Description

  The present invention relates to a plant cultivation management device, its system, method, and program, and more specifically, a plant cultivation management device, a plant cultivation management system, a plant cultivation management method, and a plant cultivation management using an automatic water supply system for plants. It is about the program.

  It is desirable to cultivate as many plants as possible in order to maintain and improve the global environment and improve the self-sufficiency rate of food (agricultural products) in Japan. Currently, the main business in Japan that leads to the cultivation of plants is landscaping, agriculture, and selling ornamental plants by horticultural shops.

However, in the case of the landscaping industry, it is difficult to replant trees and the work tends to taper due to the decrease in the garden. In addition, in the case of agriculture, it is pushed by cheap imported goods produced overseas with low labor costs, the sales price is cheap and unprofitable, but the yield is not stable due to the weather. Since then, the number of workers has decreased year by year. Furthermore, in the horticultural shop, it takes time and effort to maintain and manage the plant, which is a product, and labor costs increase, so the work tends to taper.
As described above, there are various problems in the conventional business, and it is difficult to improve the growth of plants.

  Also, plants may be cultivated as a hobby rather than business, but even if there is a desire to cultivate plants due to daily troubles such as irrigation and water retention work for cultivating plants, The number of people growing is very small and does not increase as expected.

  On the other hand, in urban areas, the number of buildings and asphalt made of concrete has increased, and green spaces and water surfaces have decreased, and artificial exhaust heat from air conditioners has increased. A so-called heat island phenomenon has been confirmed, in which heat is no longer absorbed on the surface and heat accumulates in the city.

As one of the measures to alleviate this heat island phenomenon, environmental improvement by plant cultivation has been proposed. In particular, a green roof in harsh environments, so from suppressing the temperature rise of the roof in the vaporization heat of immobilization and transpiration of plants original CO _2, it attracted nationwide attention is actively performed It is coming.
Therefore, if rooftop greening of buildings spreads, the heat island phenomenon will decrease, the environment will improve, and the self-sufficiency rate of food in Japan will increase, which is highly desirable.

However, existing buildings are not necessarily built in consideration of rooftop greening, and there are problems with irrigation and water retention for growing plants.
Therefore, several proposals have been made regarding irrigation and water retention media for rooftops and roofs that are easily dried by sunshine (see, for example, Patent Document 1 or 2).
Some plant cultivation systems that allow users to actively participate in plant cultivation have also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 to 5).

However, even if a technique related to irrigation and water retention medium for cultivating plants and a plant cultivation technique that allows users to be actively involved in plant cultivation have been proposed, many people continue to do so. No proposal has been made to encourage plant cultivation.
Japanese Patent No. 3421848 JP 2002-281842 A JP 2002-73728 A JP 2005-261111 A JP 2006-101812 A
