Description

Artificial intelligence-based smart indoor garden management method and device therefor

The present invention relates to an indoor garden management technology, and more particularly, to an artificial intelligence-based smart indoor garden management method capable of efficiently managing an indoor garden based on big data and artificial intelligence, and an apparatus therefor.

Recently, as well-being and LOHAS (Lifestyle Of Health And Sustainability) type of cultural life progress rapidly, the consumption of flower crops is also rapidly increasing.

In addition, as outdoor activities are limited due to the recent spread of Corona, telecommuting and online classes are being activated, and as life in the residential space increases, interest in indoor interiors and health is further increasing.

Growing flowers in an indoor space can improve indoor air quality by purifying the indoor air as well as having an aesthetic effect.

However, conventional indoor floriculture requires not only professional knowledge about floriculture but also actual cultivation experience, so it takes a lot of time and effort for the general public to cultivate an indoor garden.

For the healthy growth of flower crops, not only adequate water supply but also various factors such as nutrition supply, sunlight time, temperature, humidity, pest control, and ventilation must be efficiently considered.

Recently, automated smart farms have been introduced for flower crop management and crop management. However, since the smart farm is designed to be suitable for a large farm equipped with a large-scale greenhouse, there is a problem in that it is difficult to apply the utilization to a general residential space.

Therefore, there is a need for an optimized smart indoor garden management method that allows the general public to effectively manage the indoor garden at home.
