For example, when performing machine learning on wild boars, as shown in FIG. Prepare teaching data labeled by Segments can be defined, for example, by body length and weight. In the example shown in FIG. 8, seven divisions from division 1 to division 7 are set in advance. An image of a wild boar's footprint may be subjected to preprocessing for extracting a feature amount from the image according to machine learning using a learning model. After preparing the teaching data, machine learning is performed based on the teaching data to generate a learned model that has learned the image of the footprint of a wild boar and the relationship between the size and the division of the footprint. The generated trained model functions as correspondence information between the image of the footprint of a wild boar and the size of the footprint, and a plurality of sections divided according to the body length and weight of the boar. That is, with this learned model (correspondence information), it is possible to obtain an estimated classification of the pest associated with each damage information. For example, with this trained model (correspondence information), an image of a wild boar's footprint and the size of the footprint can be input, and the match rate for each category corresponding to the input image and footprint size can be obtained.

Note that FIG. 8 shows an example of teaching data and corresponding information (learned model), and there is no need to be particularly limited to the example shown in FIG. Machine learning can be performed by appropriately selecting information that contributes to individual estimation of the perpetrator (for example, wild boar) linked to the damage information from the information acquired as the damage information. In addition, correspondence information can be generated for each of a plurality of animals that can be pests, such as deer and crows, as well as wild boars. The correspondence information storage unit 123 can store correspondence information for each vermin.

The control unit 130 is a control circuit that controls each unit of the management device 100, has an internal memory for storing programs defining various processing procedures and required data, and executes various processes using these. The control unit 130 is implemented by a microcomputer or the like. A microcomputer is equipped with a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM (Random Access Memory). The ROM stores programs for controlling each part of the management device 100 and applications for executing various processes. A processor such as a CPU executes programs and applications stored in the ROM, thereby realizing control and various functions of the management device 100 by the microcomputer. The RAM is used as a memory area required for execution of calculations by a processor such as a CPU. Note that the control unit 130 may read a program or the like stored in the storage unit 120 and execute the read program to realize control and various functions of the management device 100 .

The control unit 130 includes a reception unit 131, an estimation unit 132, a collation unit 133, a selection unit 134, a presentation unit 135, a registration unit 136, and an update unit 137. 100 various functions are realized.

The receiving unit 131 functions as a receiving unit that receives damage information from pests. Specifically, when receiving a request for registration of damage information from the local government device 30, the reception unit 131 receives the transmission source ID enclosed as the damage information in the registration request, the trace of the damage caused by the vermin, and the image of the footprint of the vermin. , the size of the footprints, the location of appearance of the pest, the date and time when the damage by the pest was confirmed, and the eyewitness information related to some characteristics of the pest are associated with each other and stored in the damage information storage unit 121 . The damage information includes estimated information regarding the type and size of the vermin estimated by the estimation unit 132 .

The reception unit 131 also receives a request for registration of captured individual information from the local government device 30 . The reception unit 131 stores the captured individual information enclosed in the registration request in the captured individual information storage unit 122 .

The estimating unit 132 functions as an estimating unit that estimates estimated information regarding the type and size of the pest based on the image of the footprint of the pest or the size information of the footprint. Specifically, the estimation unit 132 estimates the type and size of the pest based on the image of the footprint of the pest and the size of the footprint stored in the damage information storage unit 121 . The estimating unit 132, for example, based on the reference information of the footprint image and the size of the footprint prepared in advance for each type of pest, generates the image of the footprint of the pest and the type of the pest corresponding to the size of the footprint. size can be estimated. The reference information includes a template for matching footprint images, table data that associates footprint sizes with vermin sizes, and the like. Note that the estimating unit 132 is not limited to the case of estimating the type and size of the pest corresponding to the image of the footprint of the pest and the size of the footprint, based on the reference information. Based on a trained model that has learned the type and size of the pest corresponding to the size of the footprint, the image of the footprint of the pest and the type and size of the pest corresponding to the size of the footprint may be estimated. In this way, the estimating unit 132 can determine the type of the pest by the farmer F1, who is the victim, from the damage situation of the crops and the footprints left at the site, or when the traces of the damage such as the footprints are not clear. Even without it, the species of the pest can be estimated to some extent. As a result, the damage information to be disclosed can include information such as the type of the pest as much as possible.

The collation unit 133 functions as a collation unit that collates the captured individual information about the captured individual with the damage information and determines whether or not the captured individual information and the damage information are similar. Specifically, the collating unit 133 matches the damage information stored in the damage information storage unit 121 with the captured individual information, and performs a process of matching the individual that is the pest and the captured individual. First, when the captured individual information is acquired by the reception unit 131, the collation unit 133 stores the image of the footprint of the pest and the size of the footprint and the corresponding information stored in the damage information stored in the damage information storage unit 121. Based on the correspondence information stored in the unit 123, the presumed category of the pest associated with the damage information is derived for each damage information. Then, the matching unit 133 compares the physical characteristics of the pest obtained from the estimated classification with the physical characteristics of the captured individual contained in the captured individual information, matches the names of the pest and the captured individual, and determines the location of the capture. The presence or absence of similarity between the captured individual information and the damage information is determined based on the degree of matching of the damage locations. If the physical characteristics (size such as body length and weight) of the captured individual are within the range of the estimated category derived from the damage information, the matching unit 133 distinguishes between the captured individual and the individual linked to the damage information (perpetrator). are similar. In addition, the collation unit 133 acquires the capture position of the captured individual and the infestation position of the pest, and if the capture position of the captured individual and the infestation position of the pest are within a certain range, the matching unit 133 determines whether the capture location and the damage location are the same. It is determined that the degree of matching is high. For example, when the name of the vermin and the captured individual match, the physical characteristics of the captured individual are included in the estimated classification derived from the damage information, and the capture location and the damage location have a high degree of matching. , it can be determined that the captured individual information and the damage information are similar.

The selection unit 134 functions as a selection unit that selects damage information similar to the captured individual information based on the judgment result of the similarity by the collation unit. Specifically, the selection unit 134 selects damage information similar to the captured individual information based on the determination result of the similarity presence/absence by the matching unit 133 . The selection unit 134 acquires damage information determined by the collation unit 133 to be similar to the captured individual information.

The presentation unit 135 functions as a presentation unit that presents information regarding damage information. Specifically, the presentation unit 135 displays the information including the type and size of the predator estimated by the estimation unit 132 and the damage information provided by the farmer F1 who is the victim. Arrangement information (see FIG. 13 to be described later) is presented. In addition, when the damage information includes the type of the pest provided by the farmer F1, the presentation unit 135 treats the type of the pest as determined, and does not use the estimation result by the estimation unit 132. In addition, it is possible to present wanted information created only from damage information. The presentation unit 135, for example, transmits the estimated information to the local government device 30, thereby making the arrangement information widely available to the general public through the local government device 30. FIG. When the damage information is updated by the update unit 137, the presentation unit 135 updates and presents the wanted information without delay after the update. The presentation unit 135 also provides the municipality device 30 with the selection result (damage information) by the selection unit 134 .

The registration unit 136 functions as a registration unit that associates and registers the provided information provided with respect to the damage information with the damage information and updates the damage information. Specifically, the registration unit 136 updates the damage information by associating posted information or the like provided by the third party D1 with the damage information and registering it in the damage information storage unit 121 regarding the vermin. For example, when the third party D1, who is the information provider, has received information on the infestation positions and characteristic information of pests similar to the pests being arranged, the registration unit 136 can promptly register such information as damages. The damage information is updated by adding to the column of "provided information" provided in the information. The collation unit 133 can use the latest damage information updated by the registration unit 136 when collating the captured individual information and the damage information. In this way, the registration unit 136 adds and updates the information posted by the third party D1 to the damage information, so that the information on the pest being sought is embodied by the information posted by the third party D1, and captured. It is possible to improve the accuracy of determining the presence or absence of similarity between an individual and an individual (harmful animal) linked to damage information.

The update unit 137 updates the investigation status associated with the damage information and the investigation status associated with the captured individual information in response to an investigation status update request received from the local government device 30 .

<<Processing procedure example>>
An example of a processing procedure by the management system 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 15. FIG. 9 to 11 are sequence diagrams showing the flow of processing in the management system according to the embodiment. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an estimation process procedure of the management device according to the embodiment; FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of estimation information according to the embodiment; 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure of matching processing of the management device according to the embodiment; FIG. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an overview of matching processing according to the embodiment.

With reference to FIG. 9, a process from transmission of damage information to disclosure of information (wanted information) on the perpetrator, and a flow from transmission of posted information to updating of damage information will be described. 9, the damage information transmission terminal 10 is illustrated as the terminal 10, and the information provider device 40 is illustrated as the terminal 40. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 9, the damage information transmission terminal 10 activates an application (step S101) in response to an activation operation (step S11) by a user (for example, a farmer F1). Next, the damage information transmitting terminal 10 captures an image of the damage situation (step S102) according to the user's imaging operation (step S12). Furthermore, the damage information transmitting terminal 10 acquires the current position (step S103).

The damage information transmission terminal 10 receives input of each information by the user's input operation (step S13) (step S104). Then, the damage information transmission terminal 10 generates damage information (step S105), and transmits the generated damage information to the local government device 30 (step S106) according to the user's transmission operation (step S14).

The municipality device 30 receives the damage information (step S107) and transmits a registration request for the received damage information (step S108). Upon receiving the damage information, the local government device 30 decides to conduct a public investigation of the pest (step S109). The municipality device 30 starts receiving information on the vermin by the public investigation decision.

The management device 100 receives a damage information registration request from the local government device 30 (step S110), and registers the received damage information in the damage information storage unit 121 (step S111). Then, the management device 100 executes an estimation process based on the damage information (step S112), and the information including the estimated type and size of the pest and the damage information provided by the victim farmer F1. The arrangement information of the vermin created based on this is made public (step S113). The damage information registered in the damage information storage unit 121 is associated with an estimation result estimated by an estimation process described later. Also, the management device 100 may execute the processing procedure of step S112 prior to the processing procedure of step S111.

Information provider device 40 accepts input of a comment by user's operation input (step S15) (step S114), and generates posted information using the accepted comment (step S115). Posted information is, for example, information received from a researcher, a skilled hunter, or the like who is a user of information provider device 40, regarding a pest being sought by wanted information. Information provider device 40 transmits the generated posted information to local government device 30 (step S116) in response to the user's transmission operation (step S16).

Upon receiving the posted information from the information provider device 40 (step S117), the municipality device 30 transmits the received posted information to the management device 100 (step S118).

When the management device 100 receives the posted information from the local government device 30 (step S119), the management device 100 executes update processing of the damage information corresponding to the posted information (step S120). For example, when information such as information on the infestation position and characteristic information of pests similar to the pest being arranged is received from the wanted information, the management device 100 stores this information in the column of "provided information" included in the damage information. Update the damage information by adding.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, processing from transmission of captured individual information to selection of damage information similar to the captured individual information and reception of a final judgment as to whether or not the captured individual information matches the damage information. Explain the flow. In addition, in FIG. 10 , the captured individual information transmission terminal 20 is illustrated as the terminal 20 .

As shown in FIG. 10, the captured individual information transmitting terminal 20 activates an application (step S201) in response to an activation operation (step S21) by a user (for example, hunter H1). Next, the captured individual information transmitting terminal 20 takes an image of the captured individual (step S202) in accordance with the user's imaging operation (step S22). Furthermore, the captured individual information transmission terminal 20 acquires the current position (step S203).

The captured individual information transmission terminal 20 receives input of each information by the user's input operation (step S23) (step S204). Then, the captured individual information transmitting terminal 20 generates captured individual information (step S205), and transmits the generated captured individual information to the local government device 30 in accordance with the user's transmission operation (step S24) (step S206). .

The municipality device 30 receives the captured individual information (step S207), and transmits a registration request for the received damaged individual information (step S208).

The management device 100 receives a request for registration of captured individual information from the local government device 30 (step S209), and registers the received captured individual information in the captured individual information storage unit 122 (step S210). Then, the management device 100 executes a matching process for the captured individual (step S211), and based on the determination result of the similarity by the matching process, the selection result of selecting the damage information similar to the captured individual information is sent to the municipality device 30. (step S212).

The municipality device 30 receives the selection result from the management device 100 (step S213), and receives the final determination from the user (for example, the municipality employee CS1) as to whether or not the captured individual information and the damage information match (step S214). ).

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the flow of processing from transmission of suspected individual information to update of investigation status will be described. 11, the damage information transmission terminal 10 is shown as the terminal 10. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11, when receiving the final judgment from the user that the captured individual information and the damage information match, the municipality device 30 transmits the captured individual information as the suspected individual information to the damage information transmission terminal 10 (step S301).

The damage information transmitting terminal 10 receives the suspected individual information (step S302). Then, the damage information transmission terminal 10 receives approval for stopping the damage (step S303) and generates approval information (step S304) according to the input operation (step S31) of the user (for example, the farmer F1). Then, the damage information transmission terminal 10 transmits the approval information to the local government device 30 (step S305) in response to the user's transmission operation (step S32).

The local government device 30 receives the approval information (step S306), and transmits a request to update the investigation status to the management device 100 (step S307).

The management device 100 receives the update request (step S308), and updates the investigation status (updates to investigation end) (step S309).

In the process shown in FIG. 11, the generation of the approval information and the transmission of the approval information (steps S303 to S305) can be realized by the function of a dedicated application installed in the damage information transmission terminal 10. FIG. Note that the steps from generation of approval information to transmission of approval information (steps S303 to S305) may be realized by means such as telephone contact from the user of the damage information transmission terminal 10 to the local government. In the processing, the transmission of approval information (steps S303 to S305) can be omitted from the generation of approval information.

Using FIG. 12, the flow of a predator estimation process in the management device 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, the estimating unit 132 acquires the footprint image and footprint size of the pest included in the damage information (step S401).

The estimation unit 132 estimates the type and size of the pest based on the acquired damage information (step S402). Specifically, the estimating unit 132 calculates the image of the footprint of the pest and the footprint size of the pest corresponding to the size of the footprint based on the reference information of the footprint image and the size of the footprint prepared in advance for each type of pest. We derive the estimation result of the type and size of

The presenting unit 135 provides information on the arrangement of the pest created based on the estimation result of the type and size of the pest and the damage information (step S403), and ends the processing procedure shown in FIG. Note that the presentation unit 135 may disclose the estimated information to the general public through the local government device 30 . For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the presenting unit 135 can provide information including the infested area, estimated species, estimated body length, eating habits, physical characteristics, and information provider as the arrangement information of the pest, as shown in FIG. The presentation unit 135 can extract information such as infested areas, eating habits, and physical characteristics from the damage information and add them to the arrangement information. The presentation unit 35 can create wanted information based only on the damage information when there is no presumed result of the vermin. In addition, even if there is an estimation result of the pest, if the damage information includes the type of the pest, the presentation unit 135 creates wanted information based only on the damage information without adopting the estimation result of the pest. can also The information on the information provider is inserted into the arrangement information by the presentation unit 135, for example, based on the information on the information provider (such as the destination of the information) designated in advance by the local government device 30. FIG. In this way, the management device 100 can increase the possibility of catching an individual corresponding to a pest by providing and widely disclosing the presumed information of the pest, thereby improving the effectiveness of pest extermination. can contribute.

Referring to FIG. 14, the flow of captured individual collation processing in the management device 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, when the captured individual information is acquired from the local government device 30, the matching unit 133 acquires the damage information from the damage information storage unit 121 (step S501).

Subsequently, the matching unit 133 acquires correspondence information from the correspondence information storage unit 123 (step S502).

Subsequently, the matching unit 133 links each piece of damage information to the damage information based on the image of the footprints of the pest and the size of the footprints included in the damage information and the correspondence information stored in the correspondence information storage unit 123. The presumed category of the attached pest is derived (step S503), and the processing procedure shown in FIG. 14 is terminated. For example, assume that the damage information storage unit 121 stores damage information J1 to J4 as shown in FIG. At this time, the collation unit 133 selects the estimated category 1 corresponding to the damage information J1, the estimated category 2 corresponding to the damage information J2, the estimated category 1 corresponding to the damage information J3, and the estimated category 1 corresponding to the damage information J4. It is derived based on the image of the footprint of the pest, the size of the footprint, and the corresponding information. When deriving the estimated classification of the pest linked to the damage information for each piece of damage information, the matching unit 133 derives, for example, the classification with the highest matching rate among the derived classifications as the estimated classification. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, it is assumed that the captured individual size "100 cm/70 kg" is obtained as the captured individual information. At this time, since the size of the captured individual matches the size that defines the estimated category 2 of the damage information J2 in the damage information J1 to J4, the matching unit 133 It can be judged that the physical characteristics are similar to

The selection unit 134 selects damage information similar to the captured individual information based on the estimated category and damage information derived from the damage information by the collation unit 133 , and transmits the selection result to the local government device 30 . The user of the municipality device 30 (for example, the municipality employee CS1) carefully examines the selection results provided by the management device 100 and makes a final determination as to whether the captured individual information and the damage information match. When it is determined that the captured individual information and the damage information match, the local government device 30 treats the captured individual information as the suspected individual information and sends it to the user of the damage information transmission terminal 10 (for example, the farmer F1) who is the source of the damage information. ). In this way, when the captured individual information and the damage information are similar, the management device 100 provides the local government device 30 with the possibility that the captured individual is the vermin associated with the damage information. As a result, the local government can notify the victim (for example, farmer F1) that a suspected individual that may have caused damage to crops, etc. has been captured, and observe the subsequent occurrence of damage. can give you an opportunity. As a result, it is possible to indirectly determine whether or not the captured individual was actually a harmful animal from the subsequent occurrence of damage, and a highly effective management system for exterminating vermin can be realized.
