Description

Irrigation control interface device {INTERFACE APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING IRRIGATION}

The present invention relates to an irrigation control interface device capable of monitoring flow information of fluid or air passing through an inside of a pipe supply line of an irrigation device.

Moisture is the factor that has the greatest influence on crop growth. In consideration of this, farmhouses that grow crops prioritize irrigation facilities prior to supplying fertilizers or nutrients to prevent critical problems in crop cultivation.

In particular, the irrigation device used in farmhouses is configured to supply a certain amount of water by being connected to a spray nozzle provided in a vinyl house or other various devices. It has a feature of operating in a manner in which water is supplied to the spray nozzle through the supply pipe and sprayed at high pressure.

Conventionally, only a method in which an operator manually operates and controls valves was possible during irrigation work, but recently, with the development of smart farm technology, a method of remotely operating and controlling irrigation facilities is also becoming increasingly popular.

However, in most cases, the information that a remote user can check during remote control through a terminal is only the sensing value or status value measured in the facility as it is, making it difficult to monitor accurately by location. Until now, it is difficult to perform driving control or delicate manipulation of a specific device at an appropriate timing through a remote control method.

Next, the interface module 200 serves to implement a virtual icon-based interface corresponding to the internal flow path of the pipe of the automatic watering device 10 by using the area layer and object set by the setting module 100 .

In this regard, the interface module 200 includes an icon generator 220, an interface generator 240, and a user interface 260 as shown in FIG.

The icon creation unit 220 classifies and creates a plurality of icons corresponding to each of the plurality of objects set by the object setting unit 180 by object type.

Here, the icon generation unit 220 uses different previously stored object images (various figures, clip art, pictures, etc.) for each object type, but the icon corresponding to the input/output object (IU) is for the input/output object (IU). It is created using an input/output object image having a shape pointing in a specific direction so as to remind the first direction attribute Ad1, and the icon corresponding to the connection object IL is the second direction attribute Ad2 for the connection object IL. It is created using a connection object image that points in a specific direction but has a shape different from that of the input/output object, and the icon corresponding to the control object IC is an operation performed by the control object IC (blocking, conducting, separating) , mixture, change, etc.) can be intuitively associated with, but can be created using control object images having different shapes so that each operation can be distinguished.

The interface generator 240 displays one region layer selected by the user among a plurality of region layers created by the region layer generator 140 on the first region 41 on the screen, and the icon generator 220 An interface for displaying a plurality of icons generated by ) in the second area 42 different from the first area 41 is generated.

In this case, whether to connect to the input/output object (I _U ) or control object (I _C ) disposed before and after the _connection object (IL ) is selected according to the user's input, and the connection result according to the selection is reflected and the matching is performed. It may be to decide whether it is possible or not.

In addition, the matching control unit 240, based on the connection state between the objects corresponding to the plurality of icons arranged according to the user's arrangement command input by the user interface unit 260, the input-output object (I _U ) and the connection object When ( _IL ) is interconnected and arranged, if the preset direction properties corresponding to each of the input/output object (I _U ) and the connection object ( _IL ) do not match, determining that matching corresponding to the interconnected arrangement state is impossible it could be

The line matching unit 360 is for matching objects corresponding to a flow section of a specific object to the same line among a plurality of inlets and outlets provided in the pipe internal passage of the supply unit 13 .

Here, as a result of the arrangement of the plurality of icons according to the completion of the matching by the matching unit 320, the line matching unit 360, a pair of input/output objects (I _U ) are disposed at the beginning and end of the arrangement sequence, respectively. When a connection object (I _L ) or a control object (I _C ) is placed in the middle of the arrangement sequence, but objects are connected to each other and connected as one, all placed objects are grouped in the same line in response to the case, and then grouped by group can be matched.

Finally, the display unit 400 serves to provide the user with object icon-based pipeline data corresponding to the final matched result when the control judgment by the control module 300 is completed.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 5A , the display unit 400 arranges at least one object icon (I ₁ , I ₂ , I ₃ ) determined to be matchable by the matching control unit 340 on the region layer for each of them. A screen may be provided to the user terminal 30 to display preset attribute information 51 , 52 , and 53 corresponding to each of the displayed icons around the corresponding icon position while displaying the screen at the location.
