Description
Method, system, and user terminal for editing product-related information displayed on electronic shelf labels based on customer codes
[0001] The present invention relates to a method, system, and user terminal for editing product-related information displayed on an electronic shelf label based on a customer code.
[0002] Electronic labels are increasingly being used in applications such as displaying product information on store shelves. Also known as electronic shelf labels or electronic tags, electronic labels connect to a server via a gateway, receive product information, and display it on an electronic paper display. Their low-power operation, resulting in longer battery life, and the ability to update information over a communications network, which reduces store management labor costs, are driving their widespread adoption.
[0003] When a new product is placed on the shelf, a process is required to assign the electronic label to display the product's information. Typically, a store manager uses a terminal to read the barcode attached to the electronic label, then scans the product barcode and transmits it to a server. The server then assigns the electronic label to the product, registers it in its database, and transmits the product information to the electronic label, thereby updating the display.
[0004] To change the product-related information displayed on these electronic labels, the server can generate the desired product-related information and transmit it to the electronic label. However, in this case, the product-related information is edited by the server administrator. Therefore, on-site staff at the store where the product is displayed cannot directly edit the information, and it cannot be efficiently modified according to on-site circumstances, which can reduce the flexibility of editing the product-related information displayed on the electronic label.
[0005] Meanwhile, there is a technology that provides a product information editing environment through a user terminal, based on pairing the user terminal with the electronic label, allowing store staff to edit product-related information displayed on the electronic label in real time. However, in this case, if any user terminal is indiscriminately paired with the electronic label and the product information can be edited through this, the problem can arise where unauthorized individuals, such as store customers or other store staff, can edit product-related information without authorization, in addition to employees authorized to edit product-related information.
[0006] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a method, system, and user terminal for editing product-related information displayed on a customer code-based electronic shelf label are provided, which grant authority to edit product-related information displayed on the electronic shelf label to a user terminal that has transmitted a customer code to the electronic shelf label.

[0102] - How to edit product-related information displayed on electronic shelf labels (S100, S200)
[0103] Hereinafter, a method of editing product-related information displayed on an electronic shelf label (100) through a product-related information editing application executed by a processor (21) of a computing device (400, 500) according to various embodiments will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 13.
[0104] In various embodiments, the processor (21) of the computing device (300, 400) may execute a product-related information editing application stored in the memory (22) or cause it to operate in the background.
[0105] Hereinafter, a method is performed in which a processor (21) of a computing device (300, 400) operates to execute a command of a product-related information editing application to provide an environment necessary for performing the method of editing the above-described product-related information. However, for convenience of explanation, the description is shortened to say that the product-related information editing application performs the operation instead of the processor (21) of the computing device (300, 400).
[0106] In addition, for convenience of explanation, the computing device (300, 400) is referred to as a user terminal in the following description.
[0107] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method (S100) for editing product-related information displayed on an electronic shelf label (100) according to one embodiment.
[0108] Referring to FIG. 5, a method (S100) for editing product-related information may include a step (S101) in which a first user terminal (300) and an electronic shelf label (100) are paired, a step (S103) in which a unique first customer code of the first user terminal (300) is transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100), a step (S105) in which the first user terminal (300) receives a first user input for editing product-related information, and a step (S107) in which data of product-related information changed according to the first user input is transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100) paired with the first user terminal (300).
[0109] In step S101 where the first user terminal (300) and the electronic shelf label (100) are paired, referring to FIG. 6, when the user presses the first button (1) and / or the second button (2) included in the electronic shelf label (100), a pairing signal is transmitted from the electronic shelf label (100) to the first user terminal (300), and the electronic shelf label (100) can be paired to the first user terminal (300) based on a Bluetooth function. Here, the user using the first user terminal (300) may be a store field employee or a store manager.
[0110] For example, in step (S101), when a product-related information editing application is running on a first user terminal (300), and the user presses the first button (1) and / or the second button (2) included in the electronic shelf label (100), the first user terminal (300) and the electronic shelf label (100) can be paired with each other.
[0111] In step (S103) where the first customer code is transmitted to the electronic shelf label (100), referring to FIG. 6, information data of the first customer code stored in the memory (22) of the first user terminal (300) can be transmitted to the electronic shelf label (100).
[0112] For example, at step (S101), when the first user terminal (300) is paired with the electronic shelf label (100), information data of the first customer code can be automatically transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100). Steps (S103) and (S101) can be performed substantially simultaneously.
[0113] The first customer code may be a code that grants the user the authority to update product-related information provided from the server (200) to the first user terminal (300) when the user registers for membership through a product-related information editing application provided by the first user terminal (300). The first customer code may be a code that corresponds one-to-one to the first user terminal (300).
[0114] The information data of the first customer code transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100) may be stored in the memory included in the electronic shelf label (100). The first customer code may remain stored in the memory of the electronic shelf label (100) until deleted.
[0115] After the first customer code of the first user terminal (300) is transmitted to the electronic shelf label (100), pairing of the first user terminal (300) with the electronic shelf label (100) of a second user terminal (400) different from the first user terminal (300) may be blocked. For example, referring to FIG. 6, when the electronic shelf label (100) receives the first customer code from the first user terminal (300), even if another user presses the first button (1) and / or the second button (2) of the second user terminal (400), the electronic shelf label (100) may not receive a pairing signal from the second user terminal (400).
[0116] In addition, after the first customer code of the first user terminal (300) is transmitted to the electronic shelf label (100), the reception of the unique second customer code of the second user terminal (400) by the electronic shelf label (100) may be blocked. For example, referring to FIG. 6, when the electronic shelf label (100) receives the first customer code from the first user terminal (300), even if another user presses the first button (1) and / or the second button (2) of the second user terminal (400), the electronic shelf label (100) may not receive the second customer code from the second user terminal (400).
[0117] In this way, when the first customer code from the first user terminal (300) is transmitted and stored in the electronic shelf label (100) in step (S103), pairing between the second user terminal (300) and the electronic shelf label (100) is blocked, or reception of the second customer code of the second user terminal (300) by the electronic shelf label (100) is blocked, so that editing of product-related information by the second user terminal (300) can be blocked at the source.
[0118] In the step (S105) where the first user terminal (300) receives the first user input, the input module (24) of the first user terminal (300) can receive the first user input for editing product-related information displayed on the electronic shelf label (100).
[0119] A user can edit product-related information to be displayed on an electronic shelf label (100) through a product-related information editing environment provided through a product-related information editing application installed on a first user terminal (300).
[0120] For example, a template into which product-related information provided from a template database (16) of a server (200) can be input can be displayed on a first user terminal (300) through a product-related information editing application.
[0121] For example, referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, step (S105) may include a step (S1051) in which the first user terminal (300) displays a template editing UI (UI1), and a step (S1053) in which the first user terminal (300) receives a first user input through the template editing UI (UI1) and applies information according to the first user input to the template editing UI (UI1).
[0122] Referring to FIG. 8, in the step (S1051) where the first user terminal (300) displays a template editing UI (UI1), the template editing UI (UI1) that receives a user input for changing product-related information can be displayed through the display module (25) of the first user terminal (300).
[0123] The template editing UI (UI1) may include a basic template (T1) to which product information data can be applied. The basic template (T1) may be a template in which product information data has not yet been entered. Furthermore, the template editing UI (UI1) may include an editing board (EB) through which a user can enter changes to the product information data. Here, the product information data may include product-related information such as the Korean product name, English product name, country of origin, price, raw materials, and weight / calories.
[0124] The editing board (EB) can be configured to allow changes to product-related information, such as the product name, product sub-name, product discount rate, price, and discount price. For example, a user can input desired product information data into the editing board (EB) using the input module (24) of the first user terminal (300).
[0125] In step S1053 where the first user terminal (300) applies information based on the first user input to the template editing UI (UI1), the user can input desired product information data into the editing board (EB). The product information data input into the editing board (EB) can be applied to the basic template (T1), and accordingly, referring to FIG. 8, a change template (T2) displaying the product information data can be generated.
[0126] In the step (S107) where data of related information of a product changed according to the first user input is transmitted to the electronic shelf label (100), data of related information of a product changed to correspond to the first user input by the user can be transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100).
[0127] For example, data of product-related information may be transmitted from a first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100) according to user input via the first button (1) and / or the second button (2) included in the electronic shelf label (100).
[0128] In this case, referring to FIG. 9, after product-related information editing is completed through a product-related information editing application provided by the first user terminal (300), when the user presses the first button (1) and / or the second button (2) included in the electronic shelf label (100), data of product-related information can be transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100).
[0129] In this way, when the first customer code of the first user terminal (300) paired with the electronic shelf label (100) is stored in the electronic shelf label (100), and editing of product-related information through the first user terminal (300) is completed, the changed product-related information can be transmitted to the electronic shelf label (100) through a simple operation of the first button (1) and / or the second button (2) included in the electronic shelf label (100).
[0130] For example, data of a change template (T2) created through a template editing UI (UI1) in step (S105) can be transmitted from a first user terminal (300) to an electronic shelf label (100) according to a user input through a first button (1) and / or a second button (2) included in the electronic shelf label (100).
[0131] The electronic shelf label (100) can display product-related information changed according to user input based on data of product-related information received from the first user terminal (300) in a display area (DA) and provide the information to the user.
[0132] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 9, after the first customer code of the first user terminal (300) is transmitted to the electronic shelf label (100), the reception of data of information related to a product changed according to the second user input received by the second user terminal (400) different from the first user terminal (300) may be blocked by the electronic shelf label (100).
[0133] As described above, when the first customer code of the first user terminal (300) is stored in the electronic shelf label (100), not only is pairing of the second user terminal (400) with the electronic shelf label (100) blocked, but also the reception of information data related to the product changed through the second user terminal (400) by the electronic shelf label (100) is blocked, so that product editing by the second user terminal (400) that is different from the first user terminal (300) can be blocked at the source.
[0134] After editing product-related information through the first user terminal (300), a situation may arise where the pairing between the first user terminal (300) and the electronic shelf label (100) must be canceled. In this case, the pairing between the first user terminal (300) and the electronic shelf label (100) may be canceled through user input to the first user terminal (300).
[0135] For example, the method (S100) may further include a step in which the electronic shelf label (100) receives a pairing release signal for releasing pairing from the first user terminal (300) to the electronic shelf label (100) and a step in which a first customer code is deleted from the electronic shelf label (100).
[0136] In the step of receiving the pairing release signal of the method (S100), referring to FIG. 10, a user input interface for releasing the pairing of the electronic shelf label (100) is displayed on the first user terminal (300), and the pairing of the first user terminal (300) and the electronic shelf label (100) can be released according to a user input through the user input interface for releasing the pairing.
[0137] For example, referring to FIG. 10, a user input interface for releasing pairing of a first user terminal (300) with an electronic shelf label (100) may include an electronic shelf label deletion bar (EB1 to EB6) configured to receive a deletion input for an electronic shelf label (100) paired to the first user terminal (300) and an electronic shelf label search window (S1) capable of searching for the type of the electronic shelf label (100) paired to the first user terminal (300).
[0138] For example, a first user terminal (300) may be paired with a plurality of electronic shelf labels including a first electronic shelf label (ESL1), a second electronic shelf label (ESL2), a third electronic shelf label (ESL3), a fourth electronic shelf label (ESL4), a fifth electronic shelf label (ESL5), and a sixth electronic shelf label (ESL6), and a user input interface for unpairing displayed on the first user terminal (300) may include an electronic shelf label list (EL) including a plurality of electronic shelf label delete bars (EB1 to EB6) configured to receive a delete input for the plurality of electronic shelf labels.
[0139] For example, when a user clicks the first electronic shelf label deletion bar (EB1) displayed on the first user terminal (300), the pairing between the first user terminal (300) and the first electronic shelf label (ESL 1) can be released.
[0140] Likewise, when a user clicks on any one of the plurality of electronic shelf label deletion bars (EB1 to EB6) displayed on the first user terminal (300), the pairing between the first user terminal and the electronic shelf label corresponding to the clicked electronic shelf label deletion bar among the plurality of electronic shelf labels (ESL1 to ESL6) paired with the first user terminal (300) can be released.
[0141] In the step of deleting the first customer code from the electronic shelf label (100) of the method (S100), if the pairing between the electronic shelf label (100) and the first user terminal (300) is released, the first customer code stored in the electronic shelf label (100) may be automatically deleted. Accordingly, editing of product-related information displayed on the electronic shelf label (100) via the first user terminal (300) may be blocked.
[0142] In this way, after the first customer code of the first user terminal (300) is deleted from the electronic shelf label (100), pairing of the second user terminal (400) with the electronic shelf label (100) can be performed, and accordingly, editing of product-related information by the second user terminal (400) can be enabled.
[0143] For example, the method (S100) may further include a step of pairing a second user terminal (400) and an electronic shelf label (100) after a first customer code is deleted from the electronic shelf label (100), a step of transmitting a unique second customer code of the second user terminal (400) from the second user terminal (400) to the electronic shelf label (100), a step of receiving a second user input for editing product-related information from the second user terminal (400), and a step of transmitting data of product-related information changed according to the second user input from the second user terminal (400) to the electronic shelf label (100) paired with the second user terminal (400).
[0144] In this case, referring to FIG. 11, a pairing signal may be transmitted from the electronic shelf label (100) to the second user terminal (400), and a second customer code of the second user terminal (400) may be transmitted from the second user terminal (400) to the electronic shelf label (100).
[0145] The method by which the related information of a product is changed by the second user terminal (400) after the second user terminal (400) is paired with the electronic shelf label (100) and the second customer code of the second user terminal (400) is stored in the electronic shelf label (100) is substantially the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9, and therefore, a description thereof is omitted.
[0146] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 12, a first user terminal (300) and a plurality of electronic shelf labels (101, 103, 105, 107) are paired, and a first customer code of the first user terminal (300) can be transmitted to the plurality of electronic shelf labels (101, 103, 105, 107).
[0147] In this case, in step (S101) of method (S100), the first user terminal (300) can be paired with each of a plurality of electronic shelf labels (101, 103, 105, 107) including different first electronic shelf labels (101) and second electronic shelf labels (103).
[0148] Additionally, in step (S103), a first customer code can be transmitted from a first user terminal (300) to a plurality of electronic shelf labels (101, 103, 105, 107) including a first electronic shelf label (101) and a second electronic shelf label (103).
[0149] In addition, in step (S105), a 1-1 user input for editing related information of a first product assigned to a first electronic shelf label (101) and a 1-2 user input for editing related information of a second product different from the first product assigned to a second electronic shelf label (103) may be received. Similarly, in step (S105), a 1-3 user input for editing related information of a third product different from the first and second products assigned to a third electronic shelf label (105) and a 1-4 user input for editing related information of a fourth product different from the first to third products assigned to a fourth electronic shelf label (107) may be received.
[0150] In addition, in step (S107), referring to FIG. 13, data of related information of a first product changed according to a first-1 user input from a first user terminal (300) may be transmitted to a first electronic shelf label (101), and data of related information of a second product changed according to a first-2 user input may be transmitted to a second electronic shelf label (103). Similarly, in step (S107), data of related information of a third product changed according to a first-3 user input from a first user terminal (300) may be transmitted to a third electronic shelf label (105), and data of related information of a fourth product changed according to a first-4 user input may be transmitted to a fourth electronic shelf label (107).
[0151] In this case, data of related information of the first product may be transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the first electronic shelf label (101) in response to a user input via a button of the first electronic shelf label (101), and data of related information of the second product may be transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the second electronic shelf label (103) in response to a user input via a button of the second electronic shelf label (103). Similarly, data of related information of the third product may be transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the third electronic shelf label (105) in response to a user input via a button of the third electronic shelf label (105), and data of related information of the second product may be transmitted from the first user terminal (300) to the fourth electronic shelf label (107) in response to a user input via a button of the fourth electronic shelf label (107).
