FLOWER POT INCUBATOR AND METHOD FOR MANAGING A FLOWER POT PLANTED IN FLOWER POT INCUBATOR}

The present invention relates to a potted plant incubator and a method for managing the potted plants planted in the potted plant incubator.

In general, flowers are produced in large quantities by producers and sold to users. At this time, the user often does not have specialized knowledge about the flower, and the flower sold to a user who is not used to the growth of the flower is often not dying for a long time. In addition, producers of flowers also manage a large number of different types of flowers, it is difficult to manage the growth of each flower individually.

In this plant management, the water of the plant carbonizes together with carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates for plants to grow, as well as the fertilizer dissolved in the soil is absorbed into the roots with water. By watering the plants, the harmful gaseous components in the pots are pushed out of the pots and fresh oxygen flows in to help the roots breathe. Therefore, how much water is used when the soil in the pots is dried is a very important issue in the growth of the plants. .

In addition, the degree of water drying varies according to the environment of each place of production, the difference of culture soil, and the type of plants. Therefore, it is better to check the humidity of each flower every day and give water. do.

In addition, houseplants grown indoors are native to the tropical region, the temperature suitable for growth is 18 to 25 degrees. The spring and autumn of Korea is a growing season, so the temperature is moderate, but at the high temperature of more than 30 degrees, the plants are also tired and spoiled, so be sure to ventilate frequently to lower the temperature and be careful not to touch the cold wind of the fan or air conditioner directly. In addition, it is desirable to keep the water at least 10 to 15 degrees in the winter to reduce irrigation and to be able to shoot enough light.

As such, professional management is required depending on the type of potted plants, but it is not easy for general users to have such specialized knowledge. Therefore, there is a need for the user to more easily manage the pot.

Hereinafter, each component will be described in more detail.

The sensor unit 110 measures state information including at least one of temperature, humidity, roughness, and soil moisture state of the pollen. To this end, the sensor unit 110 may include various sensors for measuring temperature, humidity, roughness, and soil moisture.

The management data generation unit 120 generates data for pollen management based on the state information of the pollen measured by the sensor unit 110. Here, the data for pollen management may include information on the current temperature of the pot, moisture state of the soil, humidity, illumination, and the like and information to be taken according to each state information. For example, depending on the moisture content of the soil, "pour half a cup of water on the pot" may be included in the data for pot management.

The light emitter 130 changes the illumination color of at least one of the upper body 112 and the lower body 114 based on the value measured by the sensor unit 110. The light emitter 130 may be implemented as, for example, a light emitting diode (LED).

The display unit 140 displays one or more of the status information of the potted plant measured by the sensor unit 110, data for plant management, and messages input by the orderer who ordered the potted plants received through the communication unit 150 to be described later. do.

The communication unit 150 performs data communication with an external device. For example, the communication unit 150 may transmit the status information of the potted plant, data for potted plant management, etc. to the user terminal 200 according to any one of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 3G communication method. In addition, the control command may be received from the user terminal 200 and transmitted to the following operation control unit 160.

The operation control unit 160 receives a control command input through an application installed in the user terminal 200 and controls the operation of each module configured in the corresponding body 111 according to the control command, or by the sensor unit 110. On the basis of the measured state information of the potted plant performs its own control for each module configured in the body (111). For example, the operation controller 160 may receive a control command for temperature control from the user terminal 200 to adjust the temperature of the potted plant incubator 100. In another embodiment, the temperature, humidity, etc. of the potted plant incubator 100 may be controlled according to its own operation control, and the control result data may be transmitted to the user terminal 200 through the communication unit 150.

The data storage unit 165 stores data necessary for plant pot management. For example, the data storage unit 165 stores the state information of the potted plant measured by the sensor unit 110 described above, network information, internal setting values, data output and the like necessary for performing communication with the user terminal 200. Information about an algorithm for controlling each module operation may be stored.

3 is a block diagram of a user terminal for communicating with a potted plant incubator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the user terminal 200 of the present invention which communicates with the pollen incubator 100 includes a recognition unit 210, an application manager 220, a data processor 230, and a transceiver 240. And an output unit 250.

Recognition unit 210 recognizes the identification code containing the installation information of the application for the potted plant management marked on the potted plant incubator 100 (or potted plants). For example, the identification code may be a recognizable code in the form of a barcode or a QR code.

The application manager 220 downloads and installs an application corresponding to the installation information of the application of the identification code recognized by the recognition unit 210 from the application server 300. Here, the application manager 220 may check the version information of the application on a periodic basis and may upgrade to a higher version.

The data processor 230 processes the command input through the application and transmits the command to the pot incubator 100. That is, the data processor 230 may process a command input by the user terminal 200 of a touch method or a button method and transmit the command to the incubator 100. Specifically, for example, the user may input a command for controlling the temperature, humidity, etc. of the potted plant incubator 100 through the corresponding application.

The transceiver 240 performs data communication with an external device. For example, the transceiver 240 receives an application for plant management from the application providing server 300 to transmit to the application management unit 220 or receive a control command input through the application from the data processing unit 230 plant pot incubator ( 100). In addition, the transceiver 240 may process the message input by the orderer who ordered the potted plant received from the message providing server 400 through the data processing unit 230 and then transmit the potted plant incubator 100.

The output unit 250 outputs various data on the screen of the user terminal 200. For example, the output unit 250 may output the state information of the potted plant received from the potted plant incubator 100, and data for managing the potted plant on the screen of the user terminal 200.

Figure 4 illustrates a pot incubator in which the lighting color is changed according to the state of the pot according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 4, the above-described light emitter 130 includes an upper body 112 and a lower body 114 based on the state information values measured by the sensor unit 110. One or more of the lighting colors can be changed. For example, when the soil moisture state of the pot is lower than the reference value, the user may be notified by changing the lighting color of one or more of the upper body 112 and the lower body 114.

At this time, by dividing the grades according to the status of the potted plant, the lighting color can be changed according to each grade, so that the user can observe the potted state in detail and take action accordingly. In other words, as the number of days without supplying water to the pot increases the risk level, the lighting color can be changed differently, thereby informing the user of the pot status more intuitively.
