Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for providing advice related to the cultivation of animals and plants and supporting the cultivation of animals and plants.

  It is said that raising plants and animals has the effect of relieving human stress and obtaining healing. In addition, it is known that animal and plant breeding is also effective for emotional education for young children. In kindergartens and elementary schools, cultivation of potted plants and breeding of small animals such as goldfish, rabbits and chickens It is actively done.

  In addition, the demand for food safety is increasing due to the recent problem of food disguise, and examples of growing organic vegetables with no pesticides in gardens and planters (home gardens) are increasing. Thus, when an individual cultivates vegetables at home, the “green curtain” has the effect of lowering the room temperature and suppressing food mileage, and the kitchen garden can contribute to ecology. Furthermore, the attention to “Metabolic Syndrome” has attracted attention to improve eating habits, and the popularity of healthy menus that eat a lot of vegetables has also increased the popularity of home gardens. It is over.

  When animals and plants are cultivated, it is necessary to prepare living bodies and tools for nurturing, etc., and it is important to obtain a minimum level of knowledge about the nurturing in advance. Such knowledge can generally be obtained by asking a clerk of the store where the tool was purchased or reading a specialized book.

  However, such knowledge is just a general theory and is not knowledge that reflects the individual environment in which the living body is actually raised. For example, when growing a plant, even if it was learned that "every day watering is necessary", it rained whether "every day watering is necessary" even in a poorly drained and humid environment The knowledge of whether a day is unnecessary or how much rainfall is unnecessary is something that must be nurtured by each person. Also, the effect is often ambiguous. For example, if you neglect even if you neglect for a day, whether it is not so serious, or even if you do not need watering to grow large without dying, you get sweet fruits with high sugar content Sometimes it is important not to give water to the limit as long as it does not wither.

  Therefore, techniques for collecting information reflecting the cultivation environment and utilizing it for actual cultivation have been proposed. Such a technique is described in Patent Document 1, for example. Patent Document 1 describes a plant growth guide system configured to transmit environmental data observed by a plant environment measurement device to a plant growth management device and obtain a growth guide necessary for the growth.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<1. Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a training support system 1 according to the present invention. The breeding support system 1 includes a server system 10 and a large number of user systems 11, and is configured as a system that supports the growth of various animals and plants (living bodies).

  In the following explanation, an example of mainly supporting the growth of “plants” as “living bodies” will be described. However, the growth support system 1 is not limited to plants but is also widely used for the growth of animals and insects. Can be applied. Further, a person who uses the training support system 1 is simply referred to as “user”. The user is mainly assumed to be an individual who grows animals and plants for non-profit purposes, but there is no problem even if a farmer, a breeder, or the like who grows animals for profit purposes becomes a user of the breeding support system 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the server system 10 and each user system 11 are both connected to the network 9 in a state where data communication is possible. Therefore, at least each user system 11 can perform data communication with the server system 10. The user system 11 may be capable of data communication with the other user system 11 via the network 9.

  As such a wide-area network 9, for example, the Internet can be assumed, but it is not limited to this. Further, the network 9 may be configured by connecting networks of various forms and systems. Further, the connection form of the server system 10 and each user system 11 to the network 9 is not limited to “wired”, but may be “wireless”, and is not limited to always-on connection. Furthermore, data communication is not limited to electrical signals, and may be optical signals or the like.

  The server system 10 is a system that is assumed to be installed in a company that provides the training support system 1 or a company that supports the training support system 1. That is, the server system 10 has a function as a system on the side of providing a support service related to the growth of the living body in the growth support system 1.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the server system 10 is configured by four server devices 2, 3, 4, and 5 installed at different locations. Each of the server devices 2, 3, 4, and 5 is configured by a general computer. The server devices 2, 3, 4, and 5 that constitute the server system 10 are merely examples, and the number of devices (computers) that constitute the server system 10 is not limited to this.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the server device 2. The server device 2 is assumed to be installed in, for example, a software house (FIG. 1) that provides a program for the user system 11 or a site management company that receives a request for the software house. However, the entity that provides and operates the server device 2 is not limited to such a company. Further, the server device 2 may be personally installed by the user as an original community.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the server device 2 includes a CPU 20 that performs various data calculations and controls each component of the server device 2. Further, the server device 2 includes a RAM 21, a ROM 22, and a hard disk 23 as storage devices that appropriately store various data as necessary. Further, the server device 2 includes an operation unit 27 that is operated by an operator to input instructions and information to the server device 2, a display unit 28 that displays various data and states for the operator, and the server device 2. And a communication unit 29 connected to the network 9 in a state where data communication is possible. As a result, the server device 2 has a configuration and a function as a computer capable of performing data communication via the network 9 as described above.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a user DB 230, a server DB 231, and a breeding recipe DB 232 are constructed in the hard disk 23 that can store a relatively large amount of information in the server device 2 for a long time. These databases may be realized by independent computers that constitute each database, and may be connected by a local LAN or the like so that data communication with the server device 2 is possible.

  In the user DB 230, a record is provided for each user who uses the training support system 1. The information included in each record constituting the user DB 230 is information unique to the user in addition to the user ID, and includes, for example, a user name, an address, a network address, a breeding environment, information on repellent food, and a breeding recipe ID. (Information for identifying the breeding recipe information 8 created by the user), information such as the user's breeding level. The training environment stored in the user DB 230 is a type of a simple training place such as a veranda, a field, or a room.

  The server DB 231 is a database that stores information related to the other server devices 3, 4, and 5 constituting the server system 10. The server DB 231 includes one record for each of the server devices 3, 4, 5, and information about the addresses on the network 9 of these server devices 3, 4, 5, services handled, etc. (product) ID, service ID, etc.) are stored.

  The breeding recipe DB 232 is created based on reference recipe information (information indicating a standard breeding method) serving as a model for breeding for each living body and information obtained from the user system 11 (user information 611: FIG. 3). It is a database for storing recipe information 8. The breeding recipe information 8 stored in the breeding recipe DB 232 is given a unique breeding recipe ID so as to be individually identifiable. In addition, the breeding recipe information 8 registered in the breeding recipe DB 232 has a distinction between public / partial / non-public, etc., and browsing / downloading by a user other than the grower may be restricted. .

  The breeding recipe information 8 includes a living body ID indicating a growing object and a system ID that identifies the user system 11 assigned to the living body (for example, a network address: one user may have a plurality of user systems 11). , And a user ID indicating the grower of the living body is stored. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the breeding recipe information 8 includes breeding environment information 80, event information 81, and result information 82. The breeding recipe information 8 composed of these pieces of information is configured as information representing the status of biological growth.

  When a plurality of trainings are performed in parallel in the user system 11 composed of a plurality of sensor modules 7 (FIG. 4), a sensor ID for identifying each sensor module 7 is added to the system ID. Good. Furthermore, when a plurality of times of breeding is performed in the same user system 11, it is only necessary to identify the system ID by adding an auxiliary ID in chronological order.

  The environment information 80 included in the breeding recipe information 8 is information representing the living environment of the living body, and is mainly information (sensing data) measured by the sensor module 7. In the breeding recipe information 8, environmental information 80 from the time when the growth of the living body is started to the present (or the past time when the growth is finished) is stored as a history. In other words, the environment information 80 records what environment the living body was in during the breeding period.

  However, in the training support system 1 in the present embodiment, the user can also input the environment information 80 by operating the user system 11. For example, “temperature” when the sensor module 7 includes a thermometer is obtained as sensing data, but may be input by the user when the sensor module 7 does not include a thermometer.

  The event information 81 is information that represents an event that affects the growth of animals and plants, and is information that records what occurred during the growth of the animals and plants. Events include, for example, the type of weather being nurtured, the type of work performed by the user (watering, topdressing, thinning, harvesting, walking, training, feeding, water change, etc.), the type of animal and plant status (germination, flowering, disease, Breeding, etc.), item type (various tools used for breeding, fertilizer, chemicals, bait type, etc.).

  The event information 81 in the present embodiment is information for classifying and storing information that is difficult to be specified only by the environment information 80. In other words, the event information 81 is information that is relatively difficult to be automatically detected by the sensor module 7.

  For example, even if an increase in the amount of moisture in the soil is recorded in the environmental information 80, it is possible to specify whether the increase in the amount of moisture is due to “rainfall” or “watering” using only that information. Usually difficult. The growth support system 1 can record that the increase in the moisture content of the soil is due to “watering” by recording the event information 81, and more specific analysis can be performed later.

  The result information 82 is information representing the result of breeding the actually grown animals and plants. The result information 82 includes harvest amount, breeding number, quality, breeding period, appreciation period, cost, evaluation value, etc., but is not limited to these, and the contents of the result information 82 are targeted for breeding. It may differ depending on the type of animals and plants that are present.

  For convenience of illustration, in FIG. 2, the program 220 executed by the CPU 20 is shown in a state where all of the programs 220 are stored in the ROM 22. However, a part of the program 220 executed by the CPU 20 may be stored in the hard disk 23 or may be read and executed as appropriate from a removable storage medium such as a CD-ROM.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating functional blocks of the server apparatus 2 together with a data flow. The evaluation recording unit 200, the weather unit 201, the menu proposal unit 202, the extraction unit 203, the product proposal unit 204, and the cultivation advice unit 205 illustrated in FIG. 3 are functions realized by the CPU 20 of the server device 2 operating according to the program 220. It is a block.

  User information 611 shown in FIG. 3 is information that is created in the user system 11 and received by the communication unit 29 via the network 9.

  The user information 611 includes at least a system ID indicating the user system 11 that has transmitted the user information 611. Therefore, the server device 2 can specify the sender (user) of the user information 611 by searching the user DB 230 using the system ID as a search key. Further, by searching the breeding recipe DB 232 using the system ID (including the sensor ID and auxiliary ID) as a search key, the breeding recipe information 8 corresponding to individual breeding in the user system 11 can be specified.

  Thus, the server device 2 can determine “who” and “about which breeding” the user information 611 has been transmitted. As described above, the breeding recipe information 8 is information representing the state of breeding from the past to the present (or the past point in time when the breeding is finished). Therefore, the server apparatus 2 can acquire information representing the current breeding status from the breeding recipe information 8 by receiving the user information 611 regarding the current breeding and specifying the corresponding breeding recipe information 8. It is said that.

  In the user DB 230 or the breeding recipe DB 232, for example, if there is no corresponding record, it can be seen that the user information 611 is new registration related to those records.

  In addition to this, the user information 611 includes various types of information depending on the situation, and details will be described as needed.

  The evaluation recording unit 200 has a function of updating the user DB 230 and the breeding recipe DB 232 based on the user information 611.

  There are various updates to the user DB 230. For example, a record is added when a new user participates in the training support system 1, a record is deleted due to withdrawal, a registered user's address is changed, and the training environment. Or the addition of a breeding recipe ID when a registered user starts a new breeding, the addition or deletion of a system ID due to the construction of a new user system 11, and the update of the last login date and time. The update items for the breeding recipe DB 232 include, for example, addition / update of newly obtained environment information 80, event information 81, and result information 82 for each registered breeding recipe information 8. These pieces of information are mainly transmitted to the evaluation recording unit 200 by the user information 611, but may be input by operating the operation unit 27.

  Further, the evaluation recording unit 200 evaluates the breeding recipe information 8 stored in the breeding recipe DB 232 according to a reference value (not shown) or an external evaluation standard (for example, a vote result from another user). (Including re-evaluation), and has a function of storing a value indicating the evaluation in the result information 82 of the breeding recipe information 8.

  In addition, the evaluation regarding the breeding recipe information 8 is regularly updated as an evaluation up to that point not only when the breeding is finished but also while the breeding is continued. That is, regarding the ongoing training, the current status of the training is also evaluated and recorded by the evaluation recording unit 200. Hereinafter, the evaluation performed based on the results of the cultivation after completion of the cultivation (yield, quality, breeding period, cost, voting results, etc.) is referred to as “result assessment”, The evaluation is referred to as “provisional evaluation”. In other words, both “result evaluation” and “provisional evaluation” are included in the breeding recipe information 8 as result information 82.

  Further, the evaluation recording unit 200 acquires the breeding recipe information 8 specified by the breeding recipe ID from the breeding recipe DB 232 according to the breeding recipe ID transmitted from the extraction unit 203, and the growing period in the breeding recipe information 8 Perform evaluation at any time.

  For example, with respect to the breeding recipe information 8 (the final evaluation is stored in the result information 82) that has already been harvested and has been grown, the growth status at the time of germination is evaluated, or the breeding at the time of flowering. Or evaluate the situation. For example, the evaluation of the state of growth at the time of germination can be obtained by evaluating the growth recipe information 8 based on the information obtained until the time of germination. Hereinafter, the evaluation at a certain point in time during the training period of the breeding recipe information 8 for which the result evaluation has already been obtained (hereinafter referred to as “comparison point”) will be referred to as “comparison evaluation”. The “comparison evaluation” is obtained when the breeding recipe ID and the corresponding comparison point are transmitted from the extraction unit 203 and transmitted to the extraction unit 203. In this embodiment, “comparison evaluation” is the result. The information 82 is not included in the breeding recipe information 8.

  Here, a description will be given of a method in which the evaluation recording unit 200 evaluates the growth status during the growth or after the completion of the growth. That is, a method for obtaining “provisional evaluation” and “comparative evaluation” will be described.

  First, the breeding recipe information 8 that has already been grown and has been evaluated by the evaluation recording unit 200 is extracted. The extraction of the breeding recipe information 8 at this time is extracted after narrowing down to those approximated to the comparison (cultivation to be supported). That is, after filtering by “biological type”, “state”, “region”, “region”, “location”, etc., the breeding recipe information 8 from which the result evaluation is obtained is extracted.

  Next, from the information included in the extracted breeding recipe information 8, feature quantities (mainly environment information 80) representing the growing environment and biological state information (mainly event information 81) are extracted, and a combination of both is extracted. Is weighted, and the correlation between the result evaluation and the information indicating the status of the training in which the result evaluation is obtained is obtained. Such a correlation can be obtained, for example, by a learning process using a learning device.

  In addition, as a feature-value showing growing environment, a soil moisture value, a temperature value, a soil temperature value, a sunshine value etc. can be considered, for example. In order to make these values comparable, it is also effective to normalize information for a predetermined period (for example, one day). For example, soil moisture values, temperature values, soil temperature values, etc. are converted into hourly average values and hourly variance values, and sunshine values are averaged of daily integration and dispersion of daily integration. Convert to a value.

  In this way, if a correlation (calculation formula) between the result evaluation and the information indicating the status of the development is obtained, the correlation is used to determine the status of the training in the middle of the training or after the completion of the training. Evaluation values (provisional evaluation and comparative evaluation) during the growth can be obtained.

  Further, similarly to the result evaluation value, the evaluation recording unit 200 determines the level related to the training of the user (the user registered in the user DB 230), and the training level (evaluation) stored in the user's record in the user DB 230. Value). Since the training level of the user is displayed and announced in various scenes in the training support system 1, the user is provided with an incentive to improve his / her training level.

  The breeding level may be evaluated comprehensively, for example, “Farmer level 2”, or for each type of living body such as “Tomato level 3, eggplant level 1,..., Corn level 0”. It may be evaluated or these may be used in combination. In addition, the results may be evaluated comprehensively for a plurality of times of growth, may be evaluated based on the results of the latest growth, or may be evaluated by weighting according to a time series.

  The meteorological unit 201 obtains weather information (weather forecast or weather record) for each region from the weather forecast center (server device 4), extracts an event that affects the living body, and uses this as weather alert information 211 as a user system. 11 has a function of controlling the communication unit 29 so as to transmit to the terminal 11. Thus, the worst situation in the breeding can be avoided by estimating the weather in the environment where the breeding is performed in advance and notifying the user by the weather report information 211.

  Furthermore, the weather unit 201 according to the present embodiment refers to the breeding recipe information 8 registered in the breeding recipe DB 232, determines the influence of the previous similar weather on the previous breeding situation, etc., and notifies the weather Information 211 is created.

  Even in a training environment where the same weather forecast can be applied due to geographical proximity, the seriousness of the situation depends on whether the training site is “planting” or “planters placed on the verandas of high-rise apartments” Are different. By referring to the breeding recipe information 8, the breeding support system 1 can provide appropriate weather notification information 211 that is more specialized for breeding to be supported than the regional weather information obtained from the weather forecast center. .

  Note that, in the training support system 1 according to the present embodiment, an example in which a weather forecast is acquired from the server device 4 will be described. However, the weather unit 201 depends on observed information (for example, environmental information 80 included in the user information 611). May make a weather forecast.

  The menu proposal unit 202 has a function of planning a menu using the harvested living body according to the user information 611 and providing the menu information 212 to the user. When the menu proposal unit 202 plans a menu, the information shown in the user information 611, the information related to the user shown in the user DB 230, the result information 82 shown in the breeding recipe DB 232, and the network 9 are used. Information obtained from the server device 5) is referred to.

  The menu proposal unit 202 searches the breeding recipe DB 232 using the breeding recipe ID indicated in the user information 611 as a search key. As a result, the corresponding breeding recipe information 8 is identified from the database, and the result information 82 included in the breeding recipe information 8 (the type and yield of the harvested food, the quality represented by the evaluation value, the past menu, etc.) To be recorded). In this manner, the menu proposal unit 202 identifies the harvested living body, the harvest amount, and the like.

  At this time, the menu proposal unit 202 acquires the result information 82 from the other breeding recipe information 8 by referring to the other breeding recipe information 8 (the same user ID is assigned) of the same user. , As a reference for the user's own ingredients. For example, users who cultivate and cultivate summer vegetables often cultivate tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, green beans and the like simultaneously. For such a user, the training support system 1 according to the present embodiment can propose a menu that incorporates these ingredients in a composite manner by referring to other training recipe information 8 for the same user.

  Note that the information shown in the user information 611 is mainly information on hand-held ingredients other than the harvest. Moreover, the information regarding the user shown in the user DB 230 is information regarding repellent foods such as allergies (avoiding cooking using ingredients with allergic reactions) and likes / dislikes of the user.

  Further, the menu proposal unit 202 acquires weather information in the user's residence from the weather forecast center (server device 4), and proposes a menu according to the weather information. For example, when high temperature and high humidity are recorded as recent weather, the summer batter prevention menu and the cold menu are preferentially listed. Thereby, the menu suitable for the recent climate can be proposed with respect to a user. It should be noted that the server device 4 may refer to information associated with each menu to determine which menu has what effect (for example, summer summer prevention).

  The extraction unit 203 searches the user DB 230 and the breeding recipe DB 232 according to the conditions obtained from the user information 611 and the weather unit 201, extracts appropriate records from each database, and sends them to the weather unit 201 or the cultivation advice unit 205. introduce.

  Further, the extraction unit 203 searches the breeding recipe DB 232 using the system ID indicated by the user information 611 as a search key, and the currently-cultivated recipe information 8 (the current breeding status) in the user system 11 indicated by the system ID. Identifying information). The breeding recipe information 8 specified in this way is the breeding recipe information 8 corresponding to the user information 611, and is the breeding recipe information 8 representing the current breeding status in the user system 11. In other words, it means that the user information 611 relating to the breeding indicated by the breeding recipe information 8 has been received by the server device 2 and indicates that the breeding is a support target. That is, the extraction unit 203 has a function of identifying and extracting the breeding recipe information 8 (information representing the current breeding status) representing the status of the breeding to be supported according to the user information 611.

  The breeding recipe information 8 representing the status of the training that is the support target is transmitted to the cultivation advice unit 205 and is also used to identify and extract information that is the comparison target of the training that is the support target.

  The extraction unit 203 compares the breeding recipe information 8 (information representing the current breeding status) representing the status of the training to be supported with the breeding recipe information 8 stored in the breeding recipe DB 232. Then, the breeding recipe information 8 representing the breeding status approximate to the breeding recipe information 8 representing the status of the training to be supported is extracted from the breeding recipe DB 232 as a candidate for information to be compared.

  Further, the extraction unit 203 transmits the breeding recipe ID of the breeding recipe information 8 extracted as information candidates to be compared to the evaluation recording unit 200. At this time, the extraction unit 203 extracts information related to the current state of the living body (information included in the event information 81) from the breeding recipe information 8 representing the state of the breeding that is the support target, and the above-described breeding It is transmitted to the evaluation recording unit 200 together with the recipe ID.

  The event information 81 transmitted to the evaluation recording unit 200 is handled as information for determining a comparison point when obtaining a comparative evaluation. For example, if the current state of the living body is recorded in the event information 81 as the “germination” state, the comparison point is in the “germination” state. Accordingly, the evaluation recording unit 200 obtains a comparative evaluation for each of the breeding recipe information 8 extracted as information candidates to be compared, and transmits the comparison evaluation to the extraction unit 203.

  The extraction unit 203 acquires a temporary evaluation value from the result information 82 of the breeding recipe information 8 that represents the status of the training that is the support target, and compares it with the comparative evaluation value transmitted from the evaluation recording unit 200. Then, the breeding recipe information 8 that is a comparative evaluation value higher (excellent) than the temporary evaluation value is further extracted from the breeding recipe information 8 extracted as information candidates to be compared.

  That is, the extraction unit 203 uses the breeding recipe information 8 that represents the breeding situation in which the comparative evaluation by the evaluation recording unit 200 is superior to the current breeding situation (provisional evaluation) from the breeding recipe DB 232 stored in the hard disk 23. Is extracted as information to be compared. In this way, the current cultivation situation is evaluated (provisional evaluation), and the cultivation recipe information 8 to be compared is extracted according to the result of the provisional evaluation, thereby cultivating advice information according to the current cultivation situation. 213 can be created.

  After extracting the breeding recipe information 8 which is a comparative evaluation value superior to the temporary evaluation value, the extraction unit 203 in the present embodiment further extracts the growth recipe information 8 having a comparative evaluation value approximated to the temporary evaluation value. It specifies as the breeding recipe information 8 used as a comparison object. For example, in the case where the temporary evaluation value is “3”, when the breeding recipe information 8 with the comparative evaluation value “4” and the breeding recipe information 8 with the comparative evaluation value “5” are extracted, the extracting unit 203 Then, the breeding recipe information 8 having the comparative evaluation value “4” is extracted as the breeding recipe information 8 to be compared.

  The cultivation recipe information 8 extracted by the extraction unit 203 in this way is transmitted to the cultivation advice unit 205 as information to be compared. Even if the comparative evaluation value is high, a comparative evaluation value that is far from the current state of development may not be helpful. That is, it is superior to the current development situation (provisional evaluation), and the feasibility is improved by using an approximate provisional evaluation as an index.

  In addition, when a condition related to a region is transmitted from the weather unit 201, the extraction unit 203 searches the breeding recipe DB 232 using the region as a search key. Then, the breeding recipe information 8 of the corresponding area is extracted and transmitted to the weather unit 201. This corresponds to the weather unit 201 searching for the transmission destination of the weather notification information 211.

  The product proposal unit 204 searches for a product that meets the conditions indicated by the cultivation advice unit 205 from a virtual shop (mainly provided by the server device 3) installed on the network 9, and purchases the product. Has a function of transmitting necessary information to the cultivation advice unit 205.

  Although details will be described later, the condition transmitted from the cultivation advice unit 205 is a condition according to the past and current conditions of cultivation. Therefore, the training support system 1 can provide more specific training support by proposing products on the market according to the status of the training. For example, rather than simply being advised that the nutrient “nitrogen” is insufficient, it is easier for the user to deal with a specific product name for fertilizer that supplements nitrogen, and it can be said to be a kind advice.

  The cultivation advice unit 205 generates communication support information (cultivation advice information 213), particularly among the services requested by the user, according to the user information 611, and transmits it to the user system 11. 29 is controlled.

  The cultivation advice part 205 is the cultivation recipe information 8 extracted and transmitted by the extraction part 203 (information representing the current state of cultivation), and the cultivation recipe information 8 extracted and transmitted by the extraction part 203 as information to be compared. And compare. More specifically, the difference between the environmental information 80 included in the two breeding recipe information 8 is extracted, and the cultivation advice information 213 is created so as to suppress the difference.

  For example, when the sunshine value in the growing recipe information 8 to be compared is higher than the growing recipe information 8 indicating the current growing state, a message such as “Please move in the sun” is included in the growing advice information 213. . Further, for example, when the moisture dispersion value in the growing recipe information 8 to be compared is higher than the growing recipe information 8 representing the current growing state, a message “Please reduce the number of watering” is displayed. Included in the cultivation advice information 213.

  The cultivation advice unit 205 ranks the calculated difference values that are larger than the preset threshold value in descending order of the difference values, and suppresses each difference value according to the ranking. Is included in the cultivation advice information 213. For example, if the difference value exceeds the threshold value is the sunshine value and the moisture value, and the difference value of the sunshine value is larger than the difference value of the moisture value, the message `` Please move in the sun '' As the first advice, a message “please refrain from moisture” as the second advice is cultivation advice information 213. However, if the user specifies desired advice in the user information 611, advice on the specified item is given. For example, when the user desires advice regarding moisture, advice regarding moisture is given preferentially.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the server device 3 constituting the server system 10 is configured by a computer that is mainly installed in a store that handles products related to breeding. As retailers, home centers, supermarkets, department stores, general stores, etc. that handle equipment necessary for training are assumed, but equipment manufacturers and online shops that do not normally sell to general consumers, It may be an agency, a wholesale store, a mail order company, or the like. Further, the store may be a pet shop that handles the living body itself as a product, a personal breeder, a farmer, a seed maker, or the like.

  The server device 3 constitutes a virtual store (virtual shop site) on the network 9 in the server system 10 and stores information related to products related to breeding. A user in the training support system 1 can browse and purchase various products (including services) provided in the server device 3 via the user system 11 and the network 9.

  The training support system 1 in the present embodiment accurately grasps the status of the user's training by constructing the training recipe DB 232, and the product proposal unit 204 selects an appropriate product according to the status of the user's training. The user is guided to the server device 3 so as to be able to purchase. Thereby, the breeding support system 1 can also provide purchase support for products and the like to the user. In addition, since the store where the server device 3 is installed is guided to the customer, it is effective for sales promotion.

  The server device 4 is composed of a computer installed in a weather forecast center that provides weather information according to the region. The weather information provided by the server device 4 includes information on the future weather (weather forecast) in addition to information on the past weather (weather record). Therefore, in the breeding support system 1, it is possible to acquire weather information at an arbitrary date and time in an arbitrary area as needed by accessing the server device 4.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the server device 5 is a computer installed in a cooking school or the like that operates a cooking site or the like on the network 9. In such a cooking site, various cooking recipes are made public and generally available. In the growth support system 1, the menu proposal unit 202 of the server device 2 guides the user to such a cooking site, so that the effective use of the harvest obtained as a result of the growth is not limited to mere growth support. Can actively propose law.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the user system 11. The user system 11 includes a terminal device 6 operated by a user and a sensor module 7 installed in an environment for growing animals and plants.

  The terminal device 6 is a device having a function as a general computer, and has a function of connecting to the network 9 as described above. The terminal device 6 can also communicate data with the sensor module 7.

  As the terminal device 6 constituting the user system 11, for example, a game machine, a mobile phone, a dedicated terminal device, and the like are assumed in addition to the personal computer. The terminal device 6 may be composed of a plurality of devices (for example, a personal computer and a digital camera as shown in FIG. 1) that can exchange data with each other.

  In the plurality of user systems 11 constituting the training support system 1, it is not necessary that all the terminal devices 6 are unified with common hardware. That is, the terminal device 6 employ | adopted for every user system 11 according to a condition and the objective may differ. For example, a user who owns a mobile phone can construct his / her user system 11 using the mobile phone as the terminal device 6, while a user who owns a game machine uses his / her game machine as the terminal device 6 and his / her user system. 11 can be built.

  Thus, the user can easily construct his own user system 11 by downloading (or installing) a dedicated program related to the breeding support system 1 to an apparatus (hardware) that is uniquely owned. Thereby, the user can suppress the cost at the time of participating in the breeding support system 1 compared with the case where all the apparatuses which comprise the user system 11 are newly purchased. As described above, the development support system 1 is a system in which a non-profit individual can easily participate without cost, and can collect more participants (users).

  In the following description, unless otherwise specified, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a user system 11 in which the terminal device 6 is configured by a commercially available portable game machine will be described as an example. Animals and plants are often cultivated outdoors, and if a portable device is adopted as the terminal device 6, the terminal device 6 can be brought near the living organism being cultivated, which is convenient.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the terminal device 6 and the sensor module 7 constituting the user system 11.

  The terminal device 6 includes a CPU 60 and a storage device 61 as a control unit, an operation unit 62 as an input unit, a display unit 63 and a speaker 64 as an output unit, and a communication unit 65 as an interface between external devices. It has. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the terminal device 6 includes a timer and calendar information.

  The CPU 60 operates in accordance with the program 610 stored in the storage device 61, thereby calculating various data and controlling each component included in the terminal device 6. As a result, the terminal device 6 has a function as a general computer that executes the program 610 as described above. Details of functions realized by the CPU 60 will be described later.

  The storage device 61 includes, for example, a RAM used as a temporary working area of the CPU 60, a read-only ROM, a memory card that can be attached to and detached from the terminal device 6, a game cartridge, and the like. The storage device 61 may include a hard disk capable of storing a relatively large amount of data. The storage device 61 is a device that stores various data in the terminal device 6, and particularly stores the program 610, the breeding recipe information 8, and the measurement information 79.

  The breeding recipe information 8 stored in the storage device 61 is a collection of information in units of one record. Each record of the breeding recipe information 8 is created each time the breeding of animals and plants (living body) is started once. That is, various information obtained in one breeding is associated with each other so as to form one common record in the breeding recipe information 8, and each record of the breeding recipe information 8 corresponds to each record. This corresponds to information recording the growth of the living body.

  As information contained in each record of the breeding recipe information 8, in addition to the record identification information, as described above, the environment information 80 representing the breeding environment of the grown animals and plants, the event information representing the event affecting the living body 81, and result information 82 indicating the result, result, evaluation value, and the like of the training. In addition to these pieces of information, each record includes the user ID of the user who conducted the training corresponding to the record, information for identifying whether the training is still in progress or the training has ended, and of course these are examples. In addition, other information may be included. Further, the information given in the above example is not always included in the record creation. Information included in the record includes information included only in a specific record, information on the progress of the training, and information given after the training.

  In the training support system 1 according to the present embodiment, the training recipe information 8 is created / edited by the evaluation recording unit 200 of the server device 2 based on the user information 611 and registered / updated in the training recipe DB 232. Therefore, the breeding recipe information 8 stored in the storage device 61 is information downloaded from the server device 2 for browsing. However, the breeding recipe information 8 may be created by the terminal device 6 and transmitted to the server device 2.

  As described above, the result information 82 included in the breeding recipe information 8 is information representing the breeding result of the actually grown animals and plants. For example, the yield, number, sugar content, size, color, flowering period, breeding The period, disease history of the bred animals, breeding status, life span, number of tricks learned, cost, evaluation value for breeding, etc. are assumed.

  In the present embodiment, the result information 82 is described as an example input by the user, but the result information 82 is preferably “accurate” and “objective”. Therefore, the terminal device 6 (user system 11) may be provided with a dedicated input device (sugar meter, weight scale, etc.) for accurately obtaining the result information 82. Alternatively, the result information 82 may be created based on image information acquired by an imaging unit (not shown).

  As described above, the result information 82 representing the growth results of the grown animals and plants constitutes one record in the breeding recipe information 8 together with the environment information 80 representing the environment for growing the animals and plants. That is, the environment information 80 obtained in one training and the result information 82 in the training are associated with each other in the training recipe information 8.

  The operation unit 62 is hardware such as keys, buttons, a mouse, and a touch pen, and is operated by a user. The user inputs various information to the terminal device 6 by appropriately operating the operation unit 62. In particular, the operation unit 62 is operated to input user information 611 and result information 82.

  The display unit 63 is a visual output device such as a liquid crystal panel, a display, an LED, or a lamp. The terminal device 6 provides information to the user as appropriate by displaying various types of information on the display unit 63. In particular, the display unit 63 displays a GUI for the user to input various information to the user system 11, and displays the weather notification information 211, menu information 212, and cultivation advice information 213 transmitted from the server device 2. It has a function to do.

  The speaker 64 is an auditory output device that reproduces sound in accordance with a control signal from the CPU 60. The sound reproduced by the speaker 64 is a guidance, various messages, a cry of a living body, a warning sound for notifying the deterioration of the growing environment, BGM, or the like.

  The communication unit 65 has a function of connecting the terminal device 6 to the network 9 wirelessly and a function of performing wireless data communication between the terminal device 6 and the sensor module 7. As a configuration provided in the communication unit 65, a configuration that realizes wireless communication using infrared rays, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), or the like has been conventionally known. However, the configuration is not limited to these, and the communication unit 65 includes a plurality of communication units 65. A configuration using both a wireless system and a wired system may be used.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating functional blocks included in the terminal device 6 together with a data flow. The data creation unit 600 and the output control unit 601 illustrated in FIG. 6 are functional blocks that are mainly realized by the CPU 60 operating according to the program 610.

  The data creation unit 600 has a function of creating user information 611 based on various information.

  For example, the data creation unit 600 creates user information 611 indicating that the user has logged into the training support system 1 when the user operates the terminal device 6 to activate the program 610.

  In addition, the data creation unit 600 creates environment information 80 representing the living environment of the living body based on the measurement information 79 transmitted from the sensor module 7, and a growing recipe ID indicating the growing recipe information 8 corresponding to the living body. At the same time, it is stored in the user information 611. The measurement information 79 is a measurement value measured for each parameter representing the surrounding environment (that is, the growing environment) in the vicinity of the living body being grown.

  Further, the data creation unit 600 creates user information 611 based on information input from the operation unit 62 when the operation unit 62 is operated by the user. The information created in this way is mainly text information (character information). That is, the user can operate the operation unit 62 to make an inquiry or report regarding the growth support system 1. As such an inquiry, what requests the menu information 212 and the cultivation advice information 213 is assumed.

  The output control unit 601 has a function of causing the display unit 63 to display a GUI that supports the user when inputting various information (for example, user information 611). The user can input the information easily and accurately by operating the operation unit 62 according to the GUI displayed by the output control unit 601.

  Further, the output control unit 601 controls the speaker 64 to reproduce guidance, warning sound, BGM, and the like through the speaker 64. For example, regarding the BGM, the output control unit 601 may be configured to select a light, rhythmic song, or a serious song in accordance with the breeding environment (environment information 80).

  Further, the output control unit 601 causes the display unit 63 to display the weather notification information 211, the menu information 212, and the cultivation advice information 213 received from the server device 2. Thereby, the user can confirm these information easily. The weather notification information 211 may be output to the speaker 64 as a buzzer or a warning sound.

  Furthermore, the output control unit 601 also has a function of outputting the user information 611 created as necessary to the communication unit 65 to output the information to the server device 2.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the sensor module 7 includes an MCU 70, an operation button 71, an LED 72, an illuminance sensor 73, a soil sensor 74, a thermometer 75, a hygrometer 76, and an RF circuit 77.

  The sensor module 7 in the present embodiment has a function of acquiring measurement information 79 by measuring a value of a parameter that affects plant growth in the growing environment and transmitting the measurement information 79 to the terminal device 6. The measurement information 79 becomes the environment information 80 in the terminal device 6 as described above. That is, the sensor module 7 has a function of acquiring environment information 80 representing the environment for growing animals and plants.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the sensor module 7 in the present embodiment forms an integrated device in which each of the above components is stored compactly in a relatively small casing that has been waterproofed. The soil sensor 74 has a shape protruding downward. The sensor module 7 in the present embodiment is a device installed with the soil sensor 74 being inserted into the soil, and operates by supplying power from a battery (not shown).

  In FIG. 4, only one sensor module 7 is illustrated, but the number of sensor modules 7 included in one user system 11 is not limited to one. When the user system 11 includes a plurality of sensor modules 7, sensor IDs for identifying individual sensor modules 7 may be assigned and managed.

  The illuminance sensor 73, the soil sensor 74, the thermometer 75, and the hygrometer 76 are examples of detection devices that acquire information representing plant growth environments, and the detection devices provided in the sensor module 7 are not necessarily limited to these. It is not something. For example, a measure (length meter) for measuring the height of a plant that is pulled out and grown up may be incorporated. Further, the sensor module 7 does not need to include all of these detection devices. The sensor module 7 only needs to incorporate one or more necessary detection devices in advance according to the type of the “living body” to be observed and according to necessity.

  The MCU 70 includes an arithmetic device that operates according to the program 700, a ROM that stores the program 700, a memory that temporarily stores various information such as the created measurement information 79, a timer (oscillator) that measures time, and the like. The module 7 has a function of controlling each component. That is, the sensor module 7 has a configuration and a function as a microcomputer.

  The operation button 71 is operated by the user and used to input necessary information to the sensor module 7. As information input from the operation button 71, for example, information for instructing the sensor module 7 to start training, reset information, or the like is assumed.

  The LED 72 is mainly used to warn the user of deterioration of the growing environment depending on the lighting state. In the present embodiment, the lighting state of the LED 72 is controlled by the MCU 70 comparing the reference value (allowable value) included in the program 700 with the acquired measurement information 79. The reference value may be transmitted from the terminal device 6 in accordance with the living body that is the subject of the cultivation. Further, the lighting state of the LED 72 may be used to express the operation state of the sensor module 7.

  The illuminance sensor 73 detects the illuminance (light intensity) in the installation environment and transmits it to the MCU 70.

  For example, it is known that the light saturation point and the light compensation point differ depending on the type (variety) of the plant, and the characteristics of the plant with respect to illuminance are different. The light saturation point is a point at which the photosynthesis rate becomes substantially constant, and the light compensation point is a point at which the amount of carbon dioxide released by respiration is equal to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by photosynthesis.

  The breeding support system 1 stores in advance information regarding such characteristics for each living body. That is, the breeding support system 1 (terminal device 6) can determine the suitability of the growing environment based on the illuminance (measurement information 79) measured by the illuminance sensor 73. Therefore, it is possible to advise the user to promote the movement of the planter or potted plant or to perform thinning.

  The illuminance sensor 73 has a function of measuring the light intensity for each wavelength of light. For example, in the case of plants, physiologically effective radiation (light with a wavelength of 300 to 800 nm) necessary for physiological effects such as pigment biosynthesis, photoperiodicity, phototropism, and morphogenesis, and photosynthesis energy There are photosynthetic effective radiation (light with a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm) that requires strong light intensity because it becomes a source, and light with a harmful wavelength.

  The soil sensor 74 determines the pH value, EC value (electrical conductivity), and impedance (which is an indicator of the amount of water) of the soil in which the cultivated plant is planted (the soil where the sensor module 7 is installed). Detect and transmit to MCU 70.

  In general, when the soil becomes acidic (pH = 5 or less), nutrients such as lime, bitter earth, boron, and phosphoric acid are difficult to absorb and are insufficient. Moreover, when it becomes alkaline (pH = 7 or more), there are too many lime and bitumen, and the deficiency of trace elements such as iron and manganese and the decrease in absorption of phosphoric acid are likely to occur. Furthermore, the pH value is related to the activity of microorganisms in the soil and affects the growth of plants. It is also known that when a plant is grown, the appropriate pH value of the soil varies depending on the type and state of the plant.

  Further, since there is a correlation between the pH value that affects plant cultivation and the EC value, the amount of fertilizer (mainly nitrate nitrogen) dissolved in water can be detected by the EC value. In general, pure water has an EC value of “0”, and the EC value tends to increase as more ions are dissolved.

  The cultivation support system 1 (terminal device 6) urges treatment such as topdressing according to the EC value (measurement information 79) measured by the soil sensor 74, and also presents the type of fertilizer to be topdressed and the dangers caused by leaving it as it is. Or, what kind of danger is there can be advised. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately support plant cultivation by the user.

  Further, since the moisture content of the soil can be detected from the impedance acquired by the soil sensor 74, the breeding support system 1 can prompt “watering” according to the impedance value (measurement information 79).

  The thermometer 75 detects the temperature (air temperature) in the installation environment and transmits it to the MCU 70. Further, the hygrometer 76 detects the humidity in the installation environment and transmits it to the MCU 70. In general, temperature and humidity in the growing environment are also important environmental parameters that affect plant growth.

  The above-described MCU 70 creates measurement information 79 based on values (information representing the living environment of the living body) acquired from the illuminance sensor 73, the soil sensor 74, the thermometer 75, and the hygrometer 76, and temporarily stores the measurement information 79. . The measurement information 79 created in this way includes a value representing the acquisition time of the value as well as a value representing the living environment of the living body.

  The RF circuit 77 has a function of realizing wireless data communication between the terminal device 6 and the sensor module 7. In particular, the RF circuit 77 transmits the measurement information 79 created by the MCU 70 toward the terminal device 6.

  The above is the description of the configuration and function of the user system 11. In addition, as the user system 11, it is preferable to sell the program 610 as application software, the sensor module 7, and trial items (plant seeds, mini planters, soil, etc.) as a set. Alternatively, it is preferable that the item recommended by the program 610 is sold with a common certification mark or the like to facilitate purchase by the user.

  The above is the description of the configuration and functions of the training support system 1. Next, a training support method for supporting the growth of animals and plants (living bodies) using the training support system 1 will be described.

  The user can receive various support related to the training from the training support system 1 according to each stage (situation) of the training. The user operates the operation unit 62 of the terminal device 6 when desiring to support the training support system 1 or when it becomes necessary to input various information necessary for receiving support in the future. Then, the program 610 stored in the storage device 61 is activated.

When the program 610 is activated by the user, the terminal device 6 displays a menu screen 630 shown in FIG. 7 after executing predetermined initial settings. The menu screen 630 forms a GUI and is created by the output control unit 601 and displayed on the display unit 63.

  In the initial setting, user information 611 indicating that the user has logged into the training support system 1 is created by the data creation unit 600 and transmitted to the server device 2 by the communication unit 65. At this time, if untransmitted measurement information 79 exists, user information 611 including the measurement information 79 as environment information 80 is created by the data creation unit 600 and transmitted to the server device 2.

  On the buttons 630a to 630e displayed on the menu screen 630, characters "New registration", "Growth preparation", "Growth observation", "Growth recipe management", and "Menu management" are displayed, respectively. When one of the buttons 630a to 630e is operated by the user, processing corresponding thereto is started in the training support system 1.

  The button 630a displayed on the menu screen 630 is a button operated when the user tries to start a new training. When the button 630a is operated in a state where the menu screen 630 is displayed, the terminal device 6 starts a new registration process, and the user newly registers the training to be started in the training support system 1. In other words, each time a new registration process is completed, one record constituting the breeding recipe information 8 is added to the breeding recipe DB 232.

The training preparation process is a process for preparing preparations until actual training is started. When starting the growth preparation process, the user selects a record newly created in the new registration process (a record related to a living body that has not yet started the growth) from the growth recipe information 8. In the training preparation process, support is provided for a method for preparing a training environment until receipt of purchase of various products provided from the server device 3 and training start.

  When the button 630c displayed on the menu screen 630 is operated, the terminal device 6 starts the breeding observation process. When the user intends to create a diary or blog for the ongoing training, or when he / she wants to receive necessary assistance (advice) for the training, the user can display the menu screen 630 shown in FIG. Then, the button 630c is operated.

  When the button 630d displayed on the menu screen 630 is operated, the terminal device 6 starts the breeding recipe management process. In the breeding recipe management process, the user can browse and analyze the breeding recipe information 8 (simulation or the like), and can also publish the breeding recipe information 8 representing the state of his / her breeding on the server device 2. is there. In addition, the user can select and download the breeding recipe information 8 created by others published on the server device 2 from the breeding recipe DB 232 and browse the breeding recipe information 8 on the terminal device 6.

  When the button 630e displayed on the menu screen 630 is operated, the terminal device 6 starts the menu management process. In the menu management process, the user can browse information regarding the menu (such as cooking examples) created by the user, and can also post information related to the menu to the server device 2. Further, the user can request the server apparatus 2 to create and transmit the menu information 212.

  In the following description, a “nurturing preparation process”, a “nurturing observation process”, a “nurturing recipe management process”, and a “menu management process” that are particularly related to the breeding support method will be described. However, the excellent effects of the present invention are not limited to these treatments.

  In the display column 631a in the initial state, the crop with the highest priority is displayed together with the recommendation level (number of stars). As a result, the user can easily know what crop is most suitable for his / her growing environment.

  In addition, when recommending a living body, the cultivation advice unit 205 refers to past cultivation recipe information 8. Therefore, it is possible to refer to the environment information 80 that has already been observed in the user's training environment in the past, and it is possible to recommend a crop most suitable for the environment represented by the environment information 80 (an environment that can be realized at least once).

  The display field 631a is provided with a pull-down button so that a list of selectable biological bodies can be displayed according to the priority order. When the user intends to start training for a living body other than the living body already displayed in the display field 631a, the user operates the pull-down button to display the other living body, and then selects the next living body. It is possible to specify a living body to start.

  When the living body displayed in the display field 631a is changed by the user's selection, the items (products) displayed in the display field 631b and the input fields 631d, 631e, 631f, and 631g change accordingly. To do. This is displayed as a result of the product proposal unit 204 searching for an appropriate product for each living body.

  The information displayed in the display field 631b is so-called basic information regarding the living body displayed in the display field 631a. However, you may make it display the result information 82 in the training of the said user regarding the said biological body so far, the condition of another user, etc. on the display column 631b. By confirming the information displayed in the display field 631b, the user can obtain the minimum knowledge about the living body about to start growing.

  In the initial state input field 631c, a place where the user grows the living body (a growing place acquired from the user DB 230) is displayed. The user can also input a name most suitable as his / her growing place in the input field 631c by operating a pull-down button provided in the input field 631c. In the training support system 1, by inputting the training location in the input field 631c, it is possible to grasp not only the address on the map but also the characteristic environment of the training location.

  In the input column 631d in the initial state, a store recommended by the breeding support system 1 (product proposal unit 204) is displayed as a source of the living body displayed in the display column 631a. The user can input his / her desired source in the input field 631d by operating a pull-down button provided in the input field 631d.

  In the input columns 631e, 631f, and 631g in the initial state, products that are necessary at the stage of preparing the growth of the living body displayed in the display column 631a are displayed. The user can select and input a desired product by operating pull-down buttons provided in the input fields 631e, 631f, and 631g.

  The cancel button 631h is a button operated when canceling the training preparation process. The preparing button 631i is a button for once ending the training preparation process during the training preparation. The order button 631j is a button operated when ordering a living body from the store input in the input field 631d or when ordering a product input in the input fields 631e, 631f, 631g. . Furthermore, the training start button 631k is a button operated when preparation for training is completed and training is started.

  Returning to FIG. 8, when step S11 is executed, the terminal device 6 accepts an input (operation) to the preparation screen 631, and any one of the stop button 631h, the preparing button 631i, the order button 631j, and the training start button 631k. Is monitored (steps S12, S13, S15, S17).

  When the stop button 631h is operated while the preparation screen 631 is displayed, the terminal device 6 stops the training preparation process and displays the menu screen 630 shown in FIG. At this time, information input to the preparation screen 631 is discarded.

  When the preparation button 631i is operated while the preparation screen 631 is displayed, the data generation unit 600 of the terminal device 6 generates user information 611 based on information input to the preparation screen 631. Then, the communication unit 65 transmits the user information 611 toward the server device 2 (step S14). And if step S14 is performed, the terminal device 6 will complete | finish a training preparation process, and will display the menu screen 630 shown in FIG.

  The input information included in the user information 611 transmitted in step S14 is stored and saved in the corresponding breeding recipe information 8 (not yet started to grow) by the evaluation recording unit 200 of the server device 2. Therefore, when the breeding preparation process is resumed, the preparation screen 631 is created based on the previously input information and displayed on the display unit 63.

  When the order button 631j is operated while the preparation screen 631 is displayed, the data creation unit 600 of the terminal device 6 creates user information 611 based on information input to the preparation screen 631. The communication unit 65 transmits the user information 611 toward the server device 2 (step S16). As a result, the order contents of the user are transmitted from the server apparatus 2 to the server apparatus 3, and the order of the product by the user is performed.

  Further, when the training start button 631k is operated while the preparation screen 631 is displayed, the data creation unit 600 of the terminal device 6 creates user information 611 based on information input to the preparation screen 631. Then, the communication unit 65 transmits the user information 611 toward the server device 2. Then, the user information 611 transmitted at this time (information input in the preparation screen 631) is stored in the breeding recipe information 8 (mainly event information 81) by the evaluation recording unit 200. At this time, an identifier indicating that the breeding has been started is also stored in the breeding recipe information 8. Thereby, the training that was being prepared is started (step S18). If step S18 is performed, the terminal device 6 will complete | finish a training preparation process, and will display the menu screen 630 shown in FIG.

  The above is the description of the training preparation process. Next, the growth observation process will be described.

  FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are flowcharts showing the breeding observation process in the breeding support system 1. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an observation screen 632 displayed in the growth observation process. However, the observation screen 632 shown in FIG. 12 shows a state in which some information has already been input, not the initial state.

  Although not shown in FIG. 10, when the growth observation process is started, the data creation unit 600 creates user information 611 indicating that the growth observation process is started. And the output control part 601 controls the communication part 65, The said user information 611 is transmitted toward the server apparatus 2 (step S21).

  Thereby, the server apparatus 2 is notified that the user has started the breeding observation process in the user system 11 (specified by the system ID). In addition, when several training is performed in parallel in the same user system 11, the display part 63 displays the said several training as a list. Then, when the user selects a desired growth from a plurality of listed growths, user information 611 including information indicating the selected growth (for example, information in which a sensor ID is added to the system ID) is created and transmitted. Is done.

  Based on the system ID indicating the transmission source included in the user information 611 transmitted in step S21, the extraction unit 203 searches the breeding recipe DB 232, and the breeding recipe information 8 being continued in the user system 11 indicated by the system ID. Is extracted (step S22). The breeding recipe information 8 extracted in step S22 is the breeding recipe information 8 that represents the state of the breeding that the user desires to observe, and represents the state of the breeding that is the object of observation in the breeding observation process.

  The cultivation recipe information 8 extracted in step S22 is transmitted to the cultivation advice unit 205. The cultivation advice unit 205 includes the cultivation recipe information 8 in the cultivation advice information 213. Then, the cultivation advice information 213 is transmitted toward the terminal device 6 (step S23).

  In response to the cultivation advice information 213 transmitted from the server device 2 in step S23, the output control unit 601 of the terminal device 6 creates an observation screen 632 and displays it on the display unit 63 (step S24).

  The observation screen 632 shown in FIG. 12 includes a breeding environment display field 632a, a living body display field 632b, an input field 632c, 632d, a weather notification field 632e, an input field 632f, and buttons 632g, 632h, 632i, 632j. Yes.

  The cultivation environment display field 632a includes environment information 80 (temperature and humidity in the example shown in FIG. 12) created based on the measurement information 79 acquired by the sensor module 7, the current date and time, weather (event information 81), and the like. Is a column for displaying. Note that all types of environment information 80 derived from the sensor module 7 may be displayed in the training environment display field 632a. However, if a large number of complicated numerical values are listed, the user may be confused. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, it is preferable to display the observation screen 632 limited to information that the user can grasp relatively easily.

  The living body display column 632b is a column for displaying an image obtained by photographing a growing living body, an image representing a living body in a pseudo manner, or the like.

  The input field 632c and the input field 632d are mainly used for inputting the event information 81 by the user operating the operation unit 62. The input field 632c is provided with a pull-down button for displaying a list of “events” that can be input. FIG. 12 shows an example in which “germination” is input as event information 81 indicating “growth” of a plant.

  However, the information input in the input field 632c and the input field 632d is not limited to the event information 81 but may be environment information 80. For example, when the sensor module 7 does not have a function of measuring the temperature, the temperature measured by the user using the thermometer is set as “temperature measurement” and “28.2 ° C.” in the input field 632c and the input field 632d. Entered.

  The result information 82 may be input using the input field 632c and the input field 632d. For example, when growing a plant that is cultivated for the purpose of viewing flowers, the period from “flowering” to “falling flowers” is the period during which flowers can be viewed and can be regarded as a result. In such a case, by inputting “falling flowers”, the viewing period (result information 82) as a result of the cultivation is calculated and acquired by the CPU 60. In addition, as for tomatoes and eggplants, for living organisms in which the products are sequentially harvested during the cultivation, the user inputs “harvest” as an event in the input field 632c every time they are harvested, and is harvested at this time. The result information 82 regarding the harvest is input.

  The weather notification column 632e is a column in which the weather notification information 211 is displayed. When receiving the weather notification information 211 from the server device 2, the output control unit 601 notifies the user by displaying it in the weather notification column 632 e. Note that the output form of the weather notification information 211 is not limited to the display in the weather notification column 632e, and may be notification by mail, output by voice, or the like, or these may be used in combination.

  The input column 632f is a column used for the user to input a diary or an inquiry. The input field 632f is provided with a selection button for designating whether the input information is “diary” or “inquiry”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12, “inquiry” is selected, and a check box for designating an inquiry item is displayed. In addition to the inquiries, the condition items for narrowing the breeding recipe information 8 to be compared with each other may be selected. For example, it may be configured such that designation to refer to a standard recipe, designation to refer to the breeding recipe information 8 in which sweet fruits have been harvested, and the like can be selected. Although illustration is omitted, when “diary” is selected, a cursor or the like for the user to input a free sentence is displayed in the input field 632f.

  The button 632g is a button for displaying the cultivation advice information 213 transmitted from the server device 2 in response to an inquiry or the like. Although not shown in detail, when the button 632g is operated, the input field 632f is used as an area for displaying the cultivation advice information 213.

  The button 632h is a button for transmitting information input to the observation screen 632 (input fields 632c, 632d, 632f) to the server apparatus 2 as user information 611. The button 632i is a button that is operated to end the growth observation process and display the menu screen 630. Further, the button 632j is a button that is operated when the growth under observation is terminated.

  In the state in which step S24 shown in FIG. 10 is executed and the observation screen 632 is displayed on the display unit 63, the CPU 60 monitors various states (steps S25, S27, S31, S33, S36).

  When the terminal device 6 receives new weather notification information 211 while the observation screen 632 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed, the CPU 60 determines Yes in step S25, and the output control unit 601 newly displays the observation screen 632. Displayed (step S26). As described above, since the weather notification column 632e is provided in the observation screen 632, when the observation screen 632 is newly created and displayed in step S26, the newly received weather is displayed in the weather notification column 632e. Notification information 211 is displayed.

  The weather unit 201 of the server device 2 periodically refers to the server DB 231 to acquire and access the network address of the server device 4 and makes an inquiry about the weather information to the server device 4. Then, it is checked whether or not the obtained weather information includes an event (strong wind, typhoon, heavy rain, long rain, high temperature, hail, frost, etc.) that may have a serious effect on the living body.

  When such an event is included, the extraction unit 203 extracts a record (the breeding recipe information 8 in the breeding recipe DB 232) that is likely to cause the event, and the extracted breeding recipe information 8 The system ID of the user system 11 corresponding to is received from the extraction unit 203. Then, the communication unit 29 transmits these pieces of information as weather notification information 211 toward the user system 11.

  In other words, the server device 2 monitors the weather related to the region where the user is growing based on the weather information from the server device 4 while the growth observation process is continued. And when the information which may have a serious influence on cultivation is extracted from the weather information, the weather notification information 211 is newly created and transmitted to the user system 11.

  When the button 632g on which the characters “consultation confirmation” are displayed while the observation screen 632 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed, the CPU 60 determines Yes in step S27 shown in FIG. Then, the output control unit 601 displays the received cultivation advice information 213 in the input field 632f (step S28).

  Thereby, the user can confirm the cultivation advice information 213 received from the server device 2. In addition, when the cultivation advice information 213 is newly received, it is preferable that the output control unit 601 displays the button 632g in reverse display so that the user can easily know the fact. Further, depending on the content of the cultivation advice information 213, the observation screen 632 may be displayed in some state even if the button 632e is not operated. That is, in order to confirm the cultivation advice information 213, the button 632e does not necessarily have to be operated.

  If the button 632h on which the characters “Send” are displayed is operated in a state where the observation screen 632 is displayed, the CPU 60 determines Yes in step S31. Then, based on the input information that has been input to the observation screen 632 (input fields 632c, 632d, and 632f) and has not yet been transmitted, the data creation unit 600 creates user information 611 including the input information, and the user information 611 is transmitted to the server apparatus 2 by the communication unit 65 (step S32).

  When the button 632i on which the character “end observation” is displayed is operated in the state where the observation screen 632 is displayed, the CPU 60 determines Yes in step S33, and further displays the observation screen 632 (input field 632c). , 632d, 632f), it is determined whether there is input information that has not been transmitted yet (step S34).

  When input information exists (Yes in step S34), the data creation unit 600 creates user information 611 including the input information, and the user information 611 is transmitted to the server device 2 by the communication unit 65. (Step S35). Thereafter, the terminal device 6 ends the growth observation process, and the output control unit 601 displays the menu screen 630 on the display unit 63.

  On the other hand, when there is no input information (No in step S34), the CPU 60 skips step S35 and ends the growth observation process. When the growth observation process is finished, the output control unit 601 displays the menu screen 630 on the display unit 63.

  In a state where the observation screen 632 is displayed, when the button 632j on which the characters “Growth end” are displayed is operated, the CPU 60 determines Yes in step S36. Then, the data creation unit 600 creates user information 611 indicating that the growth is finished, and the user information 611 is transmitted to the server device 2 (step S37).

  When the server device 2 receives the user information 611 transmitted in step S <b> 37, the evaluation recording unit 200 performs evaluation (result evaluation) of the growing recipe information 8 being observed, and the growing recipe information as result information 82. 8 and an identifier indicating that the breeding has been completed.

  When step S <b> 37 is executed, the terminal device 6 ends the growth observation process, and the output control unit 601 displays the menu screen 630 on the display unit 63.

  The above is the growth observation process. Next, the breeding recipe management process will be described.

  When the button 630d on which the characters “nurturing recipe management” are displayed in the state where the menu screen 630 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed, the breeding support system 1 starts the breeding recipe management process.

  The breeding recipe management process is a process for downloading, browsing, analyzing, or simulating the breeding recipe information 8 already registered in the breeding recipe DB 232.

  Here, of the breeding recipe management process, only the process in which the user displays and checks his / her own evaluation value will be described.

  When the breeding recipe management process is started, the data creation unit 600 of the terminal device 6 creates user information 611 indicating that the breeding recipe management process has been started. Then, the communication unit 65 transmits the user information 611 toward the server device 2 under the control of the output control unit 601.

  When the user information 611 transmitted at this time is received, the extraction unit 203 of the server device 2 specifies the user by searching the user DB 230 with the system ID stored in the user information 611.

  Next, the extraction unit 203 searches the breeding recipe DB 232 by the user ID of the identified user, identifies the breeding recipe information 8 related to the breeding performed so far by the user, and transmits the information to the cultivation advice unit 205. The cultivation advice unit 205 creates the cultivation advice information 213 based on the cultivation recipe ID of the cultivation recipe information 8 specified in this way. The cultivation advice information 213 is transmitted toward the terminal device 6 by the communication unit 29.

  When the cultivation advice information 213 transmitted from the server device 2 is received in this way, the output control unit 601 of the terminal device 6 starts the user so far with the breeding recipe ID included in the cultivation advice information 213. A list of trainings that are in progress (may be trainings that have not yet been completed) is displayed.

  The user operates the operation unit 62 to select the desired breeding recipe information 8 for which an evaluation value is desired to be confirmed from the list displayed on the display unit 63 by the output control unit 601. Thereby, the user information 611 including the breeding recipe ID of the selected breeding recipe information 8 is transmitted toward the server device 2.

  When the user information 611 including the breeding recipe ID indicating the breeding recipe information 8 selected by the user is received by the server device 2, the extraction unit 203 corresponds to the breeding recipe information from the breeding recipe DB 232 according to the breeding recipe ID. 8 is extracted and transmitted to the cultivation advice unit 205.

  The cultivation advice unit 205 creates cultivation advice information 213 including the cultivation recipe information 8. The cultivation advice information 213 is transmitted toward the terminal device 6. In the terminal device 6 that has received the cultivation advice information 213, the output control unit 601 displays the cultivation advice information 213 (nurturing recipe information 8) on the display unit 63. The comparison points (biological state) that can be designated in the breeding recipe information 8 are displayed.

  The user selects a comparison point of a desired comparative evaluation value that he / she wants to check, and thereby user information 611 including the comparison point is transmitted to the server device 2.

  Next, the extraction unit 203 of the server device 2 acquires the comparison point selected by the user from the received user information 611 and the breeding recipe ID of the breeding recipe information 8, and stores these information in the evaluation recording unit 200. introduce. As a result, the evaluation recording unit 200 obtains a comparative evaluation value at the comparison point and transmits it to the extraction unit 203.

  Further, the extraction unit 203 transmits the breeding recipe ID of the breeding recipe information 8 for the same living body as the living body in the target growing recipe information 8 to the evaluation recording unit 200 together with the comparison point. Thereby, the comparative evaluation value at the comparison point of the other breeding recipe information 8 is obtained and transmitted to the extraction unit 203.

  The extraction unit 203 transmits all the transmitted comparative evaluation values to the cultivation advice unit 205, and the cultivation advice unit 205 creates the cultivation advice information 213 including all the transmitted comparative evaluation values.

  Further, the extraction unit 203 determines whether or not the target breeding recipe information 8 is the breeding recipe information 8 related to the breeding that has already been completed. And when the said breeding recipe information 8 is the breeding recipe information 8 regarding the raising which has not yet ended, it is approximated to the said breeding recipe information 8, and the breeding recipe information 8 concerning the raising that has already been finished is used as the breeding recipe. The result evaluation value (or result information 82) extracted from the DB 232 and included in the breeding recipe information 8 is transmitted to the cultivation advice unit 205. The cultivation advice unit 205 creates cultivation advice information 213 including the transmitted result evaluation value.

  The cultivation advice information 213 including all the comparative evaluation values and one result evaluation value created in this way is transmitted toward the terminal device 6, and the output control unit 601 of the terminal device 6 that receives the information advises the output. It is displayed on the display unit 63.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying the comparative evaluation value at the comparison point. Moreover, FIG. 14 is a figure which shows the example which displays a result evaluation value.

  In the training support system 1 according to the present embodiment, the comparative evaluation value is displayed as a pie chart as shown in FIG. At this time, the portion including the user's comparative evaluation value is highlighted and displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 13, “sprouting” is selected as the comparison point. Then, it can be seen that the comparative evaluation value at the stage of “emergence” of the user is “4”, and is included in the top 9% in all the comparative evaluation values.

  As shown in FIG. 13, by displaying the user's comparative evaluation value, the user can accurately grasp the status of his / her development at any stage (comparison point). It can be easily confirmed how the users are distributed.

  In addition, if the comparative evaluation values at the comparative points are sequentially displayed and confirmed, it is analyzed at what stage the breeding situation has improved (or darkened), or whether the work and countermeasures performed at that time are good or bad. be able to.

  Further, in the training support system 1 according to the present embodiment, the result evaluation value is displayed in a radar chart as shown in FIG. In addition, regarding the cultivation for which the result evaluation value has not yet been obtained, since the result evaluation value of the approximate cultivation recipe information 8 is stored in the cultivation advice information 213 as described above, the predicted evaluation value is obtained by using this. Can be displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the result evaluation value (predicted evaluation value) is displayed in the radar chart, so that the user is superior in what kind of item and what item is inferior in terms of self-development. Can be easily confirmed.

  It is also possible to understand what items have influenced what items. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 14, the “growth period” was a good result (evaluation “4”) because no pests were generated (evaluation “5”), but “actual size” or “real” It can be understood that it does not have much influence on "abundance".

  Moreover, since the predicted evaluation value is displayed for the training that has not yet been completed, the user can easily predict the training results. And by grasping items that are currently inferior, it is possible to easily grasp matters that should be sought for advice in the future. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 14, it can be easily understood that advice should be given with an emphasis on “actual size” which is an item with low evaluation.

  The above is the display method of the evaluation values (comparison evaluation value and result evaluation value) in the breeding recipe management process. Next, the menu management process will be described.

  When the button 630e on which the characters “menu management” are displayed in the state where the menu screen 630 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed, the training support system 1 starts the menu management process.

  When the menu management process is started, the data creation unit 600 of the terminal device 6 creates user information 611 indicating that the menu management process is started. Then, the communication unit 65 transmits the user information 611 toward the server device 2.

  When the user information 611 transmitted at this time is received, the menu proposal unit 202 of the server device 2 specifies the user by searching the user DB 230 with the system ID stored in the user information 611.

  Next, the menu proposal unit 202 searches the breeding recipe DB 232 with the identified user ID of the user, and identifies the breeding recipe information 8 relating to the breeding performed so far by the user. Then, the menu proposal unit 202 transmits the breeding recipe ID of the breeding recipe information 8 specified in this way toward the user system 11.

  The CPU 60 of the terminal device 6 displays a list of the cultivations that have been performed by the user so far (the cultivation in which the harvest is obtained) by the cultivation recipe ID. From the displayed list, the user decides and selects which breeding menu for the harvested item to be retrieved. At this time, if there are any ingredients on hand, information on the ingredients on hand (food type, number, size, etc.) is input.

  By this operation, the user information 611 including the breeding recipe ID of the breeding recipe information 8 selected by the user and the information about the ingredients on hand that are input by the user is created by the data creation unit 600 and transmitted to the server device 2. Is done.

  When the transmitted user information 611 is received by the server device 2, the menu proposal unit 202 extracts the breeding recipe information 8 selected by the user from the breeding recipe DB 232 and acquires the result information 82 from the breeding recipe information 8. To do. Thereby, the menu proposal unit 202 can obtain information such as the type of harvest, the amount of harvest, and the quality that can be used for the menu. At this time, the menu proposal unit 202 refers to the other breeding recipe information 8 of the same user, and acquires information on the other ingredients of the user from the result information 82 of the breeding recipe information 8.

  The menu proposal unit 202 searches the cooking site of the server device 5 based on information such as the type of harvest, the harvest amount, the quality, the ingredients on hand, and the like acquired from the breeding recipe information 8, and extracts a menu candidate. .
