5 System Features
The XC-BM603 24-hour urban block self-service library
User Guide
10
can provide such functions as self-service book
borrowing/return, renewal, borrowing query, etc.
The XC-BM603 24-hour urban block self-service library,
according to the function modules and composition, can be
divided into rotational positioning subsystem, information
retrieval system, RFID subsystem – book identification and
borrowing/return management subsystem, management
software, unit shell, etc., with the integral logic structure
shown in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1 System Logic Structure
1) Self-service putting-on-shelf/off-shelf
The rotational positioning subsystem, by way of original
point determination, servo-driven positioning, etc., completes
User Guide
11
the accurate positioning of bookshelves, and sends the
designated shelf positions to the borrowing/return gate
precisely, so that readers can finish the self-service
putting-on-shelf/off-shelf action.
The implementation and utilization of this technology
has the following two advantages:
① After a reader has chosen to return a book, the system
will automatically allocate a spare shelf position and rotate it
to the borrowing/return gate for the reader to finish the
putting-on-shelf action. The book returned by this reader can
keep in circulation to the next reader, so as to effectively
reduce the times and quantity of replenishments to be made
by librarians, and effectively lower operation and
maintenance costs of the self-service library.
② The self-service opening/closing, relative to the
traditional complex mechanical opening/closing, enables the
system to provide higher reliability.
2) Closing safety protection
Grating Safety Detection: The equipment has set up
industrial safety protection gratings on two sides (up and
down) of the borrowing/return gate. When a reader is putting
User Guide
12
any book, as long as the book is not completely put into the
bookshelf, the bookshelf will not rotate, and the system will
keep giving prompts to the reader through voice and image,
until the book is completely put into the bookshelf, and then
the gate will be open.
The window glass is made of safe materials to ensure the
safety of the equipment and users.
3) Round window for dynamic book display
The round window is used for dynamic book display. All
the books that can be borrowed via the system can be
displayed in a dynamic manner, without cumbersome query or
time-consuming waiting. Readers can browse such
information as book name, author, size, thickness and
packaging in the most intuitive way, so that they can choose
their favorite books.
4) Internal environment & safety detection
The XC-BM603 24-hour urban block self-service library
system terminal and interior part are equipped with
temperature and humidity sensors for remote real-time
monitoring over the temperature and humidity status inside
the equipment.
5) Realize the graphical interface-based remote control
User Guide
13
function in the control center
In the control center, create a simulated image for each
self-service library system terminal to determine the working
status of the self-service library system according to the image
color changes. Each image corresponds to a remote
self-service library system terminal; just by clicking on the
corresponding icon, readers can easily check the details of a
self-service library system terminal, including all component
information, component operation, etc., and can also remotely
close or restart any self-service library system terminal
equipment.
6) System process protection & automatic restoration
functions
To ensure its long-term operation on a safe and reliable
basis, the system has been equipped with process protection
and automatic restoration functions. When the host restarts or
the process exits unexpectedly, the process can automatically
restart, with no need for human intervention, so as to greatly
improve the system’s service efficiency. The system also
provides the automatic restoration function against hardware
faults. When any equipment of the system suffers a fault, the
system will give a prompt of the fault information and stop
User Guide
14
service processing, and meanwhile, will attempt to
automatically restore the aforesaid equipment. When the
equipment is restored successfully, the system will resume the
business processing function; if the system’s attempt to
automatically restore the aforesaid equipment fails, the system
will power on for restart after data backup, so that upon
occurrence of any common fault, automatic restoration can be
realized without maintenance personnel appearing on site,
which can strengthen the system’s stability and reliability, and
effectively lower operation and maintenance costs.
7) Remote monitoring & system self-inspection functions
The system has been equipped with the equipment
self-inspection function to, on a fixed time, obtain equipment
information and send to the control center, and the control
center can also make active request for self-inspection
information of the equipment. The self-inspection information
enables an understanding of the detailed working status of
each self-service library system terminal, such as whether the
printer is out of paper, whether the temperature or humidity is
abnormal, etc., so that the management personnel can perform
remote monitoring over the working status of equipment
hardware, and can develop appropriate maintenance strategies
User Guide
15
according to the working status.
8) Flexible configuration requirements
The single self-service library system terminal structure
adopts modular design, which can split or assembled quickly,
can support overall or partial deployment according to the
implementation site, and can, as per the request of the
managing party, add publicity and advertising functions such
as display, instruction, framework, etc., on the basis of the
existing equipment.
