Description

CYBER FARM SYSTEM IN CAPABLE OF GROWING CROPS OR DOMESTIC ANIMALS THROUGH THE NETWORK AND METHOD OF MANAGING THAT}

The present invention relates to a cyber farm using a network. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cyber farm system and an operation method of determining a work content according to a user's instruction and enabling farm operation according to a user's request.

As industry and technology have developed, people have performed a variety of tasks through various types of occupations in industrialized cities. As a result, the transition to large cities, both young and old, has been facilitated, and accordingly, people's dwelling forms have also shifted to the life of the city. Thus, as people's lives became accustomed to the environment in large cities, people avoided physical labor.

However, people do not erase their desire to live with nature, even in a mechanized civilization, and weekend farms, which provide land of a certain size in rural or fishing villages and visit private lands on weekends and holidays, It is gaining great popularity. Such a weekend farm is to provide or rent land of a certain size directly to the city residents, and to visit the land at a fixed time such as a weekend so as to cultivate desired plants or animals. On the other hand, urban residents are not just visiting on weekends, but are also increasingly buying crops or animals for business purposes by purchasing land for the purpose of ownership and appointing a manager. At this time, the land can be managed in various ways such as crops such as rice, barley, field crops such as fruits or vegetables, livestock products such as pigs or goats.

On the other hand, when a landlord owns land in a rural area, such as a rural or fishing village, and manages land through a manager, the land owner frequently inquires the manager of the land management status, and crops or livestock products grown from the manager. The status of the management should be reported and sometimes the land should be checked in person. However, if the landowner is living far away from the land, it is often difficult to check the condition of the land, and the landlord, via telephone or other means of communication, communicates the land condition, the growing condition of the crop, or the breeding status of the livestock. Listening will not give you satisfaction with land management.

In order to solve this problem, conventionally, a service method for connecting a user and a farm or a livestock farm through a network such as the Internet, and relaying crop cultivation or livestock breeding on land with each other has been proposed.

In general, the Internet refers to a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP / IP) between a plurality of unit networks divided by an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a plurality of hosts having individual IP addresses provided in each unit network. Based on / Internet Protocol, it is a data communication network that can perform data communication using a local area network (LAN) or a public switched telephone network (PSTN). In this case, the hosts mean that a computer or a computer having a communication modem is connected to a telephone, and communication is possible only with a unique IP address assigned to each host. Through these networks, users search for information through the Internet, called the "sea of information," and try to extract the desired information and make it their own information.

Figure 1 shows a general network diagram for the Internet connection. Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional network for accessing the Internet is connected to each other such that a data transmission is possible between a user's Internet terminal device 10 and a web server 18 or an ISP (Internet Service Provider) 20. 16) is provided. The internet terminal device 10 is provided with a command input by a user to obtain desired information. The wired network 12 receives a command and an IP address of a user from the Internet terminal device 10 and connects with another terminal device. The gateway 14 receives a command and an IP address from the wired network 12 and converts the data into data used in the Internet. The Internet 16 arranges connections between different networks to carry out commands sent from the gateway 14. The web server 18 receives a command from the Internet 40 and provides Web information. The ISP 20 receives a command from the Internet 16 and connects with another network. Intranet 22 is connected to the Internet 16 via ISP 20 and may itself have a database 24.

Looking at the operation of such a network with reference to Figure 1 as follows.

First, a user attempts to connect to a network to which a user wants to connect by executing an Internet program such as an explorer in the Internet terminal device 10. This connection attempt is made by connecting to the gateway 14 connected to the Internet 16 through a wired network 12 to which the Internet terminal device 10 is connected, and then connecting to the Internet 16 using a protocol such as TCP / IP. . Once the connection is established, the Internet 16 notifies the Internet terminal device 10 of the information of the place where the user wants to connect, and thereafter performs data transmission with each other. If the desired information is in a database of a specific network connected to the Internet 16, it is possible to connect to the corresponding intranet 22 via the ISP 20 and to access the information of the database 24 connected to the intranet 22. have.

Such a method of linking a consumer who wants to manage or operate a farm using the Internet to a producer located near a real land and growing or raising crops or livestock is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication Nos. 2000-059270, 2001-026705 and 2000-. Each disclosed in 058295.

2 illustrates a service screen of a 'cyber farm' disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-059270.

Referring to FIG. 2, the conventional 'cyber farm' receives information on varieties, farming techniques, scale or cost from producers, and provides information on varieties or areas available for sale to consumers. In addition, through cyber transactions between the producer and the consumer, the land is sold by the consumer, and the production cost or the cost of crop delivery are provided. However, the 'cyber farm' disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-059270 relates to a relay system for land distribution and crop delivery between producers and consumers through a network, and does not provide a specific service method.

Figure 3 shows a flow chart of 'the cyber sale, cyber cultivation and cyber harvest method between the livestock farms and consumers of agricultural and livestock products through the Internet disclosed in the domestic patent publication No. 2001-026705.

Referring to FIG. 3, in the conventional cyber distribution method, a producer of agricultural and livestock products accesses a cyber natural farm system through the Internet and publishes production information and a farm formula (s1). Consumers request cyber farm stocks, which are the right to look up production information and distribute their products (s2) and pay the general financial institution, not the payment gateway, and then provide the farm stock payment information to the cyber natural farm system. If the producer takes over the cyber farm stock to the consumer, the consumer acquires the cyber farm stock that meets the conditions of the farm farmer (s3). After the payment information of the farm stock is entered, the cyber natural farm system provides the producer with cash for the cyber farm stock allocation. In the cyber cultivation, a CCD camera photographs the process of remote cultivation of the actual agricultural product by using a real-time streaming service of the cyber natural farming system, and acquires the image and sound of the agricultural product of the remote cultivation of the agricultural product, so that the growth state data of the producer is concentrated. Digitize in real time (s4). The data of the agricultural products converted into digital format are provided to the consumers who acquired the rights in the real time stream through the Internet so that the development status of the agricultural products can be observed and confirmed (s5). Cyber harvesting allows consumers to continually identify them as cyber citizens to grow their produce, manage orders to deliver the right produce at the right time to harvest, and mail and courier producers and produce at the point or time they want. To receive through (s6).

Such a cyber sale method allows the consumer to exercise a part of the rights to the farm or land where the stock was purchased by relaying the stock on the land or farm between the producer and the consumer. The disadvantage is that there can be no consumer intervention in management.

Figure 4 shows the configuration of the 'cyber farm operating method' disclosed in the domestic patent publication No. 2000-058295.

Referring to FIG. 4, the conventional cyber farm operating method opens a cyber farm on the Internet, and recruits members to register with the cyber farm. A member owns an object of animal or plant which he wishes to raise through a cyber farm, and for this purpose, the member pays a deposit on condition of entrusting the sale and management to the cyber farm. On the basis of this, members can freely purchase and sell using cyber farms when selling their own objects. In addition, the member can check the status of raising and growing the object entrusted to the cyber farm from time to time, thereby confirming the state of change of the changed asset value and requesting the cyber farm to implement a new consignment management work. In response, the cyber farm receives the deposit of the member for the commissioning and commissioning fee, and acts on the member's business activities, manages the member's account, and manages the change of ownership between the members and manages the member's object. A manager shall be selected to carry out the actual rearing and cultivation management of the target. The manager shall report the management status of the object to the cyber farm from time to time in managing the object owned by the member, and the manager charges the cost necessary for raising the object through the cyber farm.

As such, the cyber farm operation method allows a consumer to purchase a cyber farm and manage farms and grow copper and plants through a foster manager. However, even in such a case, it is difficult for the consumer to observe the current state of cultivation of animals or plants through actual nature such as a weekend farm. In particular, since consumers raise and cultivate animals or plants through a manager, they cannot directly engage in natural learning or animal and plant breeding processes, and it is difficult to operate farms according to consumers' intentions. That is, consumers cannot buy or rent small or large farms to grow desired types of crops or raise livestock in designated areas of the farms. In particular, consumers living in cities often want to cultivate crops for natural learning in addition to the cultivation of crops for sale, and to raise their favorite livestock products. Hope. In addition, the consumer may show the growing process of various types of crops, and may require the raising of various livestock products, for the natural learning of the child. In addition, in case of farmers, various methods of crop cultivation or livestock raising are experimented with, and it is necessary to exchange opinions with other farmers. Can't.

The present invention is to solve the problems as described above, by directing the operation of the farm farm farmers purchase or rent the farm directly, and the farm manager to perform this, so that the farm can operate the farm in the desired form in remote places The purpose is to provide a cyber farm system and operation method.

In addition, the present invention provides a cyber farm system capable of efficient farm operation by determining the validity of the cultivation or breeding instruction directed from the cyber farmer by having data necessary for cultivation and breeding for the crops or breeding livestock products cultivable on the farm; The purpose is to provide a method of operation.

In addition, the present invention provides a cyber farmer to buy or rent a farm, by providing a simulation function for the agricultural products to be cultivated or raised on the designated farm, cyber farmers to efficiently select the crops to be grown or livestock to breed Its purpose is to provide farm systems and methods of operation.

In addition, the present invention enables the exchange of information about the farm operating method or agricultural products between the cyber farmers who grow crops or raise livestock products, and the cyber farm system and operating method that can sell agricultural products between each other The purpose is to provide.

10 is a view illustrating a configuration of crop data cultivable in a farm in a cyber farm system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, the crop data may include vegetables, fruits, and other favorite foods that can be cultivated by a manager according to the farmer's instructions. In general, farmers using cyber farm systems can grow various types of crops according to their personal tastes and purposes. That is, you can grow vegetables such as lettuce, garlic, peppers, green onions, or fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, tangerines, or peaches. In particular, farmers may grow unusual crops to develop new varieties. In this way, in the case of growing a new variety, the farmer can exchange it with other farmers by preparing trial and error, problems, and other experimental data during the growing process.

11 is a view illustrating a configuration of livestock data that can be raised on a farm in a cyber farm system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, the livestock data relates to livestock that can be raised on a farm by a caretaker according to a farmer's instructions, and may include breeds such as cattle, pigs, goats, roe deer, sheep, chickens, or dogs. As described above, the livestock can be changed in various ways according to the taste or purpose of the farmer. In particular, the farmer may divide the farm purchased or rented into a plurality of areas, and may grow different crops or raise livestock in each area. The farmer can set such a division of farm areas or objects to be cultivated or raised in each area by accessing the cyber farm system. The information set by the farmer is provided to the manager of the farm concerned, who will grow the crop or raise the livestock according to the owner's instructions.

However, if the farmer is a novice who does not properly know how to grow or raise livestock, the instructions from the farmer may not be suitable for growing or raising livestock. In other words, crops are sowing time, sowing method, detailed cultivation method and harvesting time according to the climate, and livestock also have different food or mating method depending on the type. Thus, if the farmer does not know how to grow these detailed crops or how to raise livestock, the manager will not be able to grow or raise the livestock according to the farmer's instructions. In particular, in the case of providing the manager with the farmer's work instructions without any filtering, it may take a long time for the manager to inform the farmer of the problem. Therefore, the cyber farm system of the present invention has data on a general cultivation method and data on a breeding method according to the type of livestock according to each variety of crops, and the farmer's work instruction is a permissible range of the cultivation method or the breeding method. It has a function of determining whether it belongs to. In other words, if a farmer's work order falls within these tolerances, the work order is provided to the relevant manager, and if the farmer's work instructions are out of tolerance, the farmer is provided with a warning message informing the farmer of the wrong work order. Can provide a variety of farming opportunities.

12 illustrates the configuration of data relating to a method of growing crops in a farm in a cyber farm system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, data on a method of cultivating crops may be classified into parts related to crops, tillage, and harvesting. The data on sowing may include data on the variety of crops, the timing of sowing according to the varieties, the soil conditions in which the crops can grow, and the cost of sowing. Therefore, the farmer can instruct the caregiver sowing in consideration of the seeding time, the soil condition of the farm, the cost according to the variety to be cultivated. In the case of work orders exceeding this range, a warning message is issued to the farmer. Cultivation data may include water cycles, pesticide spraying, manure cycles, data on the installation and removal of vinyl houses and the costs of each cultivation process when using vinyl houses. Harvest data will include data on harvest time, harvest method, equipment used, and costs for harvesting, depending on the variety grown. As a result, the farmer can instruct the work on sowing, tilling and sowing in various forms within the allowable range, and can cultivate the crop according to the taste or purpose of the individual.

For example, if a farmer who grows red peppers gives instructions to the plastics in a timely manner or does not require red peppers, the cyber farm system judges whether the work instructions are valid from data on how to grow crops. If you do not, tell your farmer.

As such, the data for determining the permissible range for the farmer's work order will be applied to the data on how to raise livestock in addition to the data on the cultivation of crops.

13 is a view illustrating a configuration of data relating to a method of raising livestock that can be raised in a farm in a cyber farm system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13, data on a method of raising livestock will include a detailed breeding process of raising livestock from childbirth by mating. The mating data will vary in timing depending on the breeding of the livestock and will include data on space, costs, and food required for breeding. Therefore, the farmer can designate a certain area or the whole area of the farm according to the breed of the livestock, and configure the breeding space to instruct the manager about the contents of the breeding of the corresponding livestock.

On the other hand, farmers can grow crops or raise livestock in several experimental ways. For such farmers, there may be a time or work order outside the permissible range. For this purpose, if it is determined that the work order of the farmer is out of the acceptable range, it is desirable to inform the farmer and then allow the farmer to choose to modify the work order.

In addition, the cyber farm system of the present invention can record the growing process of the crop or the breeding process of the livestock, so that it can be exchanged with other farmers.

14 is a view illustrating the configuration of detailed cultivation result data for a cultivation process of a crop in a cyber farm system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 14, the cultivation result data includes a variety of crops, growth period, growth degree, output price of harvested crops, yield per unit area, soil quality of land on which crops are grown, seeds used, and detailed cultivation methods for each period. Information about the contents of the cultivation process, and image data photographed according to the cultivation process. These cultivation results data is treated as a farm log and preserved, and other farmers may grow their crops by referring to the farm log of other farmers before growing the crop.

On the other hand, even when raising livestock on a farm, this breeding result data can be used as a farming journal.

15 is a block diagram of an application module and a detailed system used in a cyber farm system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

15, in the cyber farm system of the present invention, the application module 260 is a farm credit evaluation module 262 for evaluating the credit status of the farm according to the asset status of the farm, and the purchase or rental of the farm by the consumer A transaction control module 264 that manages and manages a trade of crops or livestock among farmers, and an instructional work determination module that determines whether the work instruction content from the farmers is within the range allowed for the cultivation of crops or the raising of livestock. 266) and a management status determination module 268 for notifying the farmer if there is no work instruction required for farm management for a period of time from the farmer.

The farm credit evaluation module 262 evaluates the farm's credit based on information on the farm's asset status, the current owner or the farm status, and so on, in order to give confidence to consumers who want to use the service through the cyber farm system. Have your child buy or rent a farm. The credit status thus assessed will determine the purchase or rental price of the farm. At this time, the current farm state is preferably provided to the consumer through the image data captured by the video camera.

The transaction control module 264, if there is a purchase or rental application from the consumer according to the credit rating data of the farm, grants the consumer management rights for the farm by the corresponding price and collects the farm purchase or rental amount from the consumer's account. Transfer At this time, the management of the farm by the consumer is carried out for one year or a certain period, it is preferable to place a certain amount of deposit as well as the amount required for the purchase or rental of the farm. These deposits can be used to pay management fees to farm managers, or to purchase and manage farming crops or livestock. In addition, the transaction control module 264 may be used not only to buy or rent a farm, but also to sell or exchange crops or livestock grown on the farm.

The instruction work determination module 266 is a part for judging whether the contents of the farmer's work instruction are within the allowable range according to data on the general cultivation method or the breeding method of the livestock according to the variety of crops cultivable on the farm. At this time, if the farmer's work instruction is out of the allowable range of the method of growing the crop or raising the livestock, a warning message is issued to the corresponding farmer. Direct the cultivation of livestock or raising livestock.

By allowing the farmer to direct the work of the management of the farm, that is, the cultivation of the crop or the raising of the livestock, the operation of the farm by the farmer's will can be achieved. However, management of the farm will not be possible if work orders are not provided in a timely manner due to the farmer's personal circumstances. Therefore, when there is no work instruction from the farmer for a certain period of time using the data on the method of cultivating the crop or the data on the method of raising the livestock, the farmer may provide a message requesting the work instruction. In such a case, the message may be sent as a farmer's e-mail or as a text message to a wireless communication terminal.

Accordingly, the management state determination module 268 recently remembers the work instruction from the farmer, and then, if there is no work instruction necessary for the cultivation of the crop or the raising of the livestock for a certain period of time thereafter, the management state determination module 268 notifies the farmer. Notify.

Details about a farm will include asset information about the farm's location, area, soil, current farm condition, and the bond or debt relationship of that farm. The farm's credit information may include information about whether it is available for purchase or rental, and information about the current owner, the purchase or rental price, or the estimated cost of growing or raising livestock. Once the credit status assessment for each farm is made, the cyber farm system will store it in a database and provide the customer with the credit information of the farm, if requested by the consumer (s12).

18 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen when a credit information about each farm is provided to a consumer in a cyber farm operating method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 18, since information on each farm includes a location, an area, a credit status, and a price, a consumer can identify farm information that can be purchased or rented according to a desired region or a desired price or area.

The consumer selects a farm to buy or rent according to the credit status of farms located in each region, and sends a purchase or rental request signal of the farm to the cyber farm system. In the cyber farm system, if there is a purchase or rental application from a consumer, a contract of sale or rental between the current owner of the farm and the consumer will be concluded through an electronic payment system between the financial institutions (s14). As such, the appropriate financial institution will transfer the purchase or lease of the farm from the consumer's account to the current owner of the farm, and the farm's own or lease right will be granted to the corresponding consumer. A consumer who purchases or rents a farm is authorized as a farmer from the time of purchase or lease, the right to cultivate crops, raise livestock, or manage various farms (s16). Accordingly, the farmer can divide the detailed area for growing or raising livestock from the total area of the purchased or rented farm, and designate the crop to be grown or livestock for each area. At this time, the farmer will be able to properly adjust this, considering the soil quality and location of the farm, the current state of the farm.
