Abstract: In order to overcome the low speed of the traditional methods of collecting the track information of library lending behaviour, this paper proposes a new method of collecting the track information of library lending behaviour based on RFID technology. In this method, access software is used to export the record data of borrowing behaviour and classify them according to types. The original data format is converted into the materialised data, and Apriori algorithm is used to analyse the association and mine the track information of library borrowing behaviour. RFID reader is used as the main part, and the track information of library borrowing behaviour is collected through the track estimation algorithm. The experimental results show that the information collection rate of this method is between 5.26 s-6.39 s, and the collection effect of library borrowing behaviour track information is better.

Keywords: RFID technology; library borrowing behaviour; trajectory information acquisition; borrowing behaviour record data.
