[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a book data processing device for a library kiosk disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0034] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for processing book data in a book kiosk provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a book data processing system, which includes a book recycling module at a book kiosk, a book transfer device module installed on a book transfer device, and a cloud service;

[0035] The library kiosk is equipped with multiple convenient book return barrels, which are used to store different types of books, and each convenient book return barrel corresponds to an NFC tag; the book recycling module includes a book identification module, a communication module and an NFC tag;

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0037] S1010, identifying a book return event through a book recognition module, where the book return event includes a book type corresponding to the book return behavior of dropping the book into a convenient book return bucket and an identifier of the convenient book return bucket corresponding to the book return behavior; and periodically recording the book return events in the current synchronization period in the cloud server through a communication module;

[0038] S1020, when the cloud server reaches the transfer cycle, it will analyze the book return events in the current transfer cycle, and determine the uncontaminated convenient book return buckets based on the types of books thrown into each convenient book return bucket, wherein when the type of books in the convenient book return bucket is not unique, the convenient book return bucket is contaminated; based on the uncontaminated convenient book return buckets of the same type, one or more book recycling paths are generated, each book recycling path includes multiple convenient book return bucket nodes and a book transfer node, each convenient book return bucket node corresponds to the location of a convenient book return bucket and the identifier corresponding to the convenient book return bucket, each book transfer node corresponds to the location of a book delivery device, and the types of books in the convenient book return buckets corresponding to each book recycling path are the same; book transfer devices are matched based on the book recycling paths, and the book recycling paths are sent to the book transfer device module of the matched book transfer devices.

[0039] The book recycling module also includes a sensing device installed in the convenient book return barrel, the sensing device is used to sense whether there are books entering. When the sensing device determines that there are books entering, a book return behavior signal is triggered, and the identifier of the convenient book return barrel corresponding to the book return behavior signal is determined; and an image before the book return behavior signal is triggered is obtained through the book recognition module, and the book type corresponding to the book return behavior is obtained based on the recognition of the image; a book return event is generated based on the identifier of the convenient book return barrel corresponding to the book return behavior signal and the book type.

[0040] It is also possible to estimate the stock of books in each convenient book return barrel, determine the book recycling path and the book transfer equipment corresponding to the book recycling path based on the location of the same type of contaminated convenient book return barrels, the stock of each convenient book return barrel, the location of the book transfer equipment, and the remaining capacity of the book transfer equipment.

[0041] S1030, the book transfer device module performs trajectory control based on the book recycling path. When arriving at the convenient book return bucket node, it identifies the identifiers of each convenient book return bucket through the NFC tag, and collects the books in the convenient book return bucket corresponding to the book recycling path. When arriving at the book transfer node, the books in the book transfer device are unloaded at the corresponding book delivery device so that the book delivery device can deliver the books according to its specific delivery rules.

[0042] The specific delivery rules are delivery rules bound to or pre-set for the corresponding book delivery device, and the delivery rules can be determined based on data such as book borrowing and returning information, user preferences, and geographic location of books.

[0043] The specific delivery rule may include at least one of a location-based demand allocation rule, an intelligent recommendation rule based on borrowing and returning history, and an inventory adjustment rule based on borrowing frequency; wherein:

[0044] The location-based demand allocation rule refers to intelligently predicting and adjusting the book inventory at each point based on the historical borrowing data and geographical location information of each drop-off point, ensuring that popular books can quickly reach areas with high demand. This rule enables books to appear where they are most needed, optimizing resource allocation.

[0045] The intelligent recommendation rules based on borrowing and returning history refer to analyzing the user's borrowing and returning history, understanding the user's reading habits and areas of interest. When the book is returned, similar types of books are automatically recommended to the user, and the recommended books are prioritized to the user's frequently used book pick-up points.

[0046] Adjusting inventory rules according to borrowing frequency means that for frequently borrowed books, the system will replenish inventory in advance at an appropriate time based on their borrowing frequency and cycle, and place them in high-flow delivery devices to quickly respond to demand.

[0047] It should be noted that in actual applications, a unique specific delivery rule can be determined from the above three rules to be bound to the book delivery device according to actual needs, or at least two specific delivery rules can be determined from the above three rules to be bound to the book delivery device according to actual needs.

[0048] The embodiment of the present invention can accurately identify which convenient book return barrels are contaminated during the book recycling process, and plan a collection path based on the convenient book return barrels that are not contaminated, collect books based on the planned collection path, and transfer them to the corresponding book delivery device. Since the types of books in the book delivery device are consistent, when delivering, they can be directly delivered based on similarity without sorting, thereby improving the efficiency of book processing, improving the efficiency of book return, and improving the delivery efficiency.

[0049] Book transfer equipment includes book transfer vehicles.

[0050] For the convenient book return bins that have been contaminated, they are all determined to be contaminated types of books, and the contaminated types of books are reclassified and put out through the sorting device.

[0051] In some embodiments, the book recycling module further includes a plurality of indicator lights and a solar panel; the indicator lights correspond to the convenient book return barrels one by one, and each indicator light is connected to the book identification module respectively; the solar panel is arranged on the outer surface of the top of the library kiosk, and the solar panel is connected to the book identification module and each indicator light respectively, and the solar panel is used to power the book identification module and each indicator light;

[0052] Before identifying a book return event, the book recognition module can identify the books carried by a book delivery person who is carrying books and determine the type of books before identifying a book return event. It can also identify the type of books and the convenient book return bucket that matches the type of books, and control the indicator light corresponding to the convenient book return bucket to light up, so as to remind the book delivery person to drop the books into the corresponding convenient book return bucket.

[0053] In some embodiments, the book recognition module includes a camera with a built-in microcontroller, which is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the kiosk; the microcontroller is embedded with a book category recognition model, which is trained by sample book images marked with book type labels.

[0054] In some embodiments, the camera also has a built-in wireless communication module connected to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller is connected to the indicator light through the wireless communication module; each indicator light is arranged above the corresponding convenient book return barrel and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the library kiosk; the indicator light includes an LED light with a built-in single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer is used to control the LED light to light up when receiving a switch signal from the book recognition module.

[0055] In some embodiments, the book recycling module further includes a voice player connected to the book recognition module, and the voice player is used for voice prompting.

[0056] As an example, the library kiosk is equipped with four convenient book return barrels, which are used to store four types of books: humanities books, social science books, educational books and classic books. Figure 2 As shown, the library kiosk 100 is provided with three convenient book return barrels 110, which are respectively used to store books of three types: children's books, youth books, and adult books. It should be noted that the book type can be set according to actual needs, and the same book type can correspond to one or more convenient book return barrels.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the book recycling module of the book data processing device of the library kiosk also includes multiple indicator lights and a solar panel 230; the indicator lights correspond to the convenient book return barrels 110 one by one, and each indicator light is connected to the book identification module respectively; the solar panel 230 is arranged on the outer surface of the top of the library kiosk 100, for example, the solar panel 230 is installed to the outward baffle of the top of the library kiosk 100, and the solar panel 230 is respectively connected to the book identification module and each indicator light, and the solar panel 230 is used to power the book identification module and each indicator light.

[0058] The above-mentioned book data processing device of the book kiosk realizes automatic classification of books and guidance of book delivery through the book recognition module and multiple indicator lights, solves its own power supply problem through the solar panel 230, and has low cost and easy deployment. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention solves the problem that the operation mode of the intelligent and convenient book return barrel is difficult to combine with the traditional book kiosk, and the book kiosk cannot meet the requirements of modern intelligence, and realizes the intelligent upgrading and transformation of the traditional book kiosk at low cost and easy deployment.

[0059] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the book recognition module includes a camera 210 with a built-in microcontroller 211, and the camera 210 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the kiosk 100, for example, the camera 210 can be installed on the inner shield of the top of the kiosk 100; the microcontroller 211 is embedded with a book category recognition model, and the book category recognition model is trained by sample book images marked with book type labels. This book recognition module has the advantages of being small, low power consumption, and low cost.

[0060] By training the book category recognition model, the microcontroller 211 embedded in the camera 210 uses the camera 210 in the library kiosk 100 to detect whether there is anyone carrying books near the convenient book return barrel 110, and classifies the target books. Finally, the camera 210 controls the lights of the indicator lights corresponding to the book type, thereby realizing the book data processing of the library kiosk based on video recognition, solving the problem that the operation mode of the smart convenient book return barrel and the traditional library kiosk is difficult to combine with modern intelligent requirements, and realizing low-cost and easy-to-deploy intelligent upgrading and transformation of traditional library kiosks.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the camera 210 is also built with a wireless communication module 212 connected to the microcontroller 211, and the microcontroller 211 is connected to the indicator light through the wireless communication module 212. The wireless communication module 212 can be a radio frequency module or a Bluetooth module. The camera 210 can capture an image within the preset range of the convenient book return bucket 110, and perform book recognition on the image. When the target book is recognized from the image, the target book in the image is classified by the book category recognition model to obtain a book classification result, determine the target indicator light corresponding to the book type indicated by the book classification result, and send a switch signal to the target indicator light through the wireless communication module 212 to light up the target indicator light. Among them, the preset range can be set according to actual needs, and is not limited here. For example, the preset range is a circular range with a radius of 2 meters centered on the convenient book return bucket 110.

[0062] Optionally, in order to facilitate people to quickly confirm the location of the target convenient book return bucket, each indicator light is arranged above the corresponding convenient book return bucket 110 and fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the library kiosk 100. For example, the indicator light is installed to the inward baffle at the top of the convenient book return bucket 110.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the indicator light includes an LED light 220 with a built-in single-chip microcomputer 221, and the single-chip microcomputer 221 is used to control the LED light 220 to light up when receiving a switch signal from the book recognition module. Wireless light control can be achieved by communicating with the single-chip microcomputer 221 of the LED light 220 corresponding to the book type through the wireless communication module 212 of the camera 210.

[0064] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned book data processing device of the book kiosk further includes a voice player 240 connected to the book recognition module (such as the camera 210), and the voice player 240 is used for voice prompting. In this way, when the book recognition module recognizes the book type of the target book, the voice player 240 can be used to prompt people of the book type to be put in, and even prompt the corresponding target convenient book return bucket, thereby further improving the guidance effect.

[0065] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned book data processing device of the book kiosk further includes an electronic display screen 250 connected to the book recognition module (such as the camera 210), and the electronic display screen 250 is used to display the book classification result. The electronic display screen 250 can display the book classification result and the corresponding target convenient book return bucket to further improve the guidance effect.

[0066] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned book data processing device of the book kiosk further includes a human infrared sensing device 260 connected to the book recognition module (such as the camera 210), and the human infrared sensing device 260 is used to start the book recognition module after sensing the human body. In this way, the book recognition module is only started when book classification guidance is required, which reduces the working time of the book recognition module, avoids unnecessary power loss, and saves energy.

[0067] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, in order to better guide people to put books into the corresponding convenient book return bucket, the above-mentioned book data processing device of the library kiosk also includes an alarm 270 connected to the book recognition module (such as the camera 210). The book recognition module is also used to control the alarm 270 to issue an alarm prompt when it is detected that the book delivery personnel have not delivered the target book into the target convenient book return bucket. The alarm 270 can be a sound and light alarm. The alarm 270 can warn people to deliver books to the correct convenient book return bucket.

[0068] For ease of understanding, taking the book recognition module as a camera 210 with a built-in microcontroller 211 and a wireless communication module 212, and the indicator light as an LED light 220 with a built-in single-chip computer 221 as an example, the specific steps of the implementation process of the above-mentioned book data processing device of the library kiosk are as follows:
