After a year of renovation and upgrading, the "New page Study" of Shanghai Changning District Library recently opened to readers. This is a "smart library" jointly created by SenseTime and Changning District Library, relying on digital people, book delivery robots, mobile terminals, smart bookcases and other applications, and a variety of intelligent reading devices, to provide readers with a convenient and easy to use reading experience, while showing the novelty of reading scenes, to promote the intelligent construction of libraries.

Entering the first floor hall of the Changning District Library, readers will first be attracted by a digital human guide named "Xinye". Just show her the application code or reader card, and she will calculate the reader's borrowing preferences based on big data, recommend popular books in the library, personalized books, and assist readers to complete book borrowing, seat reservation and other operations.

"Xinye" is based on Sensetime AI digital human technology, using advanced computer vision, natural language processing and decision intelligence technologies. When the reader comes to her, the digital person will automatically wake up and take the initiative to welcome and guide the service. It is worth mentioning that she can not only have a realistic and natural dialogue with people, but also use expressions, gestures and actions, which greatly improves the human-computer interaction experience.

Through the introduction of a recommendation algorithm specially designed for library scenarios, with the accumulation of times of use, digital people will gradually optimize the recommendation results, so that readers can get more suitable books, and the value of each book can be better reflected.

Changning District Library offers two reading methods: "Reading in the library" and "self-help book collection" for readers to choose from. If you choose "Reading in the library", after the reader has reserved a seat and merged into the seat, the intelligent reading robot using Sensetime AI technology will bring the selected book to the seat. After the reader enters the verification code, the robot's "pocket" will automatically open and complete the book borrowing. After reading, readers can easily return the book through this robot.

When selecting "self-service book pickup", readers can also choose the contactless mode, and use the contactless smart cabinet to self-help book booking for the full time, effectively reducing human contact, and improve the convenience of borrowing and returning books, reducing the risk of epidemic transmission.

"Xinyeden smart reading space is the first digital book lending application scenario explored and piloted by Changning District Library in the field of public cultural services." "We want to build a library with a sense of the future," said Zhu Jianwei, Party secretary and director of the Changning District Culture and Tourism Bureau. "We want to take the lead in digital application scenarios in the field of public culture and accelerate the pace of digital transformation."

According to reports, Changning District Library is the first pilot project of the construction of Shanghai smart library, and has taken the lead in the construction of a number of smart reading scenarios and service systems since 2021. By deeply combining AI technology with the library scene, Sensetime enables the "whole process" intelligent borrowing and returning scene of Changning Library, from intelligent interaction, intelligent reservation, intelligent book recommendation, intelligent book delivery and other links, to provide readers with a digitalized reading experience of the whole process.

Changning District Library will continue to improve the intelligent reading scene of the whole library, and explore the construction of "panoramic" intelligent reading place; At the same time, we will expand the "all-domain" smart reading model, bring the concept and application of smart reading to the side of community residents, better serve the majority of readers, and promote the intelligent upgrade of Shanghai's public cultural services.
