DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0010] [First embodiment] <System configuration> 1 is a configuration diagram of an example of an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment. The information processing system 1 according to this embodiment includes an information processing device 10, an information processing terminal 12, a repeater 14, a core thermometer 16, a warehouse thermometer 18, and an outside air thermometer 20.

[0011] The information processing device 10, the information processing terminal 12, and the repeater 14 are communicatively connected via a network 22. The network 22 is the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), or the like. Note that, although the information processing system 1 shown in Fig. 1 shows an example in which the core thermometer 16, the warehouse thermometer 18, and the outside air thermometer 20 are connected to the network 22 via the repeater 14, they may be connected to the network 22 without going through the repeater 14.

[0012] The core thermometer 16, the warehouse thermometer 18, and the outside air thermometer 20 are installed, for example, in a warehouse 30 shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the core thermometer, the warehouse thermometer, and the outside air thermometer installed in a warehouse. The inside of the warehouse is also an example of a room.

[0013] Warehouse 30 shown in Fig. 2 stores storage objects. In the following, an example in which the storage objects are agricultural products will be described, but the storage objects are not limited to agricultural products. Warehouse 30 stores agricultural products of multiple farms (for example, farms A to C) in containers or the like.

[0014] The core thermometer 16 measures the core temperature of the crops of multiple farms. For example, the core thermometer 16 inserts a probe into the crops to measure the temperature inside the crops. The in-warehouse thermometer 18 measures the air temperature inside the warehouse 30. The in-warehouse thermometer 18 is installed near a container such as a container for storing the crops, and measures the air temperature inside the warehouse 30. The in-warehouse temperature measured by the in-warehouse thermometer 18 is an example of an indoor temperature. The outside air thermometer 20 measures the outside air temperature outside the warehouse 30. Note that, although FIG. 2 shows an example in which the in-warehouse thermometer 18 is installed for each of multiple farms, there may be only one in the warehouse 30. The core thermometer 16, the in-warehouse thermometer 18, and the outside air thermometer 20 are examples of temperature sensors that measure the core temperature, the in-warehouse temperature, and the outside air temperature.

[0015] 1, the central thermometer 16, the inside-warehouse thermometer 18, and the outside air thermometer 20 transmit the measured central temperature, inside-warehouse temperature, and outside air temperature as measurement data to the information processing device 10 via the repeater 14. The repeater 14 may be hierarchical, for example, into a child repeater and a parent repeater.

[0016] The information processing device 10 records data necessary for storage management of agricultural products in the warehouse 30 as described below, analyzes the recorded data as described below, determines the level of urgency, assigns the determined level of urgency, and issues an alert notification as described below. The alert notification is an example of a notification. The notification may include, for example, a notice notification.

[0038] <Functional configuration> Fig. 5 is a functional configuration diagram of an example of the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. Note that the functional configuration diagram of Fig. 5 appropriately omits configurations that are not necessary for the description of the present embodiment. The information processing device 10 and the information processing terminal 12 shown in Fig. 5 are realized by, for example, the computer 500 in Fig. 2 or the smartphone 400 in Fig. 3 executing an OS (Operating System) and a program.

Similarly, a function of a given unit can be performed by the information processing terminal 12. Also, the elements of the information processing device 10 and the information processing terminal 12 may be integrated into one device or separated into multiple devices.

[0047] Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram of an example of measurement data recorded in the measurement data recording unit 58. As shown in Fig. 6, the measurement data recording unit 58 records the outside air temperature, the temperature inside the warehouse, and the core temperature at predetermined intervals (for example, every 15 minutes) for each farmer who stores agricultural products in the warehouse 30. Fig. 6 shows an example of recorded measurement data when farmers A to C stored agricultural products in the warehouse 30 from 6:00 on March 30, 2023 to 7:00 on March 30, 2024.

[0048] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the temperature inside the warehouse fluctuates with changes in the outside air temperature, and the central temperature fluctuates with changes in the temperature inside the warehouse, as in the example of recorded measurement data in FIG.

[0049] 7 is an explanatory diagram of an example of storage result data recorded in the storage result data recording unit 60. The storage result data is input by the user via a Web application on the information processing terminal 12 at the start and end of storage of agricultural products in the warehouse 30. The storage result data shown in FIG. 7 is an example at the start of storage of agricultural products in fiscal year 2023 by farmers A to C.

[0050] The storage result data in FIG. 7 has items such as year, farmer, type of agricultural product, variety, total storage weight, successful storage weight, storage success rate, and maximum excess accumulated temperature.

[0051] The type of agricultural product indicates the type, such as sweet potato, rice, potato, etc. The variety indicates the variety of the agricultural product. The total storage weight is the weight of the agricultural product stored in the warehouse 30 at the start of storage. For example, the total storage weight is measured at the start of storage. The successful storage weight is the weight of the agricultural product that is not in poor condition at the end of storage. For example, the successful storage weight is measured at the end of storage. The successful storage rate is the ratio of the agricultural product that is not in poor condition at the end of storage, and is calculated by total storage weight / successful storage weight x 100. The maximum excess accumulated temperature is the maximum excess accumulated temperature in the fiscal year. The maximum excess accumulated temperature is defined as the time during which the temperature exceeded the standard upper limit included in the storage standard data x the average temperature. The average temperature is the value obtained by averaging the central temperature every hour. The analysis unit 54 calculates the successful storage rate and the maximum excess accumulated temperature.

[0052] Moreover, Fig. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an example of storage standard data recorded in storage standard data recording unit 62. The storage standard data is input by the user via a Web application on information processing terminal 12 at the start of storage of agricultural products in warehouse 30. The storage standard data shown in Fig. 8 is an example at the start of storage of agricultural products by farmers A to C.

[0053] The storage standard data in FIG. 8 has items such as type of agricultural produce, variety, over-allowable accumulated temperature, and upper limit reference temperature. The over-allowable accumulated temperature is set as the maximum over-allowable accumulated temperature for the year in which the farmer, type of agricultural produce, and variety match and the storage success rate is highest, based on the past storage result data shown in FIG. 7. The upper limit reference temperature is the temperature used to calculate the over-allowable accumulated temperature. The over-allowable accumulated temperature is a standard that is not expected to affect storage even if the core temperature exceeds the upper limit reference temperature. The information processing device 10 according to this embodiment issues an alert to the user to prevent agricultural produce stored in the warehouse 30 from exceeding the over-allowable accumulated temperature.

[0054] <Processing> The information processing device 10 according to this embodiment performs the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 9 every time it receives measurement data from, for example, the core thermometer 16, the warehouse thermometer 18, and the outside air thermometer and records it in the measurement data recording unit 58.

[0055] Fig. 9 is a flow chart showing an example of a processing procedure of the information processing device 10 according to this embodiment. Fig. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of an alert notification. In step S10, the notification unit 56 of the information processing device 10 determines whether the core temperature of the agricultural products stored in the warehouse 30 is equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage standard data.

[0056] If the core temperature of the agricultural products stored in the warehouse 30 is equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage reference data, the notification unit 56 proceeds to processing in step S12 and compares the allowable excess accumulated temperature of the storage reference data with the excess accumulated temperature of the measurement data. If the excess accumulated temperature of the measurement data is equal to or higher than the allowable excess accumulated temperature of the storage reference data, the notification unit 56 proceeds to processing in step S14. In step S14, the notification unit 56 determines the urgency level to be "4" and issues an alert notification of urgency level "4" as shown in FIG. 10, for example. FIG. 10 shows an example of an alert notification in which the urgency level increases as the numerical value increases. In FIG. 10, an alert notification of urgency level "4" has the highest urgency, and an alert notification of urgency level "1" has the lowest urgency.

[0057] If the excessive accumulated temperature of the measurement data is not equal to or greater than the allowable excessive accumulated temperature of the storage reference data, the notification unit 56 proceeds to the process of step S16. In step S16, the notification unit 56 determines the urgency level to be "3" and issues an alert notification of urgency level "3" as shown in FIG.

[0058] If the core temperature of the agricultural products stored in warehouse 30 is not equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage standard data, notification unit 56 proceeds to processing from step S10 to step S18, and determines whether or not the previous core temperature is equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage standard data. If the previous core temperature is equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage standard data, notification unit 56 proceeds to processing in step S20, and issues a core temperature normalization notification as shown in FIG.

[0059] Following step S20, the process proceeds to step S22, where notification unit 56 determines whether or not the temperature inside warehouse 30 storing the agricultural products is equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage standard data. If the temperature inside warehouse 30 storing the agricultural products is equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage standard data, notification unit 56 proceeds from step S22 to step S24.

[0060] In step S24, the notification unit 56 determines whether the temperature inside the warehouse 30 storing the agricultural products is equal to or higher than the outside air temperature. If the temperature inside the warehouse 30 storing the agricultural products is equal to or higher than the outside air temperature, in step S26, the notification unit 56 determines the urgency level to be "2" and issues an alert notification of urgency level "2" as shown in FIG.

[0061] Furthermore, if the temperature inside warehouse 30 where agricultural products are stored is not equal to or higher than the outside temperature, notification unit 56 determines in step S28 that the urgency level is "1" and issues an alert notification of urgency level "1" as shown in FIG.

[0062] In step S22, if the temperature inside the warehouse 30 where the agricultural products are stored is not equal to or higher than the upper limit temperature of the standard data of the storage standard data, the notification unit 56 proceeds from step S22 to processing of step S30 and determines whether the previous temperature inside the warehouse was equal to or higher than the upper limit temperature of the standard data of the storage standard data.

[0063] If the previous temperature inside the warehouse is equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage reference data, the notification unit 56 proceeds to the process of step S32 and issues, for example, a warehouse temperature normalization notification shown in Fig. 10. Note that if the previous central temperature is not equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage reference data in step S18, or if the previous temperature inside the warehouse is not equal to or higher than the upper reference temperature limit of the storage reference data in step S30, the notification unit 56 ends the process of the flowchart in Fig. 9 without issuing the alert notification shown in Fig. 10.

[0064] The permissible time included in the content of the alert notification of urgency level "3" shown in Fig. 10 is calculated, for example, as shown in Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the permissible time included in the content of the alert notification of urgency level "3".

[0065] The allowable time is the estimated time until the allowable accumulated temperature is exceeded. The change in the core temperature of the crops is calculated from the slope of the temperature inside the warehouse. The allowable time can be calculated from the time until the allowable accumulated temperature is reached, based on the change in the core temperature of the crops and the upper standard temperature limit. In Figure 11, the allowable accumulated temperature is the area of ​​the trapezoidal part (shaded area) of the time the upper standard temperature limit was exceeded.

[0066] The information processing system 1 of this embodiment uses the core temperature, warehouse temperature, and outside air temperature measured by the core thermometer 16, warehouse thermometer 18, and outside air thermometer 20 as measurement data to estimate changes in the core temperature of agricultural crops and issue an alert notification appropriate to the situation, allowing the user to recognize the urgency of the alert notification.

[0067] Therefore, according to the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the user can determine the urgency of the storage management of the storage object in the warehouse by the alert notification displayed on the information processing terminal 12. [Other embodiments] The information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment has shown an example of setting an upper standard temperature in the storage standard data, but it is also possible to set a lower standard temperature in the storage standard data and allow the user to determine the urgency of the stored items in the warehouse from the perspective of storage management using similar logic.

[0068] In addition, the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment uses the outside air temperature, the temperature inside the warehouse, and the central temperature of the stored objects inside the warehouse as measurement data, but similar logic can also be used for humidity to allow the user to determine the urgency from the perspective of storage management of the stored objects inside the warehouse.
