Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an operation management system for managing a work machine, the work machine having an operation device for working in a field. Background Technology

[0002] As an example of the operation management system described above, an operation management system as described in Patent Document 1 is known. In this operation management system, a fertilizing machine (referred to as a "tractor" in Patent Document 1) performs fertilization operations. Furthermore, the continuous operation time is calculated based on the amount of fertilizer consumed.

[0003] Here, the appropriate amount of fertilizer varies depending on the field. Furthermore, when the operating machine is a rice transplanter, the appropriate plant spacing also varies depending on the field. Therefore, it is possible to consider having the operator record information such as the amount of fertilizer and plant spacing in advance for each field within the operation management system described in Patent Document 1.

[0004] Furthermore, when the operator begins work in the field, based on the recorded information, he sets changeable values ​​related to the working device, thereby setting the working device to an appropriate state.

[0005] However, one can imagine the following scenario: due to the operator misinterpreting the correspondence between the field and the recorded information, the operating equipment is set to an incorrect state. When operating under these incorrect conditions, it becomes necessary to redo the operation. As a result, work efficiency decreases.

[0011] Solution for solving the problem

[0012] The present invention is characterized by a work management system for managing work machines equipped with work devices for working in fields. The work management system includes an information storage unit that stores identification information for identifying fields and work information related to the work machine's operation in the fields. The information storage unit stores multiple pieces of identification information corresponding to multiple fields and multiple pieces of work information, each piece of work information corresponding to a specific piece of identification information. The work management system further includes: a position acquisition unit for acquiring the position of the work machine; and a boundary position storage unit for storing information representing multiple fields. The field selection unit is configured to select a field based on the position of the work machine obtained by the position acquisition unit and the boundary position information stored in the boundary position storage unit; a determination unit determines the identification information corresponding to the selected field selected by the field selection unit; and a readout unit reads out the operation information corresponding to the identification information determined by the determination unit. The field selection unit is configured to select a field when the distance between the position of the work machine and the boundary of the field is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, while the work machine is located inside the field.

[0013] This invention reliably reads the operation information corresponding to the field the machine enters. Therefore, it easily avoids situations where the operating device is set to an erroneous state.

[0014] Therefore, this invention enables the implementation of a work management system that easily avoids deterioration in work efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, preferably, the present invention includes a display unit capable of displaying multiple fields surrounding the work machine based on the position of the work machine obtained by the position acquisition unit.

[0016] According to this structure, the operator can confirm the fields surrounding the machine via the display unit while directing the machine to the designated field for operation. This easily prevents the machine from accidentally entering a field different from the intended work area.

[0017] Furthermore, preferably, the present invention includes a selection notification unit that, when a field is selected by the field selection unit, sends a signal to a portable communication terminal to notify that a field has been selected.

[0018] According to this structure, the owner of the portable communication terminal can reliably know the selected field. Therefore, the owner of the portable communication terminal can easily begin the operation of the auxiliary work machine at the appropriate time.

[0019] Furthermore, preferably, in this invention, the work machine includes: a history generation unit that generates history information representing the work machine's work history in the field; and a history sending unit that sends the history information generated by the history generation unit to a management server located outside the work machine.

Therefore, compared to a structure that sends history information only after all operations in a field are completed, it is easier to track the progress of operations in a field.

[0027] Furthermore, preferably, in this invention, the history sending unit sends the history information to the management server whenever all operations in a field are completed.

[0040] Furthermore, preferably, in this invention, the history sending unit sends the history information to the management server whenever the machine travels a specified distance during operation.

[0041] According to this structure, the operational performance at each specified distance can be confirmed by verifying the history information obtained from the management server. Furthermore, it is possible to determine whether the operational performance at each specified distance is uniform, thus ensuring that the work was carried out equally across the field.

[0042] Furthermore, preferably, in this invention, the history sending unit sends the history information to the management server whenever the work machine performs a prescribed action during the operation.

[0043] According to this structure, when multiple prescribed actions are performed in a field, the history information is sent multiple times during the operation in that field.

[0119] The left and right working pedals 24 and the left and right extension working pedals 25 are both set at a position higher than the driver's pedals 21.

[0120] In addition, left and right pre-planted seedling storage devices 26 are provided at the front of the rice transplanter 1. Each of the left and right pre-planted seedling storage devices 26 has three pre-planted seedling platforms 27. The three pre-planted seedling platforms 27 are configured to switch between an extended state where they are arranged in a row in the front-back direction of the machine body and a folded state where they overlap vertically. It should be noted that... Figure 1 In the middle, the three prepared seedling platforms 27 are in a folded state.

[0121] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the left and right seedling storage devices 26 are supported by left and right first support frames 28. In addition, a second support frame 29 is provided across the left and right first support frames 28.

[0122] Furthermore, the satellite positioning module 30 and the direct communication unit 31 are supported on the second support frame 29.

[0123] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second support frame 29 is connected to the third support frame 32. Furthermore, the third support frame 32 supports the terminal device 4. The operator can operate the terminal device 4 while seated in the driver's seat 17.

[0124] [Structure of the Job Management System]

[0125] like Figure 3 As shown, the rice transplanter 1 is equipped with a control unit 6. Furthermore, the rice transplanter 1 is managed by the operation management system 2.

[0126] The job management system 2 includes a management server 7, a management terminal 91, and a portable communication terminal 92. Furthermore, a terminal device 4 and a control unit 6 are included in the job management system 2.

[0127] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the terminal device 4 includes an information input unit 41, an information output unit 42, a readout unit 43, an accidental entry determination unit 44, an accidental entry notification unit 45, a display control device 46, a setting notification unit 47, a field selection unit 48, a selection input unit 49, a confirmation unit 50, a sequence setting unit 51, a sequence notification unit 52, a change input unit 53, a sequence change unit 54, a target setting unit 55, a route guidance unit 56, and a touch panel 8 (equivalent to the "display unit" of the present invention).

[0128] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control unit 6 includes a position acquisition unit 61, an automatic setting unit 62, a setting input unit 63, a history generation unit 64, and a history sending unit 65.

[0129] In addition, the management server 7 has an information storage unit 71, a job information sending unit 72, a map storage unit 73 (equivalent to the "boundary location storage unit" of the present invention), a selection notification unit 74, and a history storage unit 75.

[0130] [Structure related to the information storage department and map storage department]

[0131] The information storage unit 71 stores the field name (equivalent to the "identification information" of this invention) and operation information. The field can be identified based on its name. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operation information is information related to the operation of the rice transplanter 1 in the field.

[0132] Figure 5 The information stored in the information storage unit 71 is displayed. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the information storage unit 71 stores multiple field names corresponding to multiple fields. In addition, the information storage unit 71 stores multiple work information.

[0133] In this embodiment, the operational information includes fertilizer application rate, plant spacing, planting depth, number of seedling patches, and replanting location. Furthermore, fertilizer application rate, plant spacing, and planting depth are all machine-specific information. Machine-specific information is used to operate the rice transplanter 1 for the operation.

[0134] It should be noted that, although in Figure 5 Although omitted in the text, the operation information still includes information indicating the travel path in the field. This information indicating the travel path in the field is for the use of the work machine.

[0135] In addition, the number of seedling patches and the location of replanting are both auxiliary information. This auxiliary information is used to assist the operation of the rice transplanter 1. Furthermore, the number of seedling patches refers to the number of pad-shaped seedling patches.

[0136] Furthermore, each task information corresponds to a specific field name.

[0137] For example, such as Figure 5As shown, the information storage unit 71 stores the field names A1, A2, A3, and A4. In addition, the information storage unit 71 stores the fertilizer application amounts b1, b2, b3, and b4.

[0138] Furthermore, fertilizer application amount b1 corresponds to field name A1. Additionally, fertilizer application amount b2 corresponds to field name A2. Furthermore, fertilizer application amount b3 corresponds to field name A3. Furthermore, fertilizer application amount b4 corresponds to field name A4.

[0139] In this embodiment, the operation information corresponding to each field is predetermined by the operator and stored in the information storage unit 71. At this time, the operator determines the operation information in a way that increases the harvest volume of crops in each field, ensures good crop quality, and improves operation efficiency.

[0140] However, the present invention is not limited thereto. It is also possible to obtain the operation information corresponding to each field from a database server or the like outside the operation management system 2 and store it in the information storage unit 71.

[0141] Here, as Figure 3 As shown, the rice transplanter 1 is configured to send and receive various information between the rice transplanter 1 and the management server 7 via the direct communication unit 31.

[0142] In addition, map storage unit 73 stores map information. The map information includes the location and name of each field. Furthermore, the map information includes boundary location information, which indicates the boundary locations of multiple fields.

[0143] Thus, the map storage unit 73 stores boundary location information, which serves as information representing the boundary locations of multiple fields.

[0144] Furthermore, the map storage unit 73 sends the map information to the information input unit 41 via the direct communication unit 31. In addition, the map storage unit 73 sends the map information to the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92.

[0145] [Structure related to the location acquisition unit]

[0146] The satellite positioning module 30 receives GPS signals from artificial satellites used for GPS (Global Positioning System). Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the satellite positioning module 30 sends the positioning data representing the location of the rice transplanter 1 to the location acquisition unit 61 based on the received GPS signal.

[0147] The location acquisition unit 61 calculates the position coordinates of the rice transplanter 1 over time based on the positioning data output by the satellite positioning module 30. Thus, the location acquisition unit 61 acquires the position of the rice transplanter 1. In other words, the location acquisition unit 61 acquires the position of the vehicle itself.

[0148] It should be noted that in this embodiment, "the position of this vehicle" refers to the position of the rice transplanter 1.

[0149] like Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle's location, acquired by the location acquisition unit 61, is sent to the information input unit 41 and the history generation unit 64 over time.

[0150] [Structures related to field selection based on selection operation input]

[0151] As described above, the information input unit 41 receives map information and the vehicle's location. Furthermore, as... Figure 4 As shown, the information input unit 41 sends the received map information to the wrong entry determination unit 44, the display control device 46, the field selection unit 48, the determination unit 50, and the route guidance unit 56.

[0152] In addition, the information input unit 41 sends the received vehicle location to the wrong entry determination unit 44, the display control device 46, the field selection unit 48, and the route guidance unit 56.

[0153] The touch panel 8 is configured to display various information. The content displayed on the touch panel 8 is controlled by the display control device 46.

[0154] Furthermore, the touch panel 8 can be operated by the user. The touch panel 8 sends operation signals corresponding to the touch operation to the information output unit 42, the setting notification unit 47, the selection input unit 49, and the change input unit 53.

[0155] Here, the display control device 46 can display multiple fields as candidate fields on the touch panel 8 based on map information received from the information input unit 41. That is, the touch panel 8 can display multiple fields as candidate fields. Figure 7 and Figure 16 The image shows multiple fields as candidates.

[0156] Furthermore, the display control device 46 can display multiple fields surrounding the rice transplanter 1 on the touch panel 8 based on map information received from the information input unit 41 and the vehicle's location. That is, as... Figure 7 As shown, the touch panel 8 can display multiple fields around the body of the rice transplanter 1 based on the vehicle's position obtained by the position acquisition unit 61.

[0157] Furthermore, the operator can select a field from multiple fields displayed on the touch panel 8. The selection operation is performed via touch operation on the touch panel 8.

[0158] At this time, an operation signal corresponding to the selection operation input is sent to the selection input unit 49. Thus, the selection input unit 49 receives the selection operation input. Furthermore, the signal corresponding to the selection operation input is sent from the selection input unit 49 to the determination unit 50.

[0159] The determination unit 50 determines the name of the field corresponding to the selected field based on the map information received from the information input unit 41 and the signal received from the selection input unit 49.

[0160] It should be noted that the selection of farmland in this embodiment refers to farmland selected through a selection operation input or the farmland selection unit 48. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the farmland selection unit 48 can also select farmland.

[0161] Then, the determination unit 50 sends the selected field information to the information output unit 42. It should be noted that the selected field information refers to the name of the field determined by the determination unit 50.

[0162] In addition, the determination unit 50 sends the map information received from the information input unit 41 to the sequence setting unit 51 and the target setting unit 55.

[0163] [Structures related to reading job information]

[0164] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the information output unit 42 sends the selected field information received from the determination unit 50 to the information storage unit 71 via the direct communication unit 31.

[0165] The information storage unit 71 sends the operation information corresponding to the field name represented by the received selected field information to the information input unit 41 via the direct communication unit 31. In addition, the information storage unit 71 also sends the operation information to the operation information sending unit 72.

[0166] Then, as Figure 4 As shown, the information input unit 41 sends the received job information to the readout unit 43.

[0167] In this way, the reading unit 43 reads out the operation information corresponding to the field name determined by the determining unit 50.

[0168] [Structure related to the automatic setting unit and setting input unit]

[0169] like Figure 4 As shown, the readout unit 43 sends the operation information received from the information input unit 41 to the information output unit 42, the display control device 46, and the setting notification unit 47.

[0170] Then, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the information output unit 42 sends the operation information received from the readout unit 43 to the automatic setting unit 62.

[0171] The automatic setting unit 62 automatically sets the variable values ​​related to the planting device 14 and the fertilizing device 15 based on the operation information received from the information output unit 42. That is, the automatic setting unit 62 performs automatic device settings based on the operation information read by the readout unit 43.

[0172] More specifically, the automatic setting unit 62 sets the spacing between plants and the planting depth of the planting device 14. In addition, the automatic setting unit 62 sets the amount of fertilizer applied by the fertilization device 15.

[0173] Here, when work information is received from the readout unit 43, before the automatic setting unit 62 performs automatic device setting, the display control device 46 displays on the touch panel 8. Figure 10 The license screen shown.

[0174] The touch panel 8 displays the request for permission from the automatic setting unit 62 to set the automatic device via a permission screen. More specifically, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the permission screen displays a message 84a that reads "Permission automatic device setting?". Additionally, the permission screen displays a "Yes" button 84b and a "No" button 84c.

[0175] When the "Yes" button 84b is touched on the permission screen, as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the operation signal corresponding to the touch operation is sent to the automatic setting unit 62 via the information output unit 42. Furthermore, the automatic setting unit 62 performs automatic device setting upon receiving the operation signal.

[0176] Furthermore, when the "No" button 84c is touched on the permission screen, such as Figure 4 As shown, the operation signal corresponding to the touch operation is sent to the setting notification unit 47.

[0177] When the setting notification unit 47 receives the operation signal, it sends a predetermined signal to the display control device 46 based on the operation information received from the self-reading unit 43. This signal is used to enable... Figure 11 The manual settings screen shown is displayed on the touch panel 8.

[0178] Furthermore, when the display control device 46 receives the signal from the setting notification unit 47, it displays the manual setting screen on the touch panel 8.

[0179] The touch panel 8 displays the input content for prompting setting operations via a manual setting screen. It should be noted that the setting operation input is used to set changeable values ​​related to the planting device 14 and the fertilization device 15.

[0180] More specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, the manual setting screen displays a message 85a stating "Please perform manual settings." Furthermore, the manual setting screen displays increase / decrease buttons 85b for increasing / decrease the setting value, the current setting value, and the recommended value for the fertilizer amount, plant spacing, and planting depth, respectively. It should be noted that the recommended value is displayed based on the work information read by the readout unit 43.

[0181] The manual setting screen is used to prompt the user to input the setting operation. That is, the setting notification unit 47 prompts the user to input the setting operation based on the operation information read by the reading unit 43.

[0182] Furthermore, the setting operation input is performed via touch operation of the increase / decrease buttons 85b. When setting operation input is performed, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the operation signal corresponding to the setting operation input is sent to the setting input unit 63 via the information output unit 42. Thus, the setting input unit 63 receives the setting operation input.

[0183] The setting input unit 63 sets changeable values ​​related to the planting device 14 and the fertilization device 15 based on the received setting operation input. More specifically, the setting input unit 63 sets the plant spacing and planting depth of the planting device 14. In addition, the setting input unit 63 sets the amount of fertilizer applied by the fertilization device 15.

[0184] That is, based on the touch operation of the increase / decrease button 85b, the set values ​​of the plant spacing and planting depth of the planting device 14 and the fertilizer application amount of the fertilization device 15 change. Furthermore, Figure 11 The current setting value displayed on the manual setting screen increases or decreases based on the touch operation of the increase / decrease button 85b.

[0185] It should be noted that it can also be configured to display during the automatic device setting process. Figure 11 The manual setting screen is shown. Furthermore, it can be configured to disable the setting operation input during automatic device setting. Furthermore, it can be configured to not display message 85a during automatic device setting. Alternatively, it can be configured to enable the setting operation input during automatic device setting.

[0186] This structure allows the operator to easily confirm the current settings during the setup of the automatic device.

[0187] [Structures related to the order of tasks]

[0188] By inputting the selection operation described above, multiple fields can be selected. When multiple fields are selected, the determination unit 50 determines the field name corresponding to each selected field.

[0189] Then, as Figure 4 As shown, the determination unit 50 sends the selected field information, representing the determined field names, to the sequence setting unit 51.

[0190] The sequence setting unit 51 sets the operation order of multiple selected fields based on the map information and each selected field information received from the determination unit 50. That is, the sequence setting unit 51 sets the operation order of multiple selected fields when multiple fields are selected through selection operation input.

[0191] Information indicating the set work sequence is sent to the sequence notification unit 52.

[0192] When the sequence notification unit 52 receives information indicating the set work sequence, it sends a specified signal to the display control device 46 based on that information. This signal is used to... Figure 8 The sequence notification screen shown is displayed on the touch panel 8.

[0193] Then, when the display control device 46 receives the signal from the sequence notification unit 52, it displays the sequence notification screen on the touch panel 8.

[0194] like Figure 8 As shown, the selected fields are highlighted in the sequence notification screen. Furthermore, the set operation sequence is indicated by arrows in the sequence notification screen.

[0195] The sequence notification screen is used to notify the set work sequence. That is, the sequence notification unit 52 notifies the work sequence set by the sequence setting unit 51.

[0196] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, the sequence change button 83a is displayed on the sequence notification screen. After touching the sequence change button 83a, the operator can touch multiple selected fields in any order to input a change operation. It should be noted that the change operation input is used to change the work sequence.

[0197] When a change operation is performed, such as Figure 4 As shown, the operation signal corresponding to the change operation input is sent to the change input unit 53. Therefore, the change input unit 53 receives the change operation input.

[0198] Then, the signal corresponding to the change operation input is sent from the change input unit 53 to the sequence change unit 54.

[0199] The sequence change unit 54 changes the work sequence based on the signal received from the change input unit 53. That is, the sequence change unit 54 changes the work sequence based on the change operation input. Furthermore, information indicating the changes to the work sequence made by the sequence change unit 54 is sent from the sequence change unit 54 to the sequence notification unit 52.

[0200] When the sequence notification unit 52 receives information indicating a change in the work sequence performed by the sequence change unit 54, it sends a predetermined signal to the display control device 46 based on that information. This signal is used to... Figure 9 The change notification screen shown is displayed on the touch panel 8.

[0201] Furthermore, when the display control device 46 receives the signal from the sequence notification unit 52, it displays a change notification screen on the touch panel 8.

[0202] like Figure 9 As shown, each selected field is highlighted on the change notification screen. Furthermore, the changed work order, modified by the sequence change unit 54, is indicated by arrows on the change notification screen. Additionally, a message 83b stating "Work order has been changed" is displayed on the change notification screen.

[0203] The change notification screen notifies the sequence change unit 54 of the changes to the work sequence. Specifically, the sequence notification unit 52 notifies the sequence change unit 54 of the changes to the work sequence.

[0204] [Structures related to route guidance]

[0205] like Figure 4 As shown, when a field is selected through the selection operation input described above, the determination unit 50 sends the selected field information to the target setting unit 55. The target setting unit 55 sets the target location Tp based on the map information and the selected field information received from the determination unit 50. That is, the target setting unit 55 sets the target location Tp based on the selection operation input.

[0206] Furthermore, the target setting unit 55 sends the target location information to the route guidance unit 56. It should be noted that the target location information refers to the location of the target location Tp.

[0207] The route guidance unit 56 calculates the guidance path Rt based on the map information received from the information input unit 41, the vehicle's current position, and the target location information received from the target setting unit 55. It should be noted that the guidance path Rt is the movement path obtained by connecting the current position of the rice transplanter 1 with the target location Tp.

[0208] Then, the route guidance unit 56 sends guidance information to the display control device 46. It should be noted that the guidance information is information representing the guidance path Rt.

[0209] like Figure 17 As shown, the display control device 46 displays the guidance path Rt on the touch panel 8 based on the guidance information received from the route guidance unit 56. This guides the rice transplanter 1 along the route up to the target location Tp.

[0210] That is, the route guidance unit 56 guides the rice transplanter 1 to the target location Tp based on the vehicle position obtained by the position acquisition unit 61 and the target location Tp set by the target setting unit 55.

[0211] [Structure related to notification of accidental entry]

[0212] like Figure 4 As shown, when a field is selected through the above-described selection operation input, the determination unit 50 sends the selected field information to the error entry determination unit 44.

[0213] The error entry determination unit 44 determines, over time, whether the rice transplanter 1 has entered a field other than the selected field based on map information received from the information input unit 41, the vehicle's location, and the selected field information received from the determination unit 50.

[0214] That is, the wrong entry determination unit 44 determines whether the rice transplanter 1 has entered a field other than the selected field based on the position of the rice transplanter 1 obtained by the position acquisition unit 61. Furthermore, the determination result of the wrong entry determination unit 44 is sent to the wrong entry notification unit 45 over time.

[0215] If the accidental entry determination unit 44 determines that the rice transplanter 1 has entered a field other than the selected field, the accidental entry notification unit 45 sends a prescribed signal to the display control device 46. Upon receiving the signal, the display control device 46 displays a warning message about the accidental entry on the touch panel 8.

[0216] That is, if the error entry determination unit 44 determines that the rice transplanter 1 has entered a field other than the selected field, the error entry notification unit 45 notifies the error entry.

[0217] [Structures related to the field selection department]

[0218] like Figure 4 As shown, the field selection unit 48 selects a field based on the boundary location information contained in the map information received from the information input unit 41 and the vehicle's position received from the information input unit 41. That is, the field selection unit 48 selects a field based on the vehicle's position obtained by the position acquisition unit 61 and the boundary location information stored in the map storage unit 73.

[0219] In detail, such as Figure 18 As shown, the field selection unit 48 determines whether the rice transplanter 1 is located inside the field over time. This determination is based on boundary position information and the vehicle's position.

[0220] If the rice transplanter 1 is determined to be located inside the field, the field selection unit 48 determines whether the distance between the vehicle's position and the boundary of the field is above a predetermined value. This determination is based on boundary position information and the vehicle's position.

[0221] Then, if it is determined that the distance between the vehicle's position and the boundary of the field is above a specified value, the field selection unit 48 selects the field.

[0222] That is, the field selection unit 48 is configured to select a field when the body of the rice transplanter 1 is located inside the field and the distance between the vehicle position and the boundary of the field is above a predetermined value.

[0223] It should be noted that, in Figure 18 In the image, arrows indicate the distance between the vehicle's location and the boundary of the field.

[0224] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, when a field is selected by the field selection unit 48, the boundary location information of the selected field is sent from the field selection unit 48 to the determination unit 50.

[0225] The determination unit 50 determines the name of the field corresponding to the selected field based on the boundary position information received from the field selection unit 48 and the map information received from the information input unit 41.

[0226] [Structure related to the display of job information]

[0227] As described above, the work information includes information indicating the driving path in the field. Furthermore, the display control device 46 can display the selected driving path in the field on the touch panel 8 based on the work information received from the self-reading unit 43. That is, as... Figure 12 As shown, the touch panel 8 can display the selected driving path in the field based on the operation information read by the readout unit 43.

[0228] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the job information sending unit 72 sends the job information received from the information storage unit 71 to the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92.

[0229] Here, as Figure 3As shown, when a field is selected through the above-described selection operation input, and when a field is selected by the field selection unit 48, the information output unit 42 sends the selected field information to the selection notification unit 74 via the direct communication unit 31.

[0230] Then, the selection notification unit 74 sends the received selected field information to the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92. Simultaneously, the selection notification unit 74 sends a specified signal to the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92. This signal is used to enable... Figure 12 The same screen is displayed on the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92.

[0231] Then, when the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92 receive the signal from the selection notification unit 74, they display the corresponding information based on the work information received from the work information transmission unit 72, the map information received from the map storage unit 73, and the selected field information received from the selection notification unit 74. Figure 12 The same screen is displayed.

[0232] Thus, the selected field is notified. That is, when a field is selected, the selection notification unit 74 sends a signal to the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92 to notify that a field has been selected.

[0233] In this way, when the field selection unit 48 selects a field, the selection notification unit 74 sends a signal to the portable communication terminal 92 to notify that a field has been selected.

[0234] [Structure related to resume information]

[0235] When rice transplanter 1 is working in the field, such as Figure 3 As shown, information indicating the operating status of the planting device 14 is sent to the history generation unit 64 over time. Similarly, information indicating the operating status of the fertilization device 15 is also sent to the history generation unit 64 over time.

[0236] The history generation unit 64 generates history information for the transplanting device 14 based on the vehicle's position received from the position acquisition unit 61 over time and information indicating the operating status of the transplanting device 14. It should be noted that the history information represents the operating history of the rice transplanter 1 in the field.

[0237] In this embodiment, the history information of the planting device 14 includes the location of the seedling planting site, the number of seedlings planted, the actual value of the plant spacing, and the actual value of the planting depth.

[0238] In addition, the history generation unit 64 generates history information of the fertilization device 15 based on the vehicle position obtained from the position acquisition unit 61 over time and information indicating the operating status of the fertilization device 15.

[0239] In this embodiment, the history information of the fertilization device 15 includes the location of the fertilization site and the actual amount of fertilizer applied.

[0240] The history information generated by the history generation unit 64 is sent to the history sending unit 65. The history sending unit 65 sends the history information received from the history generation unit 64 to the history storage unit 75 via the direct communication unit 31. It should be noted that the history sending unit 65 sends the history information to the history storage unit 75 every specified time period during the operation of the rice transplanter 1.

[0241] In this way, the history sending unit 65 sends the history information generated by the history generation unit 64 to the management server 7 located outside the rice transplanter 1. In addition, the history sending unit 65 sends the history information to the management server 7 every specified time period during the operation of the rice transplanter 1.

[0242] Furthermore, the resume information sent to the resume storage unit 75 is stored in the resume storage unit 75.

[0243] [Work processes using a job management system]

[0244] The following describes the workflow of using the job management system 2.

[0245] initial, Figure 6 The screen shown is displayed on touch panel 8. The screen displays a first button 81a, a second button 81b, and a third button 81c.

[0246] The first button 81a is displayed as "Select from around the machine". The second button 81b is displayed as "Select from map". The third button 81c is displayed as "Select based on entering the field".

[0247] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the job management system 2 is capable of performing three processes for selecting fields. More specifically, these three processes are: selecting fields from around the machine, selecting fields from a map, and selecting fields based on the location of the field.

[0248] Furthermore, the operator is able to Figure 6 Select the process to perform in the shown screen.

[0249] The following explanations will cover these three processes in the following order: the process for selecting fields from around the machine, the process for selecting fields from the map, and the process for selecting fields based on entering the field.

[0250] [Working procedures for selecting farmland around the machine]

[0251] The following describes the operational procedures for selecting fields around the machine.

[0252] exist Figure 6 In the shown screen, when the operator touches the first operation button 81a, the operation management system 2 begins the process of selecting fields from around the machine. In this process, firstly, as... Figure 7 As shown, multiple fields surrounding the body of the rice transplanter 1 are displayed on the touch panel 8 under the control of the display control device 46.

[0253] In this description, as a specific example, six areas of farmland are shown.

[0254] The land plots are named A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6. Hereinafter, these land plots will be referred to as Land A1, Land A2, Land A3, Land A4, Land A5, and Land A6, respectively.

[0255] In addition, Figure 7 In the image shown, circle 9 represents a circular area with a specified radius centered on rice transplanter 1. Furthermore, fields overlapping with the area represented by circle 9 are highlighted as candidate fields.

[0256] In this example, fields A1, A2, A3, and A4 overlap with the area indicated by circle 9. Therefore, the fields in these four areas are highlighted as candidates.

[0257] It should be noted that fields A5 and A6 do not overlap with the area indicated by circle 9. Therefore, fields A5 and A6 are not candidates. However, the invention is not limited to this; fields that overlap with the area indicated by circle 9 and fields that do not overlap with the area indicated by circle 9 are both candidates.

[0258] Furthermore, among fields A1, A2, A3, and A4, select the field that the operator has touched on touch panel 8. It should be noted that at this time, there can be one or more fields that have been touched.

[0259] In this example, it is assumed that the operator touches fields A1, A2, and A3 on touch panel 8. Accompanying this, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the operation signal corresponding to the selection operation input is sent to the selection input unit 49.

[0260] Furthermore, the determination unit 50 determines the name of the field corresponding to the selected field. The field names determined at this time are A1, A2, and A3.

[0261] Then, when the operator touches the operation... Figure 7 When the selection end button 82 is pressed, the process of selecting fields from around the machine ends. Furthermore, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, a sequence notification screen is displayed on the touch panel 8 under the control of the display control device 46.

[0262] In this example, the sequence setting unit 51 is set according to the sequence setting unit 51. Figure 7 The order in which multiple fields are selected is set by the sequence of touch operations shown in the screen. Furthermore, in this example, the operator is set to select fields A1, A2, and A3 in that order. Figure 7 Perform touch operations in the shown screen.

[0263] Therefore, in this example, the sequence setting unit 51 sets the operation sequence according to the order of field A1, field A2, and field A3. Furthermore, as... Figure 8 As shown, the sequence of operations is indicated by arrows in the sequence notification screen.

[0264] Next, in order to change the work sequence, the operator touches the sequence change button 83a and then touches it in the order of field A1, field A3, and field A2. Correspondingly, the sequence change unit 54 changes the work sequence to field A1, field A3, and field A2.

[0265] And, as Figure 9 As shown, a change notification screen is displayed on touch panel 8. The changed job sequence is indicated by arrows on the change notification screen. Additionally, a message 83b stating "Job sequence has changed" is displayed on the change notification screen.

[0266] Next, as Figure 10 As shown, a permission screen is displayed on touch panel 8. In this example, it is set to be an operation performed by touching the "No" button 84c on the permission screen. When the "No" button 84c is touched, as shown... Figure 11 As shown, the manual settings screen is displayed on touch panel 8.

[0267] In this example, fields A1, A2, and A3 are selected fields. Furthermore, field A1 is the first field in the work sequence among these three areas. Therefore, as... Figure 11 As shown, based on the work information corresponding to field A1 (which is the name of the field), the recommended value is displayed on the touch panel 8.

[0268] More specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fertilizer application rate, plant spacing, and planting depth corresponding to field A1 (which serves as the field name) are b1, c1, and d1, respectively. Therefore, the recommended values ​​for fertilizer application rate, plant spacing, and planting depth displayed on touch panel 8 at this time are b1, c1, and d1, respectively.

[0269] Furthermore, the operator through Figure 11 The user inputs settings by touching the increase / decrease button 85b. Then, when the user touches the end button 85c, a message is displayed on the touch panel 8. Figure 12 The image shown.

[0270] exist Figure 12 The image shown depicts field A1, location f1, and path g1. (The image likely shows a path to a field A1, location f1, and path g1.) Figure 5 As shown, location f1 is the replanting location corresponding to field A1 (which is also the field name). Furthermore, path g1 is the driving path corresponding to field A1 (which is also the field name).

[0271] It should be noted that the time point at which the treatment used to select fields from around the organism ends is the same as... Figure 12 The same screen is displayed on both the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92. This indicates that a field has been selected. The worker, referring to the screen displayed on the management terminal 91 or the portable communication terminal 92, places the seedlings for replenishment at location f1.

[0272] When displayed on touch panel 8 Figure 12 When the screen shown is displayed, the operator refers to the screen and begins to use the rice transplanter 1 to work on the field.

[0273] In this operation, the operator guides the rice transplanter 1 along path g1. Additionally, the operator replants seedlings near location f1 midway through the operation. Furthermore, during this operation, at predetermined intervals, history information is sent from history sending unit 65 to management server 7.

[0274] Furthermore, the work on field A1 ends when the journey along path g1 is completed.

[0275] It should be noted that, in Figure 10 In the permission screen shown, if the "Yes" button 84b is touched, the automatic setting unit 62 will set the automatic device. Therefore, the spacing between plants and the planting depth of the planting device 14 are set to c1 and d1, respectively. Furthermore, the fertilizer application rate of the fertilization device 15 is set to b1. In this case, [the following is omitted]. Figure 11 The manual settings screen is shown.

[0276] [Workflow when selecting fields from a map]

[0277] The following describes the workflow for selecting fields from a map.

[0278] exist Figure 6 In the shown screen, when the operator touches the second button 81b, the process of selecting fields from the map begins in the job management system 2. In this process, firstly, as... Figure 13 As shown, a national map is displayed on the touch panel 8 under the control of the display control device 46.

[0279] In this explanation, as a specific example, we will display a nationwide map of Japan. Furthermore, in Figure 13 In the shown image, when the operator performs a touch operation, the system calculates the response based on the location of the touch operation, such as... Figure 14 As shown, a map of the location is displayed on touch panel 8.

[0280] In this example, let's assume it's in Figure 13 In the displayed screen, the operator touches the locations representing the Tokai, Hokuriku, and Kinki regions. Thus, as... Figure 14 As shown, a map of the Tokai, Hokuriku, and Kinki regions is displayed on touch panel 8.

[0281] Furthermore, in Figure 14 In the shown image, when the operator performs a touch operation, the system calculates the response based on the location of the touch operation, such as... Figure 15 As shown, a map of the prefectures is displayed on the touch panel 8.

[0282] In this example, let's assume it's in Figure 14 In the image shown, the operator touches the location representing Osaka Prefecture. Thus, as... Figure 15 As shown, a map of Osaka Prefecture is displayed on touch panel 8.

[0283] Furthermore, in Figure 15 In the shown image, when the operator performs a touch operation, the system calculates the response based on the location of the touch operation, such as... Figure 16 As shown, a map of the region is displayed on touch panel 8. Within this map, multiple fields are displayed as candidate fields based on map information.

[0284] In this example, let's assume it's in Figure 16 The image shown depicts eleven areas of farmland. These farmlands are named A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, and A11. Furthermore, these farmlands are all candidate options.

[0285] In this example, we assume that the operator touches and operates a field named A1 on the touch panel 8. Hereinafter, this field will be referred to as field A1.

[0286] Along with this, such as Figure 4 As shown, the operation signal corresponding to the selection operation input is sent to the selection input unit 49. Furthermore, the determination unit 50 determines the name of the field corresponding to the selected field. The determined field name at this time is A1.

[0287] Thus, the process for selecting fields from the map ends.

[0288] Furthermore, the target setting unit 55 sets the target location Tp based on the selection operation input. Moreover, the route guidance unit 56 calculates the guidance path Rt. Thus, as... Figure 17 As shown, the target location Tp and the guide path Rt are displayed on the touch panel 8.

[0289] The operator follows the displayed guide path Rt to move the rice transplanter 1 to the target location Tp. If the rice transplanter 1 enters a field other than the selected field before reaching the target location Tp, a warning message indicating that the rice transplanter 1 has entered the wrong field will be displayed on the touch panel 8.

[0290] Furthermore, when rice transplanter 1 reaches the target location Tp, such as Figure 10 As shown, the license screen is displayed on touch panel 8.

[0291] The subsequent work process is the same as the process described above for selecting fields around the machine, so the explanation is omitted.

[0292] It should be noted that at the point in time when the processing for selecting fields from the map ends, and... Figure 12 The same screen is displayed on both the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92. This indicates that a field has been selected. The worker, referring to the screen displayed on the management terminal 91 or the portable communication terminal 92, places the seedlings for replenishment at location f1.

[0293] [Operational procedures for selecting fields based on access to the field]

[0294] The following describes the operational process for selecting fields based on access to the field.

[0295] exist Figure 6 In the shown screen, when the operator touches the third button 81c, the operation management system 2 begins the process of selecting a field based on the field being entered. Furthermore, the operator moves the rice transplanter 1 to any field.

[0296] In this explanation, as a specific example, we assume that the work is carried out in a field named A1. Hereinafter, this field will be referred to as field A1.

[0297] In order to carry out operations in field A1, such as Figure 18As shown, the operator moves the rice transplanter 1 to field A1. Furthermore, with the body of the rice transplanter 1 located inside field A1, when the distance between the position of the transplanter 1 and the boundary of field A1 is above a predetermined value, the field selection unit 48 selects field A1.

[0298] Along with this, the determination unit 50 determines the name of the field corresponding to the selected field. The field name determined at this time is A1.

[0299] Thus, the process of selecting fields based on entry into the field concludes. Furthermore, as... Figure 10 As shown, the license screen is displayed on touch panel 8.

[0300] The subsequent work process is the same as the process described above for selecting fields around the machine, so the explanation is omitted.

[0301] It should be noted that the end time of the treatment used to select fields based on entry into the fields is different from... Figure 12 The same screen is displayed on both the management terminal 91 and the portable communication terminal 92. This indicates that a field has been selected. The worker, referring to the screen displayed on the management terminal 91 or the portable communication terminal 92, places the seedlings for replenishment at location f1.

[0302] With the structure described above, the operation information corresponding to the (selected) field entered by the rice transplanter 1 can be reliably read. Therefore, it is easy to avoid situations where the transplanting device 14 and the fertilization device 15 are set to an incorrect state.

[0303] Therefore, the structure described above enables a work management system 2 that easily avoids deterioration in work efficiency.
