Description

  The present invention relates to a horticultural management system for managing horticultural plants.

  In general, in horticulture, plants such as flowers, fruit trees, etc. are planted mainly in flowerpots with planting materials suitable for plants, cultivation management is performed, plants are grown, and flowers and fruits are enjoyed. Originally, plants enjoyed by horticulture are grown in nature, and are managed under cultivation in an environment where humans live and compensate for environmental changes through horticultural management. For this reason, a flower pot and a planting material corresponding to the plant are necessary, and time must be passed, and the planting must be replanted according to the deterioration of the planting material, the growth of the plant, and the like. It is also necessary to manage the growth environment such as temperature and humidity, as well as management for watering, fertilizer, sunlight, ventilation and the like. In particular, many Orchidaceae plants grow naturally in tropical rainforests, and ordinary orchids need to be managed in a greenhouse. Furthermore, many Orchidaceae plants grow and bloom under the climate unique to their own dough, and it is quite difficult to supplement this with horticultural management.

  As such cultivation management of many orchid hobbyists and orchid companies that produce and cultivate orchids, fill in the necessary items of cultivation data on so-called horticultural labels, and containers and plantings that plant each orchid They are inserted into or attached to objects (various flower pots, wooden frames, cork boards, hego boards, etc.). The label contains the cultivation information unique to the inserted orchid, but generally in the horticultural field, the label is often used by describing the name of the plant.

  In this way, the label is valuable, but if it is used for a long period of time, information such as written letters will be lost due to watering or sunlight. In general, cultivation management such as replanting of horticultural plants is often carried out every year, and label information is required for several years. In addition, the amount of information increases, and even if a measure such as adding a label cannot be written with a label, there is a limit to the number that can be inserted into a flower pot.

  As means for solving such problems, the present inventor has provided a gardening lapel having an RFID tag (see Patent Document 3). Thereby, the management of orchid cultivation can be improved. However, in general, when a hobbyist purchases orchid from a seller such as orchid or obtains orchid by donation, etc., the information up to that point and information on cultivation after acquisition are general and simple management. Only information can be obtained. Therefore, at the time of acquisition, the continuity of cultivation management is lost, and obstacles such as growth stop tend to occur. In particular, hybrids that are close to or close to the original species are highly dependent on the climate unique to their own dough and are prone to failure. In addition, the subsequent management can only be managed by the usually obtained cultivation management method, and the cultivation management specific to the plant mainly consisting of the original species requires a long cultivation experience, and a general gardening hobbyist is expensive. It is quite difficult to cultivate orchid seeds.

  The present invention solves the problems as described above, and the horticultural label and the horticulture that can obtain the information necessary for the cultivation management of the horticultural plant for each plant and can be easily managed for each plant after acquisition. It is an object to provide a management system.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the invention of claim 1 of the present invention is an RFID tag in which unique information of a plant that can be recognized by a plant seller is written in a horticultural label attached to a plant. It is made into the label for gardening characterized by having.

  The horticultural label of the present application has an RFID tag in which unique information of a plant that can be recognized by a plant seller is written. A hobbyist who has purchased a plant, etc., reads the plant specific information from the RFID tag using a reader / writer and communicates this information to the seller, so that only the seller selects the plant from the plant specific information. Since it can be specified, horticultural information before being obtained from the seller can be obtained. For example, the unique information of this plant is transmitted to the server of the seller through the communication network, and the seller can identify the plant from the unique information of the plant, returns the cultivation data before the acquisition and the management method after the acquisition, Since the purchaser can obtain the information, it is a horticultural label that can maintain the continuity of cultivation before and after acquisition and facilitate the cultivation management of the obtained plant.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a horticultural label having an RFID tag attached to a plant and having horticultural information of the plant written thereon, and a horticultural plant having a horticultural label that communicates with the RFID tag. A reader / writer for writing and reading information, a storage means for storing horticultural information, and a sales data reading means for reading the horticultural information of plants connected to a server storing the horticultural information of plants via a communication network This is a horticultural management system characterized by

  Here, as gardening information, the seller's sales management information, cultivation management information, and cultivation information regarding plants can be exemplified. The sales management information of the seller is information necessary for sales management, such as a plant management number, a name, and a price. As cultivation management information, it is management information necessary for cultivation, the number of years necessary for replanting, the timing of fertilizer application, the timing of watering, the timing of heating, the timing of shading, various types that can be used for cultivation The flower pot, its size, etc. As cultivation information, it is data indicating the state of the plant when the plant was obtained or when the cultivation was managed, the time when the plant was replanted, the number of strains, the pot size planted, the number of flowers, the time of flowering, the time of fertilizer application For the sake of convenience, the date of acquisition of the plant, the source, and the purchase price may be included.

  A seller refers to a person who writes horticultural information of sold plants on a server. Therefore, it does not necessarily mean a person who sold at a store or the like, and includes a plant producer. Since information can be obtained easily, it is preferable to be a producer / cultivator.

  In the horticultural management system of the present invention, the seller of the plant writes in advance the sales management information that can identify at least the plant as the horticultural information of the plant in the RFID tag, and the hobbyist who acquired the plant acquires the plant, The horticultural information is read by the reader / writer from the horticultural label having the attached RFID tag and stored in the storage means. The hobbyist can use the sales data reading means using the sales management information, and connect to the server of the seller who stores the gardening information of the plant via the communication network and read the gardening information at least before obtaining the plant. it can. Moreover, since the hobbyist can store the acquired horticultural information in an RFID tag or storage means using a reader / writer, the continuity before and after acquisition can be maintained from the horticultural information before cultivation and the horticultural information after acquisition. Cultivation management is easy.

The invention of claim 3 of the present invention is a server storing cultivation information before sale as plant information, a storage means additionally recording cultivation information after obtaining the plant and a database of plant cultivation management information, and From the sales data reading means for reading and storing the cultivation information before the sales of the seller, the cultivation information before the sales obtained by the sales data reading means, the cultivation information after the acquisition and the cultivation management information database, The horticultural management system according to claim 2, further comprising cultivation management notification means for promptly promoting cultivation management.

  The horticultural system of the present invention additionally records the cultivation information after obtaining the plant and the cultivation management information database of the plant in the storage means, and further from the server of the seller who stores the cultivation information before sale as plant information, Cultivation management notification means that promptly promotes cultivation management of plants from the cultivation information before sale, the cultivation information before sale, the cultivation information after acquisition, and the cultivation management information database. Therefore, the cultivation management of the obtained plant is easy while maintaining the continuity of the cultivation before and after the acquisition.

  In the invention of claim 4 of the present invention, the cultivation management is plant replanting, and the plant that needs to be replanted, the kind and amount of pots necessary for replanting, and the kind and amount of planting material The horticultural management system according to claim 3, wherein the horticultural management notification means outputs and prompts the cultivation management in a timely manner.

  In the horticultural system of the present invention, the cultivation management is a plant replanting, and the plant management that needs to be replanted, the type and amount of pots necessary for replanting, and the type and amount of planting material are announced. Since it is output by means, it is a horticultural label and a horticultural management system that can maintain continuity before and after acquisition and can be easily managed for replanting.

  Since the present application is configured as described above, the information necessary for the cultivation management of the horticultural plant can be obtained for each plant before and after that, and the necessary information can be stored for each plant for a long period of time. It is possible to provide a horticultural label and a horticultural management system that facilitates cultivation management.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below.

  The horticultural label of the present invention has an RFID tag. The RFID tag may be attached to a conventional label, or may be attached with a string or the like by making a hole in the label. You can enter the name of the plant on one side of the label with the tag attached or on the part where the tag is not attached. The label may be inserted into the pot or attached to the plant body. In particular, when it is difficult to attach to planted materials, such as planting on cork or wooden frames, it may be attached to the plant body. The RFID tag can describe horticultural information such as plant names and plant cultivation information by the reader / writer. The information data is exemplified above. However, all or a part of these may be stored in the storage means on the reader / writer side. In this way, even if the information written on the label disappears, it can be easily read from the RFID by a reader / writer and recovered immediately. Therefore, all the information necessary for cultivation of horticultural plants can be described for each plant, and the information can be retained for a long time.

For example, in the case of a plant producer / cultivator, sales management information is written on the label. Information that is not unique to a plant such as a gardening store name or a coded symbol for identifying a plant is entered, and the unique information of the plant is described in an RFID tag or a reader / writer. If it does in this way, since information, such as a name about the plant, will not be understood by a third party on the spot, the presence or absence of its value will not be understood, and the plant can be protected from theft. However, in this case, it is preferable that the unique information is described in a reader / writer or the like and not described in the RFID tag. If the information is needed by a customer or the like, a reader / writer can be lent at the store and read easily. Plant-specific data may be stored in a server connected to a communication network. In particular, when a plant is sold, the coded symbol and its unique data are stored in a server. Furthermore, if there is a cultivation management method unique to the plant, such as the original species, it is also stored in the server after sales. In this way, after sales, unique data can be provided to a hobbyist who has obtained a plant using a coded symbol for identifying the plant via a communication network.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view schematically showing an example of a horticultural management system of the present invention. A horticultural label 1 having an RFID tag 2 in which plant horticultural information is written, a reader / writer 3 that communicates with the RFID tag 2 and writes and reads horticultural information of the plant with the horticultural label 1; Storage means 4 for storing horticultural information, sales data reading means 6 for reading plant horticultural information connected to a server of a plant seller connected via a communication network 7, and cultivation for promptly promoting plant cultivation management This is a horticultural management system comprising management notification means 5. The storage unit 4 may be provided in the RFID tag 2 or the reader / writer 3, but may be provided in a separate storage device so that it can be connected to the reader / writer 3 so as to be detachable, for example. With such a system, the name of the plant and the horticultural information of the plant as described above are stored in the storage means 4. In addition, when the plant itself has changed, for example, when it has been flowered or when it has been fertilized, the cultivation information of such a plant is used on the spot where the cultivation management is performed using the RFID 2 and the reader / writer 3. It can be stored in the storage means 4. In addition, since the cultivation manager can know such information from the reader / writer 3 on the spot, it is possible to easily know the next fertilizer, the time of replanting, and the like. Further, the sales data reading means 6 can be connected to the plant seller server 8 via the communication network 7. In this case, the reader / writer 3 may be directly connected, but a connection computer may be separately provided to connect to the reader / writer and the communication network. Furthermore, it is better to provide the cultivation management notification means 5 for promptly promoting the cultivation management of the plant in the computer for connection.

  The dealer's server 8 stores, for each plant sold, its unique code, past cultivation history before sale, and cultivation information unique to the plant after sale, such as horticultural information of the plant. . This information can be obtained by the cultivation manager, and the horticultural information before the acquisition is stored in the storage means.

  In addition, when a hobbyist who purchased a plant, etc., inquires about horticultural information such as past history of plants sold through the communication network, the seller inputs the personal information of the purchaser and the code written on the label. You may make it make it do. Then, information specified by the code is disclosed. By doing so, it is accumulated which hobbyist purchased what kind of plant, so the tendency of the hobbyist for the plant can be understood. For example, even for sales promotion, sales promotion according to personal preference is possible. It becomes possible, and efficient sales promotion can be performed. The contents of the sales promotion can include new plant arrival information, plant exhibition information, plant tour guidance, and the like.

  Gardening plant cultivation management includes specific management items such as replanting, watering, fertilizer, ventilation, temperature, humidity, and shading. In particular, in orchid cultivation, greenhouse cultivation is the mainstream, and management of ventilation, temperature, humidity, shading, etc. is not individual plant management but mainly collective management. Therefore, an embodiment of the system of the present invention will be described with respect to replanting, which is an individual management item.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the present system. When the plant is obtained, the data for identifying the plant, such as a plant-specific code written on the gardening label 1 by the seller, is used via the communication network 7 from the reader / writer 3 or the communication network computer, The cultivation information before obtaining the plant is obtained from a homepage or the like recorded in the server 8 of the dealer.

In the example of the horticultural management system of the present application, for plants that have already been cultivated by a hobbyist, the cultivation data of each plant is used, as described above, the horticultural label 1 having the RFID tag 2 and the RFID tag 2. Then, it is recorded in the cultivation database 41 by the reader / writer 3 and the storage means 4. And the database 42 which manages plant cultivation is recorded in the memory | storage means 4,
This is a horticultural management system including a cultivation management notification means 5 that promptly promotes plant cultivation management from the plant cultivation database 41 and the cultivation management database 42.

  When the plant is obtained, the sales data reading means 6 connects the horticultural information before the acquisition of the individual plant to the server 8 of the plant seller via the communication network 7 and reads it, and reads the cultivation information into the cultivation database. In 41, cultivation management information is memorize | stored in the database 42 which manages cultivation (S1). If not available, the horticultural information that can be determined from the situation when the plant is obtained is stored in each database (S1). For example, if it is desired to replant Cattleya, which is a typical orchid, this month, the system selects replanting (S2). Next, the genus name of the plant to be implemented is input at the time of implementation (S3). Here, enter the genus Cattleya with the time as this month. From now on, in the system, the cultivation data of the target plant is extracted from the cultivation database 41 described in the storage means (S3). In this case, data of each cattleya is extracted from the cultivation database 41. Next, the extracted cultivation management data of the target plant is extracted (S4). In this case, the years necessary for replanting each Cattleya, the types and sizes of the pots to be replanted, and the types and unit amounts (amount per pot size) of the planting material corresponding to the years are extracted for each plant. Furthermore, only the cattleya that needs to be replanted this month is finally extracted from the past replanting time obtained from the cultivation database and the necessary years of replanting obtained from the management database. Next, from the extracted individual cultivation data and cultivation management data, the amount of plants that need to be replanted, the amount of each type of plant pot required, the amount of each type of planting material required, etc., by means of cultivation notification means Calculate (S6). The result is further output by the cultivation management notification means 5 (S7). As a result of such management, we will arrange plant pots, planting materials and target plants necessary for replanting in advance, and carry out replanting, so it is easy and efficient to maintain continuity of cultivation before and after acquisition it can.

  In addition to this, the use of fertilizer can be exemplified. For each plant, the type and amount of fertilizer, the time when the fertilizer was applied, and the like are stored as cultivation data using the label and reader / writer of the present application. In addition, the effective period of various fertilizers, the start of fertilizer application (giving fertilizer), the end of fertilizer application (generally, in orchid, the period from the start of growth to the maturity is the time when fertilizer is required) And so on. When the horticultural information can be obtained as described above when the plant is obtained, it is read from the seller's server and stored in the database. From this point, it is possible to easily know the selection and quantity of plants to be given fertilizer at the time of the present system, and to maintain the continuity of cultivation before and after acquisition, and to easily and efficiently carry out fertilizer.

  When the amount of data further increases, for example, a separate system and storage means may be provided, and the system may be used and managed by writing, copying, or downloading data.

It is explanatory drawing which showed typically the example of the gardening management system of this invention. It is a flowchart of the example which manages replanting management using the example of the horticultural management system of this invention.
