Smart Self-Service Transcripts and Certificates Printing System Supporting Campus Services and Epidemic Prevention

Abstract

Teachers and students in universities often need to print various transcripts and certificates. The service offices of campus usually require dedicated staff to provide stamping and printing services, which may be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, the traditional way of queuing in the service offices during the COVID-19 pandemic has the high risk of crowd gathering induced cross-infection of the epidemic. To overcome the above problems, a smart self-service transcripts and certificates printing system (SSTCPS) has been developed, which enables highly efficient unmanned campus service and epidemic prevention. This article introduces the design of the SSTCPS, demand analysis, system architecture, functional modules, and implementation effects. The SSTCPS consists of six modules: login authentication, item selection and preview, payment, printing and stamping, authenticity verification, and system management. It has the advantages of high efficiency, convenience, diversification, epidemic prevention, and intelligent management. Through the use of the system, it demonstrates that the smart self-service printing system could simplify work process, improve work efficiency, reduce the workload of management staff, and significantly reduce the risk of crowd gathering induced cross-infection of the epidemic.
