Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-044930 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-208546 Japanese Patent No. 3870967 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-174092 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-11540

One of the pleasures of gardening is to imagine what kind of trees and flowers can be planted in the garden, and what kind of image it will look like if it is planted. Can't enjoy how to choose trees etc. according to the layout of their home.

In addition, with the conventional prior art, it is not possible to easily know the estimated cost of planting the trees and flowers selected by oneself.

Also, for users who have little knowledge of trees and flowers, what kind of trees and flowers can be planted, and general users search for and grow plants other than trees and flowers that they know. I have no chance.

Patent Document 2 differs from Patent Documents 1 and 2 in that it provides information about a specific plant planted by an individual user and provides general knowledge about the plant. However, the timing of providing information is determined by the administrator, and the user cannot obtain the desired information when he / she wants a specific target.

Further, although it is possible to remotely control home appliances and the like as in Patent Documents 4 and 5, it is not possible to collectively manage information on individual items constituting a house. For example, you have to look for documents such as where to ask for replacement when the water packing becomes loose and water leakage starts, and where to ask when the car in the garage is flat. It is extremely troublesome.

In order to solve the above problems, the gardening system according to the present invention is composed of a user's information terminal capable of two-way communication via a network and a computer managed by the gardening company, and is a computer managed by the gardening company. The user's home map partitioned by a grid frame is stored in the memory, and this home map is displayed on the user's information terminal, and the user can use one frame partitioned by the grid as a unit in the frame, such as plants and stones. , The image of the object to be placed in the garden such as a fence can be selected or exchanged, the user's information terminal can send the selected content or exchange content to the computer managed by the gardening company, and the computer managed by the gardening company receives it. The configuration is such that the information necessary for the contents selected or exchanged based on the created map information is transmitted to the user's information terminal.

The necessary information includes information on houses and garages on the land of the house, in addition to the estimated amount of money for replacement and repair of things to be placed in the garden such as garden trees, stones and hedges.

For example, if you discover that the car in the garage is flat, clicking on the garage displayed on the user's information terminal will bring up multiple selection windows, and clicking on the car repair shop will repair it. The factory address and phone number are displayed. This information can be input to the user's information terminal in advance, but if it is not input, the management company (gardening company) searches for it in advance and informs the user.

The grid-like frame that divides the map is displayed on the map as a layer separate from the layer that displays the map, and the grid-like frame is given an address for each frame, such as trees to be arranged for each frame. Images can be selected or exchanged.

The grid-like frame displayed as the separate layer can be integrated with the adjacent frame. By integrating, the degree of freedom in selecting trees and flowers will be increased, and it will be easier to use as a system.

According to the present invention, since the land displayed on the screen of the information terminal is partitioned in a grid pattern, trees and flowers can be arranged in a well-balanced manner.

In addition, trees, flowers, green bags, water taps, etc. to be placed in the garden are indicated by simple icons (images), which are shared by the computer managed by the gardening company, and managed by the user's information terminal and the gardening company. It becomes a relationship of digital twin in the computer, and it is possible to send appropriate advice such as pruning time considering the growth of individual trees.

Users can not only imagine various combinations of trees and flowers according to their own tastes, but also visually examine them, and can get an estimate of the cost for each combination. ..

In addition, you can manage not only the garden but also the houses and garages on your own land, as well as the lighting fixtures, toilets, baths, etc. in the house. Therefore, not only security but also small details such as contact information when requesting delivery of groceries can be collectively managed, and the user does not need to write down and store it.

Furthermore, if you do not know the contact information, the management company will provide the contact information that seems to be the most suitable, so it is convenient and safe.

The gardening system according to the present invention is composed of a user's information terminal 1 and a system platform 2 constructed on a cloud computer or the like managed by a gardening company, and the information terminal 1 and the system platform 2 can be bidirectionally communicated via the Internet 3. It has become.

In the memory (database) of the system platform 2, a map of the user's land is stored in addition to the user's name, address, contact information, and the like. When the user registers, the floor plan of the land is taken into the memory based on the information from Google Earth, the viewable land ledger, the cadastral survey, etc., and the grid-like layer is superimposed on this floor plan in the processing unit of the system platform 2. .. The grid spacing is 20 to 50 cm.

The map of your home may be created by the user, or you may prepare multiple patterns in advance and select the one closest to your land shape from these multiple patterns. good.

In the embodiment, the frames separated by the grid are given addresses such as (a-1), (b-2), and so on. By assigning an address in this way, processing is performed for each frame like a pixel. For example, when the user wants to plant a garden tree at the position of the frame (d-4), the system platform 2 requests the data of the garden tree that can be selected.

Here, since the shape of the land is various and the shape of the house on the land is also various, only a part of the grid overlaps the land at the boundary of the land. In System Platform 2, the area and shape of an incomplete frame that is partially missing can be determined from the overlap between the boundary line of the land and the frame, and trees and flowers that can be planted in the incompletely shaped frame are given to the user. List up.

FIG. 3 shows an example of selectable garden tree data transmitted from the system platform 2 to the user's information terminal 1. For example, when the user selects “Sakura” as the garden tree, “Sakura” is shown in FIG. Features about is displayed.

When the user decides that "Sakura" does not suit his taste after reading the characteristics, and then selects "Kobusi", the characteristics of "Kobusi" are also shown. The user wants to plant a "magnolia kobus" at the position of the frame (d-4), and selects what kind of "tailoring" it should be. In FIG. 3, "three-pronged structure" is selected. Then, the "three-pronged magnolia kobus" is displayed in the image display portion. This image is displayed at the position of the frame (d-4).

If you want to plant a large tree that does not fit in one frame, or if you want to plant a lawn in a wide area, you can integrate multiple frames. In the case of integration, one tree or flower will be selected within the frame after integration. It is also possible to integrate the frames so that they have an L-shape or a U-shape.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to prepare a typical garden shape by dividing it into several patterns. In the example shown in FIG. 5, it is divided into four patterns. From this pattern, select the one that is closest to your home terrain, and select the tree you want to plant with each frame as one unit.

After performing the above operations and completing the gardening that matches the image displayed by the information terminal 1, the system platform 2 can be requested to make an estimate. When the system platform 2 receives the quotation request, the processing unit (calculation unit) calculates the estimated amount and sends it to the user's information terminal 1.

If the user is satisfied with the estimated amount, the user places an order with the system platform 2. Settlement is made by a predetermined method.

This gardening system also manages after gardening. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the origin of the trees planted in the garden, the maintenance history, etc. are also recorded, and based on this record, the pruning calendar shown in FIG. 7 is created and created by the processing unit of the system platform 2. The pruning calendar is transmitted to the user's information terminal 1.

Post-gardening management includes seasonal flower replanting. Trees are not replaced every year, but the appropriate flowers change depending on the season and environment. In this case, the image showing the tree is left as it is, and the image of the flower is replaced.

What is placed in the frame is not limited to trees and flowers. For example, a garage, a kennel, a water tap, a pouch, a hedge, an outdoor light, a mailbox, or a box for storing branches and leaves generated after pruning may be arranged.

The box that stores the branches and leaves generated after pruning stores and ferments the pruned waste material to make foliage soil. Inside, a sensor that detects the fermentation condition of the pruned waste material is provided, and the detection value is detected from this sensor to the system platform 2. Is transmitted, and the system platform 2 receives a signal to diagnose the fermentation condition of the pruned waste material and transmits this diagnosis result to the user's information terminal via the Internet.

Further, it is possible to transmit and display the contents recorded on the system platform 2 of the management company as an arrangement on the land of the home including the house by transmitting to the user's information terminal 1 in response to the user's request.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, clicking on the kennel will display the phone numbers of your favorite veterinary clinic or beauty salon. These are registered in advance by the user in the system platform 2 of the management company.

Similarly, clicking on the garage will display the dealer name, insurance company and repair shop along with the phone number as a selection window. If there is no registered company name, including the case of the above-mentioned kennel, the management company can find and display what is considered appropriate via AI, etc., saving the user the trouble of searching.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a selection window when the house is clicked. In this example, when you click on a house to select it, "Living Room 1", "Living Room 2", "Kitchen", "Bathroom", and "Entrance" are displayed. Then, when "living room 1" is clicked, "state in the room" and "temperature / humidity" are further displayed as selection windows. When "the state in the room" is selected, the image taken by the built-in camera is displayed on the user's information terminal 1. The above function is not necessary when the user is in the house, but it can also be used as a watching system when the user is far from the house and an elderly parent lives in the house.

If you click "Kitchen", the selection windows for "Gas range" and "Refrigerator" will be displayed. If you are worried about the source of the fire when you go out for a while, you can check the status by clicking "Gas Range".
Also, if you click "Refrigerator", you can check the inside of the refrigerator without opening the door with the built-in camera. This allows you to see the contents of the refrigerator from wherever you go, so you can easily decide what to buy and return.

Furthermore, the URL and telephone number of a hospital or convenience store can be displayed on the user's information terminal 1, and the user who holds the information terminal incorporating this system can not only prun and maintain the garden trees of his own house, but also. Get a complete picture of the management of things on your land, including your home, wherever you are.
