Performance Evaluation Study of the RFID Intelligent Bookshelf and Its Applications to New Library Services
池田 大輔, Ikeda Daisuke · IPSJ SIG Notes · 2005
This paper presents performance evaluation results for an intelligent bookshelf equipped with RFID readers. The result shows that the bookshelf reads IDs from all tags attached to books within the bookshelf, even if some books are inclined or laid horizontally. The reader obtain information from only tags within the bookshelf, so we can see when a book is taken from it. When we attach tags to thin periodicals with around 6mm thick, the accuracy is quite low. However, the accuracy is increasing drastically, when we attach tags on two different positions of the periodicals alternately. Currently the RFID system is introduced into many libraries for the sake of laborsaving. The author believe, however, that such intelligent bookshelves enable library to provide new library services.
