Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows users or operators to quickly find relevant items without waiting up before they actually use them. It involves generating guidelines about which item should appear next instead of continuously updating its own version. These guided updates help reduce errors caused during production processes while still providing accurate data feedback. Additionally, this technology helps improve workflow management and reduces staff effort required. Overall, these technical improvements enhance the functionality and usability of electronic shopping systems.

Problems solved by technology

This technical issue addressed in this patented text relates to improving the accuracy of identifying purchasing costs due to incorrect sale orders caused by insufficient documentation provided during the registration phase of electronic shopping tags used in retailing environments.

Embodiment approach 1

[0046] figure 1 It is a diagram showing a configuration example of a store information system 100 including the electronic shelf label system 1 of the present invention. also, figure 2 It is a diagram showing how the electronic shelf labels 5 included in the electronic shelf label system 1 are arranged on the commodity shelves 60 .

[0047] Such as figure 2 As shown, the commodity shelf 60 is divided into a plurality of spaces called compartments 61 , and commodities 6 of the same type are collectively placed in each compartment 61 . That is, one shelf 61 physically corresponds to one kind of commodity 6 placed on the shelf 61 in a one-to-one manner. In addition, a barcode indicating a product code (product identification information) for identifying the type of product is attached to each product 6 by labeling or printing. Furthermore, the product code is not limited to a barcode, and may be represented by, for example, a QR code or the like.

[0048] On the frame 62 o...

Embodiment approach 2

[0181] In the first embodiment described above, when the product 6 is associated with the electronic shelf label 5 using the handheld scanner 7, when the CPU 11 of the ESL server 10 determines that the product 6 has not been registered in the product reference information 140 ( Step S32), the handheld scanner 7 displays the screen 151 that urges the input of the temporary information 132 (steps S34 and Figure 11 ). This is based on the premise that the data communication unit 78 of the handheld scanner 7 can communicate with the ESL server 10 bidirectionally.

[0182] However, the data communication unit 78 of the handheld scanner 7 may be configured to only transmit data to and from the ESL server 10 , and may not be able to receive data from the ESL server 10 . In this case, the hand-held scanner 7 cannot know whether the product 6 to be processed is registered in the product reference information 140 in the ELS server 10, and the hand-held scanner 7 cannot display only th...

Abstract

In-store work on commodities not registered in a commodity master can be performed. An ESL server (10) is provided with a hard disk (14) for storing a commodity master (140) and a link file (141) and a bar code reader (17), and a link unit (110). When a commodity is associated with an electronic shelf label, an operator causes the bar code reader (17) to read a bar code representing the commodity code of the commodity and a bar code representing the device code of the electronic shelf label disposed near the commodity. The link unit (110) stores acquired commodity specification information (130) and device specification information (131) in the link file (141) in association with each other regardless of whether or not the commodity represented by the read commodity code is registered in the commodity master (140).
