Abstract—To enhance the utilization efficiency of library self-service equipment and minimize manual intervention, this study proposes a systematic framework for operational status monitoring and automated alarm issuance. Leveraging technical methodologies, the system continuously tracks the operational status of network-connected self-service facilities, including online connectivity status, printer consumable levels, and operational application software functionality. The monitoring center serves as the central control hub, conducting scheduled network device diagnostics to ensure seamless normal operation. A Quick Response (QR)-code-based repair reporting mechanism is established, enabling readers to efficiently report equipment issues via code scanning, with repair requests directly transmitted to librarian workstations. Collected monitoring data and user-submitted repair information undergo systematic screening and processing to generate actionable alerts, which are delivered to designated terminals as pop-up notifications for immediate attention. By integrating proactive equipment monitoring, user repair reporting, and automated alerting, the proposed system swiftly addresses operational disruptions, thereby improving equipment availability, reducing staff workload, and elevating the intelligent service capabilities of libraries. This approach demonstrates a practical solution to optimize self-service facility management, enhancing user experience and advancing institutional service efficiency through technology-driven interventions.
