20080204672 | Display shelf and display shelf system - A display shelf system includes a display shelf, which includes a plurality of placing tables which are adapted to have an article placed thereon. A plurality of transmission-type screens are arranged with the placing tables, respectively. A projector projects a projector image, and a light guide of the display shelf leads the projector image onto the rear sides of the transmission-type screens. The transmission-type screens have curved surfaces which are inclined to face toward a lateral direction with respect to a front of the display shelf, so that the transmission-type screens are easily viewable by viewers who are in the lateral directions of the display shelf. | 08-28-2008 |
20090251386 | MENU SHEET - A base sheet has a menu surface for writing a menu. An information display section is attached to the base sheet and displays content of display data. A receiving section receives display data transmitted by an information transmitting apparatus. A storing section stores display data. A control section causes the storing section to store the display data received by the receiving section and causes the information display section to display the display data stored by the storing section. | 10-08-2009 |
20090254419 | INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND SERVER - An information display system includes plural display devices and a server. The plural display devices are arranged in a selling floor space. The display devices include measuring units. The measuring units measure environment characteristics and generate environment information based on results of the measurement. The display devices transmit the generated environment information to the server. The server generates environment distribution information of the selling floor space from the received environment information and position information of the respective display devices. The server distributes the environment distribution information to the respective display devices. The display devices display commodity information and the delivered environment distribution information together. | 10-08-2009 |
20090295749 | COMMODITY INFORMATION DISPLAY APPARATUS - A display or a display terminal includes a display panel. The display panel displays commodity information of commodities displayed in a store. A touch panel is stacked and arranged on a display surface of the display panel. An RFID reader reads administrator information stored in an authentication card. When a microcomputer determines that the administrator information is read, the microcomputer changes a mode of the display or the display terminal from a normal mode to a changing mode. In the normal mode, display content of the display panel is not changed even if the touch panel is touched and designated. In the changing mode, the display content of the display panel is switched according to the touch and designation on the touch panel. When the touch panel is touched and designated under the changing mode, the microcomputer switches display content of a display area corresponding to a touched and designated coordinate between normal display for displaying only the commodity information and special display for displaying sold-out information together with the commodity information. | 12-03-2009 |
20100245085 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus includes: a shelf-label control unit connected to plural shelf label terminals, which are arranged in predetermined positions in a store, and configured to transmit instruction information for instructing predetermined operation to each of the shelf label terminals; an information collecting unit connected to the plural sensor terminals, which are arranged in the predetermined positions in the store, and configured to collect environment information around the arrangement positions acquired by the sensor terminals; and a collection control unit configured to cause the information collecting unit to start the collection of the environment information with response information from the shelf label terminals, which responds to an instruction signal transmitted from the shelf-label control unit, as a trigger. | 09-30-2010 |
20100328615 | DISPLAY SHELF AND DISPLAY SHELF SYSTEM - Transmission-type screens are placed corresponding to a display board at a front area of the display board, on which an article is placed. Each of the screens transmits and projects a projector image luminous flux projected from a backside of the screens to a front side of the screens. When the projector image luminous flux is projected from the backside of the screens, each of inner circumferences which defines a space including an image projecting space for leading the projector image luminous flux to the backside of the screens without obstruction. A display shelf might have a projector and a computer. The projector projects the projector image luminous flux. The display shelf might have a reflecting mirror which lead the projector image flux to the screens. | 12-30-2010 |
20110199585 | DISPLAY SHELF WITH A PLURALITY OF PLACING TABLES - A display shelf system includes a display shelf, which includes a plurality of placing tables which are adapted to have an article placed thereon. A plurality of transmission-type screens are arranged with the placing tables, respectively. A projector projects a projector image, and a light guide of the display shelf leads the projector image onto the rear sides of the transmission-type screens. The transmission-type screens have curved surfaces which are inclined to face toward a lateral direction with respect to a front of the display shelf, so that the transmission-type screens are easily viewable by viewers who are in the lateral directions of the display shelf. | 08-18-2011 |
20110205500 | DISPLAY SHELF AND DISPLAY SHELF SYSTEM FOR PROJECTING PROJECTOR IMAGES DISPLAYING INFORMATION ABOUT ARTICLES - Transmission-type screens are placed corresponding to a display board at a front area of the display board, on which an article is placed. Each of the screens transmits and projects a projector image luminous flux projected from a backside of the screens to a front side of the screens. When the projector image luminous flux is projected from the backside of the screens, each of inner circumferences which defines a space including an image projecting space for leading the projector image luminous flux to the backside of the screens without obstruction. A display shelf might have a projector and a computer. The projector projects the projector image luminous flux. The display shelf might have a reflecting mirror which lead the projector image flux to the screens. | 08-25-2011 |
20110261073 | IMAGE DISPLAY CONTROLLER FOR DISPLAY SHELF - An image display controller for a display shelf generates image data for a projector image which is projected by a projector arranged in the display shelf to be displayed on a transmission-type screen of the display shelf. The image display controller includes a monitor, an input device, a data communicator, a memory, and a controller. The controller obtains an editing background image from the memory and displays the editing background image on the monitor, and generates contents of a display image. Moreover, the controller sets a position of the generated display image in a desired position of a display area of the editing background image in response to an instruction inputted via the input device, and generates the projector image by combining the generated display image into the editing background image at the set position. | 10-27-2011 |
