Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

One. Connected  Palm autonomous control system

The 'connected farm autonomous control system' (hereafter abbreviated as 'system') to which the present invention is applicable is a self-controlled farm system in which, in order to provide an optimum growth environment for cultivated crops and cultivars in a connected farm, .

For this purpose, the system performs autonomous control based on cultivation knowledge. The cultivation knowledge can be automatically collected according to the type / kind of crop and the environment of the farm, and the user can directly input the knowledge.

Cultivation knowledge is the basic information needed to control the agricultural ICT devices in the connected farm without user intervention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of a system. FIG. As shown, the system is configured with an integration server 110, connected farm service servers 120, and connected farms 130.

The connected farm 130 is a concept that includes physical facility cultivation farms and farm devices installed / provided thereto. Farm devices include sensors for sensing the farm environment, farm machinery and agricultural equipment for growing crops.

The connected farm service server 120 is a server operated by a service provider for managing the connected farms 130. A plurality of connected farms 130 are managed by one connected farm service server 120.

The integration server 110 is a server for managing the connected farm service servers 120. A plurality of connected farm service servers 120 are managed by one unified server 110.

2. Connected  Palm autonomy control method

FIG. 2 is a diagram provided for explanation of the autonomous control process by the system shown in FIG.

The connected farm 130 is constructed by the service provider requesting the IoF (Internet of Farm) service of the user by installing various farm devices in the facility cultivation environment and connecting them on the IoT basis (2).

Then, the service provider registers the farm device information and the farm profile information in its own connected farm service server 120 (3). Then, the connected farm service server 120 registers the farm device information and the farm profile information in the integration server 110 (4).

Farm profile information consists of ontologies such as crop bender, crop type, crop variety, plant date.

The farm device information includes information necessary for controlling the farm device, specifically, functions (water supply, fertilizer application, etc.) for adjusting the growth environment of the connected farm 130 and farm devices The control information (control parameter) for the ontology is constituted by the ontology.

Meanwhile, the farm devices installed by the service provider periodically transmit the farm environment data to the integration server 110 (5).

The integration server 110 collects the cultivation knowledge based on the cultivated environment acquired through the type / breed of cultivated crop obtained through the farm profile information received in the step (4) and the data received in the step (5) ).

There is no restriction on the source of cultivation knowledge. Cultivation knowledge can be acquired from server / DB constructed by acquisition, portal, country, research institute, etc. via the Internet, obtained from information input directly by the user of the farm, and acquired from other sources.

Then, the integration server 110 generates a control-rule for providing an optimal growth environment for the cultivated crop based on the collected cultivation knowledge, and transmits the control-rule to the connected farm service server 120 (8).

Accordingly, the connected farm service server 120 requests the integration server 110 to control the farm device and monitor by the farm server 130 based on the control-rule (9).

Then, the integration server 110 instructs farm device control and monitoring at the request of the connected farm service server 120 (10).

On the other hand, the integration server 110 transmits the growing information about the cultivated crop to the cultivation knowledge source (11). Growth information includes information on cultivated crops, cultivation methods, and cultivation results. So that other users can utilize it as cultivation knowledge.

3. Information ontology

Semantic technology is used for autonomous control to provide optimal environment for each crop / variety. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, an ontology for managing information on the connected farm 130 is configured to semantically configure the configuration information of the connected farm 130 to understand the farm profile information, And control for the optimized growth environment of the connected farm 130 is performed.

Semantic information for autonomous control exists in two forms, farm profile information and device information.

3.1 Farm profile information ontology

3 is a diagram showing a farm profile information ontology. As shown in FIG. 3, the farm profile information ontology is expressed by concept ontology, ontology by construction type, and actual data.

The concept ontology represents a concept for representing the connected farm 130, and is a top-level ontology for accommodating various connected farms 130. The ontology for each constituent type represents the information on the crops managed by each connected farm 130 and the kinds of crops based on the actual concept ontology. Finally, the actual data is data representing the actual information managed in each connected farm 130.

In the embodiment of the present invention using the upper farm profile information ontology, it is possible to collect information on the kinds and kinds of crops in each connected farm, and obtain the semantic information of the corresponding data based on the ontology.

3.2 device  Information ontology

4 is a diagram showing a device information ontology. The device information ontology is configured in the same format as the farm profile information ontology. The device information in the actual connected farm 130 is configured using the ontology for each configuration type by expressing the information about each device with the ontology for each constituent type .

Therefore, in the autonomic control method presented in the embodiment of the present invention, the cultivation information of the connected farm 130 and the available device information can be confirmed through the farm information ontology and the device information ontology.

Therefore, by using the two topologies of ontology, knowledge of optimal growth environment information for each crop is collected from the outside or input from the user, and optimization is performed based on the information about the device information and the variety formed in each facility cultivation environment And generates a control rule for providing a growing environment.

4. Cultivation recommendations

The integration server 110 accumulates environment data collected from the connected farm 130 and recommends crops determined to be suitable for cultivation based on the accumulated environmental data.

Furthermore, the integration server 110 can recommend nationwide crop seed sales volume information or crops determined to be suitable for cultivation based on statistical report data. Specifically, it is possible to recommend crops with low seed sales volume by predicting high scarcity.

It is also possible that the integration server 110 analyzes the statistical data related to the crop demand to recommend growing the crop in a trend of increasing demand.

Further, it is possible that the integration server 110 collects / analyzes the results of research on the efficacy of crops, news articles, etc., and recommends cultivation of crops that are proven to be effective for health.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
