JP, 2017-85915, A

However, in the configuration of the invention described in Patent Document 1, if the capturing user does not observe the live image (moving image) captured by the network camera in real time, the remote operation for capturing the harmful animal is performed from the user communication terminal. As a result of not being able to perform, it is necessary to go to the site where there is a capture facility for exterminating (stop killing) and feeding (feeding) the harmful animals captured while the capturing user is sleeping or during the daytime working on weekdays. If they are not sent, pests cannot be conveniently captured by the capturing user, and there is a problem that it is difficult to deal with the nocturnal wild animals that particularly swarm.

A message exchange unit that enables chat among the plurality of users,

A multi-screen that allows you to view videos of all traps taken by the network camera on the user communication terminal, a single screen that allows you to view videos of only traps selected from the multi-screen, and each trap taken by the network camera A display screen generation unit that generates a management screen of a preliminary information collection history that allows the recorded video of the unit, the feeding state, the reaction time of the intrusion detection sensor and the surrounding detection sensor, and the like to be viewed as preliminary information for capture,

An image processing unit for analyzing whether a moving image captured by the network camera of each trap is analyzed based on a predetermined program to determine whether the conditions for capturing a harmful animal are satisfied,

Detection output signals that satisfy the conditions for capturing harmful animals from the intrusion detection sensor and surrounding detection sensor of each trap are sent as e-mail to the capture user's communication terminal via the network communication device, communication network, and cloud server. When the capture user clicks one of the manual capture button and the automatic capture button on the multi screen of all traps or the single screen of the alternative trap, the capture command by that operation A signal is transmitted to the control device of the trap via the cloud server, and the control device controls the operation to release the opening/closing door trigger.

Similarly, if the capture user clicks the other automatic capture button on the multi-screen of all the traps or the single screen of the alternative trap in advance, the cloud server analyzes the video captured by the network camera and deletes the harmful animals. The determination result satisfying the capture condition of is transmitted as a capture command signal from the cloud server to the control device of the trap, and the control device is determined to operate to release the opening/closing door trigger. To do.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the trap condition for the pests is set such that the target number of pests to be captured is present inside the trap and no pests are present around the outside of the trap.

In claim 4, a moving image of a pest existing inside and outside the trap is captured from the network camera for monitoring the trap unit to the cloud server as preliminary information, and both the manual capture button and the automatic capture button are still clicked. In the meantime, even if the control device receives the detection output signal of the intrusion detection sensor and the surrounding detection sensor via the cloud server, the operation control is not performed to release the opening/closing door trigger, and the harmful animal is It is characterized in that it is designed to familiarize yourself with the reaction action of the detection sensor and the feeding condition.

According to the above configuration of claim 1, as a capture user, a live image (moving image) taken by the surveillance network camera can be viewed for all of the installed trap units, or for some of the selected trap units. While browsing in detail only, clicking on the manual capture button (capture operation) based on comprehensive situational judgment and the best timing makes it possible to capture pests easily and reliably.

Moreover, not only at night when the capture user does not observe the above-mentioned live image (video) in real time, but also the person concerned (the person in charge of exterminating the captured pests and the person in charge of the next feeding) is the trap unit. When the schedule is such that you cannot go to the installation site of the trap, click the special capture automatic capture button with the above manual capture button on the multi-screen of all traps or the single screen of the alternative trap (switch ON operation), the trap control device (micro controller) is operated based on the output signal that the intrusion detection sensor and the surrounding detection sensor of the trap unit detect the trap condition of the harmful animal during the operation in the automatic capture mode. Since the controller will control the opening/closing door trigger of the entrance/exit to open (the opening/closing door falls by its own weight), it is possible to catch even nocturnal wild animals without any trouble, which is extremely convenient for the catching user. In addition, it helps to improve the capture results.

Further, the above effect can be achieved almost equally by the configuration of claim 2. In other words, even in the configuration of claim 2, if the capture user clicks (switches on) the automatic capture button, the cloud server takes a live image captured by the network camera while operating in the automatic capture mode. When the image (moving image) is analyzed and it is determined that the conditions for capturing harmful animals are satisfied, this is so-called a capture command signal transmitted from the cloud server to the trap controller (microcontroller), and the controller enters and exits. This is because the opening/closing door trigger is to be released (the opening/closing door is dropped by its own weight).

In that case, if the configuration of claim 3 is adopted as the trap condition for the harmful animal, in any case, the harmful animal will be present inside the trap only when it is not present outside the area including the vicinity of the entrance and exit of the trap. Since it is designed to capture the target number of harmful animals, it learns that the harmful animals around the outside are dangerous substances in traps (capture equipment), and warns that they will never approach again, and eventually reduces capture efficiency. Can be prevented.

Further, if the configuration of claim 4 is adopted, the action (light) of the intrusion detection sensor for reacting the harmful animals invading the inside of the trap and the action of the periphery detection sensor for the harmful animals in the vicinity of the outside of the trap. It is possible to get accustomed to each (light) and secure the feeding condition that is effective for its capture, and it is also possible to collect preliminary information for efficient capture without giving caution to pests. There is also.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the cloud-type pest trapping system according to the present invention is generally plural in the same prefecture or the same municipality ( A plurality of (four in total in the figure) trap units (capture facilities) (T1) (T2) (T3) (T4) installed in the districts of the total of four places in the figure, and the plurality of trap units (T1) ) To (T4), a cloud server (S) of the capture support center connected to the communication network (Internet) (N), and a plurality of users (a total of four in the illustrated example) who capture harmful animals (A). User communication terminals (U1), (U2), (U3), and (U4) each possessed by the user communication terminal (U1) to () connected to the cloud server (S) via the communication network (N). The service provided by the cloud server (S) can be shared by accessing from U4).

Of the main components described above, first, each trap unit (T1) to (T4), which is a facility for capturing harmful substances, is a trap (Figs. 2 to 4 suitable for swarming wild deer and wild boars). As an enclosure trap (10), it is equipped with one doorway (11) and a self-weight falling open/close door (13) that can be raised and lowered along its tall elevating guide columns (door opening frame) (12). The capture user (A) drops the open/close door (13) by operating the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4) to instantly close the entrance/exit (11) of the trap (10), and many Deer, boars and other harmful animals can now be caught.

(14) is a strong pillar standing upright in the vicinity of the entrance (11) of the trap (10), a solar panel (15) at its uppermost end, and a pest monitoring network at its upper end. The control box (17) is attached and fixed to the camera (16) and the mid-height position. The battery (18) installed in the control box (17) can be charged by natural (sun) energy from the solar panel (15).

The control box (17) can be opened and closed, and a control device (microcontroller) (20) for activating a trigger (19) as shown in FIG. 5 is installed inside the control box (17). Reference numeral (21) is an intrusion detection sensor for detecting the presence of a harmful animal inside the trap (10), which is a pyroelectric infrared sensor or reflection for detecting the movement of the harmful animal (change in heat dose received). Type photoelectric switch (photo sensor) or the like, and as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, near the entrance (11) of the trap (10), preferably via a stand (22) with adjustable height. It has been installed. By this, the pests that enter the inside of the trap (10) from the entrance (11) are detected, and the number of the pests is counted. If you exit after entering, you will subtract.

In that case, since the pests differ in size depending on the type (for example, deer or boar), the intrusion detection sensor (21) is a pair of front and rear with respect to the entrance (11) of the trap (10), and the adjacent space (D). It is desirable to install them in parallel so that they can be adjusted.

Further, (23) is a peripheral detection sensor for detecting the presence or absence of a pest in the outer periphery including the vicinity of the entrance (11) of the trap (10), and is the same pyroelectric infrared ray as the intrusion detection sensor (21). It is embodied by sensors, ultrasonic sensors, etc., and a plurality of them are installed in parallel on the wall surface of the trap (10) as shown in FIG. 2 and whether there is a pest outside the outside of the trap (10). , Detect the presence of the individual.

However, when the intrusion detection sensor (21) detects the presence of a pest inside the trap (10), the control device (microcontroller) (20) causes the surroundings detection sensor (23) based on the detection output signal. When the surrounding detection sensor (23) detects that no harmful animal is present, the control device (20) also determines that the condition for capturing a harmful animal described below is satisfied and the control device (20) also outputs the signal. The opening/closing door (13) of the trap (10) is allowed to drop by its own weight, and the operation of the door (11) is controlled to be closed.

In other words, even if the target number of pests to be captured has entered the inside of the trap (10), there are still some pest companions near the doorway (11) of the trap (10) and other outside areas. When parents and children are present, the open/close door (13) of the entrance/exit (11) is not dropped until it disappears, and by waiting in the open state, pests around the outside The trap (10) is vigilant to prevent it from approaching again, and the trapping efficiency can be improved.

Further, (24) is a door-hanging rope made of a wire or rope of a certain length, one end of which is attached to the opening/closing door (13) of the entrance (11) of the trap (10). At the other end, iron, nickel, ferrite, or another magnetic substance (25) is attached. Reference numeral (26) is an electromagnetic holder for removably adsorbing the magnetic material (25), which is fixedly supported by the support column (14) or the control box (17) at a midway position thereof, and includes a battery. Power is supplied from (18) through a control device (microcontroller) (20).

The trigger (19) for actuating the opening/closing door (13) from the doorway (11) of the trap (10) to the open door state raised and the door closed state lowered is a magnetic material of the door suspension rope (24). (25) and its electromagnetic holder (26), and the electromagnetic holder (26) that generates a magnetic force in the unpowered state attracts the magnetic body (25), thereby The opening/closing door (13) of the entrance/exit (11) is temporarily held in the opened door state as shown in FIGS.

Then, when power is supplied to the electromagnetic holder (26) of the trigger (19), the holder (26) does not generate magnetic force and the attraction force of the magnetic body (25) is released. 13) falls by its own weight, and the entrance (11) of the trap (10) is closed as shown in FIG.

Further, the network camera (16) for monitoring the pest has an image sensor (high resolution CCD/CMOS) capable of color-imaging a live image (moving image) and photoelectrically converting the image, and preferably the web camera. As a network camera having a server function (for example, an infrared camera or a night-vision camera that can be photographed in the dark), a certain range can be photographed inside the trap (10) and outside the trap (10) including the vicinity of the entrance (11). It is oriented.

In that case, instead of specially installing a pest intrusion detection sensor (21) for the trap (10), the pests can be detected using the image change (motion) detection function of the network camera (16). It may be detected that the trap (10) has entered the inside.

In any case, live images of the pests and their traps (10) taken in real time by the network camera (16), live images of the feeding (feeding) state, etc. are used as monitoring data (e-mail) and the traps are used. The network communication device (27) of each of the units (T1) to (T4) transmits the data to the cloud server (S) of the capture support center via the communication network (Internet) (N).

In the illustrated embodiment, as the trap (10) of each of the trap units (T1) to (T4), a large enclosure trap without a roof, a ceiling surface or a floor surface is described, but a plurality of pests can be placed inside the trap. As long as the equipment can capture all at once at the same time, not only the above-mentioned trap, but also a large box trap (cage), net trap (drop net), diving trap, and various other equipment can be adopted.

Next, the cloud server (S) of the capture support center is provided by a service provider as a so-called cloud computing service/cloud service providing device, and is prepared on the cloud server (S) side. The user can use the resources provided by the user to process and manage the data without the user having their own hardware or software, and the construction cost and operation/maintenance cost of the harmful animal trapping system can be achieved. It has the advantage of being able to significantly reduce

Also, it is possible to easily provide and refer to various kinds of web contents, and moreover, a plurality of captured users (A) who access the cloud server (S) form a community, and the users (A) of the community can communicate with each other. It is also possible to exchange messages (chat) and share web contents and other information.

The cloud server (S) acquires live images (moving images) taken by the network cameras (16) in the trap units (T1) to (T4) in a plurality of districts as monitoring data and provides them to the capture user (A). The cloud server (S) in the illustrated embodiment is a server group that provides services, and includes a web server (28) and a mail server (29) that are organically combined.

As is well known, the web server (28) and the mail server (29) are CPU (central processing unit)/control unit, internal memory or/and external memory/storage unit such as HDD and database, input/output unit/communication interface. Needless to say, it is a computer in which parts and the like are appropriately combined, and an OS (operating system) and software necessary for each role are installed.

The web server (28) of the cloud server (S) is a user management unit (30) as shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 6, a display screen generation unit (31), and message exchange for exchanging messages such as meetings and chats. It has a section (32) and an image processing section (33).

The user management unit (30) authenticates the captured user (A) and manages various information (login information) related to the user (A), and registers (stores) the various information in an internal memory or an external memory or a database (34). Each time the capture user (A) receives access by inputting a user ID or password, it is authenticated whether or not the capture user (A) is the normal capture user (A).

The display screen generation unit (31) has a login screen (35) as shown in FIG. 7, a menu screen (36) as shown in FIG. 8, a preliminary information collection history management screen (37) as shown in FIG. 9, and other capture screens. A display screen browsed by the user (A) is generated/edited and transmitted to the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4).

The preliminary information collection history management screen (37) displays the following information stored and saved as past preliminary information collection history in a viewable manner on one screen, and by referring to this information, the capture user (A) can It is possible to grasp the number of pests in each area and the number of infested animals over time, which is useful for efficiently catching pests.

As information preliminarily collected for the capture, recorded video images taken over time of each of the trap units (T1) to (T4) and the intrusion detection sensor (displayed by the time bar (38) ( 21) Generated by the web server (28) from the reaction time of the surrounding detection sensor (23), the content of the chat history in which the captured users (A) exchanged messages with each other, and the number of heads detected by the sensors (21) and (23). The graph of the transition of harmful animals over time (39) can be given.

By moving the cursor outside the figure to the reaction time of the time bar (38), the situation of the pest inside and outside the trap (10) at that time can be known in detail, and the pest transition graph (39) is shown in FIG. If it is generated as a bar graph like this, it becomes easy to grasp the number of pests that appear in and out of the trap (10) in each area over time, which is useful for situation determination.

The message exchange unit (32) receives the chat message transmitted from the capture user (A) and transmits the message only to the pre-registered capture user (A). The capture users (A) forming the community can exchange opinions with each other to determine the best capture timing of harmful animals. Such exchange of opinions will be saved and accumulated in the internal memory or the external memory (database) as a preliminary information collection history useful for the future.

In addition, as a user (A) of catching harmful animals, in practice, such as the agricultural and forestry section of the local government, the animal damage control section, etc., specialists such as capture contractors and NPO corporations from that group are suitable, and It is preferable to select personnel who are familiar with the information (situation).

Furthermore, the image processing unit (33) converts a live image (moving image) as monitoring data acquired by the network camera (16) of each trap (10) in the trap units (T1) to (T4) into a predetermined program. Based on the analysis, it will be necessary to confirm/determine what kind of pests are present inside the trap (10) and outside including the vicinity of the entrance (11), their number, parent and child, Determine if the capture conditions are met.

Here, the capture condition means that there is a harmful animal to be captured inside the trap (10), and at that time, there is no harmful animal outside including the vicinity of the entrance (11). The condition is the same as that of (21) and the peripheral detection sensor (23) to generate a detection output signal.

On the other hand, as the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4), the cloud server (S) and the trap unit are connected via personal computers (PC), tablet terminals, mobiles such as smartphones and mobile phones, and other communication networks (N). A device that can communicate with (T1) to (T4) is sufficient, and a central control unit (40) such as a CPU and a network communication unit (41) as shown in FIG. 10, an operation input unit (42) such as a touch panel, a keyboard, and a mouse. ), and an output unit (display unit) (43) for a live image captured by the network camera (16). The personal computer terminal may be equipped with a printer capable of printing the above monitoring data, a scanner capable of capturing the monitoring data as well, and the like.

FIG. 11 is an operation sequence diagram of the above-mentioned preliminary information collection and manual capture mode. In collecting preliminary information for efficiently capturing harmful animals, the monitoring network in each trap unit (T1) to (T4) is used. From the camera (16) to the web server (28) of the cloud server (S), live images (moving images) of the trap (10), harmful animals inside and outside the trap (10), feeding conditions, etc. are constantly monitored data. The live image (moving image) that is being delivered and is intensively received by the web server (28) is stored and saved in the web server (28) as a recorded image.

In other words, not only during the day when the capturing user (A) is working, but also at night when the harmful animal appears/disappears/at night when the capturing user (A) is sleeping, the trap (10) and the harmful animals inside and outside the trap (10), Photographs of the feeding state etc. are being taken, live images (moving images) are acquired, and in the process, the invasion detection sensor (21) and peripheral detection sensor (23) of the harmful animal may react, The reaction time and the like are also acquired, and all are stored and stored in the web server (28) as monitoring data (preliminary information).

Therefore, the capture user (A) uses his or her own user communication terminals (U1) to (U4) in the daytime of the next day to input login information from the login screen (35) displayed as shown in FIG. Access the web server (28) of the server (S).

Then, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12, the user management unit (30) of the web server (28) logs in based on the user ID and password from the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4). Authenticate whether the user is a captured user (A) of the pest capture system.

When the authentication is normally performed, the capture user menu (U) to the communication terminals (U1) to (U4) display the menu screen (36) of the capture system as shown in FIG. The user selects and browses from a certain list, but first, by clicking the "management screen for preliminary information collection history" on the menu screen (36), the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4) shown in FIG. Even if the intrusion detection sensor (21) or the peripheral detection sensor (23) responds while browsing the management screen (37) of the preliminary information collection history as described above, the pests invading the trap (10) Instead of catching the birds, try to gather the preliminary information while clearing the precautions of the pests.

That is, during collection of the preliminary information, not only the automatic capture button described later but also the manual capture button is not clicked (capture operation), and the harmful animal invading the trap (10) becomes accustomed to the reaction action of the intrusion detection sensor (21). At the same time, the pests around the outside of the entrance/exit (11) are made accustomed to the reaction action of the surrounding detection sensor (23) to secure a feeding state effective for catching, and during that time, inside the trap (10). The number of IN heads detected by the intrusion detection sensor (21) of the existing pests and the OUT number of heads detected by the peripheral detection sensor (23) of the pests existing outside the trap (10) are the same as those of the web server (28). The display screen generation unit (31) is adapted to generate a time series pest animal transition graph (38) as shown in FIG.

Therefore, as a capture user (A), the recorded video is browsed, and from the harmful animal transition graph (39) on the management screen (37) of the preliminary information collection history, each trap unit (T1) to (T4) It is possible to determine the number and time of pests that appear and disappear, and other special situations, and it is also useful to prevent waste of operating time in the pest capture system.

Next, the operation of the harmful animal trapping system will be described with reference to FIGS.

In each of the trap units (T1) to (T4) constituting the capture system, the inside and outside of the trap (10) is photographed by the monitoring network camera (16), and the photographed live image ( A moving image is transmitted as monitoring data from the network communication device (27) to the online web server (28) of the cloud server (S) in the capture support center via the Internet (N).

That is, all the monitoring data acquired from the plurality of trap units (T1) to (T4) installed in each district such as within the same local government are concentrated on the web server (28) of the cloud server (S). It has been received (acquired) and is ready for viewing (monitoring) by the capture user (A). The live image (moving image) is stored/saved in the internal memory or the external memory (database) of the web server (28) and serves as recorded image which is preliminary information useful for future capture.

Therefore, when the capture user (A) starts the work of capturing the harmful animal, the login screen (FIG. 7) displayed using the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4) owned by each user. The login information is input from 35) to access the web server (28) of the cloud server (S).

Then, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12, the user management unit (30) of the web server (28) logs in the user who has logged in based on the user ID and password from the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4). Is a normal capture user (A) in the capture system.

Then, when the user authentication is performed, the capture user (A) communication terminals (U1) to (U4) display a menu screen (36) of the capture system as shown in FIG. You can select from the list and browse.

When selecting and clicking "Multi screen of all traps" from the button group arranged on the menu screen (36), the multi screen (44) of all traps as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the user communication terminals (U1) to (U4).

It is possible to know the number and time of the harmful animals present and the feeding condition.

Any of the capture users (A) can click the "multi trap screen for all traps" and the "single screen for alternative traps" on the menu screen (36) to select the multi screen for all traps (44) and the alternative traps. You can browse all the trap units (T1) to (T4) and the live images (videos) of the trap units (T1) to (T4) in any one district from the single screen (45) of Although it is possible to participate in the exchange of opinions, it is particularly preferable for the capture user (A) to start by viewing the monitoring data of all the trap units (T1) to (T4) as a whole.

The capture user (A) who manages the plurality of trap units (T1) to (T4) uses the plurality of trap units (T1) to (T4) managed by himself from the multi screen (44) of all traps. ) Will be viewed live images (video).

In any case, as is apparent from the operation sequence of FIG. 11 showing the manual capture mode and the flowchart of FIG. 15, the intrusion detection sensor (21) and the peripheral detection sensor (23) of the trap units (T1) to (T4) are detected. ), the output signal that detects the presence of a pest invading the inside of the trap (10) and the absence of the pest in the outside including the vicinity of the entrance/exit (11) is used as an e-mail (intrusion mail) and the network. When it is transmitted to the communication terminal (U1) possessed by the capture user (A) via the communication device (27), the communication network (Internet) (N) and the mail server (29) of the cloud server (S), A live image (moving image) being taken by the monitoring network camera (16) of the corresponding trap unit (T1) to (T4) is clicked by clicking "single trap single screen" on the menu screen (36). Alternative While visually observing the trap's single screen (45), it is visually observed whether or not the target number of the harmful animals to be captured has been reached, and if so, the alternative is taken to capture this. Click (capture operation) the "manual capture" button (46) of the "manual capture" button (46) and the "automatic capture" button (47) installed in parallel on the trap single screen (45). ..

Since such a "manual capture" button (46) and an "automatic capture" button (47) are also installed on the multi-screen (44) of all traps as shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of trap units (T1 As the capture user (A) who manages () to (T4), it is also possible to click (capture operation) the “manual capture” button (46) on the multi-screen (44) of all the traps.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the signal for instructing to capture the harmful animal by clicking (capturing operation) of the "manual capture" button (46) is transmitted from the communication terminal (U1) of the capture user (A) to the communication network ( N) and the web server (28) of the cloud server (S) and the network communication device (27) of the corresponding trap unit (T1) to (T4), and the control device of the trap unit (T1) to (T4). (Microcontroller) (20), the control device (20) operates the opening/closing door trigger (19) of the trap (10) to the door closed state (release/self-weight drop), A target number of harmful animals can be captured inside.

Then, if a harmful animal is captured, the mail server (29) of the cloud server (S) sends an email to the communication terminal (U1) of the capture user (A) to confirm that the capture was confirmed. If user (A) requests the person in charge of extermination (stop) to stop the pests captured, or the person in charge of feeding (feed) asks the person in charge to prepare for the next capture (feeding). good.

During operation of the manual capture mode as shown in FIGS. 11 and 15, a live image (moving image) being captured by the monitoring network camera (16) of the trap units (T1) to (T4) is captured by the capture user (A). While browsing on the communication terminals (U1) to (U4), click (manipulate) the "manual capture" button (46) based on the overall situation judgment when the invading mail of the pest is received. , It is designed to remotely control the capture of harmful animals, so that the capturing user (A) can control the extermination (stopping) and feeding of the captured harmful animals on the nighttime while sleeping, or even during the daytime on weekdays. If it is not possible to go to the site where the trap (10) is installed for feeding, it is not possible to efficiently capture a large amount of nocturnal pests.

As a countermeasure, the cloud-type pest trapping system according to the present invention can also be operated in the automatic trapping mode as shown in FIG. 16, and the multi-screen (44) of all the traps and the single trap of the alternative trap. By clicking (switching on) the "automatic capture" button (47) on the screen (45), the automatic capture mode can be used even at night when the capture user (A) is asleep, or by himself or the related person ( Pests can always be efficiently and abundantly captured in large amounts even during the daytime on weekdays when schedules are not convenient for exterminators and feeding staff.

That is, when operating the automatic capture mode of the harmful animal capture system to capture the harmful animal, the recorded image and the harmful animal transition graph (39) on the management screen (37) of the preliminary information collection history of FIG. Based on the number of infested animals, time, and feeding conditions, and other preliminary information collected for each area, the appropriate target capture number (for example, 5 required for game) and automatic capture The time zone (for example, 22:00 to 5:00) and the like may be set and input, and the “automatic capture” button (47) may be clicked (switch-on operation).

Then, as is apparent from the operation sequence of FIG. 16 and the flowchart of FIG. 17, the trap (10) is detected from the intrusion detection sensor (21) and the peripheral detection sensor (23) of the trap units (T1) to (T4). There is at least the target number of harmful animals invading (existing) inside, and at that time, the detection output signal satisfying the capturing condition that no harmful animals are present outside the entrance (11), When transmitted to the web server (28) of the cloud server (S) via the network communicator (27) and the communication network (Internet) (N), the trap unit (T1) corresponding to the trap unit (T1) is sent from the web server (28). )-(T4) control device (micro controller) (20) transmits the operation control signal of the opening/closing door trigger (19), and the trigger (19) drops the opening/closing door (13) of the doorway (11) by its own weight. Then, the target number of pests can be captured inside the trap (10).

Then, if captured, the mail server (29) of the cloud server (S) also sends a message to that effect to the communication terminal (U1) of the captured user (A), so the user (A) will wake up the next day. During a convenient day of squeeze juice and squeeze juice, request the person in charge of exterminating (stop killing) the captured pests to stop killing, and give the person in charge of feeding (feeding) the preparation for the next capture (feeding) You can request it.

Further, FIG. 18 shows a modified embodiment of the operation sequence diagram corresponding to FIG. 16, and in the automatic capture mode of FIG. 16, the trap unit (T1) is used as a determination factor as to whether or not the conditions for capturing harmful animals have been satisfied. The detection output signals of the intrusion detection sensor (21) installed in each of the traps (10) to (T4) and the peripheral detection sensor (23) activated based on this are used, but the modified embodiment of FIG. In the automatic capture mode of the harmful animal shown in (4), the web server (28) of the cloud server (S) is used as a determination element of whether or not the capture condition is satisfied, instead of the detection output signal of the sensor (21) (23). The image analysis processing to be performed is used.

That is, the interim web server (28) of the cloud server (S) includes the image processing unit (33) shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 6, and each trap (10) in the trap units (T1) to (T4). ) The live image (moving image) as the monitoring data acquired by the network camera (16) is analyzed based on a predetermined program, and there is a target number of pests to be captured inside the trap (10). Whether or not there is a harmful animal around the outside of the trap (10) when it is present is recognized and discriminated.

Then, as a result of the image processing, if the target number of harmful animals to be captured exists inside the trap (10), and at the same time, there is no harmful animal around the outside including the entrance (11) of the trap (10). If determined, this is transmitted as a capture command signal from the web server (28) of the cloud server (S) to the control device (microcontroller) (20) of the trap (10), and the control device (10) is transmitted. The opening/closing door trigger (19) is operated to be released (the opening/closing door is dropped by its own weight), and the target number of harmful animals can be captured. Other operations are substantially the same as those of the automatic capture mode shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When operating the manual capture mode or the automatic capture mode to capture a pest, the multi-screen (44) at the top and the single screen (45) of the alternative trap are displayed. , Operating hours of the trap units (T1) to (T4), which are capture facilities in each area, and the cloud server (S) connected to them via the communication network (Internet) (N) (for example, 23:00). Up to 5:00) and daily/daily schedules can be set.

Therefore, for example, at a fixed time every day, you can click the automatic capture button (47) (switch on operation) to operate the automatic capture mode, or you can go to the extermination (stop) process only on early morning on Sunday. At times, it is possible to set up a schedule to automatically capture only at night on the previous day (Saturday), which is convenient for use and helps save power.
