In this embodiment, in order to solve the above technical problem, an adaptation scheme is proposed at the gateway side, and specifically, the gateway performs alternate search broadcasting according to at least one preset communication protocol, and receives at least one price tag report message. The gateway presets at least one communication protocol, and performs polling broadcast through the communication protocol, so as to receive reported information sent by electronic price tag equipment which is not adapted or bound yet. In the process, because the newly added electronic price tag device or the electronic price tag device after the related module is updated independently is not adapted or bound with the gateway, the reporting information related to the respective device attribute is sent to the gateway in the initialization process of the electronic price tag device.
In this embodiment, the gateway receives at least one price tag report message, and records a price tag ID and a communication protocol corresponding to the price tag report message. It can be understood that, because the chip schemes adopted by the newly added electronic price tag device or the electronic price tag device after the related module is updated separately may be different from the existing electronic price tag device, the self-ID formats of the electronic price tag devices may also be different.

in this embodiment, the polling broadcast is performed according to the communication protocol included in the communication protocol packet, which can be understood that the polling broadcast adapts or binds to the message, so that the electronic price tag device that has not been adapted or bound performs corresponding message reporting;
optionally, the number of gateways used in the method is determined, and if the number of gateway data is greater than one, corresponding to the number of gateways, different gateways use firmware including different communication protocol packets, so that electronic price tag equipment is managed in groups through each gateway;
optionally, the number of gateways used in the method is determined, and if the number of gateway data is greater than one, corresponding different gateways all use firmware including different communication protocol packets, so that the adaptation flexibility of each gateway is improved, and all electronic price tag equipment management and control operations are performed by each gateway equipment conveniently;
