An electronic product identifier system is provided for use with a product
storage area adapted to store more than one type of product. The
electronic product identifier system has a display adapted to present
product information for more than one product along a length of the
storage area. Each product has an electronic product identifier. An
electromagnetic sensing circuit is provided having at least one
transmitter for transmitting polling electromagnetic fields so that the
electronic product identifier associated with each product can generate a
response. The electromagnetic sensing circuit further has at least one
receiver for receiving each responsive electromagnetic signal at two
separated sensing locations. A location circuit determines a location of
each responsive electronic product identifier using the electromagnetic
signals received; a data interface determines product information for
each product type; and a display controller causes product information to
be presented proximate to products of that type.
