The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/847,065, filed May 17, 2004 now abandoned, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/713,444 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,857,568 filed Nov. 15, 2000 which is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/058,547 filed Apr. 10, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,369,709, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
If the code-type check is enabled, and if the reader 18 is reading an item identifier used on circulating items meant to be processed on the cradle 14, the microprocessor 60 determines whether a wrong-identification counter R10 has accumulated a count that exceeds a predetermined RIO threshold. If the wrong-identification counter R10 has not accumulated a count that exceeds the predetermined RIO threshold, the microprocessor 60 provides a screen display SCR-37 at a block 1114 indicating that the library patron is using the wrong bar code, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1116 increments the wrong-identification counter R10, and program flow returns to point 1103 of the routine shown in FIG. 15. If the wrong-identification counter R10 has accumulated a count which exceeds the predetermined RIO threshold, the microprocessor 60 provides the screen display SCR-37 at a block 1118 indicating that the library patron is using the wrong identification under the reader 18. Thereafter, the microprocessor 60 sets the scan line projected by the reader 18 to long and flashing and, if the walkaway-item-removed timer T24 has not timed out, provides the screen display SCR-75, and resets the reposition counter R6.
If the count accumulated by the reposition counter R6 exceeds the predetermined R6 threshold, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1129 provides a screen display SCR-34 indicating that the position of the circulating item on the cradle 14 is incorrect and directing the patron to ask for help. Thereafter, the microprocessor 60 sets the scan line projected by the reader 18 to long and flashing. Assuming that the walkaway-item-removed timer T24 does not time out, program flow proceeds to the block 11108.
If the microprocessor 60 is at the point 1103, and if a maximum event timer T11 times out before (i) the patron's library card is removed from the cradle 14, (ii) the patron initiates a termination sequence, (iii) a video cassette has been inserted into the video slot 30 of the self-service library terminal 10, (iv) both of the photoelectric sensors 20 and 22 are covered, (v) the idle indication is not read and neither of the photoelectric sensors 20 and 22 is covered, and (vi) an item identifier is read by the reader 18, the identification read by the reader 18 is not a patron's ID, both of the photoelectric sensors 20 and 22 are not covered, and the maximum event timer T22 has timed out, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1130 provides a screen display SCR-33 directing the patron to place a book, a CD, or a video in the appropriate circulating item receiving area, and program flow proceeds to the point 11103.
The routine shown in FIG. 18 is entered from the routine shown in FIG. 16. When the routine shown in FIG. 18 is entered, the microprocessor 60 determines whether the circulating item being processed is a chargeable item. If the item is a chargeable item, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1400 then executes the routine shown in FIG. 17 and, assuming a return from FIG. 17 to FIG. 18, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1402 sends a patron check-out request to the data server 50 of the library. If the checkout is not authorized by the data server 50 (for example, the library patron has overdue fines and/or other monies owing and past due), the microprocessor 60 at a block 1404 provides a screen display SCR-50 indicating that checkout has failed and provides the specific reason for checkout failure, and then program flow proceeds to point C of FIG. 15.
If the loan is not a chargeable loan, or if the checkout authorization is given, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1406 executes the multiple book detection routine shown in FIG. 17. Assuming that the multiple book detection routine of FIG. 17 returns to FIG. 18, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1407 energizes the sensitizer/de-sensitizer 24 in order to desense the security marker in the circulating item currently being checked out. On the other hand, the block 1407 is bypassed if the desensitization function is disabled or if the loan transaction is a renewal. Thereafter, the microprocessor 60 disables multiple book detection at a block 1408, saves the item identifier of the circulating item being checked out at a block 1410, and at a block 1412 provides a screen display SCR-51 indicating that the loan of a book or CD has been confirmed or a screen display SCR-52 indicating that the loan of a video has been confirmed. Each of these screens displays also instructs the library patron to remove the book or CD from the cradle 14, or the video slot 30, as appropriate. Alternatively, the microprocessor 60 at the block 1412 provides a screen display SCR-60 indicating that a renewal of a book or CD has been confirmed, or a screen display SCR-61 indicating that a renewal of a video has been confirmed, as appropriate. Each of these screens displays also instructs the library patron to remove the book or CD from the cradle 14, or the video slot 30, and also instructs the library patron to place the next item on the cradle 14 or in the video slot 30, as appropriate.
If the current transaction is not a checkin transaction, the microprocessor 60 at a block 1804 disables the patron's library card (if the library has chosen this option and if the microprocessor 60 determines that a library card was read) so that it is blocked and cannot be used again. The microprocessor 60 at a block 1806 then provides the screen display SCR-26 indicating that the self-service library terminal 10 is in a walk-away condition and requesting that the self-service library terminal 10 be cleared. The microprocessor 60 flashes the screen display SCR-26 every thirty seconds and repeats a walk-away tone three times, as indicated by the light bulb symbol. (Accordingly, this walk-away tone indicates that the self-service library terminal 10 requires attention or servicing.) Thereafter, the microprocessor 60 determines whether a patron's library card is on the self-service library terminal 10 or whether there is a circulating item on the cradle 14 or in the video slot 30. If a patron's library card is on the self-service library terminal 10, or if there is a circulating item on the cradle 14 or in the video slot 30, the self-service library terminal 10 waits in this state. If a patron's library card is not on the self-service library terminal 10, or if there is a circulating item on the cradle 14 or in the video slot 30, program flow returns to the welcome screen.
1. A self-service library terminal comprising a controller and a display, wherein the controller is arranged to detect an error state of the self-service library terminal and, while the self-service library terminal is in the error state, to notify a patron through use of the display that the patron may elect to continue a transaction based on the error state.
2. The self-service library terminal of claim 1 wherein the controller is arranged to detect first and second error states, wherein the controller is arranged to notify a patron that the patron may elect to continue a transaction upon detection of the first error state, and wherein the controller is arranged to block the transaction upon detection of the second error state.
3. The self-service library terminal of claim 1 further comprising a printer, and wherein the error state is the printer being out of paper.
4. The self-service library terminal of claim 1 further comprising a printer, and wherein the error state is the printer being out of service.
5. The self-service library terminal of claim 1 wherein the error state is a failure of a communication link.
6. The self-service library terminal of claim 1 further comprising an article receiving area and a scanner, wherein the controller is arranged to control the scanner so as to project a visible indicator onto the article receiving area and so as to change the visible indicator between first and second visible states.
