Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a drop information management device, an economic simulator, a flight system, a drop information management method, and a drop information management program. [Background technology]

[0002] Thinned wood and branches and leaves from forestry (hereafter referred to as forest residues) are sometimes left in the forest for various reasons, such as not being profitable. If forest residues are left, they will decay (decompose) due to the effects of rain, insects, and microorganisms, and the carbon contained in the forest residues will be released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. In response to this, efforts have been made in recent years to produce biochar, which is less likely to decay, from unused biomass such as forest residues using carbonization furnaces. The produced biochar can also be used as a soil conditioner, and may be spread on land and used for plowing. There are also transactions in which carbon credits are paid according to the amount of carbon that has been plowing into a specific piece of land.

[0003] When plowing in biochar, a technology (traceability) is required to accurately record the location and amount of plowing in. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of dropping an object carried by an aircraft and measuring the location information of the dropped object. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] The economic simulator disclosed herein is provided in the aforementioned drop information management device, and calculates a prediction of the amount of carbon credit to be dropped and the carbon credit conversion result based on input information including market information regarding carbon credits, land information on the land on which the carbonized material is dropped, and transported material information which is information regarding the carbonized material.

[0014] Below, an embodiment of the drop information management device, economic simulator, flight system, drop information management method, and drop information management program related to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a flight system and a drop information management device in some embodiments of the present disclosure. 1, the flight system 100 includes a first flying object 10, a controller (control device) 30, a dropping device control unit 40, and a dropping device 200. In the flight system 100, dropping information, which is information related to dropping of a transported object 90, is managed by a dropping information management device 110. The transported object 90 is, for example, biochar obtained by carbonizing unused biomass such as forest residues and waste-based biomass (food waste, agricultural residues, livestock manure, sewage sludge, etc.).

[0015] The first flying object 10 is connected to the dropping device 200 containing the transported object 90 via the first connecting member 50 (wire 51), generates lift to lift the dropping device 200 in the air, and moves the dropping device 200 lifted in the air in the horizontal direction HD. The first flying object 10 has rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14, a control unit 10a (see FIG. 5), a communication unit 10b (see FIG. 5), and drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f (see FIG. 5). The control unit 10a controls the rotation speed of the rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14, so that the first flying object 10 can move to any position in a three-dimensional space in any attitude. In this embodiment, the first aircraft 10 has four rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14 and four drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f, but the numbers of rotors and drive motors may be changed as appropriate.

[0016] The control unit 10a is a device that controls the rotation speed of the drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f in response to a control command that the communication unit 10b receives from the controller 30. The drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f are connected to the rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively, and rotate the rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14 at any rotation speed.

[0017] The weight detection sensor 17 is a sensor that detects weight information of the dropping device 200 and the transported object 90 connected to the first flying object 10, and is attached to the first connecting member 50. The weight detected by the weight detection sensor 17 is the total weight of the dropping device 200 and the transported object 90, but since the weight of the dropping device 200 does not change, the weight of the dropping device 200 alone can be subtracted from the total weight of the dropping device 200 and the transported object 90 to calculate the weight of only the transported object 90. In addition to directly detecting the weight, the weight detection sensor 17 may convert the flight time of the dropping device 200, the opening amount (dropping speed) of the dropping device 200, the lift generated by the first flying object 10 (power consumption, motor rotation speed, etc.) into weight information. In this case, by preparing a mapping between the various information and the weight information in advance, the weight information of the transported object 90 can be obtained from the various information. The position information detection sensor 18 is a sensor that detects the position information of the dropping device 200 or the first flying object 10, and is attached to the first connecting member 50. The position information detection sensor 18 detects the position information using, for example, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including a Global Positioning System (GPS). The weight detected by the weight detection sensor 17 and the position information detected by the position information detection sensor 18 are transmitted to the controller 30 by the communication unit 10b. The weight detection sensor 17 and the position information detection sensor 18 are attached to the first connecting member 50, but they may be attached to the first flying object 10.

[0018] The controller 30 is a device that controls the moving direction and moving speed of the first flying body 10. The controller 30 has a control unit 30a (see FIG. 5) and a communication unit 30b (see FIG. 5). The communication unit 30b acquires, for example, the altitude and lift of the first flying body 10 from the first flying body 10, and acquires the acceleration of the vertical direction VD of the dropping device 200. The control unit 30a generates a control command for controlling the moving direction MD and moving speed of the first flying body 10 based on the information acquired by the communication unit 30b, and transmits the control command from the communication unit 30b to the first flying body 10. Under the control of the controller 30, the first flying body 10, i.e., the dropping device 200, is moved to a predetermined position, and the transported object 90 is dropped to the predetermined position.

[0019] In the present embodiment, the controller 30 is fixedly installed at a location (e.g., on the ground) away from the first aircraft 10, but other configurations are also possible. For example, the controller 30 may be small and carried by the operator.

[0020] The dropping device control unit 40 has an opening / closing control unit 40a (see FIG. 5) and a communication unit 40b (see FIG. 5). The opening / closing control unit 40a controls the opening / closing of the opening / closing unit 42 of the dropping device 200 by a command from the controller 30. For example, if the dropping device 200 is a hatch type, the dropping device control unit 40 controls the opening / closing of the hatch, the opening angle of the hatch (opening amount), and the like. By adjusting the opening amount, the amount of the transported object 90 dropped from the dropping device 200 per unit time can be controlled. A predetermined amount of the transported object 90 is dropped from the dropping device 200 by the control of the dropping device control unit 40. The communication unit 40b receives a command related to the dropping of the dropping device 200 (for example, opening / closing of the opening / closing unit 42) from the controller 30. In addition, instead of the hatch type, the opening / closing section 42 may be a rotary feeder or a screw feeder whose dropping speed can be adjusted by the number of rotations.

[0021] The first connecting member 50 is a member that connects the first flying body 10 and the dropping device 200. The first connecting member 50 has a wire 51. The wire 51 connects the first flying body 10 and the dropping device 200.

[0022] The dropping information management device 110 manages dropping information, which is information related to dropping of the transported object 90. In order to manage the dropping information, the dropping information management device 110 has a storage medium.

[0023] 2 is a schematic diagram showing a flight system and a drop information management device in some embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modified example of the above embodiment, and is the same as the above embodiment except as otherwise specifically described below, and the description below is omitted. This embodiment is configured by adding a second flying object 20 to the above embodiment.

[0024] 2, the flight system 100 includes a first flight body 10, a second flight body 20, a controller (control device) 30, a dropping device control unit 40, and a dropping device 200. In the flight system 100, dropping information, which is information related to dropping of a transported object 90, is managed by a dropping information management device 110. The transported object 90 is, for example, biochar.

[0025] The second flying object 20 is connected to the dropping device 200 containing the transported object 90 via the first connecting member 50, and is a device that generates lift to lift the dropping device 200 in the air by a gas (e.g., helium gas) having a density less than that of air. The second flying object 20 has balloons 21, 22, and 23, and a communication unit 26 (see FIG. 5) described later.

[0026] The balloons 21, 22, and 23 are filled with a gas having a density less than that of air, and generate a lift force that makes the dropping device 200 float in the air. In this embodiment, the second flying body 20 has three balloons 21, 22, and 23, but other configurations are also possible. For example, the second flying body 20 may have only a single balloon 21. Also, the second flying body 20 may have two or more balloons, four or more. When multiple balloons are included, it is possible to avoid complete loss of buoyancy when a balloon is damaged. Also, the shape of the balloon is not important as long as it generates a lift force that makes the dropping device 200 float in the air.

[0027] The communication unit 26 is a device that transmits the weight detected by the weight detection sensor 17 and the position information detected by the position information detection sensor 18 to the controller 30. The weight detection sensor 17 is a sensor that detects weight information of the dropping device 200 and the transported object 90 connected to the second flying object 20, and is attached to the first connecting member 50. The weight detected by the weight detection sensor 17 is the total weight of the dropping device 200 and the transported object 90, but since the weight of the dropping device 200 does not change, the weight of the dropping device 200 alone can be subtracted from the total weight of the dropping device 200 and the transported object 90 to calculate the weight of only the transported object 90. The weight detection sensor 17 may directly detect the weight, or may convert the flight time of the dropping device 200, the opening amount (dropping speed) of the dropping device 200, the lift generated by the first flying object 10 and the second flying object 20 (power consumption, motor rotation speed, amount of filled gas, etc.) into weight information. The position information detection sensor 18 is a sensor that detects the position information of the dropping device 200 or the second flying object 20, and is attached to the first connecting member 50. The position information detection sensor 18 detects the position information using, for example, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including a Global Positioning System (GPS). The weight detection sensor 17 and the position information detection sensor 18 are attached to the first connecting member 50, but they may be attached to the first flying body 10 or the second flying body 20.

[0028] The first flying object 10 is connected to the dropping device 200 via the first connecting member 50 and the second connecting member 60, and is a device that moves the dropping device 200, which is lifted in the air by the lift generated by the second flying object 20, in the horizontal direction HD. The first flying object 10 has rotors 11, 12, 13, 14, a control unit 10a (see FIG. 5), a communication unit 10b (see FIG. 5), and drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f (see FIG. 5). The first flying object 10 can move to any position in a three-dimensional space in any attitude by the control unit 10a controlling the rotation speed of the rotors 11, 12, 13, 14. In this embodiment, the first flying object 10 has four rotors 11, 12, 13, 14 and four drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, but the number of rotors and drive motors may be changed as appropriate.

[0029] The control unit 10a is a device that controls the rotation speed of the drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f in response to a control command that the communication unit 10b receives from the controller 30. The drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f are connected to the rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively, and rotate the rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14 at any rotation speed.

[0030] The controller 30 is a device that controls the moving direction and moving speed of the first flying body 10. The controller 30 has a control unit 30a (see FIG. 5) and a communication unit 30b (see FIG. 5). The communication unit 30b acquires, for example, the altitude and lift of the second flying body 20 from the second flying body 20, acquires the altitude of the first flying body 10 from the first flying body 10, and acquires the acceleration of the vertical direction VD of the dropping device 200. The control unit 30a generates a control command for controlling the moving direction MD and moving speed of the first flying body 10 based on the information acquired by the communication unit 30b, and transmits the control command from the communication unit 30b to the first flying body 10. Under the control of the controller 30, the first flying body 10, i.e., the dropping device 200, is moved to a predetermined position, and the transported object 90 is dropped to the predetermined position.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the controller 30 is fixedly installed at a location (e.g., on the ground) away from the first aircraft 10, but other configurations are also possible. For example, the controller 30 may be small and carried by the operator.

[0032] The dropping device control section 40 has an opening / closing control section 40a (see FIG. 5) and a communication section 40b (see FIG. 5). The opening / closing control section 40a controls the opening / closing of the opening / closing section 42 of the dropping device 200 in response to a command from the controller 30. For example, if the dropping device 200 is a hatch type, the dropping device control section 40 controls the opening / closing of the hatch, the opening amount of the hatch, and the like. A predetermined amount of transported goods 90 is dropped from the dropping device 200 under the control of the dropping device control section 40. The communication section 40b receives a command related to the dropping of the dropping device 200 (for example, opening / closing of the opening / closing section 42) from the controller 30.

[0033] The first connecting member 50 is a member that connects the second flying body 20 and the dropping device 200. The first connecting member 50 has a wire 51, a wire 52, and a wire 53. The wire 51 connects the balloon 21 and the dropping device 200. The wire 52 connects the balloon 22 and the dropping device 200 via the wire 51. The wire 53 connects the balloon 23 and the dropping device 200 via the wire 51.

[0034] The second connecting member 60 is a wire that connects the first aircraft 10 to the connecting position P1 of the first connecting member 50, and extends in the extension direction DD.

[0035] The dropping information management device 110 manages dropping information, which is information related to dropping of the transported object 90. In order to manage the dropping information, the dropping information management device 110 has a storage medium. The following describes the case of a flight system 100 equipped with the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 in FIG. 2, but the same processing is also applied to the case of a flight system 100 equipped with the first aircraft 10 in FIG.

[0036] FIG. 3 is a top view illustrating an example of dropping an object by a flight system in some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the first flying object 10, the second flying object 20, and the dropping device 200 move from a predetermined position on the land, and the transported object 90 is dropped. The land is divided into a pseudo grid, for example, in order to acquire position information, and the weight of the transported object 90 dropped at each position of the grid is recorded in the dropping information management device 110. That is, while the dropping device 200 stays in each grid and drops the transported object 90, the dropped weight information, which is the weight change of the transported object 90, and the position information of the dropping device 200, i.e., the dropping position information, which is the position where the transported object 90 was dropped, are linked and recorded and managed. In addition to the dropped weight information of the transported object 90 and the dropping position information of the transported object 90, the dropping information management device 110 may further link and record the date and time information when the transported object 90 was dropped. The dropped weight information of the transported item 90, the dropped position information of the transported item 90, and the date and time information recorded in the drop information management device 110 are linked and stored, thereby constructing a drop information database in the drop information management device 110.

[0037] By referring to the deployment information database, it is possible to confirm or prove the deployment record of the transported material 90. This makes it easier to manage the deployment of the transported material 90 on the required land and at the required time, and prevents incorrect deployment or non-deployment. Furthermore, by combining this with the carbon ratio contained in the transported material 90 (biochar) that has been analyzed in advance, it is possible to grasp the amount of carbon (carbon credits) that has been deployed (fixed) on a specified land.

[0038] By confirming that a certain weight of transported goods 90 has been dropped at each location on the grid of land, the flight system 100 can be controlled to move on to the next grid, thereby enabling the transported goods 90 to be dropped with high precision in accordance with the drop plan.

[0039] The first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 may screen the land where the transported object 90 is to be dropped from the sky in advance, and create a grid and draw up a drop plan. If location information can be acquired, the screening may be performed by the first aircraft 10 alone. In addition, for screening, the first aircraft 10 or the second aircraft 20 is equipped with, for example, a remote camera.

[0040] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of a drop information management device and a controller in some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 4, the drop information management device (Controller) 110, the controller 30 is a computer system, and includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit: Processor) 1100, a secondary storage device (ROM, Secondary storage: Memory) 1200, a main storage device (RAM, Main Memory) 1300, a hard disk drive (HDD) 1400 as a storage medium and a large-capacity storage device, and a communication unit 1500 for connecting to a network or the like.

[0041] The CPU 1100 controls the entire drop information management device 110 and the controller 30 by, for example, an OS (Operating System) stored in a secondary storage device 1200 connected via a bus 1800, and executes various processes by executing various programs stored in the secondary storage device 1200. One or more CPUs 1100 may be provided and may cooperate with each other to realize the processes.

[0042] The main memory device 1300 is composed of writable memory such as cache memory or RAM (Random Access Memory), and is used as a working area for reading out programs executed by the CPU 1100 and writing data processed by the programs.

[0043] The secondary storage device 1200 is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The secondary storage device 1200 is, for example, a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, or the like. Examples of the secondary storage device 1200 include a ROM (Read Only Memory), a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and a SSD (Solid State Drive) flash memory. The secondary storage device 1200 stores, for example, an OS for controlling the entire information processing device such as Windows (registered trademark), iOS (registered trademark), Android (registered trademark), a BIOS (Basic Input / Output System), various device drivers for operating peripheral devices as hardware, various application software, and various data and files. In addition, the secondary storage device 1200 stores programs for implementing various processes and various data required for implementing various processes. A plurality of secondary storage devices 1200 may be provided, and the above-mentioned programs and data may be divided and stored in each secondary storage device 1200.

[0044] The drop information management device 110 and the controller 30 may also include an input unit consisting of a keyboard, a mouse, etc., and a display unit consisting of a liquid crystal display device or the like for displaying data. Also, the drop information management device 110 and the controller 30 may include a notification unit including a display unit, such as a lamp, a speaker for outputting sound, particularly an alarm sound, etc.

[0045] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the functions of a flight system and a drop information management device in some embodiments of the present disclosure. 5, the flight system 100 includes a first flying object 10, a second flying object 20, a controller (control device) 30, and a dropping device control unit 40. The dropping information management device 110 includes a weight information detection unit 170, a position information detection unit 180, and a time acquisition unit 130.

[0046] A series of processes for realizing the functions of the drop information management device 110 and the controller 30 is stored in the secondary storage device 1200 (see FIG. 4) in the form of a program, for example, and the CPU (processor) 1100 (see FIG. 4) reads this program into the main storage device 1300 (see FIG. 4) and executes information processing and arithmetic processing to realize various functions. The program may be pre-installed in the secondary storage device 1200, provided in a state stored in another non-transient computer-readable storage medium, or distributed via wired or wireless communication means. Examples of non-transient computer-readable storage media include magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and semiconductor memories.

[0047] The weight information detection unit 170 shown in FIG. 5 acquires weight information of the transported item 90 detected by the weight detection sensor 17 .

[0048] The position information detection unit 180 acquires the position information of the dropping device 200 or the second flying object 20 detected by the position information detection sensor 18 .

[0049] The time acquisition unit 130 acquires date and time information.

[0050] When the flight system 100 drops a transported object 90, the drop information management device 110 links the weight information acquired by the weight information detection unit 170, the position information acquired by the position information detection unit 180, and the date and time information acquired by the time acquisition unit 130, and records them in a secondary storage device 1200 (see Figure 4), which is a recording medium, and accumulates them to construct a drop information database.

[0051] Next, a control method of a flight system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing a control method of a flight system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing details of the operation of the flight system 100 when the first flying body 10 of Fig. 6 moves the dropping device 200. Each process shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 is executed by the operator of the first flying body 10, the second flying body 20, the controller 30, the dropping information management device 110, and the flight system 100.

[0052] In step S101, the operator of the flight system 100 connects the second flying body 20 to the dropping device 200 using the first connecting member 50. Specifically, the operator connects the balloons 21, 22, and 23 of the second flying body 20 to the dropping device 200 using the first connecting member 50. The dropping device 200 is connected to the second flying body 20 with the transported object 90 contained therein.

[0053] Also, in step S101, the operator of the flight system 100 connects the first flying body 10 to the dropping device 200 via the first connecting member 50 using the second connecting member 60. Specifically, the operator connects the attachment position P2 of the first flying body 10 and the connecting position P1 of the first connecting member 50 with the second connecting member 60.

[0054] In step S102, the controller 30 transmits a control command to the first aircraft 10 to cause the first aircraft 10 to take off. In response to receiving the control command for takeoff from the controller 30, the first aircraft 10 rotates the drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f to rotate the rotors 11, 12, 13, and 14.

[0055] In step S103, the operator of the flight system 100 supplies gas having a density less than air to the balloons 21, 22, and 23 of the second flying body 20. The operator operates to supply gas from a gas supply source (not shown) to the balloons 21, 22, and 23. Note that the operator may fix the dropping device 200 to a hook (not shown) or other heavy object provided on the ground with a wire (not shown) or a hook (not shown) before step S103 so that the dropping device 200 does not take off unexpectedly due to lift generated by the second flying body 20 or a gust of wind.

[0056] In step S104, the controller 30 judges whether the lift of the second flying body 20 is equal to or greater than a predetermined lift, and if YES, the process proceeds to step S105, and if NO, the processes of steps S103 and S104 are repeated. Here, the predetermined lift is a lift that results in a state in which the lift (first lift) generated by the second flying body 20 coincides with the lift (second lift) for raising the dropping device 200 to the target altitude.

[0057] In step S104, the controller 30 may determine whether the amount of gas supplied to the balloons 21, 22, and 23 is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, and if YES, the process proceeds to step S105, and if NO, steps S103 and S104 may be repeated. Here, the predetermined amount is the amount of gas required for the second flying object 20 to generate a predetermined lift.

[0058] In step S105, the operator of the flight system 100 stops the supply of gas to the balloons 21, 22, and 23 of the second flight body 20. The operator performs an operation to stop the supply of gas from a gas supply source (not shown) to the balloons 21, 22, and 23. With the supply of gas stopped in step S105, the dropping device 200 is in a state of floating in the air.

[0059] In step S106, the controller 30 controls the first flying body 10 to move the dropping device 200 along the horizontal direction HD toward the target position by the first flying body 10. Details of the process in step S106 will be described later with reference to FIG.

[0060] In step S107, the controller 30 determines whether the altitude difference obtained by subtracting the altitude of the second aircraft 20 from the altitude of the first aircraft 10 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. If the result is YES, the process proceeds to step S109. If the result is NO, the process proceeds to step S108. The predetermined value is a positive value and is set so that the first aircraft 10 does not come into contact with the second aircraft 20.

[0061] In step S108, because the altitude difference between the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 is less than a predetermined value, the controller 30 controls the first aircraft 10 to ascend along the vertical direction VD to avoid the first aircraft 10 coming into contact with the second aircraft 20. The controller 30 controls the first aircraft 10 to ascend by a predetermined constant altitude, for example.

[0062] In step S109, the controller 30 judges whether the second flying body 20 has reached the sky above the target position, and if YES, the process proceeds to step S110, and if NO, the process proceeds to step S106. Whether the second flying body 20 has reached the sky above the target position may be judged, for example, by the position information of the second flying body 20 or the dropping device 200 obtained from the position information detection sensor 18, or may be judged by visual inspection by an operator or worker waiting near the target position.

[0063] In step S110, the controller 30, or the operator of the flight system 100 via the controller 30, inputs a command to the drop device control unit 40 to control the opening / closing unit 42 of the drop device 200 to open in order to start dropping the transported object 90, since the controller 30 has reached the sky above the target position. When the opening / closing unit 42 is opened, the transported object 90 is dropped onto the land. When the flight system 100 is moved by the first flight body 10 with the opening / closing unit 42 in the open state, the transported object 90 is continuously dropped onto the land along the movement of the flight system 100. Furthermore, when the first flight body 10 moves at a constant speed, the transported object 90 is dropped onto the land in an almost constant amount.

[0064] In step S111, the controller 30 judges whether the weight of the dropped object 90 has reached a predetermined weight, and if YES, the process proceeds to step S112, and if NO, the controller 30 repeats the judgment in step S111. The predetermined weight is, for example, the weight of the object 90 required to drop the object 90 over the entire land (area) where the drop is planned.

[0065] In step S112, the controller 30 judges whether the weight information detected by the weight detection sensor 17 is equal to or less than a predetermined weight. If the result is YES, the process proceeds to step S113. If the result is NO, the process proceeds to step S106. If the process proceeds to step S106, the dropping to the land (area) where the dropping is planned is completed, but the transported object 90 remains in the dropping device 200, so the dropping device 200 moves to the land (area) where the dropping is to be performed next. The predetermined weight is, for example, the weight of the dropping device 200 only, and being equal to or less than the predetermined weight indicates that the transported object 90 has been dropped completely and the dropping device 200 is empty. Alternatively, the predetermined weight may be appropriately set to the amount to be dropped to the land (area) where the dropping is to be performed next, or, for example, 20% of the maximum load of the transported object 90.

[0066] In step S113, the controller 30, or the operator of the flight system 100 via the controller 30, inputs a command to the drop device control unit 40 to control the opening / closing unit 42 of the drop device 200 to the closed state. The opening / closing unit 42 is closed, and the process ends.

[0067] Next, the movement of the dropping device 200 by the first aircraft 10 in FIG. 6 (step S106) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In step S201, the second aircraft 20 measures the altitude of the second aircraft 20. The communication unit 26 of the second aircraft 20 transmits the altitude of the second aircraft 20 to the controller 30.

[0068] In step S202, the controller 30 determines whether the altitude of the drop device 200 converted from the altitude of the second aircraft 20 received from the second aircraft 20 is lower than the target altitude, and if YES, proceeds to step S203, and if NO, proceeds to step S204.

[0069] In step S203, the controller 30 controls the moving direction MD and moving speed of the first flying body 10 so that the altitude of the dropping device 200 connected to the second flying body 20 rises to the target altitude. The controller 30 controls the moving direction MD and moving speed of the first flying body 10 so that the upward acceleration in the vertical direction VD acting on the dropping device 200 by the first flying body 10 is greater than the downward acceleration in the vertical direction VD of the dropping device 200.

[0070] Thus, in step S203, the controller 30 controls the movement direction MD and movement speed of the first flying body 10 so as to raise the dropping device 200 to the target altitude when the lift (first lift) generated by the second flying body 20 is smaller than the lift (second lift) for raising the dropping device 200 to the target altitude.

[0071] In step S204, the controller 30 determines whether the altitude of the drop device 200 converted from the altitude of the second aircraft 20 received from the second aircraft 20 is higher than the target altitude, and if YES, proceeds to step S205, and if NO, ends the processing of this flowchart.

[0072] In step S205, the controller 30 controls the moving direction MD and moving speed of the first flying body 10 so that the altitude of the dropping device 200 connected to the second flying body 20 descends to the target altitude. The controller 30 controls the moving direction MD and moving speed of the first flying body 10 so that the upward acceleration in the vertical direction VD acting on the dropping device 200 by the first flying body 10 is smaller than the downward acceleration in the vertical direction VD of the dropping device 200.

[0073] Thus, in step S205, the controller 30 controls the movement direction MD and movement speed of the first flying body 10 to descend the dropping device 200 to the target altitude when the lift (first lift) generated by the second flying body 20 is greater than the lift (second lift) for raising the dropping device 200 to the target altitude.

[0074] The moving direction MD and moving speed of the first flying object 10 in steps S203 and S205 in FIG. 5 are assumed to be when the dropping device 200 is moved (during movement) along the horizontal direction HD.

[0075] 8 is a schematic diagram showing a flight system and a drop information management device in some embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modified example of the above embodiment, and is the same as the above embodiment except as otherwise specifically described below, and the description below is omitted. This embodiment is configured by adding a guidance device 120 to the above embodiment.

[0076] 8, the guidance device 120 is connected to the drop information management device 110. The guidance device 120 extracts and acquires drop information from the drop information database constructed by the drop information management device 110. The guidance device 120 also issues instructions to the flight system 100 via the controller 30 based on the acquired drop information.

[0077] The guidance device 120 acquires carbon credit price information 121 as input information in addition to the investment information acquired from the investment information management device 110. Carbon credit is a mechanism that allows the amount of carbon dioxide and other emissions reduced by introducing energy saving equipment or using renewable energy, or the amount of carbon dioxide and other emissions absorbed by appropriate forest management, to be issued as "credits" and traded. The carbon credit price indicates the price per unit of credit traded as carbon credits.

[0078] The guidance device 120 can issue commands to the controller 30 to control the movement route of the first flying body 10 and the opening and closing of the opening / closing section 42. The guidance device 120 can also predict the amount and time of dropping the transported goods 90 when the flight system 100 flies along the movement route of the first flying body 10 specified by the guidance device 120. The guidance device 120 may further add carbon credit price information 121 to calculate the amount of dropping of the transported goods 90 that corresponds to the target income of the carbon credits, and control the movement route.

[0079] The guidance device 120 can display the dropping result based on the dropping information acquired from the dropping information management device 110. The dropping result may be a dropping map shown on a map as shown in Fig. 3. In addition, the guidance device 120 predicts the carbon credit receipt income based on the weight information of the transported goods 90 in the dropping information acquired from the dropping information management device 110 and the carbon credit price information 121.

[0080] 9 is a schematic diagram showing a flight system and a drop information management device in some embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modified example of the above embodiment, and is the same as the above embodiment except as otherwise specifically described below, and the description below is omitted. In this embodiment, the position information detection sensor 18, which is provided in the first connecting member 50 in the above embodiment, is provided in the drop device 200.

[0081] As shown in Fig. 9, the position information detection sensor 18 is provided in the dropping device 200. In Fig. 9, the position information detection sensor 18 is provided on the side of the dropping device 200, but the installation position does not matter as long as the position information of the dropping device 200 can be detected.

[0082] In this way, the position information detection sensor 18 is provided in the dropping device 200, so that the traceability of the dropping device 200 can be ensured. For example, the transported object 90 is put into the dropping device 200 at the source of the transported object 90, the dropping device 200 containing the transported object 90 is moved by a vehicle or the like, and the dropping device 200 arrives in the vicinity of the land where the transported object 90 is to be dropped. At the land where the transported object 90 is to be dropped, the dropping device 200 is connected to the flight system 100, and thereafter, the dropping information of the transported object 90 is recorded as in the above-mentioned embodiment. After dropping all the transported object 90, the dropping device 200, which is empty, is moved again by a vehicle or the like to the source of the transported object 90. Therefore, all of these series of movements of the dropping device 200 and the transported object 90 can be recorded.

[0083] In addition, since the location of the dropping device 200 can be ascertained, theft of the dropping device 200 can be prevented.

[0084] 10 and 11 are schematic diagrams showing a flight system and a drop information management device in some embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modified example of the above embodiment, and is the same as the above embodiment except as otherwise specifically described below, and the description below is omitted. In this embodiment, the drop device 200 of the above embodiment has a collection function.

[0085] As shown in Fig. 10, the dropping device 200 of this embodiment has a shape capable of scooping up a transported object 90 loaded on a vehicle or placed on the ground and dropping the transported object 90 after movement by the flight system 100, and has a shape resembling two buckets put together, for example. The dropping device 200 of this embodiment is controlled to open and close by the opening and closing control unit 40a, as in the above-mentioned embodiment. When the dropping device 200 of this embodiment scoops up the transported object 90 on the vehicle V, the process of transferring the object from the vehicle V to the dropping device 200 can be omitted.

[0086] 11, the dropping device 200 of this embodiment can move while containing the picked-up transported object 90, and the opening and closing is controlled by the opening and closing control unit 40a, so that the dropping device 200 can be dropped onto the ground. In this way, since the dropping device 200 of this embodiment has a cargo collection function, the labor required for loading the transported object 90 into the dropping device 200 can be reduced.

[0087] Furthermore, the drop information management device 110 may manage two or more flight systems 100. By managing at least one or more flight systems 100, the drop information management device 110 can control all of the drop operations of the multiple flight systems 100 onto various pieces of land. Furthermore, control can be performed even when multiple flight systems 100 drop onto one piece of land. Furthermore, since there is no need to prepare a drop information management device 110 for each of the multiple flight systems 100, costs can be reduced.

[0088] Fig. 12 is a diagram showing information flows in some embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modified example of the above embodiment, and is the same as the above embodiment except as otherwise specifically described below, and the description below is omitted. In this embodiment, when the transported material 90 in the above embodiment is biochar 90, carbon credits are estimated using an economic simulator 145.

[0089] As shown in FIG. 12, the carbon credit calculation device 140 acquires input information from the information collection device 150 and the guidance device 120 . The information collecting device 150 uses a user terminal to collect and acquire market information related to carbon credits. The market information is, for example, a carbon credit trading price, a tradable amount of carbon credits, and various other information in the carbon credit market. The market information collected by the information collecting device 150 is received by the guidance device 120 (S10).

[0090] The guidance device 120 acquires land information and transported object information. The land information is the area, shape, and PH data of the land on which the transported object 90 is dropped, and is various information related to the land on which the biochar 90 is dropped. The transported object information is the amount of biochar that can be dropped, the degree of carbonization, and is various information related to the biochar 90. The land information and transported object information are input to the guidance device 120 by a user. The land information and transported object information acquired by the guidance device 120 are added to the market information received by the guidance device 120 and transmitted to the carbon credit calculation device 140 (S20).

[0091] The carbon credit calculation device 140 calculates the amount of biochar input and carbon credits based on the market information, land information, and transported item information transmitted from the guidance device 120.

[0092] The carbon credit calculation device 140 may include an economic simulator 145. The economic simulator 145 performs an economic simulation based on the input information, which are market information, land information, and transported goods information (S30). The economic simulator 145 calculates the amount of biochar to be used based on the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, the land information, and the amount of biochar that can be used. The economic simulator 145 may perform an economic simulation, calculate a process value, and output a cost estimate.

[0093] The carbon credit calculation device 140 calculates and outputs the carbon credit from the biochar input amount and the carbon credit trading price. If an economic simulator 145 is provided, it proposes the optimal biochar input amount and carbon credit based on the results of the simulation (S40).

[0094] FIG. 13 illustrates an economic simulator in some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 13, input parameters are input to the economic simulator 145 as input information, and output values ​​are output as output information.

[0095] The input parameters include market information, land information, and transported material information. The market information includes a carbon credit trading price, which is the market trading price of carbon credits, and a tradable amount of carbon credits, which indicates the amount of carbon credits that can be traded in the market. The land information includes the area of ​​the land, the shape of the land, and pH data, which indicates the pH value of the soil of the land. The transported material information includes a possible biochar throwing amount, which indicates the weight of biochar 90 that can be thrown, and the carbonization degree of biochar 90.

[0096] The output values ​​include the amount of biochar applied and the carbon credit. The amount of biochar applied includes a predicted amount of optimal biochar 90 applied. The carbon credit includes a carbon credit when the amount of optimal biochar 90 applied is the predicted amount.

[0097] The economic simulator 145 receives each input parameter as input information, performs calculations, and outputs each output value as output information.

[0098] FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a control flow for carbon credit calculation in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Each step in the flowchart of FIG. 14 corresponds to each step in the information flow of FIG.

[0099] In step S10, the information collection device 150 acquires market information (carbon credit trading price, tradable amount of carbon credit) for control by the carbon credit calculation device 140. The carbon credit calculation device 140 reads the market information collected via the guidance device 120.

[0100] In step S20, for control by the carbon credit calculation device 140, land information (area, shape, PH data) and transported material information (biochar throwable amount, carbonization degree) are input to the guidance device 120. The carbon credit calculation device 140 reads the land information and transported material information input to the guidance device 120.

[0101] In step S30, the economic simulator 145 calculates the amount of biochar to be dropped based on the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, land information, and the amount of biochar that can be dropped.

[0102] In step S40, the carbon credit calculation device 140 calculates and outputs the carbon credit from the biochar input amount and the carbon credit trading price. If an economic simulator 145 is provided, the device proposes the optimal biochar input amount and carbon credit based on the results of the simulation.

[0103] Fig. 15 is a diagram showing information flow in some embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modified example of the above embodiment, and is the same as the above embodiment except as otherwise specifically described below, and the description below is omitted. In this embodiment, when the transported material 90 in the above embodiment is biochar 90, carbon credits are reported when the biochar is added according to the amount of biochar input.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 15, a flight system 100 including a carbon credit calculation device 140 (see FIG. 12) receives input information from an information collection device 150 and a guidance device 120. The information collecting device 150 uses a user terminal to collect and acquire market information related to carbon credits. The market information is, for example, a carbon credit trading price, a tradable amount of carbon credits, and various other information in the carbon credit market. The market information collected by the information collecting device 150 is received by the guidance device 120 (S11).

[0105] The guidance device 120 acquires land information and transported item information. The land information is soil data such as the area, shape, and pH of the land on which the transported item 90 is dropped, and is various information related to the land. The transported item information is the amount of biochar that can be dropped, the degree of carbonization, and is various information related to the biochar 90. The land information and transported item information are input to the guidance device 120 by the user. The land information and transported item information acquired by the guidance device 120 are added to the market information received by the guidance device 120 and transmitted to the flight system 100 (S21).

[0106] The flight system 100 calculates the amount of biochar input and carbon credits based on market, land, and cargo information transmitted from the guidance device 120.

[0107] Flight system 100 may include an economic simulator 145. Economic simulator 145 performs an economic simulation based on input information, such as market information, land information, and transported goods information (S31). Economic simulator 145 calculates the amount of biochar to be dropped based on the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, the land information, and the amount of biochar that can be dropped. Economic simulator 145 may perform an economic simulation, and output calculations of process values ​​and estimated costs.

[0108] The flight system 100 calculates and outputs carbon credits from the amount of biochar input and the carbon credit trading price. If an economic simulator 145 is provided, the flight system 100 proposes optimal amounts of biochar input and carbon credits based on the results of the simulation (S41).

[0109] The guidance device 120 issues flight commands, which are flight-related commands, to the flight system 100 based on the calculated biochar input amount and carbon credits (S51).

[0110] Based on the flight command, the flight system 100 controls the movement route of the first flying object 10, the open / close state and the opening angle of the dropping device 200, and performs actual operation (S61). Based on the flight command, the flight system 100 flies and drops biochar 90. At this time, the drop information management device 110 manages the drop information and builds a drop information database.

[0111] The flight system 100 requests carbon credits from the information collection device 150 according to the amount of biochar 90 dropped, the degree of carbonization (the carbon ratio in the biochar), the date and time of dropping, and the dropping position (S71). Specifically, the flight system 100 acquires the above-mentioned information from the dropping information database managed by the dropping information management device 110, and the carbon credit calculation device 140 of the flight system 100 calculates the carbon credits and requests the carbon credits.

[0112] The information collection device 150 connects to a server or the like that handles carbon credit transactions via a user terminal, and the carbon credit payment is made (S81).

[0113] FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a control flow for reporting carbon credits in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Each step in the flowchart in Fig. 16 corresponds to each step in the information flow in Fig. 15. S61 in the information flow in Fig. 15 corresponds to S61 and S62 in the flowchart in Fig. 16.

[0114] In step S11, the information collection device 150 acquires market information (carbon credit trading price, tradable amount of carbon credits).

[0115] In step S21, land information (area, shape, PH data) and transported goods information (biochar drop capacity, carbonization degree) are input to the guidance device 120. The flight system 100 reads the land information and transported goods information input to the guidance device 120 together with the market information acquired by the information collection device 150.

[0116] In step S31, the economic simulator 145 calculates the amount of biochar to be dropped based on the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, land information, and the amount of biochar that can be dropped.

[0117] In step S41, the flight system 100 calculates and outputs carbon credits from the amount of biochar input and the carbon credit trading price. If an economic simulator 145 is provided, the flight system 100 proposes optimal amounts of biochar input and carbon credits based on the results of the simulation.

[0118] In step S51, the guidance device 120 determines whether to issue a flight command, which is a flight command, to the flight system 100 based on the calculated biochar input amount and carbon credits. If YES, the guidance device 120 issues a flight command to the flight system 100 and transitions to step S61. On the other hand, if NO, the process ends.

[0119] In step S61, the flight system 100 flies and drops biochar 90 based on flight commands.

[0120] In step S62, the flight system 100 determines whether a predetermined weight of biochar 90 has been dropped. If YES, the process proceeds to step S71. On the other hand, if NO, the process returns to step S51.

[0121] In step S71, the flight system 100 requests carbon credits according to the amount of biochar 90 dropped, the degree of carbonization, the date and time of dropping, and the dropping position. The flight system 100 obtains the above information from the dropping information database managed by the dropping information management device 110, and the carbon credit calculation device 140 of the flight system 100 calculates the carbon credits.

[0122] In step S81, the information collection device 150 connects to a server or the like that handles carbon credit transactions via a user terminal, and the carbon credit payment is made.

[0123] <Additional Notes> The drop information management device, economic simulator, flight system, drop information management method, and drop information management program described in the above-described embodiments can be understood, for example, as follows.

[0124] The drop information management device (110) of the first aspect of the present disclosure manages drop information, which is information related to the dropping of a transported object of a flight system (100) including a drop device (200) that drops a transported object (90), a first flying object (10) that is connected to the drop device and generates lift to lift the drop device in the air and moves the drop device horizontally once it has lifted in the air, and a control device (30) that controls the direction of movement of the first flying object, and is equipped with a weight information detection unit (170) that detects weight information of the transported object and a position information detection unit (180) that detects position information of the drop device (200) or the first flying object, and manages the weight information and the position information in association with each other.

[0125] The amount of transported goods dropped can be derived from weight information and is managed in conjunction with location information, making it possible to accurately determine where and how much of the goods were dropped. In addition, since the location information is detected from the location information of the dropping device or the first flying object, the location information of the transported item can be easily determined.

[0126] The drop information management device of the second aspect of the present disclosure, in the first aspect, may be provided with a time acquisition unit (130) that acquires date and time information, and may manage the date and time information in association with the weight information and the position information.

[0127] In addition to weight information and location information, date and time information is managed, so weight information and location information at the same time can be obtained, making it possible to accurately grasp when the transported goods were dropped in addition to the amount and location of the goods dropped.

[0128] In the third aspect of the drop information management device of the present disclosure, in the first or second aspect, the weight information detection unit may detect the weight information using a weight detection sensor (17) arranged between the drop device and the first air vehicle.

[0129] A weight detection sensor is disposed between the dropping device and the first flying object, so that the weight of the transported object can be accurately detected.

[0130] In the fourth aspect of the drop information management device of the present disclosure, in any of the first to third aspects, the position information detection unit may detect the position information using a position information detection sensor (18) arranged on the drop device or the first flying object.

[0131] Since the location information is detected from the location information of the dropping device or the first flying object, the location information of the transported item can be easily determined.
