Camera based location commissioning of electronic shelf labels

Commissioning device for use in commissioning an electronic shelf label position, the commissioning device comprising:

• a first camera for acquiring images relative to the commissioning device,
• a display for providing visual feedback to a commissioner,
• a wireless transmitter for transmitting an electronic shelf label identifier and position information from the commissioning device to a system back-end, and
• a processing device arranged to process the images wherein the commissioning device is arranged to:
• acquire a first set of images comprising an electronic shelf label and
• extract an electronic shelf label identifier from the first set of images and a relative position of the electronic shelf label relative to the commissioning device,
• acquire a second set of images comprising a luminaire emitting coded light,
• extract a relative position of the luminaire (100) relative to the commissioning device from the second set of images,
• transmit the electronic shelf label identifier and the position information to the system back-end, the position information based on:
• the relative position of the electronic shelf label relative to the commissioning device and
• the relative position of the luminaire relative to the commissioning device in order to enable the association of the electronic shelf label identifier with the position of the electronic shelf label.

Method for commissioning an electronic shelf label position using a commissioning device and a system backend, wherein the method comprises:

• the commissioning device acquiring a first set of images comprising an electronic shelf label,
• the commissioning device extracting an electronic shelf label identifier from the first set of images and a relative position of the electronic shelf label relative to the commissioning device,
• the commissioning device acquiring a second set of images comprising a luminaire emitting coded light,
• the commissioning device extracting a relative position of the luminaire relative to the commissioning device from the second set of images,
• the commissioning device transmitting the electronic shelf label identifier and the position info ration to the system back-end, the position information based on:
• the relative position of the electronic shelf label relative to the commissioning device and
• the relative position of the luminaire relative to the commissioning device,
• receiving the electronic shelf label identifier and the position information by the system back-end and
• storing the association of the electronic shelf label identifier and the position information.
