Typically, 3 lend one lending the station as the user During this book, this security feature deexcitation, and when book is returned to the library, giving back the station 2 or classification station 5 again it is activated. This security feature can be by using FRID A memory cell among the EEPROM in the label is realized. For example, RFID A typical EEPROM in the label will have one 128 memory cell. About 75% memory cell is used for the identification library item. For example, if library item is one Book, then identifying information can comprise Dewey decit and Library of Congress (LibraryofCongress) code of the library branch under classification and this book. Distribute it Whether a position of surplus memory bits is awarded from taking out of library with the indication library item Power. Therefore, if memory cell comprises one " 0 ", then show from the library, to take out not obtain Authorize. If but memory cell includes one " 1 ", then show from the library and (for example, take out The user who borrows this this book by a mandate takes out) authorized. Therefore, if one The people attempts the book of not yet formally borrowing is taken out from the library, then in the library or figure A near scanner the book shop outlet can detect " 0 " in the secure storage unit of EEPROM, And trigger an alarm. If scanner detects one in the secure storage unit of EEPROM Therefore individual " 1 ", then system knows that book is formally borrowed, acoustic warning not.
This characteristic operates as follows: when article are lent, lend in the station Scanner 3 is write memory cell to one " 1 ", when book is given back, gives back the scanning in the station 2 Instrument is write this memory cell to one " 0 ", to reactivate this security feature.
Can be installed in suitable RFID label on the book 34 can be those by The label of MotorolaIndala company manufacturing, for example the minidisk label of IT-52E type Or the heavily stressed label of IT-54E type. Be fit to this library system use suitable Reader 9 comprise the reader of MotorolaIndala company, for example IR-24E or IR-36E Long range reader, the general reader of IR-50E or the IR-12E reader that compacts.
In addition, portable reader, for example those are made by MotorolaIndala company, example Such as IR-200EGeoTechnology reader and IR-2E focus reader and IR-100E Portable reader can be used for portable use, for example book is carried out craft if necessary the time and sweeps Retouch.
