Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical plant-based automatic plant management system and method for preventing plant luminosity,

The present invention relates to an optical sensor-based automatic plant management system and method for preventing plant luminosity, and more particularly, to an optical sensor system for protecting plant luminosity, Based automatic plant management system and method.

If you look at the people who grow plants, there are people who remember to grow water all the time, but they do not water plants and sometimes kill them.

The most important and difficult thing to do when you grow plants like this is watering. There are several ways to know information about water.

The first is to get information about plants that are raised by specialists, how to buy them, how to buy books about the second related plants, and so on.

The first method has the advantage of asking the experts to find out the correct information, but the way to get answers from the experts is to ask questions by buying the plants or by asking questions on the plant site, so there is limited time to ask and many It takes time.

The second way to buy a book on related plants is to buy a book and find out what you do not know at that time, but there is a lot of trouble finding it, and if you buy another species of plants and buy a new book, There is an inconvenience.

To solve this problem, 'Koubachi' and 'Parrot' applications have been developed, which prompt me to notify when to give water to smart devices. Because these two applications are notified, they know when to give water, so you have to water them according to the time, so the first time you grow plants or do not know about plants, you can easily grow plants have.

However, there are times when you go on a business trip or leave your house for a long time, and there is a limit to the possibility that the plant will die because it is not managed.
