Abstract

To solve the problems that cultivation know-how of agricultural workers is personal and is lost when they retire, and that commercialization of knowledge and continuous reward are difficult.SOLUTION: The invention adopts a structure in which agricultural knowledge is structured and registered on a cloud and provided to a third party through a permission-based license. A configuration is provided in which rewards are automatically distributed according to production results of crops and sales revenues and continuous rewards are returned to a knowledge provider even after retirement. The invention includes a knowledge reproduction function by a robot or an AI character and a distribution optimization function according to evaluation, thereby realizing sustainable knowledge circulation support.SELECTED DRAWING: None

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the licensing of agricultural knowledge and the return of rewards, and in particular to the utilization of agricultural cultivation know-how possessed by farmers as intellectual property, and to the support of sustainable agriculture through passive income models and knowledge transfer. [Background technology]

[0002] Agricultural expertise and know-how depend on individual experience, making it difficult to standardize, reuse, or monetize. Furthermore, there is no compensation system for knowledge providers, which hinders the promotion of knowledge distribution. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] WO2006063314A3 discloses a system for automatically controlling pruning and harvesting using a visual recognition type agricultural robot. [Patent Document 2] US20130204437A1 discloses an autonomous agricultural robot using image recognition and control modules, but does not include knowledge licensing structure or reward inheritance functions. [Patent Document 3] US10846843B2 discloses a farmland monitoring and analysis platform based on satellite and UAV images, but does not have the function of revenue sharing of agricultural knowledge. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The purpose of this system is to provide a system that manages the cultivation know-how of agricultural workers as an asset, enables them to receive continuous compensation while they are working and after they retire, and allows them to both utilize and pass on knowledge. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The agricultural support system of the present invention structures and tags agricultural knowledge on the cloud, registers it, and manages its use by third parties through a permission-based licensing structure. It also has a revenue structure that automatically distributes rewards based on crop production performance and sales revenue. It also includes a succession mechanism that allows rewards to continue even if a knowledge provider retires, a knowledge reproduction function using a robot or AI character, and a reward distribution optimization function based on evaluation information. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] This invention allows farmers to share their knowledge on a licensed basis and continue to receive compensation, creating a passive income model for them after retirement. Furthermore, the widespread use of agricultural knowledge contributes to supporting young farmers, preserving local techniques, and promoting international knowledge distribution. Remuneration is automated, allowing for flexible allocation based on the frequency of knowledge use and evaluation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] In one embodiment, the cultivation techniques and judgment know-how possessed by farmers are registered on the cloud in association with varieties, weather conditions, crop types, etc. Third parties are permitted to use this knowledge through a license agreement. For produced crops, actual data such as yield, sales, and distribution destinations are recorded, and revenue is calculated for each piece of knowledge and automatically returned to the original provider. Knowledge is similarly managed when reproduced by an AI character or an automatic control device, and the system is configured to adjust license fees and reward distribution rates according to a reliability score based on evaluation information.

Claims

1. An agricultural support system that manages agricultural knowledge such as crop cultivation techniques, cultivation know-how, and management methods possessed by farmers through a licensing structure that requires permission for third parties to use the knowledge, and enables the production or support of crops using that knowledge.

2. 2. A knowledge utilization control type agricultural support system according to claim 1, characterized in that the use of said agricultural knowledge can be restricted by conditions such as geographical area, crop variety, and period of use, and in particular includes a configuration that restricts domestic distribution and limits it to overseas export only.

3. 3. The agricultural support system according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that it has a profit distribution structure in which rewards are automatically returned to the original knowledge provider based on the sales performance, harvest volume, export value, etc. of crops produced using said agricultural knowledge.

4. An agricultural support system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that it includes a knowledge inheritance structure in which the original provider of agricultural knowledge can continue to receive compensation even after retirement, and the knowledge is passed on to others, and approval for use or profit return continues.

5. 5. An agricultural knowledge reproduction support system according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the agricultural knowledge is structured, tagged, and recorded on the cloud, and the knowledge can be reproduced by a robot, an AI character, or an automatic control device, and used for work assistance, cultivation support, quality maintenance, etc.

6. 6. An agricultural support system according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the agricultural support system collects evaluation information from purchasers, sellers, distribution institutions, etc. regarding crops produced using the agricultural knowledge, and dynamically adjusts the reliability, recommendation level, license fee or reward allocation rate of the knowledge based on the evaluation.
