For example, in the evening study at school or making homework for summer vacation, they may go out to the natural environment such as forest, grassland or riverside sand field to collect insects or collect plants, and come back with insects or plants collected. We investigated with plant illustration book.

In school outings and free learning, students went out to aquariums, zoos, and museums to see real animals and exhibits (such as academic materials) and gain knowledge.

However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in nature conservation, and the concern that such a large number of people gathering insects and plants has resulted in the destruction of the ecosystem and the natural environment. In addition, it was difficult for non-experts to make samples so that they would not corrode collected insects or plants.

On the other hand, when viewing animals and exhibits in an aquarium, a zoo, or a museum, the knowledge obtained is temporary and is often forgotten when the time passes.

The object of the present invention is to collect and learn ecological data such as insects and plants in the actual natural environment without destroying the ecosystem and the natural environment, and moreover, in the aquarium, zoo or museum, animal data or exhibit data It is to provide a data collection method that can deepen the knowledge by collecting.

In order to achieve the above object, in the data collection method of the present invention, a plurality of transmission means for transmitting a predetermined identification signal is provided in a collection area at a collection point of each natural object such as an insect or a plant and transmitted from the transmission means. The mobile phone collecting means for receiving the identification number and storing ecological data of the natural product which survives at the collecting point in the collecting area in each collector of the natural object, and the collector collecting the identification number in the collecting area. By searching for a collecting point where the transmitting means is installed and receiving the signal directed to the portable collecting means, the ecological data corresponding to the signal is imaged and / or voiced by the portable collecting means and stored again.

The collection area is preferably a facility such as a natural park or botanical garden. In addition, the receiving range of the portable collecting means is set to the narrow angle, and the portable collecting means has a collecting button, and the identification signal from the transmitting means is received by the portable collecting means. It is also possible to set the signal to be memorized only when the collecting button is pressed within seconds.

The portable collecting means 19 is provided with a control device 20 and includes a data memory 21, an image display device 22, an audio device 23, a collection button 24, a confirmation button 25, and a collection device. A receiving device 26, a receiving device 27 for checking access information, a transmitting and receiving device 28, and a power supply (battery) 29 are connected to the control device 20, respectively. The outer shape of the portable collecting means 19 is, for example, formed into a net basket shape having a string hanging around the neck, and the collector of the natural material attaches the portable collecting means 10 (eg, to the neck). While carrying, the collection point where each transmitting means 1 ... in the collecting area is installed is searched (see Fig. 6).

In the portable collecting means 19, the image display device 22 is an apparatus for displaying an image indicating that the transmitting means 1 is close or an image of the collected (ecological data of collected natural products). The current situation (information or elapsed time of the collection) can also be displayed. In addition, the sound device 23 is a device that has sound sources and speakers such as insect crying sounds and outgoing sounds, and emits sound or effect sounds according to each situation. The data memory 21 is a device that stores personal data and image data.

And the control apparatus 20 is comprised with computer apparatuses, and is an apparatus which controls and manages these peripheral apparatuses.

By the way, the data memory 21 stores ecological data of a large number of natural objects (insects, plants, etc.) that survive at the collection point in the collection area. The ecological data of this natural product is information about each natural object which survives at each collection point. Specifically, there are information about plants living in close proximity such as inumu, plantain, chicken grass, and clover, and information about insects such as grasshoppers, crickets, and rattlestalks living in the region 42. In addition, there is information about plants that survive around the sands of rivers such as reeds, and information about insects such as grasshoppers, burmese ashes, and dragonflies that survive in this area 43. In addition, there is information about flowers used for flower beds, such as tulips and pansy, and information about insects and spiders such as butterflies and bees that survive in this region 44. In addition, there is information about insects that survive in the shade of rocks scattered in rivers, such as larvae and larvae such as Tobigera. In addition, there is information about plants which survive in bushes such as trees and mushrooms such as oak trees and chestnuts, and information about insects and spiders such as a worm, a lobster, a yellow butterfly or a cicada that survive in this area (46). . In addition, there is information about a plant that survives in the pond 41, such as dry grass and a bud, and information about insects such as water generals, water seals, and burmese ash that survive in this area 47. In addition, there are information about plants that live in vacant land such as lotus flowers, dandelions, and rape flowers, and insects such as butterflies and ants that survive in the area 48.

Thus, in this data collection method, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, first, each collector M (natural entry position) of natural objects enters the input booth 30, and the input means 7 Enter the data (name, date of birth, course you wish). At this time, the desired course is the preferred one of the insect course and the plant course in this embodiment. In this case, the insect course is selected. As described with reference to Fig. 2, the various data are transmitted from the input means 7 (transceiver 12) to the portable collecting means 19 (transceiver 28), and stored in the data memory 21 (Fig. 2). Reference).

Thereafter, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6, the collector M uses his or her own knowledge and the portable collecting means 9 to search for the collecting point where each transmitting means 1 is installed. In other words, as shown by the dotted arrows (Fig. 1), the above-described areas (42, 43, 44, ...) are walked in turn, and the collecting points (possible places of insects) of each area are found. And if the transmission means 1 is installed in the place, the sound of an insect (for example, a cicada) is heard from the portable collection means 19 (voice device 23). And as the collector (M) approaches the gathering point (sending means 1), the cries of the insect grow louder and can measure where they live. At this time, as shown in Fig. 3A, the access information signal is transmitted from the transmitting device 4 of the transmitting means 1, and the access information signal is transmitted to the receiving device 27 of the portable collecting means 19. At the same time as receiving the control device 20 to determine the strength (or receiving distance) of the access information signal, the control device 20 to generate the sound of the insect cries with the volume according to the strength (or receiving distance) of the access information signal Is controlling the audio device 23. In addition, in the case of an insect that does not cry (for example, a pitcher bug), the picking sound (e.g., beep) is picked up by the portable collecting means 19, and the interval between the beeping sounds is shortened as the collection point is approached. (1)) is configured to be specified.

1, 3 (b) and 7, the transmitting device 2 of the transmitting means 1 is directed toward the mobile collecting means 19 toward the collecting point where the transmitting means 1 is provided. By receiving the identification signal from the portable collecting means 19 by the receiving device 26, the ecological data corresponding to the identification signal is imaged and / or sounded by the image display apparatus 22 of the portable collecting means 19. Voiced to 23. At this time, for example, when the crying of the insect is maximized, the identification signal is set to be received by the portable collecting means 19. Then, the ecological data is stored in the data memory 21 by pressing the collecting button 24 within a predetermined second immediately after the reception in the received state. That is, as shown in Fig. 8A, when the ecological data is successfully collected, the video or audio for successful collection is output to the portable collecting means 19. For example, the sound of images and ecological descriptions of the insects and the harvesting success are output. On the other hand, even when the identification signal is received by the portable collecting means 19, when the collection button 24 is not pressed within a predetermined second immediately after the reception, as shown in FIG. The image and the effect sound are output from the portable collecting means 19. For example, the insect flies away, or the sound of failure is output. Furthermore, since the reception range of the mobile collection means 19 is set to narrow angle, ecological data cannot be collected even if the collection button 24 is pressed when the identification signal does not enter this range.

In this way, the collector M adjusts the timing appropriately so as not to miss the insect and presses the collecting button 24, and instead collects the insect ecological data instead of actually collecting the insect. If the collection of the ecological data is successful, the ecological data is stored in the portable collecting means 19 instead of putting the insects in the insect cage. If the collection fails, the ecological data is not stored. Furthermore, once the collection of the ecological data fails, it is desirable to set the ecological data so as not to be stored in the same place or to store the same ecological data in duplicate.

Thus, in the first area (area 42 of dense and surviving plants), once one or more ecological data has been collected and lost (or resigned without collecting any data), the next area (plants that survive around the riverbeds) Area 43), and the ecological data is collected in the same manner as described above. In this way, each area is turned to collect the ecological data of insects at the collection point. The collected ecological data is stored and stored in the portable collecting means 19 and can be checked at any time by the image display device 22 by pressing the confirmation button 25.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 9, when the collector M has rotated in all areas, the collector M enters the output booth 31 to correspond to the identification signal stored in the portable collecting means 19. The data is sent to the output means 13. That is, ecological data corresponding to the identification signal is transmitted from the transceiver 28 of the portable collecting means 19 to the transceiver 18 of the output means 13. Then, the ecological data is printed out from the output device 15 of the output means 13 to the result sheet 32 (organized in a sample state). As shown in FIG. 10, the resulting paper 32 includes information such as color photographs, names, sizes, locations of survival and appearance of insects, names of collectors, collection dates, collection sites, and collection results, for example. A comment or the like can be printed to show how many insects (ecological data) the collector has collected, and at the same time, they can be brought back and stored as a specimen box instead.

By the way, the data collection method of the present invention may not only collect the ecological data of insects, but may also add gameability. That is, by receiving and storing the identification signal transmitted from the transmitting means 1 with the portable collecting means 19, the points may be added and the total points may be printed out after the data collection ends. In this case, for example, a predetermined score is set in advance for each ecological data stored in the data memory 21 of the portable collecting means 19. For example, familiar insects have a low score and rare insects have a high score. Further, the cumulative points may be displayed on the screen of the portable collecting means 19. In addition, a timer may be provided in the portable collecting means 19 so that the identification signal can be received only within the timer setting time. In this way, a plurality of collectors can compete for points and collect ecological data within a time limit.

Next, in the case of collecting the ecological data of the plant, the transmitting means 1 is installed in the vicinity of each plant in each region (42, 43, 44 ...), so that the collector gathers each region and sends the transmitting means (1). By receiving the identification means transmitted from the portable collecting means 19, ecological data (description of the plant image, name or ecology, etc.) corresponding to the identification signal is outputted from the portable collecting means 19 in video or audio. It is also remembered. The ecological data collected (memory and accumulated) by the portable collecting means 19 may be printed out by the output means 13 as a result sheet. In this way, the actual plants can be seen or enjoyed even if they are not flowering or dry.

However, the printing out of the ecological data of natural objects such as insects and plants after the collection has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The ecological data is stored in the storage medium (for example, CD-R or the like). CD-RW, etc.) so that the collector can watch on a personal computer at home. Alternatively, both the resultant paper and the storage medium may be selected or returned.

The data collection method of the present invention can also be applied to an aquarium, a zoo, a museum, or the like. That is, in the case of an aquarium or a zoo, a plurality of transmission means 1, ... which transmits a predetermined identification signal are provided at a viewing point (for example, in front of a water tank or a cage) such as an aquarium or a zoo. Then, the portable collecting means 19, which stores the animal data of the animals (including the limbs) existing at the viewing point, is carried to each viewer so that the viewer is directed toward the portable collecting means 19 to the transmitting means 1 and identified. By receiving the signal, the animal data corresponding to the signal is imaged and / or voiced by the portable collecting means 19, so as to further store. This allows you to know the sounds and characteristics of each animal. The animal data corresponding to the identification signal stored and stored in the portable collecting means 19 may be stored in the printout and / or storage medium by the output means 13.

Similarly, in the case of a museum, a plurality of transmission means 1, ... which transmit a predetermined identification signal are provided at a viewing point of the museum (e.g., in front of a glass case storing an exhibit). The portable collecting means 19, which stores the exhibit data of the exhibits present at the viewing point, is carried to each viewer so that the viewer receives the identification signal toward the portable collecting means 19 in the transmitting means 1, The exhibit data corresponding to the signal is imaged and / or voiced by the portable collecting means 19 to further store. For example, by collecting exhibit data at a dinosaur skeleton, you can see the dinosaur's appearance (CG image), its features, and howls. The display data corresponding to the identification signal stored in the portable collecting means 19 may be stored in the printout and / or storage medium by the output means 13.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, for example, in Figs. 2 and 4, the data is wirelessly transmitted from the input means 7 to the portable collecting means 19, and the output means from the portable collecting means 19. Although data has been described in such a manner as to transmit data wirelessly, in addition to this method, data may be transmitted by wire through a cable or data may be exchanged with a storage medium (for example, a card). In this case, the portable collecting means 19 and the transmitting and receiving devices 12 and 28 of the output means are data reading devices for reading data stored in the card.
