Description
The present invention relates to an electronic price indicator group and an electronic price display system.
In order to display and sell a large number of items in a certain space, such as a distribution shop, labels for displaying information and prices of respective products are used. The most common types of labels used so far are the product information that is necessary for sales, mainly the price and discount information is handwritten on paper, or it is printed on paper and displayed near the product in accordance with the standardized format. .
However, in the case of using the paper label as described above, there is a problem that the time and efforts for such operation and replacement are required every time the price information of the product is changed.
Recently, an attempt has been made to replace existing paper labels with electronic price indicators using electronic devices based on the demands of the market. This is because communication and electronic display technologies can be used to change the aforementioned product information quickly, accurately and easily.
However, in a method of displaying one item of goods information on one electronic price indicator, the size of the electronic price indicator can not be appropriately utilized, so that it is possible to restrict the delivery of the goods information to the consumer. In addition, There is a problem in that the user can not output the necessary information at the proper time and location.
An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic price indicator group and an electronic price display system capable of displaying one product information in at least two adjacent electronic price indicators or displaying at least two goods information in one electronic price indicator will be.
The electronic price indicator group and the electronic price display system according to an embodiment of the present invention can display one product information in at least one adjacent electronic price indicator and divide one electronic price indicator into a plurality of products Information can be displayed.
The electronic price indicator group and the electronic price display system according to an embodiment of the present invention can increase the convenience of the user by controlling the output of the display unit of the electronic price indicator according to the needs of the user and use the display unit of the electronic price indicator more efficiently . In addition, attention to specific information can be enhanced.
In addition, by dividing or switching the screen of the electronic price indicator and outputting a plurality of pieces of information to the screen, it is advantageous from the viewpoint of costs, and more information can be provided to consumers.
