Library Management and Access System Using Bluetooth

Abstract

In this project we developed a Bluetooth based library management & access system coded in python programming language.The methodology section describes the design and implementation of the proposed system in details. The system provides a user friendly and convenient way to access any library in a very less hectic manner. It provides user a magnificent platform to navigate through huge stockpile of books in an easy digital format with help of a client-server using Bluetooth technology. The system navigates the search of a user for his/ her desired book by categorizing it in three major divisions; i)search by topic ii)search by book iii)search by author, thus making the search a time efficient and convenient one and also supplying the user with the perfect match for his search.  Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python language stands out in comparison with respect to other programing languages as it is compact.  Can be packaged into standalone executable file which can cater to our several needs by using third party tools.  Provides a simpler and better way to represent data in graphical form.  Modules like Bluetooth, time, Os, Tkinter provides us with the facility to construct a suitable server client protocol for the users develop suitable GUI for the users, track the different Mac IDs of the Bluetooths.  Is an interpreted language that allows for rapid, flexible, exploratory software development. 1.2 Why python? Python language stands out in comparison with respect to other programing languages in terms of its vast array of standard library and code readability. We chose it over other languages as it is more compact and also by using third party tools python code can be packaged into standalone executable file which can cater to our several needs. We have used third party modules like Pybluez, Tkinter. Pybluez module helps us to perform the scanning and tracking operation through bluetooth and to construct an easy, convenient and simple GUI we here used the module Tkinter. 1.3 What is Bluetooth? Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over a short distance in a very efficient and lucid way. It is a technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from (2400-2480MHz) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area network (PANs) with high levels of security.
