Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a service device for dissertations for academic degrees. Background Art

[0002] Dissertations for academic degrees of students in institutions of higher learning are generally stored in the library. Before graduation, students can only go through the formalities for leaving the library after submitting the electronic version and the paper version of their dissertations to the library. Students can log in to the dissertation management system of the library on the computer to submit the electronic version of their dissertations, while the paper version of the dissertations needs to be sent to the library by the students. After the library staff receives the paper version of the dissertations (referred to as "dissertations" or "paper dissertations" for short), they register them on the computer. During the peak graduation period, students need to queue for a long time to submit the paper dissertations, and the staff also need to spend a long time to complete the tasks of collection and registration, with low efficiency and prone to errors. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Example 1

[0018] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the dissertation service device includes a cabinet 1, a receiving vehicle 2, and a transfer box 3. The transfer box 3 connects the cabinet 1 and the receiving vehicle 2. The cabinet 1 identifies the deposited paper-based dissertations, and the transfer box 3 sends the paper-based dissertations identified by the cabinet 1 into the receiving vehicle 2. Library staff only need to regularly pick up the dissertations in the receiving vehicle 2 without having to be on duty all the time, which not only reduces the workload but also improves the speed of collecting dissertations.

[0019] On the user-facing surface of the cabinet 1, there are a display screen 11, an operation area 12, a card-reading area 13, a storage table 15, and an entrance 16 for submitting paper-based dissertations. Inside the cabinet 1, there are a card reader, a memory, and a processor 110. The card reader is located under the card-reading area 13 and is used to read the campus card. The display screen 11 is used for human-computer interaction with the user. The operation area 12 is the control area for the service machine. For example, a power-on / off button and a keyboard (the keyboard can be used to input information such as student numbers) can be set in the control area 12. The storage table 15 is an extended platform where items such as paper-based dissertations, bags, and personal computers can be placed. A gate 111 can be installed at the entrance 16. The gate 111 can be electric or a baffle that can be opened by pushing. A scanner 17 is provided at the entrance 16. The scanner 17 can accurately identify text and convert it into electronic text. For example, the scanner 17 scans the cover of the paper-based dissertation and extracts at least the dissertation title.

[0020] Inside the transfer box 3, there is a conveyor belt 31, a motor 32, and a roller 33. The conveyor belt 31 is arranged on the roller 33 and extends to the entrance 16. The motor 32 drives the roller 33 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 31.

[0021] The processor is connected to the memory, the card reader, the display screen 11, the scanner 17, and the drive circuit of the motor 32. The graduate places the campus card in the card-reading area 13. Under the control of the processor, first, the card reader reads the graduate's identity information (including name, student number, etc.) from the campus card. Then, the display screen displays the identity information on the display screen 11. At the same time, a prompt message to place the paper-based dissertation on the conveyor belt 31 at the entrance 16 can be further given on the display screen 11. Then, the scanner 17 scans the dissertation cover and extracts the dissertation title. Finally, the conveyor belt starts to transfer the paper-based dissertation from the entrance to the tail and drops it into the receiving cart 2. At the same time, the processor stores the dissertation title and the corresponding graduate identity information in the local memory or uploads it to the school management system through the communication module. The school management system can be a system for managing student information and grades, or a dissertation management system for the library. These systems are conventional for those skilled in the art. Among them, the dissertation management system stores the graduation theses of the students in this school, and the personnel of this school can log in to the system to search and view.

[0022] If the gate 111 is electric, after the card reader reads the graduate's identity information, the controller will control the gate 111 to open. After the card reader reads the graduate's identity information, a countdown can be displayed on the display screen 11, and after the time is up, the controller will control the gate 111 to close. After the gate 111 is closed, the controller starts the scanner 17 to scan the dissertation cover.

[0023] If the student fails to place the thesis on the conveyor belt 31 at the entrance 16 within the specified time, the display screen 11 will give a prompt message to remind the student that the submission has failed. In this case, the service machine needs to obtain the student's identity information again, that is, the student needs to operate again.

[0024] In addition, a voice player 14 controlled by a processor can be set on the cabinet 1. During the process of submitting the thesis, the voice player 14 can give voice prompts such as "Place the thesis at the entrance", "Submission successful", and "Submission failed".

[0025] In addition, the lower end of the cabinet 1 has a trapezoidal structure in terms of appearance. Handrails 19 and 22 are respectively provided on the cabinet 1 and the receiving cart 2.

[0026] The receiving cart 2 is arranged at the tail of the transfer box 3 and is used to collect the theses transmitted by the conveyor belt 31. The tail of the transfer box 3 has a positioning groove 21, and the receiving cart 2 has a pin matching the positioning groove. After the receiving cart 2 is joined with the transfer box 3, the pin can be inserted into the positioning groove 21 to ensure the stable connection between the receiving cart 2 and the transfer box 3. A door 24 is provided on the side of the receiving cart 2, and the collected theses can be taken out after the door 24 is opened. In one embodiment, a control system is integrated on the receiving cart 2, and the control system includes a controller, a door lock, a card reader, a driving component for the pin, a door switch, and a pin switch. The card reader reads the work card (campus card) of the library staff, and a corresponding card reading area 26 is provided on the receiving cart 2. Under the control of the controller, after the card reader reads the identity information of the staff (placing the work card in the card reading area 26), if it is detected that the door switch is pressed, the door lock is opened and the staff can take out the thesis; if it is detected that the pin switch is pressed, the pin pops out or retracts (pops out when pressed once, retracts when pressed twice continuously).

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on the hardware in Embodiment 1, one or more modules are stored in the memory and are configured to be executed by a processor. The one or more modules include instructions for performing the following steps: obtaining the identity information of the graduate; querying the electronic version of the graduate's degree thesis from the degree thesis management system of the library based on the identity information; if the electronic version of the degree thesis is not queried, giving a first prompt message to remind the student that the electronic version of the degree thesis needs to be submitted first; if the electronic version of the degree thesis is queried, the scanner starts to scan the cover of the paper-based degree thesis at the entrance and extracts the title of the paper-based degree thesis; comparing the title of the paper-based degree thesis with the title of the electronic version of the degree thesis. If the two are inconsistent, giving a second prompt message to remind the student that the title of the paper-based degree thesis is inconsistent and the paper-based degree thesis will not be accepted; if the two are consistent, sending information that the paper-based degree thesis has been submitted to the degree thesis management system. Figure 3Shows the interaction process between the dissertation service device and the dissertation management system.

[0029] One or more modules read the campus card through a card reader to obtain the student's identity information. The display screen 11 is configured to display the first prompt message and the second prompt message. The voice player 14 is configured to play the first prompt message and the second prompt message. One or more modules query the electronic version of the dissertation, and the electric gate 111 opens. If the title of the paper-based dissertation is the same as that of the electronic version of the dissertation, the conveyor belt 31 starts to convey the paper-based dissertation into the receiving vehicle 3.

[0030] The dissertation service device of the present invention facilitates the graduation procedures for students.

[0031] In addition, through the dissertation service device of the present invention, the dissertation management system can also be accessed to retrieve and view all the dissertations in the system database. The display screen 11 is a touch screen, providing an operation interface and human-computer interaction for this function.
