Description of the Invention (/) The present invention relates to a monitoring system, particularly a system for identifying and monitoring library items such as books. Existing library identification and tracking systems usually use a combination of bar code systems to track the location of a loaned item, and use a magnetic strip as a security device to prevent an item from being removed outside the library without permission. The disadvantage of this traditional system is that when a user wants to borrow a book, the above barcode needs to open each book1 and scan the above barcode one by one, and when the book is returned, the barcode on each book needs to be scanned again. In addition, the revocation of the magnetic stripe when the item is lent, and the reactivation of the magnetic stripe when the item is returned are additional individual procedures necessary. Because this is a labor-intensive process, some libraries have started to use bookdrop boxes. Users can store and return books in a designated box. This box will be emptied regularly, and when the box is empty At times other than when books are returned, the returned books are scanned. Therefore, a disadvantage is that when a book is returned to the library and placed in a storage box that is not recorded in the library system, it will not be until the storage box has been emptied and the book has been scanned. It is actually returned. Therefore, with the traditional system, inaccuracies will occur in the recording system maintained by the library, and it does not reflect the actual time when books are placed back in the library's storage location. In addition, a user can only lend a certain number of books. If these quantities of books have been returned to a box, the borrower will not be able to lend other books until the books placed in the box are scanned and returned. For example, the total number of books a user can check out may be limited to four. 4 This paper is suitable for China® National Rolling List (CNS) A. 丨 Specifications (210x297cm) ------------- Packing ------------ Order ----- ---- Line (read the intentions on the back before filling in this page) 43 71 9 4 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V.

Description of Invention () In addition to books, the same library monitoring system can be used with other projects, which can be loaned out by a library, such as CDs, cassettes, and video tapes. In addition, this The system has the advantage that the return station can be located outside the library itself, and assuming that the personal computer 30 is connected to the host computer I through a suitable communication link, the host computer 1 can determine the location of the book box where the book 34 has been returned. It may happen that some bookcases located outside the library may not be connected by a delivery mechanism 8 'In this case books can be collected manually, for example, by a delivery cart or messenger, or other collection agencies, Return the book to the library. The advantage of the present invention is that by using an RF based system, it does not require manual scanning during the process of book lending, book return and book classification. In addition, the RFID tag can also be used as a security device to minimize the risk of books being taken out of the library without permission. Generally, the above security functions are provided by the user in a borrowing room. The station 3 is unloaded when the book is borrowed, and restarted when the book is returned to the library, whether it is located at a return station 2 or a sorting station 5. This security function can be used by using the EEPROM in an RFID tag The memory address is activated. For example, a typical EEPROM in an RFID tag will have 128 bits of memory. About 75% of the memory address is used to identify a library item. For example, if this library item shows For a book, the identifying information may include Dewey Decimal Code and / or Library of Congress Classification, and the branch code of the library to which this book belongs.

Description of the invention (π) The memory bit is assigned to indicate whether the library library has been licensed for taking out Already. Therefore, if the memory address contains one, it means that removal from the library is unauthorized. And if the record number contains a " r, it means that the removal from the library (for example, a book borrowed by a licensed user) has been approved. Therefore, if someone attempts to retrieve a book that has been loaned out without formal procedures from a library, a scanner located at or near the library exit will detect the secure memory address in the EEPROM and activate the alarm . If the scanner detects " Γ in the secure memory address in the EEPROM, the system knows that the book has been loaned out through the formal procedure and there will be no alarm sound. This function writes a ^ to the above memory address by a scanner located at the borrowing station 3 when an item is lent, and when a book is returned, the scanner located at the return station 2 writes a " CT to the above Write down the body address to cancel this security feature. Suitable RFID tags that may be mounted on the book 34 are, for example, those manufactured by Motorola Indala, such as the compact disk tag model IT-52E, or the high-voltage tag model IT-54E. Suitable readers 9 that can be applied to the above library monitoring system include readers manufactured by Motorola Indala, such as IR-24E or IR-36E long range readers, IR-50E-general purpose readers , Or IR-12E small reader. In addition, handheld readers such as those manufactured by Motorola Indala, such as the IR-200E Geo Technology reader and IR-2E focus point reader, and the ΙΜΜ00Ε portable reader can be applied to portable Sexual applications, such as manual book scanning when necessary.
