The Proposal of Personal Book Management System Using ChatGPT

Abstract

Sales of physical books have been continuously declining. A reasons is the difficulty of managing them compared to e-books. To make purchasing physical books more convenient, a simple system that requires no specialized knowledge is considered. In the field of library management, various inventory inspection systems have been developed to reduce the burden of book inventory checks. This study focuses on ChatGPT, a type of AI chatbot. Since ChatGPT enables image and text processing with no-code or low-code solutions, the feasibility of extracting book information from images using OCR and converting it into a list is examined. For verification, spine images of different book categories, including paperbacks, general books, and comics, are captured, and the extracted text data is converted into a CSV file using ChatGPT’s OCR capabilities. To determine the minimum readable text size, images are taken at different resolutions, and OCR processing is carried out.
