It can be. These software components may be loaded from a computer-readable recording medium separate from the memory 210. Such separate computer-readable recording media may include computer-readable recording media such as floppy drives, disks, tapes, DVD/CD-ROM drives, and memory cards.

In another embodiment, software components may be loaded into the memory 210 through the communication module 230 rather than a computer-readable recording medium. For example, at least one program is a computer program (for example, installed by files provided through the network 1) by developers or a file distribution system (for example, the server described above) that distributes the installation file of the application.

In the following, the environmental information confirmation unit, control unit, and lighting unit may be devices that communicate with other devices or servers based on FIG. 2. That is, each of the components described below may be a computing device that includes and operates a memory, processor, communication module, transceiver, and other components based on FIG. 2. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the description is based on the environmental information confirmation unit, lighting unit, and control unit, but this may be a device that acquires input information or performs control through output as a single device, and may be used in the configuration of FIG. 2 or various devices. Configurations may be included. Additionally, the environmental information confirmation unit, lighting unit, and control unit are not limited to a specific computing device and may be other types of devices.

As described above, changing the lighting method in the poultry farm according to the growth stage of the chickens reduces the amount of feed consumed by the chickens and reduces the mortality rate, which has the effect of increasing the profits of the poultry farm. In addition, by controlling the ramping and lighting method, power consumption can be reduced, which has the effect of reducing electricity bills. As an example, referring to Table 1 below, productivity may change as the lighting method is changed within a poultry farm, and profits may increase based on this.

[Table 1]

However, in Table 1, the feed demand rate and mortality rate were compared based on either overnight lighting or incremental lighting, but the incremental method and lighting method based on the lighting part can be set based on various conditions. For example, the feed requirement rate and mortality rate can be further reduced by adjusting the lighting method and intensification method in consideration of environmental information within the poultry farm, such as the mobility of individuals (i.e., chickens) within the poultry farm, the state of manure, temperature, and humidity. Describe the concrete seal method.

As an example, Figure 3 is a diagram showing a lighting control system. Here, the lighting control system 3000 may include at least one of an environmental information confirmation unit 3100, a control unit 3200, and a lighting unit 3300. At this time, the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 can obtain environmental information within the poultry farm. As an example, the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 may be a device installed in the poultry farm of FIG. 4 or may be a configuration that includes various types of devices in the poultry farm, and is not limited to a specific device. Here, the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 may include a camera unit 3110 that acquires visual and auditory information within the poultry farm. The camera unit 3110 may include a plurality of cameras. As an example, only the first camera 3111 and the second camera 3112 are shown in FIG. 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto. At this time, the camera unit 3110 can recognize objects within the poultry farm. Here, the object may be chicken or other livestock raised in a poultry farm. The camera unit 3110 can obtain mobility information of an object. Mobility information may include the movement trajectory of individual objects and the size and movement trajectory of populations grouped together with small precision. That is, the camera unit 3110 may be configured to recognize each object in the poultry farm and obtain mobility information about it. Additionally, as an example, the camera unit 3110 may further include an infrared sensor or another sensor. Within a poultry farm, only livestock can be the object, and other devices or inanimate objects may not be the object. In consideration of the above, the camera unit 3110 can check mobility by including an infrared sensor and other sensors that measure the body temperature of livestock. As another example, each object in a poultry farm is attached with identification information, and the camera unit 3110 can recognize the corresponding identification information. For example, livestock in a poultry farm can be given identification information through a small chip after birth and managed through this. The camera unit 3110 may obtain mobility information for each object based on the corresponding identification information.

Additionally, the camera unit 3110 can obtain information on the condition of the ground of the poultry farm. As an example, the status information of the ground of the poultry farm may be information on the amount of manure and the state of the manure. Additionally, various information within the poultry farm can be obtained through the camera unit 3110, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

As another example, the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 may include a sensing unit 3120. At this time, the sensing unit 3120 may include a temperature sensing unit 3121 that measures the temperature within the poultry farm. Additionally, the sensing unit 3120 may include a humidity sensing unit 3122 that measures the humidity within the poultry farm. Additionally, as an example, the sensing unit 3120 may acquire the amount of sunlight or other senseable information, and is not limited to specific information. That is, the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 can sense environmental information within the poultry farm based on the above-described information and transmit it to the control unit 3200. As an example, the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 and the control unit 3200 may be able to communicate as shown in FIG. 4, and data exchange may be performed based on this.

Afterwards, the control unit 3200 can control the lighting method and increase method in the poultry farm through the lighting unit 3300 based on the acquired environmental information. For example, the control unit 3200 may periodically obtain environmental information from the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 as shown in FIG. 5 . The control unit 3200 may build a database based on information obtained through the environmental information confirmation unit 3100. As an example, the control unit 3200 may build a database on object mobility through periodically acquired environmental information. More specifically, the control unit 3200 may obtain environmental information through the environmental information confirmation unit 3100 at multiple points in time based on a certain period (or request). The control unit 3200 may obtain a plurality of information about the mobility of objects through a plurality of acquired environmental information. That is, the control unit 3200 can obtain sample information about the mobility information of objects and build a database based on this. Here, the control unit 3200 can distinguish a plurality of acquired pieces of information and build a database based on the mobility level. As an example, the control unit 3200 may obtain environmental information in the morning, afternoon, and night and compare it. Additionally, the control unit 3200 can continuously obtain environmental information based on day, month, and year and build a database based on this. Here, the control unit 3200 can build a database by further considering temperature or humidity as environmental information. Additionally, the control unit 3200 may build a database to further consider information such as whether it is morning, afternoon, or night, or seasonal changes. For example, the mobility of objects may be less in winter than in summer, and this information can be reflected when building a database. That is, the control unit 3200 can build a database with various information acquired through the environmental information acquisition unit 3100. Here, a database can be built so that mobility can be distinguished at a certain level based on the movement of objects.

More specifically, the average moving speeds of each object can be calculated, and based on this, the mobility level can be distinguished for each corresponding speed. As another example, a database may be constructed so that ground condition information can be distinguished at a certain level based on information about the color of the manure or the amount of manure. As a specific example, the time elapsed after the excretion of the urine can be confirmed through the color of the waste, and sample information can be obtained based on this to build a database. In addition, sample information can be obtained through comparison of mobility information with the amount of manure and feed requirement rate, and a database can be built based on this.

Additionally, as an example, the control unit 3200 may build a database by further utilizing external information. For example, external information may be information obtained through statistics as shown in Table 1 above, or may be information obtained from another network or server, and is not limited to specific information. That is, the control unit 3200 can build a database using environmental information and external information obtained within the poultry farm and control the lighting unit 3300 based on this. After the database for environmental information is established, the control unit 3200 may generate illumination adjustment request information based on information acquired through the environmental information acquisition unit 3100. Additionally, the control unit 3200 can continuously update the database with the acquired environmental information, thereby improving accuracy. When the control unit 3200 generates illumination control request information based on the acquired environmental information, the control unit 3200 may utilize the lighting information for each growth period in Table 1 above. As an example, the control unit 3200 may control the lighting method of the lighting unit 3300. The lighting method may be a method of performing lighting based on specific conditions as shown in Table 1 above. As an example, the control unit 3200 may determine the lighting time and lighting method through a database built using the mobility information and other information of each object, and transmit command information for this to the lighting unit 3300. Additionally, as an example, the control unit 3200 may determine a method of adjusting the illumination intensity based on a database built in an incremental manner. As a specific example, the control unit 3200 may generate illumination adjustment request information through a database built based on mobility information in order to adjust the illumination intensity in real time after turning on.

More specifically, the average value of information for at least one of the mobility information value and the poultry farm ground condition information value may be defined based on the constructed database. Additionally, an average value may be specified for values based on other environmental information, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Here, if the value corresponding to the environmental information is above average, the feed consumption rate and growth rate can be determined based on the method of increasing or decreasing the illuminance. For example, based on the constructed database and illumination control information, the control unit 3200 may obtain information that when mobility is high and the illumination intensity is increased, the feed consumption rate is lowered and there is no change in the growth rate. That is, as described above, reference (or level) related information may be obtained, and illuminance adjustment request information may be generated based on this. Afterwards, the control unit 3200 transmits the illuminance adjustment request information to the lighting unit 3300, and the lighting unit 3300 can adjust the illuminance.

As a specific example of environmental information, referring to FIG. 6, information about the cluster of each object within a poultry farm can be obtained as mobility information. Additionally, information on the distance each object moves during a certain period of time can be obtained, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B. Here, the larger the overall average distance, the greater the mobility can be determined. Based on the above-described conditions, the control unit 3200 can build a database. Here, the database can be expressed as illuminance level information corresponding to each environmental information, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. Additionally, as an example, a lighting method corresponding to each environmental information may also be expressed, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The control unit 3200 can quantify each piece of information based on the environmental information and illuminance-related information (or lighting method information) obtained as described above and classify it into each level. In other words, each value can be quantified at a certain level. Afterwards, a weight is assigned to each level, and each level information can be synthesized to correspond to the illuminance level. As an example, referring to Figure 8a, when the mobility level is 1, the ground condition level is 2, and the temperature/humidity level is 3, a database is built on the information that the feed consumption rate is reduced and the mortality rate is reduced when the illuminance level is 1. It can be. Therefore, based on the acquired environmental information, the controller 3200 calculates the illuminance level (i.e., illuminance level 1) when the mobility level is 1, the ground condition level is 2, and the temperature/humidity level is 3, and calculates the illuminance level (i.e., illuminance level 1) based on this. Thus, illuminance control request information can be generated. Afterwards, the control unit 3200 transmits the corresponding information to the lighting unit 3300, and the lighting unit 3300 can adjust the current illuminance to correspond to illuminance level 1. Additionally, in FIG. 8B, mobility level 3, ground condition level 2, and temperature/humidity level 3 may correspond to illuminance level 5. The control unit 3200 may generate illuminance adjustment request information based on illuminance level 5 and transmit it to the lighting unit 3300 to control lighting.

Next, the lighting unit 3300 may include a lighting control unit 3310, an illumination control unit 3320, and a frequency control unit 3330. As another example, the lighting unit 3300 may further include another control unit related to lighting, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. As a specific example, the lighting control unit 3310 may be a component that controls the lighting method or lighting time in the poultry farm. As an example, the control unit 3200 can control the lighting timing and lighting method in the poultry farm based on the above-described information, and the lighting unit 3300, which has obtained information on lighting control, controls the lighting through the lighting control unit 3310. can do.

Additionally, as an example, in relation to a light that is turned on, the illuminance level not only includes information about the magnitude of the illuminance, but may also include information about the frequency. For example, the lighting unit 3300 can control the illuminance level of the light turned on through the illuminance control unit 3320 and adjust the frequency of the light on through the frequency control unit 3330. In other words, the lighting unit 3300 can control not only the illuminance but also the frequency range to provide an optimal frequency and illuminance environment by irradiating light with optimized frequency. Additionally, as an example, when the lighting unit 3300 controls the illuminance, the illuminance may be determined based on the area with the lowest illuminance among the areas within the poultry farm. As another example, the illuminance may be set based on a preset reference area to be provided as a constant standard.

More specifically, even if illuminance is provided within a poultry farm, the illuminance may not be uniform. Additionally, as an example, the illuminance may change in real time for each area based on the amount of sunlight or other conditions. For example, referring to FIG. 9 , the control unit 3200 requests the lighting unit 3300 to adjust the illumination intensity, and the lighting unit 3300 controls the lighting intensity, but the lighting intensity for each area may be set differently. For example, the illuminance may be lowest in the first area in the morning, and the illuminance may be lowest in the second area in the afternoon. As another example, the illuminance of the first area may always be lower than that of other areas. In consideration of the above, the lighting unit can measure the illuminance of each area and control the illuminance based on the area with the lowest illuminance. Through this, the lighting unit 3300 can control the illumination level within the poultry farm and generate profits by lowering the feed consumption rate and mortality rate within the poultry farm.

Figure 10 is a flowchart showing a method of controlling lighting based on environmental information in a poultry farm in one embodiment of the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 10, a method of operating a server that controls lighting and lighting method based on environmental information in a poultry farm can be provided. Here, the server that controls the increase and lighting method may be the control unit described above. Additionally, as an example, the server that controls the intensification and lighting method may be a single lighting control system and may not be limited to a specific device. However, for convenience of explanation, the following description is based on the case where the server is the control unit. As an example, the server can obtain environmental information within the poultry farm (S1010).

At this time, the server can obtain environmental information within the poultry farm through the environmental information acquisition unit. As an example, the environmental information acquisition unit may acquire at least one of mobility information of objects in the poultry farm and ground condition information as environmental information through the camera unit. Additionally, the environmental information acquisition unit may acquire at least one of temperature information and humidity information within the poultry farm as environmental information through the sensing unit. Next, the server may build a database based on the acquired environmental information and lighting-related information. (S1020) As an example, the server may acquire environmental information through the environmental information acquisition unit and incremental information and lighting for each growth period of the objects. A database can be built based on information. The server controls growth and lighting based on environmental information acquired through the environmental information acquisition unit after the database is built. The average value of mobility information and each level information may be generated and included. In addition, the constructed database may generate and include the average value and each level information of the ground condition information included in the environment information based on the incremental information and lighting information for each growth period of the objects, which is shown in FIGS. 3 to 9 described above. It's the same.

Next, lighting control information is generated based on the constructed database (S1030), and lighting and lighting in the poultry farm can be controlled based on the generated lighting control information (S1040). As an example, the server controls lighting and lighting. In the case of control, the server may compare the mobility information of objects included in the acquired environment information with the average value and each level information of the mobility information of objects included in the constructed database. The server compares the ground condition information included in the acquired environmental information with the average value of the ground condition information and each level information of the objects included in the constructed database, and then controls the increase and lighting method based on the compared value. You can.

Additionally, as an example, when the server controls increasing and lighting, the server transmits control request information to the lighting unit, and the lighting unit can control whether to light through the lighting control unit based on the control request information. In addition, the lighting unit can control the illuminance size of the light turned on through the illuminance control unit based on the control request information, and control the frequency size of the light on through the frequency control unit, thereby controlling the light turned on. . Here, when controlling the illuminance and frequency of the lights, the illuminance and frequency can be controlled based on the area with the lowest illuminance in the poultry farm, as shown in FIG. 9 above.

The embodiments described above can be implemented at least partially as a computer program and recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media on which programs for implementing the embodiments are recorded include all types of recording devices that store data that can be read by a computer. Examples of computer-readable recording media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, and optical data storage devices. Additionally, computer-readable recording media may be distributed across computer systems connected to a network, and computer-readable codes may be stored and executed in a distributed manner. Additionally, functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing this embodiment can be easily understood by those skilled in the art to which this embodiment belongs.
