6. A visual directional electronic system comprising
an object marker associated with an object, the object marker being operatively configured to store information indicative of the identity of the object; -
a plurality of location markers each positioned at one of a plurality of locations and operatively configured to store information associable with the location of the location marker;
electronic signage comprising a display operatively configured to visually display directional information;
an interrogator having detection circuitry capable of detecting location markers;
a processor operatively connected to the interrogator and the electronic signage, the processor being operatively configured to receive input from as to the identity of an object from the object marker, and to receive input in respect of one or more items and to determine a spatial relationship between at least one location marker and the object, and to cause change in directional information displayed on the display of the electronic signage based on such spatial relationship. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
