Language). The WBS is one of the methods used when making a plan in project management, and is a configuration diagram in which the entire project is divided into fine work, and is also called “work division configuration”, “work exploded view”, or the like.

  Examples of processing of biological production information by the processing means 12 of the terminal 10 include processing of biological production information performed by an operator at the site. Examples of biological production information processing performed by workers on-site include, for example, the production of biological production information that is made by human beings, and that combines human knowledge and wisdom. For example, acquisition of information (for example, sugar content of a fruit that needs to be collected and measured) is performed. The terminal 10 can process the biological production information by the processing means 12 and transmit it to the server 20.

  The server 20 may be anything as long as it includes the acquisition unit 21 and the DB 22. For example, a conventionally known server can be used. The server 20 stores the biological production information processed by the processing means 12 of the terminal 10 in the DB 22.

Can improve the quality of work.

(Embodiment 2)
The schematic diagram of FIG. 2 shows another example of the configuration of the biological production support system of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the same parts as those in FIG. As illustrated, the biological production support system of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the biological production support system shown in FIG. 1 except that it further includes a biological production information generation device 40. The biological production information generation device 40 and the server 20 can be connected via the communication network 30.

  Examples of the biological production information generation device 40 include a solar cell that measures the amount of sunlight (amount of solar radiation), a camera that monitors the environment and surroundings of the organism (for example, a network camera, a video camera, a digital camera, a web camera, etc.) Environmental sensors (such as thermocouples, thermistors, ceramics humidity sensors, polymer film humidity sensors, semiconductor gas sensors) that measure temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, soil temperature, soil moisture content, soil electrical conductivity (soil EC), soil sensors for measuring soil acidity (soil pH) and the like.

  The biological production information generated by the biological production information generation device 40 is transmitted to the terminal 10 via the communication line network 30 via the server 20 or without going through the server 20. The biological production information generated by the biological production information generation device 40 transmitted to the terminal 10 is processed by the processing means 12 of the terminal 10 and then stored in the DB 22 of the server 20.

  In the present embodiment, the processing means 12 of the terminal 10 is generated by, for example, the operation of the biological production information generation device 40, the method of capturing the biological production information generated by the biological production information generation device 40, or the biological production information generation device 40. A method for the operator to process the biological production information is managed as in the WBS.

  According to the biological production support system of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects of the first embodiment. First, instead of using the biological production information generated by the biological production information generation device 40 as it is, a decision error is made by adding a process in which an operator promptly decides what work should be performed next. Can be reduced. Moreover, the information which can be utilized next can be accumulate | stored by linking this prompt decision information with the biological production information produced | generated by the other biological production information production | generation apparatus 40 in DB22 of the server 20. FIG.

  Furthermore, according to the biological production support system of the present embodiment, the worker compares the biological production information visually obtained by the worker with the biological production information generated by the biological production information generation device 40 on the site. , It is possible to grasp the environment of biological growth in more detail and more accurately.

  In FIG. 2, the biological production information generation device 40 is shown independently, but the biological production information generation device 40 may be mounted on the terminal 10.

(Embodiment 3)
The schematic diagram of FIG. 3 shows still another example of the configuration of the biological production support system of the present invention. 3, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. As illustrated, the biological production support system of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the biological production support system shown in FIG. 1 except that the terminal 10 further includes a program control unit 13. The biological production support system of this embodiment may further include a biological production information generation device 40 shown in FIG.

  As described above, the program control unit 13 can select a program to be executed from a plurality of programs. The program control means 13 manages, for example, program selection like the WBS. Examples of multiple programs include, for example, multiple programs according to differences in cultivation environment such as soil differences or weather differences, multiple programs to meet demand side demands of retailers or consumers, natural disasters, etc. Thus, there are a plurality of programs for allowing an exceptional work when a plan becomes difficult to predict and an unexpected response is required, a plurality of programs according to the skill level of the worker, and the like.

  Workers have various levels of experience, such as beginners, persons who have some experience, and experts, and the information that is captured by the workers by visual inspection or the like varies from site to site. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the server function from becoming enormous by making the system capable of flexibly responding to the level of the worker, rather than solving all such differences in experience level with the server function. . In addition, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to cope with a case where a detailed support system is necessary when a worker who is different from a normal worker works as a temporary work agent or the like.

  When a program to be executed is selected from a plurality of programs according to the skill level of the worker, the terminal 10 has an IC tag reader and reads an IC tag for identifying the worker at the work site. Thus, a program corresponding to the ability of the worker may be selected. For example, for workers who have little experience in cultivating the crop in agriculture, a program that displays the work process in detail, for workers who have skills in cultivation of the crop Selects a program in which only the information that the worker wants to know is displayed.

(Embodiment 4)
The schematic diagram of FIG. 4 shows still another example of the configuration of the biological production support system of the present invention. 4, the same parts as those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. As shown in the figure, the biological production support system of this embodiment has the same configuration as the biological production support system shown in FIG. 3 except that the server 20 includes a program DB 23.

  The program DB 23 stores a plurality of programs selected by the program control means 13. In this embodiment, when selecting a program to be executed by the terminal 10, the program DB 23 of the server 20 is referred to via the communication line network 30. According to this embodiment, since the server 20 includes the program DB 23, the data capacity of the terminal 10 can be reduced. The biological production support system of the present embodiment may be compatible with, for example, cloud computing. Note that the program DB 23 may be stored in the terminal 10.

(Embodiment 5)
The schematic diagram of FIG. 5 shows an application example of the biological production support system shown in FIG. This embodiment is an example in which the biological production support system shown in FIG. In this example, the terminal 10 is a smartphone and is held by the worker 60, and the biological production information generation device 40 includes a solar cell, a network camera, an environmental sensor, and a soil sensor.

  In open-air agriculture such as mandarin orange 50, the environmental information of living organisms can be measured by the biological production information generation device 40, but cannot be controlled, and the growth of living organisms can be controlled but measured by the biological production information generation device 40. It is difficult to do. For this reason, biological production information acquired in the past and stored in the DB (not shown) of the server 20 is extremely important. According to the biological production support system of the present embodiment, the worker 60 stores the biological production information stored in the DB of the server 20 (failure and success history stored in the DB of the server 20) including the failure experience. The quality of work can be improved by referring to the mandarin orchard at the site.

  It is difficult to grasp variations in soil moisture due to variations in soil components (including microorganisms), slopes of land, etc., among living conditions of plants (plants). Further, in the measurement of the soil moisture content, the measurement position of the biological production information generating device 40 and the position of the root of the plant do not coincide with each other, so that the measurement by the biological production information device 40 is also difficult. In grasping the soil moisture content for crops with deep roots such as mandarin orange 50, for example, 15 cm and 30 cm for small plants, and 30 cm and 60 cm or 90 cm for large plants, etc. It is preferable to measure. In addition, the above-mentioned measurement depth is only an example and this invention is not limited to this.

  In addition, among the biological production information generated by the biological production information generation device 40, the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, etc. can be measured almost accurately without being affected by the arrangement of the biological production information generation device 40. In measuring the soil moisture content, it is necessary to devise the arrangement of the biological production information generating device 40. For example, when measuring soil moisture in a mandarin orchard, it is preferable to measure every other tree between trees, and the measured value of soil moisture is affected by the soil electrical conductivity (soil EC) value. Therefore, it is preferable to measure at a position of about 70 cm from the main trunk near the outer circumference under the trunk, avoiding the fertilizer applied between the trees.

  According to the biological production support system of the present embodiment, for example, the worker 60 obtains biological production information that cannot be obtained unless a person such as sugar content of the mandarin orange 50 that needs to collect and measure fruit juice is working, By transmitting to the server 20, it can be stored in the DB of the server 20.

  In addition, according to the biological production support system of the present embodiment, for example, the biological production information such as the amount of soil moisture generated by the biological production information generation device 40 is not used as it is, but the worker 60 has the necessary biological information. After processing such as selecting only production information, the information stored in the server 20 is prevented from becoming enormous and the quality of the input information to the server 20 is improved by transmitting to the server 20 It is possible.

  Furthermore, according to the biological production support system of the present embodiment, the biological production information visually obtained by the worker 60 and the biological production information generated by the biological production information generation device 40 are used in the mandarin orchard at the site. By comparing 60, the cultivating environment of the mandarin orange 50 can be grasped in more detail and more accurately.

  The biological production support system of the present invention can prevent the information stored in the server from becoming enormous, and can improve the quality of information input to the server. The use of the biological production support system of the present invention is not particularly limited, and can be applied to a wide range of fields such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and livestock.
