapted to be lit up from behind.

Abstract: An electronic label showing information about a product related to this electronic label on a display (9; 31), said electronic label being updated from a central control unit. According to the invention the electronic label comprises a replaceable front shell (5; 21) and a stationary communication part (3; 23) to which the front shell should be attached.

Abstract: Method of linking an electronic information label (EIL) having a display, to an Item in an EIL system including the steps: registering an EIL ID for the EIL, registering an ITEM ID for the Item to be linked with the EIL, storing the registered EIL ID and the ITEM ID as link data in a link data register in the EIL system, optionally indicating the link status for the EIL via a system interface, sending link confirmation data from the EIL system to the EIL, indicating, in response to the confirmation data, the link status for the EIL by displaying a link status image on the EIL display, wherein the link status image is at least partly a predefined image stored in an EIL storing unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical transmitter unit (10) comprising a transmitter unit comprising at least one source (9) of infra-red light mounted to a base member (6), for transmitting messages by means of infra-red signals. The transmitter unit further comprises a reflector (3) unit mounted on the base member (6), wherein said reflector has a number (n) of reflecting surfaces (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) for transmission. It is designed to distribute the infra-red light from said at least one source in a predefined space having an arbitrary number of boundary surfaces in such a way that a substantially uniform signal power distribution is obtained on at one or more selected boundary surfaces of said predefined space.
