図1は、一実施の形態にかかる栽培システム100の基本概略の構成を説明するための模式図であり、図2は、図1の栽培システム100の全体概略を説明するための模式図である。
栽培システム100においてはクラウド500を介して情報が送受信されるため、アクセス変動の多い場合であっても容易に対応することができる。
なお、簡易表示形式としては、解析結果を単純化して示したアイコン、テキスト、数値、およびグラフ等により示された形式が挙げられる。
図3は、栽培装置300の一例を示す模式図である。
図3に示すように、栽培装置300は、照明装置310、枠体320、撮像装置330、栽培容器340、環境制御装置350,360を含む。
栽培装置300の枠体320は、栽培空間として密閉空間または開放空間を構成する構造を有し、栽培空間を上下段に配し、それぞれの栽培空間に栽培容器340をそれぞれ1個配設する。それぞれの栽培空間は、太陽光が遮断されていることが好ましい。
上述の他、環境制御装置350としては、気流制御が可能な送風ファンも挙げられる。
上述の他、環境制御装置360としては、水流制御が可能な水流発生装置も挙げられる。
さらに、それぞれの栽培空間には、重量計が設けられてもよい。また、それぞれの栽培空間には、自動収穫機が設けられてもよい。
基板3110の材料には、例えば、セラミックス、合成樹脂および金属から当業者によって適宜選択されるものが含まれてよい。より具体的には、ガラスエポキシ基板及びガラスコンポジット基板などの複合材料が用いられてよい。また、遮熱塗料の塗布等による表面加工処理、絶縁層等による積層処理がなされたものであってよい。
独立して制御可能であるような設計は、独立制御すべきLEDの種類および/または数に応じた数の制御系を、それぞれの制御系が並列して機能するように備えることによってなされる。
また、一の照明装置310には、デイジーチェーン接続による直列回路がただ1つ存在してもよいし、個別に制御可能な直列回路が複数存在してもよい。
また、携帯通信端末200は、一の照明装置310が複数の直列回路を有する場合、それぞれの直列回路を独立して制御することもできる。
上述のような制御は、携帯通信端末200によるクラウド500を介した遠隔操作によって行われる。
図6は、照明ユニット3100の他の例である照明ユニット3100aの模式的正面図である。照明ユニット3100aは、正六角形の基板3110の代わりに正方形の基板3110aを用いるものである。基板3110aの一方の面には、赤色LED3121、青色LED3122、白色LED3124の3種類の単色LEDが固定される。このうち、赤色LED3121および青色LED3122は、1枚の基板3110aにつきそれぞれ2個ずつ、合計4個固定される。4個のLEDそれぞれは、異種のものが隣り合うように、正方形の各頂点付近に互いに等間隔で配置される。白色LED3124は1枚の基板3110aにつき1個、正方形の中央に配置されて固定される。
また、基板3110bの外周には、他の基板3110bとの電気的および機械的接続を可能にする端子3130bと、他の基板3110bとの機械的接続を可能にする雄型結合部3111bおよび雌型結合部3112bが形成される。
また、基板3110cの外周には、他の基板3110cとの機械的接続を可能にする雄型結合部3111cおよび雌型結合部3112cが形成される。
これによって、少ない照明ユニット数で広い範囲を照射することができる。また、類似の態様として、より少ない数の照明ユニット3100を用いてリング状(または内側が照明ユニット3100によって敷き詰められた円状)の照明装置を構成した場合、小型の植物栽培装置で栽培される植物に対してまんべんなく照射することができる。
上述の照明装置の例において、基板3110,3110a,3110eの形状として正方形、正五角形、正六角形を挙げたが、他の多角形、好ましくは正多角形であってもよい。また、多角形としては、互いに結合することにより拡張可能な形状であればどのような形状で合ってもよく、凸多角形及び凹多角形も問わない。
さらに、上述の例において、基板3110bの形状として変形矩形状を、基板3110cの形状として変形正六角形を挙げたが、他の変形多角形であってもよい。変形多角形には、多角形の頂点同士を直線の代わりに曲線で結んで構成される形状、および多角形の一部に各切部が形成された多角形が含まれる。
これによって、例えば図4、図6、図7、図8に示すように1個の照明ユニット内で複数の主波長を有する光を発生させることができる。
1個の基板の表面積も特に限定されないが、例えば、150cm2以下である。当該範囲に含まれる上限値は、130cm2、100cm2、50cm2、30cm2、15cm2、10cm2または5cm2であってもよい。当該範囲に含まれる下限値は特に限定されないが、例えば、1cm2、5cm2、10cm2、15cm2、30cm2、50cm2、100cm2または130cm2であってもよい。基板の表面積が小さい照明ユニットほど、照明装置を構成する際の自由度が大きくなる点で好ましい。たとえば、図10に例示するリング状など特定の平面形状の外周および/または内周を、滑らかな曲線により近くなるように構成することができる。また、図11に例示する特定の立体形状の外表面及び図12に例示する特定の立体形状の内表面を、滑らかな曲面により近くなるように構成することができる。さらに、複雑な凹凸外周および/または凹凸内周を有する平面形状、または複雑な凹凸表面を有する立体形状を構成することがより容易になる。
ここで、光源間の最短中心間距離とは、一の光源と、当該一の光源と隣り合う他の光源のうち当該一の光源の最も近くに存在する光源との、それぞれの中心を結ぶ距離である。照明装置においては、当該一の光源と当該隣り合う他の光源とは、両方とも同一照明ユニット内に存在する場合と、それぞれ隣接する異なる照明ユニット内に存在する場合とがある。また、光源の最大径とは、基板面と並行な方向における最大径である。
たとえば、照明装置全体において、最短中心間距離の最小値に対する最短中心間距離の最大値の比(最短中心間距離の最大値/最短中心間距離の最小値)が、1以上1.5以下、好ましくは1以上1.3以下、より好ましくは1以上1.2以下である。
これによって、複数の異なる主波長の光の均一化を図ることができる。光の均一化によって、同じ条件で植物生育を制御した場合の生育再現性を良くすることができる。
続いて、栽培システムの動作概略について説明を行なう。まず、図13は、栽培システム100における制御の一例を示すフローチャートである。また、図14は、携帯通信端末200の表示画面210の一例を示す模式図であり、図15は、携帯通信端末200の表示画面210の他の例を示す模式図であり、図16は、携帯通信端末200の表示画面210の他の例を示す模式図である。
まず、栽培装置300からクラウド500を介して、植物の現状についての生育情報を携帯通信端末200へ送信する(ステップS1)。栽培装置300からクラウド500へ送信された生育情報およびクラウド500から携帯通信端末200へ送信された生育情報は、記録装置400に記録される。
例えば、図14に示すように、携帯通信端末200の表示画面210には、観察画面が表示される。図14の表示画面210には、上段の植物の画像241、現在の環境制御装置350,360の計測結果242が表示される。
なお、栽培システム100において、ユーザは、育成制御情報を決定するために、完全マニュアルモード、完全オートモード、およびハイブリッドモードを選択することができる。
白色LED3124の連動点灯は、画像データを撮像する場合に、植物の色を明確に撮像することができる点で好ましい。
栽培装置300は、図16の表示画面210で指示された育成制御情報に従い撮像装置330を制御する。
なお、画像データは所定の間隔で撮像することにより得られるものに限られず、連続的に撮影された動画データであってもよい。
記録装置400に記録された育成制御情報は、クラウド500による解析において、データマイニングが行われる。図17は、記録装置400の育成制御情報に関するデータマイニングの一例を示すフローチャートである。
収集された育成制御情報は、その実績に従い、植物の種別、植物の生育段階、植物の最終形態の項目で区分される(ステップS12)。
植物の種別の区分の例としては、大区分で野菜、果物、草、木、および花等、小区分でキャベツ、レタス、およびサニーレタス等が挙げられる。植物の生育段階の区分の例としては、種蒔期、苗期、成長期、収穫期等が挙げられる。植物の最終形態の区分の例としては、収穫物の大きさ、形状、色、成分(糖分、酸などの栄養素)が挙げられる。成分による区分に加えて、またはそれに代えて、嗜好(甘味、酸味、苦味、辛味、渋味などの味覚、および嗅覚など)で区分されてもよい。
データマイニングの結果は、育成制御情報の解析結果としてクラウド500を介し記録装置400に記録される(ステップS14)。
図18は、栽培システム100において近距離無線通信装置を用いる一例を説明するフローチャートである。
この場合、NFCタグには、陳列されている棚、または袋内に収容された種苗に関する育成制御情報が記録されている。
次いで、アプリ700を起動し、当該育成制御情報を選択する(ステップS23)。
最後に、当該育成制御情報を、購入した種苗を植えた栽培装置300へ送信(ステップS24)し、生育を行うことができる。この場合、ユーザは、購入した育成制御情報の全てを完全オートモードで再生してもよいし、育成制御情報の一部をハイブリッドモードで改変してもよい。
さらに上述の他、携帯通信端末200にNFCの通信装置が取り付けられている場合には、ユーザ間で育成制御情報を送受信してもよい。
図19に、栽培システム100において他のユーザの生育情報および育成制御情報を閲覧する場合の携帯通信端末200の表示画面210の一例を示す。
表示画面210には、複数のユーザA,B,C,Dがそれぞれの携帯通信端末200で制御している栽培装置300内の植物の生育情報が表示される。生育情報としては、たとえばユーザAが育成している植物の画像241Aおよび計測結果242Aが表示され、他のユーザについても同様の表示がされる。
育成制御情報は有償および無償を問わない。
有償か無償であるかは、育成制御情報を提供したユーザ自身が選択することができる。
あるいは、提供された当初は育成制御情報は無償であり、当該育成制御情報が他のユーザによって完全再生モードで用いられるようにしてもよい。この場合、他のユーザによって完全再生モードにより当該育成制御情報がもたらす育成過程および/または収穫物について評価がなされ、一定の評価基準(たとえば、所定の数だけ肯定的な評価を得ること)をクリアしたことを条件に、有償化することができる。これによって、有償の育成制御情報の信頼性を担保することができる。
さらに、提供した育成制御情報が他のユーザによって改変されることを許可するか否かについても、ユーザが選択することができる。
値段を差別化する条件としては、当該育成制御情報によって育成された収穫物の味覚、栄養素、外観、大きさ、および形状などの評価実績が挙げられる。これらの条件それぞれにランク付けがされており、ランクに従って異なる値段を付すことができる。なお、評価は、ユーザによってなされた主観的な評価が平均化などにより統計処理されたものであってもよいし、評価機関によって公正になされたものであってもよいし、栽培装置300から取得した画像データの解析からクラウド500によって自動的に評価されたものであってもよい。
マーケットサイト555は、栽培システム100のオーナーのサイトであってもよいし、種苗販売業者または農業協同組合のサイトでもよいし、ソーシャルネットワークのサイトであってもよい。
