Various attempts have been made to seek the efficiency of agricultural products distribution by utilizing the Internet and communication technology, and related prior arts include published patent publication 2004-110912.

Conventional communication technology grafting methods, including published patent No. 2004-110912, focus on agricultural product history management, location tracking and inventory identification at each stage of distribution, commercial farms outside the local or city of supply, and cities that are in demand. There was no change in the physical transport path of agricultural products to retail stores and restaurants.

That is, in the conventional communication technology grafted agricultural product distribution method, only the level of managing the quantity, status, and location of agricultural products is performed without changing the subject and physical movement path of each business in the distribution path of agricultural products. The essential improvement effect on the whole cultivation and distribution process was inevitable, such as shortening the spatial and temporal movement path of agricultural products, maintaining freshness of agricultural products, and suppressing abuse of pesticides or growth regulators.

In particular, the prior art has a structure in which the supply source of agricultural products must be fixed to a commercial farm, and there is a limitation in shortening the physical movement distance in the distribution of agricultural products, which directly leads to an increase in the distribution cost of agricultural products, as well as environmental pollution. It caused serious problems.

Thus, urban agriculture, which utilized various idle spaces of the city as a search for spatial convergence of production and consumption areas, broke away from traditional agricultural structures based on large-scale commercial farms remotely located from consumers. It has been proposed, and urban farming is currently spreading in the form of self-sufficient to neighborhood supply.

Specific types of urban farming include relatively large-scale cultivation facilities such as garden-type gardens and roof-mounted greenhouses that build greenhouses on the roofs of buildings, and fruit and vegetable planting pots or hydroponic equipment as relatively small indoor cultivation facilities. You can.

Through the above-mentioned urban agriculture, various effects such as the restoration of a healthy ecosystem of cities, the formation of local communities, and expansion of green spaces can be expected, but in terms of consumption, the area is limited to self-contained or small-scale combination production and consumption, accounting for the total consumption of agricultural products. The proportion is insignificant.

In particular, due to the nature of urban cultivation means built in the form of home or neighborhood facilities, management personnel are always accessible and irrigated, and it is also highly integrated, which is inferior to large commercial farms. Despite being able to secure the missing productivity, it was not possible to be incorporated into the existing agricultural product distribution process, and it was also difficult to establish an individual distribution system, so there was a problem that consumption was not promoted.

This limitation of urban farming causes serious problems in vegetables that have a short period of time as well as a period of cultivation as well as a cultivation period. In the case of vegetables, productivity is excellent due to vigorous growth characteristics, while mainly used as raw materials for raw food such as ssam or salad It is difficult to store for a long time because there is no choice but to be distributed in a fresh state, and elastic adjustment of consumption is also impossible.

Therefore, in the case of vegetables produced through urban farming, after being consumed by producers or members of small-scale unions, all of the surplus crops have to be disposed of, resulting in huge waste of resources.

It can be applied.

On the other hand, in FIG. 2, the management database 31 connected to the management server 30 is shown as being physically separated, but this is for expressing the functions of the components of the present invention, and the storage device of the management server 30. In the management database 31 may be built.

The present invention is carried out through such a configuration, as shown in Figure 3, the cultivation application of the cultivation terminal 11, grower information for operating the cultivation equipment 50, sowing information and quantity of vegetables planted in the cultivation equipment 50 Information transmission step (S10) in which the cultivation information including the information is transmitted to the management server 30 through the wireless network 20 and the management server 30 records the cultivation information in the management database 31.

As described above, the cultivation terminal 11 is an information device such as a smartphone or tablet computer of a cultivation entity, and the cultivation terminal 11 is equipped with a cultivation application that is an application program of the corresponding information device operating system, and the cultivation application is a management server. As a program that performs communication with (30), it performs functions such as transmitting information input by the cultivation entity to the management server, outputting information transmitted from the management server 30, and the like.

Among the information treated as cultivation information in the information collecting step (S10), the grower information is a kind of identification (IDentification) that enables identification of the cultivation entity, that is, the user of the cultivation terminal 11 in performing the information collecting step (S10), that is, , The method of inputting the cultivation application directly into the cultivation application may be applied, but after being input during the initial installation of the cultivation application, it is encrypted and stored in the storage device of the cultivation terminal, and the cultivation application withdraws it and transmits it to the management server 30 The latter method may be applied, but the latter method is advantageous for user convenience.

Grower information for identifying individual growers can be set and registered in the management database 31 when the above-mentioned grower subscribes to the present invention application service, when the grower information is set, that is, when the grower joins the service, the grower operates The location information of the cultivation apparatus 50 to be recorded is included in the management database 31 together with the cultivator information as location information. When the cultivation apparatus 50 is installed in the residence of the cultivation entity, the location information of the cultivation entity's residence, etc. Can be applied as

The planting information, including planting information, and the planting information handled in the information collecting step (S10) include sowing information and quantity information on vegetables planted in the planting apparatus 50, where the sowing information is the type of the vegetable, the planting time and planting Method may be included, and the quantity information may include the quantity of seeds sown as information for estimating the yield.

As described above, when a kit-type cultivation mechanism 50 provided by a management entity is applied, unique information such as a model name or a serial number assigned to the kit may be applied as cultivation information. The seeding time constituting the sowing information is obtained in such a way that the cultivation application extracts real-time visual information from the operating system of the cultivation terminal 11, even if the cultivation entity does not directly input it to the cultivation application by manipulating the cultivation terminal 11 or information. A method in which the management server 30 receiving the information itself generates time information may be applied.

In addition, when the kit-type cultivation mechanism 50 is applied, in addition to the method in which the cultivation entity directly inputs the unique information in the form of a string or a number string into the cultivation terminal 11, inputting the unique information of the kit constitutes the kit. A method of displaying a barcode or a QR code or the like on the contents or packaging material and reading it with the imaging device of the cultivation terminal 11 may be applied.

When the cultivation information including cultivation information transmitted via the wireless network 20 by the cultivation application mounted on the cultivation terminal 11 is transmitted to the management server 30, the management server 30 manages the transmitted cultivation information in the management database ( 31), whereby the management entity can estimate and predict the crop yield, harvestable time, and production amount of vegetables planted in the cultivation apparatus 50 for each cultivation entity.

In particular, the estimation of crop yield and production amount may be automatically performed by a program mounted on the management server 30. The calculation of crop yield, harvest time, and production amount by the program loaded on the management server 30 may be performed through a preset cultivation period. The time of sowing can be summed at the time of sowing to determine the harvest time, and the method of predicting production by simply substituting the number of seeds sown can be applied.For more accurate estimation, the temperature of the region where the cultivation organization 50 is located, The harvesting time and yield can be adjusted in consideration of weather conditions such as humidity and average sunshine.

This step of collecting information (S10) is performed when recruiting new cultivation entities by the management entity, and can also be performed when an existing subscriber, the cultivation entity, replaces or expands the cultivation mechanism 50 itself or some components.

In addition, as described above, through the program mounted on the management server 30, it is possible to estimate the growth status of vegetables planted in each cultivation apparatus 50, etc., the management server 30 mounted program grows vegetables It proceeds in a manner of estimating the state and updating the information contained in the management database 31.

In this vegetable growth information update type embodiment, the information collecting step (S10), as shown in FIG. 4, the cultivation application of the cultivation terminal 11 includes cultivation information including grower information, seeding information, and quantity information. ) Is initiated as an initial transmission step (S11) for transmitting to the management server 30, and the initial recording step (S12) for recording the cultivation information transmitted by the management server 30 to the management database 31 is subsequently performed. Afterwards, the management server 30 generates a growth information corresponding to the cultivation information, that is, information that qualitatively or quantitatively indicates the growth state of vegetables, and then updates the status S13 of recording it in the management database 31. .

Here, information that qualitatively displays the growth status of vegetables means information that expresses the appearance, color, etc. of each stage of growth of vegetables, and information that quantitatively displays the growth status of vegetables is numerical value of vegetables (數 値) Information For example, it means the information obtained by quantifying the weight of the edible portion of the root vegetable or the area of the edible portion of the leafy vegetable.

In the status update step (S13) performed by the management server 30 mounted program, the above-mentioned seeding time is used as input data, and weather conditions such as temperature, humidity and sunshine may be used as input data. .

In addition, the status update step (S13) is periodically repeated during the period from the sowing of vegetables to the final harvest, accurate growth information can be established and updated in the management database 31, and unexpected growth conditions such as abnormal climate In case of unsuccessful changes, the input data of the status update step (S13) may be changed or the status update step (S13) may be additionally performed irregularly.

As such, when the information recording step (S10) is completed, as shown in FIG. 3, the demand application of the demand terminal 12 transmits demand information including consumer information and quantity information to the management server 30 through the Internet. The request step (S20) is performed, which can be said to be a sort of order process in which a consumer of vegetables requests the supply of vegetables to the management.

Here, the demand terminal 12 is an information device such as a personal computer, a smart phone, or a tablet computer of a consumer, and the demand terminal 12 is equipped with a demand application that is an application program of the corresponding information device operating system, and the demand application is a management server ( 30) As a program that performs communication with, it performs functions such as transmitting information input by the consumer to the management server.

In the execution of the supply request step (S20), the consumption entity manipulates his / her demand terminal 12 to input the required varieties and quantity of vegetables, and the demand application mounted on the demand terminal 12 is based on the inputted information. Generates quantity information for transmission to and sends it to the management server 30 together with the consumer information that can specify the consumption subject, where the consumer information is the user of the demand terminal 12, that is, the consumer of consumption, as the grower information described above. It can be said to be a kind of ID (ID) that enables identification of.

In the execution of the supply request step (S20), the consumer information may be directly input to the demand application by the consumer, but after being input during the initial installation of the demand application, it is encrypted and stored in the storage device of the demand terminal 12, A method in which the demand application fetches this and transmits it to the management server 30 may be applied. The latter method is advantageous for user convenience.

In addition, as in the above-mentioned grower information, consumer information for identifying an individual consumer may also be set in the management database 31 when the consumer applies for the present invention application service subscription, that is, when the consumer information is set, that is, the consumer. When signing up for the service, location information, such as restaurants operated by the consumer, is recorded in the management database 31 along with consumer information as location information.

As such, when the information collecting step (S10) and the supply request step (S20) are completed, the management server 30 queries the management database 31 to extract the cultivation information corresponding to the demand information and the cultivation terminal corresponding to the cultivation information In step (11), a collection notification step (S30) of transmitting collection information including quantity information is performed.

Here, the cultivation information that meets the demand information is the quantity information included in the demand information, that is, the cultivation information that satisfies the demand of vegetables and can set the transport distance to the shortest distance. At the time of collection, the collection notice step (S30) After the cultivation organization 50 first inquires the cultivation entities that can be harvested in the management database 31, these harvestable cultivation entities are sorted on the basis of the proximity to the consumer who sent the demand information. Then, the operation of selecting a cultivation apparatus 50 that can satisfy the quantity information among the cultivation apparatuses 50 of these sorted cultivation subjects is performed by a program mounted on the management server 30.

In the process of selecting a cultivation entity in the collection notification step (S30), a large number of cultivation entities may be selected together when the quantity of demand information is large.

As described above, when a cultivation entity located in the location closest to the consumer who sends the demand information while satisfying the quantity information included in the demand information is selected, the management server 30 collects the quantity information including the selected cultivation terminal 11 By sending the information, the grower will be notified of the plan to collect vegetables.

On the other hand, in the collection notification step (S30), a method in which a subsequent step is performed may be applied only after the intention to provide vegetables to the cultivating entity and the cultivating entity accepts it, as described above, the present invention is performed based on the intention to supply the cultivating entity. As shown in FIG. 5, the collection notification step (S30) is initiated by an information extraction step (S31) in which the management server 30 queries the management database 31 to extract cultivation information corresponding to demand information.

Subsequently, the management server 30 transmits the collection information including the quantity information to the cultivation terminal 11 corresponding to the extracted cultivation information, and the supply confirmation step (S32) for tapping the supply intention is performed, and the collection information is received. The cultivation application of one cultivation terminal 11 returns to the management server 30, the medical society step (S33) is performed.

Through the supply confirmation step (S32) and the new medical society step (S33), it is possible to determine whether or not to collect vegetables according to the intention of the cultivating entity, whereby the cultivation entity may directly consume the cultivated vegetables, as well as the cultivating entity. Other cultivation agents can be quickly selected even if they fail to respond to a visit by a delivery agent, which will be described later due to outing.

After completion of the collection notification step (S30), as shown in FIG. 3, the management server 30 transmits the delivery information including the location information to the delivery terminal 13 and the delivery application outputs the delivery information by the delivery application ( S40) is performed, the delivery terminal 13 is a portable information device such as a smartphone or tablet computer of the delivery entity, and the delivery terminal 13 is equipped with a delivery application, which is an application program of the corresponding information device operating system.

The delivery application is a program that performs communication with the management server 30, as in the above-described cultivation application or demand application, and performs functions such as outputting information transmitted from the management server 30, and the user of the delivery application. The transfer terminal 13 is continuously moved due to the activity characteristics of the transfer agent, and the transfer application extracts the location of the transfer terminal 13 from a location extraction means such as GPS mounted on the transfer terminal 13 and manages the server 30 ) May be periodically added.

Through the transmission terminal 13 location transmission of the delivery application, the management server 30 can grasp the location of the delivery terminal 13 in real time, and selects the delivery entity closest to the location of the cultivation mechanism 50 of the cultivation entity. By performing the collection notification step (S30) can be performed efficiently.

The transmission information may include location information of the cultivation entity, that is, location information of the cultivation apparatus 50 and location information of the consumption entity, quantity information of vegetables, and types of vegetables, where the location information is as described above. , As information stored in the management database 31, the location of the cultivation apparatus 50 or the location of the consumer, that is, the address may be utilized.

The above-described cultivation terminal 11, demand terminal 12 and delivery terminal 13, each of the cultivation application, demand application, and delivery application are subscribers of the service applied by the present invention by a management entity operating the management server 30 Alternatively, it may be distributed to a cultivation entity, a consumption entity, or a delivery entity, which is an employee of the management entity, and these cultivation applications, demand applications, and delivery applications are all returned to similar types of information devices, that is, the wireless network 20 or Internet access information devices As it is, the cultivation application, the demand application, and the delivery application are written in a single program, but may be configured to behave as cultivation applications, demand applications, and delivery applications, respectively, as the set value changes.

As such, through the progress of the collection notice step (S30) and the delivery progress step (S40), the cultivation entity can grasp the harvesting and collection plan of vegetables planted in his cultivation apparatus 50, and the delivery entity himself or herself can identify the vegetables. The material of the cultivating and consuming subjects to be collected and supplied can be identified, and then the delivery agent visits the cultivation organization 50, such as the resident's residence, collects vegetables, and delivers it to the consuming subject.

On the other hand, when the management server 30 performs the collection notification step (S30) of notifying the cultivation terminal 11 of the plan to collect vegetables, when the management entity taps out the intention to supply vegetables to the cultivating entity, the cultivating entity is the vegetable. Various situations that do not respond to collection may occur, and the absence of a cultivation agent may be cited as the most frequent collection refractory factor.

That is, in the present invention, since the cultivation mechanism 50 is installed in the cultivation entity's residence, etc., it is impossible to collect it when the cultivation entity goes out. And if the process of receiving a response is repeated, not only rapid processing is impossible, but also enormous communication load is generated, and the computational resources of the information device performed by the present invention, including the management server 30, are severely eroded.

Thus, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 6, by installing the beacon 55 in the cultivation mechanism 50 and by allowing the cultivation terminal 11 to detect the beacon 55 transmission signal, the cultivation subject that is the cultivation terminal 11 user It was possible to quickly grasp the existence of the cultivation subject's cultivation organization 50 without the artificial reply by.

The beacon (beacon) 55 is a device that periodically transmits wireless signals, and the performance according to the development of low-power short-range wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and Zigbee, and the development of associated transmission, reception, and software, Durability and service life are dramatically improving.

As in the excerpt enlarged portion of FIG. 6, the beacon 55 applied to the present invention performs a low-power short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth and a wireless module 56 periodically oscillating a wireless signal containing unique information, and a wireless module It consists of a microcontroller unit (MCU) 57 and a power supply 58 to control the 56.

The wireless module 56 applied to the beacon 55 of the present invention performs short-range communication having a transmission / reception range within a few tens of meters under a condition that minimizes power consumption, and in particular, a recently developed Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) -based wireless module. (56) is a very small power consumption, it is possible to send a small coin cell (coin cell) to the power source 58 for more than several years signal transmission.

Therefore, the beacon 55 may be installed by simply attaching a sticker to the cultivation apparatus 50 such as a pot or a hydroponic cultivation container, and in addition, the cultivation apparatus 50 of the present invention is located in a residence of a cultivation entity. In view of the fact that it is mainly installed, rather than directly attaching the beacon 55 to the cultivation mechanism 50, a method of installing it in a residential area of a cultivation entity may be applied. In this case, it is necessary to secure the power 58 of the beacon 55. This also provides an advantage.

The MCU 57 embedded in the beacon 55 is a device for controlling the wireless module 56, a core performing control operations, a memory as a storage device, and serial interfaces as an input / output path. Although the functions are composed in a complex manner, the function of the beacon 55 is a relatively simple function of periodically transmitting a simple signal, and thus the MCU 57 having a very simple configuration can be applied compared to other communication devices. The miniaturization of 55 and low power operation can be achieved.

Beacon identification information is included in the transmission signal periodically transmitted from the beacon 55, and the beacon identification information is a type of unique information uniquely assigned to the beacon 55, and has a format such as a serial number or an ID. , UUID (Universal Unique Identifier) may be applied as in a typical wireless device.

The transmission signal of the beacon 55 may be received by a mobile terminal, that is, a connection information device connected to the wireless network 20 such as a smartphone or tablet computer, and processed by an application program mounted on the information device. In the beacon 55, a wireless signal receiving device of the same standard as the wireless module 56 is built in.

That is, when the Bluetooth-based wireless module 56 is applied as the wireless module 56 of the beacon 55, the mobile terminal is equipped with a Bluetooth reception function, and a master and a signal for transmitting a signal on a Bluetooth communication are transmitted. The receiving slave (slave) is set to the beacon 55 and the mobile terminal, respectively.

Most of the smart phones or tablet computers that are currently released are equipped with a Bluetooth reception function as standard, and the present invention can be performed without additionally installing a separate device on a mobile terminal such as a cultivation terminal 11 or a delivery terminal 13. It is possible to perform.

In this embodiment of the beacon 55 application of the present invention, the information recording step (S10), as shown in Figure 7, the cultivation application of the cultivation terminal 11, the cultivation information including planter information, sowing information and quantity information The initial transmission step (S11) for transmitting to the management server 30 through the wireless network 20 is initiated.

Subsequently, an initial recording step (S12) is performed in which the management server 30 records the transmitted cultivation information to the management database 31, and then the beacon 55 transmits a transmission signal including the beacon identification information and the cultivation terminal. (11) A material notification step (S15) is performed in which the transmission signal is received and the cultivation application transmits the material information including the grower information to the management server 30.

The transmission of such material information is performed by a cultivation application, and in the material notification step (S15), various methods such as a method in which the material information is repeatedly transmitted to the management server 30 or the material information is transmitted only temporarily in the absence are possible. , The latter is advantageous in reducing communication load and reducing computational resources.

That is, in the former method, the transmission signal of the beacon 55 is received or not, and the cultivation application is repeatedly transmitted to the management server 30 at regular intervals, whereas the latter method is the cultivation terminal 11 due to the outing of the cultivation entity or the like. ) When the detection of the beacon 55 transmission signal is stopped, the material information indicating the absence is transmitted to the management server 30 sporadically, and the cultivation entity returns home to transmit the beacon 55 of the cultivation terminal 11 When signal detection is resumed, the material information indicating the actual fact is once again transmitted to the management server 30, so that occupancy of the communication network and related processing devices can be minimized.

After the material notification step (S15) is performed, the management server 30 performs the material update step (S16) of recording the transmitted material information in the management database 31, so that the management server 30 is cultivated terminal ( 11) It can be checked in real time whether the cultivation apparatus (50) is in proximity.

That is, the cultivation terminal 11 receives the transmission signal of the beacon 55, and the cultivation application reports to the management server 30 whether or not the transmission signal is received. This series of processes is performed by the cultivation terminal 11 Although the cultivation subject, which is the user of the user, does not check each day, the cultivation application is performed in a background process manner, so that the management server 30 can periodically check whether the cultivation terminal 11 and the beacon 55 are in proximity. .

Particularly, as the present invention is spread, a plurality of cultivation mechanisms 50 may be located in an apartment house, etc .. As described above, since the beacon identification information is included in the transmission signal, the cultivation application confirms its effectiveness. Alternatively, the management server 30 checks the validity of the beacon identification information transmitted by the cultivation application to accurately check whether the cultivation entity is located.

On the other hand, the beacon 55 may be utilized to search for the cultivation mechanism 50 of the delivery subject, as well as to confirm whether the cultivation entity exists, and a specific embodiment thereof is illustrated in FIG. 8.

The delivery terminal 13 of the delivery entity is also equipped with a wireless signal receiving device of the same standard as the wireless module 56 of the beacon 55, such as Bluetooth, as in the above-described cultivation terminal 11, a wireless module such as Bluetooth ( 56) A master for transmitting a communication signal and a slave for receiving a signal are set as the beacon 55 and the delivery terminal 13, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the embodiment of applying the beacon 55, in the delivery progress step (S40), the management server 30 collects the delivery information including the location information and the beacon identification information to the delivery terminal 13 Initiation is initiated in step S41.

Thereafter, the beacon 55 transmits the transmission signal including the beacon identification information, the transmission terminal 13 receives the transmission signal, and the signal matching step in which the transmission application compares with the beacon identification information received in the collection start step (S41). (S42), when the beacon identification information is valid, the delivery application of the delivery terminal 13 outputs a proximity signal, thereby performing a proximity notification step (S43), whereby the delivery subject, the user of the delivery terminal 13, is the target harvesting mechanism ( 50) can be quickly and accurately located.

The proximity signal output in the proximity notification step (S43) is output through the speaker of the delivery terminal 13 in the form of an alarm sound, or whether proximity is displayed on the screen of the delivery terminal 13, or the reception sensitivity of the transmission signal is A method such as displaying in terms of the remaining distance may be applied.

That is, in a state in which a large number of cultivation entities and cultivation apparatuses 50 such as apartment houses are densely packed, the cultivation apparatuses subject to collection without having to individually visit the residential area of the cultivation entity in order to search for the cultivation apparatus 50 to be accurately collected. It is possible to quickly and accurately grasp the proximity of (50) through the delivery terminal (13).

To determine whether the cultivation mechanism 50 is close, if the delivery application of the delivery terminal 13 receives valid beacon identification information from the management server 30, communication and delivery application between the delivery terminal 13 and the beacon 55 Since it can be independently performed in the individual transmission terminal 13 through the validation of, it is possible to perform without weighting the communication load and excessive consumption of computational resources.

In particular, it is possible not only to fundamentally prevent trial and error of the delivery entity in the process of checking the cultivation mechanism 50, but also to protect the privacy of the cultivation entity by blocking unnecessary visits to the cultivation entity.
