Patent Images
1. An electronic bag tag that is configured to display bag tag data received from a first external source, the electronic bag tag comprising miniaturized electronics comprising:
- a processor configured to process the bag tag data to obtain processed bag tag data;
a wireless communication interface communicatively connected to the processor and configured to receive the bag tag data from the first external source;
a non-volatile memory communicatively connected to the processor and configured to store the bag tag data and/or processed bag tag data;
a first display a second display each configured to display at least a part of the processed bag tag data, andwherein the non-volatile memory is preconfigured with one or more templates and wherein the processor is configured to select a template from the one or more templates for displaying the at least part of the processed bag tag data on at least one of the first display and the second display using the template.
