At this time, the anomalous symptom occurrence signal may include the occurrence position of the anomalous symptom, and the anomalous symptom occurrence position may be the position information corresponding to the taken image where the anomalous symptom is determined. The generated abnormality symptom signal is transmitted to the server alarm unit 330 and may be transmitted to the server input / output unit 320 to notify the abnormality occurrence location to the administrator.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a smart cultivation farm system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the server 300 receives the primary path information from the manager, generates the primary path, and transmits the generated primary path to the unmanned air vehicle 100. In operation 410,

The unmanned aerial vehicle 100 performs the reconnaissance and surveillance while moving to the primary route that has been received. (415) At this time, performing the reconnaissance and surveillance includes generating the photographed image and the location information, To the server (300).

When the fence 200 detects intrusion of an object through the sensor 420, it generates intrusion information and transmits the intrusion information to the server 300. (425)

The server 300 generates a secondary path based on the received intrusion information and transmits the generated secondary path to the unmanned air vehicle 100. (430) At the same time, the barrier 200 operates the defensive device. (440) At this time, the defensive device may be applying current to the wire of the barrier.

The UAV 100 moves along the secondary path received from the server 300 and activates the speaker 435. [

9 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the manager inputs the forced movement signal to the server (510)

The server 300 transmits the input forced movement signal to the unmanned air vehicle 100. In operation 515, the unmanned air vehicle 100 performs movement and reconnaissance according to the forced movement signal 520. At this time, One can be to create a shot video. On the other hand, the primary path and the secondary path input to the UAV 100 are ignored as the forced movement signal is input.

The unmanned aerial vehicle 100 transmits the generated photographed image to the server 300. (525)

The server 300 outputs the received photographed image to the administrator. (530)

FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining an abnormal symptom according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the server 300 receives the photographed image and the location information from the unmanned air vehicle 100. (610)

The server 300 analyzes the photographed image and determines an abnormal symptom according to the analysis result. (615) At this time, the analysis of the photographed image is performed by analyzing the color of the leaf of the plant which has discolored white or brown in the photographed image The determination of an abnormal symptom according to the result of the analysis may be made by judging that the extent of the extracted color is greater than a predetermined width, and that the damage is caused by the pest and disease.

The server 300 generates an anomalous symptom signal according to a result of the anomalous symptom determination. (620) At this time, the anomalous symptom occurrence signal is generated according to the anomalous symptom determination result, ≪ / RTI >

The server 300 may operate a speaker and an alarm according to a signal indicating the occurrence of an abnormal symptom, and may output an abnormal symptom occurrence location to the administrator. (625)
