Hereinafter, an agricultural machine monitoring system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.
[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is an overall view of an agricultural machine monitoring system.
The agricultural machine monitoring system 1 is a system for monitoring an agricultural machine 2 such as a tractor, a combiner, or a rice transplanter. When monitoring the agricultural machine 2, various data regarding farm work are used.

The agricultural machine monitoring system 1 includes a communication device 3, a mobile terminal 4, and a server 5.
The communication device 3 is a device that is mounted on the agricultural machine 2 and can communicate with an external device. The communication device 3 includes a first acquisition unit 30. The first acquisition unit 30 can acquire operation information of the agricultural machine 2, that is, information (agricultural performance) related to farm work performed by the agricultural machine 2.

First, taking a tractor as an example, the collection of agricultural results, the portable terminal 4 and the server 5 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the tractor 2 includes a traveling vehicle (traveling vehicle body) 11, an engine 12, a transmission 13, a driver's seat 14, and a control device 15. Various working devices can be detachably connected to the rear portion of the traveling vehicle 11. Specifically, a three-point link mechanism 16 is provided at the rear portion of the traveling vehicle 11 so as to be movable up and down, and a PTO shaft that transmits power from the engine 12 is provided. For example, a fertilizer spraying device, a tilling device, an agrochemical spraying device, a sowing spraying device, or a harvesting device can be attached to the three-point link mechanism 16 as the working device 17. FIG. 11 shows an example in which the fertilizer application device is attached to the three-point link mechanism 16.

  The control device 15 is a device that performs travel system control, work system control, and the like of the tractor 2. The control device 15 controls the operation of the engine 12 as travel system control, for example. Further, when receiving an input from an operation tool such as an operation lever or an operation switch provided around the driver's seat 14 as work system control, the control device 15 moves up and down the three-point link mechanism 16 according to the input value, and the PTO shaft. Controls the output (rotation speed) and other operations. The travel system control and work system control by the control device 15 are not limited to the above-described contents. Control signals for performing traveling system control and work system control and detection signals detected by various devices mounted on the tractor 2 are output to the in-vehicle network.

  The communication device 3 (first acquisition unit 30) is connected to the control device 15 via an in-vehicle network or the like. This 1st acquisition part 30 acquires the control signal and detection signal which were output to the vehicle-mounted network, when the tractor 2 grade | etc., Operate | moves. For example, when a rotary tiller connected to the rear part of the tractor 2 is operated (when plowing is performed), the first acquisition unit 30 performs the rotation speed of the rotary, the load of the rotary, the engine speed, the vehicle speed, the depth of plowing. Such data is acquired through the in-vehicle network. That is, the 1st acquisition part 30 acquires the rotation speed of a rotary, the load of a rotary, the engine speed, a vehicle speed, and the working depth which are the agricultural results at the time of plowing as farm work.

Moreover, when the fertilizer connected to the rear part of the tractor 2 is operated (when fertilization is performed), data such as the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the fertilizer amount is acquired through the in-vehicle network. That is, the 1st acquisition part 30 acquires the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the fertilizer amount which are the agricultural results at the time of performing fertilization as farm work.
Alternatively, when the agricultural chemical spraying device connected to the rear portion of the tractor 2 is operated (when the agricultural chemical spraying is performed), data such as the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the agricultural chemical spraying amount are acquired through the in-vehicle network. That is, the 1st acquisition part 30 acquires the vehicle speed, the engine speed, and the amount of agricultural chemical spraying which are the agricultural results at the time of agricultural chemical spraying as agricultural work.

That is, when the agricultural machine 2 is the tractor 2, the first acquisition unit 30 collects farming results of farm work performed by an apparatus connected to the tractor 2.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the communication device 3 includes a first storage unit 31 and a first communication unit 32. The 1st memory | storage part 31 memorize | stores primarily the data containing an agricultural performance. The first communication unit 32 includes a device that performs short-distance or long-distance communication, and can be connected to an external device. For example, the first communication unit 32 is a device that performs wireless communication using IEEE 802.11 series Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, registered trademark), which is a communication standard. The first communication unit 32 may be a device that performs wireless communication via a mobile phone communication network or a device that performs wireless communication via a data communication network. Therefore, the agricultural performance collected by the first acquisition unit 30 of the communication device 3 can be transmitted to an external device.

The agricultural performance obtained by the communication device 3 can be transmitted to the server 5 via the mobile terminal 4, for example.
The mobile terminal 4 is configured by, for example, a smart phone (multifunctional mobile phone) or a tablet PC having a relatively high computing capability. The portable terminal 4 includes a second communication unit 21, a second acquisition unit 22, a second storage unit 23, and a display unit 24.

  The second communication unit 21 includes a device that performs wireless communication with the communication device 3 and the server 5. The second communication unit 21 is a device that performs wireless communication using, for example, IEEE 802.11 series Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, registered trademark), which is a communication standard. The second communication unit 21 is a device that performs wireless communication through, for example, a mobile phone communication network, a data communication network, or a mobile phone communication network.

  When the mobile terminal 4 is connected to the communication device 3 by the second communication unit 21, the second acquisition unit 22 requests the communication device 3 for the agricultural performance and acquires the agricultural performance from the communication device 3. Further, when the mobile terminal 4 is connected to the server 5 by the second communication unit 21, the second acquisition unit 22 acquires an agricultural plan (work plan) from the server 5. The second storage unit 23 stores data such as farming results transmitted from the communication device 3 and data such as work plans transmitted from the server 5.

In addition, when acquiring the agricultural performance, the portable terminal 4 acquires the machine identification information of the agricultural machine 2 that acquired the agricultural performance in association with the agricultural performance. Thereby, it is possible to extract an agricultural performance using machine identification information.
The mobile terminal 4 may have a position detection unit 25. The position detection unit 25 receives a signal (GPS satellite position, transmission time, correction information, etc.) transmitted from a positioning satellite (for example, GPS satellite), and based on the received signal (for example, latitude, It is a device that detects (longitude). For example, if a farm worker gets on the tractor 2 and performs farm work, the position of the farm worker at the time of farm work, that is, the place at the time of farm work can be detected.

Next, the server 5 will be described in detail.
The server 5 includes a work plan creation unit 40 that creates a work plan, and a work plan storage unit 41 that stores the work plan. The work plan creation unit 40 includes a program stored in the server 5. The work plan is a schedule of farm work, and is a plan of a predetermined place (farm field), farm work, time for farm work (farm work time), a farm worker performing farm work, details of farm work, and the like.

  Agricultural work is, for example, flooring, paddying, tilling, sowing, rice planting, plucking, grooving, weeding, top dressing, harvesting, and the like. The farm work time is a time zone in which farm work is performed, and can be represented by, for example, from 9:00 to 17:00, an end time at which the farm work is ended from a start time at which the farm work is started. The details of the farm work include the fertilizer name and fertilizer application amount when the farm work is fertilization, and the agricultural chemical name and the agricultural chemical application amount when the farm work is application of the agricultural chemical. The information regarding the machine used for performing the farm work may be the details of the farm work.

For example, a work plan can be created by logging into the server 5 a device 6 that can be connected to the server 5 (referred to as a connected device). The connection device 6 is a computer or the like that can be operated by an administrator, and is, for example, a personal computer. In order to log in to the server 5, it is preferable to register a password or the like in the server 5 in advance.
When the connected device 6 logs in to the server 5 and the connected device 6 requests the server 5 to create a work plan, the work plan creating unit 40 responds to the request by the work plan creating unit 40 to create a work plan. Is displayed on the connected device 6. The work plan creation unit 40 displays, for example, a work plan setting screen for inputting a crop name, a farm field, farm work, farm work time, a farm worker, details of farm work, and the like. In addition, the work plan creation unit 40 stores the items (a crop name, field, farm work, farm work time, farm worker, details of farm work) input on the work plan setting screen in the work plan storage unit 41 as a work plan. .

Therefore, a work plan can be easily created by connecting the connection device 6 to the server 5, and the created work plan can be stored in the work plan storage unit 41.
The server 5 also includes a work instruction unit 42. The work instruction unit 42 includes a program stored in the server 5. The work instruction unit 42 transmits the work plan to a computer that can be used by the worker, for example, the portable terminal 4.

When the portable terminal 4 assigned to the farmer logs in to the server 5 and there is a request for transmission of the work plan from the portable terminal 4, the work instruction unit 42 is assigned to the portable terminal 4 in response to this request. The work plan including the worker is extracted from the work plan storage unit 41, and the work plan is transmitted to the mobile terminal 4.
Therefore, the work plan can be acquired by connecting the portable terminal 4 to the server 5. Thereby, the farm worker can perform farm work while looking at the received work plan.

Next, the mobile terminal 4 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 4 can display a main screen (first screen) Q1. On this main screen Q1, a notification button 50 and a collection button 51 are displayed. The notification button 50 and the collection button 51 can be selected.
When the notification button 50 is selected, a login process is executed between the portable terminal 4 and the server 5. After logging in, the second acquisition unit 22 of the portable terminal 4 requests the server 5 to transmit a work plan. The server 5 transmits a work plan corresponding to the mobile terminal 4 to the mobile terminal 4. The server 5 is connected to the mobile terminal 4 by, for example, a crop name, a plowing place, a plowing date, a fertilizing place, a fertilizing date, a fertilizer name, a fertilizing amount, a pesticide application place, a pesticide application date, a pesticide name, a pesticide application amount The work plan including the harvesting place, the worker name, the agricultural machine 2, etc. is transmitted.

  When the collection button 51 is selected, the mobile terminal 4 is connected to the communication device 3 and acquires the agricultural performance and the like collected by the communication device 3. The mobile terminal 4 transmits the acquired agricultural record and the like to the server 5. The portable terminal 4 transmits, for example, the rotational speed of the rotary, the load of the rotary, the engine speed, the vehicle speed, the tilling depth, the fertilizer application amount, the agricultural chemical application amount, the harvest amount, etc. Note that the notification button 50 and the collection button 51 are separate, but the notification button 50 and the collection button 51 may be combined.

  Now, the work plan transmitted from the server 5 is displayed on the work plan screen Q2 of the portable terminal 4, as shown in FIG. In addition to the work plan, the portable terminal 4 can display a completion button 52 indicating completion of the farm work. When the completion button 52 is selected, the portable terminal 4 converts the work plan shown on the work plan screen Q2 into an agricultural record. Specifically, when the completion button 52 is selected, the portable terminal 4 converts items that cannot be obtained by the communication device 3 among the items indicated in the work plan as agricultural results. For example, if the work plan is `` Crop name, Tilling location, Tilling date, Fertilization location, Fertilization date, Fertilizer name, Fertilizer application amount, Pesticide application location, Pesticide application date, Pesticide name, Pesticide application amount, Worker name, Farm work In the case of “Time, Agricultural Machinery”, items excluding fertilizer application, pesticide application, and harvest are converted into agricultural performance. In addition, when converting a work plan into an agricultural performance, a predetermined item can be corrected by operation of the portable terminal 4. The portable terminal 4 transmits the converted agricultural performance to the server 5.

In other words, the mobile terminal 4 is used for farming results (cultivation location, tilling date, fertilization location, fertilization date, fertilizer name, fertilizer application amount, pesticide application location, agrochemical application date, pesticide name, pesticide application amount, worker name, Agricultural work time, agricultural machine) is transmitted to the server 5. The agricultural performance transmitted from the portable terminal 4 is stored in the information storage unit 43 provided in the server 5.
Therefore, the mobile terminal 4 can acquire data including the agricultural performance collected by the communication device 3 and can acquire a work plan including the agricultural work time from the server 5.

  The communication device 3 has a signal changing unit (information adding unit) 33. This signal change part 33 adds the information (status information) which shows the state of the agricultural machine 2 among the agricultural results of the 1st acquisition part 30 to a beacon. Here, the beacon is a broadcast signal used in wireless communication between the mobile terminal 4 and the communication device 3, and includes a service set identifier (SSID) and the like.

The signal changing unit 33 adds status information to the SSID. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a predetermined SSID may be referred to as a “set SSID”, and an SSID to which status information is added may be referred to as a “changed SSID”.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the transition of the SSID.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the ignition switch (IG-SW) of the agricultural machine 2 changes from off (OFF) to on (ON) at the time point P <b> 1, the first acquisition unit 30 has turned on the ignition switch. Key-on information that is status information indicating When the first acquisition unit 30 acquires the key-on information, the signal change unit 33 changes the changed SSID to “KUBOTA-010” by adding the key-on information to “KUBOTA” that is the set SSID. That is, the signal changing unit 33 adds “010” indicating that the ignition switch is turned on to the end of the set SSID. The symbol “-” shown between “KUBOTA” and “010”, which are set SSIDs, indicates a delimiter between the set SSID and newly added key-on information.

  Further, when the ignition switch (IG-SW) changes from on (ON) to off (OFF) at the time point P2, the first acquisition unit 30 is key-off that is status information indicating that the ignition switch has been turned off. Get information. When the first acquisition unit 30 acquires the key-off information, the signal changing unit 33 performs a process of returning the changed SSID (KUBOTA-010) to the set SSID (KUBOTA). Therefore, the signal changing unit 33 changes the SSID based on the status information indicating whether the ignition switch is on or off. In the above-described embodiment, the status information when the ignition switch is turned on or off has been described. However, as a matter of course, the present invention is not limited to this.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the signal change part 33 changes SSID based on the status information which can confirm a motion (drive) of the agricultural machine 2. FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the signal changing unit 33 changes the SSID based on status information indicating, for example, whether the agricultural machine 2 is driven by an engine, whether a working device is driven, and the like. The presence / absence of engine drive can be detected by the engine speed as described above. Further, whether or not the work device is driven can be detected by rotating the PTO shaft. As the presence / absence of driving of the agricultural machine 2, the presence / absence of traveling may be detected by the vehicle speed or the like, and the SSID may be changed based on the presence / absence of traveling.

Therefore, according to the signal change part 33, the status information which can recognize the change of the drive of the agricultural machine 2 can be added to setting SSID.
In addition, when the signal changing unit 33 creates the changed SSID, characters or the like (eg, 010, 011) indicating status information are added to the end of the set SSID. It can be added anywhere. Further, the signal changing unit 33 may change the set SSID with a predetermined calculation formula based on predetermined status information. The relationship between the status information acquired by the first acquisition unit 30 and the characters indicating the status information is stored in the communication device 3 in advance, and the signal changing unit 33 creates a changed SSID using this relationship. .

Now, as shown in FIG. 1, a storage box 8 for storing the mobile terminal 4 is provided around the storage place P or the storage place P of the agricultural machine 2. The storage location is, for example, a farm barn, a garage, or a warehouse.
In the storage box 8, an outlet for supplying power is stored, and the portable terminal 4 can be connected to the outlet. In addition, the storage box 8 is provided with a locking device.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the farm work in the field is completed, the worker puts the agricultural machine 2 into the storage place P and stops the traveling and driving of the agricultural machine 2. Moreover, an operator accommodates the portable terminal 4 in the storage box 8, and locks it with a locking device.
The mobile terminal 4 has a monitoring unit 26. The monitoring unit 26 includes an electronic circuit, a program, and the like, and monitors the agricultural machine 2. Specifically, the monitoring unit 26 outputs an alarm to the outside when the state of the agricultural machine 2 changes during monitoring (after starting monitoring). For example, when the monitoring unit 26 starts from a state where the engine of the agricultural machine 2 is stopped or detects movement from a state where the agricultural machine 2 is stopped, the monitoring unit 26 outputs an alarm to the outside. Here, “starting from the state in which the engine of the agricultural machine 2 is stopped”, “moving from the state in which the agricultural machine 2 is stopped”, etc., from the communication device 3 at predetermined intervals as described above. It can be grasped by a broadcast signal output to the outside, that is, a beacon including an SSID.

  In the present invention, monitoring is started based on the work plan acquired by the second acquisition unit 22 of the mobile terminal 4. Specifically, the monitoring unit 26 extracts the farm work time included in the work plan and starts monitoring when the farm work end time indicated by the farm time is over. For example, in the case where the farm work time of the work plan is 9:00 to 17:00, the monitoring unit 26 starts monitoring when the current time passes 17:00, which is the farming end time.

  More specifically, the monitoring unit 26 starts monitoring when the farm work end time has passed under the situation where the traveling and driving of the agricultural machine 2 are stopped. Whether the traveling and driving of the agricultural machine 2 are stopped can be determined by the SSID included in the beacon by the mobile terminal 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the mobile terminal 4 receives the set SSID, the monitoring unit 26 can determine that the agricultural machine 2 has stopped driving. The current time can be detected by a timer provided in advance in the portable terminal 4. In addition, when the mobile terminal 4 has the position detection unit 25, the time obtained from the positioning satellite may be used as the current time.

When the monitoring unit 26 starts monitoring, the mobile terminal 4 may not receive the SSID from the communication device 3 in some cases. In that case, as shown in FIG. 6, it is considered that the agricultural machine 2 does not reach the storage location and is located outside the storage location. In this case, the monitoring unit 26 outputs an alarm indicating that the agricultural machine 2 has not returned to the storage location.
FIG. 7 is a diagram summarizing the monitoring flow of the agricultural machine 2.
As shown in FIG. 7, the communication device 3 always transmits a beacon, which is a broadcast signal, to the outside regardless of the start and end of the monitoring unit 26 (S1). The portable terminal 4 acquires a work plan from the server 5 by the second acquisition unit 22 (S2). The monitoring unit 26 of the portable terminal 4 enters a monitoring start process when the farming end time has passed in the farming work time included in the work plan (S3). In the monitoring start process, when the mobile terminal 4 cannot receive a beacon, the monitoring unit 26 transmits an alarm to the outside (S3-1). For example, an alarm is transmitted by e-mail or the like to a predetermined report destination.

On the other hand, the monitoring unit 26 monitors when the mobile terminal 4 can receive a beacon and can determine that the agricultural machine 2 is not driving or running based on the SSID (set SSID, changed SSID) included in the beacon. Is started (S3-2).
When the ignition switch of the agricultural machine 2 is turned on in a situation where the monitoring unit 26 is monitoring, the communication device 3 is a changed SSID including status information indicating that the ignition switch is turned on. “KUBOTA-010” is transmitted (S4). When the mobile terminal 4 receives an SSID of “KUBOTA-010” (S5), the monitoring unit 26 indicates that the ignition switch has been turned on from off during monitoring, that is, the state of the agricultural machine 2 has changed. Is detected (S6). Then, the monitoring unit 26 transmits an alarm to a predetermined report destination (S7). For example, the monitoring unit 26 transmits an alarm to the report destination by e-mail or the like. Note that the alarm may be transmitted by any method, and the alarm may be notified by sound or the alarm may be notified by light.

Note that the monitoring unit 26 outputs an alarm to the outside based on the status information included in the beacon. Instead, during monitoring, when the mobile terminal 4 can no longer receive a beacon from a situation where the mobile terminal 4 is receiving a beacon, that is, when the mobile terminal 4 cannot receive an SSID from a situation where it is receiving an SSID. The monitoring unit 26 may output an alarm to the outside.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the communication device 3 is removed from the storage location P due to the movement of the agricultural machine 2 from the storage location P during monitoring, the mobile terminal 4 is transmitted from the communication device 3. SSID cannot be received. In response to the fact that the SSID cannot be received during monitoring, the monitoring unit 26 transmits an alarm to the outside. In this way, it is possible to detect that the agricultural machine 2 has moved away from the storage location P even when attempting to steal without driving the agricultural machine 2, that is, without starting the engine or the like. Therefore, the agricultural machine 2 can be prevented from being stolen.

  As mentioned above, according to this invention, the agricultural machine 2 can be monitored only by using the portable terminal 4 and the communication apparatus 3 mounted in the agricultural machine 2. For example, the agricultural machine 2 can be watched only by storing the agricultural machine 2 in the storage place, stopping the driving of the agricultural machine 2 and installing the portable terminal 4 around the storage place or the storage place. . In particular, the mobile terminal 4 acquires the agricultural work schedule by the second acquisition unit 22, and the monitoring unit 26 monitors the agricultural machine 2 based on the agricultural work schedule acquired by the second acquisition unit 22. While the farm work is not performed in 2, the farm machine 2 can be reliably monitored.

  Moreover, since the 2nd acquisition part 22 acquires agricultural work time as a schedule of agricultural work, and the monitoring part 26 is monitoring the agricultural machine 2 when it is outside the agricultural work time which the 2nd acquisition part 22 acquired. Monitoring can be done in conjunction with farm work hours. In other words, it is not necessary to put the farm work time into the portable terminal 4 for monitoring the agricultural machine 2, and the portable terminal 4 automatically acquires the farm work time and starts monitoring using the farm work time. Can be monitored by simply carrying out farming as usual and putting the agricultural machine 2 in a storage location.

In addition, the communication device 3 is a device that can collect the farming results performed by the agricultural machine 2 while transmitting the collected farming results to the mobile terminal 4. The mobile terminal 4 is transmitted from the communication device 3. It is a device that can transmit the agricultural results to the server 5. That is, the communication device 3 and the portable terminal 4 can monitor the agricultural machine 2 while being devices that collect agricultural results. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a device for monitoring the agricultural machine 2 separately from the device for collecting the agricultural results, and the device for collecting the agricultural results and the device for monitoring the agricultural machine 2 are combined. Can do.
[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 9 shows a monitoring system for the agricultural machine 2 in the second embodiment. The monitoring system for the agricultural machine 2 monitors the agricultural machine 2 when the mobile terminal 4 is installed at a predetermined location. Hereinafter, a second embodiment will be described. The description of the configuration common to the first embodiment is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the mobile terminal 4 has a detection unit 27. The detection unit 27 includes an electronic circuit, a program, and the like. The detection unit 27 detects whether the mobile terminal 4 is installed in a predetermined place, that is, a storage place where the agricultural machine 2 is stored or around the storage place. Specifically, the detection unit 27 is connected to the outlet of the storage box 8 so that power is supplied to the mobile terminal 4, receives a beacon from the communication device 3, and further receives a beacon. Is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, it is determined that the portable terminal 4 is installed in or around the storage location. That is, the detection unit 27 detects that the mobile terminal 4 is stored in the storage box 8. The predetermined time is, for example, several minutes (a few minutes). Of course, this number is not limited, but it is desirable not to exceed 10 minutes.

When the detection unit 27 determines that the mobile terminal 4 is installed in or around the storage location, the monitoring unit 26 starts monitoring. The processing after the monitoring unit 26 starts monitoring is the same as that in the first embodiment described above.
As described above, according to the present invention, the agricultural machine 2 can be easily monitored simply by detecting where the mobile terminal 4 is installed by the detection unit 27. In particular, since the detection unit 27 detects that the portable terminal 4 is stored in the storage box 8 installed around the storage location or the storage location, the agricultural machine 2 can be reliably monitored.

The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the claims,
All modifications within the meaning and range equivalent to the terms of the claims are intended to be included. In the above-described embodiment, the SSID is changed when the state of the agricultural machine 2 is in a predetermined state (for example, the ignition switch is turned on), but when the state of the agricultural machine 2 is changed. The SSID may be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the engine is changed from a state where the engine is stopped to a start of driving (when the status information changes from no engine driving to driving), as shown in FIG.
