Abstract (en)
The invention provides for a system for assigning an address to an electronic price label (18A-18C) and which is not defined by the product (23, 25) to which the label is assigned. The invention also provides for a related method that includes the step of assigning a random number as the label address, or that includes the step of assigning a number of digits of a serial number associated with the label as the label address. The invention can therefore facilitate marking of common product types with more than one electronic price label. <IMAGE>
