Accordingly, the presence or absence of each component described in this specification should be interpreted as a function.

1 is a flowchart of a method for managing a greenhouse using a smart terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosed technology. Referring to FIG. 1, a greenhouse management method using a smart terminal includes a first step (110) of receiving a greenhouse management server environment information from a plurality of greenhouse management sensors, a first step (110) of storing the environment information in a database A second step (120), a third step (130) of sequentially storing a plurality of environment information in the database by repeating the first and second steps according to a preset period and a number of times in the greenhouse management server, (140) for receiving the plurality of environmental information from the plurality of environment information and analyzing the plurality of environmental information to determine a greenhouse state, and a fourth step (140) for determining the state of the greenhouse by the smart terminal And a fifth step (150) of controlling.

In step 110, the greenhouse management server receives environment information from a plurality of greenhouse management sensors. The greenhouse management sensors are sensors that are placed in the greenhouse to sense environmental changes in the greenhouse. For example, greenhouse management sensors sense at least one of illumination, temperature, and humidity. The greenhouse management server can arrange an illuminance sensor, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor to detect a change in the environment of the greenhouse, and detect environmental changes of the greenhouse using the sensors.

On the other hand, the greenhouse here refers to a space in which an environment suitable for the growth of the crop is artificially constructed in order to grow a specific kind of crop. For example, it may be a space that is easy to cultivate fruit trees, special crops, vegetables, or herbs such as a plastic house or a greenhouse.

Of course, it may be better to grow in a natural environment, but in a natural environment, crops are often adversely affected by unforeseen factors such as various insect pests, weather problems or natural disasters. Therefore, in order to avoid the factors that adversely affect the cultivation of such crops, artificial environments such as vinyl houses and plant factories are increasingly used.

In addition, for farmers or forestry workers who grow crops, the quality and yield of the cultivated crops eventually lead to income. Therefore, farmers who grow crops in a greenhouse environment where stable income is guaranteed It is gradually spreading.

However, this kind of greenhouse environment was also inconvenient for managers to stay in the field of crop cultivation at all times and to observe the state. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the disclosed technology tries to solve the problem through the following steps.

In step 110, the greenhouse management server receives environment information from the plurality of greenhouse management sensors. Environmental information includes information on environmental changes in the greenhouse. For example, the environmental information may be a variation in illuminance, temperature, or humidity. The greenhouse management server receives this environmental information from a plurality of greenhouse management sensors.

The greenhouse management server includes a communication module for receiving the environment information. And receives environmental information from the greenhouse management sensors using the communication module.

In this regard, the greenhouse management server forms a sensor network with the plurality of greenhouse management sensors. That is, each sensor forms a network with the sensors using the nodes, and receives environment information through the network.

In step 120, the greenhouse management server stores environment information in a database. The greenhouse management server includes a database for storing the environment information, and stores the environment information received in step 110 in the database.

In step 130, the environment information is sequentially stored by repeating steps 110 and 120 according to the period and the number of times set in the greenhouse management server. Storing them sequentially means storing environment information according to the order of reception. That is, each environmental information is stored in order to check the change of state of the greenhouse during a certain period.

On the other hand, as described above, the greenhouse management server sets in advance the number of times of storing the environment information and the period for receiving environmental information. For example, the greenhouse management server may sequentially store 10 environmental information items once per hour.

In step 140, the smart terminal receives the plurality of environment information. The environment information is analyzed to determine the state of the greenhouse. The greenhouse management server includes a communication module as mentioned above. And has a predetermined IP and port. Therefore, when the smart terminal accesses the IP and port, it is possible to wirelessly communicate with the greenhouse management server. For example, 3G or 4G.

In the disclosed technique, the manager of the greenhouse is actually somewhat distant from the greenhouse, but uses a smart terminal to achieve the same effect as always staying in the greenhouse. The smart terminal is capable of receiving the plurality of environment information, for example, a smart phone, a notebook computer, or a PC. Environment information of the greenhouse transmitted from the greenhouse management server through the smart terminal of the above kind is received.

Meanwhile, the smart terminal determines the state of the greenhouse based on the received environment information. For example, it is judged whether the temperature of the greenhouse is low or whether the illuminance or humidity is appropriate.

It may be somewhat different depending on the type of crops to be cultivated, but in many cases, the environment of a greenhouse usually maintains a similar level of environment at all times. However, there are many external factors, such as windy conditions and low temperatures, which often affect the internal environment of the greenhouse. The disclosed technology analyzes the environmental information received from the greenhouse management sensors as in step 140 to determine the state inside the greenhouse.

In step 150, the LED or the fan provided in the greenhouse is controlled using the smart terminal according to the state of the greenhouse determined in step 140. [ In an embodiment, when the humidity inside the greenhouse rises above a predetermined value, the ventilator may be opened to allow the moisture to be discharged to the outside. Alternatively, when the illuminance of the greenhouse is low due to a lot of clouds, the LED may be controlled to increase the illuminance. The manager can manage the greenhouse environment by controlling the LED or the fan according to his / her experience using the smart terminal. Therefore, even if the manager does not reside in the greenhouse, it resides in the greenhouse and can provide the same effect as managing the greenhouse.

2 is a block diagram of a greenhouse management system using a smart terminal according to one embodiment of the disclosed technology. Referring to FIG. 2, the greenhouse management system using the smart terminal includes a plurality of greenhouse management sensors 210a for sensing environmental information of a greenhouse, environment information from the greenhouse management sensors according to a predetermined period and a predetermined number of times, A greenhouse management server 210 including a database 210b for storing the environment information and a communication module 210c for transmitting the environment information, and a control module 210 for receiving and analyzing the environment information from the greenhouse management server, And a smart terminal 220 for wirelessly controlling the provided LED or ventilator.

The greenhouse management server 210 includes a plurality of greenhouse management sensors 210a, a database 210b, and a communication module 210c.

The greenhouse management sensors 210a sense environmental information of the greenhouse. The greenhouse management sensors are sensors that are placed in the greenhouse to sense environmental changes in the greenhouse. For example, greenhouse management sensors may sense at least one of illumination, temperature, and humidity.

Herein, the term "greenhouse" refers to a space in which an environment suitable for the growth of the crop is artificially constructed in order to grow a specific kind of crop. For example, a green house is cultivated with fruit trees, special crops, vegetables or herbs It may be a space that is easy to do. In other words, it is a space created to be isolated from factors that can adversely affect the growth of crops that can occur in a natural environment. These greenhouses are becoming increasingly widespread in terms of ensuring stable returns for producers of crops, and are used to produce qualitative and quantitative crops that are superior to those grown in natural environments.

Meanwhile, the greenhouse management sensors 210a not only sense the environmental information of the greenhouse, but also each sensor acts as a node of the network. And forms a sensor network with the greenhouse management server 210. The greenhouse management server 210 receives environment information from the greenhouse management sensors 210a through the network.

The database 210b stores environmental information transmitted from the greenhouse management sensors 210a. The greenhouse management server 210 includes a database 210b for storing environmental information. The received environment information is stored in the database 210b.

Meanwhile, the greenhouse management server 210 sets the period and the number of times of storing environment information in advance, and sequentially stores a plurality of environment information in the database 210b. For example, the greenhouse management server can sequentially store 20 environmental information items every three hours.

The communication module 210c transmits the environment information stored in the database 210b to the smart terminal 220. [ The greenhouse management server 210 has a predetermined IP and port. The communication module 210c transmits environment information to the smart terminal 220 connected through the IP and port.

The smart terminal 220 receives a plurality of environment information through the communication module 210c. The smart terminal 220 may be, for example, a smart phone, a notebook computer, or a PC. With this smart terminal 220, it is possible to connect to the IP and port of the greenhouse management server 210. Therefore, they can be connected to each other wirelessly to receive environmental information.

Meanwhile, the smart terminal 220 determines the state of the greenhouse based on the received environment information. For example, it is judged whether the temperature of the greenhouse is low or whether the illuminance or humidity is appropriate. In this case, the smart terminal 220 may set a reference value for illuminance, temperature, and humidity of the greenhouse in advance, and compare deviations of illuminance, temperature, and humidity included in the reference value with environmental information.

The smart terminal 220 wirelessly controls the LED or the ventilator provided in the greenhouse, as described above. Since the smart terminal 220 is already wirelessly connected through the IP and port of the greenhouse management server 210, it is possible to transmit a control signal for controlling the LED or the ventilator.

In one embodiment, if the temperature inside the greenhouse rises above a predetermined value, the fan may be opened to lower the temperature. If the greenhouse is not illuminated at night, the LED may be controlled to maintain the internal environment as if the sun is floating. The manager can manage the greenhouse environment by controlling the LED or the fan according to his / her experience using the smart terminal 220. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the optimum environment necessary for the growth of the crop even in a state where it is not resident in the greenhouse.

Although the method and system for managing a greenhouse using a smart terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosed technology have been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings for the sake of understanding, those skilled in the art will understand that those skilled in the art It will be understood that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible.
