[0045] It can be understood that each book is affixed with a tag with an RFID chip. The RFID chip tag can receive and transmit wireless signals. The RFID reader can read the signals of the RFID chip and transmit them to the processor. The processor recognizes the signal and stores the information of the book 5, and updates the status and borrowing information of the book 5 according to the operation of borrowing and returning books. The status of the book 5 includes but is not limited to the book information and the location. Due to the high precision and high speed characteristics of RFID technology, the efficiency of book management is greatly improved, the cost of book management is reduced, and the borrowing process is simplified.

[0046] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the RFID-based smart bookshelf also includes a borrowing device 200 , which is connected to the processor of the bookshelf 100 . The borrowing device 200 is used to obtain and organize the book information and book location of the book 5 .

[0047] It can be understood that the lending device 200 can be desktop or wall-mounted, and multiple bookshelves 100 in an area can be managed through one lending device 200. The user inputs at least part of the book information of the target book 5 into the lending device 200. The book information includes but is not limited to the title, author, publisher, subject category, publication year, etc. The lending device 200 displays the borrowing status of the target book 5. If the target book 5 is located on the bookshelf 100, the lending device 200 displays the information of the location of the target book 5, including but not limited to the shelf number, row and column.

[0048] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bookshelf 100 includes a frame body 1 , and the sound and light prompter 2 and the guide light strip 3 are both arranged on the side end surface of the frame body 1 .

[0049] like Figure 1The figure shows a traditional arrangement of bookshelves 100. A user passes between two adjacent bookshelves 100 to select a book 5. When a borrower is on one side of multiple groups of bookshelves 100, he can see the side surfaces of multiple bookshelves 100 in a row at the same time. In view of this, the sound and light indicator 2 and the guide light strip 3 are set on the side surface of the shelf 1, so that the borrower can observe the situation of multiple bookshelves 100 at the same time and can quickly find the activated sound and light indicator 2 and guide light strip 3. It can be understood that the sound and light indicator 2 and the guide light strip 3 of multiple groups of bookshelves 100 are all facing the entrance and / or one side of the borrowing device 200, so that the borrower can see them at the first time.

[0050] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 includes a frame 11 and a layer plate 12 . The layer plate 12 is transversely arranged in the space enclosed by the frame 11 and divides the frame 11 into a plurality of partitions from top to bottom. The RFID identification area 4 is placed on the layer plate 12 .

[0051] It can be understood that the frame 11 is generally square, and a number of partitions are formed from top to bottom by a number of layers 12. The height of each partition can be the same or different to accommodate the books 5. The RFID identification area 4 is placed on the layer 12. The RFID identification area 4 is set along the length direction of the layer 12 to receive the signal sent by the book 5 placed on the layer 12.

[0052] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 further includes a partition 13 , which is vertically arranged and divides the partition into two compartments, and the RFID identification area 4 is placed on the layer board 12 and / or the partition 13 .

[0053] It can be understood that the bookshelf 100 can be single-oriented or double-oriented. When the bookshelf 100 is double-oriented, the partition 13 divides one compartment into two compartments in opposite directions, which greatly reduces the space waste of the bookshelf 100 and greatly improves the ability of a single bookshelf 100 to store books 5.

[0054] Similarly, the height and width of each compartment can be the same or different to accommodate the books 5. The RFID identification area 4 is placed on the layer board 12, and the RFID identification area 4 is arranged along the length direction of the layer board 12 to receive the signal sent by the book 5 placed on the layer board 12.

[0055] The RFID identification area 4 is placed on the partition 13 , and RFID identification areas 4 corresponding to the compartments are provided on both sides of the partition 13 . The RFID identification area 4 is arranged along the length direction of the partition 13 to receive signals sent by the book 5 placed on one side of the partition 13 .

[0056] In one possible implementation, Figure 3As shown, the sound and light indicator 2 of the bookshelf 100 where the target book 5 is located is always on or flashing, and a voice prompt or a buzzer sound is issued.

[0057] The sound and light prompt device 2 emits a prompt light and a prompt sound to guide the borrower to quickly locate the bookshelf 100 where the target book 5 is located. The prompt light can be white light or other color light, and can be always on or flashing; the prompt sound can be a voice prompt or a buzzer sound.

[0058] In specific implementation, since there are multiple borrowers looking for books 5 at the same time, in view of this, the borrowing device 200 can display different prompt lights and / or different prompt sounds for the target books 5 of the users.

[0059] For example, within the same time period, the target book 5 for the first borrower emits a yellow prompt light, the target book 5 for the second borrower emits a red prompt light, and the target book 5 for the third borrower emits a blue prompt light to prevent borrowers from being confused. This can clearly guide borrowers and greatly improve efficiency.

[0060] It can be understood that when the borrower reaches the bookshelf 100 where the target book 5 is located, the sound and light prompter 2 can be manually turned off to reduce the impact on other people.

[0061] It can be understood that the sound and light indicator 2 is located within the borrower's horizontal field of vision. Preferably, the height of the sound and light indicator 2 is set within 1.2m to 1.5m, and is specifically designed according to the height of the local borrowers during implementation.

[0062] In one possible implementation, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the guide light strip 3 includes a plurality of guide main paths 31 corresponding to the interlayers one by one, one end of the guide main path 31 is connected to the sound and light prompter 2, and the other end of the guide main path 31 extends toward the interlayer.

[0063] In one possible implementation, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the frame 1 includes compartments, the guide light strip 3 includes a plurality of guide main paths 31 corresponding to the compartments one by one, one end of the guide main path 31 is connected to the sound and light prompter 2, and the other end of the guide main path 31 extends toward the compartment.

[0064] It can be understood that the guiding main path 31 extends to the side facing the bookshelf 100. If the bookshelf 100 is unidirectional, the guiding main path 31 only extends to one side; if the bookshelf 100 is bidirectional, the guiding main path 31 extends to both sides.

[0065] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, each guiding main path 31 is separately provided, starting from the side surface / sound and light indicator 2 of the shelf 1, and extending toward the side of the shelf 12 facing the book 5, and ending at the end of the shelf 12 away from the sound and light indicator 2, or ending at the lighting area 33.

[0066] It can be understood that the guide light strip 3 can be activated by the processor or by the sound and light prompter 2. When the borrower reaches the designated bookshelf 100, the sound and light prompter 2 is turned off, and the guide light strip 3 is activated by the processor / sound and light prompter 2 to emit a guide light to guide the borrower to the specific location of the target book 5.

[0067] It can be understood that after the borrower reaches the designated bookshelf 100 and turns off the sound and light indicator 2, the guide light strip 3 is started to emit guide light, which enables the borrower to clearly observe the trajectory of the guide light at a closer distance. Compared with the continuous operation of the guide light strip 3, it can save energy and reduce the impact on other people.

[0068] In specific implementation, the guide light strip 3 is a linear light. The guide light strip 3 can also be white light or other color light. It can be always on, flashing, flowing light, etc. It can be understood that for the case where the target books 5 are located on the same bookshelf 100, the guide light strip 3 can also emit monochromatic light or light of different colors for guidance.

[0069] In one possible implementation, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the guide light strip 3 includes a guide main road 31 and a plurality of guide branches 32. The guide branches 32 are connected to the guide main road 31 and correspond to the partitions one by one. One end of the guide branch 32 is connected to the guide main road 31, and the other end of the guide branch 32 extends toward the partition.

[0070] In one possible implementation, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, when the frame 1 includes a compartment, the guide light strip 3 includes a guide main road 31 and a plurality of guide branches 32, the guide branches 32 are connected to the guide main road 31 and correspond one-to-one with the compartments, one end of the guide branch 32 is connected to the guide main road 31, and the other end of the guide branch 32 extends toward the compartment.

[0071] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of guiding branches 32 are divided from a guiding main road 31. The guiding main road 31 starts from the side surface / sound and light indicator 2 of the rack 1. The guiding branch roads 32 start from the guiding main road 31 and extend toward the side of the shelf 12 facing the book 5, and end at the end of the shelf 12 away from the sound and light indicator 2, or end at the lighting area 33.

[0072] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the guide light strip 3 also includes an illumination area 33 and a prompt light 34. The illumination area 33 is arranged on the shelf 12 to emit illumination light to the target book 5. The prompt light 34 is arranged on the shelf 12. The prompt light 34 closest to the target book 5 is always on or flashing.

[0073] It is understandable that when the guiding light emitted by the guiding device 3 is always on, it can play a role of supplementary lighting for the book 5 .

[0074] It is understandable that a lighting area 33 may be provided to provide supplementary light to the books 5 on this layer so that the borrowers can clearly view the information of the books 5 .

[0075] It is understandable that the indicator light 34 indicates that the target book 5 is located at a specific position on the layer, and the distance between two adjacent indicator lights 34 can be specifically designed according to actual needs. At the same time, the indicator light 34 can emit monochromatic light or light of different colors for guidance.

[0076] In one possible implementation, when the guide light strip 3 includes a guide main road 31 , the guide main road 31 is connected to the lighting area 33 ; or, when the guide light strip 3 includes a guide main road 31 and a guide branch road 32 , the guide branch road 32 is connected to the lighting area 33 .

[0077] In specific implementation, the lighting area 33 can be activated by the processor / sound and light prompter 2 / guiding light strip 3, and the guiding main path 31 / guiding branch path 32 of the guiding light strip 3 can be electrically connected to the lighting area 33 to activate the lighting area 33 to provide supplementary light for the books 5 on the layer. The supplementary light will not be provided before the borrower reaches the location of the target book 5, thus saving energy and reducing the impact on other people.
