Electronic shelf tag system, electronic shelf tag and corresponding change method

Abstract

An electronic shelf tag system is provided with a feature in which time necessary for making electronic shelf tags correspond to articles can be shortened. When an electronic tag (5) receives a correspondence releasing signal, an electronic shelf tag system (1) displays a hardware information screen (S2) including an article code (8d) in response to the releasing signal. Thus, an unlinked state electronic shelf tag (5) maintains a continuously displaying state of its article code (8d). Therefore, no work is necessary for the electronic tag (5) to display the article code (8d) in a link work to make the electronic shelf tag (5) correspond to articles, so that time necessary for making electronic shelf tags correspond to articles can be remarkably shortened.
