Description

  The present invention relates to a movement range restriction system, a movement range restriction method, and a movement range restriction terminal, and more specifically, within a movable range in which a restriction target equipped with a terminal capable of specifying a current position is arbitrarily set. The present invention relates to a movement range restriction system, a movement range restriction method, and a movement range restriction terminal that restrict the movement range to be restricted.

  In recent years, wildlife damage to agricultural products has been spreading, and as countermeasures, methods to emit sounds that threaten birds or animals or sounds that birds and animals dislike, methods that emit light by reflecting sunlight or lighting lighting, wolves, etc. A method of spraying the scent of manure of the natural animals of the birds and beasts has been devised and implemented.

  However, the birds and beasts have the ability to learn that the above-described countermeasure methods are not dangerous, and there is a problem that the effects of the countermeasures against the damage caused by these methods are not sustained, and the effects gradually fade. Therefore, it is conceivable to breed natural enemies of birds and beasts as a sustainable and effective measure against damage to birds and beasts. Examples of such natural enemy animals include dogs that have been familiar to humans since ancient times and are easy to train.

  Patent Document 1 discloses an apparatus that anchors an animal (such as a dog) in a movable state within a specific range. According to this Patent Document 1, by installing a plurality of positioning tools so as to surround an agricultural land, and further by installing an annular wire equipped with a moving ring to which an animal is anchored in a state of surrounding the outer periphery of the positioning tool. The tethered animal can move freely around the farmland while preventing it from entering the farmland.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a pet exercise rail that enables exercise in a state where a pet such as a dog is tethered. According to Patent Document 2, an animal (dog or the like) is tethered to a roller that is movable along a laid rail, thereby enabling movement within a movable range.

  However, as described above, since the birds and beasts have the ability to learn that they are not dangerous, when the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 or 2 is used, the range in which the animals and animals can move is as follows. There is a fear of learning. Therefore, the inventions of Patent Documents 1 and 2 cannot be expected to have a sustained effect as measures against damage to farm animals.

  In addition, since the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 or 2 requires the installation of a structure, when setting a movable range in a wide range, the structure must also be installed in a wide range. Cost increases. Therefore, as a more sustainable and inexpensive measure against damage to birds and beasts, it is preferable to limit the movable range without tethering natural enemy animals.

(Embodiment 2)

  A second embodiment according to the present invention will be described below based on FIG. 1 (a), FIG. 5 and FIG. As in the case of the first embodiment, the present embodiment is exemplified to embody the technical idea of the present invention, and is not intended to specify the present invention as the embodiment. Absent. In addition, in this Embodiment, the same thing as Embodiment 1 attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description.

[Moving range regulation system]

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram schematically illustrating a movable range of a restriction target to which the terminal 1 is attached in the movement range restriction system of the second embodiment.

  Compared to the first embodiment, the movement range regulation system of the present embodiment newly provides a second movable range 6 in advance as an additional movable range of the regulation target 3 to which the terminal 1 is attached. The point is different. Also, the terminal 1 issues a warning to the restriction target even when the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the first movable range 5 and further outside the second movable range 6.

  The second movable range 6 is a range adjacent to the first movable range 5 and is an additional range for retaining the restriction object 3 that deviates from the first movable range 5, as shown in FIG. The first movable range 5 is provided so as to surround the first movable range 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this mode, and the second movable range 6 may be provided so as to be adjacent to at least a part of the first movable range 5. Furthermore, the second movable range 6 is preferably set without overlapping the first movable range 5. In addition, the number of second movable ranges 6 is not particularly limited, and a plurality of second movable ranges 6 may be provided. In this case, the respective second movable ranges 6 may be adjacent to each other or may be separated from each other. However, each second movable range 6 needs to be provided adjacent to at least the first movable range 5. In addition, the width of the second movable range 6 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a range equivalent to or wider than the first movable range 5. Furthermore, the shape of the region of the second movable range 6 is not particularly limited.

  In the movement range regulation system of the present embodiment, for example, the restriction target 3 to which the terminal 1 is attached deviates outside the first movement range 5, and the first movement range is generated by the first warning by the warning unit 17. Even when it is not possible to stay within 5, it is possible to further restrict the restriction object 3 so that it remains within the second movable range 6 set in advance. As a result, it is possible to suppress the restriction object 3 to which the terminal 1 is attached from greatly deviating from the first movable range 5.

<Terminal for movement range regulation>
The terminal according to the present embodiment can use the terminal 1 used in the first embodiment.

  However, the movable range storage unit 212 of the present embodiment can store information related to the second movable range 6 in addition to the information related to the first movable range 5. In addition to the setting of the first movable range 5, the movable range setting means 222 can further set the second movable range 6.

  In addition to determining whether the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the first movable range 5, the determining unit 223 according to the present embodiment is further outside the second movable range 6. Whether or not it is judged.

  In addition, the warning command unit 224 issues a second warning to the restriction target 3 to the warning unit 17 when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the second movable range 6. To order. However, when the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the second movable range 6 but inside the first movable range 5, the warning command unit 224 notifies the warning unit 17 of the second warning. Do not perform the command.

[Movement range restriction method]
Next, the movement range restriction method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6 using an example of processing using the movement range restriction system of the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the movement range regulation system in the second embodiment.

  The movement range regulation method of the present embodiment includes a first movable range setting step, a second movable range setting step, a first current position calculation step (current position calculation step) S201, and a first determination step S202. The first warning step S203, the second current position calculation step S204, the second determination step S205, and the second warning step S206 are included at least.

  First, the movable range setting unit 222 sets the first movable range 5 based on the map information stored in the map information storage unit 211 (first movable range setting step). Similarly, the movable range setting unit 222 can move the second based on the map information stored in the map information storage unit 211 and the information on the first movable range stored in the movable range storage unit. The range 6 is set (second movable range setting step). Since the second movable range 6 is set based on the first movable range 5, the second movable range setting step is executed after the first movable range setting step. The first movable range 5 and the second movable range 6 can be set by wireless communication, wired communication, direct input, or the like, similarly to the setting of the first movable range 5 in the first embodiment. .

  In addition, as a setting method of the 2nd movable range 6, similarly to the setting method of the 1st movable range 5, for example, a user designates several points more than 3 based on map information, and these points are made into a straight line. Alternatively, a region formed by a curve can be set as the second movable range. Alternatively, the user may designate one specific point based on the map information, and a circular area drawn with an arbitrary radius around the designated point may be set as the second movable range. However, the second movable range 6 may be set such that a region where the restriction target 3 is obviously difficult to move, for example, the sea or a river cannot be included in the second movable range 6. Examples of the location designation method include a method of designating directly on a map, a method of designating by latitude and longitude, and a method of designating by address. Moreover, the information regarding the 2nd movable range 6 is the information which represented the 2nd movable range 6 in the said map information.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the current position calculation means 221 calculates the current position of the terminal 1 using the received GPS radio wave (first current position calculation step S201). Subsequently, based on the information regarding the current position of the terminal 1 obtained in the first current position calculation step S201, the determination unit 223 determines whether or not the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the first movable range 5. (First determination step S202).

  In the first determination step S202, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 1 is not outside the first movable range 5, the restriction target 3 to which the terminal 1 is attached is first movable. Since it remains inside the range 5, the process of the movement range control system of this Embodiment is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the first movable range 5 in the first determination step S202, the warning unit 17 A first warning is given (first warning step S203).

  After an elapse of an arbitrary time after the first warning step S203, the current position calculation means 221 receives the GPS radio wave again, and calculates the current position of the terminal 1 using the GPS radio wave (second current position). Calculation step S204). The arbitrary time is provided in consideration of the time required for the regulated object 3 that has received the first warning to return to the inside of the first movable range 5. The length of the arbitrary time is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set according to the use situation.

  Subsequently, based on the information on the current position of the terminal 1 obtained in the second current position calculation step S204, the determination unit 223 determines whether or not the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the second movable range 6. (Second determination step S205). In the second determination step S205, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 1 is not outside the second movable range 6 (that is, when determining that the current position is inside the second movable range 6). Then, the process of the movement range regulation system of this Embodiment is complete | finished.

  Further, even when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the second movable range 6 in the second determination step S205, the current position of the terminal 1 can be moved to the first position. In the case of being inside the range 5, this means that the restriction object 3 to which the terminal 1 is attached has returned to the inside of the first movable range 5, and the processing of the movement range restriction system of the second embodiment Ends.

  On the other hand, in the second determination step S205, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the first movable range 5 and the second movable range 6, the warning unit 17 controls A second warning is given to the target 3 (second warning step S206). The second warning notifies the restriction target 3 that the current position of the terminal 1 is outside the first movable range 5 and the second movable range 6. Returning to the inside of the first movable range 5 or the second movable range 6 can be promoted. After the second warning step S206, the process of the movement range regulation system of this embodiment is terminated.

  The second warning method is not particularly limited, and may be the same as the first warning method or may be different from the first warning method. For example, when the same stimulus is used for the first warning and the second warning, it is preferable that the strength of the stimulus as the second warning is stronger than the strength of the stimulus as the first warning. As a result, the second warning can prompt the restriction target 3 to return to a range where it can move more strongly than the first warning, and the restriction target 3 does not return to the first movable range 5. In this case, the second movable range 6 can be kept.

  Similarly to the case of the first embodiment, after the process of the movement range restriction system of the present embodiment is finished, the process of the movement range restriction system can be repeatedly performed. As a result, the movable range of the restriction object 3 can be continuously restricted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the restriction object 3 to which the terminal 1 is attached deviates from the first movable range 5, the second movable range 6 is set in advance and the second movable is allowed. When the restricted object 3 deviates from the range 6, it is possible to prevent the restricted object 3 from greatly deviating from the first movable range 5 by performing a further warning.

  Further, the warning instruction means 224 of the present embodiment, when the determination means 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 10 is outside the second movable range 6, as with the terminal 1 of the second embodiment. The warning unit 17 is instructed to give a second warning to the restriction target 3. However, when the current position of the terminal 10 is outside the second movable range 6 but inside the first movable range 5, the warning command unit 224 notifies the warning unit 17 of the second warning. Do not perform the command.

  In addition, the second movable range generating unit 321 stores information about the current position of the terminal 10 and map information storage when the determining unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 10 is outside the first movable range 5. Based on the map information stored in the means 211 and the information on the first movable range 5 stored in the movable range storage means 212, the second movable range 6 is generated and set. Information regarding the set second movable range 6 is stored in the movable range storage unit 212. Accordingly, the second movable range 6 can be automatically set without setting the second movable range 6 in the terminal 10 in advance.

  The second movable range 6 is a range that includes the current position of the terminal 10 and is adjacent to the first movable range 5, and is an additional for holding the restriction target 3 that deviates from the first movable range 5. It is a range. The second movable range 6 of the present embodiment is generated so as to surround the first movable range 5, but is adjacent to at least a part of the first movable range 5 as in the case of the second embodiment. May be generated as follows. Furthermore, the second movable range 6 is preferably generated without overlapping the first movable range 5. Furthermore, when the restriction target 3 enters and exits the first movable range 5 a plurality of times, the second movable range 6 may be newly generated and set every time the first movable range 5 departs. . In this case, the generated second movable ranges 6 may be adjacent to each other or may be separated from each other. However, each second movable range 6 to be generated needs to be adjacent to at least the first movable range 5 and include the current position of the terminal 10. Further, the width of the generated second movable range 6 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, the same range as the first movable range 5 or a range wider than the first movable range 5. Further, the shape of the generated region of the second movable range 6 is not particularly limited.

[Movement range restriction method]
Next, the movement range restriction method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 10 by taking as an example processing using the movement range restriction system of the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the movement range regulation system in the fourth embodiment.

  The movement range regulating method of the present embodiment includes a first movable range setting step, a second movable range setting step, a first current position calculation step (current position calculation step) S401, and a first determination step S402. First warning step S403, second current position calculation step S404, redetermination step S405, second movable range setting confirmation step S406, second movable range generation step S407, and second determination step S408 And a second warning step S409.

  First, the movable range setting unit 222 sets the first movable range 5 based on the map information stored in the map information storage unit 211 (first movable range setting step). Information regarding the set first movable range 5 is stored in the movable range storage unit 212. At this time, the movable range setting means 222 is based on the map information stored in the map information storage unit 211 and the information on the first movable range 5 stored in the movable range storage unit 212. May be set (second movable range setting step). Information regarding the set second movable range 6 is also stored in the movable range storage unit 212. The execution of the second movable range setting step is arbitrary, and the step may not be performed. Further, the setting of the first movable range 5 and the second movable range 6 can be performed by wireless communication, wired communication, direct input, or the like, as in the second and third embodiments.

  Next, as in the case of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a first current position calculating step S401 in which the current position calculating means 221 calculates the current position of the terminal 100 based on GPS radio waves, and a first current First determination step in which the determination unit 223 determines whether the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the first movable range 5 based on the information regarding the current position of the terminal 100 obtained in the position calculation step S401. S402 is sequentially performed.

  In the first determination step S402, when the determining unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 100 is not outside the first movable range 5, the restriction target 3 to which the terminal 100 is attached is the first movable range. 5, the processing of the movement range regulation system of the fourth embodiment is finished.

  On the other hand, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the first movable range 5 in the first determination step S402, the warning unit 17 sets the 1 warning is performed (first warning step S403).

  After an elapse of an arbitrary time after the first warning step S403, the current position calculation means 221 receives the GPS radio wave again, and calculates the current position of the terminal 100 using the GPS radio wave (second current position calculation). Step S404). Note that, as in the case of the third embodiment, the arbitrary time is provided in consideration of the time required for the regulated object 3 that has received the first warning to return to the inside of the first movable range 5. The length of the arbitrary time is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set according to the use situation.

  Subsequently, based on the information on the current position of the terminal 100 obtained in the second current position calculation step S304, the determination unit 223 determines again whether or not the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the first movable range 5. (Re-determination step S405). Here, when the second movable range 6 is set in advance, the determination unit 223 determines the current state of the terminal 100 based on the information about the second movable range 6 stored in the movable range storage unit 212. It is also determined whether or not the position is outside the second movable range 6.

  In the re-determination step S405, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 100 is not outside the first movable range 5, the restriction target 3 is notified by the first warning in the first movable range 5 , And the processing of the movement range regulation system of the present embodiment is terminated. Alternatively, when the second movable range 6 is set in advance and the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 100 is not outside the second movable range 6, the process ends. To do.

  On the other hand, in the re-determination step S405, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the first movable range 5 (or when the second movable range 6 is set in advance). If the current position of the terminal 100 is determined to be outside the second movable range 6), the second movable range information confirmation unit 421 determines whether or not the second movable range 6 is set. Is confirmed (second movable range setting confirmation step S406). In the second movable range setting confirmation step S406, whether or not the second movable range 6 is set in advance at the current position of the terminal 100 is determined even when the second movable range 6 is set in advance. Confirmation is performed based on information related to the second movable range 6 stored in the possible range storage unit 212. In the second movable range setting confirmation step S406, if the second movable range information confirmation unit 421 confirms that the second movable range 5 is not set at least at the current position of the terminal 100, The two movable range generation means 321 generates the second movable range 6 (second movable range generation step S407). Information about the generated second movable range 6 is stored in the movable range storage unit 212.

  On the other hand, in the second movable range setting confirmation step S 406, the second movable range information confirmation unit 421 uses the information about the second movable range 6 stored in the movable range storage unit 212 based on the information on the terminal 100. When it is confirmed that the second movable range 6 is set at the current position, the second movable range generation step S407 is not performed.

  Subsequently, based on the information regarding the current position of the terminal 100 obtained in the second current position calculation step S404, the determination unit 223 determines whether or not the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the second movable range 6. (Second determination step S408). In the second determination step S408, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 100 is not outside the second movable range 6, the restriction target 3 to which the terminal 100 is attached is in the second movable range. 6, and the processing of the movement range regulation system of the present embodiment is terminated.

  Even if it is determined in the second determination step S408 that the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the second movable range 6, the current position of the terminal 100 is inside the first movable range 5. This means that the restriction object 3 to which the terminal 100 is attached has returned to the inside of the first movable range 5, and the process of the movement range restriction system of the present embodiment is finished.

  On the other hand, in the second determination step S408, when the determination unit 223 determines that the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the first movable range 5 and the second movable range 6, the warning unit 17 A second warning is given to the restriction target 3 (second warning step S409). By the second warning, the restriction target 3 is notified that the current position of the terminal 100 is outside the first movable range 5 and the second movable range 6. Returning to the inside of the first movable range 5 or the second movable range 6 can be promoted. After the second warning step S409, the process of the movement range regulation system of the present embodiment is terminated.

  Further, as in the case of the first to third embodiments, after the process of the movement range restriction system of the present embodiment is completed, the process of the movement range restriction system can be repeatedly performed. As a result, the movable range of the restriction object 3 can be continuously restricted.

  Further, in the process of the movable range restriction system of the present embodiment, the second movable range setting confirmation step S406 is included, so that the restriction target 3 is within the second movable range 6 from the first movable range. In the case of deviating, it is possible to prevent a new second movable range 6 from being generated, and thus it is possible to reduce the capacity of the storage 11 necessary for realizing the movable range storage unit 212.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the second movable range 6 is not set in advance or when the second movable range 6 is set, the restriction target 3 is the first movable range 5. When the vehicle deviates from the second movable range 6 to the second movable range 6, the second movable range 6 can be automatically generated. And when the control object 3 deviates from the automatically generated second movable range 6, it is possible to suppress a significant deviation from the first movable range 5 by performing a further warning. Can do.
