In particular, the present invention relates to an improvement of a remote server for improving the convenience of a remote monitoring system.
　従来、特許文献１に開示されているように、農作物の生産管理システムにおいて、各種情報に基づいて農作業の作業計画を立てることが知られている。具体的に、この特許文献１には、作業計画を立てるための各種情報が格納されたマスタ情報データベースから作業計画処理部に種々の情報を読み込み、この作業計画処理部によって、圃場に対応する作業計画を立てることが開示されている。また、この作業計画は作業計画データベースに登録される。そして、農作業を担当する作業者に作業計画を知らせる手段として、この登録されている作業計画をプリントアウトしている。つまり、作業者は、プリントアウトされた作業計画書を受け取って圃場に持参し、その作業計画書に従った農作業を行うことになる。 Conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is known to make a work plan for farm work based on various information in a crop production management system. Specifically, in Patent Document 1, various information is read into a work plan processing unit from a master information database in which various information for making a work plan is stored, and work corresponding to a farm field is performed by the work plan processing unit. Making a plan is disclosed. The work plan is registered in the work plan database.

In other words, the worker receives the printed work plan, brings it to the farm, and performs farm work according to the work plan.
特開２００９－６４２３１号公報JP 2009-64231 A
　ところが、特許文献１のものでは、作業者は、担当する圃場に向かう前に、生産管理システムの出力装置（プリンタ）が設置されている場所まで移動して作業計画書を受け取る必要があり煩雑であった。また、作業者が、複数の圃場で順に農作業を行う場合には、各圃場毎の作業計画書をそれぞれプリントアウトする必要があり、これも煩雑であった。 However, in the thing of patent document 1, an operator needs to move to the place where the output device (printer) of a production management system is installed, and to receive a work plan, before heading to the field in charge, and is complicated. there were. In addition, when the worker performs farm work in order on a plurality of fields, it is necessary to print out a work plan for each field, which is also complicated.
　本発明は、かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、作業計画の取得を作業者が容易に行うことができるシステムを実現するためのシステム構成要素を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a system component for realizing a system in which an operator can easily acquire a work plan. is there.
　前記課題を解決するための本発明の解決手段は、日時情報および作業領域に関連する位置情報を受信する遠隔サーバを対象とする。前記遠隔サーバは、前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報を受信した際に、前記作業領域に関連する位置情報に基づいて作業領域を特定する構成としている。また、前記遠隔サーバは、日時および作業領域に応じて予め登録されている複数の作業計画、または、所定の生産管理モデルにより生成される複数の作業計画の中から、前記受信した日時情報および前記特定された作業領域に基づいて作業計画を選択する構成としている。そして、前記遠隔サーバは、この選択された作業計画の情報を、前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報を発信した端末に返信する構成としている。 The solution of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is directed to a remote server that receives date / time information and position information related to a work area. The remote server is configured to identify the work area based on the position information related to the work area when receiving the date / time information and the position information related to the work area. The remote server may receive the received date and time information from the plurality of work plans registered in advance according to the date and time and the work area, or the plurality of work plans generated by a predetermined production management model. The work plan is selected based on the identified work area. And the said remote server is set as the structure which returns the information of this selected work plan to the terminal which transmitted the said date information and the positional information relevant to the said work area.
　この特定事項により、遠隔サーバは、端末から発信された日時情報および作業領域に関連する位置情報を遠隔サーバが受信すると、作業領域に関連する位置情報に基づいて作業領域を特定する。また、遠隔サーバは、複数の作業計画の中から、前記受信した日時情報および前記特定した作業領域に基づいて作業計画を選択する。そして、遠隔サーバは、この選択した作業計画の情報を端末（前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報を発信した端末）に返信する。このように端末と遠隔サーバとの間で双方向の情報伝達が行われることにより、作業者は、自己の担当する圃場を対象とした作業計画を、端末を利用して確認することができる。つまり、作業者が作業計画の情報を受け取る場所は、遠隔サーバから離れた場所（端末の場所）となり、例えば、作業計画の情報を作業領域（農作業を行う現場）等で受け取ることができる。このため、「作業者が、プリントアウトされた作業計画書を受け取った後に圃場に向かう」といった従来技術において必要であった動作は必要なくなる。その結果、作業計画の情報の取得が容易になり、システムの利便性を向上させることができる。なお、前記端末としては、前記特定された作業領域で作業を行う作業機に搭載されたものであってもよいし、作業者が携帯している情報端末（例えばスマートフォン等のモバイル端末）であってもよい。 According to this specific matter, when the remote server receives the date / time information transmitted from the terminal and the position information related to the work area, the remote server specifies the work area based on the position information related to the work area. The remote server selects a work plan from a plurality of work plans based on the received date and time information and the identified work area. Then, the remote server returns the selected work plan information to the terminal (the terminal that transmitted the date / time information and the position information related to the work area). Thus, by performing bidirectional information transmission between the terminal and the remote server, the worker can check the work plan for the field he / she is responsible for using the terminal. In other words, the place where the worker receives the work plan information is a place away from the remote server (terminal place). For example, the work plan information can be received in a work area (a field where farm work is performed) or the like. For this reason, the operation | movement required in the prior art "an operator goes to a farm field after receiving the printed work plan" becomes unnecessary. As a result, it is easy to obtain work plan information, and the convenience of the system can be improved. The terminal may be a terminal mounted on a work machine that performs work in the specified work area, or may be an information terminal carried by the worker (for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone). May be.
　また、遠隔サーバは、前記選択された作業計画の情報を前記端末に返信したことを記憶し、所定期間内は、この選択された作業計画の情報の前記端末への返信を停止する構成となっていることが好ましい。 Further, the remote server stores information indicating that the selected work plan information has been returned to the terminal, and stops replying the selected work plan information to the terminal within a predetermined period. It is preferable.
　この構成によれば、所定期間内において、端末から日時情報および作業領域に関連する位置情報を遠隔サーバが受信する度に、過去に返信した作業計画の情報と同じ作業計画の情報が端末（既に作業計画の情報を受け取っている端末）に返信されてしまうといったことを回避できる。例えば、所定のタイミング毎に（例えば作業機の起動タイミング毎に）端末から日時情報および作業領域に関連する位置情報が自動発信される場合、その度に、同じ作業計画の情報が遠隔サーバから端末に返信されてしまうといったことがなくなる。過去と同じ作業計画の情報が遠隔サーバから端末に返信されてしまう場合、その度に作業者は、作業を中断して、端末が受信した情報を確認することになり、その作業が煩雑となるが、本構成では、所定期間内に過去と同じ作業計画の情報が遠隔サーバから端末に返信されてしまうことがないため、作業を中断することがなくなる。 According to this configuration, when the remote server receives the date / time information and the position information related to the work area from the terminal within the predetermined period, the same work plan information as the work plan information returned in the past is received at the terminal (already It is possible to avoid a reply to the terminal receiving the work plan information. For example, when the date and time information and the position information related to the work area are automatically transmitted from the terminal at every predetermined timing (for example, every time the work machine is activated), the same work plan information is sent from the remote server to the terminal each time. Will not be replied to. When information on the same work plan as in the past is returned from the remote server to the terminal, the worker interrupts the work and confirms the information received by the terminal each time, and the work becomes complicated. However, in this configuration, information on the same work plan as in the past is not returned from the remote server to the terminal within a predetermined period, so that the work is not interrupted.
　また、遠隔サーバは、予め登録されている各作業領域毎の履歴情報の中から、前記特定された作業領域に該当する履歴情報を選択し、この選択された履歴情報を、前記選択された作業計画の情報と併せて前記端末に返信する構成となっていることが好ましい。 Further, the remote server selects history information corresponding to the specified work area from the history information for each work area registered in advance, and uses the selected history information as the selected work area. It is preferable that it is configured to send a reply to the terminal together with the plan information.
　ここでいう各作業領域毎の履歴情報とは、例えば作業領域毎の特徴を提示する情報であって、「石が多い作業領域である」、「作業領域が湿田である」、「作業機が走行する際に注意を要する場所がある作業領域である」等といった情報である。このような履歴情報が、作業計画の情報と併せて端末に返信される。これにより、その作業領域での作業が初めてである作業者や、その作業領域での作業の経験が少ない作業者であったとしても、この履歴情報によって注意を促して作業を行わせることができる。このため、前記履歴情報を認識していなかったことに起因する不具合を未然に防止することができる。また、端末が発信した位置情報に基づく作業領域のみの履歴情報が選択されて端末に返信されるため、不要な情報（作業者が担当していない作業領域の履歴情報）を端末が受信することはなく、履歴情報の確認が容易である。 The history information for each work area here is information that presents the characteristics of each work area, for example, “work area with many stones”, “work area is a wet field”, “work machine is This is information such as “the work area has a place where attention is required when traveling”. Such history information is returned to the terminal together with the work plan information. As a result, even if the worker is the first person to work in the work area or the worker has little experience in the work area, the history information can be used to call attention and perform the work. . For this reason, it is possible to prevent problems caused by not recognizing the history information. In addition, since history information of only the work area based on the position information transmitted by the terminal is selected and returned to the terminal, the terminal receives unnecessary information (history information of the work area not handled by the worker). It is easy to check the history information.
　また、遠隔サーバは、前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報に加えて、作業機の識別情報およびその作業機の所定の稼動情報を受信し、前記作業機の識別情報と関連付けて前記所定の稼動情報を稼動履歴として記録する。また、遠隔サーバは、前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報に加えて、前記作業機の識別情報を受信した際に、この識別情報に基づいて稼動履歴および作業機の種類を特定し、稼動履歴および作業機の種類に対応して予め定められた作業機の作業前点検項目の中から、前記特定された稼動履歴および作業機の種類に該当する作業前点検項目を選択し、この選択された作業前点検項目の情報を、前記選択された作業計画の情報と併せて前記端末に返信する構成となっていることが好ましい。 In addition to the date and time information and the position information related to the work area, the remote server receives work machine identification information and predetermined operation information of the work machine, and associates the work machine with the work machine identification information. Predetermined operation information is recorded as an operation history. Further, when the remote server receives the work machine identification information in addition to the date and time information and the position information related to the work area, the remote server specifies the operation history and the type of the work machine based on the identification information. The pre-operation inspection item corresponding to the specified operation history and the type of work implement is selected from the pre-operation inspection items for the work implement determined in advance corresponding to the operation history and the type of work implement. It is preferable that the information on the selected pre-operation inspection item is returned to the terminal together with the information on the selected work plan.
　この構成によれば、遠隔サーバは、作業機の識別情報およびその作業機の所定の稼動情報を受信した際、この所定の稼動情報を稼動履歴として記録する。また、遠隔サーバは、作業機の識別情報に基づいて稼動履歴および作業機の種類を特定する。そして、遠隔サーバは、前記特定された稼動履歴および作業機の種類に該当する作業前点検項目を選択して、その作業前点検項目の情報を端末に返信する。このため、作業開始前に、対象とする作業機に固有の稼動履歴および作業機の種類に応じた作業前点検項目を作業者に認識させることができ、現在の作業機の状態に応じた適切な作業前点検を効率良く行うことができる。なお、前記作業機の所定の稼動情報を遠隔サーバが受信するタイミングとしては、前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報を受信するタイミングだけでなく、その他のタイミング（例えば作業機のキーＯＦＦ時）にも受信するようにしてもよい。 According to this configuration, when the remote server receives the identification information of the work implement and the predetermined operation information of the work implement, the remote server records the predetermined operation information as an operation history. Further, the remote server specifies the operation history and the type of the work machine based on the work machine identification information. Then, the remote server selects a pre-operation inspection item corresponding to the specified operation history and the type of work machine, and returns information on the pre-operation inspection item to the terminal. For this reason, before starting work, it is possible to make the operator recognize the operation history specific to the target work machine and the pre-work inspection items according to the type of work machine. Efficient pre-work inspection. The timing at which the remote server receives the predetermined operation information of the work machine is not limited to the timing of receiving the date / time information and the position information related to the work area, but other timings (for example, the key OFF of the work machine). May also be received.
　また、遠隔サーバは、前記作業機のメンテナンスが行われた場合に、その作業機の識別情報と関連付けてメンテナンス履歴を記録し、この記録されたメンテナンス履歴を照合して、前記選択される作業前点検項目からメンテナンス済みの項目を除外する構成となっていることが好ましい。 Further, when maintenance of the work machine is performed, the remote server records a maintenance history in association with the identification information of the work machine, collates the recorded maintenance history, and selects the pre-work to be selected. It is preferable that the configuration is such that items that have been maintained are excluded from inspection items.
　この構成によれば、メンテナンス済みの項目は、作業前点検項目の情報として端末に返信されることがない。つまり、メンテナンス履歴と整合の取れた作業前点検項目の情報を端末に返信して作業者に確認させることができ、メンテナンス済みの項目について、作業者に作業前点検を促すことがない。このため、必要のない作業前点検を作業者に行わせることがなくなり、作業前点検を効率良く行うことができる。 According to this configuration, items that have been maintained are not sent back to the terminal as information on inspection items before work. That is, it is possible to return information on pre-operation inspection items that are consistent with the maintenance history to the terminal so that the operator can confirm the information, and the operator is not prompted to perform pre-operation inspection on items that have been maintained. For this reason, it is no longer necessary for the operator to perform an unnecessary pre-operation inspection, and the pre-operation inspection can be performed efficiently.
　また、遠隔サーバは、前記作業計画毎の作業目標値が予め登録されており、これら作業目標値のうち、前記選択された作業計画に該当する作業目標値を選択し、この選択された作業目標値の情報を、前記選択された作業計画の情報と併せて前記端末に返信する構成となっていることが好ましい。 The remote server has pre-registered work target values for each work plan, and selects a work target value corresponding to the selected work plan from these work target values, and selects the selected work target. It is preferable that the value information is sent back to the terminal together with the selected work plan information.
　この構成によれば、作業者は、作業目標値を認識しながら作業計画に従った作業を行うことになる。このため、作業者に、効率的な作業を意識付けすることができる。 According to this configuration, the worker performs work according to the work plan while recognizing the work target value. For this reason, an operator can be made aware of efficient work.
　また、遠隔サーバは、前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報に加えて、所定の稼動情報を受信し、この稼動情報から、作業領域別の作業実績情報、または、作業別の作業実績情報を作成する構成となっていることが好ましい。 Further, the remote server receives predetermined operation information in addition to the date and time information and the position information related to the work area, and from this operation information, the work result information for each work area or the work result for each work It is preferable that the information is created.
　また、遠隔サーバは、前記日時情報および前記作業領域に関連する位置情報に加えて、作業者情報および所定の稼動情報を受信し、これら情報から、作業者別の作業実績情報を作成する構成となっていることが好ましい。 The remote server receives worker information and predetermined operation information in addition to the date and time information and the position information related to the work area, and creates work result information for each worker from the information. It is preferable that
　これらの構成によれば作業実績の多面的な分析が可能となり、システムの高効率化に役立てることができる。 These configurations enable multifaceted analysis of work results, which can be used to increase the efficiency of the system.
　本発明では、遠隔サーバが、日時情報および作業領域に関連する位置情報を端末から受信した際、それらの情報に基づいて選択された作業計画の情報を前記端末に返信する構成としている。このため、作業者における作業計画の取得が容易になり、システムの利便性の向上を実現させることができる。 In the present invention, when the remote server receives the date / time information and the position information related to the work area from the terminal, the remote server returns the work plan information selected based on the information to the terminal. For this reason, it is easy for the worker to obtain a work plan, and the convenience of the system can be improved.

　遠隔サーバ１３０は、農業機械１１０，…に対して遠く離れた位置にある遠隔監視センター１２０に配置されており、農業機械１１０の稼動状態に関するデータである予め定めた所定の稼動情報（稼動データ）を収集して蓄積するようになっている。そして、遠隔サーバ１３０は、ＬＡＮ（Local Area Network）やインターネット等のネットワーク１５０を介してパーソナルコンピュータ等の固定端末機（具体的にはクライアントコンピュータ）１６０，…、或いは／さらに、多機能携帯電話機（所謂スマートフォン）やタブレット携帯端末機等の携帯端末機（具体的にはクライアントコンピュータ）１７０，…に接続され、蓄積したデータが固定端末機１６０，…或いは／さらに携帯端末機１７０，…に取り込まれることで、農業機械１１０のユーザやディーラ等の利用者によって利用されるようになっている。固定端末機１６０および携帯端末機１７０は、制御部１６１，１７１を備えている。制御部１６１，１７１は、遠隔サーバ１３０から送られてきたデータに基づいた表示情報や、各種の入力画面を表示したり、利用者により入力された必要な情報を受け付けたりするようになっている。 The remote server 130 is disposed in the remote monitoring center 120 located far away from the agricultural machines 110,... And predetermined predetermined operation information (operation data) that is data relating to the operating state of the agricultural machines 110. It collects and accumulates. The remote server 130 is connected to a fixed terminal (specifically, a client computer) 160 such as a personal computer via a network 150 such as a LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet. Connected to a mobile terminal (specifically, a client computer) 170,... Such as a so-called smart phone) or a tablet mobile terminal, and the accumulated data is taken into the fixed terminal 160,. Thus, it is used by a user of the agricultural machine 110 or a user such as a dealer. The fixed terminal 160 and the portable terminal 170 include control units 161 and 171. The control units 161 and 171 display display information based on data sent from the remote server 130, various input screens, and receive necessary information input by the user. .
　遠隔監視端末装置２００および遠隔サーバ１３０は、それぞれ、通信部２１０，１３１（具体的には通信モジュール）を有し、通信網１４０を介して互いの通信部２１０，１３１で接続されることで、遠隔監視端末装置２００と遠隔サーバ１３０との間で情報の送受信を行うことが可能とされている。これにより、遠隔サーバ１３０は、遠隔監視センター１２０で利用者により農業機械１１０，…を遠隔監視できるようになっている。 The remote monitoring terminal device 200 and the remote server 130 have communication units 210 and 131 (specifically, communication modules), respectively, and are connected to each other by the communication units 210 and 131 via the communication network 140. Information can be transmitted and received between the remote monitoring terminal device 200 and the remote server 130. As a result, the remote server 130 can remotely monitor the agricultural machines 110,... By the user at the remote monitoring center 120.
　なお、通信網１４０は、有線通信網でもよいし、無線通信網でもよく、有線通信網および無線通信網を組み合わせたものであってもよい。 Note that the communication network 140 may be a wired communication network, a wireless communication network, or a combination of a wired communication network and a wireless communication network.
　遠隔サーバ１３０と遠隔監視端末装置２００とが互いに通信する通信構成としては、アクセスポイントを介さない通信構成（図１参照）と、アクセスポイント（この例では携帯端末機１８０）を介した通信構成（図２参照）とを例示できる。 As a communication configuration in which the remote server 130 and the remote monitoring terminal device 200 communicate with each other, a communication configuration that does not use an access point (see FIG. 1) and a communication configuration that uses an access point (in this example, the portable terminal 180) ( (See FIG. 2).
　アクセスポイントを介さない図１に示す通信構成では、通信網１４０として、代表的には、電気通信事業者が提供する公衆回線網であって、固定電話機や携帯電話機等の端末機同士を通信させる公衆回線網を挙げることができる。 In the communication configuration shown in FIG. 1 without an access point, the communication network 140 is typically a public line network provided by a telecommunications carrier, and communicates between terminals such as fixed telephones and mobile phones. Public network can be mentioned.
　アクセスポイントを介した図２に示す通信構成では、通信網１４０として、代表的には、公衆回線網を介したインターネットを挙げることができる。この場合、遠隔監視端末装置２００における通信部２１０は、アクセスポイントを介してインターネットにアクセス可能な携帯端末機１８０に対してＷｉＦｉ（登録商標）規格に代表されるＩＥＥＥ８０２．１１規格の無線ＬＡＮ通信等の短距離無線通信を介した通信（所謂、携帯端末機１８０のテザリング機能を用いた通信）を行うことができる。携帯端末機１８０は、制御部１８１を備えている。制御部１８１は、遠隔サーバ１３０から送られてきたデータに基づいた表示情報や、各種の入力画面を表示したり、作業者により入力された必要な情報を受け付けたりするようになっている。 In the communication configuration shown in FIG. 2 via an access point, the communication network 140 can typically be the Internet via a public network. In this case, the communication unit 210 in the remote monitoring terminal device 200 uses the wireless LAN communication of the IEEE 802.11 standard represented by the WiFi (registered trademark) standard to the portable terminal 180 that can access the Internet via the access point. Communication via the short-range wireless communication (so-called communication using the tethering function of the portable terminal 180) can be performed. The mobile terminal 180 includes a control unit 181. The control unit 181 displays display information based on data sent from the remote server 130, various input screens, and receives necessary information input by an operator.
　図３に示すように、農業機械１１０，…は、１つまたは複数（ここでは複数）の作業部１１１，…と、遠隔監視端末装置２００とを備えている。ここで、作業部１１１，…としては、例えば、農業機械がコンバインである場合には、走行作業部、刈り取り作業部、脱穀作業部等を挙げることができる。 As shown in FIG. 3, the agricultural machine 110,...

Hereinafter, functions of each unit will be described.
　（作業領域特定部）
　作業領域特定部１４１は、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０から日時情報および位置情報（以下、作業領域に関連する位置情報という場合もある）を受信した際に、この位置情報に基づいて作業領域（圃場）を特定するものである。 (Work area identification part)
When the work area specifying unit 141 receives date and time information and position information (hereinafter also referred to as position information related to the work area) from the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the mobile terminal 180, the work area specifying unit 141 is based on the position information. A work area (a field) is specified.
　つまり、前述した農業機械１１０における起動情報送信制御部２４１による起動情報送信機能によって発信される起動情報（日時情報および位置情報）、または、前述した農業機械１１０における位置情報送信制御部２４４による位置情報送信機能によって発信される日時情報および位置情報（作業領域に関連する位置情報）を、遠隔サーバ１３０が受信すると、作業領域特定部１４１が、この位置情報に基づいて作業領域を特定することになる。例えば、現在の位置情報から特定される農業機械１１０の位置に最も近い圃場が、作業領域として特定されることになる。 That is, the activation information (date and time information and position information) transmitted by the activation information transmission function by the activation information transmission control unit 241 in the agricultural machine 110 described above, or the position information by the position information transmission control unit 244 in the agricultural machine 110 described above. When the remote server 130 receives the date information and position information (position information related to the work area) transmitted by the transmission function, the work area specifying unit 141 specifies the work area based on the position information. . For example, the farm field closest to the position of the agricultural machine 110 identified from the current position information is identified as the work area.
　例えば、農業機械１１０が耕耘機や田植機である場合には、農業機械１１０は圃場近くまで搬送（トラック等による搬送）された後に起動スイッチＳＷがオン操作される場合が多い。この場合、農業機械１１０は、作業すべき圃場の近くで起動スイッチＳＷがオン操作されるため、起動情報送信制御部２４１による起動情報送信機能によって発信される起動情報（日時情報および位置情報）に従って作業領域（圃場）が特定されることになる。 For example, when the agricultural machine 110 is a cultivator or a rice transplanter, the start switch SW is often turned on after the agricultural machine 110 is transported to the vicinity of the field (transported by a truck or the like). In this case, since the start switch SW is turned on near the farm field to be worked, the agricultural machine 110 follows the start information (date information and position information) transmitted by the start information transmission function by the start information transmission control unit 241. A work area (a field) is specified.
　一方、農業機械１１０がコンバインである場合には、農業機械１１０は圃場まで自走する場合が多い。この場合、例えば納屋に収容されている農業機械１１０の起動スイッチＳＷがオン操作された時点では作業領域（圃場）は特定されない。そして、農業機械１１０が、作業すべき圃場の近くまで自走したタイミングで位置情報送信制御部２４４による位置情報送信機能によって発信される日時情報および位置情報（所定周期毎に発信される情報）に従って作業領域（圃場）が特定されることになる。 On the other hand, when the agricultural machine 110 is a combine, the agricultural machine 110 often travels to the field. In this case, for example, when the start switch SW of the agricultural machine 110 housed in the barn is turned on, the work area (farm field) is not specified. And according to the date information and position information (information transmitted every predetermined period) transmitted by the position information transmission function by the position information transmission control unit 244 at the timing when the agricultural machine 110 self-travels to the vicinity of the field to be worked. A work area (a field) is specified.
　また、仮に、位置情報によって特定される農業機械１１０の位置が複数の圃場の中間位置となっており、農業機械１１０の位置が単一の圃場として特定できない場合には、これら複数の圃場それぞれを作業領域として特定することになる。つまり、作業領域特定部１４１は、位置情報に基づき、農作業を行う可能性のある圃場の全てを作業領域として特定することになる。 In addition, if the position of the agricultural machine 110 specified by the position information is an intermediate position among a plurality of fields, and the position of the agricultural machine 110 cannot be specified as a single field, each of the plurality of fields is It will be specified as a work area. That is, the work area specifying unit 141 specifies all the fields that may be used for farm work as work areas based on the position information.
　また、作業領域特定部１４１は、農業機械１１０から受ける位置情報に基づいて作業領域を特定する機能だけでなく、アクセスポイントを介した図２に示す通信構成にあっては、携帯端末機１８０の通信部から発信された日時情報および位置情報（作業領域に関連する位置情報）を受信すると、この位置情報に基づいて作業領域を特定するようになっている。例えば、作業者が携帯端末機１８０を操作して圃場の位置情報を入力した場合には、携帯端末機１８０の通信部から発信される位置情報は、ある圃場を特定するものとなるため、作業領域特定部１４１は、その位置情報に該当する圃場を作業領域として特定することになる。なお、この場合に、作業者が複数の圃場の位置情報を入力した場合には、これら複数の圃場が作業領域として特定されることになる。 In addition, the work area specifying unit 141 has not only a function of specifying a work area based on position information received from the agricultural machine 110 but also a communication configuration shown in FIG. When the date and time information and position information (position information related to the work area) transmitted from the communication unit is received, the work area is specified based on the position information. For example, when the operator operates the portable terminal 180 to input the position information of the farm field, the position information transmitted from the communication unit of the portable terminal 180 identifies a certain farm field. The area specifying unit 141 specifies an agricultural field corresponding to the position information as a work area. In this case, when the operator inputs position information of a plurality of fields, the plurality of fields are specified as work areas.
　（作業計画登録部）
　記憶部１３５の作業計画登録部１５１には、所有者が所有している圃場の全てに対し、それぞれの圃場に対応付けて作業計画（作業日時と作業内容とを関連付けた情報）が登録されている。具体的には、所有者が複数の圃場を所有している場合、各圃場それぞれにおいて生産する農作物が異なっていたり、各圃場において必要とされている農作業（例えば、代掻き、田植え、農薬散布、収穫等の農作業）が異なっていたりするため、各圃場それぞれに対し、農作物および必要とされている農作業に応じて作業計画が個別に立てられて、その情報が作業計画登録部１５１に登録されている。また、一つの圃場に対する同一の農作業は数日間に亘って実施される場合が多いため、この作業計画としては、農作業の内容と、その農作業を実施する期間とが関連付けられて作業計画として登録されている。 (Work Plan Registration Department)
In the work plan registration unit 151 of the storage unit 135, a work plan (information in which work date and time and work content are associated) is registered in association with each field for all the fields owned by the owner. Yes. Specifically, when the owner owns multiple fields, the farm products produced in each field are different, or the farm work required in each field (for example, plowing, rice planting, pesticide application, harvesting) For each field, work plans are individually set up according to the crops and the required farm work, and the information is registered in the work plan registration unit 151. . In addition, since the same farm work for one field is often carried out over several days, this work plan is registered as a work plan in association with the contents of the farm work and the period for which the farm work is carried out. ing.
　なお、作業計画登録部１５１に登録されている作業計画としては、圃場の所有者等が、固定端末機１６０や携帯端末機１７０を操作することで入力したものであってもよいし、予め構築された生産管理モデルにより生成されたものであってもよい。 Note that the work plan registered in the work plan registration unit 151 may be input by the farm owner or the like by operating the fixed terminal 160 or the portable terminal 170, or is constructed in advance. It may be generated by the produced production management model.
　ここで、生産管理モデルとは、農作物の種類等に応じて、日時と農作業との関係を予め特定した標準作業計画（標準生産管理モデル）に対し、数日前から現時点までの降水量、日照時間、気温等の気象条件に基づいて、必要とする農作業を自動的に補正して生成されるものである。つまり、生産管理モデルにより生成された作業計画を作業計画登録部１５１に記憶させる場合には、前述したように気象条件に応じて逐次更新された作業計画が各圃場に対応して記憶されている。 Here, the production management model refers to the amount of rainfall and sunshine hours from a few days ago to the current time for a standard work plan (standard production management model) that specifies the relationship between date and time and farm work in advance, depending on the type of crop, etc. Based on weather conditions such as temperature, the farm work required is automatically corrected and generated. That is, when the work plan generated by the production management model is stored in the work plan registration unit 151, as described above, the work plan updated sequentially according to the weather conditions is stored corresponding to each field. .
　（作業計画選択部）
　作業計画選択部１４２は、作業計画登録部１５１に登録されている複数の作業計画、または、前記生産管理モデルにより生成されている複数の作業計画の中から、前記受信した日時情報および前記特定された（作業領域特定部１４１によって特定された）作業領域に基づいて作業計画を選択するものである。 (Work plan selection part)
The work plan selection unit 142 includes the received date / time information and the identified information from a plurality of work plans registered in the work plan registration unit 151 or a plurality of work plans generated by the production management model. The work plan is selected based on the work area (specified by the work area specifying unit 141).
　つまり、作業計画選択部１４２は、作業計画登録部１５１に登録されている複数の作業計画の中から、受信した日時情報で特定される日時に合致し、且つ、受信した位置情報から特定された作業領域に合致する作業計画を選択（抽出）するものである。 That is, the work plan selection unit 142 matches the date and time specified by the received date and time information from among the plurality of work plans registered in the work plan registration unit 151 and is specified from the received position information. A work plan that matches the work area is selected (extracted).
　これにより、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に向けて返信される情報の一つである「作業計画」が特定されることになる。つまり、遠隔サーバ１３０から、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に向けて返信される情報としては、この「作業計画」が含まれることになる。 As a result, a “work plan” which is one of information returned to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the mobile terminal device 180 is specified. That is, the “work plan” is included as information returned from the remote server 130 toward the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the mobile terminal device 180.
　このようにして選択された作業計画の情報は、制御部１３２および通信部１３１の動作によって、第１通信部１３１ａから遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信され、その端末の画面に作業計画が表示されることになる。 The information on the work plan selected in this way is returned from the first communication unit 131a to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal device 180 by the operations of the control unit 132 and the communication unit 131, and the work plan is displayed on the screen of the terminal. The plan will be displayed.
　この場合における返信先の端末は、前記日時情報および位置情報（作業領域に関連する位置情報）を発信した端末である。例えば、前記日時情報および位置情報と共に、これら情報を発信した端末の識別情報（端末電話番号等）を受信し、この識別情報を有する端末に対して作業計画の情報を返信することになる。 In this case, the reply destination terminal is a terminal that has transmitted the date and time information and position information (position information related to the work area). For example, together with the date and time information and the position information, identification information (terminal telephone number or the like) of the terminal that has transmitted the information is received, and work plan information is returned to the terminal having the identification information.
　具体的には、記憶部１３５には、農業機械１１０および携帯端末機１８０の識別情報を格納したテーブルが備えられており、前記情報を受信した際に、このテーブルから端末を特定し、その端末の識別情報（端末電話番号等）に向けて作業計画の情報を返信することになる。図６は、このテーブルの一例として、農業機械１１０の識別情報を格納したテーブルを示している。この図６のものでは、農業機械１１０の型式１３８ａに対応して、カテゴリ１３８ｂ、商品区分１３８ｃ、シリーズ名１３８ｄ、機番１３８ｅ、遠隔監視端末装置２００に通信接続するための端末電話番号１３８ｆが登録されている。これにより、仮に、前記日時情報および位置情報を発信した端末が農業機械１１０の遠隔監視端末装置２００であった場合には、受信した情報の中に含まれる農業機械１１０の識別情報から、図６のテーブルを参照することで、日時情報および位置情報を発信した遠隔監視端末装置２００を特定し、この特定された遠隔監視端末装置２００に対して前記作業計画の情報を返信することになる。 Specifically, the storage unit 135 includes a table storing identification information of the agricultural machine 110 and the portable terminal 180. When the information is received, the terminal is identified from the table, and the terminal The work plan information is returned to the identification information (terminal telephone number or the like). FIG. 6 shows a table storing identification information of the agricultural machine 110 as an example of this table. In FIG. 6, corresponding to the type 138a of the agricultural machine 110, a category 138b, a product category 138c, a series name 138d, a machine number 138e, and a terminal telephone number 138f for communication connection to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 are registered. Has been. Accordingly, if the terminal that transmitted the date information and the position information is the remote monitoring terminal device 200 of the agricultural machine 110, the identification information of the agricultural machine 110 included in the received information is used as shown in FIG. By referring to the table, the remote monitoring terminal device 200 that transmitted the date information and the position information is specified, and the work plan information is returned to the specified remote monitoring terminal device 200.
　（返信情報記憶部）
　返信情報記憶部１５２は、遠隔サーバ１３０から、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に向けて作業計画の情報が返信された場合、この返信が行われたことを所定期間（例えば、その日の一日間）記憶しておく。具体的には、返信した作業計画の内容（圃場および農作業の内容）、返信した端末（作業計画の返信先の端末）の識別情報を記憶しておく。 (Reply information storage)
When the work plan information is returned from the remote server 130 to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the mobile terminal 180, the reply information storage unit 152 indicates that this reply has been made for a predetermined period (for example, the day). Remember for one day. Specifically, the contents of the returned work plan (field and farm work contents) and identification information of the returned terminal (work plan reply destination terminal) are stored.
　そして、作業計画選択部１４２において作業計画が特定された場合に、制御部１３２は、この特定された作業計画と、返信情報記憶部１５２に記憶されている作業計画とを比較する。そして、特定された作業計画が、返信情報記憶部１５２に記憶されている作業計画（当日、既に返信された作業計画）と同じもの（圃場、農作業の内容、返信先の端末の識別情報が同じもの）であった場合、制御部１３２は、その作業計画の返信を停止するようになっている。 When the work plan is specified by the work plan selection unit 142, the control unit 132 compares the specified work plan with the work plan stored in the reply information storage unit 152. Then, the identified work plan is the same as the work plan stored in the reply information storage unit 152 (the work plan already returned on the day) (the field, the contents of the farm work, and the identification information of the reply destination terminal are the same) If it is, the control unit 132 stops replying the work plan.
　これにより、過去に返信した作業計画の情報（当日に返信した作業計画の情報）と同じ作業計画の情報が、この作業計画の情報を既に受け取っている遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信されてしまうといったことを回避できる。例えば、所定のタイミング毎に（例えば農業機械１１０の起動タイミング毎に）遠隔監視端末装置２００から日時情報および作業領域に関連する位置情報が自動発信される場合、その度に、同じ作業計画の情報が遠隔サーバ１３０から遠隔監視端末装置２００に返信されてしまうといったことがなくなる。過去と同じ作業計画の情報が遠隔サーバ１３０から遠隔監視端末装置２００に返信されてしまう場合、その度に作業者は、作業を中断して、遠隔監視端末装置２００が受信した情報を確認することになり、その作業が煩雑となるが、本実施形態では、所定期間内に過去と同じ作業計画の情報が遠隔サーバ１３０から遠隔監視端末装置２００に返信されてしまうことがないため、作業を中断することがなくなる。 As a result, the same work plan information as the work plan information replied in the past (the work plan information replied on the day) is sent to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 that has already received the work plan information. You can avoid being replied. For example, the date and time information and the position information related to the work area are automatically transmitted from the remote monitoring terminal device 200 every predetermined timing (for example, every activation timing of the agricultural machine 110), the information of the same work plan each time Is not returned from the remote server 130 to the remote monitoring terminal device 200. When information on the same work plan as in the past is returned from the remote server 130 to the remote monitoring terminal device 200, the worker interrupts the work and confirms the information received by the remote monitoring terminal device 200 each time. However, in this embodiment, the information on the same work plan as in the past is not returned from the remote server 130 to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 within a predetermined period, so the work is interrupted. There is no longer to do.
　（作業領域履歴情報記憶部）
　作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３には、所有者が所有している圃場のそれぞれに対して、各圃場の特徴を提示する情報が登録されている。例えば、「石が多い作業領域（圃場）である」、「作業領域が湿田である」、「農業機械１１０が走行する際に注意を要する場所がある作業領域である」等といった情報が、各圃場の個別の特徴として作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に登録されている。 (Work area history information storage unit)
In the work area history information storage unit 153, information presenting characteristics of each field is registered for each field owned by the owner. For example, information such as “a work area with many stones (farm field)”, “a work area is a wet field”, “a work area with a place where attention is required when the agricultural machine 110 travels”, etc. It is registered in the work area history information storage unit 153 as individual features of the field.
　作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に登録される情報を取得するための手法としては、前述した農業機械１１０におけるイベント発報情報送信制御部２４３によるイベント発報情報送信機能によって発信されるイベント発報情報を、遠隔サーバ１３０が受信すると、受信したイベント発報情報が圃場の特徴に係わる情報であった場合に、その情報が作業領域履歴情報として作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に記憶されるようになっている。一例を挙げると、エンジン１１２のトルクが急激に上昇することでイベント発報が発生し、そのイベント発報情報を遠隔サーバ１３０が受信した場合には、「圃場に石が存在している」という作業領域履歴情報を作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に記憶することになる。 As a method for acquiring information registered in the work area history information storage unit 153, event notification information transmitted by the event notification information transmission function by the event notification information transmission control unit 243 in the agricultural machine 110 described above is used. Is received by the remote server 130, when the received event notification information is information relating to the characteristics of the field, the information is stored in the work area history information storage unit 153 as work area history information. ing. As an example, when the torque of the engine 112 suddenly increases and an event report is generated, and the remote server 130 receives the event report information, “there is a stone in the field”. The work area history information is stored in the work area history information storage unit 153.
　また、作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に登録される作業領域履歴情報としては、所有者が固定端末機１６０や携帯端末機１７０を操作することで入力された情報や、作業者が遠隔監視端末装置２００や携帯端末機１８０を操作することで入力された情報であってもよい。 The work area history information registered in the work area history information storage unit 153 includes information input by the owner operating the fixed terminal device 160 and the portable terminal device 170, and the worker who uses the remote monitoring terminal device. Information input by operating the mobile terminal 200 or the mobile terminal 180 may be used.
　（履歴情報選択部）
　履歴情報選択部１４３は、作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に登録されている作業領域履歴情報（イベント発報情報から得られた圃場の特徴を提示する情報）から所定の情報を選択するものである。 (History information selection part)
The history information selection unit 143 selects predetermined information from the work area history information registered in the work area history information storage unit 153 (information presenting the field characteristics obtained from the event report information). .
　具体的には、作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に登録されている複数の作業領域履歴情報の中から、前記特定された作業領域に対応する作業領域履歴情報を選択（抽出）するものである。これにより、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に向けて返信される情報の一つである「作業領域履歴情報」が特定されることになる。つまり、遠隔サーバ１３０から、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に向けて返信される情報には、この「作業領域履歴情報」が含まれることになる。この「作業領域履歴情報」は、前記「作業計画」に併せて遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信される。そして、この端末の画面に前記「作業計画」に併せて「作業領域履歴情報」が表示されることになる。 Specifically, the work area history information corresponding to the specified work area is selected (extracted) from a plurality of work area history information registered in the work area history information storage unit 153. As a result, “work area history information”, which is one of information returned to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180, is specified. That is, the information returned from the remote server 130 toward the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the mobile terminal 180 includes this “work area history information”. This “work area history information” is returned to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 together with the “work plan”. Then, “work area history information” is displayed together with the “work plan” on the screen of this terminal.
　これにより、その作業領域での作業が初めてである作業者や、その作業領域での作業の経験が少ない作業者であったとしても、この作業領域履歴情報によって注意を促して作業を行わせることができる。このため、作業領域履歴情報を認識していなかったことに起因する不具合を未然に防止することができる。また、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０が発信した位置情報に基づく作業領域のみの履歴情報が選択されて遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信されるため、不要な情報（作業者が担当していない作業領域の履歴情報）を端末が受信することはなく、作業領域履歴情報の確認が容易である。 As a result, even if the worker is the first person to work in the work area or the worker has little experience in the work area, the work area history information can be used to call attention and perform the work. Can do. For this reason, the malfunction resulting from not recognizing the work area history information can be prevented in advance. Further, since history information of only the work area based on the position information transmitted from the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 is selected and returned to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180, unnecessary information (work The terminal does not receive the work area history information that the person is not in charge of, and the work area history information can be easily confirmed.
　（稼動履歴記憶部）
　稼動履歴記憶部１５４は、遠隔監視端末装置２００から受信した農業機械１１０の識別情報および農業機械１１０の稼動情報を受信し、農業機械１１０の識別情報と関連付けて農業機械１１０の稼動情報を稼動履歴として記録していくものである。 (Operation history storage unit)
The operation history storage unit 154 receives the identification information of the agricultural machine 110 and the operation information of the agricultural machine 110 received from the remote monitoring terminal device 200, and associates the operation information of the agricultural machine 110 with the identification information of the agricultural machine 110. It will be recorded as.
　具体的には、稼動情報送信制御部２４２において取得された稼動情報（エンジン１１２の回転数、稼動積算時間、エンジン負荷率、車速など）を遠隔サーバ１３０が受信し、この稼動情報に基づいて、例えば、農業機械１１０の稼動時間の積算値、燃料消費量、農作物の収穫量等の各種情報が、農業機械１１０毎に（農業機械１１０の識別情報と関連付けて）稼動履歴記憶部１５４に記録される。なお、前記収穫量の情報については、周知の収穫量センサによって取得するようにしてもよい。 Specifically, the remote server 130 receives the operation information (the rotation speed of the engine 112, the operation integration time, the engine load factor, the vehicle speed, etc.) acquired by the operation information transmission control unit 242, and based on this operation information, For example, various information such as an integrated value of the operating time of the agricultural machine 110, fuel consumption, and crop yield is recorded in the operation history storage unit 154 for each agricultural machine 110 (in association with identification information of the agricultural machine 110). The Note that the harvest amount information may be acquired by a known harvest amount sensor.
　（作業機種類特定部）
　作業機種類特定部１４４は、遠隔監視端末装置２００から受信した農業機械１１０の識別情報から、農業機械１１０の種類を特定するものである。詳しくは、情報を発信した農業機械１１０が、コンバイン、耕耘機、田植機の何れであるのか、また、農業機械１１０の仕様等の情報が特定されることになる。具体的には、例えば日時情報および位置情報を発信した端末が農業機械１１０の遠隔監視端末装置２００であった場合には、受信した情報の中に含まれる農業機械１１０の識別情報（例えば端末電話番号１３８ｆ）から、図６のテーブルを参照することで、農業機械１１０の種類（例えば型式１３８ａや商品区分１３８ｃ等）を特定する。 (Work machine type specific part)
The work machine type specifying unit 144 specifies the type of the agricultural machine 110 from the identification information of the agricultural machine 110 received from the remote monitoring terminal device 200. Specifically, information such as the combiner, the cultivator, or the rice transplanter, and the specifications of the agricultural machine 110 are specified. Specifically, for example, when the terminal that transmitted the date information and the position information is the remote monitoring terminal device 200 of the agricultural machine 110, the identification information (for example, terminal phone) of the agricultural machine 110 included in the received information From the number 138f), the type of the agricultural machine 110 (for example, the model 138a, the product category 138c, etc.) is specified by referring to the table of FIG.
　（作業前点検項目記憶部）
　作業前点検項目記憶部１５５は、農業機械１１０の種類に応じた作業前点検項目が予め記憶されている。農業機械１１０は、その種類によって構造が異なるため、その作業前に必要となる点検項目もそれぞれ異なっている。作業前点検項目記憶部１５５では、この点を考慮し、農業機械１１０の種類に応じた作業前点検項目が記憶されている。具体的な作業前点検項目については周知であるため、ここでの説明は省略する。 (Pre-operation inspection item storage)
The pre-operation inspection item storage unit 155 stores pre-operation inspection items according to the type of the agricultural machine 110 in advance. Since the structure of the agricultural machine 110 is different depending on the type, the inspection items required before the work are also different. In consideration of this point, the pre-operation inspection item storage unit 155 stores pre-operation inspection items according to the type of the agricultural machine 110. Since specific pre-operation inspection items are well known, description thereof is omitted here.
　（メンテナンス履歴記憶部）
　メンテナンス履歴記憶部１５６は、農業機械１１０に備えられた遠隔監視端末装置２００におけるメンテナンス情報送信制御部２４５によるメンテナンス情報送信機能によって発信されるメンテナンス情報を、遠隔サーバ１３０が受信した際に、このメンテナンス情報を記憶する。なお、このメンテナンス情報を記憶しておく期間は、そのメンテナンスの内容によって異なっている。例えば、メンテナンス間隔が比較的短い項目（例えば前記ＰＭ除去運転）に対しては、このメンテナンス情報を記憶しておく期間は比較的短くなっている。逆に、メンテナンス間隔が比較的長い項目（例えばエンジンオイルの交換やベルト類の交換）に対しては、このメンテナンス情報を記憶しておく期間は比較的長くなっている。これらメンテナンス情報を記憶しておく期間は任意に設定が可能である。 (Maintenance history storage)
When the remote server 130 receives the maintenance information transmitted by the maintenance information transmission function by the maintenance information transmission control unit 245 in the remote monitoring terminal device 200 provided in the agricultural machine 110, the maintenance history storage unit 156 performs this maintenance. Store information. The period for storing the maintenance information varies depending on the content of the maintenance. For example, for an item having a relatively short maintenance interval (for example, the PM removal operation), the period for storing the maintenance information is relatively short. Conversely, for items with a relatively long maintenance interval (for example, replacement of engine oil or replacement of belts), the period for storing the maintenance information is relatively long. The period for storing the maintenance information can be arbitrarily set.
　（作業前点検項目特定部）
　作業前点検項目特定部１４５は、作業前点検項目記憶部１５５に記憶されている各種作業前点検項目の中から、農業機械１１０の種類（作業機種類特定部１４４において特定された農業機械１１０の種類）に応じた作業前点検項目を選択するものである。 (Pre-work inspection item identification section)
The pre-operation inspection item specifying unit 145 selects the type of the agricultural machine 110 (the type of the agricultural machine 110 specified by the work machine type specifying unit 144 from the various pre-operation inspection items stored in the pre-operation inspection item storage unit 155. The pre-operation inspection item corresponding to the type) is selected.
　また、この選択される作業前点検項目としては、メンテナンス履歴記憶部１５６に記憶されているメンテナンス項目については除外される。例えば、エンジンオイルが補充されたことの情報がメンテナンス履歴記憶部１５６に記憶されている場合には、作業前点検項目記憶部１５５から選択される作業前点検項目としては「エンジンオイルのチェック」が除外される。また、ＰＭ除去運転が行われたことの情報がメンテナンス履歴記憶部１５６に記憶されている場合には、作業前点検項目記憶部１５５から選択される作業前点検項目としては「ＰＭ堆積量のチェック」が除外される。 Also, the maintenance items stored in the maintenance history storage unit 156 are excluded from the selected pre-operation inspection items. For example, when the information that the engine oil has been replenished is stored in the maintenance history storage unit 156, “engine oil check” is selected as the pre-operation inspection item selected from the pre-operation inspection item storage unit 155. Excluded. In addition, when information indicating that the PM removal operation has been performed is stored in the maintenance history storage unit 156, the pre-operation inspection item selected from the pre-operation inspection item storage unit 155 is “PM accumulation amount check”. Is excluded.
　そして、遠隔サーバ１３０は、制御部１３２および通信部１３１の動作によって、前記選択された作業前点検項目の情報を遠隔サーバ１３０から、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信するようになっている。つまり、遠隔サーバ１３０から、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に向けて返信される情報には、この「作業前点検項目の情報」が含まれることになる。この「作業前点検項目の情報」は、前記「作業計画」に併せて遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信される。 Then, the remote server 130 returns the information on the selected pre-operation inspection item from the remote server 130 to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 by the operations of the control unit 132 and the communication unit 131. ing. That is, the information returned from the remote server 130 toward the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the mobile terminal 180 includes this “information on inspection items before work”. This “information on inspection items before work” is returned to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 together with the “work plan”.
　このようにして作業前点検項目の情報が遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信されるため、作業開始前に、対象とする農業機械１１０に固有の稼動履歴および農業機械１１０の種類に応じた作業前点検項目を作業者に認識させることができ、現在の農業機械１１０の状態に応じた適切な作業前点検を効率良く行うことができる。また、メンテナンス済みの項目は、作業前点検項目の情報として返信されることがないため、必要のない作業前点検を作業者に行わせることがなくなり、作業前点検を効率良く行うことができる。 Thus, since the information of the pre-work inspection item is returned to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal device 180, the operation history specific to the target agricultural machine 110 and the type of the agricultural machine 110 are set before starting the work. It is possible to make the operator recognize the corresponding pre-operation inspection item, and it is possible to efficiently perform an appropriate pre-operation inspection according to the current state of the agricultural machine 110. In addition, since the items that have been maintained are not returned as information on the pre-operation inspection items, unnecessary pre-operation inspection is not performed by the operator, and the pre-operation inspection can be efficiently performed.
　（作業目標値登録部）
　作業目標値登録部１５７は、作業計画毎の作業目標値が予め登録されている。例えば、作業目標値登録部１５７には、作業計画毎に、また、圃場毎に、作業時間、収穫量、農業機械１１０の燃料消費量といった作業目標値が予め登録されている。これら作業目標値は、圃場の所有者が固定端末機１６０や携帯端末機１７０を操作することにより任意の値として入力が可能である。 (Work target value register)
In the work target value registration unit 157, work target values for each work plan are registered in advance. For example, in the work target value registration unit 157, work target values such as work time, harvest amount, and fuel consumption of the agricultural machine 110 are registered in advance for each work plan and for each farm field. These work target values can be input as arbitrary values when the owner of the field operates the fixed terminal 160 or the portable terminal 170.
　（作業目標値選択部）
　作業目標値選択部１４６は、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０から日時情報および作業領域に関連する位置情報を受信した際に作業計画選択部１４２によって選択された作業計画に対応する作業目標値を作業目標値登録部１５７から選択する。 (Work target value selector)
The work target value selection unit 146 receives the date information and the position information related to the work area from the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180, and the work target corresponding to the work plan selected by the work plan selection unit 142. A value is selected from the work target value registration unit 157.
　そして、遠隔サーバ１３０は、制御部１３２および通信部１３１の動作によって、前記選択された作業目標値を遠隔サーバ１３０から、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信するようになっている。つまり、遠隔サーバ１３０から、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に向けて返信される情報には、この「作業目標値の情報」が含まれることになる。この「作業目標値の情報」は、前記「作業計画」に併せて遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０に返信される。 Then, the remote server 130 returns the selected work target value from the remote server 130 to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 by the operation of the control unit 132 and the communication unit 131. That is, the information returned from the remote server 130 toward the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 includes this “work target value information”. This “work target value information” is returned to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180 together with the “work plan”.
　（作業計画情報の返信動作）
　次に、遠隔サーバ１３０において実行される作業計画情報の返信動作（遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０への作業計画情報の返信動作）について図７のフローチャートに沿って説明する。この図７に示したフローチャートの動作は、遠隔サーバ１３０に備えられた制御部１３２において実行される。 (Reply operation of work plan information)
Next, the work plan information return operation (the work plan information return operation to the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal 180) executed in the remote server 130 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The operation of the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is executed by the control unit 132 provided in the remote server 130.
　先ず、制御部１３２は、遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０から各種情報を受信したか否かを判定する（ステップＳａ１）。例えば、アクセスポイントを介さない図１に示す通信構成の場合には、制御部１３２は、遠隔監視端末装置２００からの日時情報、位置情報、農業機械１１０の識別情報、農業機械１１０の稼動情報、農業機械１１０のメンテナンス情報等を受信したか否かを判定する。一方、アクセスポイントを介した図２に示す通信構成の場合には、制御部１３２は、携帯端末機１８０からの日時情報および位置情報を受信したか否かを判定する。なお、農業機械１１０の起動スイッチＳＷがＯＮされており且つ携帯端末機１８０と遠隔監視端末装置２００との間での通信（ＩＥＥＥ８０２．１１規格の無線ＬＡＮ通信等）が可能な状況である場合には、遠隔サーバ１３０が携帯端末機１８０から受信する情報において、前記日時情報および位置情報に加えて、農業機械１１０の識別情報、農業機械１１０の稼動情報、農業機械１１０のメンテナンス情報等も含まれることになる。 First, the control unit 132 determines whether various types of information have been received from the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the mobile terminal 180 (step Sa1). For example, in the case of the communication configuration illustrated in FIG. 1 without using an access point, the control unit 132 includes date and time information, position information, identification information of the agricultural machine 110, operation information of the agricultural machine 110 from the remote monitoring terminal device 200, It is determined whether maintenance information or the like of the agricultural machine 110 has been received. On the other hand, in the case of the communication configuration illustrated in FIG. 2 via the access point, the control unit 132 determines whether date / time information and position information from the mobile terminal 180 has been received. Note that when the start switch SW of the agricultural machine 110 is turned on and communication (such as IEEE802.11 standard wireless LAN communication) is possible between the portable terminal 180 and the remote monitoring terminal device 200. In the information received by the remote server 130 from the portable terminal 180, in addition to the date and time information and position information, identification information of the agricultural machine 110, operation information of the agricultural machine 110, maintenance information of the agricultural machine 110, and the like are included. It will be.
　制御部１３２は、各種情報を未だ受信していない場合には（ステップＳａ１：Ｎｏ）、そのまま作業計画情報の返信動作を終了してリターンする。一方、制御部１３２は、各種情報を受信した場合には（ステップＳａ１：Ｙｅｓ）、受信した位置情報に基づいて作業領域（圃場）を特定する（ステップＳａ２）。この作業領域の特定は、作業領域特定部１４１において行われる。 If the control unit 132 has not received various information yet (step Sa1: No), the control unit 132 ends the work plan information return operation and returns. On the other hand, when various types of information are received (step Sa1: Yes), the control unit 132 specifies a work area (a field) based on the received position information (step Sa2). The work area is specified by the work area specifying unit 141.
　制御部１３２は、作業領域を特定した後、この作業領域に対応する作業計画を選択する（ステップＳａ３）。この作業計画の選択は、作業計画選択部１４２が、作業計画登録部１５１に登録されている作業計画の中から選択することにより行われる。この場合、前記特定された作業領域が一つである場合には、作業計画登録部１５１に登録されている作業計画の中から１つの作業計画が選択されることになる。また、前記特定された作業領域が複数である場合には、作業計画登録部１５１に登録されている作業計画の中から複数の作業計画が選択されることになる。例えば、農業機械１１０が、互いに隣り合う圃場の中間位置にあり、前記位置情報からは１つの圃場に特定されない場合には、これら隣り合う圃場の位置情報が遠隔サーバ１３０に送信されることになるので、作業領域特定部１４１によって特定される作業領域が複数となり、これに伴って作業計画選択部１４２で選択される作業領域も複数となる。また、携帯端末機１８０から送信された位置情報が複数の圃場を指定している場合にも、作業領域特定部１４１によって特定される作業領域が複数となり、これに伴って作業計画選択部１４２で選択される作業領域も複数となる。 After specifying the work area, the control unit 132 selects a work plan corresponding to this work area (step Sa3). The work plan is selected by the work plan selection unit 142 selecting from the work plans registered in the work plan registration unit 151. In this case, when the specified work area is one, one work plan is selected from the work plans registered in the work plan registration unit 151. When there are a plurality of the specified work areas, a plurality of work plans are selected from the work plans registered in the work plan registration unit 151. For example, when the agricultural machine 110 is at an intermediate position between adjacent fields and is not specified as one field from the position information, the position information of these adjacent fields is transmitted to the remote server 130. Therefore, a plurality of work areas are specified by the work area specifying unit 141, and accordingly, a plurality of work areas are selected by the work plan selection unit 142. In addition, even when the position information transmitted from the mobile terminal 180 designates a plurality of fields, there are a plurality of work areas specified by the work area specifying unit 141, and accordingly, the work plan selecting unit 142 A plurality of work areas are selected.
　その後、制御部１３２は、前記選択された作業計画が既に携帯端末機１８０または遠隔監視端末装置２００に返信済みのものであるか否かを判定する（ステップＳａ４）。これは、返信情報記憶部１５２に同一の作業計画が記憶されているか否かを判定することにより行われる。 Thereafter, the control unit 132 determines whether or not the selected work plan has already been returned to the mobile terminal 180 or the remote monitoring terminal device 200 (step Sa4). This is performed by determining whether or not the same work plan is stored in the reply information storage unit 152.
　制御部１３２は、選択された作業計画が返信済みのものであった場合には（ステップＳａ４：Ｙｅｓ）、携帯端末機１８０または遠隔監視端末装置２００に作業計画の情報を返信することなく作業計画情報の返信動作を終了してリターンする。 When the selected work plan has been returned (step Sa4: Yes), the control unit 132 returns the work plan to the portable terminal 180 or the remote monitoring terminal device 200 without returning the work plan information. Ends the information return operation and returns.
　制御部１３２は、選択された作業計画が返信情報記憶部１５２に記憶されたものではない場合には（ステップＳａ４：Ｎｏ）、作業領域の履歴情報を選択する（ステップＳａ５）。これは、履歴情報選択部１４３が、作業領域履歴情報記憶部１５３に記憶されている作業領域履歴情報（イベント発報情報から得られた圃場の特徴を提示する情報）を選択することにより行われる。 If the selected work plan is not stored in the reply information storage unit 152 (step Sa4: No), the control unit 132 selects the history information of the work area (step Sa5). This is performed by the history information selection unit 143 selecting the work area history information (information presenting the characteristics of the field obtained from the event report information) stored in the work area history information storage unit 153. .
　また、制御部１３２は、作業前点検項目の選択を行う（ステップＳａ６）。この作業前点検項目の選択動作について、図８のフローチャート（作業計画情報の返信動作のサブルーチン）に沿って説明する。先ず、制御部１３２は、受信した農業機械１１０の履歴情報から、対応する農業機械１１０の稼動履歴および農業機械１１０の種類を特定する（ステップＳｂ１）。次に、制御部１３２は、これらの情報から作業前点検項目を選択する（ステップＳｂ２）。 Further, the control unit 132 selects pre-operation inspection items (step Sa6). This pre-work inspection item selection operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 8 (work plan information return operation subroutine). First, the control unit 132 specifies the operation history of the corresponding agricultural machine 110 and the type of the agricultural machine 110 from the received history information of the agricultural machine 110 (step Sb1). Next, the control part 132 selects the inspection item before work from these information (step Sb2).
　そして、制御部１３２は、選択された作業前点検項目の中に、メンテナンス履歴記憶部１５６に記憶されているメンテナンス履歴に対応する項目が存在するか否かを判定する（ステップＳｂ３）。制御部１３２は、このメンテナンス履歴に対応する項目が存在していない場合には（ステップＳｂ３：Ｎｏ）、前記選択された作業前点検項目を、携帯端末機１８０または遠隔監視端末装置２００に返信すべき作業前点検項目として特定する。 And the control part 132 determines whether the item corresponding to the maintenance history memorize | stored in the maintenance history memory | storage part 156 exists in the selected pre-operation inspection item (step Sb3). If there is no item corresponding to the maintenance history (step Sb3: No), the control unit 132 returns the selected pre-operation inspection item to the portable terminal 180 or the remote monitoring terminal device 200. Identified as a pre-operation inspection item.
　一方、制御部１３２は、メンテナンス履歴に対応する項目が存在している場合には（ステップＳｂ３：Ｙｅｓ）、前記選択された作業前点検項目から、このメンテナンス履歴に対応する項目を除外し、この項目が除外された後の作業前点検項目を、携帯端末機１８０または遠隔監視端末装置２００に返信すべき作業前点検項目として特定する（ステップＳｂ４）。 On the other hand, when there is an item corresponding to the maintenance history (step Sb3: Yes), the control unit 132 excludes the item corresponding to the maintenance history from the selected pre-operation inspection item, The pre-operation inspection item after the item is excluded is specified as the pre-operation inspection item to be returned to the mobile terminal 180 or the remote monitoring terminal device 200 (step Sb4).
　図７に示すフローチャートに戻って、このようにして作業前点検項目が選択された後（図７のＳａ６）、制御部１３２は、選択された作業計画の作業目標値を選択する（ステップＳａ７）。これは、作業目標値選択部１４６が、前記選択された作業計画に対応する作業目標値を作業目標値登録部１５７から選択することにより行われる。 Returning to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, after the pre-work inspection item is selected in this way (Sa6 in FIG. 7), the control unit 132 selects the work target value of the selected work plan (step Sa7). . This is performed by the work target value selection unit 146 selecting a work target value corresponding to the selected work plan from the work target value registration unit 157.
　以上のようにして、制御部１３２は、作業計画、作業領域の履歴、作業前点検項目および作業目標値をそれぞれ選択し、これらの情報を、前記日時情報および位置情報を発信した端末（携帯端末機１８０または遠隔監視端末装置２００）に返信する（ステップＳａ８）。 As described above, the control unit 132 selects a work plan, a work area history, a pre-work inspection item, and a work target value, and uses these information as a terminal (portable terminal) that has transmitted the date information and position information. Machine 180 or remote monitoring terminal device 200) (step Sa8).
　以上説明したように、本実施形態では、携帯端末機１８０または遠隔監視端末装置２００と遠隔サーバ１３０との間で双方向の情報伝達が行われることにより、作業者は、自己の担当する圃場を対象とした作業計画を、携帯端末機１８０または遠隔監視端末装置２００を利用して確認することができる。つまり、作業者が作業計画の情報を受け取る場所は、遠隔サーバ１３０から離れた場所（端末の場所）となり、例えば、作業計画の情報を作業領域の現場等で受け取ることができる。このため、「作業者が、プリントアウトされた作業計画書を受け取った後に圃場に向かう」といった従来技術において必要であった動作は必要なくなる。その結果、作業計画の情報の取得が容易になり、遠隔監視システム１００の利便性の向上を実現させることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, bidirectional information transmission is performed between the mobile terminal 180 or the remote monitoring terminal device 200 and the remote server 130, so that the worker can select the field he / she is responsible for. The target work plan can be confirmed using the portable terminal 180 or the remote monitoring terminal device 200. That is, the place where the worker receives the work plan information is a place away from the remote server 130 (the place of the terminal). For example, the work plan information can be received at the work area site. For this reason, the operation | movement required in the prior art "an operator goes to a farm field after receiving the printed work plan" becomes unnecessary. As a result, acquisition of work plan information is facilitated, and the convenience of the remote monitoring system 100 can be improved.
　［作業実績情報作成部］
　次に、農作業の作業実績情報を作成する作業実績情報作成部１３６について説明する。作業実績情報作成部１３６は、農業機械１１０から取得した稼動情報や作業者情報（作業者が遠隔監視端末装置２００または携帯端末機１８０から入力する作業者の識別情報（例えば作業者のＩＤ等））を利用して、農作業の作業実績をグラフ等に表示してユーザやディーラ等の利用者に利用させるものである。また、遠隔サーバ１３０に備えられた表示部１３３によって農作業の作業実績を表示するようにしてもよい。 [Work result information creation department]
Next, the work result information creation unit 136 that creates work result information of farm work will be described. The work result information creation unit 136 is the operation information and worker information acquired from the agricultural machine 110 (the worker identification information (for example, worker ID) input by the worker from the remote monitoring terminal device 200 or the portable terminal device 180). ) Is used to display the farm work results on a graph or the like and make them available to users such as users and dealers. Moreover, you may make it display the work performance of farm work by the display part 133 with which the remote server 130 was equipped.
　作業実績情報作成部１３６の機能には、農業機械１１０の稼動情報から、作業領域別の作業実績情報、作業別の作業実績情報を作成する機能、および、作業者情報並びに農業機械１１０の稼動情報から、作業者別の作業実績情報を作成する機能を含んでいる。 The function of the work result information creating unit 136 includes a function for creating work result information for each work area and work result information for each work from the operation information of the agricultural machine 110, and worker information and operation information of the agricultural machine 110. From the above, a function for creating work performance information for each worker is included.

　＜別の実施の形態＞
　ところで、作業機から所定の稼動情報を受信する遠隔サーバは、従来から知られている（例えば特開２０１３－１１７８５３号公報参照）。 <Another embodiment>
By the way, a remote server that receives predetermined operation information from a work machine is conventionally known (see, for example, JP-A-2013-117853).
　一方、特許第４０５８５４４号公報は、圃場毎の気象予測等に基づいて作業内容を決定するシステムを提案している。詳しくは、特許第４０５８５４４号公報は、圃場毎の気象の予測、圃場毎の作物の成長状態の予測、圃場の土壌に関する情報、および各圃場にて行われた作業の履歴から所定の圃場にて行うべき作業の案を決定する作業決定支援装置を開示している。 On the other hand, Japanese Patent No. 4058544 proposes a system for determining work contents based on weather prediction for each field.

　メッセージ生成部Ｐ２５は、抽出した作業領域を含む地図情報の地域に対応する気象情報が、抽出した生育管理モデルＭＯの気象情報に対してずれがある場合にメッセージＭＥを生成する。具体的には、メッセージ生成部Ｐ２５は、気象情報の平均気温が生育管理モデルＭＯの平均気温βよりも高い、または、低い場合、或いは／さらに、気象情報の日照量が生育管理モデルＭＯの日照量よりも多い、または、少ない場合、その対策を講ずる旨のメッセージＭＥ（この例ではメッセージＭＥ１，ＭＥ３，ＭＥ４）を作成する。また、メッセージ生成部Ｐ２５は、気象情報の平均気温が所定温度（この例では２６℃～２７℃）を超えると、その弊害を知らせるメッセージＭＥ（この例ではメッセージＭＥ２）を生成する。 The message generation unit P25 generates a message ME when the weather information corresponding to the map information area including the extracted work area is different from the extracted weather information of the growth management model MO. Specifically, the message generation unit P25 determines that the average temperature of the weather information is higher or lower than the average temperature β of the growth management model MO, or / or the sunshine amount of the weather information is the sunshine of the growth management model MO. If the amount is larger or smaller than the amount, a message ME (messages ME1, ME3, ME4 in this example) is created to take the countermeasure. Further, when the average temperature of the weather information exceeds a predetermined temperature (26 ° C. to 27 ° C. in this example), the message generation unit P25 generates a message ME (message ME2 in this example) notifying the adverse effect.
　ここで、メッセージＭＥとしては、図２９の例に示すように、メッセージのデータそのものであってもよいし、メッセージのデータの情報量を考慮して、メッセージのデータを参照するための所在を示した情報（所謂ハイパーリンク情報、具体的にはＵＲＬ：Uniform Resource Locator、ユニフォームリソースロケータ）であってもよい。なお、メッセージＭＥが、例えば、ＵＲＬである場合、ＵＲＬをクリックすることで、リンク先のウェブページが開き、開いたウェブページにおいて、メッセージ内容が表示される。 Here, as shown in the example of FIG. 29, the message ME may be the message data itself, or indicates the location for referring to the message data in consideration of the information amount of the message data. Information (so-called hyperlink information, specifically, URL: Uniform Resource Locator, uniform resource locator) may be used. If the message ME is a URL, for example, clicking the URL opens a linked web page, and the message content is displayed on the opened web page.
