[0006] Further, the barcode scanner in the data acquisition layer is used to read book barcodes, the RFID reader / writer is used to read and write book RFID tags, the image recognition device is used to identify book cover and spine features, the face and fingerprint recognition device is used to identify user face and fingerprint information, and the video surveillance device is used to monitor on-site videos, which can store videos for multiple days in a cyclic manner, facilitating remote viewing of the on-site status.

[0007] Further, the local server in the data processing layer stores basic book information, borrowing records, and inventory information, and the edge computing device performs preliminary data processing near the data source.

[0008] Further, the management terminal in the application layer has functions such as book warehousing, outbound, borrowing management, inventory counting, and report generation, and the user terminal supports operations such as book query, reservation borrowing, renewal, and return reminder.

[0009] A small-scale library management method:

[0010] S1 Book warehousing: Use a barcode scanner to read the book barcode and enter the basic information, use an RFID reader / writer to write the tag information and paste it, and use an image recognition device to collect images for auxiliary classification;

[0011] S2 Book borrowing: Users query and reserve books for borrowing on the user terminal, log in to the system through user face or fingerprint recognition, and complete the borrowing registration by scanning the RFID tag through the management terminal;

[0012] S3 Book return: Users log in to the system through user face or fingerprint recognition, the system automatically identifies the book through the RFID reader / writer, checks for overdue and damaged conditions and processes them;

[0013] S4 Book inventory: Use an RFID reader / writer to scan the electronic tag information on the books on the bookshelf, and compare it with the system data to generate an inventory report.

[0014] The present invention provides a small-scale book management system and method. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This small-scale book management system and method improve management efficiency: The automated data collection and processing process greatly reduces manual operations and improves the efficiency of book warehousing, borrowing, returning, and inventory. It enhances the convenience of searching: The intelligent classification and positioning technology makes book searching faster and more accurate, reducing the searching time for users and management staff.
