In his new business plan, he wants to have the customers do everything online but the picking up and returning the videos. He wants a VRS website that allows the customers to become members or search the video inventory (by video name, actor name, director name, type of video (new release, western, mystery, drama, comedy, children, etc.), or video rating). The VRS website also allows members to log on as a member, search the video inventory (as before), select videos to rent (videos must be located at the store location where the member wants to pick up the videos), modify membership information, and check out the Slide Ian Sommerville 2004 Software Engineering, 7th edition.

On the day before a rented video is due to be returned, the VRS will email members with due notices which reminds them that the video is due. This due email will be sent to the member every 3 days after the videos due date. After 60 days of being past its due date, a $30 charge for each overdue video is processed on the members credit card, and an email is sent to the member to notify them of this charge. The length of rental is 5 days. The pick-up and return of rented videos is only done through a drive-through facility at the video store. The ability for the customer to come into the video rental store to search for and rent videos is no longer available with this new business plan.

q Actor? The owner of the video store also wants to automate his inventory processing. He can now get newly ordered videos with a video ID (via a bar code) on the video packaging. When new videos arrive at a store, the owner wants to simply scan the video ID which then retrieves the video information from the video distributor via the Internet (the video distributors provide this feature on their websites). All the video information (i.e., its name, rating (e.g., G, PG, R), director, length in minutes, actors) are automatically stored in the stores video inventory. The owner then indicates the store location where the video will be placed. When he wants to remove a video from the store because it is never rented or it is damaged (or for whatever reason), he simply chooses the remove option and scans the video ID to be removed. Slide 6
