Description:Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a communication data transmission and computer management method, more particular to a flutter based smart library management on an Android system, which belongs to the technical field of communication.
Background of the Invention
The library is the first place that springs to mind when discussing knowledge resources. It is very certain that libraries have always been the only truly profound sources of knowledge. A library was traditionally defined as a structure or room that housed a collection of various books or other information resources that were kept or managed to assist readers in finding the information they needed—not for commercial gain. However, there were several issues with this kind of traditional library, such as hiring personnel, which is expensive and requires human resources in the actual library; books cannot be utilized concurrently; physical libraries are solely meant for storage; and library resources are not available around-the-clock.
Digital libraries have become essential in the modern era, offering users the ability to access vast amounts of content online. However, developing a cross-platform digital library application that provides a consistent user experience across different devices, manages large volumes of data efficiently, and offers personalized features can be challenging. There is a need for a digital library application built on a framework like Flutter that allows for seamless development and deployment across multiple platforms while ensuring high performance and user satisfaction.
The present invention developed a flutter based smart library management system. The system designed to process and systematically arranges various books and organise, manage all the library relates tasks. This project also provides features and interface for maintaining librarian’s records, student’s history of issues, and fines. The user can easily update, delete and insert data in the database with the present invention.
