The Design Of Embedded Hotel Customer-Service System Based On ARM And QT Platform

With great economic growth, the number of hotels in China has sharply increased. At present, domestic hotel service-management systems are mostly designed based on the concept of financial management, which, is not considerate enough and can only supply few service, thus doesn't accord with the comprehensive needs of informatization.In view of the situation above, this paper introduces a design scheme of embedded hotel customer-service system based on ARM9 and QT software platform. This system can mainly be divided into two parts, a server located in hotel management center and terminal equipments in customer rooms. A website including much useful information for hotel management such as check-in and check-out information, the reservation situation of dining-room and meeting-room is set up on the server. ARM9, wireless network card TL-WN321G and kinds of peripheral elements are used as main hardware platform of mobile terminal equipment. Linux operating system is transplanted, wireless network card driver and GUI system based on QT software are installed on the terminal. Besides, Konqueror/E browser is transplanted on the terminal and correlative codes are designed to make this system support Chinese display. UPnP network is configured in the system to realize remote control and intellectualization. The communication between server and each mobile terminal is dependent on IEEE802.11b protocol standard and WLAN technology. Each terminal can get touch with the server through wireless network card and router.The detailed analysis and introduce are made from four aspects, network, operation system, GUI of terminal equipment and server. In this system, terminal can easily visit the website on server by Konqueror/E browser and many kinds of services can be supplied, such as the check of customer room information, the reservation of dining-room and meeting-room of the hotel, individual account inquiry, weather forecast and present stock information, etc. Besides, UPnP is realized in this system, users can easily control each terminal by the web page on the server.
