Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Electronic shelf labels (ESLs) can be placed on shelves to di splay information associated with objects placed on the shelves. The information frequently includes product identifiers and product pricing information.” In addition to obtaining background information on this patent, NewsRx editors a lso obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent: “Described in d etail herein are methods and systems for an electronic shelf label system. Embod iments of the present invention use an ESL affixed to a shelf facing to assist s tock associates in managing products on the shelf. More particularly, embodiment s enable step-by-step instructions and/or graphical depictions displayed on a di splay screen of the ESL to guide a stock associate in arranging products on the shelf. The products on the shelf may be arranged based on a planogram generated from a range of criteria including historical profit and loss data, inventory data, supply and demand data and/or labor cost data. The planogram is a diagram th at shows how and where specific retail products should be placed on the various shelves in the facility order to increase customer purchases. The planogram may be based on an x and y coordinate system to show product locations in the facili ty and may include a z axis (vertical dimension) to account for multiple shelves in the same location. The instructions for shelf management may be developed so as to minimize the amount of operations performed by the stock associate when t ransitioning the shelf from a first arrangement to an optimized arrangement and to minimize the time required by the stock associate or other stocking resource, such as a robotic stocker, to perform the arrangement. Real-time feedback may b e provided via cameras that acquire images of product placement and movement and adjust graphical depictions and instructions on the ESL accordingly.
