US 2026/0222783 A1 · SMART STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE STORAGE, IDENTIFICATION, AND CONFIGURATION

Abstract

A system for identifying and configuring one or more electronic devices arranged on a support structure is provided. The support structure may be a pallet, a point-of-sale display stand, or a storage module. The system includes a support structure controller and one or more support structure transceivers associated with the support structure. The support structure controller includes a memory storing device identification data and device configuration data. The support structure transceivers are communicatively coupled to the support structure controller. The one or more support structure transceivers are each configured to (1) transmit an RFID activation signal to the one or more electronic devices, (2) receive the device identification data transmitted by the one or more electronic devices in response to receiving the RFID activation signal, and (3) transmit the device configuration data to the one or more electronic devices.
