While the communication device 10, the information processing device 2, and the information terminal device 5 in the production information processing system 100 are activated, the processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is repeatedly executed.

  The communication device 10 determines whether or not the sensor data periodically transmitted from the control device 11 is received by the processor 100 (step S11). If it is determined that it has been received (S11: YES), the processor 100 reads the identifier for identifying each communication device 10 itself stored in the memory 102 or the attribute information given to the node 1 (step S12). The processor 100 associates the received sensor data with the identifier or attribute information read in step S12, and transmits it to the information processing apparatus 2 as a parameter relating to production in the node 1 (step S13).

Accept (step S51). The processor 50 transmits the information indicating the received yield together with the time information indicating the date (or period) and the identification information via the communication unit 55 (step S52), and ends the one-time yield transmission process. Note that the yield input is not limited to a Web page provided by a Web server operating on the information processing apparatus 2. For example, the yield counted for each production area or producer in the shipping management system managed by the agricultural cooperative to which the producer belongs is indicated by the identification information for identifying each production area or producer for each item and variety. The information processing apparatus 2 of the information processing system 100 may be configured to read from the shipping management system.

  In the information processing apparatus 2, the processor 20 performs the following processing based on the information processing program 21P stored in the storage unit. The processor 20 receives the parameter relating to production transmitted from the communication device 10 of each node 1 by the communication unit 23 (step S21), and associates the parameter with the corresponding transmitted identifier or attribute information to produce information DB3. (Step S22). In step S22, the processor 20 stores the time information transmitted together with the parameter in association with the parameter. The processor 20 receives the yield information transmitted from the information terminal device 5 at an arbitrary timing by the communication unit 23 (step S23). The processor 20 stores the received yield of the crop in the production information DB 3 in association with the time information transmitted in association with the yield and the identification information for identifying each (step S24), and ends the processing. . Steps S21 and S22 and steps S23 and S24 are implemented as separate processes. Steps S21 and S22 are performed every time data is transmitted from each communication device 10 (several times or more per day), and steps S23 and S24 are performed once or less than once a day.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of information stored in the production information DB 3. The production information DB 3 includes, for example, a production information table that stores parameters relating to production obtained from the communication device 10 of each node 1, a yield table that stores yields obtained from the producer's input or shipping system, and crops to be produced. A production type table for identifying each is included. The yield table and the production type table correspond to an attribute table that stores attribute information indicating the characteristics of the production area. The production information DB 3 may include various other tables, and is not limited to the database structure as shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the production information table includes parameters (temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, moisture content, etc.) relating to the production of agricultural products transmitted from the communication device 10 together with the date and time of identification or measurement information. It is remembered. The identification information is identification information for identifying the crop production area for each item and variety to be produced, that is, information for identifying the node 1. In the yield table, the daily yield is stored in association with identification information for identifying the harvested production area, that is, the node 1. In the production type table, identification information for identifying the node 1, the item and type of the crop produced at the node 1, the production location, the identifier of the communication device 10 corresponding to the node 1, and the location information of the production location (address) , Name, latitude / longitude, etc.), area information indicating a wider area than the position information, and attribute information such as the soil of the production area are stored in association with each other.

  Further, in the production type table, it is preferable that information indicating permission (OK) or non-permission (NG) of disclosure of parameters relating to production is stored in association with each node 1, that is, the item and type of the crop and the production area. Not only permission for disclosure but also analysis (learning processing described later) may be stored in association with permission (analysis OK) or the like for plural types of permission / inhibition.

  Based on the learning program 22P stored in the memory 21, the processor 20 of the information processing device 2 analyzes the data aggregated for each node 1 with respect to the production information DB 3 having the contents shown in the explanatory diagram of FIG. The analysis result is provided so as to be viewable from the information terminal device 5. As an example of the analysis process, the processor 20 creates a graph or the like by calculating the yield as monthly, daily or yearly data for each piece of identification information for identifying the node 1, that is, for each kind and place of production. At this time, the processor 20 may be able to browse only the graph of the data of the node 1 whose disclosure is permitted (OK). Further, as another example of the analysis processing, the processor 20 uses the parameters (temperature, humidity) most suitable for producing the agricultural products of the variety for each variety from the parameters relating to the production stored in the production information table of FIG. , Carbon dioxide concentration, moisture content, etc.). The processor 20 calculates and outputs the estimated optimum parameter for each day and time. For example, when the variety x1 is produced in a production area in the north Kanto area, the information includes information such as what time the temperature in the cultivation facility is set and what humidity is the percentage. Also in this case, the processor 20 may execute the optimum parameter calculation process using only the parameters of the node 1 whose analysis is OK.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of analysis processing in the information processing apparatus 2. The processor 20 of the information processing device 2 executes the following processing intermittently, such as once every week, independently of the processing procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. The following processing based on the learning program 22P may be executed on a computer different from the computer that performs processing based on the information processing program 21P.

  The processor 20 selects a production item (step S201), and extracts sensor data from the production information table of the production information DB 3 and information indicating the yield from the yield table for the selected production item (step S202). The processor 20 performs a predetermined analysis process based on the extracted sensor data and information indicating the yield (step S203). The contents of the analysis processing are, for example, statistical processing, AI (Artificial Intelligence) learning, and the like. Based on the learning program 22P, the processor 20 performs other processes such as obtaining and associating weather-related information from the outside based on the date / time information of each parameter, and obtaining statistical information by classifying data or yield for each region. May be executed.

  Then, the processor 20 outputs the yield as data for every month, every day or every year for each identification information of the node 1, that is, for each kind and place of production (step S204). The output destination is the production information DB 3, and thereby a yield table for each node 1 may be created or output to the information terminal device 5 described later.

  Further, the processor 20 creates a parameter that is optimal for each region of the production area for the production item selected in step S1 (step S205), and stores the optimal parameter in the storage unit 21 or the production information DB 3 (step S206). The process ends.

  6 and 7 are explanatory diagrams illustrating examples of screens displayed by the processing of the information processing apparatus 2. 6 and 7 are, for example, provided by the Web server that operates on the information processing apparatus 2 according to the first embodiment, and the display unit of the information terminal apparatus 5 based on the account information issued to each producer about the production information processing system 100 A screen 531 displayed at 53 is shown. The screen 531 shown in FIG. 6 includes a graph in which the yields collected for the item X by the information processing apparatus 2 and stored in the yield table of the production information DB 3 are summed up by month for each production place and product type. Yes. Further, the screen 531 includes a link button 5311 to a screen showing details of production information regarding the production of each crop.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the content of the detailed information screen 532 when the link button 5311 is selected. In the example of FIG. 7, a screen example of detailed information regarding the identification information xa1 (item X, product type x1, production area A) is shown. The detailed information screen 532 shows the details of the varieties and the attribute information (the area of the production area A, the type of soil, etc. as “attribute data”), the monthly yield distribution, and other varieties in the same production area It includes the yield distribution of each year compared with (x2). The detailed information screen 532 includes a “SELECT” button 5321. When the “SELECT” button 5321 is selected, parameters relating to production at the node 1 identified by the displayed identification information xa 1 are transmitted to the information terminal device 5. The parameters to be transmitted are parameters corresponding to a predetermined period such as the past year, the current month, or the current day. Further, the parameter to be transmitted may be only the parameter associated with the identification information of the node 1 whose disclosure is OK. In the first place, it is preferable that the production information of the node 1 whose disclosure is not permitted is not selectable on the screen shown in the screen example of FIG. 6 or FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process for transmitting production information from the information processing apparatus 2. The processing procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8 is executed based on the information processing program 21P. A computer different from the information processing apparatus 2 that receives the parameters and yield shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 or the information processing apparatus 2 that performs the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 may be used.

  The processor 20 of the information processing device 2 accepts a parameter related to the production of a product in any production area or a request for sending an optimum parameter according to the product, for example, by selecting a “SELECT” button 5321 in FIG. It is determined whether or not (step S211). If it is determined that the transmission request has been accepted (S211: YES), the processor 20 determines the parameter based on the production location and type of the selected parameter, that is, the identification information identifying the node 1 or the optimum parameter. It is determined whether disclosure is possible (step S212). When it is determined that disclosure is possible (S212: YES), the processor 20 extracts a corresponding parameter from the production information DB 3 (step S213). The processor 20 creates production information in which numerical information or character information corresponding to the extracted parameters is listed for each item in the time series indicated by the time information (step S214), and the produced production information is displayed. The information is transmitted to the requesting information terminal device 5 (step S215), and the process is terminated.

  The transmission in step S215 may be performed on a daily basis or on a monthly basis and may be transmitted at a constant cycle such as daily or monthly. The parameter transmitted in step S215 may be the latest parameter transmitted from the communication device 10 in the selected production area at that time of the day. The transmission destination of the production information in step S215 may be not only the information terminal device 5 that requested the transmission request but also the communication device 10. In this case, the processor 20 of the information processing device 2 determines the identifier of the communication device 10 based on the identification information of the node 1 associated with the account information of the producer who uses the information terminal device 5 that has requested the transmission request. Extraction is performed, and information is transmitted with the communication device 10 having the extracted identifier as a transmission destination. The communication device 10 may transmit the production information received by the processor 100 to the information terminal device 5 to output data on the display unit 53 of the information terminal device 5 or another display.

  If it is determined in step S211 that a transmission request has not been received (S211: NO), the processor 20 returns to step S211 and waits for reception. If it is determined in step S212 that disclosure is not possible (S212: NO), the processor 20 performs error processing as appropriate, such as notifying that disclosure is not permitted, and ends the processing.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, by transmitting the parameter relating to production in the selected node 1 or the calculated optimum parameter to the information terminal device 5 or the communication device 10, the producer can view it. For example, when the producer in the production area C wishes to transmit parameters relating to the production of the item X of the product type x1 in the production area A, the producer uses the information terminal device 5 based on the account information given to the producer. The corresponding parameters are selected in the screens 531 and 532 of FIGS. In this case, the parameter in which the identification information xa1 related to the item X and the product type x1 in the production area A is associated is extracted from the production information DB 3 and transmitted to the information terminal device 5, for example. The producer of the production area C who visually recognizes the parameters displayed on the display unit 53 of the information terminal device 5 can know how the production area A produces the crop of the variety x1. The producer of the production area C refers to these parameters and adjusts the room temperature, humidity, etc. in the cultivation facility. This is expected to improve the yield of item X in production area C. When the producer in the production area B wishes to transmit the optimum parameter for the item x2 of the item X, the corresponding parameter is selected from the information terminal device 5 in the screens 531 and 532 of FIGS. In this case, the optimum parameter created for the area including the production area B is extracted for the type x2 of the item X by the information processing apparatus 2 and transmitted to the information terminal apparatus 5, for example. The producer of the production area B adjusts the room temperature, humidity, etc. in the cultivation facility by referring to the optimum parameters. This is expected to improve the yield of the item X in the production area B.

  Further, in the production information processing system 100 of the present disclosure, it is possible to obtain parameters relating to production in other production areas, but adjustment is not always performed so that production is performed according to parameters in production areas with a high yield. On the other hand, for example, the producer of the production area B obtains data on the yield in the other production areas, and adjusts to increase the yield and improve the profitability when the yield is low in the other production areas. It becomes possible. Providing a system for distributing production information in this way enables various uses by producers.

  Furthermore, in the production information processing system 100 of the present disclosure, when a failure occurs in communication between the communication device 10 and the information processing device 2 via the network N, as described with reference to FIG. It is also possible to perform P2P communication on the network N or directly. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of P2P communication in the communication device 10. When the communication device 10 of each node 1 determines that communication with the information processing device 2 is impossible via the network N, the communication device 10 starts the following processing. The processor 100 of the communication device 10 periodically exchanges data including the identifier stored in the memory 102 with the other communication device 10 using the communication device 101 for the carrier network N2, and the path Create information. The route information may be created by the information processing device 2 based on the position information of the node 1 and distributed to the communication device 10 of each node 1.

  The processor 100 reads the attribute information stored in the memory 102, in particular, the region information for identifying the region of the production area, the item of the produced crop, and the information on the variety (step S101). The processor 100 transmits the read region information and item / product type information as inquiry information to the other communication device 10 based on the route information together with its own identifier (step S102).

  Simultaneously with the processing in steps S101 and 102, the processor 100 receives the inquiry information including the area information, the item, and the product type information transmitted from others together with the identifier of the other device (step S103), and is included in the received inquiry information. It is determined whether or not the region information and item / product type information to be matched with the attribute information stored in the memory 102 (step S104). When it is determined that they match (S104: YES), the processor 100 transmits the sensor data received from the control device 11 to the communication device 10 having the associated identifier as response information from the communication device 101 based on the path information. (Step S105).

  Then, the processor 100 receives sensor data from another communication device 10 that stores attribute information that matches its own attribute information as response information having its own identifier as the destination (step S106). The processor 100 stores the received sensor data as the latest data in the memory 102 or outputs it to others (step S107), and ends the process.

  If it is determined in step S104 that they do not match (S104: NO), the processor 100 transfers the received inquiry information to another communication device 10 (step S108), and the process proceeds to step S106.

  By such processing, the parameters relating to the production of the production area in the same area where the crops of the same item and variety are produced can be exchanged between the communication devices 10.

  If the communication device 10 stores the identification information of the node 1 desired to be transmitted and the identifier of the communication device 10 of the node 1, the information may be transmitted as inquiry information in step S102. Good. When the communication device 10 of the node 1 in the production area B requests transmission of parameters relating to production in the node 1 in the production area A, the production area A is used as the request destination identifier in the memory 102 of the communication apparatus 10 in the production area B. The identifier of the communication device 10 is stored. The processor 100 of the communication device 10 in the production area B transmits the request destination identifier stored in the memory 102 as inquiry information. The processor 100 of the communication device 10 in the production area A determines that the attribute information matches in step S104 when the identifier received as the inquiry information indicates its own identifier, and the sensor received from the control device 11 Data is transmitted as response information to the communication device 10 in the production area B.

  Thereby, even when a communication failure occurs between the communication apparatus 10 and the information processing apparatus 2 such as when the information processing apparatus 2 is down as a server, it is possible to exchange parameters related to production between the communication apparatuses 10. In the information processing apparatus 2, a priority order based on the yield may be assigned to each node 1 for each item or product type, and distributed by route information or the like. Accordingly, it is possible to receive the sensor data of the node 1 having a high yield that should be prioritized when a failure occurs, in another node without storing the identifier of the desired communication device 10 in advance. .

And stored in the production information DB 3 (step S222). The processor 20 extracts account information of a producer who requests transmission of parameters relating to production in the node 1 that is the transmission source of the received parameters (step S223). The processor 20 further extracts an identifier for identifying the communication device 10 at the producer's production location stored in association with the extracted account information (step S224). Based on the extracted identifier, the processor 20 transmits the parameter received in step S221 toward the communication device 10 that requests transmission of the parameter (step S225).

  In the communication device 10 that is the parameter transmission request source, the processor 100 receives the parameter (step S121), and transmits the received parameter to the control device 11 (step S122).

  The control device 11 receives the parameter transmitted from the communication device 10 (step 123) and stores it as a target value (step S124). The control device 11 generates a control signal based on the difference between the measured value obtained from the sensor S group and the stored target value (step S125), transmits the generated control signal to the actuator M (step S126), and performs processing. finish.

  By such processing, for example, when a producer in the production area C desires parameters relating to the production of the item X of the variety x1 in the production area A, each time the room temperature of the cultivation facility is measured in the production area A, the temperature Is transmitted to the communication device 10 in the production area C. In the production area C, the operation of the actuator M group is controlled by the control device 11 with the room temperature of the cultivation facility in the production area A received by the communication device 10 as a target value. As a result, the same control as in the production area A is performed in the production area C, and the same crop as the production area A can be harvested.

  If transmission of optimum production information, that is, a parameter calculated based on the learning program 22P is desired, the desired items, varieties, and production locations are replaced with steps S221 to S225 in the flowchart of FIG. The optimum parameters stored for each region may be appropriately transmitted at a predetermined timing.
