[0027] FIG. 1 illustrates a trap monitoring-based disease control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates a trap monitoring-based disease control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a computer system for implementing a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0028] The aforementioned objectives of the present invention, as well as other objectives, advantages, and features, and the methods for achieving them, will become clear from the embodiments described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below but can be implemented in various different forms, and the following embodiments are provided merely to easily inform those skilled in the art of the purpose, structure, and effects of the invention, and the scope of the rights of the present invention is defined by the description in the claims.

[0030] Meanwhile, the terms used in this specification are for describing the embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. In this specification, the singular form includes the plural form unless specifically stated otherwise in the text. As used in this specification, "comprises" and / or "comprising" do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components, steps, actions, and / or elements to the mentioned components, steps, actions, and / or elements.

[0031] FIG. 1 illustrates a trap monitoring-based disease control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] A trap monitoring-based disinfection system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a trap device (100) that transmits information on the status of pest capture, and a disinfection control server (200) that performs disinfection scheduling and determines a disinfection process based on the information on the status of pest capture received from the trap device (100).

[0033] The trap device (100) is equipped with a sticky substance inside the housing to capture pests that have entered the housing, and is equipped with a camera that photographs the inside of the housing. The trap device (100) transmits at least one of the image or image analysis information obtained using the camera to the disease control server (200).

[0034] The disease control server (200) includes a trap monitoring module (210), a disease scheduling module (220), a disease area determination module (230), and a disease level determination module (240).

[0035] The trap monitoring module (210) monitors the pest capture situation by analyzing the video received from the trap device (100).

[0036] As another example, the trap device (100) analyzes images acquired using a camera to generate information on the pest capture situation and transmits this information to the pest control server (200), and the trap monitoring module (210) analyzes the information on the pest capture situation received from the trap device (100) to monitor the pest capture situation.

[0037] The disinfection scheduling module (220) receives monitoring information from the trap monitoring module (210) and performs disinfection scheduling including the disinfection cycle.

[0038] The pest control scheduling module (220) performs adjustments to the preset pest control schedule when the number of pests captured as a result of monitoring increases or decreases beyond a preset number. For example, if the number of pests captured in a single trap device exceeds the standard of 10 pests / day, the preset pest control schedule (1 time / day) can be adjusted to 2 times / day.

[0039] The pest control scheduling module (220) performs adjustments to the pre-set pest control schedule when the number of pests captured as a result of monitoring increases beyond a preset number or the number of trap devices decreases beyond a certain range (e.g., based on 15 out of 30 total traps). For example, as described above, if the number of trap devices capturing more than 10 pests / day becomes 17, the pre-set pest control schedule (once / day) can be adjusted to twice / day.

[0040] The adjustment factor for pest control scheduling can be adjusted not only by simply doubling the number when the preset criteria are met, but also by comprehensively considering the fluctuation trend of the number of captured pests and the fluctuation trend of the number of trap devices where the number of captured pests exceeds the preset number.

[0041] The quarantine area determination module (230) adjusts quarantine setting information for quarantine devices placed in multiple areas according to the trap monitoring results.

[0042] For example, it is assumed that the range of pest control targets is areas A, B, C, and D. If the trap monitoring results within area A satisfy the aforementioned criteria (e.g., the trend of fluctuation in the number of pests captured by a specific trap device, or the case where a trap device that captures more than a preset number of pests exceeds a certain range among all trap devices), the pest control area determination module (230) adjusts the pest control setting information for the pest control devices within area A. For example, if a total of 10 pest control devices are deployed within area A, it is possible to control the 2 additional idle pest control devices to perform additional pest control in addition to the 5 devices that basically perform pest control (spray chemicals) among the existing 10 devices, as the aforementioned case is satisfied.

[0043] The disinfection area determination module (230) adjusts the disinfection setting information for the disinfection device by considering the characteristics of multiple areas according to the trap monitoring results. At this time, the characteristics of the multiple areas may be characteristics according to indoor / outdoor classification criteria or characteristics according to classification criteria related to disinfection importance. If the trap monitoring results in the standard area (assuming it is the aforementioned Area A) satisfy the aforementioned criteria (e.g., a trend of fluctuation in the number of pests captured by a specific trap device, or a case where the trap device capturing a number of pests exceeding a preset number exceeds a certain range among all trap devices), the disinfection area determination module (230) immediately adjusts the disinfection setting information for the outer areas B and C according to the indoor / outdoor classification criteria, thereby adjusting the disinfection setting information for the disinfection device placed in the area so as to eradicate pests invading from the external environment.

[0044] The disinfection area determination module (230) can continue trap monitoring according to a preset cycle from the time of adjusting disinfection setting information for outer areas B and C, and, if necessary, adjust disinfection setting information for disinfection devices placed in D area corresponding to the indoor area.

[0045] The disinfection level determination module (240) determines a disinfection level including at least one of the type of insecticide of the disinfection device, insecticide spraying distance, insecticide spraying angle, insecticide spraying cycle, insecticide spraying amount, and insecticide toxicity according to the trap monitoring results.

[0046] The disinfection level determination module (240) determines a disinfection level for each disinfection device placed in the aforementioned multiple areas, based on the trap monitoring results, including at least one of the insecticide type, insecticide spray distance, insecticide angle, insecticide spray cycle, insecticide spray amount, and insecticide toxicity.

[0047] For example, if the number of pests captured by traps in area A increases rapidly above a preset standard based on trap monitoring results compared to areas B, C, and D, the control is implemented such that the pest control devices placed in area A are sprayed by replacing low-toxicity insecticides with toxic insecticides or replacing toxic insecticides with highly toxic insecticides, or by adjusting the spraying area, distance, frequency, and amount based on the location of each trap device and the number of pests captured by that device.

[0048] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the pest control scheduling module (220), the pest control area determination module (230), or the pest control level determination module (240) may additionally receive environmental information in addition to the trap monitoring results received from the trap monitoring module (210), determine the time when pests are expected to increase using a pre-trained artificial intelligence model, and accordingly perform adjustments to the pest control cycle, pest control area, and pest control level.

[0049] For example, by comprehensively considering weather changes (temperature, humidity) and regional changes along the ship's route, it is possible to preemptively adjust the disinfection cycle to be shorter, adjust the disinfection area, or adjust the disinfection level even if the number of pests captured by the trap device (100) does not fluctuate above a preset standard.

[0050] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the disinfection area determination module (230) predicts the movement path according to the characteristics of each type of pest by considering the ship's navigation information (route, wave height, vibration, etc.) and determines the disinfection area by considering the expected movement path of the pest. The disinfection level determination module (240) predicts the movement path according to the ship's navigation information and the characteristics of each type of pest, determines the spraying cycle, area, angle, and toxicity level of the insecticide, and also adjusts the viscosity of the insecticide so that the insecticide can be accurately sprayed at a target point according to the ship's forward, backward, left, and right shaking.

[0052] FIG. 2 illustrates a trap monitoring-based disease control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] A trap monitoring-based pest control method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the step of receiving trap information from a trap device that captures pests (S210), the step of performing an analysis of the trap information and performing pest control scheduling based on the trap monitoring results (S220), and the step of determining a pest control area and a pest control level based on the trap monitoring results (S230).

[0054] Step S210 receives the trap information including pest capture information obtained using an internal camera placed in the trap device.

[0055] Step S220 performs the pest control scheduling by considering at least one of the fluctuation trend in the number of pests captured by the trap device as a result of the trap monitoring and the fluctuation trend in the ratio of trap devices where the number of pests captured by the trap exceeds a preset range.

[0056] Step S230 determines the quarantine area by considering the classification characteristic information of multiple areas subject to quarantine.

[0057] Step S230 determines a disease control level including at least one of the insecticide type, insecticide spray distance, insecticide spray angle, insecticide spray cycle, insecticide spray amount, and insecticide toxicity level.
