In order to realize more precise and efficient agriculture, it is necessary to divide the field into micro-divisions and perform appropriate agricultural work (referred to as agricultural work events in this institution) for each micro-division. That is, the contents of agricultural work events performed on the micro-division during cultivation (for example, the contents of fertilization work), and the contents of agricultural work events acquired in the micro-division during harvest (for example, the contents of the harvested crops) amount, taste, etc.) are recorded, and based on this record, the contents of the next agricultural work event (for example, the contents of fertilization work) are determined. However, in special circumstances, it is not possible to simply mechanically obtain the agricultural work event contents (for example, the amount of fertilizer in fertilization work) for the next micro-division based on the water quantity and taste in the past micro-division. There is a possibility that inappropriate agricultural event content may be assigned to a micro-division that has this. In addition, since the experience of agricultural workers is important in agriculture, when determining the content of agricultural work for a micro-section, considering the various circumstances in a specific micro-section and the experience of the agricultural workers can lead to more precise and efficient farming. is important to realize.

Taking these circumstances into consideration, when planning agricultural work events for micro-districts, there is a need for a farming system that takes into account not only the contents of past agricultural events, but also the special circumstances of specific micro-divisions and the experiences of agricultural workers. .

According to the present invention, a farming system for managing a field divided into a plurality of micro-divisions includes an agricultural work event management unit that manages event results in the micro-division unit for various agricultural work events performed on the field; an agricultural work event planning unit that calculates recommended event content in the micro-division unit in the agricultural work event performed on the packaging, and the recommended event content displayed on the monitor in the micro-division unit based on user input; An event content modification unit is provided for editing.

According to this configuration, the mechanically calculated recommended event content can be displayed on the monitor while the user can modify the recommended event content in minute sections. For example, the recommended fertilization amount allocated to each micro-division unit can be modified based on the experience of the user (agricultural worker, agricultural consultant, etc.). In this way, regarding the agricultural work events performed from this, the content of the recommended event, which is mechanically calculated, is divided into an area of several meters to tens of meters in all directions, taking into account the experience of agricultural workers who understand the special circumstances of specific micro-divisions and the current status of the field. By modifying the micro-division unit, more precise and efficient agriculture is realized.

In order to mechanically calculate the recommended event contents, it is simple to use a template selected from a group of templates prepared in advance based on the packaging type and agricultural work event. However, since the packaging type is determined by many factors, the agricultural work event can be derived from this. It is difficult to select the optimal template for the packaging work being done, and it is also difficult to create such a template in advance. Agricultural work is work that is repeated every year, and planning the next agricultural work based on past performance in the same field produces good results. In this regard, it is preferable if the calculation of the recommended event contents is performed based on the past event results.

For agricultural crops such as rice, the details (amount, timing, etc.) of seedling planting, fertilization, reagents, etc. are different depending on the variety (xxhikari, ○○komachi, etc.), so when determining the contents of agricultural work events, the variety should be considered. There is a need to take the differences into account. In this regard, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the calculation of the content of the recommended event is configured so that information on the variety of the crop that is the target of the agricultural work event is also taken into consideration.

The growth of crops depends on changes in environmental conditions such as weather and soil. Although such environmental conditions are substantially uniform across the entire pavement, there are many that differ when separated by several meters. In this regard, it is desirable to manage environmental conditions by allocating them to each micro-division. In this regard, one preferred embodiment of the present invention further includes a pavement environment information management unit that acquires pavement environment information in the micro-division unit and manages the pavement environment information in relation to the micro-division.

Field environment information that affects the growth of crops includes field ambient temperature, field temperature, sunlight hours, rainfall, ventilation, soil quality, soil depth, fertility, water management status, crop growth status, etc. Although this field environment information has been known for a long time, from the experience of agricultural workers, it is only used for agricultural work events at the next meeting, and it is difficult to assign field environment information to each micro-division and use it to calculate the contents of the agricultural work event at the next time. It wasn't thought of. However, if at least one of these field environment information is allocated to each micro-division and used for the next agricultural work event, more precise and efficient agriculture can be realized. In this regard, in one suitable embodiment of the present invention, the packaging environment information includes at least one of the surrounding packaging temperature, field temperature, sunlight hours, rainfall, ventilation, soil quality, soil depth, fertility, water management status, and crop growth status. It is included.

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the agricultural event planning unit uses event results spanning multiple years and field environment information as input data, and outputs a fertilization amount or a dosage amount or both as recommended event content for the micro-division. It is equipped with a machine learning module. In this configuration, the amount of fertilization and dosage is determined based on the results of past agricultural work and information on the field environment for each micro-division of the field, thereby realizing more precise and efficient agriculture. In addition, since the event results spanning multiple years are used as field environment information input parameters, the number of input parameters increases, and the obtained calculation results can be checked and corrected by skilled farmers, etc. It is desirable if the calculation module is configured as a machine learning module that can also use modifications by skilled farmers or the like as teacher data.

Packaging environment information and agricultural work events performed on packaging are classified into many types. In order to record such pavement environment information and agricultural work events over time using a coordinate location common to the pavement when managing each micro-division of the pavement, the various types of information to be recorded must be assigned a layer for each type. , It is suitable for storing various types of information in a layered structure. In this regard, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the packaging environment information management unit manages the packaging environment information using layers provided separately for each type of the packaging environment information and each time the packaging environment information is acquired. In another embodiment, the agricultural work event management unit is configured to manage the agricultural work event using layers provided separately for each type of the agricultural work event and for each execution date and time.

In rice farming, etc., the quantity and taste (based on protein content and moisture) of harvested grains are important, and this is influenced by the amount of fertilization and drug administration during primary or additional fertilization. Furthermore, the quality status obtained during the selection process of harvested crops (for example, the state of mixing of colored particles or unripe rice in rice farming) also serves as a valuable guideline for planning future agricultural work. In this regard, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the event result of the agricultural work event includes one or both of the crop quantity data and taste data acquired during the harvest operation, and acquired during the drying operation after the harvest. One or both of the yield data and taste data of the crops obtained, the amount of fertilization performed in one or both of the fertilization and additional fertilization operations, the dosage performed in the chemical administration operation, and the characteristics of the crops obtained in the selection operation. contains at least one of As a result, information that was previously considered separately, such as fertilization amount, drug administration, water quantity, taste, mixing ratio of defective products, etc., is integrated, and it becomes possible to optimally adjust the relationship between them, enabling precise and efficient agricultural work. It comes true.

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the recommended event content and the past event results related to the recommended event content are simultaneously displayed side by side on the monitor. With this configuration, the agricultural work planner can draw up an optimal agricultural work plan by comparing past performance with the next agricultural work plan based on past performance through the monitor screen.

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the recommended event content is modified by the event content modification unit, the recommended event content and past event content are displayed on the monitor in a form in which the micro-divisions are associated with each other. . With this configuration, farmers can compare past performance with the next agricultural work plan based on past performance through a monitor screen, make corrections as necessary, and perform optimal agricultural work.

To implement an agricultural work plan at the micro-section level of the field, for example, a fertilization/reagent work plan performed with the fertilization or chemical amount set for each micro-section, it is necessary to provide accurate control information to the fertilization/reagent machine as an agricultural machine. For this reason, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a control converts the event content finally determined by the agricultural event planning unit into control information in a format that can be used by the agricultural machine carrying out the event content and outputs it. An information output unit is further provided. By transmitting the control information output from the livelihood information output unit to the agricultural implement through a communication line or portable memory, etc., the control information is quickly and accurately set to the agricultural implement, ensuring a reliable agricultural work plan in the desired micro-section unit. It runs properly.

The outline of the farming system according to the present invention will be explained using FIG. 1. The farming system described here is an example used for rice farming, but it can also be used for various crops such as wheat, corn, ginseng, and onions. This farming system is a computer system (5) equipped with a layered database as a data recording unit (60). The computer system 5 is installed in a management center where many farms are registered and participating, and each farm can access the computer system 5 using a communication line such as the Internet. In this data recording unit 60, a layer dividing the pavement outline generated based on the pavement map data into a plurality of micro-divisions provides pavement environment information about this pavement for each type of agricultural work event performed on this pavement. It is written for each type. Here, 5m x 5m is adopted as the size of the micro-division, but other sizes may be adopted, and different sizes may be adopted depending on agricultural work events. Since location data corresponding to map coordinates is assigned to micro-divisions, each micro-division can be specified according to its location on the map. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 1, a layer for recording the pavement environment information for each type is created at each measurement period of the pavement environment information. That is, this data recording unit 60 also records the history of agricultural work events and packaging environment information.

Agricultural work events recorded in the layer of the data recorder 60 include rice planting work, fertilization work (including additional fertilization work), reagent work, water management work, growth situation monitoring work, harvest work, quality evaluation work, etc. there is. As an event result obtained along with the implementation of an agricultural work event, in fertilization work or reagent work, the amount of fertilization or reagent for each micro-division is obtained, and in harvest work and quality evaluation work performed simultaneously with harvest work, the quantity per micro-division is obtained. and taste is obtained. If the nature of the crop obtained in the sorting operation performed after harvest is, for example, rice or barley farming, the results of the color screening test (detection of colored particles or immature particles caused by stink bugs) are colored particles or immature particles. The occurrence situation is recorded in units of large sections of the packaging. Additionally, the yield and taste of crops such as grains are sometimes measured as part of the drying process after harvest.

Regarding field environment information, crop growth conditions, etc. can be recorded in micro-division units, but sunlight hours, rainfall, ventilation, field temperature, soil quality, soil depth, fertility, etc. are recorded in large-division units, and field surrounding temperature and water Management status is actually recorded on a package basis.

In addition, although not shown in FIG. 1, a pavement map is recorded in the data recording unit 60 as a basic layer of pavement. In addition, as field attribute data, field ID, field name, field location, information on crop type (rice, barley, corn, etc.), and information on varieties (xx Hikari, ○○ Komachi, etc.) are also recorded.

In Fig. 1, agricultural machinery 1 used in carrying out agricultural work events includes a tractor 1T that performs field plowing and rotary work, a rice planting/seeding machine 1P that performs seedling planting as a cultivation start operation, and a chemical agent. and a fertilization/reagent device (1F) that administers fertilizer or additional fertilizer, a drone (1D) that inspects the growth status of seedlings and rice ears from the sky, and a harvester (1C) that performs grain harvesting. These agricultural machines are equipped with magnetic position detection devices using GNSS (Global Positioning Satellite Systems such as GPS), and can relate the detected driving position (or flight position) to the event results. Various data generated by the agricultural equipment 1 can be sent to the computer system 5 that constructs the data recording unit 60 through a wireless data transmission device or portable memory device.

In FIG. 1, examples of layers created in the data recording unit 60 include a taste layer, a quantity layer, a work path layer, a fertilization layer, a growth state layer, a soil fertility layer, a soil quality layer, and a soil depth layer. The computer system 5 is equipped with an agricultural event management unit 61 and a pavement environment information management unit 62 that manage event results at a micro-compartment level in various agricultural events conducted on the field. The agricultural work event management unit 61 can manage agricultural work events using layers assigned separately for each type of agricultural work event and for each implementation date and time. At that time, the agricultural event management unit 61 records and manages data related to the micro-division sent from the agricultural equipment 1 to an appropriate layer. The packaging environment information management unit 62 manages the packaging environment information using layers assigned separately for each type of packaging environment information and each time the packaging environment information is acquired. For example, the packaging environment information management unit 62 records and manages packaging environment information sent from the agricultural equipment 1 or a measuring device (not shown), or artificially created packaging environment information, in an appropriate layer. At that time, if the packaging environment information is related to a micro-division, it is recorded in relation to the micro-division.

In the work path layer, a work path, which is a driving trajectory calculated from the self-position acquired over time by a self-position detection device, is recorded. For example, the work route of the rice planting/seeding machine 1P can be used to create the travel route of the subsequent fertilization/reagent machine 1F or the harvester 1C.

Figure 2 shows the functional blocks of the management center computer system 5 used in this embodiment. The computer system 5 is provided from the control unit 10 of the agricultural machinery 1, which is the tractor 1T, the rice planting/seeding machine 1P, the fertilizing/reagent machine 1F, the drone 1D, and the harvester 1C, respectively. Receive and manage the event results of the agricultural work event conducted.

The computer system 5 includes a user interface management unit 50, an information input unit 51, an information output unit 52, a data recording unit 60, an agricultural event management unit 61, a packaging environment information management unit 62, and an agricultural work event management unit 62. It is provided with an event planning unit 63, an event content modification unit 64, and a control information output unit 65. The information input unit 51 inputs information sent through a WAN such as the Internet, and the information output unit 52 transmits information generated by the computer system 5 to the agricultural machine 1 or the user via a WAN such as the Internet. Transmitted to terminal (UT). The user interface management unit 50 has a function of creating and managing user interface screens such as homepages in a cloud service system, server client system, etc., and includes various external devices including the control unit 10 of the agricultural machine 1. Manages information input and output between terminals.

The data recording unit 60, agricultural event management unit 61, and packaging environment information management unit 62 have the functions described using FIG. 1. When an agricultural event is carried out, data such as agricultural work events managed by the agricultural work event management unit 61 or event results managed by the field environment information management unit 62 are stored in the micro-division unit of the field where the farm work event was carried out, and are stored in the data recorder. It is recorded in (60). In other words, the data is managed between two-dimensional expansion and temporal expansion.

The agricultural work event planning unit 63 provides recommended event contents in a micro-division unit for agricultural work events performed on fields by each agricultural machine 1, and provides past event results extracted from the data recording unit 60. Calculated based on The content of the recommended event varies depending on the agricultural work event. For example, in fertilization work, it is the fertilizer dosage per micro-division. For this reason, the fertilizer/reagent device 1F can adjust the fertilizer dosage on a micro-division basis, is equipped with a magnetic position detection function by GNSS, and can administer fertilizer at the fertilizer dosage allocated to each micro-compartment. The fertilizer dosage per micro-division in the recommended event content is calculated based on the past yield per micro-division and field environment information.

When the agricultural event planning unit 63 uses event results spanning multiple years and field environment information as input data for outputting recommended event content regarding fertilization or dosage, the amount of input data becomes large. In order to obtain the desired output from a large number of different types of input data, the agricultural event planning unit 63 is equipped with a machine learning module.

The output of recommended event contents by the agricultural event planning unit 63 is executed upon request through a user terminal (UT) owned by each farm. The output recommended event content is converted into a format that can be visualized in the user terminal (UT) by the user interface management unit 50, and is sent to the user terminal (UT) through the information output unit 52. On the user terminal (UT) side, the received recommended event contents are visualized through monitor display or printout. Farmers can make a final agricultural work plan while viewing the recommended event contents visualized.

In order to appreciate the recommended event contents, it is necessary to refer to the results of past agricultural work events conducted on micro-sections of the same field, so the results of such past agricultural work events are also displayed on the user terminal in a format that can be visualized in micro-section units. Sent to (UT). As a result of examining the recommended event content, if correction is necessary, correction information is sent from the user terminal UT to the computer system 5 based on user input, and the recommended event content is modified in minute division units. This correction process is performed by the event content modification unit 64. At that time, the event content modification unit 64 may provide the modified content as teacher data to the machine learning module of the agricultural event planning unit 63, and it may be reflected in the output of the recommended event content for the next session.

Figure 3 shows a monitor screen (MS) in which recommended event content and reference information are displayed side by side, used when appreciating the recommended event content and modifying the recommended event content based on the farmer's experience, etc. At that time, the positional relationships of each micro-section are displayed in correspondence. In this example, as recommended event content, a fertilization plan map is displayed in the lower right area of the monitor screen MS, and a fertilization map showing the results of fertilization work carried out in the previous year is displayed in the reference information area in the lower left corner of the monitor screen MS. This is shown. In both cases, the pavement is divided into micro-sections of 5 m x 5 m, and the shades of the micro-sections indicate the fertilizer dosage, with the darker the dosage, the greater the dosage. The upper area of the monitor screen MS displays map information that can be displayed as a thumbnail in the reference information area. In this example, a food map, a water quantity map, a soil quality map, and a soil fertility map are displayed, but by scrolling, other information maps are displayed. By dragging and dropping the information map displayed as a thumbnail into the reference information area, the information map desired by the user is enlarged and displayed in the reference information area.

If you want to modify the fertilization dosage in the fertilization plan map, which is the content of the recommended event, on the monitor screen (MS), select the modified micro-division and operate the plus button or minus button. When the modification is completed, the event content modification unit 64 records the modified event content as decision event content in the data recording unit 60. In this embodiment, a control information output unit 65 is provided that converts the event contents into control information in a format that can be used by the agricultural machine 1 carrying out the event and outputs the contents, based on the decision event contents. In this case, control information is generated to realize the dosage in the micro-division defined by the map coordinates so that the fertilization/reagent device 1F administers the fertilizer according to the contents of the determined fertilization operation, and the fertilization/reagent It is sent to the control unit 10 of machine 1F.

As described above, when each farm plans an agricultural event, the computer system 5 is accessed, the data recorded in the data recording unit 60 is extracted, and the agricultural event results and field environment information are collected. Displayed on the user terminal (UT). For example, when making a fertilization plan for a specific field, taste, yield, soil (soil quality), fertility, soil depth, growth conditions, solar time (sunshine hours), ventilation, and color selection in the micro-division unit of the field. It is possible to display situations, etc. on the screen and refer to them. In addition, when making a climate control plan, the growth situation, pest damage situation, ground temperature, accumulated temperature, sunshine hours, precipitation situation, solar time (sunshine time), ventilation, etc. in each micro-division unit of the field are displayed on the screen. It is possible to refer to In this way, various information is displayed in micro-division units, allowing precise planning of agricultural work events. Additionally, rather than each farm individually making plans for agricultural events, an agricultural consultant may access the computer system 5 on behalf of each farm and make plans for agricultural events.

The agricultural machine 1 that performs agricultural work events in the field is equipped with a function to record the agricultural work event results for each micro-division and a function to directly or indirectly send the recorded agricultural work event results to the computer system 5. It is done.

This harvester 1C includes a crawler-type traveling device 101, a working device 102 such as a harvesting device or a threshing device, a quantity measuring device 103 that measures the quantity of harvested grains at the time of harvest, and a taste of the grains. It is equipped with a taste measuring device 104 that measures the harvest and a sensor group 105 that detects the status of each device in the harvester.

The control unit 10 includes a travel ECU 11 that controls the travel device 101, a work ECU 12 that controls the work device 102, and a machine status detection ECU that processes detection signals from the sensor group 105. (13), a GPS unit 14 that detects its own position, and a measurement ECU 15 that processes measurement signals from the quantity measurement device 103 and the taste measurement device 104 are provided. Additionally, an information generation unit 2 and an information communication unit 16 are provided to send to the computer system 5 the quantity, taste, and work route data for each micro-section as agricultural work event results. The operation ECU 12, the device status detection ECU 13, the GPS unit 14, the measurement ECU 15, the information generation unit 2, and the information communication unit 16 are connected via a vehicle-mounted LAN or other data transmission line. are connected to each other.

The information generation unit 2 includes a work basic data generation unit 21, a driving trajectory data generation unit 22, a quantity data generation unit 31, a taste data generation unit 32, and a packaging operation data generation unit 20. It is available. The basic work data generation unit 21 generates basic information about the agricultural work performed, such as work details, work date and time, field ID of the field worked, and fuel consumption. The driving trace data generation unit 22 time-wise processes the self-position (positioning data) acquired from the GPS unit 14 and generates work path data indicating the driving trace during work. The quantity data generating unit 31 generates quantity data representing the quantity related to one's location (map coordinates) based on data from the quantity measuring device 103. The taste data generation unit 32 generates taste data related to one's location (map coordinates) based on data from the taste measurement device 104.

The packaging operation data generation unit 20 combines the data generated from the work basic data generation unit 21, the driving trajectory data generation unit 22, the quantity data generation unit 31, and the taste data generation unit 32 to produce agricultural produce. Generate task event data. The generated agricultural work event data is sent to the computer system 5 through the information and communication unit 16.

In FIG. 4, functional blocks are shown using the harvester 1C as an example of the agricultural implement 1. However, with regard to the information generation unit 2, other agricultural implements 1 also have a similar configuration. For example, in the fertilization/reagent device 1F shown in FIG. 5, a fertilization/reagent device is mounted as the working device 102, and the information generation unit 2 includes a quantity data generation unit 31 and a taste data generation unit. Instead of the unit 32, a fertilization data generating unit 33 and a reagent data generating unit 34 are provided. The fertilization data generation unit 33 generates fertilization data indicating the fertilizer dosage for each micro-division in relation to its location (map coordinates). The reagent data generation unit 34 generates reagent data indicating the drug dosage for each micro-segment in relation to the self-position (map coordinates).

In Fig. 6, an example of agricultural work event data generated by the information generating unit 2 of the harvester 1C and sent to the computer system 5 is shown. This agricultural work event data includes “package ID”, “package name”, “area”, “area”, “crop type”, “variety”, etc. as field basic information, and is used for this field and harvest period (1C). Micro-compartment data regarding the micro-compartment set for this is also included. Micro-division data includes “micro-division ID” and “coordinate values.” The “coordinate value” is a map coordinate value (may be an absolute map coordinate value or a map coordinate value with a specific point of this pavement as the origin) that specifies the location of each micro-division ID. Data representing the agricultural work event results of the harvester (1C) are linked to the ID of the harvester (1C), and include “work details,” “execution date and time,” “work time,” “fuel consumption,” “work route,” and It includes work basic data groups such as “crop type” and work performance data groups such as “quantity” and “taste” linked to “micro-division ID.”

In Fig. 7, an example of agricultural work event data generated by the information generation unit 2 of the fertilization/reagent device 1F and sent to the computer system 5 during fertilization work and drug administration work is shown. . The work basic data group of the basic packaging information and agricultural work event results is substantially the same as that of the harvest period (1C), except that “fertilizer type” is included instead of “crop type”. The work performance data group includes “fertilizer dosage” linked to “micro-compartment ID”.

In the above-described example, the micro-division is set before implementation of the agricultural work event, and the result of the agricultural work event is assigned to the micro-division in the agricultural machine 1. Instead of this, it is also possible to perform allocation of the results of agricultural work events to micro-divisions on the computer system 5 side. In that case, in the agricultural machine 1, the results of the agricultural work event are linked to the own location (map coordinates) from the GPS unit 14 and converted into data. The agricultural event management unit 61 of the computer system 5, which has received such agricultural event data, displays agricultural event results (quantity, food, fertilizer application amount, drug administration amount, etc.) linked to map coordinates in a predetermined format. The packaging is classified by size, assigned to the obtained micro-divisions, and recorded in the corresponding layer of the data recording unit 60.

Field environment information is not generated by ordinary agricultural equipment (1), but includes measurement data from water management devices or environmental measurement devices installed in the field, data downloaded from servers of external organizations, measurement data acquired by farmers themselves, etc. am. Data that cannot be recorded in micro-division units, such as the results of agricultural work events, are recorded in field units or large-division units. By comparing or overlapping the distribution of environmental information regarding such field environment information with the distribution of agricultural work event results in micro-division units, guidance in terms of the field environment in agricultural work planning can be obtained.
