Description

The present invention relates to a system that supports the production and distribution of horticultural products such as flowers and vegetables by information and communication technology.

It is desired to promote the sales of shipping groups and improve the income of producers by making it possible to stably supply garden products in a timely manner, in an appropriate amount, in an appropriate quality, and at an appropriate price. In addition, each producer carries out individual production activities, and it is difficult to control the environment and adjust the growth status of horticultural products to the cultivation plan in open-field cultivation. The reality is that it is not possible to guarantee supply at a predetermined time, quantity, and quality, and it is difficult for producers to achieve distribution at an appropriate price.

Various services that support agriculture by information and communication technology are provided, but most of them realize a stable supply for facility cultivation where environmental control is easy in order to grow according to the cultivation plan. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1), open-field cultivation in which environmental control is difficult is not applicable.

In addition, some horticultural products, such as Buddhist flowers and carnations, have extremely high demand on the day of the festival (Obon, equinoctial week, and Mother's Day), and the price drops sharply outside that period. It has been proposed to change the growing conditions such as light irradiation time and ambient temperature so that the plants can be shipped according to a specific day (see, for example, Patent Document 2), but this is also a plant cultivation system with easy environmental control. Is assumed.

In this way, when it is difficult for the production side to provide a stable supply, the market side will devise a mechanism for selecting a supplier and determining a price (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-10117 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-026344 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-0222524

As mentioned above, even if it is an open-field cultivation where environmental control is difficult, if it is left to the adjustment function on the market side, it will be difficult to secure high-quality products and respond to the day, so both the actual consumer and the producer. , Needs improvement. For improvement, it is desirable for the production side to be able to assure the supply at a predetermined time, quantity and quality.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the following description shows specific examples of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention.

In an embodiment according to the principle of the present invention described above, after an event occurs in the cultivation of the variety, information regarding the date and quantity of the event is input, and the estimated shipping date and the estimated shipping quantity are calculated based on the information. When the next event occurs in the cultivation of the variety and information on at least the date of the next event is input, a new scheduled shipping date and a planned shipping quantity are calculated based on the information, and the new shipping schedule is calculated. The overall shipping forecast may be revised based on the date and the planned shipping quantity.

This makes it possible to predict the shipment in real time according to the growth stage of the horticultural product, and the accuracy of the prediction can be improved as the cultivation of each producer approaches the shipment.

For example, as the above-mentioned event, if planting and stopping flowering suppression (for example, turning off the lighting that was lit or stopping the periodical spraying of ethylene gas, flowering is promoted thereafter. , When the lights are turned off or the end of spraying corresponds to the event of stopping flowering suppression), the information on the growth characteristics is the information on the number of days starting from the planting and the number of days starting from the stopping of flowering suppression. The information is included, and the estimated shipping date calculated based on the information on the date when the planting was actually performed and the information on the growth characteristics is used as the information on the date when the flowering suppression was actually stopped. And the new estimated shipping date may be calculated based on the information on the growth characteristics.

Further, for example, the producer who uses this device from a plurality of events (for example, buds, membrane splitting, dew removal, etc.) in which the information on the growth characteristics corresponds to the growth stage of the flower bud after the stop of flowering suppression. Or, the shipment calculated based on the information on the date when the flowering suppression was actually stopped and the information on the growth characteristics are included so as to include the information on the number of days starting from each of the events (events designated by the shipping organization). The scheduled date may be modified by calculating a new scheduled shipping date based on the information on the date when each event actually occurred and the information on the growth characteristics.

In this way, it is possible to further improve the accuracy of shipment forecast by having information on growth characteristics, which is information on each of the periods divided into a plurality of periods in relation to the event occurring in cultivation, for many periods. become.

In the embodiment according to the principle of the present invention described above, the information on the growth characteristics is made to include information indicating the increase or decrease in the number of days until harvest by adopting a non-standard cultivation method, and the cultivation of the varieties is used as the input means. Including a means for inputting information on the cultivation method adopted in the above, the input information on the cultivation method and the stored information indicating the increase / decrease are used in the calculation of the scheduled shipping date. Means may be included.

As a result, when the standard cultivation method was adopted (for example, when the core was picked as the tailoring method, the rooted seedlings were harvested as the planting method, and no re-illumination was used as the lighting method), the information on the growth characteristics was used. Not only will it be possible to predict shipments, but if a non-standard method is used in actual cultivation (for example, if no core is used as the tailoring method, or if direct insertion is used as the planting method, or as an electric lighting method. Even in the case of re-illumination), it is possible to make highly accurate shipment forecasts according to the cultivation method.

When pinching is used as the tailoring method and rooted seedlings are used as the planting method, the number of harvested products (flowers) can be predicted based on the number of tailored seedlings multiplied by the number of seedlings actually planted. .. Therefore, the standard number of tailored pieces may be included in the information on the growth characteristics, and this information may be used to predict the planned shipping quantity.

In an embodiment according to the principle of the present invention described above, the information on the growth characteristics is made to include information on the harvest distribution indicating how many days from the start of harvesting the harvested product is obtained, and the above-mentioned variety. From the time when an event before the start of the harvest occurs in cultivation and information on the date and quantity of the event is input, the expected shipping date and the planned shipping quantity are calculated using the harvest distribution information. You may.

As a result, when the same variety planted by the same producer or field on the same day and cultivated by the same method is harvested over multiple days, how many harvested products can be obtained on which day. It becomes possible to predict whether or not it will be produced on a daily basis. For example, it is possible to create a shipping plan and a production plan, which will be described later, so that a large amount of harvested products can be obtained on the day of the day.

In an embodiment according to the principle of the present invention described above, the device includes information on the harvest distribution indicating how many days from the start of harvest the harvested product is obtained. , The harvest of the varieties based on the means for inputting the information regarding the shipping plan of the harvested product of the varieties by each producer or the field, the input information regarding the shipping plan, and the stored information of the harvest distribution. Based on the means for calculating the planned shipping date and the planned shipping quantity of the goods and the planned shipping date and the planned shipping quantity calculated for each of the plurality of producers or fields, how much of the quantity is said on which day as a whole. Further, a means for outputting whether or not the harvested product of the variety is planned to be shipped may be provided, and the shipping plan by each producer or the field may be changed after the output of the overall plan.

As a result, for example, in a shipping organization that manages multiple producers, each producer is asked to submit rough shipping plan information (for example, one estimated shipping date for each variety), and information on growth characteristics. Based on this, it becomes possible to visualize on a daily basis how many harvested products will be obtained on which day as a whole, and a sufficient amount of harvested products to be sold on the day. It will also be possible to fine-tune the shipping plans of each producer in line with the purpose of ensuring that.

Here, the information on the harvest distribution is used to indicate on what day and how much of the harvested product is obtained for each classification representing at least one of the quality and size of the flowers to be harvested. The shipping forecast or shipping plan output may be performed for each of the above categories.

As a result, for example, for each standard (quality, size, etc.) used when selling horticultural products, information on growth characteristics can be used to make highly accurate shipment forecasts, and for shipping plans and production plans. It becomes possible to create.

In an embodiment according to the principle of the present invention described above, the apparatus inputs information on the shipping plan of each producer or field for the variety, the input information on the shipping plan, and the stored growth characteristics. Based on the information in the above, the planned date and the planned quantity of the event in the cultivation of the above varieties may be calculated, and a means for outputting as a production plan of each producer or field may be further provided.

This makes it possible, for example, to create a production plan that indicates when and what each producer should do in cultivation based on the shipping plan of each producer and information on growth characteristics, so that efficient cultivation can be achieved. You will be able to do it. As described above, the shipping plan of each producer used here may be the one after fine adjustment while observing the overall shipping plan.

Reference information for the above device to correct the stored information on the growth characteristics based on the comparison between the calculated scheduled date and quantity of the event and the input information regarding the date and quantity. Further means for outputting may be provided.

In an embodiment according to the principles of the invention described above, the device was calculated such that the input means include means for inputting information about the actual harvest date and quantity, with the harvest of the variety as the event. Further provided is a means for outputting reference information for correcting the stored information on the growth characteristics based on the comparison between the planned shipping date and the planned shipping quantity and the input information on the harvest date and quantity. You may do so.

By using these reference information, for example, based on the cultivation results, it is possible to improve the information on the growth characteristics so as to be more suitable for the actual situation, and further improve the accuracy of the shipment prediction and the like.

In an embodiment according to the principle of the present invention described above, the storage means stores the information on the growth characteristics as being different depending on the shipping time, and the calculation means is the cultivation belonging to the event that actually occurred. The planned shipping date and the planned shipping quantity may be calculated by using the information on the growth characteristics suitable for the shipping time.

This makes it possible to further identify and manage the growth characteristics of each variety for each season, and to perform highly accurate shipment forecasts in consideration of seasonal differences. The improvement of the growth characteristics using the above reference information may change the way of arranging the timing.

In an embodiment according to the principle of the present invention described above, the memorizing means stores the information on the growth characteristics as being different for each producer or field, and the calculating means belongs to the event that actually occurred. The planned shipping date and the planned shipping quantity may be calculated by using the information on the growing characteristics suitable for the producer or the field where the cultivation is carried out.

This makes it possible to further identify and manage the growth characteristics of each variety by region, and to perform highly accurate shipment forecasts in consideration of regional differences. The improvement of growth characteristics using the above reference information may change the way the area is organized.

Hereinafter, as an example, the shipping forecast system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, this system can be used by a terminal 201 (s) such as a personal computer that can be used by a shipping organization that manages a plurality of producers (farmers), and by each producer. It can be provided as a shipping prediction system 101 in a data center 100 that can be connected to terminals 301, 302, 303, ... (Hereinafter referred to as 301 as a representative) such as smartphones via a network 400 such as the Internet (hereinafter, referred to as 301). Example of FIG. 2).

Shipping organizations and producers who use this system can share the growth characteristics (variety characteristics) of each variety of horticultural products stored in the system. The variety characteristics include information about each of the periods (cultivation stages) divided into a plurality of periods related to the events occurring in cultivation, and the information specified by the shipping organization and the producer is input (Fig. 1 (1), Fig. 1). 3 product characteristic input unit 105), stored (product characteristic database 110 in FIG. 3), and centrally managed.

The input of the product characteristic information may be performed from the shipping group terminal 201, or may be performed from the product characteristic management terminal 210 provided separately. Further, at first, each producer may input characteristic information about the varieties cultivated by himself / herself from the producer terminal 301, and then integrate and manage this as a system and update it.

As shown in FIG. 3, each terminal includes a data input unit and a data output unit (shipping group terminals 201 are 280 and 290, each producer terminal 301 is 380 and 390, and is for characteristic management. Terminals 210 are 260 and 270). These data input units and data output units may be configured by a browser using this system as a server.

From each producer, the varieties to be cultivated by the terminal 301 and the planned shipping date (the shipping time may have a certain range such as month, season, week, etc.) are input by the terminal 301 (FIG. 1 (2). ), The shipping plan schedule input unit 115) in FIG. 3 and this system create an overall shipping plan (number of shipping plans per day, etc.) using the product characteristics stored in the product characteristic database 110 (FIG. 3). 1 (3), the shipping plan creating unit 120 in FIG. 3), and storing (shipping plan storage unit 125 in FIG. 3). Each producer may enter a different shipping time for each field, and the variety characteristics may also be stored as different for each field.

On the other hand, the shipping organization inputs the sales plan as a whole by the terminal 201 (sales plan schedule input unit 130 in FIGS. 1 (4) and 3). When the shipping organization compares this sales plan with the created shipping plan and changes the shipping plan schedule as necessary (shipping plan schedule change unit 135 in FIG. 3), the system again changes the product type characteristics. Create an overall shipping plan using. When the finalization of the created shipping plan is instructed, the finalized shipping plan is stored in the shipping plan storage unit 125. The system may collate the sales plan with the shipping plan and change the shipping plan schedule, and present the change candidates to the shipping organization.

The finalized shipping plan includes the shipping plan of each producer (which may be different for each field), from which the system stores the production plan of each producer in the variety characteristic database 110. It is created using the characteristics of each product (Sales plan creation unit 140 in FIG. 1 (6) and FIG. 3) and stored (Production plan storage unit 150 in FIG. 3). Then, this system outputs the production plan created for each producer to each producer terminal 301 (production plan output unit 145 in FIG. 3), and each producer has a production plan (different for each field). It may be possible to proceed with the cultivation of the varieties according to the above.

As each producer proceeds with cultivation, information on the date and quantity of each event is input via the terminal 301 according to the fact that the event actually occurred (the stage was advanced) (Fig.). 1 (7), the cultivation record input unit 160) in FIG. 3, and this system, the input information and the information about the period related to the event that actually occurred among the variety characteristics stored in the variety characteristic database 110. Based on the above, the scheduled shipping date and the planned shipping quantity are calculated again (shipment forecast calculation unit 165 in FIGS. 1 (8) and 3). This calculation (prediction) may also be performed for each field.

Based on the above-mentioned calculation results for each producer, this system predicts how much quantity of harvested products of the relevant variety can be shipped as a whole on what day, and in real time each time the actual value is input. The forecast result is updated to (Shipment forecast storage unit 170 in FIG. 3). The update result is presented to the shipping organization each time (shipment forecast output unit 175 in FIG. 3), which enables the shipping organization to carry out sales activities utilizing more accurate shipping forecast. As the growing stage progresses, the estimated shipping value is recalculated according to the situation, so that the accuracy of the shipping forecast increases as the shipping time approaches.

The actual value input by the cultivation record input unit 160 is stored in the cultivation history storage unit 180, and is compared and analyzed with the production plan created by using the variety characteristics to improve the variety characteristics based on the cultivation results. (Fig. 1 (9), product type characteristic confirmation unit 185 in Fig. 3). The reviewed product characteristics are stored in the product characteristic database 110 from the terminal 210 or the like via the product characteristic input unit 105, and are utilized in the next cycle (FIGS. 1 (2) to (9)).

Each functional unit of FIG. 3 described above may be configured as software, hardware, or a combination thereof.

FIGS. 4 to 5 illustrate the data structure of the variety characteristics in the variety characteristic database 110. This example is an example in which horticultural products are used as harvested products and cut flowers are used as harvested products. In the example of FIG. 4A, in addition to each variety, each region (may be a region where the growth characteristics of the variety are broadly grouped or each field) and each shipping time (standard shipping time). In the case of shipping times other than the above, the information on the cultivation period (FIG. 4 (b)) can be managed in the case where the same variety is managed as having different growth characteristics). Furthermore, regarding the variation of harvest days, the variation of grade (quality of excellent, excellent, good, outside, etc.) and the variation of class (size of 3L or more, 2L, L, M, S, SS or less) (Fig. 5). Is also manageable.

FIG. 6 illustrates a screen displayed on a terminal 210 or the like in order to input the above-mentioned product characteristics. Here, it is treated as one item for each production organization (producer or field or group of multiple producers), year and variety. First, at the top of the screen, specify the product type (when you press the "Browse" button, the product type selection screen is activated and you can specify the product type) and the period (specify the standard or otherwise specify the shipping period by month and day). ) Is entered. The standard product characteristics must be entered, and in addition, different product characteristics can be set according to the shipping time, but the same product cannot be input with duplicate date and time. And.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the variety characteristics of this example are the number of growing days when either picking or non-picking is specified for each variety as the standard tailoring method and a non-standard tailoring method is adopted. (If a negative number of days is specified, it will be subtracted from the standard number of days, and so on). In addition, as a standard planting method, it is possible to directly insert each variety, specify one of the rooted seedlings, and specify the additional number of growing days when a non-standard planting method is adopted.

In the case of asterids, the flowering time can be adjusted by lighting technology or ethylene gas spraying technology. In other words, while the lights are on or the ethylene gas is sprayed regularly, flowering is suppressed, and when the lights are turned off or the ethylene gas spraying is stopped, flowering starts from there. Will start to grow. Here, after the lights are turned off for flowering, the flowers may be turned on again to suppress the flowering in order to postpone the shipping time.

This is called re-illumination, and as shown in FIG. 4A, the variety characteristics of this example specify whether or not re-illumination is performed (presence or absence of re-illumination) as a standard, and non-standard is adopted. It is possible to specify the additional amount of growing days in the case of.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the variety characteristic of this example allows the yield rate of the entire variety to be specified. By multiplying the number of planted seedlings by the number of tailored seedlings, which will be described later, and multiplying the result by the yield rate, it is possible to calculate the planned number of shipments and the number of expected shipments.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the variety characteristics of this example can specify the total number of days from the planting date to each step and the total number of days from the extinguishing date to each step as the cultivation period. In addition, as for the variety characteristics of this example, the standard number of tailored flowers can also be specified (1 is specified for convenience in the case of non-picking, and as many flowers as the number of tailored flowers can be obtained in the case of picking. Strains that have grown to a certain height are cut to make multiple branches that grow from the cut surface).

As shown in FIG. 5, in the variety characteristics of this example, the shipping date, grade and class can be specified, and the cultivation rate according to the shipping date, grade and class is input as a percentage. After inputting, in the example of FIG. 6, the total value (grade meter, total, grade + class meter) is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

In managing the shipping plan, the shipping organization first creates a sales plan according to the demand forecast. A screen displayed on the shipping group terminal 201 for inputting the sales plan is illustrated in FIG. If you want to enter a sales plan for a new variety of the year's crop, enter the variety at the top of the screen. Then, select "monthly / seasonal / weekly / daily" for each product type, enter the number of sales plans for the relevant period, and press the "register" button.

If you press the "New input" button on the screen that displays the list of sales plans (not shown), the screen will change to the sales plan input screen described above, select a sales plan in the list, and click the "Edit" button. When you press, the screen may change to the sales plan input screen for the corresponding product.

On the other hand, each producer reports the schedule of its own shipping plan to the shipping organization for each field, shipping time, and variety. A screen displayed on each producer terminal 301 for each producer to input the information into the system is illustrated in FIG. This input may be performed by the shipping organization on behalf of the shipping organization (each producer reports to the shipping organization on a paper basis), in which case a similar input screen is displayed on the shipping organization terminal 201.

In the example of FIG. 8, the information input as the schedule of the shipping plan is the field (may be selected from the field list managed for each producer or may be manually input), the shipping time (monthly, seasonal unit). , Weekly or daily, a list corresponding to it may be displayed and the time may be selected from among them), varieties (when varieties are specified, flower shape / color It may be displayed automatically), the tailoring method, the shipping amount, the planting method, and the presence or absence of re-illumination.

For the tailoring method, planting method, and presence / absence of re-illumination, the standard method obtained from the input field, shipping time, and variety characteristics specified by the variety is displayed as the initial value, and when a method different from the standard is adopted. You may want to reselect. As the tailoring method, select either unpicked or picked, and in the case of picking, enter the number of tailored pieces (display the number of variety characteristics as the initial value, and enter it if the number is different from that. You may try to fix it).

After selecting whether to express the shipment amount by the number of planted seedlings or the number of shipments, the corresponding number is input. When expressed in terms of the number of planted seedlings, the number of seedlings shipped is the number obtained by multiplying the number of tailored seedlings by the number of planted seedlings and the yield rate of cultivar characteristics. Instead of the number of shipments (the number after multiplying the yield rate), the planned number (corresponding to the number of planted seedlings multiplied by the number of tailored seedlings) may be selected and input.

As a planting method, either direct insertion or rooting seedlings are selected, and with or without re-illumination, either with or without re-illumination is selected. When a non-standard tailoring method (no plucking in this example) was selected, a non-standard planting method (direct insertion in this example) was selected to reflect the number of days set in the tailoring method for the variety characteristics. In this case, the number of days set for the planting method of the variety characteristics is reflected, and when the presence / absence of non-standard re-illumination (yes in this example) is selected, the number of days set for the re-illumination of the variety characteristics is reflected. Then, the planned shipping date is calculated.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a method of calculating the planned shipping date and the planned number of shipments (per day) based on the information input in FIG. 8 and the information on the characteristics of the variety. By aggregating the shipping plan information calculated in this way, it is possible to visualize how many harvested products of which grade and class can be obtained on which day as a whole, and the shipment is as shown in the example of FIG. It is displayed on the screen of the group terminal 201.

The shipping organization compares the visualized overall shipping plan with the sales plan, and if adjustment of the shipping plan is necessary, the shipping organization and the producer consult with each other. In the example of FIG. 10, as search conditions for specifying the shipping plan to be displayed, the type / color / flower shape / variety (when the "reference" button is pressed, the variety selection screen is activated and the variety can be specified) and the shipment. Time (specify the start date and end date from the calendar function respectively), grade (specify excellent, excellent, good, outside using "equal to", "advanced", "lower"), and class (3L or more, 2L, L, M, S, SS or less are specified by using "equal to", "greater than", and "less than") can be used.

The search conditions also include producers (when you press the "Browse" button, the producer selection screen is launched and you can specify the producer), and you can also search and display the shipping plan for each producer. You can also view aggregated shipping plans for multiple producers. As a method of designating a plurality of producers, for example, a user of a federation may be able to specify a single cooperative, and a user of a production organization having a group structure may be able to specify a group.

As shown in the lower part of the screen of FIG. 10, the shipping plan can be displayed as a daily bar graph, but when weekly instead of daily is selected as the aggregation unit, the shipping plan is aggregated weekly. It is also possible to display.

The lower part of the screen in FIG. 10 is displayed as a result of pressing the "graph display" button, but when the "list display" is pressed instead, as shown in FIG. 11, each producer / field is displayed in the lower part of the screen. A list of shipping plans (those that meet the above search conditions) for each is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 11, as a list, the variety (color and flower shape are also displayed), the shipping time (the shipping time entered in the upper row, the period in which the shipping time entered in the lower row is expanded by date), and the planned number of shipments are displayed. , Producer / field is displayed.

The shipping organization reviews the shipping plan displayed in FIGS. 10 and 11 while comparing it with the sales plan, and when the changed shipping plan of each producer is agreed between each producer and the shipping organization, the product is shipped. By pressing the "confirm" button on the screen (not shown) of the group terminal 201, the shipping plan is confirmed as the target value of the target yearly production.

Here, as illustrated in FIG. 12, it is possible to create a production plan for each producer by going back in time based on the variety characteristics from the finalized shipment plan of each producer. This production plan can be output as shown in the screen illustrated on the left side of FIG. 13 by selecting from the list on the shipping group terminal 201, or can be output to the terminal 301 of the producer who cultivates according to the production plan. , It is also possible to output as shown in the screen illustrated on the right side of FIG.

In the example of FIG. 13, the plan contents and the harvest schedule are displayed for each production plan unit, and as the plan contents, the planting date (timing) calculated back from the harvest date of the shipping plan, the number of planted seedlings, and the back calculation from the harvest date of the shipping plan. The turn-off date (timing) and the number of planted seedlings, the harvest date (timing) of the shipping plan and the number of harvests are output. The harvest schedule is sorted and output according to the harvest date, grade, and class according to the characteristics of the variety.

When each producer starts actual cultivation, the cultivation status is reported to the shipping organization, and the shipping organization grasps the overall shipping forecast (each producer may share the overall shipping forecast). Since the shipping forecast using the variety characteristics (the initial value is the shipping plan at the time of final confirmation) is revised from moment to moment according to the actual cultivation situation, the accuracy of the shipping forecast can be improved. Furthermore, if the revised shipping forecast deviates from the sales plan, the shipping plan of the producer who starts cultivation later may be adjusted, or the production plan of the producer who is cultivating may be changed (before or after the turn-off date). It is also possible to change the shipping plan, which is the basis of the shipping forecast, to bring it closer to the sales plan by changing the presence or absence of re-illumination.

As illustrated in FIGS. 14 to 17, the cultivation status is reported from each producer to the shipping organization by using the terminal 301 for each producer, or by paper-based or other means of communication. The group may input by proxy through the terminal 201.

In the actual cultivation of each producer, first, seedlings are planted according to the production plan. At this time, the electric light is turned on. Then, the date of planting and the number of seedlings are input via the screen (planting input) illustrated in FIG. 14 (a). When inputting, specify the target shipping plan (specified by the field, shipping time, and variety), and make one item for each planting date.

In the example of FIG. 14A, as input items, varieties (initially display the varieties at the time of planning and automatically display the flower shape / color when the varieties are changed), tailoring method, planting method, and re-illumination. The presence / absence, planting date, and number of planted seedlings are set.

As for the tailoring method, planting method, and presence / absence of re-illumination, the values at the time of planning are displayed as initial values, and if a method different from that is adopted in actual cultivation, the values are re-entered. If the method in actual cultivation is a method other than the standard method, it is added when calculating the estimated shipping date, reflecting the number of days set for each method of variety characteristics.

For the planting date, the date of the day is displayed as the initial value so that it can be changed by the calendar function and input. For the number of planted seedlings, the number of seedlings at the time of planning is displayed as an initial value, and if the number of seedlings is different from that, it is input again.

The screen illustrated in FIG. 14 (b) (unplanned planting input) is used to report the contents to the shipping organization when the producer performs planting that is not in the production plan. The input items here are the same as the input items in FIG. 14A, but since there is no shipping plan, the field, shipping time, and variety are input here for the first time. Also, what is displayed as the initial value is not the value at the time of planning, but the value obtained from the product characteristics.

In the actual cultivation of each producer, pruning is performed when pruning is used as a tailoring method. At this time, the date of pruning and the number of tailors are input via the screen (pruning input) illustrated in FIG. 15A. When inputting, specify the target shipping plan (specified by the field, shipping time, and variety), and make one item for each planting date.

In the example of FIG. 15A, the pruning date and the number of tailored pieces are provided as input items. For the pruning date, the date of the day is displayed as the initial value so that it can be changed by the calendar function and input. For the number of tailored pieces, the number at the time of planning is displayed as an initial value, and if the number is different from that, it is input again.

In the actual cultivation of each producer, the lighting equipment is then turned off. At this time, the date when the light is turned off is input via the screen (light-off input) illustrated in FIG. 15 (b). When inputting, specify the target shipping plan (specified by field, shipping time, variety) and make one item for each extinguishing date (for the same planting date, extinguishing on multiple days) If you do, you will have multiple items).

In the example of FIG. 15B, the extinguishing date and the extinguishing ratio are provided as input items. For the off date, the date of the day is displayed as the initial value so that it can be changed by the calendar function and input. As for the extinguishing ratio, the remaining ratio is displayed as an initial value, and the ratio of the number of planted seedlings that is extinguished on that day is input again. That is, if 100% is displayed at the beginning and half of the lights are actually turned off on that day, enter 50%. Then, when the light is turned off for the other half on the next turn-off day, the details are added by adding a line and the date is input, and the initial display of the remaining ratio of 50% is changed to 25% and input. After that, when all the remaining lights are turned off, details are added by adding lines and the turn-off date is input, and the remaining ratio of 25% is input with the initial display. Inputs with a total exceeding 100% are prohibited.

After the lights are turned off, the buds with buds and the film splits with broken flower membranes are observed, and the screen illustrated in FIG. 16 (a) (bud input) and the screen illustrated in FIG. 16 (b) (membrane), respectively. Enter the dates when they were actually confirmed via the split entry).

In the example of FIG. 16A, the bud date is provided as an input item. When inputting, specify the target shipping plan (specified by field, shipping time, variety) and make one item for each extinguishing date (for the same planting date, extinguishing on multiple days) If you do, the entry fields for the bud days will be displayed for the number of days when the lights are turned off). For the bud date, the date of the day is displayed as the initial value so that it can be changed by the calendar function and input.

In the example of FIG. 16B, the membrane split date is provided as an input item. When inputting, specify the target shipping plan (specified by field, shipping time, variety) and make one item for each extinguishing date (for the same planting date, extinguishing on multiple days) If you do, the input fields for the film split days will be displayed for the number of days when the lights are turned off). For the membrane split date, the date of the day is displayed as an initial value so that it can be changed by the calendar function and input.

After that, when flowering is confirmed in the actual cultivation of each producer, the flowers are harvested and shipped as cut flowers, and the harvest start date is input via the screen (harvest input) illustrated in FIG. 17 (a). , The harvest completion date is input via the screen (harvest input) illustrated in FIG. 17 (b).

When inputting, specify the target shipping plan (specified by field, shipping time, variety) and make one item for each extinguishing date (for the same planting date, extinguishing on multiple days) If so, the input fields for the harvest start date and the harvest completion date will be displayed for the number of days when the lights are turned off). The harvest start date and the harvest completion date are input by displaying the date of the day as an initial value and allowing it to be changed by the calendar function.

In the example of FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b), in addition to the harvest start date and the harvest completion date, the yield rate input field is displayed as input items, and the yield rate is input when the completion date is input. do. The yield rate is displayed with the initial value as 100% when transitioning from the "harvest completed" button, and is input again when the yield is lower than that. In this example, the yield rate is managed for each shipping plan.

It should be noted that the yield may be input for each grade and class via a screen (not shown). As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 22, it becomes possible to improve the cultivar characteristics described later by using the cultivation history including the detailed shipping record.

FIG. 18 shows an example of a method of calculating the expected harvest date and the expected number of harvests on that day (forecasting the future shipment amount for each day) based on the information input in FIGS. 14 to 17 and the information on the cultivar characteristics. Shown in. By aggregating the shipping forecast information calculated in this way, it is possible to visualize with certainty how many harvested products of which grade and class are scheduled to be shipped on which day as a whole. As in the example of FIG. 19, it is displayed on the screen of the shipping group terminal 201. This allows the shipping organization to make bilateral transactions with shipping destinations that can be traded at high prices.

In the example of FIG. 19, as search conditions for specifying the shipping forecast to be displayed, the type / color / flower shape / variety (when the "reference" button is pressed, the variety selection screen is activated and the variety can be specified) and the shipment. Time (specify the start date and end date from the calendar function respectively), grade (specify excellent, excellent, good, outside using "equal to", "advanced", "lower"), and class (3L or more, 2L, L, M, S, SS or less are specified by using "equal to", "greater than", and "less than") can be used.

The search conditions also include producers (when you press the "Browse" button, the producer selection screen is launched and you can specify the producer), and you can also search for and display shipping forecasts for individual producers. It can also display aggregated shipping forecasts for multiple producers. As a method of designating a plurality of producers, for example, a user of a federation may be able to specify a single cooperative, and a user of a production organization having a group structure may be able to specify a group.

In the search for the shipment forecast of FIG. 19, the process specified by making it possible to select any of the planting date, the extinguishing date, the bud date, the membrane splitting date, and the harvest start date as the start point / end point. It is also possible to display the prediction result only from the process to the process. In addition, it is possible to select whether to display the shipping forecast for the whole including unplanned planting or to display the shipping forecast for the portion excluding unplanned planting.

The shipping forecast is updated according to the actual growth situation and can be displayed as a daily bar graph as shown in the lower part of the screen in FIG. 19, but when weekly is selected instead of daily as the aggregation unit. It is also possible to display weekly aggregated shipping forecasts.

In the example of FIG. 19, when the shipment forecast is aggregated daily and displayed as a graph, the one up to the harvest start report (the shipment forecast based on the harvest start is the aggregate of the quantity corresponding to the target date), the film split. Those that were up to the confirmation report (there is no report on the process after film splitting, but the total quantity of the shipment forecast corresponding to the target date), and those that were up to the bud confirmation report (although there is no report on the process after bud development) Only the quantity for which the shipment forecast corresponds to the target date), the one for which there was a light-off implementation report (there is no report on the process after the light-off, but the total number for which the shipment forecast corresponds to the target date), and the planting implementation report only. Items (there is no report on the process after planting, but the total quantity of the shipment forecast corresponding to the target date) are displayed separately. In this order, the uncertainties that exist before the shipment of the harvested product are reduced, so it is expected that the prediction accuracy will be higher. Therefore, by displaying them separately, the accuracy of future shipments can be predicted in more detail. It is also possible to do.

In the example of FIG. 19, in addition to the bar graph described above, the quantity in the sales plan initially input by the shipping organization and the quantity in the shipping plan at the time of final confirmation are displayed as line graphs, so that the actual cultivation status is displayed. It is possible to immediately notice when the shipping forecast based on the above deviates from the original plan.

Further, in the example of FIG. 19, when "current" is selected as the shipping plan, the most recently updated shipping forecast is displayed, and when "time of finalizing the shipping plan" (not shown) is selected, FIG. 10 A considerable shipping plan (corresponding to the line graph showing the shipping plan at the time of final confirmation) is displayed, and this switching also compares the shipping forecast based on the actual cultivation situation with the original plan. It is possible to do.

The lower part of the screen in FIG. 19 is displayed as a result of pressing the "graph display" button, but when the "list display" is pressed instead, as shown in FIG. 20, each producer / field is displayed in the lower part of the screen. A list of shipping forecasts (those that match the above search conditions) for each is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 20, as a list, the variety (color and flower shape are also displayed), the expected harvest date (the harvest date estimated from the current growing condition), and the expected number of harvests (the number of harvests estimated from the current growing condition). , Producer / field is displayed. In addition, the planned shipping date and the planned number of shipments are also displayed for comparison.

The details of the shipping forecast (and the corresponding shipping plan) selected in the list of FIG. 20 can be displayed on the shipping group terminal 201 as shown in the screen illustrated in FIG. The contents of FIG. 21 can be displayed on the producer terminal 301 in the same manner as the screen illustrated on the right side of FIG.

In the example of FIG. 21, the plan content, the growth status, and the harvest schedule are displayed in the shipping plan unit, and the same plan content as the shipping plan of FIG. 13 is output.

As the growth status of FIG. 21, a schedule column and an actual result column are provided, and in the schedule column, the planting plan date (time) calculated back from the harvest date of the shipping plan and the number of planting plan seedlings are input. The pruning date and the number of tailors calculated from the planting date using the variety characteristics, the extinguishing date calculated using the variety characteristics from the entered pruning date (or the planting date if not yet entered), and the entered extinguishing date. The bud date calculated using the variety characteristics from (planting date if not yet entered), the entered bud date (off date if not yet entered, if it has not been entered yet) The variety is calculated from the cultivar characteristics calculated from the planting date), and the entered cultivar date (the date of extinguishing if not yet entered, the date of planting if it has not been entered yet). The harvest date (start to completion) calculated using the characteristics is displayed.

In the actual results column, the planting date and the number of planted seedlings entered in FIG. 14 (a) or (b) (in the case of FIG. 14 (b), the shipping plan and the planting schedule in FIG. 21 are blank), FIG. The pruning date and the number of tailors entered in 15 (a), the extinguishing date entered in FIG. 15 (b), the bud date entered in FIG. 16 (a), and the membrane split date entered in FIG. 16 (b). , The harvest start date, the harvest completion date, and the yield rate entered in FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b), respectively, are displayed.

As the harvest schedule in FIG. 21, the expected harvest date and the expected number of harvests calculated based on the latest input actual performance information are sorted and displayed according to the cultivar characteristics by the harvest date, grade, and class.

In the example of FIG. 21, the cultivation is still in progress, and only the day when the light is turned off is input as the actual result. However, when the cultivation is performed to the end and the harvest is completed, all the actual results are shown as illustrated in FIG. Information will be entered and the harvest record (shipment record) will be displayed instead of the harvest schedule.

As a cultivation record, in the above example, the event according to the production plan is reported, but when the quality of the harvested product deteriorates due to obstacles such as weather and lighting trouble, the content of the accident is reported. You may do so. In that case, the input items include, for example, the date of the accident, the accident rate (the portion other than the accident rate can be shipped normally, so it is included in the shipping forecast), the reason for the accident (may be a selection formula), and Whether or not the accident product can be shipped (select if the accident product can be shipped as a second-class product) and remarks (described when multiple accidents such as disease and insect damage occur for one shipping plan). prepare.

Finally, the management of cultivar characteristics in this system and the improvement of cultivar characteristics using cultivation results will be described. As described above, the variety characteristics are such that the number of days required for growth and the number of tailored plants are decided for each stage in order to grasp the growth characteristics of each variety within the production organization, so that it will be more realistic. It is desirable that it be improved year by year.

In this system, in order to grasp more appropriate variety characteristics, the variety characteristics registered in the database and the results of this year's production (aggregated by various factors within the production organization) for each variety, shipping time and region. Things) can be easily compared. This comparison may be performed not only on the basis of the actual date of planting, but also on the basis of the actual date of extinguishing the lights.

This system can add, change, and delete the variety characteristics registered in the database, reflecting the results of comparative studies conducted within the production organization. At that time, the cultivar characteristics that have been registered as one can be divided into a plurality of varieties by subdividing the shipping time or region, or the cultivar characteristics that have been registered in a plurality of varieties can be registered. May be able to be registered together as one.

FIG. 23 illustrates a screen for visualizing the deviation of the cultivation results of each producer with respect to the characteristics of existing varieties. In the example of FIG. 23, the same search conditions as in the example of FIG. 19 can be specified (however, for the variation of the grade and the class during one harvest period, a separate comparison screen is displayed, so that the grade and the grade The class cannot be specified), the shipping plan that matches the search conditions, and the growth record for each turn-off date (if the lights are turned off on multiple days for the same planting date, different growth records will be used). Is displayed as a bar graph.

The output items in the example of FIG. 23 are the dates of planting, turning off, and the start of harvesting, the producer / field, the number of tailored plants, the cultivation results, and the production plan (that is, the cultivar characteristics registered in the database). Cultivation results include the total number of days from planting to pruning, the total number of days from pruning to extinguishing, the total number of days from extinguishing to buds, the total number of days from buds to membrane splitting, the total number of days from membrane splitting to harvesting, and harvesting completed. The total number of days up to is displayed continuously on a bar graph, and the production plan includes the total number of days for pruning of the variety characteristics, the total number of days for turning off the variety characteristics, the total number of days for bud development of the variety characteristics, the total number of days for film splitting of the variety characteristics, and the start of harvesting of the variety characteristics. The total number of days and the total number of days of harvest completion are displayed as line graphs.
