The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a robot provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] The robot is a mobile service robot. For example, it can be a delivery robot. As Figure 1As shown, the robot is configured with a display device, which can be a touch display screen. The robot is also configured with a book storage compartment for collecting paper books, and various types of books or a certain number of books can be placed in the book storage compartment. For example, the book storage compartment can be a drawer structure. The robot is also configured with a lighting device. Optionally, the lighting device is an LED lamp, and the robot can control the light output effect of the lighting device to adjust the ambient light.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flowchart of a book management method based on a robot provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In the first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a book management method based on a robot is proposed. The execution subject of the book management method is a terminal device (for example, a robot as shown in Figure 1 ). The book management method based on the robot includes the following steps S21 - S23:

[0055] Step S21: Display the book names in the book catalog and the book introductions corresponding to the book names to the user based on the display device of the robot.

[0056] The robot is a mobile service robot, and the robot body is configured with a display device for human - machine interaction between the robot and the user. For example, the display device is a touch display screen, and the display device includes a display area, in which a plurality of touch options are configured. When the user clicks on a touch option, a corresponding instruction will be triggered to control the robot to execute the corresponding instruction. The book catalog is used to record multiple book names and the book introductions corresponding to the book names. The book introduction can include a few preview pages excerpted from the book, a preface, an abstract, or user reviews after reading, etc. For example, a book name is "Patent Examination Guidelines", and the book introduction of "Patent Examination Guidelines" can be a few preview pages excerpted from "Patent Examination Guidelines" (for example, pages 82 - 83), or the user's experience after reading "Patent Examination Guidelines". Another example, another book name is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the book introduction of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be a few preview pages excerpted from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (for example, pages 67 - 68), etc. Of course, in an application scenario, a variety of books can be collected, not limited to the examples cited above, and can include literature books, entertainment books, etc.

[0057] In this embodiment, a book catalog is configured in the display window of the display device. The book catalog contains multiple book names. When the user clicks on the "book name" option, the book introduction corresponding to the book name will pop up. Of course, there are still various display methods for the interface content, and the present invention does not make any restrictions. The user realizes human - machine interaction with the robot through the display device, searches and browses each book name in the book catalog and the book introduction corresponding to the book name on the display device.

[0058] Step S22: Obtain the borrowing instruction determined by the user based on the book name and / or book introduction, where the borrowing instruction includes the target book name.

[0059] The display window of the display device is configured with a "borrow" option. After the user selects the target book name and then clicks the "borrow" option, a borrowing instruction is formed, which includes the target book name. The robot can perform subsequent actions according to the borrowing instruction. Or, after the user selects the book introduction corresponding to the target book name and then clicks the "borrow" option, a borrowing instruction is formed, which includes the target book name corresponding to the book introduction. The robot can perform subsequent actions according to the borrowing instruction.

[0060] Step S23: Search for the physical book corresponding to the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction, and deliver the physical book to the user through the robot.

[0061] The robot is provided with a book storage grid for collecting physical books. The preset bookshelf is a bookshelf set at a fixed position in the application scenario and is used for collecting physical books. For example, when the application scenario is a hotel scenario, a preset bookshelf is fixedly set in the front desk hall inside the hotel, and the robot can achieve autonomous positioning and navigation inside the hotel. The robot searches for the collection location of the physical book corresponding to the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the target book name included in the borrowing instruction. After obtaining the collection location of the physical book, it obtains the physical book at the collection location and delivers the physical book to the user to achieve book borrowing or selling.

[0062] In this embodiment, both the robot and the preset bookshelf are set in the application scenario, which can not only realize the mobile collection, borrowing or selling of physical books based on the mobile performance of the robot, but also realize the fixed collection, borrowing or selling of physical books based on the fixedly set preset bookshelf, thus facilitating the user to borrow or purchase the physical books in this application scenario and meeting the diversified reading needs of people.

[0063] Further, based on the embodiment of a robot-based book management method provided in the first aspect, step S21, the step of the robot-based display device showing the book names in the book catalog and the book introductions corresponding to the book names to the user includes the following steps S211 - S212:

[0064] Step S211: Obtain the physical books collected in the robot and the physical books collected in the preset bookshelf, and make a book catalog according to the obtained books, where the book catalog includes multiple book names and the book introductions corresponding to each book name.

[0065] In this embodiment, the paper books in the application scenario (hotel) are all collected in the robot or a preset bookshelf. First, the robot obtains the paper books collected in the robot or the paper books collected in the preset bookshelf. Secondly, according to the obtained books, a corresponding book name and a book introduction corresponding to this book name are made for each book, and this book name and book introduction are added to the book catalog to realize the inclusion of new books. Optionally, the book catalog contains multiple types of books, and the number of each type of book is multiple. The book types include literature, novels, magazines or other types.

[0066] Step S212, based on the display device of the robot, display at least some of the book names in the book catalog and the book introductions corresponding to the book names as needed.

[0067] The display device is a touch display screen, and at least some of the book names in the book catalog and the book introductions corresponding to the book names are displayed on the display device. Optionally, when the number of book names in the book catalog is huge, it is impossible to display all of them at one time on the display device. 10 book names in the book catalog can be displayed on the display device, and the remaining book names can be further displayed by opening the folding option. In this embodiment, the number of book names displayed at one time on the display device and the book introductions corresponding to the displayed book names can be determined according to the size of the display window of the display device or the user's browsing needs. Alternatively, the user can trigger the expansion of the book introduction corresponding to this "book name" by clicking on the "book name".

[0068] In this embodiment, based on the robot with mobility, all the paper books collected in the application scenario are presented to the user. The user can first find the electronic version of the books they like through searching and browsing. That is, first obtain the basic information of the book through web preview. After determining the interested book, then obtain the corresponding paper book based on the robot. In this way, it is convenient for the user to find the interested paper book.

[0069] Furthermore, in order to enrich the resources of the paper books in this application scenario, the book management method based on the robot of the present invention further includes the following steps S201-S203:

[0070] Step S201, receive the first paper book donated to the robot or the preset bookshelf, and add the book name of the first paper book and the book introduction corresponding to the first paper book to the book catalog to update the type and quantity of the books, where the book name corresponding to the first paper book is not within the scope of the book catalog before the update.

[0071] In this embodiment, both the robot and the preset bookshelf have the function of receiving the donated first paper book, and can add the received first paper book to the book catalog, so as to enrich the types and quantities of paper books in the application scenario. The book name corresponding to the first paper book is not within the scope of the book catalog before the update. That is to say, the first paper book is a new book compared with the existing collected books. By adding new books in this way, the types and quantities of paper books in the application scenario are enriched. Understandably, other users can borrow or purchase the paper books in the book catalog at the robot or the preset bookshelf.

[0072] For example, user A finds that neither the robot nor the preset bookshelf has collected the book "Patent Examination Guidelines". After that, user A can donate a copy of "Patent Examination Guidelines" at the robot end or the preset bookshelf end. The robot can scan and obtain the paper document of "Patent Examination Guidelines", extract the book name as "Patent Examination Guidelines", and use the few preview pages obtained by scanning as the book introduction of "Patent Examination Guidelines". Add the book name "Patent Examination Guidelines" and the few preview pages in "Patent Examination Guidelines" as the book introduction to the book catalog, so as to collect one more book in the book catalog.

[0073] Step S202: Receive the user's message requirement and purchase the paper book required in the message requirement according to the message requirement.

[0074] Step S203: After purchasing the paper book required in the message requirement, add the book name of the newly purchased paper book and the corresponding book introduction to the book catalog to update the types and quantities of books.

[0075] The user's message requirement refers to the user's message at the robot end or the preset bookshelf end, which is a requirement or evaluation of the paper book. Optionally, a message board is configured on the display window of the robot display device, and the user can record the user's message requirement on the message board through the touch keyboard or voice. For example, the message requirement is "need a paper copy of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'" or "need a paper copy of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'", etc. Obtain the user's message requirement on the message board and determine the book name of the paper book required to be purchased in the message requirement (for example, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"), then purchase a new copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" online or arrange for staff to purchase it offline. After purchasing the paper book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", add "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a new book to the book catalog to update the types and quantities of books. Optionally, the preset bookshelf is provided with a scanning device, and the scanning device is communicatively connected to the robot, and the scanning data obtained by the scanning device is shared with the robot.

[0076] In this embodiment, the robot or the preset bookshelf can not only receive the books donated by users, but also purchase the desired physical books in a timely manner according to the users' interest needs or reading sharing, so as to meet the borrowing needs of the physical books customized by users. Moreover, the physical books donated by users or the physical books ordered according to interest needs can be retained in the application scenario (such as the hotel scenario) to continue to provide borrowing services for others, so as to increase the sustainable reuse value of the physical books and provide convenience for others.

[0077] Further, the book management method based on the robot of the present invention further includes the following steps: collecting the post-reading evaluation content made by the user for the second physical book after reading the second physical book, and updating the book introduction corresponding to the second physical book according to the post-reading evaluation content, wherein the book name corresponding to the second physical book is within the scope of the book catalog.

[0078] The user can read the second physical book within the application scenario. The second physical book is the book borrowed by the user within the application scenario, and the book name corresponding to the second physical book is within the scope of the book catalog. After the user reads the second physical book, the user can make post-reading evaluation content. The book introduction also includes the post-reading evaluation content, and the book introduction corresponding to the second physical book is updated according to the post-reading evaluation content.

[0079] That is to say, after the user borrows the physical book within this application scenario, the user can evaluate the read book. This post-reading evaluation content can be used for the book introduction, and the book introduction can be displayed externally for the purpose of recommending this book to other users. For example, the second physical book is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After user B borrows "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", user B believes that the chapter "Cao Cao Invites Liu Bei for a Drink and Discusses Heroes" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is relatively excellent. User B can write a book review on this chapter content and use the book review content as the book introduction. After other users see this post-reading evaluation content, they are also likely to be attracted by user B's post-reading evaluation content and thus want to borrow "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". That is to say, in this embodiment, after the user reads the relevant book, the user can share his or her experience, so as to attract other readers and achieve the effect of sharing reading experiences together. Further, other users can reply and interact with user B's post-reading evaluation content to realize the mutual sharing of reading experiences among users, so as to achieve the collision of ideas and thus promote everyone's enthusiasm for reading.

[0080] Further, based on the embodiment of the robot-based book management method proposed in the above first aspect, before step S23 of searching for the paper book corresponding to the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf and delivering the paper book to the user through the robot, the robot-based book management method of the present invention further includes the following steps S2031-S2034:

[0081] Step S2031, obtain the book attribute of the paper book corresponding to the target book name, where the book attribute includes paid reading and free reading.

[0082] The book attribute is used to identify the type of the book. For example, the book attribute includes paid reading and free reading. In this embodiment, by presetting the corresponding book attribute for each paper book, the corresponding type is marked for each book. For example, inside a hotel, some books are for paid reading, and some books are free of charge and for free reading.

[0083] Based on the book attribute of the paper book corresponding to the target book name, determine whether the paper book corresponding to the target book name is a book type that requires paid reading or a book type that is free of charge and for free reading.

[0084] Step S2032, when the book attribute of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is paid reading, request the user to pay the corresponding reading fee.

[0085] In this embodiment, when the book attribute of the paper book is paid reading, it means that the corresponding reading fee needs to be paid before the user can borrow it.

[0086] For example, the paper book corresponding to the target book name is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the book attribute preset for it in advance is paid reading. Optionally, the book attribute can be switched between paid reading and free reading according to needs. For example, when "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not consulted by anyone or only a few people are interested, and the collection quantity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is sufficient, at this time, the book attribute of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be modified to free reading to promote the circulation of the paper book among the crowd. However, when the collection quantity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is small and many people want to borrow it, in order to reasonably control the borrowing rush, the book attribute of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be modified to paid reading, and the corresponding reading fee can be determined according to the actual situation, such as the reading fee for one-time borrowing is 0.3 yuan or 0.5 yuan, etc.

[0087] When the user wants to borrow "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a request option of "Pay the corresponding reading fee" can be popped up through the display window of the robot display device. Based on the request option of "Pay the corresponding reading fee", the user pays the corresponding fee to the book operator (for example, the book operator is the hotel). After that, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be lent to the user.

[0088] Step S2033, if the user pays the corresponding reading fee, then execute the step of searching for the corresponding paper book of the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction, and delivering the paper book to the user through the robot and subsequent steps.

[0089] After receiving the corresponding reading fee paid by the user, then execute step S23, search for the corresponding paper book of the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction, and deliver the paper book to the user through the robot and subsequent steps. That is, after the user pays the corresponding reading fee at one end of the robot according to the payment requirement, the robot starts to search for the corresponding paper book of the target book name and delivers the paper book to the user through the robot.

[0090] Step S2034, if the user does not pay the corresponding reading fee, then do not execute the step of searching for the corresponding paper book of the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction, and delivering the paper book to the user through the robot and subsequent steps.

[0091] It can be understood that when the book attribute of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is paid reading and the user does not pay the corresponding reading fee, then step S23 is not executed, and the steps of searching for the corresponding paper book of the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction, and delivering the paper book to the user through the robot and subsequent steps are not executed. That is, when the user does not pay the corresponding reading fee according to the payment requirement, the robot will not search for the corresponding paper book of the target book name for the user, let alone deliver it to the user through the robot. Optionally, the user can return to the upper menu and browse other books in the book catalog, and can borrow paper books that do not require payment.

[0092] In this embodiment, the book attribute of each book collected in the book catalog is preset in advance, and the books are divided into books that need to be paid for reading and books that can be read for free according to different book attributes. In this way, the supply-demand relationship can be reasonably adjusted, while effectively protecting the book copyright, more additional revenues can be created for the application scenario.

[0093] Furthermore, the book management method based on the robot of the present invention further includes the following steps S2035-step S2036:

[0094] Step S2035, when the book attribute of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is paid reading and the user pays the corresponding reading fee, the on-site selling price of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is adjusted according to the reading fee obtained for each borrowing; or, when the book attribute of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is free reading and the user completes the borrowing, the on-site selling price of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is adjusted according to the number of borrowings.

[0095] In this embodiment, the paper books collected in this application scenario (such as a hotel) can be used for on-site sales. Users can not only borrow paper books in the application scenario, but also purchase the paper books after borrowing or the paper books they are interested in. Since the paper books are lent to users in the application scenario, the book operator (such as a hotel) obtains the corresponding reading fee. In order to further promote the circulation of paper books among users or satisfy the users' desire to possess paper books, the paper books after borrowing can also be sold. Optionally, the on-site selling price of the paper book can be determined according to the number of borrowings and the reading fee obtained from borrowing. For example, the price of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is 83 yuan. After 5 paid borrowings, the on-site selling price of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be adaptively reduced. For example, the on-site selling price of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" after the price reduction is 80.5 yuan.

[0096] Similarly, when the book attribute of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is free reading and the user completes the borrowing, the on-site selling price of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is reduced or increased according to the number of borrowings.

[0097] Step S2036, if the user pays the on-site selling price of the paper book corresponding to the target book name, the paper book corresponding to the target book name is sold to the user.

[0098] In this embodiment, the paper books can be sold. Optionally, the book types of the paper books can also be divided into two types: sellable and unsellable. Among the sellable paper books, when borrowed, the selling price of the paper book is adaptively adjusted according to the income obtained from borrowing and the number of borrowings to accelerate the circulation of the paper books and increase the revenue of the book operator. When the paper book corresponding to the target book name is of the sellable book type and the user has paid the on-site selling price corresponding to the paper book, the paper book corresponding to the target book name can be sold to the user for use.

[0099] Further, on the basis of the implementation of the robot-based book management method proposed in the above first aspect, the robot-based book management method of the present invention is applied to a hotel scenario. The hotel scenario includes a robot and a preset bookshelf. The robot can be used to collect paper books, and the preset bookshelf can be used to collect paper books. That is, in the hotel scenario, not only is there a preset bookshelf at a fixed position, but also a movable robot is provided. Among them, the robot can not only be used to display e-books, but also to collect paper books, and is also used to deliver paper books to users. The robot realizes autonomous positioning and navigation in the hotel scenario.

[0100] Step S23, the step of searching for the paper book corresponding to the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction and delivering the paper book to the user through the robot includes the following steps S231 - S233:

[0101] Step S231, according to the target book name included in the borrowing instruction, search for the collection location of the paper book corresponding to the target book name, where the collection location includes the robot and the preset bookshelf.

[0102] The paper book can be collected in the book storage grid of the robot or the preset bookshelf. That is, there are two collection locations in the application scenario, namely the robot and the preset bookshelf.

[0103] The borrowing instruction includes the target book name. For example, the target book name is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". According to the target book name, the collection location of the paper book corresponding to the target book name can be found. Optionally, when adding a new collection of a paper book, the book name of the paper book, the book introduction corresponding to the book name, and the collection location of the paper book can be used as a record information and added to the book catalog. Based on the book catalog, it is easy to find the collection location of the paper book corresponding to the target book name. The collection location may be the book storage grid of the robot, or it may be the preset bookshelf, or it may be located in the book storage grid of the robot and the preset bookshelf respectively.

[0104] Step S232, if the collection location of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is the robot, then open the book storage grid of the robot for collecting paper books to deliver the paper book corresponding to the target book name to the user.

[0105] Step S233, if the collection location of the paper book corresponding to the target book name is the preset bookshelf, then control the robot to go to the preset bookshelf to obtain the paper book corresponding to the target book name and deliver the paper book to the user.

[0106] Locate the storage position of the physical book corresponding to the target book name according to the book catalog. If the storage position of the physical book corresponding to the target book name is the book storage grid of the robot, then open the book storage grid of the robot for storing physical books to distribute the physical book corresponding to the target book name to the user. That is, when the user browses and searches for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the robot side, and the physical book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is exactly located locally on the robot, at this time, the book storage grid of the robot can be opened to distribute "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the user, achieving the effect of quick search and delivery. Additionally, if the storage position of the physical book corresponding to the target book name is the preset bookshelf, then control the robot to go to the preset bookshelf. The robot makes a path plan based on its current position and the position of the preset bookshelf, and performs positioning and navigation to the preset bookshelf based on the output path. At the preset bookshelf, the physical book corresponding to the target book name can be grabbed by the staff or by the robotic arm configured on the robot and placed into the book storage grid of the robot, and then distributed to the current position of the user. In this way, the entire distribution process is completed.

[0107] In this embodiment, the book storage grid of the robot or the preset bookshelf can be used to store physical books, thereby expanding the storage scope of physical books to facilitate the quick distribution of physical books to the user's hands. The robot will obtain the corresponding physical book according to the storage position of the physical book corresponding to the target book name and distribute it to the user. Based on the intelligent search and distribution service of the robot, the user does not need to search by himself, thus saving search time and facilitating the user to obtain the accurate physical book to enhance the intelligent service experience.

[0108] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the robot is also equipped with a lighting device. Optionally, the lighting device is an LED lamp. Step S23, after the step of searching for the physical book corresponding to the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction and distributing the physical book to the user through the robot, the book management method based on the robot of the present invention further includes the following steps S234 - S235:

[0109] Step S234, obtain the lighting control instruction input by the user.

[0110] Step S235, control the lighting device according to the lighting control instruction to adjust the brightness of the user's surrounding environment.

[0111] In this embodiment, the robot is a terminal device that can interact with users, and it can also be a movable terminal for collecting paper books. At the same time, it also has the function of adjusting the ambient light. After the user borrows an interesting paper book based on the robot, if the light in the user's surrounding environment is insufficient at this time, resulting in a poor reading experience, the user can interact with the robot to control the robot to provide light for the user. The user can input a light control instruction to the robot through the touch input device or voice input device of the display device to instruct the robot to perform corresponding actions. For example, the light control instructions include an instruction to turn on the light, an instruction to increase the light, an instruction to decrease the light, and an instruction to turn off the light. When the user inputs an instruction to turn on the light to the robot, the robot extends the light device outward and turns on the light to provide additional light. When the user inputs an instruction to increase the light to the robot and the light is working, the brightness of the light is increased. When the user inputs an instruction to decrease the light to the robot and the light is working, the brightness of the light is decreased. When the user inputs an instruction to turn off the light to the robot and the light is working, the light of the light device is turned off, and the light device is retracted into the interior of the robot housing.

[0112] Further, in step S23, after the step of searching for the paper book corresponding to the target book name in the robot or the preset bookshelf according to the borrowing instruction and delivering the paper book to the user by the robot, the book management method based on the robot of the present invention further includes the following step S236:

[0113] Step S236, returning the paper book corresponding to the borrowed target book name based on the robot or the preset bookshelf.

[0114] The paper books collected in this application scenario can be borrowed by users. After the user borrows a paper book, the user can return the borrowed paper book to the robot or the preset bookshelf.

[0115] In some embodiments of returning books, the display window of the robot display device provides a "return" option. After the user clicks the "return" option, the robot scans and archives the borrowed paper book to add the returned paper book to the book catalog. At this time, the user places the paper book in the book storage grid of the robot to complete the return. Or, the user goes to the location of the preset bookshelf and returns the book at the preset bookshelf. Optionally, the preset bookshelf is an intelligent bookshelf, and the preset bookshelf is provided with a scanning device. The scanning device is communicatively connected to the robot. The scanning device scans and returns the borrowed paper book to form scanning data and shares the scanning data with the robot. Or, the user can also return the borrowed paper book to the staff.

[0116] Optionally, when a user borrows a paper book from a robot or a preset bookshelf, a borrowing and returning code is randomly generated, which includes the book name of the borrowed paper book and the user identification. When the user needs to return the paper book, the user inputs the user identification to the robot or the preset bookshelf, and scans and inputs the book name through the robot or the preset bookshelf. When the user identification and the book name obtained by the robot or the preset bookshelf match the book name and the user identification corresponding to the user's borrowing and returning code, it is determined that the user has completed the book return operation.
