Recently, agricultural service technologies have been developed into U-agricultural technology that is blended with the latest IT technologies. This technique has been suggested as a method for cultivating the crops in the existing facility cultivation environment to create the optimal growth environment for any crop.
Generally, the crop growth environment control services in the greenhouse can set the control device on the basis of time, and it is often manually controlled by the manager's empirical judgment. Time-based control services can not take into account variables such as weather deterioration in an environmentally-affected greenhouse environment. If the administrator is experienced in the crops currently being cultivated, he may set a control point (Set-point) of the control devices based on the manager's experiential knowledge. However, this is possible for farmers who have experienced cultivation of specific crops, and there are many difficulties for ordinary farmers. In addition, farmers who have experience with specific crops can not easily set control points for optimal growth conditions for crops that have not yet been cultivated.
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed in which the cultivation environment is automatically controlled in conjunction with optimal growth information.
An apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes a crop database in which optimum growth information on a crop is stored, an environment monitoring unit for monitoring environmental information of the environment related to the crop, an environment control unit for controlling the cultivation environment of the crop in accordance with the set control points, And a control unit for receiving optimum growth information from an external server and storing the optimal growth information in a crop database or generating optimal growth information and transmitting the generated optimum growth information to a server and setting a control point by comparing optimal growth information and environment information.
According to another aspect, the environmental monitoring unit can sense or measure at least one of temperature, humidity, illuminance, CO 2 concentration, daylight time, and soil acidity in real time.
According to another aspect, the environmental monitoring unit can display environment information to the user in real time.
According to another aspect, the environmental control unit may include at least one of a heater, a fan, an illumination lamp, a pump, and a CO 2 generator for adjusting the cultivation environment.
According to another aspect, the control unit can set the control point such that the optimum growth information and the environment information coincide with each other.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system including a server for storing optimum growth information related to a crop and a client communicably connected to the server, wherein the client monitors environmental information related to the crop, It is possible to adjust the cultivation environment of the crop according to the set control points, to receive and store optimal growth information from the server, to generate optimum growth information, to transmit the optimum growth information to the server, and to set the control point by comparing the optimum growth information and environment information.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for receiving optimal growth information related to a crop from an external server, monitoring environmental information related to a crop, comparing optimal growth information with environment information, Setting a predetermined control point, and adjusting the cultivation environment of the crop according to the set control points.
According to an aspect of the present invention, optimal growth information of a server or a client may be configured as an ontology for intelligent services based on context awareness.
In recent years, there has been a shortage of agricultural manpower due to the aging and declining agriculture population, and difficulty and avoidance of agriculture due to abnormal weather such as shortage of sunshine, abnormal temperature, and abnormal low temperature. As an alternative to this, it is necessary to cultivate a facility such as a greenhouse or a plant factory. Anyone who does not have knowledge or experience of agriculture can cultivate any crop through the system proposed in the present invention. In addition, the new paradigm and vision of agriculture can be presented through this, and since the present invention enables planned cultivation of necessary crops, it is expected to result in the stabilization of the price by controlling the production amount and the quality improvement through cultivation of the plant.

1 illustrates a crop growth environment management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
1, a crop growth
The server 101 stores optimal growth information on the crop.
Crops can be plants that can grow plants in greenhouses or factories.
Optimal growth information can be the best environmental condition for any crop growth. For example, the optimum growth information may include identification information (crop ID) of the crop, growth factors of the crop, and growth environment data corresponding to the growth factors. The growth factors can be environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO 2 concentration, sunshine hour, and soil acidity required for the growth of the crop, and the growth environment data can be a specific value for each growth factor.
According to one embodiment, optimal growth information can be defined as a plant plant ontology model for context aware intelligent services. Here, the plant plant ontology is a data model that defines all the necessary elements (crop information, sensor information, greenhouse information, control device information, etc.) necessary for environmental control of crop growth. An example of constructing a concrete ontology in a plant factory environment for a high level context aware service will be described later.
The optimum growth information of the server 101 can be continuously generated and modified by an experienced researcher or an operator. For example, the operator of the server 101 may directly generate optimum growth information, and the optimum growth information generated by the

2, the crop growth
The crop database 201 stores optimum growth information related to crops. Optimal growth information can be the best environmental condition for any crop growth. For example, referring to FIG. 3, the optimum growth information may include identification information of a crop, a growth factor corresponding to a crop, and growth environment data corresponding to a growth factor. In the case of the crop 'A', the growth factor can be 'temperature, humidity, roughness', and the growth environment data can be '10 ° C., 80%, 100 lux'. In other words, crop 'A' can grow best at 10 ° C, 80% humidity and 100 lux illumination conditions. This optimal growth information can be received from an external server (Fig. 1, 101). It is a matter of course that the optimum growth information described here is only an example for the sake of understanding, and various growth factors may be used in addition to the above.
Referring again to FIG. 2, the

The
FIG. 3 shows optimal growth information according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The functions of the crop growth
It is assumed that the crop growth
Meanwhile, the optimal growth information shown in FIG. 3 exemplifies a simple data model for convenience of explanation, and it is needless to say that the optimal growth information may be defined by various data models. For example, the optimal growth information can be constructed as an ontology in which all context information related to crop cultivation is considered. An example of constructing a 'plant plant ontology' according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 4 to FIG.
Referring to FIG. 4, the situation classification for constructing an ontology can be roughly divided into 'situations related to the growth of crops' and 'situations related to the plant factory environment'.
Conditions related to the growth of crops can be classified into 'crop information', 'growth environment', 'growth status', and 'pest information'. There Varieties classification is defined, "growth environment" is to define the growth necessary elements (temperature, humidity, illuminance, C0 2 concentration, nutrients, sunlight, sunshine time and the like), crops for all of the crops, the crop information, do. 'Growth status' is defined to be able to confirm current growth status through growth of leaf, stem and root of crop, and 'pest information' can define information on various pests related to crop cultivation.
Situations related to the plant plant environment define all the circumstances within the plant plant to grow crops. 'Facility' defines information related to the plant building and various sensors and controls installed in the plant. 'Environment' defines climatic environmental information both inside and outside the plant. The 'location' defines the location information of the plant, floor, and area separately to allocate the location information of the facilities in the plant. 'System' defines the system information, network information, and access method of the devices used inside the plant. 'User' classifies the access authority according to the distinction between the internal manager and the outsider.
Based on these classified situations, it is possible to design a class for ontology construction such as 'VericalFarm', 'VerticalFarm Environment', and 'CropGrowth Knowledge' . Each class can also have a hierarchical subclass. For example, the 'crop growth knowledge' class may have subclasses such as a crop class, a pest class, a crop growth class, and a growth environment class, and the crop class may have subclasses defined by the kind, Structure can be formed.
When a class is designed, an instance is created. In this embodiment, since it is aimed to provide an intelligent service for providing a growing environment of a crop in a plant plant, as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to create an object based on a crop, a growth environment, and a control facility in accordance with the growth of the crop.
Next, the property is designed. For example, an object property (refer to FIG. 6) associating an object with another object and a data type property (see FIG. 7) representing a data characteristic that the objects actually have can be defined .
For reference, in FIG. 6, 'hasA' is a definition of a plant plant and a plant or a facility that basically has to have through the plant plant ontology, and 'cultivates' defines a relationship in which a plant is grown in a plant. 'isLacatedIn' is the location information of each entity, 'isManagedBy' is the relationship with the administrator managing the plant factory, 'isMadeBy' is the environment information obtained from various sensors, 'controls' is the control relationship between control nodes and control devices .
By constructing the ontology like this, it is possible to transfer meaning between all the elements in the plant, so that various intelligent services can be provided even if there is not much experience or knowledge.
FIG. 8 illustrates a method for managing a crop growth environment according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 8, the crop growth
Subsequently, the crop growth
Then, a predetermined control point is set by comparing the optimal growth information and environmental information (S503). For example, the
When the control point is set, the cultivation environment of the crop is adjusted according to the set control point (S504). For example, it is possible to continuously provide the optimal growth environment according to the optimum growth information of the crop database 201 and the control points set by the
As described above, according to the disclosed embodiment of the present invention, since the environmental conditions in the greenhouse are coordinated with the optimum growth information, it is possible to conduct planned cultivation for the crops, and to improve the quality of the plant cultivation by controlling the production amount . In particular, since optimal growth information is provided in the form of an ontology, it is possible to construct an intelligent service based on situational awareness and an agricultural knowledge cloud. Through this, ordinary users without knowledge and experience of agriculture can easily approach agriculture. Can be presented.
