- each item is assigned, via the data which concerns it, the identification code of the label associated with it.
- the alert message sent by the label will advantageously include the identification code and the data relating to the article in question, so that the portable device displays on its display screen the identification code of the issuing label and the data relating to the article on which the issuing label is attached.
- This portable device which can be directly worn by the user thus allows the latter to follow in real time the state of the stock and therefore the self-triggering of the various labels, without however being obliged to periodically check the shelves to check if a label has been triggered.
- the transmission circuit 4 and the antenna 3 of each of the labels will be suitable for transmitting messages with a range in free field of 50 to 800 m.
- the external device can be arranged outside the stocks.
- the microcomputer 13 of the external device can also include a table. allocation which includes in a third field ( Figure 5) data relating to the exact location of the item in the stock.
- the user searches through the database relating to the different identification codes of all the labels, for an identification code of a available label, i.e. a label which is not yet assigned to any of the articles and assigns this identification code in the first field of the allocation table. Then, the user enters the microcomputer by any means of acquisition such as a keyboard, the data relating to the article in question so that the microcomputer affects these data (task to be carried out, serial number of the article and / or type of article, etc.) in the second field in correspondence with the identification code of the label. And finally, the user enters in a third field of the allocation table the data relating to the exact location in which the article in question will be stored.
- the user then records the time data relating to the article in the memory 8 of the label by means of an interface 18 connected to the microcomputer 13, this interface 18 being engaged in the connection port 12 of the label.

- This box 16 is connected to an electronic processing unit 13 which is here constituted by a microcomputer.
- the computer 13 is provided with a database management system which is capable of carrying out virtual search operations from an allocation table.
- This allocation table may contain in a first field the identification code of the labels and in additional fields the data relating to the article on which the label is affixed.
- the user can carry out a virtual search for the article which he wishes to find by means of the database management system of the computer 13.
- This research Virtual can be performed according to criteria related to the data relating to the article recorded in fields of the allocation table.
- the computer 13 searches the table allocating the label identification code corresponding to the selected item.
- the identification code or codes are then transmitted to the housing 16 which then sends a coded search message containing the identification codes of the labels associated with the selected articles.
- the reception circuit 15 of each label transmits it to the microprocessor 5 which compares the identification code or codes contained in this search message with the identification code contained in the memory 8 of the label. For the label whose code has been selected, and only for this label, the identity between the code of the search message and the internal code of the label is noted, so that the microprocessor activates the transmission circuit 4 to send a return message to the external device 1.
- This return message sent by the selected label includes the label identification code so that the computer 13 verifies that the selected label, and therefore by Consequently, the article associated with it is present in the stock.
- the microprocessor 6 can also activate the means for locating said label in order to allow the user to more easily find the selected article. .
- the computer 13 When the tag selected by the search message does not send a coded return message to the computer 13 within a predetermined period of time, the computer 13 is then able to set off an alarm to warn the user that the item associated with the label is no longer in stock.
- each electronic label according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment may also include an on / off button which in particular makes it possible to switch off the labels when they are not assigned to an article.
- the time clock of the electronic tags is updated when the tag is powered up, for example using the connection port 12 connected to the microprocessor 6.
- the connection port 12 of the label can be deleted and in this case the recording of the different data in the memory of the label is done by remote recording means.
- the label may in particular comprise an antenna coil, a central unit and an electrically erasable and programmable memory which is connected to the central unit by means of a bus.
- the central unit performs the operations of demodulating an induced voltage in the coil for receiving data from the external device and the operations of modulating the load of the antenna coil for transmitting data to the external device.
- data can be read or written in the memory of the label via the central unit which provides the same commands as the central unit previously described.
