It is composed. In addition, the tags each have a unique ID value in order to have distinctive powers.

Hereinafter, a library method using bibliographic information according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

According to the library method according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, the doubling information generation process for generating an optimal doubling information for a plurality of books, the book retrieval process for searching for a specific book with the doubling information generated above; In addition, this process includes a misalignment check for identifying misalignment of books arranged on the shelves.

2 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a process of generating multiplication information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, in order to generate the multiplication information, a process of constructing a book information database 300 is first performed according to bibliographic information for each book (S110). The bibliographic information includes size information, such as the number of pages and the height of the book, in addition to general information such as the book classification, author, publisher, and the like. Preferably, the bibliographic information registration of the book may be made from the terminal device on the library server 200 side, but may receive a data stored in the external data storage means to build a database.

Next, the thickness information of the book is generated using the number of pages of the book from the bibliographic information of the book constructed in the book information database 300 (S120).

In general, the thickness of a sheet of paper (2 pages) is about 10 μm. For example, if the bibliographic information of a particular book assumes that the total number of pages of the book is 400 pages, the thickness of the book can be estimated to be about 2 cm.

Next, the process of setting the proportion of the book to be filled in the bookshelf is made (S130). In general, about 80% of the bookshelf space is preferably applied to the proportion of books filled in the space of the bookshelf.

Next, the multiplication information of the book is generated by using the thickness information of the book generated from the above processes and the filling ratio of the bookshelf (S140). In other words, the book's doubling information is not only for the purpose of finding the data easily, but also for the proper distribution of books in consideration of the width and density of the book. The doubling information according to an embodiment of the present invention generates the doubling information so that the last book out of the setting range is arranged again from the start position of the next bookshelf when the space of books filled on the bookshelf is out of the bookshelf filling ratio. That is, the ratio of books filled in the bookshelf is configured so as not to be out of the setting state.

In addition, according to the above-mentioned book doubling information generation process, the above doubling information is referred to as being generated only according to the thickness information of the book, but in order to generate a general doubling information that is currently applied in the order of claim number according to the classification of each field of the book It is natural that the arrangement process takes precedence.

Next, a process of generating a virtual form of the books arranged on the bookshelf in the form of an image according to the multiplication information of the book is performed (S150). At this time, the approximate size of the book can be estimated by combining the thickness information of the book and the height information of the book known from the bibliographic information, and generating image information of the books on the shelf by combining the virtual shapes. will be.

Next, the multiplication information and image information data of the book generated from the above process is stored in the multiplication information database 400 is performed (S160).

3 is a flowchart schematically showing a book retrieval process using multiplication information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the book searching process, a process (S210) of online access to the library server 200 using the inquiry terminal 100 is first performed.

When the data value for the inquiry item is transmitted from the inquiry terminal 100 connected to the library server 200 online, the library server 200 receives it (S220).

Library server 200 retrieves the data value matching the inquiry item transmitted from the inquiry terminal 100 from the data stored in the book information database 300 and the multiplication information database 400 (S230), if, search If the target exists, the bibliographic information of the book stored in the book information database 300 is called, and the location information of the book stored in the multiplication information database 400 is called and the result is transmitted to the inquiry terminal 100 (S240). ).

If the search object does not exist in the book information database 300 or the multiplication information database 400 in the data search process, a message indicating that no data exists is transmitted to the inquiry terminal 100 (S250).

Inquiry terminal 100 receives the search results for the requested data and outputs the results on the monitor (S260). If the data exists, the search result output to the inquiry terminal 100 is bibliographic information and doubling information of the book, and doubling information provides text information and image information on the location of the bookshelf in which the book exists. At this time, in the doubling information in the form of image, the book to be searched provides a virtual image arranged on the bookshelf, and the book to be searched can easily convey the position of the book visually with an image effect such as light blinking in the video material. To help.

4 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a process for checking misalignment of books according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram schematically illustrating a process for checking misalignment of books.

In identifying misalignment of books, tag information registration process for books or books is first processed. More specifically, each shelf and books are tagged with a unique identification for the doubling information generated in the preferred form, the scanner 500 reads the tag information of the arranged shelves and books The process of transmitting to the library server 200 and registering the material in the doubling information database 400 should be processed in advance.

In the above, the doubling information database 400 stores a plurality of book tags 710 according to the shelf tag 720 in a group form, but stores all of the sequential arrangement order for the plurality of books. In addition, the book tag 720 is preferably registered separately by the book tag (720-a, 720-b, 720-c ...) for each line of the bookshelf.

The misalignment of the books arranged on the bookshelf recognizes the bookshelf 720 for the bookshelf to be checked first using the scanner 500, and transmits the corresponding ID value to the library server 200 (S310). ).

The bookshelf-side tag information transmitted from the scanner 500 is received by the library server 200, and the sequential book doubling information arranged in the bookshelf is called from the doubling information database 400 (S320).

The doubling information of the books to be arranged on the bookshelf side is transmitted to the scanner 500, the scanner 500 sequentially recognizes the book tag 710 mounted on each book based on the received doubling information and misalignment Check whether or not (S330).

If the misaligned books are identified, the speaker 510 of the scanner 500 generates an alarm sound (S340), and receives the multiplication information of the misaligned books from the library server 200 and the scanner 500 The image display unit 520 outputs the image information according to the correct book position (S350).

The technical spirit of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is by way of example only and not by way of limitation. In addition, it is obvious that any person skilled in the art may make various modifications and imitations without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

As described above, according to the library system and method using the bibliographic information according to the embodiment of the present invention has the following effects.

First, since the book is doubled using the multiplication information of the books set in the database, the accuracy of the book position is improved.

Second, since the doubling information is formed in consideration of the thickness of the book according to the number of pages of the book, the width information of the book and the density, there is also an effect of providing stable doubling information.

Third, the process of checking the misalignment of the doubled books also uses the scanner and the tag information for each book without relying on the judgment of the person, thereby reducing the checking time of misalignment and improving the accuracy.
