System concept statement (exercise)

<Existing system>
Unmanned Book rental system is for everyone who wants to borrow a book.

Basically, citizens with membership card can rent the books simply by putting them on the machine in each floor of the library. Every book has a RFID tag, and machine reads that to deal with rental process. The machine also updates the information of a book's location, stock and whether it is reserved. This information is useful when the delivery system operates. If a library doesn't have the book the user wants, it will be sent to the library within one day from another library which has it.

By extension, the machine can be installed in other places, for example, subway stations. Commuting people can reserve a book through the machine, and after one day, they can receive the book there. This way, people can save time and enjoy reading.

 <New system>

Smart Phone Book Rental System is designed for people who want to select and borrow a book more easily.

QR code on every book plays a roll of providing information of the book including other recommended books or reference material related to it. Therefore readers can research the book they need more efficiently, and once they select the book, they can keep chain of reading another book continuously.

Also users can immediately borrow books by QR code, and reserve the book through smart phone app.

 There will be many kiosks near the house or stations for receiving reserved books. The delivery system here works with combined data from adjacent libraries, and the books will flow to demand area.

 Nowadays there are many people who are too busy to research and borrow a book. This system will foster the culture of reading and people can fully enjoy reading without wasting time for searching.
