Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an owner-based agricultural product cultivation system for a consumer to participate in the cultivation of agricultural products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the cultivation of agricultural products is entirely left to the hands of farmers, and consumers simply obtain and consume agricultural products as commodities through markets. Did not.

[0003] On the other hand, in the recent industrial structure, it is becoming difficult for farmers to secure successors and labor, and in order to prevent the decline of agriculture, farmers have some way to engage with consumers. It is necessary to add value to agricultural products by appealing the uniqueness and safety of agricultural products that they have grown.

[0004]

As a result, agricultural products such as pesticide-free products appear on the market, but a part of agricultural products referred to as pesticide-free agricultural products grown using pesticides. It is a fake with the label of "pesticide-free" that can be obtained anywhere in the product, and it is a fact that consumers can directly know what process the agricultural product is actually grown in Was impossible.

[0005] While healthy and constructive farmers have made various efforts to develop agricultural products that are acceptable to consumers, agricultural products are consequently a kind of mass product. Therefore, it is necessary to be accepted by the greatest common denominator of general consumers, and ultimately, it becomes an individualized person without uniqueness.

[0006] As a result, there arises a problem that some consumers having a high degree of preference have difficulty in obtaining agricultural products that meet their preferences.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, and to enable a consumer to actively participate in the cultivation of an agricultural product and to obtain an agricultural product that meets the personal preferences of the consumer. In addition, a farmer-owned agricultural product development system that allows farmers to emphasize the uniqueness and safety of agricultural products and add value to agricultural products. is there.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The owner-based agricultural product cultivation system of the present invention comprises a farmer who grows agricultural products and an owner who gives instructions to the farmers for growing agricultural products. An agricultural product cultivation environment is formed by the agricultural land for cultivating the agricultural product, and a network is connected to the information terminal for the agricultural worker used by the agricultural worker and the information terminal for the owner used by the owner. Via the information terminal for the owner and the network and the information terminal for the farmer through the owner to the work instruction from the owner to the farmer and from the farmer to the owner A surveillance camera for photographing the farmland and an image photographed by the surveillance camera are transmitted through the network while performing the work progress report. And an information processing terminal for delivery to the owner information terminal Te is provided, having a configuration in which the owner was characterized by monitoring the farmland through the owner information terminal. According to such a configuration, the owner, who is a consumer, can freely give an instruction to the agricultural worker through the information terminal for the owner and the network and the information terminal for the agricultural worker to grow the agricultural product. In addition, even urban consumers who do not have farmland can easily obtain agricultural products that meet their tastes.
In addition, the owner can monitor the state of the agricultural land where the agricultural products are grown, while monitoring the information with the surveillance camera, the information processing terminal, and the information terminal for the owner, while also receiving information from the farmer. Work progress reports can be checked on the information terminal for the farmer and the information terminal for the owner via the network, so it is easy to check whether the farmer is performing the work according to his instructions As a result, the problem that pesticides are sprayed at the discretion of the farmer is eliminated. As a result, farmers can effectively use agricultural land to produce safe, unique and high-value-added agricultural products, and the agriculture itself will be activated to acquire successors and labor. Becomes easier.

Here, the information processing terminal can be configured to deliver an image taken by the surveillance camera to the owner information terminal in real time. When such a configuration is applied, the owner can observe the state of the farmland in real time without delay, and complete monitoring work is possible.

[0010] Further, the surveillance camera is operated at a timing set by the owner to the information processing terminal via the owner information terminal and the network, and images taken while the surveillance camera is operating are stored in the information processing terminal in chronological order. Along with
It is also possible to configure the information processing terminal so that the stored image is delivered to the owner information terminal when an image transfer request is received from the owner information terminal. According to such a configuration, the surveillance camera operates at the timing set by the owner, and the images are stored in chronological order in the information processing terminal. You can check the condition of the farmland at a convenient time. This allows
For example, even urban people who have daily work can be involved in growing agricultural products during the night or on holidays.

Further, the information processing terminal is provided with a function of detecting a time-series change of an image taken by the surveillance camera, and an image taken by the surveillance camera while the time-series image change is detected. It is also possible to configure the information processing terminal such that only the information processing terminal stores the information and distributes it to the owner information terminal in response to the image transfer request from the owner information terminal. According to such a configuration, the surveillance camera operates only when some movement occurs in the farmland, and the image can be confirmed later, so that the owner does not need to constantly watch the owner information terminal. The presence or absence of abnormalities in the farmland can be easily confirmed.

The information processing terminal may be provided with a function of adjusting the direction of the optical axis and the angle of view of the surveillance camera in response to a request from the owner input via the owner information terminal and the network. . Thus, the owner can observe the farmland from any desired angle at any angle of view.

[0013] A sensor for detecting weather conditions may be provided in the surveillance camera, and information detected by the sensor may be embedded in an image taken by the surveillance camera and stored. As sensors for detecting weather conditions, rain gauges, wind gauges, wind vanes, thermometers, hygrometers, and the like can be used. Weather information detected by these sensors is captured by a monitoring camera. As a result of being embedded and saved in the image, the owner can accurately grasp the weather conditions at the time when the image was taken when checking the state of the farmland with the image.

Further, an information distribution terminal for supplying knowledge for cultivating agricultural products to the owner is connected to a network, and the owner transmits information from the information distribution terminal via the information distribution terminal to the owner. It is also possible to configure to acquire the knowledge of. By applying such a configuration, even an owner with little knowledge of agriculture can be involved in growing agricultural products without fail.

This information distribution terminal can be constituted by a web server connected to a network in which general knowledge required for growing agricultural products is stored in a readable manner. In this case, the owner accesses the information distribution terminal via the owner information terminal and the network, and obtains knowledge for cultivating agricultural products.

The information distribution terminal is a personal computer which is used by an agricultural expert who supplies knowledge for cultivating agricultural products to the owner and which is connected to the owner information terminal via the network so as to be capable of two-way communication. May be configured. When such a configuration is applied, information is directly communicated between the owner and the agricultural expert through the personal computer of the agricultural expert and the network and the information terminal for the owner, and general knowledge is stored. It becomes possible to acquire advanced agricultural product cultivation knowledge as compared with the case where a web server is used.

In the case where information communication is directly performed between the owner and the agricultural expert in this manner, an image file means for each owner for storing images taken by the surveillance camera in time series is further provided. The information processing terminal is provided in the information processing terminal, and the information for specifying the image file means and the information for specifying the image reproduction period are transmitted from the personal computer of the agricultural expert to the information processing terminal via the network. Is desirably configured to automatically transfer the image of the designated image file means to the personal computer for the designated image reproduction period. According to such a configuration, it becomes possible for an agricultural expert to directly confirm the state of farmland and the state of growing agricultural products, and to give more appropriate advice to questions and the like received from the owner. Become like

Further, the information for designating the image file means and the information for designating the image reproduction period are attached to an electronic mail transmitted from the owner information terminal to the personal computer of the agricultural expert, The personal computer of the agricultural expert detects the mouse click operation on the information of the image reproduction period displayed on the e-mail expanded on the monitor and specifies the image file means attached to the e-mail. And a function of transmitting the information for specifying the image reproduction period to the information processing terminal. In this case, the information for designating the image file means and the information for designating the image playback period can be attached to the e-mail when the owner submits a question to the agricultural expert. Is a simple operation that simply clicks the mouse on the image playback period information displayed on the e-mail while reading the e-mail from the owner displayed on the monitor. Can be easily referred to. As a result, there is no need for the owner to download a large amount of images from the information processing terminal or to attach this image directly to an e-mail and send it to the agricultural expert, thereby reducing the cost required for communication. And traffic congestion on the network is also prevented.

Further, it is also possible to generate a processed product from the grown agricultural product, attach a label designated by the owner to a container for storing the processed product, and distribute the label to the owner. Agricultural products that can produce processed products are, for example, grapes (wine), rice (sake), various fruits (juice), and the like. By sticking and distributing the label specified by the owner to the container containing these processed products, even more uniqueness can be exhibited.

Further, information exchanged between the information terminal for the agricultural worker and the information terminal for the owner and at least a part of the image taken by the surveillance camera are stored in a time-series on a portable storage medium. It is also possible to distribute the portable storage medium to the owner with the grown agricultural product or its processed product. Instructions used in the cultivation of agricultural products and production of processed products, work result reports, images, etc. are stored in portable storage media and attached to agricultural products and processed products. History is clear and at the same time,
It also helps to demonstrate the uniqueness of the product and differentiate it.

Further, at least a part of the instructions used for cultivating and manufacturing the agricultural products and the processed products, the work result reports and the images, etc. are made public on the network, and the grown agricultural products or the processed products are released. You may make it auction on a network. Instructions used in the cultivation and production of agricultural products and processed products, reports of their work results, images, etc. are published on the network, so that the history of the agricultural products and processed products is clear, and consumers Products and processed goods can be purchased with confidence.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Some embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an embodiment in which the owner-based agricultural product cultivation system of the present invention is applied to the cultivation of grapes, which are agricultural products, and the production of wine, which is a processed product thereof.

As shown in FIG. 1, the agricultural product growing environment for growing grapes is a contract farmhouse 1 which is a farmer who grows grapes as an agricultural product.
And an owner 2 who gives instructions to the contracted farmer 1 for grape cultivation, and an agricultural expert 4 (a wine maker, etc.) which supplies the owner 2 with expertise for grape cultivation, and Farmland 3 for growing grapes
Formed by

The contract farmer 1 is provided with an information terminal 5 for a farmer, which is composed of a personal computer or the like. An information terminal 6 is provided. Also, under the agricultural expert 4,
A personal computer 8 used by the agricultural expert 4 as an information distribution terminal is provided, and each of the information terminal 5 for farmers, the information terminal 6 for owners, and the personal computer 8 is connected via the Internet 7 constituting a network. Connected to enable two-way communication.

FIG. 1 shows a contract farmhouse 1 for simplicity of explanation.
And the owner 2 are singly described, but there are actually a plurality of contract farmers 1 and the owners 2, each of which is connected to the information terminal 5 for the agricultural worker and the owner They are participating simultaneously using the information terminal 6. The functions required of the agricultural expert 4 are divided into a plurality of functions such as a soil expert, a plant (grape) expert, a pesticide expert, and a wine expert, and each agricultural expert participates in the network at the same time. No problem.

The farmland 3 is divided into sections according to the area of the farmland used by the owner 2 per person, and a unique monitoring camera 9 is installed for each section. The monitoring camera 9 is connected to an information processing terminal 11 composed of a personal computer or the like installed by an organizer 10 that manages the farmland 3, and images taken by each monitoring camera 9 are processed by the information processing terminal 1.
1, the Internet 7, and the owner's information terminal 6 monitor each owner 2.
Here, the sponsor 10 may own the land as a contract farmhouse 1 and may also serve as the entrepreneur.
Rents only the land or its right to use from the landowner,
Contract farmers 1 may be recruited in the form of full-time, part-time, part-time, or the like.

Each surveillance camera 9 has a servo mechanism for turning the optical axis of the lens of each camera 9 around a vertical axis, and a depression angle adjustment for adjusting the depression angle of the optical axis of the lens up and down. A servo mechanism and a zoom mechanism for adjusting the angle of view of the lens, that is, the focal length, are provided. These mechanisms are used by the owner information terminal 6 and the owner 2 input to the information processing terminal 11 via the Internet 7.
Is driven and controlled by the information processing terminal 11 in response to a command from.

Further, a weather sensor unit 13 provided with a sensor group for detecting weather conditions such as rainfall, wind power, wind direction, temperature, and humidity is provided near each monitoring camera 9. The weather information detected by 13 is input to the information processing terminal 11. The weather information thus obtained is transmitted to the information processing terminal 1
1 in a time series. In the case where the scale of the farmland area used by one person is small, it is not always necessary to provide the weather sensor unit 13 for each monitoring camera 9, and one weather sensor unit 13 is used in common for several sections. May be used.

In the above configuration, the work instruction from the owner 2 to the contract farmer 1 and the work progress report from the contract farmer 1 to the owner 2 are transmitted via the owner information terminal 6, the Internet 7 and the farm worker information terminal 5. It is carried out by e-mail including various attached documents.

When the owner 2 needs knowledge for cultivating agricultural products, the owner 2 and the owner 2 are connected via the information terminal 6 for the owner, the Internet 7 and the personal computer 8 as an information distribution terminal. House 4
Exchange of electronic mails and the like including various attached documents and the like is performed. However, the supply of technical knowledge from the agricultural expert 4 to the owner 2 is based on the request of the owner 2 to the extent of being tired, and it is completely impossible for the owner 2 to actually adopt the opinion of the agricultural expert 4. The contract farmer 1 basically works only in accordance with the instructions from the owner 2.

The exchange of information between the owner 2 and the contract farmer 1 and between the owner 2 and the agricultural expert 4 is not limited to e-mail or the like. For example, let the information processing terminal 11 also function as a web server,
A web page unique to each owner 2 is installed on this web server, and permissions for allowing the owner 2 and each of the contract farmer 1 and the agricultural expert 4 to write and read information on this web page are set, It is also possible for each of the owner 2, the contract farmer 1 and the agricultural expert 4 to operate a file on a web page to transmit various information.

In this case, the information processing terminal 11 on which the web page is installed is interposed in the middle,
The information terminal 6 for the owner and the Internet 7 and the personal computer 8 are used for exchanging information between the owner 2 and the agricultural expert 4, and the information terminal 6 for the owner and the Internet for exchanging information between the owner 2 and the contract farmer 1. 7 and the information terminal 5 for agricultural workers are used as described above.

Further, the image taken by the surveillance camera 9 described above is placed on this web page and the corresponding owner 2
May be referred to.

When exchanging information with reference to a web page, the information required by the contract farmer 1, the agricultural expert 4, and the owner 2 are different from each other. It is desirable to set permissions that allow file operations.

For example, in the case of the contract farmhouse 1, the owner 2
, And only report the progress of the work to the owner 2, and the state of the farmland 3 can be directly confirmed with his / her own eyes. Accordingly, the permission for the contract farmer 1 to be able to read the file to which the instruction from the owner 2 to the contract farmer 1 is uploaded, and the permission to write the file to upload the progress report to the owner 2 is granted. It is enough if it is set.

In the case of the agricultural expert 4, the owner 2
It is in a position to supply specialized knowledge in response to a request from, and in some cases, it is necessary to supply knowledge for grape cultivation depending on the condition of the farmland 3. Therefore, for the agricultural expert 4, the questionnaire from the owner 2 to the agricultural expert 4 can be read in the file to be uploaded, and the expertise to be supplied to the owner 2 can be written in the file to be uploaded. Yes, and further, it is necessary to set read permission for a file to which an image captured by the monitoring camera 9 is uploaded.

On the other hand, in the case of owner 2, contract farmer 1
It is also necessary to perform two-way information communication with each of the agricultural experts 4 and to confirm the image of the surveillance camera 9. Writable to the file to upload the questionnaire, and contract farmer 1 to owner 2
The file to which the progress report is uploaded and the expertise supplied from the agricultural expert 4 can be read in the file to be uploaded, and the image taken by the surveillance camera 9 can be read in the file to be uploaded. And write permission must be set.

The organizer 10 who manages the information processing terminal 11 also serving as a web server is provided with the information processing terminal 1.
(1) Permission to execute all functions is provided.

The information processing terminal 11 serving as a web server stores information exchanged between the owner 2 and the contracted farmer 1 and between the owner 2 and the agricultural expert 4 and images captured by the surveillance camera 9. For each owner 2 in a time-series manner.

This function is used when the various information is exchanged by e-mail.
When the destination address of the contract farmer 1, the agricultural expert 4, and the owner 2 is designated for the mailer used by each of the agricultural experts 4, the mail is automatically directed to the unique disk of the owner 2 in the information processing terminal 11. This can be easily realized by adding a function of transmitting a carbon copy mail.

Further, when information is exchanged using a web page in the information processing terminal 11, various types of information are stored in the information processing terminal 11 as they are, so that a special additional function is provided. unnecessary.

Next, a process for adjusting the direction of the optical axis and the angle of view of the monitoring camera 9 and a process for taking an image at each set timing will be described. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are simplified flowcharts showing only portions directly related to the control of the surveillance camera 9 out of the internal processing of the information processing terminal 11 also serving as control means of the surveillance camera 9.

This information processing terminal 11 is connected to each monitoring camera 9
The camera control process of FIGS. 4 and 5 is repeatedly executed at predetermined intervals as one of the task processes individually executed in response to.

Information processing terminal 1 that has started camera control processing
First, it is determined whether a setting request from the owner 2 corresponding to the surveillance camera 9 is input via the owner information terminal 6 and the Internet 7 (step a1), and the setting request is not detected. Then, it is further determined whether or not an image transfer request from the owner 2 has been input (step a11).

If no image transfer request is detected, the information processing terminal 11 determines whether or not a value other than 0 is set in the shooting execution flag F corresponding to the monitoring camera 9. (Step a12) If the value of the shooting execution flag F is 0, it means that the initial setting action for the monitoring camera 9 has not been executed yet at this stage, and the shooting timing of the monitoring camera 9 has not been determined. Therefore, the information processing terminal 11 ends the task processing of the cycle without performing any substantial processing.

Therefore, the owner 2 must first operate the owner's information terminal 6 to adjust the direction and angle of view of the optical axis of the monitoring camera 9 and set the shooting timing.

When the owner 2 inputs a setting request relating to adjustment of the monitoring camera 9 and setting of the photographing timing via the owner information terminal 6, this request is made at step a1, step a11 and step a12 at predetermined intervals. Is detected by the information processing terminal 11 that is repeatedly executing the determination process in step a1. The information processing terminal 11 that has detected the setting request determines whether the setting request is related to the setting of the shooting timing interval (step a2) or the setting of the shooting timing (step a6). It is determined whether or not it relates to the adjustment of the direction of the optical axis and the angle of view (step a9).

Here, if the result of the determination in step a2 is true, that is, if the setting request is for the setting of the interval of the photographing timing, the information processing terminal 11 determines that the owner 2 is the information terminal for the owner. 6 and the setting value input via the Internet 7 are stored as an interval t (step a3), a value 1 indicating execution of the interval shooting is set in a shooting execution flag F (step a4), and the elapsed time is measured. The timer Tr is reset and restarted (step a5).

If the result of the determination in step a6 is true, that is, if the setting request is for the time setting of the photographing timing, the information processing terminal 11
The value of the set value input by the owner 2 via the owner information terminal 6 and the Internet 7 is stored as the shooting execution time T (step a7), and the value 2 indicating the execution of the set time shooting is set in the shooting execution flag F. (Step a
8).

When the result of the determination in step a9 is true, that is, when the setting request is for adjustment of the direction of the optical axis and the angle of view of the monitoring camera 9, the information processing terminal 11 The owner 2 drives and controls the turning servo mechanism, the depression angle adjusting servo mechanism, and the zoom mechanism of the surveillance camera 9 based on the set values input via the owner information terminal 6 and the Internet 7, and controls the optical axis of the surveillance camera 9. The direction and the angle of view are adjusted according to the request of the owner 2 (step a10).

When the initial setting operation is completed in this way, the photographing execution flag F is always set to a value of 1 or 2.

Therefore, as long as no new setting request or image transfer request is detected in the processing of step a1 or step a11 in the camera control processing in the next cycle or later, the information processing terminal 11 performs step a1 for which both the determination results are false. After the execution of the determination process in step a11, it is determined whether or not a value other than 0 is set in the shooting execution flag F in the same manner as described above (step a1).
2) At this stage, as described above, the shooting execution flag F
Is set to either 1 or 2.

First, if the value 1 indicating the execution of interval shooting has been set in the shooting execution flag F, the result of the determination in step a13 becomes true, so that the information processing terminal 11
Determines whether the value of the timer Tr has reached the set interval t (step a14), and if not, ends the task processing of the cycle as it is.

Thereafter, the discriminating process of steps a1 and a11 to a14 is repeatedly executed at predetermined intervals in the same manner as described above, and it is detected by the discriminating process of step a14 that the value of the timer Tr has reached the set interval t. Then, the information processing terminal 11 resets and restarts the timer Tr again (step a15), outputs a snapshot command to the surveillance camera 9 to execute shooting (step a16), and displays the shot image. The captured image data is added (step a17), and the image data is added to the image file means specific to the owner 2 corresponding to the monitoring camera 9 and stored together with the photographing time and the weather information detected by the weather sensor unit 13 at the time. (Step a18). In the present embodiment, furthermore, a data description area is provided in a part of the image frame, and the data of the shooting time and the weather information is stored in a bit-mapped font in this description area. Even when the image is reproduced and confirmed, it is possible to accurately grasp the weather information and the photographing time (including the date) at the time of photographing the image.

As described above, when the photographing execution flag F is set to 1, the processing of steps a15 to a18 is repeatedly executed every time the value of the timer Tr reaches the set interval t. In the image file means unique to the owner 2 corresponding to the monitoring camera 9, the image of the farmland 3 and the weather information at that time are stored in chronological order with the set interval t as a cycle.

On the other hand, if the determination result of step a13 is false, that is, if the value 2 indicating the execution of the set time shooting is set in the shooting execution flag F, the information processing terminal 11 The current time is read out using the clock function (step a19), and it is determined whether or not this current time matches the shooting execution time T (step a20).
If they do not match, the task processing in the cycle ends.

Thereafter, the processing of steps a1 and a11 to a13 and steps a19 to a20 is repeatedly executed at predetermined intervals in the same manner as described above, and it is determined in step a20 that the current time coincides with the photographing execution time T. When the information processing terminal 11 is detected in the determination process,
Outputs a snapshot command to the surveillance camera 9 to execute photographing (step a16), captures a photographed image (step a17), and detects the image data at the photographing time and the weather sensor unit 13 at the time. The information is added to the image file means unique to the owner 2 corresponding to the monitoring camera 9 and stored together with the weather information (step 18).

As described above, when the photographing execution flag F is set to 2, the processing of steps a16 to a18 is executed at a predetermined time (photographing execution time T) in one day. The image file means unique to the owner 2 corresponding to the surveillance camera 9 includes a fixed time T every day.
Each time, the image of the farmland 3 and the weather information at that time are stored in chronological order. Note that the shooting execution time T is T1, T
By setting a plurality of times, such as 2, T3,..., It is possible to execute a plurality of times of shooting in one day.

When the owner 2 operates the owner information terminal 6 as necessary and inputs an image transfer request to the information processing terminal 11 via the Internet 7, the information processing terminal 11 performs this determination processing in step a11. An image transfer request is detected, and the image data in the image file means is transferred to the corresponding owner's information terminal 6 via the Internet 7 (step a21). Then, the owner 2 checks the image of the farmland 3 using the image reproduction program installed in the owner information terminal 6.

As described above, the image of the farmland 3 photographed at the predetermined interval t and the image of the farmland 3 photographed at the fixed time T in one day are put together in a time series.
The method of storing the image data in the image file means 1 and collectively transferring the image data to the owner information terminal 6 later is performed when the owner 2 is relatively busy. This is convenient when it is desired to check the state of the farm 3 for a day.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an outline of the processing operation of the information processing terminal 11 in a case where an image is stored only when a time-series change occurs in an image captured by the monitoring camera 9. The setting processing relating to the adjustment of the direction of the optical axis, the angle of view, and the like is the same as described above, so that the description is omitted. As described above, the camera control process is a process that is repeatedly executed by the information processing terminal 11 at predetermined intervals.

In this case, the information processing terminal 11 that has started the camera control process first determines whether or not an image transfer request corresponding to the surveillance camera 9 has been input via the owner information terminal 6 and the Internet 7. However, if an image transfer request is not detected, the information processing terminal 11 outputs a snapshot command to the monitoring camera 9 to execute shooting (step b2),
The captured image is fetched (step b3), and it is determined whether or not the comparison data storage confirmation flag f is set (step b4).

In the initial stage after the power is turned on, the comparison target data storage confirmation flag f is held in the reset state, so that the determination result in step b4 is necessarily true,
The information processing terminal 11 first saves the image data of the farmland 3 captured in the processing of step b3 in the processing cycle in a temporary storage memory (step b5), and sets the comparison target data storage confirmation flag f ( Step b
6) The task processing of the cycle ends as it is.

In the camera control process in the next cycle and thereafter, the processes of steps b1 to b4 are executed in the same manner as described above. However, at this stage, since the comparison target data storage confirmation flag f has already been set, The determination result of step b4 is false.

Therefore, the information processing terminal 11 transmits the image data of the farmland 3 captured in the processing of step b3 in the processing cycle and the image data of the farmland 3 stored in the temporary storage memory in the processing of step b5 in the previous cycle. , That is, the amount of change between the image data of the farmland 3 captured in the processing of step b2 in the processing cycle and the image data of the farmland 3 captured in the processing of step b2 in the previous cycle. After that (step b7), the image data of the farmland 3 acquired in the processing of step b3 in the processing cycle is updated and stored in the temporary storage memory (step b8), and the difference calculated in the processing of step b7 is calculated. Whether the absolute value exceeds the set value, that is, the image of the farmland 3 captured in the camera control processing in the previous cycle and the camera control processing in the processing cycle Determines whether or not a predetermined or more changes between the shadow has been land 3 of the image has occurred (step b
9).

If the absolute value of the difference does not exceed the set value and no difference is found between the image of the previous cycle and the image of the processing cycle, that is, the result of determination in step b9 is false. In this case, the information processing terminal 11 ends the task processing in the cycle as it is. In this case, only the image in the temporary storage memory to be compared is updated.

If the absolute value of the difference exceeds the set value and it is recognized that there is a certain difference or more between the image of the previous cycle and the image of the processing cycle, that is, step b
9 is true, the information processing terminal 11
Is an image unique to the owner 2 corresponding to the surveillance camera 9 together with the photographing time and the weather information detected by the weather sensor unit 13 at the time of capturing the image data of the farmland 3 captured in the processing of step b3 in the processing cycle Save in addition to file means (step b1
0).

Here, the value of the difference in step b7 is obtained, for example, by subjecting each image to gray scale processing, and comparing the density of the bitmap data of the corresponding portion in each image (however, the above-described shooting time and weather information (Excluding the portion of the data description area for storing), and integrating the absolute value of the density difference of each part over the entire image. Although the density of the image changes due to the change in sunlight, it can be dealt with by making the amount of light incident through the lens of the surveillance camera 9 constant by automatic iris or the like. Since the image is always compared with the immediately preceding image, a uniform, slow and continuous change in the light state over the entire screen, such as a change in the sunshine, is not captured as a change in the image.

When it is necessary to discriminate a change in the image that occurs on the entire screen due to shaking due to wind or the like and a partial change in the image due to the invasion of wild animals or people, the image is divided into a plurality of sections. And calculate the integral of the difference for each section,
When the integrated value of the difference for each section is substantially the same, a change in the entire screen caused by shaking due to wind or the like, or when a section in which the integrated value of the difference is greater than other parts is detected. Can be determined as a partial change of the image due to the invasion of a wild animal or a person, and the image may be stored only when a partial change occurs in the image.

Of course, it is also possible to provide an optical sensor or the like independent of the surveillance camera 9 to detect an abnormality occurring in the farmland 3 and execute an image storage process for a predetermined time in response to an abnormality detection signal from the optical sensor. It is possible.

When the owner 2 operates the owner information terminal 6 as necessary and inputs an image transfer request to the information processing terminal 11 via the Internet 7, the information processing terminal 11 detects this request in the determination processing of step b1. Then, the image data stored in the image file means is transferred to the owner information terminal 6 via the Internet 7 (step b11).

As described above, at the predetermined interval (t), the farmland 3
Is acquired and stored with weather information and the like, an image of the farmland 3 is acquired at a fixed time (T) in a day and stored with weather information and the like, The processing for saving an image only when a change occurs and confirming the image later will be described.
In order to check the image of the information processing terminal 11 in real time, the monitoring camera 9 continuously captures the image, and each time, the image of the web page of the information processing terminal 11 is updated with new photographing data and new weather information. I just want to go. The owner 2 accesses the web page of the information processing terminal 11 via the owner information terminal 6 and the Internet 7 to monitor the state of the farmland 3 and the weather information without delay by referring to the image rewritten in real time. Can be.

Next, grape cultivation and wine production using the owner-owned agricultural product cultivation system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 2 and 3 showing the overall work flow. .

First, a general consumer who does not have the farmland 3, for example, a consumer living in a city, pays a predetermined contract money to the organizer 10, and acquires the right as the owner 2 (step s1). . This contract has a certain period of time, for example,
Usage fee of the farmland 3 for 3 years, the working wage of the contract farmhouse 1 during this period, the guidance fee by the agricultural expert 4, the usage fee of the monitoring camera 9 and the weather sensor unit 13, and information serving also as a web server The disk usage fee of the processing terminal 11 is included. The contract is paid for three years in anticipation of the grape cultivation period required to grow good quality wine, during which the types of agricultural products to be cultivated, etc. Also depends on

After the contract is concluded, the organizer 10 allocates a predetermined section of the farmland 3 to the owner 2 and installs a surveillance camera 9 unique to the owner 2 on the allocated farmland 3. Further, the information processing terminal 11 also serving as a web server is operated to operate the owner 2.
Each web page is set up on the disk and each owner 2
A password or the like for executing permissions is issued to (step s2).

Next, the consumer who has become the owner 2 operates the own owner's information terminal 6 to access the Internet 7.
The user accesses the information processing terminal 11 also serving as a web server via the server, and selects a grape seedling suitable for his / her own purpose with reference to the image and description of the grape seedling displayed on the web page (step s3). At this stage, the qualification as the owner 2 has already been determined, and the owner 2 exchanges e-mail and the like with the agricultural expert 4 for his / her own purpose, for example, producing red wine, white wine, or rose. It is possible to receive advice on suitable grape seedling types. The type of grape seedling selected by owner 2 is information processing terminal 1
1 to the information terminal 5 for the farmer of the contract farmer 1 via the Internet 7.

Then, at this stage, the power is turned on to the surveillance camera 9 and the weather sensor unit 13 corresponding to the owner 2, and the use of the surveillance camera 9 and the like by the owner 2 is permitted (step s4). Training is started (step s5).

Grape cultivation starts with the planting of the selected grape seedlings, and includes various processes such as watering, weed control, pruning, etc. By exchanging e-mails and the like, the required agricultural knowledge can be acquired each time. In addition, a command can be given to the information processing terminal 11 via the Internet 7 via the owner information terminal 6 to adjust the direction of the optical axis and the angle of view of the surveillance camera 9 to accurately grasp the state of the farmland 3. Therefore, even if it is a city-grown consumer unfamiliar with agriculture, it is possible to accurately give work instructions to the contract farmer 1.

Here, when the owner 2 asks the agricultural expert 4 for guidance on growing grape seedlings, his own surveillance camera 9
In some cases, it may be more convenient to directly specify the image of the agricultural land 3 (grape growing state) and the data of the weather information, etc., taken by the agriculture expert 4 and confirm the image. In the present embodiment, the image photographed by the monitoring camera 9 is recorded together with the photographing time in the image file means unique to the owner 2 installed in the information processing terminal 11 also serving as a web server. It is not necessary for the owner 2 to attach a large amount of images to an e-mail and send it directly to the agricultural expert 4, but to describe the period in which the user wants to check the images in the e-mail using text data or the like. The information may be transmitted to the house 4 and the information processing terminal 11 may be directly accessed from the agricultural expert 4 receiving the e-mail. In this case, the information for specifying the image file means and the information for specifying the reproduction start time and the reproduction end time of the image are received, and a program for continuously reproducing the image in the image file means is streamed. It is installed in the processing terminal 11 in advance. Then, the agricultural expert 4 having received the e-mail from the owner 2 accesses the information processing terminal 11 via the Internet 7 with his / her personal computer 8 based on the information attached to the e-mail, and By specifying the address of the image file means and inputting the start time and end time of the period for which the user wants to check the image,
Image data for a specified period can be automatically transferred to the personal computer 8 of the agricultural expert 4. As described above, the image data stored in the image file means is embedded with the photographing time and the weather information at that point in a visible state (such as bitmap data) and stored. The house 4 can perform an accurate analysis operation while viewing the image.

Further, a specific command for describing the start time and end time of the photographing period that the owner 2 wants to check the image in the e-mail with text data or the like, for example, "reproduction start time (year / month / day)- End of playback (date)
Command is defined in the mailer program in advance, and the recipient of the e-mail (agricultural expert 4) opens the e-mail and executes this command, that is, the “reproduction start time (year / month Clicking on the display area of "date)-end of reproduction (year / month / day)", the mailer can automatically start a dedicated web browser or the like to start the above-described stream reproduction. . In this case, the agricultural expert 4 who received the e-mail
The required image can be referred to simply by clicking on a predetermined portion of the e-mail received from the owner 2, so that the work of confirming the image is further facilitated. In addition, the owner 2 is free from the hassle of downloading a large amount of images from the information processing terminal 11 and transferring it to the personal computer 8 of the agricultural expert 4,
It is also effective in reducing the cost required for communication and smoothing traffic on the network. this is,
This is because two network operations such as downloading of images by the owner 2 and transfer of images from the owner 2 to the agricultural expert 4 are substantially achieved by one network operation of downloading images by the agricultural expert 4. . In addition, as this kind of technology, for example,
It is known that a commercially available web browser or the like is started by clicking a homepage address described in an e-mail to access a predetermined homepage, and such technology is not applicable to image stream reproduction. Easy for those skilled in the art. Also, in order to specify the image file means of the owner 2 as the reference destination of the image, the unique information of the owner 2 is required.
Since the e-mail address unique to the e-mail address is attached to the e-mail address, the e-mail address is extracted by the internal processing of the personal computer 8 of the agricultural expert 4 and transmitted to the information processing terminal 11 as information for specifying the image file means. Thus, the information processing terminal 11 can specify the address of the image file unit based on the e-mail address of the owner 2 with reference to the database that manages the personal information of each owner 2.

Instructions from the owner 2 to the contract farmer 1, a work report of the contract farmer 1 for the instructions, a request for guidance from the owner 2 to the agricultural expert 4, and a reply from the agricultural expert 4 to this request As described above, the processing is executed using an e-mail or a file on a web page, and a history of the exchange of such information, an image taken by the surveillance camera 9, weather information detected by the weather sensor unit 13, and the like. Are stored in chronological order in the information processing terminal 11 also serving as a web server. If it is difficult to store the image of the surveillance camera 9 over the entire period required for growing the grapes, the owner 2
What is necessary is just to delete the images that are unnecessary.

Further, in exchanging information between the owner 2 and the agricultural expert 4, there is a case where the agricultural expert 4 recommends the use of the pesticide to the owner 2 or the like. Owner 2 is completely free, and contract farmer 1 works only in accordance with instructions from owner 2 until it gets tired. Since the surveillance camera 9 that the owner 2 can freely control is installed on the farmland 3,
Contract farmer 1 cannot spray pesticides against owner 2's intention.

Then, when the grape seedlings grow and bear fruit and it is a season in which the grape can be harvested, the contract farmer 1 performs the harvesting in response to the request from the owner 2 (step s).
6).

When the harvest is completed in this way (step s7), the owner 2 operates his own information terminal 6 to access the information processing terminal 11 also serving as a web server via the Internet 7, and displays the information on a web page. Choose your favorite from the wine brew barrels and wine labels to be produced. Further, the label for wine can be transferred to the information processing terminal 11 by attaching the label designed by the owner 2 to the e-mail (step s8).

On the other hand, the grapes harvested by the contract farmer 1 are transported to a wine factory or the like arranged by the organizer 10 and subjected to processing such as squeezing, fermenting, or pulling, and the owner 2
Is brewed in selected barrels (steps
9). When the wine is aged, the wine is packed in a bottle to which a label selected or designed by the owner 2 is attached (step s10). Here, the surveillance camera 9 may be installed in a wine factory or the like in the same manner as in the case of the farm 3, and the owner 2 may check the work flow.

When the wine as a product is completed in this way, the organizer 10 operates the information processing terminal 11 to issue an instruction from the owner 2 to the contract farmer 1, a work report of the contract farmer 1 in response to the instruction, A request from the owner 2 to the agricultural expert 4 and the agricultural expert 4 in response to this request
And the images and the like taken by the surveillance camera 9 are arranged in chronological order. If the surveillance camera 9 is not installed in a wine factory or the like, an image of the work scenery of the wine factory or the like is added later. Then, it is stored in a portable storage medium 12 unique to the owner 2, for example, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or the like, and delivered to the owner 2's home together with wine in response to a request from the owner 2. Also, depending on the request of the owner 2, data equivalent to that stored on a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or the like is disclosed on the Internet 7,
The surplus wine may be sold at an auction held on the Internet 7 (step s12).

As described above, in this embodiment, the owner 2 adopts a method of prepaying the contract money including the necessary expenses for three years. Using the farmland 3 and the contract farmhouse 1, it is possible to continuously carry out the above-described various processes for growing grapes.

Whether or not three years have passed since the contract is determined by the discriminating process in step s13. If three years have not passed since the contract, the current contract is further maintained by paying the contract money. It is determined whether or not the contract is valid for three years (step s14).
If it is the first contract valid for one year, the process returns to step s6 again, and various processes related to grape cultivation are continuously performed as described above.

Normally, it takes about three years to harvest grapes capable of producing wines of reasonable quality, and if three years have passed, the owner 2 may have acquired knowledge on grape cultivation. It is possible enough. Therefore, 3
At the end of the year, the risk of grape growing owner 2 is significantly reduced.

Therefore, when the contract for the first three years generated by the advance payment of the contract money is completed and the result of the determination in step s13 becomes true, the contract is temporarily terminated, and the owner 2 wishes to continue the contract again. If so, at this stage one more
Make sure to pay the annual membership fee. The annual membership fee paid here is approximately the same as the initial contract fee that includes the necessary expenses for three years, but this is a legitimate decision that has been made in consideration of owner 2's skill improvement and risk reduction. Value.

Whether or not the annual membership fee for the continuation of the contract has been paid is determined by the discriminating process in step s16. If the annual membership fee has been paid, the process returns to step s6 and returns to the step s6 in the same manner as described above. The various processes relating to the training of the child will be continued. If the annual fee is not paid, the contract expires.

Thereafter, whether or not the contract for one year maintained by the payment of the annual membership fee has expired is determined by the discriminating processing of steps s13 to s15. Since the second and subsequent contracts are made on a yearly basis, the result of the determination in step s13 will not be true, and the result of the determination in step s14 will necessarily be false. Here, when it is determined that one year has not passed in the determination processing in step s15, the process returns to step s6 again, and various processing related to grape cultivation is continued. When it is determined that one year has elapsed since the result of the determination in step s15 is true, it is determined whether or not to pay the annual membership fee for one year again (step s16). If it is, the contract will be maintained and if the annual fee is not paid, the contract will expire.

Information exchanged between the owner 2 and the agricultural expert 4 and between the owner 2 and the contract farmer 1 is automatically stored on the disk of the information processing terminal 11, so that owner 2 If you continue to renew your contract for a long time, you will gain a vast amount of knowledge and information related to grape cultivation. Therefore, in some cases, it is not impossible for the owner 2 himself to improve the grape varieties based on such knowledge and information.

FIG. 7 is a system configuration diagram showing another embodiment for cultivating grape and producing wine. In place of an agricultural expert supplying expert knowledge at the request of the owner, FIG. The point that an information processing terminal 11 also serving as an information distribution terminal as a web server that stores general knowledge required for cultivating agricultural products in a readable manner is provided on the Internet 7, and a plurality of owners 2a, The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that an owner group is formed by 2b,..., And the divided farmland 3 is used jointly in the owner group to grow grapes.

In this case, the information sources that can be used by the owners 2a, 2b,... To acquire specialized knowledge are limited to general knowledge stored in the information processing terminal 11, and the owners 2a, 2b,.・ Information terminal 6 for each owner
Access the information processing terminal 11 via the Internet 7 via a, 6b,..., and acquire the necessary knowledge. Therefore, the owners 2a, 2b,...
, The quality of the information that can be obtained is reduced, but it is no longer necessary to allocate agricultural experts, and the owners 2a, 2b,... And the overall cost can be reduced. As a result, there is an advantage that the contract money and the annual membership fee can be set lower, and a large number of owners can be acquired.

[0096] Although some embodiments have been described in detail with reference to grapes as agricultural products and wine that is a processed product thereof, other agricultural products capable of producing processed products, for example, rice and sake. With regard to the relationship between various fruits and juice, etc., it is possible to grow an agricultural product and manufacture a processed product by applying the same system configuration and operation steps substantially as described above.

In the case of agricultural products that do not produce or do not need to produce secondary processed products,
The only difference is that the processes in steps s8 to s10 are not necessary in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the cultivation of agricultural products, the attachment of the portable storage medium 12 such as a CD-ROM, and the auction With respect to a method of selling or the like, it is possible to apply exactly the same technology as described above.
