In this case, the mobile terminal 30 transmits information such as the input time when the input container information is input, the terminal position of the mobile terminal 30, the field where the grain is harvested, and the like to the agricultural management device 30 together with the input container information. Further, the communication unit 16 of the combine 40 transmits information such as the time of the discharge work (start time, end time, etc.), the machine position of the combine 40, the field where the grain is harvested, etc. to the agricultural management device 30 for each discharge. .. By doing so, the input time, the terminal position, the field, the discharge work time, the machine position, and the like are made common items, and the agricultural management device 60 associates the input container information with the identification information in FIG. As shown in the above, it can be stored in the storage unit 62A as a history database in which the input container information (container information) and the identification information are associated with each other.

By the way, the agricultural management device 60 can estimate the container 11 that discharged the grain at the time of the discharge work by using the supplementary information such as the container information as described above. In addition, the agricultural management device 60 can estimate the container 11 that has discharged grains during the discharge work without using supplementary information such as container information. When the agricultural management device 60 is in the first mode, the grain discharge destination (container 11) at the time of discharge work is estimated by using supplementary information such as container information. When the agricultural management device 60 is in the second mode, the grain discharge destination (container 11) at the time of discharge work is estimated without using supplementary information such as container information. In this embodiment, the agricultural management device 60 has a first mode and a second mode, but the agricultural management device 60 has only the second mode even if it has only the first mode. You may.

The agricultural management device 60 includes an estimation unit 64. The estimation unit 64 is composed of electrical / electronic parts provided in the agricultural management device 60, a program stored in the agricultural management device 60, and the like. The estimation unit 64 can estimate the container 11 at a predetermined discharge based on the identification information obtained for each discharge.
When the agricultural management device 60 is in the first mode, the estimation unit 64 of the container 11 is based on both the identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 61 and the container information acquired by the container information acquisition unit 63. Estimate, that is, estimate the correspondence between the container 11 and the identification information. Further, when the agricultural management device 60 is in the second mode, the estimation unit 64 does not use the container information acquired by the container information acquisition unit 63, but the container is based on the identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 61. Estimate the estimation of 11 (correspondence between the container 11 and the identification information).

First, the operation of the estimation unit 64 when the agricultural management device 60 is in the first mode will be described.
The estimation unit 64 estimates the correspondence between the container 11 (container information) and the identification information based on the combination of the plurality of identification information stored in the storage unit 62A and the container information. As shown in FIG. 6, when at least the history database of the identification information and the container information is stored in the storage unit 62A, the estimation unit 64 first accesses the history database of the storage unit 62A, and a plurality of them for each discharge. Refer to the identification information of. Then, the estimation unit 64 analyzes the pattern of the identification information received by the receiving device 20 with respect to the predetermined container 11 (predetermined container information).

For example, when focusing on a plurality of identification information corresponding to “KUBOTA-1” in FIG. 6, the identification information received by the receiving device 20 during the 1st to 4th discharge operations is “B” and “C”. , "D" is combined 3 times, which is more than the total of 4 times. Therefore, when the estimation unit 64 receives the identification information "B", "C", and "D" at the time of the fourth discharge work, the estimation unit 64 is the first container indicated by "KUBOTA-1". It is estimated that 11A is the discharge destination. That is, the estimation unit 64 generates a pattern (first pattern) of a combination in which the container information is "KUBOTA-1" and the identification information is "B", "C", and "D", and the generated first pattern is generated. One pattern is adopted as the estimation pattern.

Further, when the discharge work is gradually increased and reaches 6 times, the identification information received by the receiving device 20 is the first of "B", "C", and "D" at the time of the 1st to 6th discharge work. In addition to one pattern, the number of times the identification information is "A", "C", and "D" is increasing. Therefore, when the estimation unit 64 receives the identification information "A", "C", and "D" at the time of the sixth discharge work, the estimation unit 64 is the first container indicated by "KUBOTA-1". It is estimated that 11A is the discharge destination. That is, the estimation unit 64 generates a pattern (second pattern) of a combination in which the container information is "KUBOTA-1" and the identification information is "A", "C", and "D", and the generated second pattern is generated. Two patterns are adopted as estimation patterns.

That is, the estimation unit 64 refers to the relationship between the combination of the plurality of identification information and the container information each time the discharge work increases (every time the identification information is accumulated), and the identification information is "B" or "C". , The estimation pattern of the first pattern of "D" and the second pattern of which the identification information is "A", "C", "D" is generated. Although "F", "G", and "H" are included as the identification information received by the receiving device 20 with respect to "KUBOTA-1", any of the first pattern and the second pattern can be used. Since the identification information is different even in the case, the estimation unit 64 processes it as noise and does not incorporate it into the pattern combination.

Similarly, the estimation unit 64 also executes the estimation process for "KUBOTA-2", which is container information different from "KUBOTA-1". As shown in FIG. 6, the third pattern is a combination of the identification information "E", "F", "G", and "H", and the third pattern is a combination of the identification information "E", "G", and "H". Four patterns are generated as estimation patterns, and the generated third pattern and fourth pattern are adopted.

The estimation pattern (first pattern to fourth pattern) generated by the estimation unit 64 may be treated as data in the middle of estimation (data during learning), or the container 11 may be used using the estimation pattern. May be estimated and the estimated container 11 may be adopted as the discharge destination in the actual discharge work.
As described above, the estimation unit 64 is based on the combination of the plurality of identification information and the container information stored in the storage unit 62A each time the harvested product discharge work is repeated (every time the discharge work is performed). The estimation (estimation processing) of the correspondence between 11 and the identification information is repeated. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, even after estimating that the combination of identification information is the first pattern or the second pattern for "KUBOTA-1", the estimation unit 64 will perform each time the discharge operation is performed. Continue the estimation process. Similarly, even after estimating that the combination of identification information is the third pattern or the fourth pattern for "KUBOTA-2", the estimation unit 64 continues the estimation process.

By the way, the estimation unit 64 obtains the correlation coefficient of the first pattern or the correlation coefficient of the second pattern with respect to "KUBOTA-1" in the estimation process. Further, in the estimation process, the correlation coefficient of the third pattern or the correlation coefficient of the fourth pattern with respect to "KUBOTA-2" is obtained. That is, the estimation unit 64 obtains the correlation coefficient in the combination of the plurality of identification information and the container information (first pattern to fourth pattern) for each estimation process. When the correlation coefficient is equal to or higher than the threshold value, for example, the correlation coefficient is 0.4 or higher, preferably 0.7 or higher in each estimation process, a combination of a plurality of preset identification information and container information (for estimation). It is determined that the pattern) indicates the correspondence between the container 11 (first container 11A, second container 11B) and the identification information.

For example, when the correlation coefficient of the first pattern and the second pattern exceeds the threshold value when the discharge work reaches 10 times, or when the receiving device 20 receives the identification information of the first pattern or the second pattern. , The estimation unit 64 determines that the grain has been discharged into the first container 11A indicated by "KUBOTA-1". In other words, the agricultural management device 60 ends the learning of the estimation process of the first container 11A using the container information (supplementary information) obtained from the mobile terminal 30. Here, when the learning of the estimation process of the first container 11A is completed, the agricultural management device 60 switches from the first mode to the second mode, and the container information is not used at least in the estimation process of the first container 11A. Move to processing.

Further, when the correlation coefficient of the third pattern and the fourth pattern exceeds the threshold value when the discharge work reaches 15 times, or when the receiving device 20 receives the identification information of the third pattern or the fourth pattern. , The estimation unit 64 determines that the grain has been discharged into the second container 11B indicated by "KUBOTA-2". In other words, the agricultural management device 60 ends the learning of the estimation process of the second container 11B using the container information (supplementary information) obtained from the mobile terminal 30. Here, when the learning of the estimation process of the second container 11B is completed, the agricultural management device 60 switches from the first mode to the second mode, and the container information is not used at least in the estimation process of the second container 11B. Move to processing.

In the second mode, the estimation unit 64 compares the acquired identification information with the first pattern to the fourth pattern after the identification information acquisition unit 61 acquires the identification information, and the discharge destination container 11 is the first. It is determined whether the container 11A or the second container 11B is used. For example, when the identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 61 matches the first pattern or the second pattern, the estimation unit 64 determines that the container 11 is the first container 11A, and the first If it matches the 3rd pattern or the 4th pattern, it is determined to be the 2nd container 11B. Even if the identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 61 does not completely match the first pattern to the fourth pattern, if they are similar to these, it is the first container 11A or the second container 11B. To decide.

According to the above, the container 11 which is the discharge destination of the grain can be estimated by using the container information input to the mobile terminal 30 and the identification information transmitted by the communication device 10.
When the learning of the estimation process of the container 11 corresponding to the container information registered corresponding to the mobile terminal 30 is completed, the agricultural management device 60 is, for example, at least the first container 11A and the second container 11B. When the learning of any of the estimation processes is completed, the mobile terminal 30 is notified.

The agricultural management device 60 has a notification unit 65A. The notification unit 65A is composed of electrical / electronic parts provided in the agricultural management device 60, a program stored in the agricultural management device 60, and the like. As described above, the notification unit 65A is a mobile terminal when the estimation unit 64 finishes learning the estimation process (when the correlation coefficient indicating the correlation between the plurality of identification information and the container information is equal to or greater than the threshold value). Notify 30 that it is not necessary to input the container information.

When the mobile terminal 30 obtains from the agricultural management device 60 that the learning of the estimation process for the first container 11A is completed, that is, that the container information does not need to be input, at least the selection screen M1 shows the container information. The "KUBOTA-1" cannot be input to the mobile terminal 30 without displaying the "KUBOTA-1". Similarly, when the mobile terminal 30 acquires from the agricultural management device 60 that the input of "KUBOTA-2" is unnecessary, the mobile terminal 30 does not display the container information "KUBOTA-2" at least on the selection screen M1. Prevents "KUBOTA-2" from being input to the mobile terminal 30. Further, when the mobile terminal 30 acquires that "KUBOTA-1" and "KUBOTA-2" do not need to be input, the mobile terminal 30 does not display the selection screen M1 itself.

Therefore, the mobile terminal 30 receives the notification from the agricultural management device 60 and stops accepting the container information.
Further, the notification unit 65A notifies the processing equipment of the container 11 estimated by the estimation unit 64. The processing equipment is equipment for processing the harvested product, and when the harvested product is grain as described above, the processing equipment is the grain processing equipment 100. The grain processing facility 100 includes a receiving machine for receiving grains, a dryer for drying grains, a cooling tank for releasing grains, a hulling machine for hulling grains, a color sorter for selecting color of grains, and weighing of grains. It is a measuring instrument etc. The grain processing facility 100 is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and the grain processing facility 100 is equipped with all of a load receiving machine, a dryer, a cooling tank, a padding machine, a color selector, and a measuring instrument. It is not necessary to be present, and the device to be installed in the grain processing facility 100 may be selected according to the processing of the grain.

For example, when the discharge work is completed, the container information and the identification information of the container 11 in the discharge work are transmitted to the agricultural management device 60, and the estimation unit 64 estimates the container 11 based on the container information and the identification information. In this case, the notification unit 65A notifies the grain processing equipment 100 of the estimation result, that is, the container information of the container 11 in the discharge work. According to this, when the container 11 that has completed the discharge work is transported toward the grain processing facility 100, it is possible to grasp in advance which container 11 is being transported on the grain processing facility 100 side. can.

The agricultural management device 60 includes a display control unit 68. The display control unit 68 is composed of electrical / electronic parts provided in the agricultural management device 60, a program stored in the agricultural management device 60, and the like. The display control unit 68 displays the container information of the container 11 indicated by the correspondence relationship estimated by the estimation unit 64. After the estimation unit 64 estimates the container 11, the display control unit 68 issues a command for transmitting the estimated container information of the container 11 to the agricultural management device 60, and the agricultural management device 60 sends the estimated container information to the mobile terminal 30. Is transmitted to the container information, so that the container information is displayed on the mobile terminal 30. For example, when the mobile terminal 30 is connected to the agricultural management device 60 and then requests the agricultural management device 60 to display the container information, the display control unit 68 responds to the request of the mobile terminal 30 as shown in FIG. Then, the container screen M4 is displayed. For example, when the estimation unit 64 determines that the container 11 is the first container 11A, the display control unit 68 displays KUBOTA-1 as container information corresponding to the first container 11A on the container screen M4. As a result, the container information of the container 11 estimated by the estimation unit 64 can be displayed on the mobile terminal 30.

FIG. 8A is a flowchart showing the flow in the above-mentioned grain discharge operation. In FIG. 8A, the explanation will proceed assuming that the agricultural management device 60 is initially in the first mode.
As shown in FIG. 8, the mobile terminal 30 is operated to determine the container information as the discharge destination on the selection screen M1 (S1), and the container information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 30 to the combine 40 (S2). Further, after operating the remote controller 55 to move the discharge unit 49 onto the predetermined container 11 at the discharge destination, the discharge start button is operated to start the discharge of grains (S3). The start of grain discharge (S3) and the selection (S1) and transmission (S2) of container information may be reversed.

The receiving device 20 of the combine 40 receives the identification information from the communication device 10 to acquire the identification information at the time of the discharge operation (S4). In addition, the grain characteristic information measured by the measuring device 47 of the combine 40 is acquired (S5). The grain characteristic information may be measured by the measuring device 47 at the time of harvesting the grain, or the combine 40 may acquire the grain characteristic information before the discharge operation.

The communication unit 16 of the combine 40 operates the discharge end button of the remote controller 55 to finish the discharge of the grain (S6), and then transmits the identification information, the grain characteristic information, and the container information obtained in the discharge work to the agricultural management device 60. (S7).
The identification information acquisition unit 61 of the agricultural management device 60 acquires the identification information transmitted from the communication unit 16 (S8), and the container information acquisition unit 63 acquires the container information transmitted from the communication unit 16 (S9). .. The storage unit 62A of the agricultural management device 60 stores the identification information and the container information in association with each other (S10). The estimation unit 64 estimates the container 11 at the time of discharge work based on the combination of the plurality of identification information with reference to the storage unit 62A (S11). Here, in the estimation of the container 11, if the correlation coefficient between the plurality of identification information and the container information is not equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value (S12, No), the estimation unit 64 uses the container input to the mobile terminal 30. The container 11 indicated by the information is determined as the discharge destination (S13). After the discharge destination (container 11, container information) is determined (after S13), the agricultural management device 60 transmits the determined discharge destination (container 11, container information) to the processing facility for processing the harvested product. , It is stored in the storage unit 62A of the agricultural management device 60 together with the time (time) of the discharge work, or is transmitted to the mobile terminal 30.

Further, when the correlation coefficient between the plurality of identification information and the container information is not equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value (S12, No), the agricultural management device 60 maintains the first mode and repeats the discharge operation again (S1). ~ S10 is repeated), the estimation process is continued in S11 while accumulating the correspondence between the identification information obtained at the time of the discharge work and the container information of the container 11 in the storage unit 62A each time the discharge work is performed.

On the other hand, when the correlation coefficient between the plurality of identification information and the container information is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value (S12, Yes), the combination of the plurality of identification information and the container information having the correlation coefficient equal to or higher than the threshold value is used. A pattern is generated as an estimation pattern, and the correspondence between the pattern and the container information is registered as registration information in the registration database of the storage unit 62A (S14). As shown in FIG. 6, for example, as described above, when there is a lot of identification information indicated by "A", "C", and "D" with respect to "KUBOTA-1" and the correlation coefficient is equal to or more than the threshold value. Generates "A", "C", and "D" as the first pattern. Similarly, when there is a lot of identification information indicated by "B", "C", and "D" for "KUBOTA-1" and the correlation coefficient is equal to or more than the threshold value, "B", "C", and "D" "D" is generated as the second pattern. The relationship between the first pattern and the second pattern and "KUBOTA-1" is stored in the registration database of the storage unit 62A as registration information.

The agricultural management device 60 notifies the mobile terminal 30 that it is not necessary to input the container information (S15). The estimation unit 64 determines the container 11 of the container information estimated in the estimation process (S11) as the discharge destination (S16). After the discharge destination (container 11, container information) is determined (after S16), the agricultural management device 60 uses the discharge destination (container 11, container information) as the processing facility in the same manner as after S13 described above. It is transmitted, stored in the storage unit 62A of the agricultural management device 60 together with the time (time) of the discharge work, or transmitted to the mobile terminal 30. The estimation pattern generation (S14), input-free notification (S15), and discharge destination determination (S16) are not limited to the above-mentioned order, and the order may be arbitrarily changed, and all combinations are applicable. It is possible.

FIG. 8B is a flowchart showing a flow in the grain discharge work when the agricultural management device 60 is switched from the first mode to the second mode. As shown in FIG. 8B, in the second mode, S1 and S2 shown in FIG. 8A are not performed, and the grain discharge operation is started from S3. Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, S4 to S6 are the same as those in FIG. 8A.
The communication unit 16 of the combine 40 operates the discharge end button of the remote controller 55 to finish the discharge of the grain (S6), and then transmits the identification information and the grain characteristic information obtained in the discharge work to the agricultural management device 60 (S20). )
The identification information acquisition unit 61 of the agricultural management device 60 acquires the identification information transmitted from the communication unit 16 (S21). The estimation unit 64 compares the identification information (referred to as acquisition identification information) acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 61 with the estimation pattern of the registration information stored in the storage unit 62A as the registration database (S22), and acquires the acquisition identification information. The container information associated with the estimation pattern that matches the above is extracted, and the container 11 corresponding to the extracted container information is determined as the discharge destination (S23). For example, when the acquired identification information is "A", "C", "D", the first storage of the container information "KUBOTA-1" corresponding to the acquired identification information "A", "C", "D". The vessel 11A is determined as the discharge destination.

In S23 described above, the estimation unit 64 describes the case where the acquisition identification information and the identification information indicated by the estimation pattern completely match, but the acquisition identification information is indicated by the estimation pattern. If all of the identification information is included, the container 11 corresponding to the estimation pattern may be determined as the discharge destination. For example, even if the identification information of the estimation pattern is "A", "C", "D", while the acquisition identification information is "A", "B", "C", "D". Since the acquired identification information "A", "B", "C", and "D" include all of the identification information "A", "C", and "D" of the estimation pattern, the estimation pattern The first container 11A of the container information "KUBOTA-1" corresponding to the identification information "A", "C", "D" may be determined as the discharge destination.

Then, after the discharge destination (container 11, container information) is determined (after S23), the agricultural management device 60 transmits the discharge destination (container 11, container information) to the processing facility, or the agricultural management device 60. It is stored in the storage unit 62A of the above together with the time (time) of the discharging work, or transmitted to the mobile terminal 30. If the discharge destination can be estimated from the acquired identification information, the acquired identification information may be added to the history database of the container information of the discharge destination and stored in the storage unit 62A.

According to this, the container information of the container 11 is input to the mobile terminal 30 at the time of discharging the grain to the container 11 (when the grain is stored in the container 11), while the communication device 10 is used. While acquiring the identification information transmitted from the above, the estimation unit 64 can estimate the correspondence between the identification information acquired at the time of the discharge operation and the container information of the container 11. Further, by repeating the grasping of the relationship between the identification information with respect to the container information of the container 11 and the estimation work by the estimation unit 64, the estimation accuracy of the container 11 by the estimation unit 64 is further improved. be able to.

According to this, when it is possible to grasp what the identification information is with respect to the container information of the specific container 11, it is possible to eliminate the need for inputting the container information by the mobile terminal 30.
Further, the container information acquisition unit 63 stops the acquisition of the container information when the correlation coefficient indicating the correlation between the plurality of identification information and the container information is equal to or greater than the threshold value. According to this, the load of the container information acquisition unit 63 in the agricultural management system or the agricultural management device 60 can be reduced.
