The price display unit of this scheme lags behind the one used in the IR system, and the use of the company using the low-frequency wireless signal method almost always simplifies the transmission procedure. Therefore, the development of other aspects is actually stagnant. Currently, the units on the market are almost only number-based units, and the developing price unit uses up to 15 characters and simple signs. The IR approach is the best-selling system, and the first user and market leader, Pricer AB, has developed several different units for the retail system.

The use of IR requires a lot of hardware and networking equipment, making the solution very expensive. The system itself works well' but needs its own database/PC/hub, capital, library/PC/hub located outside the store p〇S system, which is often considered negative by many stores. The store's POS system is the “heart and main pulsation” of the store. The confusion of this system directly affects individual stores and supply chains. That is, many people worry that external data units will be connected to and get information from the POS system. In addition, program developers are often reluctant to let others connect to their own developed p〇s system. ~ The price display unit developed to the IR system is the most modern in the entire ESL market. In the ®, the word, its basic/standard unit can display a limited number of lines of text (2 X 12 words) ^ The last developed unit is allowed in The use of text on the label is more widely used and makes it possible to use simple black and white logos. The wafer is based on a dot matrix. The proposed solution can be based on the communication of the POS of the store/supply chain itself via the local area network and use the ZigBee module 2 installed in the individual display or screen unit and use the Near Field Communication (NFC) for customer communication. . This solution is simple to install and provides secure, stable communication. "NFC is a new small-scale wireless connectivity technology developed with a combination of contactless identification and interconnect technology. Built-in NFC products simplify the way cells communicate with each other. . Today's method operates at 13.56 MHz and transmits data at speeds of up to 424 Kbits 5 201030625 per second, resulting in direct, simple, and secure communication between NFCs. NFC is a technology that combines "reading" and "writing." When two NPC compatible units are within a range of 4 cm in radius, the two can communicate, and a simple wave or touch can establish an NFC link. And thus is compatible with other known wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi_R (Wireless Compatible Authentication). The basis of NPC technology conforms to the ISO, ECMA, and ETSI standards for international use. Due to the small scope, the business using NpC is inherently safe. In addition, the unit-to-reader physical distance gives the messenger control over the program. An NFC can be used with many different units to send images to the TV from the mobile phone that provides payment or transfer information to the mobile phone. Digital cameras have unlimited possibilities, and NFC is absolutely capable of coping with today's increasingly sophisticated customer units and making them easier to use.

In order to provide power to the display H 12, they can be mounted on a conductive track 50 provided on the edge of the shelf 14. The conductive track 50 can be provided with a magnet 54 to secure the display, and the conductive track 50 can be provided with a conductive n 52. In this manner, several electronic displays are detachably inserted and assembled into the track. In addition to the magnet 54, the electronic display 12 can also include a snap lock to bond and secure the display to the track, and the conductive track 5 is powered by an external power source. θ, another important feature of the invention is the ability to monitor the flaws of the central server 14 so that the output of the second party software associated with the price and sales information can be monitored and transmitted directly to the selected electronic display 12 instead of enabling the data. Pass through several networks and units before displaying it to customers. In a standard IR mode, more management equipment, several types of scanners, bar code label printers, and new price display units are updated and activated. The data architecture in a standard way can include several external servers, such as front-end servers, price servers, web servers, and corporate support servers. In addition, the base station communicates with a number of infrared transmitters, and the infrared transmitter communicates with individual price display units. In summary, the job of changing the price display unit must save considerable energy by directly transmitting data to the electronic display 12, 12a via a number of networks and units before being displayed to customers in the store. 201030625 A central server can therefore include an output port that monitors the p〇s track, which transmits data directly to the selected electronic display 12, 12a, 4 via network 26 to update and display the price and other relevant information. If necessary, the method can of course use ^ his existing POS method. The computer can be monitored using any type of device or software, which is known to the industry and therefore does not specify the device or software. small cicada
