An energy-saving operation method for electronic shelf labels

Abstract

The invention discloses an energy-saving operating method of electronic goods shelf labels. The energy-saving operating method is applied to the electronic goods shelf labels and is a method for message exchanging and operating state switching through a wireless network and a computer server. The method includes that a dormancy time period is set for each electronic goods shelf label of a same wireless local area network or a wireless personal area network, each electronic goods shelf label in a working state is enabled to enter in a dormancy state after communication with the computer server of the network where the electronic goods shelf label is positioned and to reenter the working state and establish connection with the computer server after completion of the dormancy time period, and the dormancy time periods can dynamically change so as to avoid completion caused by the fact that the electronic goods shelf labels enter the dormancy state at the same time. By the method for performing message exchanging and setting operating states of the electronic goods shelf labels through the wireless network, energy consumption of the electronic goods shelf labels can be effectively lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the fields of electronic shelf label technology and wireless network technology, and more particularly, relates to an energy-saving operation method of an electronic shelf label based on wireless network communication. Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of the retail industry, there are more and more varieties of goods displayed on supermarket shelves, and various promotional activities in supermarkets also make the prices of goods change more frequently. These have led to supermarkets spending a lot of money on replacing and managing price labels. The price on the shelf label and the price in the POS system are inconsistent due to inevitable mistakes, which eventually lead to customer complaints and damage to reputation abound. It is these reasons that gave birth to the electronic shelf label system (Electronic ShelfLabelSystem, ESLs). [0003] ESLs are shelf-placed electronic displays that re...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0014] The electronic shelf labels mentioned above usually use various small-sized and low-power display devices, and are powered by batteries. The energy-saving methods they adopt are relatively simple. Solve the competition phenomenon caused by the end of the dormancy state of the electronic shelf label at the same time, resulting in the slow update of the electronic shelf label information and the possibility of losing the updated information, and some products use liquid crystal display, it is difficult to ensure the long-term continuous operation of the electronic shelf label Work
