[0020] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a management system and a management program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

[0021] The management system according to the present invention is a system for managing target agricultural products.

[0022] "Target agricultural products" is a concept that indicates agricultural products to which the management system is applied, and includes, for example, grains, vegetables, fruits, eggs, cocoons, and livestock.

[0023] In this embodiment, the case where the "target agricultural product" is a tomato will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the target agricultural product may be an agricultural product (one or more types) other than a tomato.

[0024] (Agricultural facilities) Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a management system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an agricultural facility, in which a plan view of the agricultural facility is shown schematically.

[0025] The agricultural facility in FIG. 2 is a facility for carrying out agriculture related to target agricultural products, and includes, for example, Building 1, buildings 51 and 52, measurement side candidate positions 510 and 520, and passable routes (shown by dashed lines in FIG. 2).

[0026] (Agricultural Facility - Building 1) Building 1 in Figure 2 is a building (also referred to as a "building") for cultivating tomatoes. The agricultural facility has multiple buildings, including buildings 2 and 3, which are buildings for cultivating tomatoes other than Building 1, but for the sake of convenience, the following description will focus on Building 1. Furthermore, unless otherwise noted, the configuration of the other buildings, such as Building 2 and Building 3, is the same as that of Building 1.

[0027] Building 1 in Figure 2 is, for example, a cultivation building that can control the environment for tomato cultivation (for example, the amount of sunlight, temperature, humidity, water temperature, etc. inside), and is equipped with benches 41, 42, 43 and bench-side reference positions 410, 420, 430 inside.

[0028] (Agricultural facility - Building 1 - Bench) Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a bench. "Benches" 41 to 43 in Fig. 2 are areas where tomatoes are grown, and for example, tomatoes are planted, and as shown in Fig. 3, they are divided into sections 411 to 414, etc. "Sections" 411 to 414 are the smallest units of areas where tomatoes are planted. For ease of explanation, Fig. 3 shows an example in which one bench is divided into four sections, but the number of sections is arbitrary. Also, Fig. 3 shows sections 411 to 414 of bench 41, but benches 42 to 43 are also divided into similar sections.

[0029] In this embodiment, a case will be described in which tomatoes of each variety (type of target agricultural product) are grown in each plot, that is, tomatoes of the same variety are grown in the same plot.

[0030] (Agricultural facility - Building 1 - Bench side reference position) Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the container, the card, and the tomato. "Bench-side reference positions" 410, 420, 430 in Fig. 2 are harvest-side reference positions (described later), and are, for example, positions where cards 72 (Fig. 4) corresponding to each bench are provided.

[0031] Card 72 in Figure 4 is an item used when harvesting tomatoes, and is, for example, a card for identifying the harvest location of the tomatoes (the location where the tomatoes were harvested, i.e., the location where the harvested tomatoes were grown) and the variety of tomato (type of tomato), and as an example, is provided with a two-dimensional code 721.

[0032] The "two-dimensional code" 721 indicates harvest position information, which is information indicating the harvest position of the tomatoes, and variety information, which is information indicating the variety of the tomatoes, and any type of code can be used, for example, a QR code (registered trademark). In other words, the harvest position information and variety information can be read from the "two-dimensional code" 721.

[0033] ===Bench side reference position 410=== 2 is a reference position corresponding to bench 41. At bench-side reference position 410, a card 72 is provided with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating harvest position information that indicates the positions of each section 411-414 of bench 41 corresponding to bench-side reference position 410 as a harvest position. Note that this two-dimensional code 721 also indicates information about the variety being cultivated in that section.

[0034] In this embodiment, a case will be described in which information identifying the harvest position information is applied using the building, bench, and section. The building names are the aforementioned "Building 1" (FIG. 2) and "Building 2" (not shown), benches 41, 42, and 43 are named "Bench 1," "Bench 2," and "Bench 3," and these names are used, and sections 411, 412, 413, and 414 are named "Section 1," "Section 2," "Section 3," and "Section 4" (similar to benches 42 to 43, not shown), and these names are used.

[0035] For example, the harvest location information indicating section 411 in Fig. 3 is "1-1-1." In this "1-1-1," the numbers indicate the names of the building, bench, and section, from left to right, and indicate the first section (section 411 in Fig. 3) in the first bench (bench 41 in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3) in building 1 (Fig. 2).

[0036] That is, for example, the harvest position information indicating section 412 in Fig. 3 is "1-1-2," the harvest position information indicating section 413 is "1-1-3," and the harvest position information indicating section 414 is "1-1-4." Also, the harvest position information indicating the first section (not shown) of bench 42 in Fig. 2 is "1-2-1."

[0037] As illustrated in Figure 3, if the varieties of tomatoes grown in each of the plots 411 to 414 are variety A, variety B, variety B, and variety B, multiple cards 72 are provided at the bench-side reference position 410 in Figure 2, and the multiple cards 72 include a card 72 with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating harvest position information = "1-1-1" (information indicating the first plot of the first bench in building 1) and variety information = "variety A", a card 72 with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating "1-1-2" and variety information = "variety B", a card 72 with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating "1-1-3" and variety information = "variety B", and a card 72 with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating "1-1-4" and variety information = "variety B".

[0038] Since it is expected that one plot will be harvested multiple times, multiple cards 72 are provided, each with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating the same harvest location information and variety information (for example, "1-1-1" and "A variety") (the same applies to the cards 72 provided at the bench-side reference positions 420 and 430).

[0039] ===Bench side reference position 420=== 2 is a reference position corresponding to the bench 42. At the bench-side reference position 420, a card 72 is provided with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating harvest position information that indicates the position of each section of the bench 42 corresponding to the bench-side reference position 420 as a harvest position.

[0040] A plurality of cards 72 are provided at the bench-side reference position 420 in Figure 2, and each of the cards 72 includes a card 72 with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating each of the harvest position information = "1-2-1", "1-2-2", "1-2-3", and "1-2-4".

[0041] This two-dimensional code 721 also indicates the corresponding product type information, but since this is the same as in the case of the bench-side reference position 410, the explanation will be omitted (the same applies to the bench-side reference position 430).

[0042] ===Bench side reference position 430=== 2 is a reference position corresponding to the bench 43. At the bench-side reference position 430, a card 72 is provided with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating harvest position information that indicates the position of each section of the bench 43 corresponding to the bench-side reference position 430 as a harvest position.

[0043] A plurality of cards 72 are provided at the bench-side reference position 430 in Figure 2, and each of the cards 72 includes a card 72 with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating the harvest position information = "1-3-1", "1-3-2", "1-3-3", and "1-3-4".

[0044] ===Interpretation of terms=== For example, bench-side reference positions 410, 420, and 430 in Fig. 2 may be interpreted as corresponding to the "harvesting-side reference positions" that correspond to the harvesting positions of the target agricultural products. Also, for example, two-dimensional code 721 provided on card 72 in Fig. 4 may be interpreted as corresponding to the "reading target."

[0045] (Agricultural facilities - buildings) Buildings 51 and 52 in Figure 2 are separate buildings located away from Building 1, and are buildings in which various types of equipment can be installed, for example, buildings in which tomatoes are not grown. In reality, it is assumed that similar buildings other than buildings 51 and 52 are installed in the agricultural facility, but for the sake of convenience, the following description will focus on buildings 51 and 52. The following description will also focus on the other components of the agricultural facility shown in Figure 2.

[0046] (Agricultural facility - potential measurement location) The "measurement side candidate positions" 510 and 520 in FIG. 2 are candidate positions (also referred to as "candidate placement positions") for placement of the reading device 1 and measuring device 2 (FIG. 1), which will be described later, and multiple candidate positions are set in the agricultural facility. The method for determining these measurement candidate positions is arbitrary; for example, the manager may select multiple positions suitable for work in advance and set the selected positions. Furthermore, the "measurement side candidate positions" 510 and 520 may be indoors or outdoors, or may be within Building 1, but in the example of FIG. 2, they are set within buildings 51 and 52. Furthermore, the number of "measurement side candidate positions" 510 and 520 is also arbitrary, and may be three or more, but the example of FIG. 2 illustrates a case where two positions are set.

[0047] (Agricultural facilities - passable route) The passable routes in Fig. 2 (shown by dashed lines in Fig. 2) are multiple candidate routes that are candidates for the set route. Specifically, these passable routes are routes that workers working in the agricultural facility can take, and are routes from the harvesting position to the candidate placement position, for example, routes from bench-side reference positions 410, 420, 430 (also referred to as "bench-side reference position 410, etc.") to measurement-side candidate positions 510, 520.

[0048] In the agricultural facility of Figure 2, a passable route (also referred to as the "first passable route") is illustrated from the bench-side reference position 410, etc., via the entrance / exit E1 and branch point B1 of Building 1 to the measurement-side candidate position 510 in Building 51. Also illustrated is a passable route (also referred to as the "second passable route") from the bench-side reference position 410, etc., via the entrance / exit E1 and branch points B1 and B2 of Building 1 to the measurement-side candidate position 520 in Building 52. Also illustrated is a passable route (also referred to as the "third passable route") from the bench-side reference position 410, etc., via the entrance / exit E2 and branch points B2 and B1 of Building 1 to the measurement-side candidate position 510 in Building 51. Also shown is a passable route (also referred to as the "fourth passable route") from the bench side reference position 410, etc., via entrance / exit E2 of Building 1 and branch point B2 to the measurement side candidate position 520 within building 52.

[0049] (Harvesting procedure) Next, the harvesting procedure will be described.

[0050] ===Measurement location and route=== 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an agricultural facility. In addition, in FIG. 5, a measurement side position 510A and a set route 901 are illustrated in the agricultural facility of FIG.

[0051] The "measurement side position" 510A is a position where the reading device 1 and measuring device 2 (FIG. 1), which will be described later, etc. are placed, and is, for example, a position corresponding to one of the measurement side candidate positions 510, 520 in FIG. 2. That is, in this embodiment, either one of the measurement side candidate positions 510, 520 in FIG. 2 can be used as the measurement side position, but FIG. 5 illustrates a case where the measurement side candidate position 510 is used as the measurement side position 510A, and the following description will be based on this assumption unless otherwise specified.

[0052] The "set route" 901 is a route that is determined to be taken by workers when harvesting tomatoes, and is a route from the harvesting position to the placement position, and is, for example, one of the passable routes mentioned above.

[0053] In addition, "workers pass through when harvesting tomatoes" may be interpreted as meaning that workers pass through when carrying tomatoes harvested in one of the sections within benches 41-43 in Building 1 to the location where reading device 1 and measuring device 2 (Figure 1), etc., described below, are located.

[0054] In other words, Figure 5 illustrates an example in which a reading device 1 and a measuring device 2 (Figure 1) are installed at the measurement side position 510A, and the first passable route among the first to fourth passable routes mentioned above (i.e., a passable route from the bench side reference position 410, etc., via entrance / exit E1 of Building 1 and branch point B1 to the measurement side candidate position 510 within building 51) is defined as the set route 901, and the explanation will be based on this assumption unless otherwise specified.

[0055] ===Work Procedure=== <1st process> In the case of Figure 5, first, a worker picks up one container 71 (a container for carrying harvested tomatoes and a card 72 corresponding to the harvest location of the tomatoes) shown in Figure 4, which is placed in a predetermined location, and harvests tomatoes. In detail, the tomatoes to be harvested using one container 71 are limited to those in the same plot.

[0056] Here, for example, a worker carries an empty container 71 and moves to section 411 (Figure 3) of bench 41 in Building 1, visually checks the tomatoes in this section 411, selects tomatoes that are suitable for harvesting, and harvests the selected tomatoes using a designated tool (e.g., harvesting scissors) and places them in the container 71.

[0057] <Second process> Next, the worker holds the container 71 containing the harvested tomatoes and moves to the bench-side reference position corresponding to the harvesting position of the tomatoes, selects one card 72 from the cards 72 provided at the bench-side reference position, which has a two-dimensional code 721 indicating harvesting position information corresponding to the harvesting position of the tomatoes in the container 71 and variety information of the tomatoes, and places the selected card 72 in the container 71.

[0058] In addition, in order to enable the worker to recognize the contents of the harvest location information and variety information indicated by the two-dimensional code 721, for example, card 72 may be configured to display display information corresponding to the harvest location information and variety information (for example, "1-1-1" and "A variety") so that the worker can recognize the harvest location information and variety information indicated by the two-dimensional code 721, and the corresponding card 72 may be selected based on this display information.

[0059] Alternatively, for example, the cards 72 may be arranged in separate trays so that the cards 72 corresponding to each compartment can be identified at each bench-side reference position, and the corresponding card 72 may be selected from the corresponding tray.

[0060] In this case, for example, the tomatoes in container 71 are of variety A harvested in section 411 of bench 41 in building 1, so the worker selects card 72 bearing two-dimensional code 721 indicating harvest location information = "1-1-1" and variety information = "variety A" corresponding to section 1 of bench 1 in building 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as "card 72 with "1-1-1" and "variety A") and places it in container 71.

[0061] In this case, container 71 will contain tomatoes harvested in section 411 of bench 41 in building 1, and card 72 with a two-dimensional code 721 indicating section 411 of bench 41 in building 1 and variety A.

[0062] <3rd process> Next, the worker, holding the container 71 containing the harvested tomatoes and the cards 72 corresponding to those tomatoes, moves from the bench-side reference position to the measurement-side position 510A (FIG. 5) along the set path 901. In other words, the worker carries the harvested tomatoes and cards 72 to the measurement-side position 510A using the container 71.

[0063] Here, for example, a worker moves from the bench-side reference position 410 to the measurement-side position 510A along the set path 901 while holding a container containing harvested tomatoes and cards 72 labeled "1-1-1" and "A variety."

[0064] <4th process> Next, the worker measures the harvested tomatoes at measurement position 510A and prepares them for shipping; the various processes involved in this process will be described later.

[0065] (Configuration Management System) Next, we will explain the management system applied to the above-mentioned agricultural facility. Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram of each device. The management system 100 in Figure 1 is a system for managing tomatoes, which are the target agricultural products, and includes, for example, a reading device 1, a measuring device 2, and a management device 3.

[0066] Of the devices included in the management system 100, the reading device 1 and the measuring device 2 are provided at the measurement side position 510A in Fig. 5. The management device 3 can be provided at any position, but will be described as being provided at the measurement side position 510A in Fig. 5 together with the reading device 1, etc.

[0067] (Configuration-Management System-Reader) The reading device 1 in FIG. 1 is a reading means that reads harvest position information and variety information from the two-dimensional code 721 attached to the card 72 in FIG.

[0068] The communication unit 11 in FIG. 1 is a communication means for communicating with an external device (the management device 3 in FIG. 1), and can be configured using, for example, a known communication circuit (the same applies to the communication units of other devices).

[0069] The reading unit 12 in Figures 1 and 6 is a component for reading harvest location information and variety information from the two-dimensional code 721 attached to the card 72 in Figure 4, and can be constructed using, for example, known two-dimensional code reader technology.

[0070] The control unit 13 in FIG.

[0071] (Configuration - Management System - Measurement Device) The measuring device 2 in Figure 1 is a measuring means that measures the weight of the harvested target agricultural product, the tomato, and transmits weight information indicating the weight of the tomato (i.e., information indicating the measured weight).The measuring device 2 is installed at a measuring side position 510A that is away from the tomato harvesting position.

[0072] The measurement device 2 includes a communication unit 21, a measurement unit 22, and a control unit .

[0073] The communication unit 21 in FIG. 1 is a communication unit that communicates with an external device (the management device 3 in FIG. 1).

[0074] The measuring unit 22 in Figures 1 and 6 is a component that measures the weight of the harvested tomatoes, and can be configured, for example, using weight measuring instrument technology (technology for measuring the weight of an object placed on it) that corresponds to a known scale.

[0075] The measuring unit 22 is configured to be able to measure the weight of the tomatoes alone by automatically subtracting a predetermined weight corresponding to the container 71 from the sum of the weight of the container 71 and the weight of the tomatoes (i.e., the weight of the item placed on the measuring unit 22, which corresponds to a scale), so that the weight of the tomatoes can be measured while they are contained in the container 71.

[0076] The control unit 23 in FIG. 1 is a control means for controlling the measuring device 2.

[0077] (Configuration-Management System-Management Device) 1 is a device for managing agricultural products and can be configured using, for example, a server computer. This management device 3 includes, for example, a communication unit 31, a display unit 32, a recording unit 33, and a control unit 34.

[0078] (Configuration - Management system - Management device - Communication unit) The communication unit 31 in FIG. 1 is a communication means for communicating with external devices (the reading device 1 and the measuring device 2 in FIG. 1).

[0079] (Configuration - Management system - Management device - Display unit) The display unit 32 in FIGS. 1 and 6 is a display means for displaying information, and can be configured using, for example, a known display.

[0080] (Configuration - Management System - Management Device - Recording Unit) The recording unit 33 is a storage means (first storage means, second storage means, third storage means) that stores programs and various data necessary for the operation of the management device 3, and can be configured using, for example, various types of memory or a hard disk, etc.

[0081] The recording unit 33 stores, for example, agricultural product-related information, drawing information, candidate route position information, and current route position information.

[0082] (Configuration - Management system - Management device - Recording unit - Agricultural product-related information) 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of agricultural product-related information. The agricultural product-related information is information relating to the harvest of tomatoes, which are the target agricultural product, and for example, the information items shown in FIG. 7 are mutually associated.

[0083] The date information in FIG. 7 is information indicating the time of harvest (for example, the date in this embodiment) (e.g., "20230801" indicating August 1, 2023 in FIG. 7). The time information in FIG. 7 is information indicating the time of harvest (e.g., "1010" indicating 10:10 in FIG. 7).

[0084] The harvest location information in Figure 7 is information indicating the aforementioned harvest location, and consists of information on the items "building," "bench," and "section" (in Figure 7, "building" = "1," "bench" = "1," and "section" = "1," etc., indicating the aforementioned "1-1-1" (information indicating the first section of the first bench in building 1)).

[0085] The variety information in FIG. 7 is information indicating the variety mentioned above (e.g., "Variety A" in FIG. 7). The weight information in FIG. 7 is information indicating the weight of the tomato (e.g., "xx" in FIG. 7). Note that, although a numerical value indicating the weight is actually stored as this weight information, for the sake of convenience, it is shown as "xx" in FIG. 7.

[0086] The information at the top of Figure 7 indicates that the date and time of harvest is 10:10 on August 1, 2023, that the harvest location is Section 1 of Bench 1 in Building 1 (i.e., Section 411 in Figure 3), that the variety of the harvested tomatoes is "Variety A," and that the measured weight of the harvested tomatoes (more specifically, the weight of one container full of tomatoes in Container 71 in Figure 4) is "xx."

[0087] The agricultural product-related information may be stored in any manner, but may be stored, for example, by executing the information management process described below.

[0088] (Configuration - Management system - Management device - Recording section - Drawing information) The drawing information in the recording unit 33 in FIG. 1 is information showing a drawing displaying the agricultural facility in FIG. 2, and is, for example, information showing a floor plan as shown in FIG.

[0089] The method for storing this drawing information is arbitrary, but for example, information generated from CAD data showing agricultural facilities, information generated by scanning paper drawings, or information generated based on aerial photographs may be stored based on information obtained from a map information supply application.

[0090] (Configuration - Management System - Management Device - Recording Unit - Candidate Route Location Information) 1 is information indicating the aforementioned passable route (shown by a dashed line in FIG. 2) and the measurement-side candidate positions 510, 520. As the candidate route position information, for example, information that can identify the route corresponding to the passable route and the positions corresponding to the measurement-side candidate positions 510, 520 in the plan view indicated by the aforementioned drawing information is used.

[0091] For example, for the floor plan shown by the drawing information, coordinates are set based on the longitude and latitude of the agricultural facility in Figure 2, and candidate route position information is set using these coordinates (the same applies to current route position information).The floor plan has a predetermined scale, so it is possible to grasp the distance of the actual passable route in the actual agricultural facility in Figure 2 (the distance along the route between any positions on the route) based on the candidate route position information expressed using these coordinates.

[0092] The method for storing this candidate route position information is arbitrary, but for example, the information may be stored by the user inputting the corresponding information (the same applies to the current route position information).

[0093] ===Interpretation of terms=== For example, information indicating a passable route in the candidate route position information may be interpreted as corresponding to "passable route information," and information indicating the measurement side candidate positions 510, 520 in the candidate route position information may be interpreted as corresponding to "candidate placement position information." Also, for example, information indicating a route to the measurement side position 510A indicated by the current route position information, among information indicating a passable route in the candidate route position information, may be interpreted as corresponding to "candidate route information."

[0094] (Configuration - Management System - Management Device - Recording Unit - Current Route Location Information) 1 is set route information, and is information indicating the set route 901 (FIG. 5) and the measurement side position 510A (FIG. 5) described above. As the current route position information, for example, similar to the candidate route position information, information capable of identifying the route corresponding to the set route 901 and the position corresponding to the measurement side position 510A in the plan view indicated by the drawing information described above is used.

[0095] As mentioned above, the floor plan indicated by the drawing information has a predetermined scale, so that it is possible to grasp the distance of the actual set route 901 in the actual agricultural facility in Figure 5 (the distance along the route between any positions on the route) based on the current route position information expressed using the coordinates mentioned above.

[0096] ===Interpretation of terms=== For example, information indicating the set route 901 in the current route position information may be interpreted as equivalent to "set route information."

[0097] (Configuration - Management system - Management device - Control unit) 1 is a control means for controlling the management device 3, and can be configured using, for example, a CPU, RAM, ROM (including a program recorded in the RAM or ROM and executed by the CPU), etc. (The same applies to the control units of other devices.) For example, functionally, the control unit 34 functions as a management means, a first recommendation means, and a second recommendation means.

[0098] ===Management means=== The management means is a means for performing processing to manage the target agricultural products based on the harvest location information read by the reading means, the weight information transmitted by the measuring means, and the set route information stored in the first storage means.

[0099] The management means performs, for example, a first management process that manages the weight of the target agricultural product based on the harvest location and harvest time, a second management process that manages the weight of the target agricultural product based on the type of target agricultural product and harvest time, and a third management process that manages the distance traveled by the worker along the set route.

[0100] ===First Recommendation=== The first recommendation means is a means for recommending some of the multiple candidate routes as the set route for harvesting the target agricultural products based on the harvest location information read by the reading means, the weight information transmitted by the measuring means, and the candidate route information stored in the second storage means.

[0101] ===Second Recommendation=== The second recommendation means is a means for recommending one of a plurality of candidate placement positions as the placement position based on the harvest position information read by the reading means, the weight information transmitted by the measuring means, and the candidate placement position information and passable route information stored in the third storage means.

[0102] The processing executed by the control unit 34 will be described later.

[0103] (process) Next, a description will be given of processes executed by the management system 100 configured as described above. For example, an information management process, a first information output process, a second information output process, a third information output process, and a fourth information output process executed by the management device 3 will be described.

[0104] (Processing - Information Management Processing) First, the information management process will be described. Figure 8 is a flowchart of the information management process (in the following description of each process, steps will be abbreviated as "S"). The information management process is, in outline, a process for storing the agricultural product-related information in Figure 7.

[0105] This information management process can be executed at any timing, and is executed repeatedly. The following description will begin with the start of the process.

[0106] This information management process is executed in "<Step 4>" of the above-mentioned "(Harvesting Procedure)." Here, for example, a case will be described in which, by carrying out the above-mentioned "<Step 1>" to "<Step 3>," a container 71 containing harvested tomatoes and cards 72 of "1-1-1" and "Variety A" is carried to measurement side position 510A in Fig. 5, and the information in the top row of Fig. 7 is stored.

[0107] ===SA1=== 8, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 acquires information from each device. Specifically, although this is optional, it acquires weight information from the measuring device 2, and also acquires harvest position information and variety information from the reading device 1.

[0108] In detail, at the measurement side position 510A in Figure 5, an operator removes a card 72 from a container 71 containing tomatoes and the card 72, then places the container 71 containing the tomatoes on the measurement unit 22 (Figures 1 and 6) of the measuring device 2, and then performs an operation to read the two-dimensional code 721 (Figure 6) attached to the removed card 72 using the reading unit 12 of the reading device 1.

[0109] In this case, the measuring unit 22 of the measuring device 2 measures the weight of the tomatoes and the container 71 placed thereon, and calculates the weight of the tomatoes alone by subtracting a predetermined weight corresponding to the container 71 from the measured weight (i.e., measuring the weight of the tomatoes alone). Next, the measuring device 2 transmits weight information indicating the calculated weight of the tomatoes alone to the management device 3.

[0110] In addition, the reading device 1 reads the harvest location information and variety information indicated by the two-dimensional code 721 attached to the aforementioned card 72 from the two-dimensional code 721, and transmits the read harvest location information and variety information to the management device 3.

[0111] On the other hand, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 receives and acquires the weight information transmitted from the measuring device 2, and also receives and acquires the harvest position information and variety information transmitted from the reading device 1.

[0112] Here, for example, if the measuring device 2 measures "xx" as the weight of tomatoes alone and transmits weight information indicating "xx," and the reading device 1 reads and transmits "1-1-1" and "A variety" from the "1-1-1" and "A variety" cards 72, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 receives and acquires "xx" as weight information, and also receives and acquires "1-1-1" and "A variety" as harvest location information and variety information.

[0113] ===SA2=== 8, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 displays the information acquired in SA1 on the display unit 32. Note that the display format here is arbitrary, but for example, the information is displayed in a predetermined display format so that a viewer can understand the content.

[0114] ===SA3=== At SA3 in FIG. 8, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 stores the agricultural product-related information in FIG. 7 based on the information acquired at SA1.

[0115] Specifically, the current date and time are identified using any method (for example, a method using a timing means (not shown) such as a counter provided in the management device 3), and information indicating the identified date and time is stored as the date information and time information in Figure 7.In addition, the harvest location information, variety information, and weight information obtained by SA1 are stored as information of the same name in Figure 7.

[0116] In particular, harvest location information is stored as information for each of the items "ridge," "bench," and "plot," as shown in Figure 7. In addition, date information and time information are stored as information indicating the date and time of harvest.

[0117] Here, for example, if the date and time are specified as August 1, 2023 and 10:10, "1-1-1", "A type", and "xx" are obtained in SA1, and the information in the top row of Figure 7 is stored.

[0118] The information at the top of Figure 7 makes it possible to understand that, through a single harvesting operation (putting the tomatoes harvested in section 411 (Figure 3) on bench 41 in Figure 5 into one container 71 and transporting the tomatoes contained in container 71 from bench-side reference position 410 to measurement-side position 510A along set path 901), at 10:10 on August 1, 2023, a weight of "xx" tomatoes of "variety A" grown in section 411 (Figure 3) on bench 41 in Figure 5 were harvested.

[0119] In addition, in this SA3, for example, weight information is stored in association with harvest location information, date information, and time information, so it can be said that the weight of tomatoes is managed based on the harvest location and harvest time, and the processing of this SA3 can be interpreted as equivalent to the ``first management process.''

[0120] (Processing - First information output processing) Next, the first information output process will be described. The first information output process is generally a process for outputting information related to weight.

[0121] The timing of execution of this first information output process is arbitrary; for example, the process is executed when a predetermined operation to start the process (such as an operation using an input device (mouse, keyboard, etc.) not shown, or an operation performed via a terminal device) is performed after the agricultural product-related information in Figure 7 has been accumulated, and the description will begin from the point at which the process has started (the same applies to the second to fourth information output processes).

[0122] Specifically, the following first to third steps are executed.

[0123] ===Step 1=== In a first step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 acquires information from the agricultural product-related information in Fig. 7. The information acquired here is arbitrary, but for example, the configuration may be such that information that matches conditions specified by the user is acquired. Alternatively, as a variation, the configuration may be such that information that matches predetermined conditions (for example, acquiring information associated with date information indicating a date within the last 10 days) is acquired.

[0124] Here, for example, if the current date is August 20, 2023, and the user uses an input device (not shown) to input a condition to acquire each piece of information associated with date information indicating a date within the most recent month, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 will refer to the agricultural product-related information in Figure 7 and acquire each piece of information associated with date information indicating a date within the most recent month of August 20, 2023.

[0125] Then, for example, the combination of information in the top row of Figure 7 (i.e., the combination of "Date Information" = "20230801", "Time Information" = "1010", "Building" = "1", "Bench" = "1", "Plot" = "1", "Variety Information" = "Variety A", and "Weight Information" = "xx"), the combination of information in the second row, the combination of information in the third row, etc. will be obtained.

[0126] ===Second Step=== In the second step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 performs a process to manage the weight of the tomatoes based on the information acquired in the first step. Although the specific process is arbitrary, for example, the following first process or second process may be performed.

[0127] =First process= The first process is, in outline, a process of tallying the weight of harvested tomatoes based on the harvest position. In this process, the process focuses on the harvest position information (i.e., "ridge," "bench," and "plot") in the information acquired in the first step, creates groups of information with common harvest position information, and tallies the weights indicated by the weight information in the information for each group, thereby tallying the weight of tomatoes at each harvest position.

[0128] For example, although not shown in FIG. 7, if the information acquired in the first step includes information (also referred to as "example information") in which harvest location information = "1-1-1" (i.e., "ridge" = "1," "bench" = "1," "plot" = "1") is associated with weight information = "x11," a group containing the information at the top of FIG. 7 and the "example information" is created as the group for harvest location information = "1-1-1." Since "xx" and "x11" are present as weight information in the information included in the group, "xx" and "x11" are added together, and the result of the addition is regarded as the total weight (aggregation result) of the tomatoes at the harvest location indicated by harvest location information = "1-1-1." Similar processing is also performed for harvest location information = "1-1-2," "1-1-3," etc.

[0129] =Second process= The second process is roughly a process of tallying the weight of harvested tomatoes based on variety. In this process, the process focuses on variety information in the information acquired in the first step, creates groups of information with common variety information, and tallys up the weights indicated by the weight information in the information for each group, thereby tallying up the weight of tomatoes corresponding to each variety.

[0130] Here, for example, a group is created for the group of variety information = "Variety B" in Figure 7, with the information in the second and third rows of Figure 7 as components, and since "yy" and "zz" etc. exist as weight information in the information included in that group, "yy" and "zz" etc. are added together, and the result of the addition is taken as the total weight (aggregation result) of tomatoes corresponding to "Variety B". Note that similar processing is also performed for variety information = "Variety A", etc.

[0131] =Other processing= The system is not limited to the first and second processes described above, and may be configured to perform other processes. For example, the system may be configured to tally weights based on the date information or time information in Fig. 7, or based on only one or two of the "ridge," "bench," and "plot" in Fig. 7, or based on both the harvest location information and the variety information.

[0132] The user may specify the reference information, and the weight may be calculated based on the information specified by the user. Alternatively, the system may be configured to perform calculations other than calculations (for example, calculations to calculate statistical values ​​including the average, median, etc.).

[0133] =Interpretation of terms= In addition, in the first step processing and the second step second processing, it can be said that the weight of tomatoes is managed based on date information and variety information, for example, and these processes can be interpreted as corresponding to the ``second management process.''

[0134] ===Third Step=== In the third step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 outputs information indicating the processing result of the second step.

[0135] Here, for example, information indicating the results of tallying the weight of tomatoes at each harvest position, the results of tallying the weight of tomatoes corresponding to each variety, etc. The specific manner in which the information is output is arbitrary, but for example, it may be configured to be displayed on the display unit 32, output as data in a predetermined format, or output as audio via a speaker (not shown) (the same applies to the output of information in other processes).

[0136] Based on this output information, it is possible to obtain information regarding the weight of the harvested tomatoes.

[0137] (Processing - Second information output processing) Next, the second information output process will be described. The second information output process is, in outline, a process for outputting the distance traveled by the worker on the set route 901 during the harvesting work.

[0138] Specifically, the following first to fourth steps are executed.

[0139] ===Step 1=== In the first step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 performs the same process as the first step of the above-mentioned "first information output process." That is, for example, information corresponding to the most recent month is acquired from the agricultural product-related information in FIG.

[0140] ===Second Step=== In a second step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 identifies the distance traveled by a worker on the set route 901 in one harvesting operation in the agricultural facility of Fig. 5. The specific details are arbitrary, but as described above, the control unit 34 identifies the distance using each piece of information, focusing on the fact that the distance of the actual set route 901 in the actual agricultural facility of Fig. 5 (the distance along the route between any positions on the route) can be determined based on the map information and current route position information in the recording unit 33 of Fig. 1.

[0141] Here, for example, the distance on the set path 901 from the bench side reference position 410 to the measurement side position 510A (referred to as the "first distance D11"), the distance on the set path 901 from the bench side reference position 420 to the measurement side position 510A (referred to as the "second distance D12"), and the distance on the set path 901 from the bench side reference position 430 to the measurement side position 510A (referred to as the "third distance D13") are identified.

[0142] As a variation, for example, information indicating the "first distance D11" to "third distance D13" may be recorded in advance in the recording unit 33, and the information may be used to identify the distance.

[0143] ===Third Step=== In the third step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 determines the total distance traveled by the worker from each bench-side reference position during harvesting work (the distance traveled by the worker along the set route 901) based on the information acquired in the first step and the distance determined in the second step.

[0144] Specifically, although this is optional, it is assumed that the worker uses only one container 71 (FIG. 4) during one harvesting operation. In this case, each row of the produce-related information in FIG. 7 corresponds to one harvesting operation by the worker (i.e., one movement of the worker from one of the bench-side reference positions 410, 420, or 430 to the measurement-side position 510A). That is, for example, the information in the top row of FIG. 7 corresponds to one movement of the worker from the bench-side reference position 410 to the measurement-side position 510A, since the harvesting position information is "1-1-1." The following processing is performed with this in mind.

[0145] In detail, first, in the agricultural product-related information (specifically, information corresponding to the most recent month) in Figure 7 obtained in the first step, we focus on the "ridge" and "bench" in the harvest location information, create groups of information that share "ridge" and "bench," and identify the number of pieces of information that make up each group to identify the number of movements made by workers.

[0146] Here, for example, with regard to the information in the top to fourth rows of Figure 7, the number of pieces of information that make up the group of building = "1" and bench = "1" is identified as three (information in the top to third rows of Figure 7), and the number of pieces of information that make up the group of building = "1" and bench = "2" is identified as one (information in the fourth row of Figure 7).

[0147] Next, the movement start point corresponding to each group is identified as either bench-side reference position 410, 420, or 430. Specifically, when building = "1" and bench = "1", bench-side reference position 410 is identified as the movement start point, when bench = "2", bench-side reference position 420 is identified as the movement start point, and when bench = "3", bench-side reference position 430 is identified as the movement start point.

[0148] Here, for example, bench-side reference position 410 is identified as the movement start point corresponding to the group of building = "1" and bench = "1", and bench-side reference position 420 is identified as the movement start point corresponding to the group of building = "1" and bench = "2".

[0149] Next, from the distances identified in the second step, the distance corresponding to the identified bench-side reference position is selected, and the total distance traveled by the worker from each bench-side reference position is determined by multiplying the selected distance by the number identified above.

[0150] Here, for example, "first distance D11" is selected as the distance corresponding to the bench-side reference position 410, and as described above, three pieces of information are identified as the number of times that the group corresponding to the bench-side reference position 410 consists of three movements from the bench-side reference position 410 to the measurement-side position 510A. Therefore, "first distance D11" x "3" is calculated, and the result of the calculation is used to identify the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference position 410 during harvesting work in the most recent month.

[0151] Similarly, the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference positions 420 and 430 during harvesting work in the most recent month is also identified.

[0152] ===Fourth Step=== In the fourth step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 outputs information indicating the processing result of the third step.

[0153] Based on this output information, it is possible to determine the total distance traveled from each bench-side reference position when harvesting tomatoes. For example, even though set route 901 is set to pass through entrance / exit E1 in Figure 5, the total distance traveled from bench-side reference position 410, which is closer to entrance / exit E2, is relatively long, and it becomes possible to consider whether it is possible to shorten the total distance traveled (the total distance traveled from bench-side reference positions 410, 420, and 430) by changing the set route.

[0154] In the third step, the distance traveled by the worker on the set route 901 is identified, and therefore the processing in this third step may be interpreted as corresponding to the "third management processing."

[0155] (Processing - Third information output processing) Next, the third information output process will be described. The third information output process is generally a process for recommending that some of the multiple passable routes be set as a set route for harvesting tomatoes.

[0156] Specifically, the following first to fourth steps are executed.

[0157] ===Step 1=== In the first step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 performs the same process as the first step of the above-mentioned "first information output process." That is, for example, information corresponding to the most recent month is acquired from the agricultural product-related information in FIG.

[0158] ===Second Step=== In the second step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 determines the distances from the bench-side reference positions 410, 420, 430 to the measurement-side position 510A for the passable routes leading to the measurement-side position 510A in Figure 5 among the first to fourth passable routes described above in the agricultural facility of Figure 2 (i.e., the first passable route (a passable route from the bench-side reference position 410, etc., via the entrance / exit E1 of Building 1 and branch point B1 to the measurement-side candidate position 510 within building 51)) and the third passable route (a passable route from the bench-side reference position 410, etc., via the entrance / exit E2 of Building 1 and branch points B2 and B1 to the measurement-side candidate position 510 within building 51).

[0159] The specifics are arbitrary, but as mentioned above, based on the map information and candidate route position information in the recording unit 33 of Figure 1, it is possible to grasp the distance of the actual passable route (the distance along the route between any positions on the route) in the actual agricultural facility of Figure 2, and the like, and the route is identified using each of the information.

[0160] Here, for example, the distance on the first passable route from the bench side reference positions 410, 420, 430 to the measurement side position 510A is the same as that identified in the second step of the "second information output process", i.e., the "first distance D11", "second distance D12", and "third distance D13" are identified.

[0161] In addition, for example, the distance on the third passable route from the bench side reference position 410 to the measurement side position 510A (referred to as the "first distance D31"), the distance on the third passable route from the bench side reference position 420 to the measurement side position 510A (referred to as the "second distance D32"), and the distance on the third passable route from the bench side reference position 430 to the measurement side position 510A (referred to as the "third distance D33") are identified.

[0162] ===Third Step=== In the third step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 determines the total distance traveled by the worker when traveling along the first passable route during harvesting work, and the total distance traveled by the worker when traveling along the third passable route during harvesting work, based on the information acquired in the first step and the distance determined in the second step.

[0163] <Total travel distance of the first passable route> Specifically, although this is optional, first, in the same manner as in the processing of the third step of the "second information output processing," the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference position 410 during harvesting work in the most recent month when moving along the first passable route, the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference position 420, and the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference position 430 are identified, and an operation is performed to add up all of the identified totals, and the result of the operation is identified as the total distance traveled by the worker when moving along the first passable route during harvesting work.

[0164] For example, in the information from the top to fourth rows in Figure 7, there are three pieces of information with bench="1", one piece of information with bench="2", and zero pieces of information with bench="3", so the total distance traveled by the worker from each of the bench side reference positions 410, 420, and 430 is "first distance D11" x "3", "second distance D12" x "1", and "third distance D13" x "0", and these total values ​​are determined as the total distance traveled by the worker when traveling along the first passable route during harvesting work.

[0165] <Total travel distance of the third passable route> Next, in the same manner as the processing when moving along the first passable route described above, the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference position 410 during harvesting work in the most recent month when moving along the third passable route, the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference position 420, and the total distance traveled by the worker from the bench-side reference position 430 are determined, and a calculation is performed to add up all the determined totals, and the result of the calculation is determined as the total distance traveled by the worker when moving along the third passable route during harvesting work.

[0166] For example, for the information in the top to fourth rows of Figure 7, the calculation is the same as above: "first distance D31" x "3", "second distance D32" x "1", and "third distance D33" x "0", and the sum of these values ​​is determined as the total travel distance of the worker when traveling along the third passable route during harvesting work.

[0167] ===Fourth Step=== In the fourth step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 selects a portion of the passable routes that it recommends as the set route from among the multiple passable routes leading to the measurement side position 510A in Figure 5 based on the processing results of the third step, and recommends the selected passable route.

[0168] Specifically, although this is optional, it is recommended to select the passable route that minimizes the total travel distance identified in the third step and set the selected passable route as the set route.

[0169] Here, for example, a case will be described in which the total travel distance of the third passable route is shorter than the total travel distance of the first passable route. In this case, the passable route with the shortest total travel distance identified in the third step is the third passable route, so the third passable route is selected, and information recommending that the third passable route be set as the set route is output.

[0170] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an agricultural facility. Note that FIG. 9 illustrates a set route 902 that is different from that in FIG. 5. Then, if a user (administrator, etc.) determines to set the third passable route as the set route based on the above-described output information (i.e., a recommendation from the management device 3), as shown in FIG. 9, the user sets the set route 902 and operates to travel along the set route 902 at harvest time. Then, by inputting information to the management device 3, information indicating the set route 902 (FIG. 9), rather than the set route 901 (FIG. 5), is stored as current route position information in the recording unit 33.

[0171] (Processing - 4th information output processing) Next, the fourth information output process will be described. The fourth information output process is, in outline, a process of recommending that one of a plurality of candidate placement positions be set as the placement position of the measurement device 2, etc.

[0172] Specifically, the following first to fourth steps are executed.

[0173] ===Step 1=== In the first step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 performs the same process as the first step of the above-mentioned "first information output process." That is, for example, information corresponding to the most recent month is acquired from the agricultural product-related information in FIG.

[0174] ===Second Step=== In a second step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 identifies the distances from the bench-side reference positions 410, 420, 430 to the measurement-side candidate positions 510, 520 for the first to fourth passable routes in the agricultural facility of FIG.

[0175] The specifics are arbitrary, but as mentioned above, based on the map information and candidate route position information in the recording unit 33 of Figure 1, it is possible to grasp the distance of the actual passable route (the distance between any positions on the route) in the actual agricultural facility of Figure 2, and the information is used to identify the route.

[0176] Here, for example, since the measurement side position 510A and the measurement side candidate position 510 in Figure 5 are mutually the same position, the distance on the first passable route from the bench side reference positions 410, 420, 430 to the measurement side candidate position 510 is the same as that identified in the second step of the "third information output process", i.e., "first distance D11", "second distance D12", and "third distance D13", and the distance on the third passable route is also the same, and "first distance D31", "second distance D32", and "third distance D33" are identified.

[0177] Furthermore, for example, for the second passable route (i.e., the passable route from the bench side reference position 410, etc., via the entrance / exit E1 of Building 1, branch points B1 and B2, to the measurement side candidate position 520 within building 52), the distance on the second passable route from the bench side reference position 410 to the measurement side candidate position 520 (referred to as the "first distance D21"), the distance on the second passable route from the bench side reference position 420 to the measurement side candidate position 520 (referred to as the "second distance D22"), and the distance on the second passable route from the bench side reference position 430 to the measurement side candidate position 520 (referred to as the "third distance D23") are identified.

[0178] Furthermore, for example, for the fourth passable route (i.e., a passable route from the bench side reference position 410, etc., via entrance / exit E2 of Building 1 and branch point B2 to the measurement side candidate position 520 within building 52), the distance on the fourth passable route from the bench side reference position 410 to the measurement side candidate position 520 (referred to as the "first distance D41"), the distance on the fourth passable route from the bench side reference position 420 to the measurement side candidate position 520 (referred to as the "second distance D42"), and the distance on the fourth passable route from the bench side reference position 430 to the measurement side candidate position 520 (referred to as the "third distance D43") are identified.

[0179] ===Third Step=== In the third step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 determines the total travel distance of the workers when traveling along each of the first to fourth passable routes during harvesting work, based on the information acquired in the first step and the distance determined in the second step.

[0180] Specifically, although this is optional, the same processing as the processing in the third step of the "third information output processing" is performed.

[0181] <Total travel distance of the first passable route> Here, for example, as mentioned above, for the information in the top to fourth rows of Figure 7, there are three pieces of information with bench="1", one piece of information with bench="2", and zero pieces of information with bench="3", so the total distance traveled by the worker from each of the bench side reference positions 410, 420, and 430 is "first distance D11" x "3", "second distance D12" x "1", and "third distance D13" x "0", and these sums are determined as the total distance traveled by the worker when traveling along the first passable route during harvesting work.

[0182] <Total travel distance of the second passable route> Furthermore, for example, the information from the top to fourth rows in Figure 7 is calculated in the same manner as described above: "first distance D21" x "3", "second distance D22" x "1", "third distance D23" x "0", and the sum of these values ​​is determined as the total travel distance of the worker when traveling along the second passable route during harvesting work.

[0183] <Total travel distance of the third passable route> Furthermore, for example, the information from the top to fourth rows in Figure 7 is calculated in the same manner as described above: "first distance D31" x "3," "second distance D32" x "1," and "third distance D33" x "0," and the sum of these values ​​is determined as the total travel distance of the worker when traveling along the third passable route during harvesting work.

[0184] <Total travel distance of the fourth passable route> Furthermore, for example, the information from the top to fourth rows in Figure 7 is calculated in the same manner as described above: "first distance D41" x "3," "second distance D42" x "1," and "third distance D43" x "0," and the sum of these values ​​is determined as the total travel distance of the worker when traveling along the fourth passable route during harvesting work.

[0185] ===Fourth Step=== In the fourth step, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 selects one measurement side candidate position to be recommended as the measurement side position from among the multiple measurement side candidate positions indicated by the candidate route position information in the recording unit 33 of Figure 1 based on the processing result of the third step, and recommends the selected measurement side candidate position and also recommends the set route.

[0186] Specifically, although this is optional, it is recommended to select the passable route that minimizes the total travel distance identified in step 3 and set the measurement side candidate location corresponding to the selected passable route as the measurement side location. In this case, it is also recommended to set the passable route that minimizes the total travel distance as the set route.

[0187] Note that the "measurement side candidate position corresponding to the passable route" refers to the measurement side candidate position that is the end point of the passable route, and in the example of Figure 2, it indicates either measurement side candidate position 510 or measurement side candidate position 520.

[0188] Here, for example, a case will be described in which the total travel distance of the fourth passable route is the shortest among the total travel distances of the first to fourth passable routes. In this case, the passable route with the shortest total travel distance identified in the third step is the fourth passable route, so the fourth passable route is selected, and information is output recommending that the measurement-side candidate position 520 corresponding to the fourth passable route be used as the set route.

[0189] In this case, for example, information recommending that the fourth passable route, which has the shortest total travel distance, be set as the set route is also output.

[0190] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an agricultural facility. Note that FIG. 10 illustrates a set route 903 and a measurement-side position 520A that are different from those in FIG. 5. Then, if a user (administrator, etc.) determines, based on the output information (i.e., a recommendation from the management device 3), to set the measurement-side candidate position 520 as the measurement-side position and to set the fourth passable route as the set route, as shown in FIG. 10, the user places the reading device 1, the measuring device 2, and the management device 3 at the measurement-side position 520A, sets the set route 903, and operates the harvesting along the set route 903. Then, by inputting information to the management device 3, information indicating the set route 903 ( FIG. 10 ) and the measurement-side position 520A ( FIG. 10 ), rather than the set route 901 ( FIG. 5 ) and the measurement-side position 510A ( FIG. 5 ), is stored as current route position information in the recording unit 33.

[0191] (Effects of the embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to appropriately manage, for example, tomatoes by performing a process for managing the target agricultural product, namely, tomatoes, based on the harvest position information read by the reading device 1, the weight information transmitted by the measuring device 2, and the current route position information stored in the recording unit 33. In particular, it is possible to appropriately manage, for example, tomatoes by performing the first to third management processes.

[0192] Furthermore, the two-dimensional code 721 is provided at the bench-side reference position 410 or the like before the tomatoes are harvested (i.e., placed at the bench-side reference position 410 or the like), and when the tomatoes are harvested, it is moved from the bench-side reference position 410 or the like to the measurement-side position together with the harvested tomatoes. Furthermore, by indicating the set route from the bench-side reference position 410 or the like to the measurement-side position, it becomes possible to appropriately manage the movement of workers during harvesting, for example, using the two-dimensional code 721.

[0193] Furthermore, by recommending that some of the passable routes among multiple passable routes be set as the set route for harvesting tomatoes, it becomes possible, for example, to set the set route appropriately, thereby making it possible to improve the efficiency of tomato harvesting work.

[0194] Furthermore, by recommending that one of a plurality of candidate measurement side positions be selected as the measurement side position, it becomes possible to appropriately set the measurement side position, for example, thereby making it possible to improve the efficiency of tomato harvesting work.

[0195] [Modifications to the embodiment] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configurations and means of the present invention can be modified and improved as desired within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention as set forth in the claims. Such modifications will be described below.

[0196] (About the problem to be solved and the effects of the invention) First, the problems that the invention aims to solve and the effects of the invention are not limited to those described above, and may vary depending on the implementation environment of the invention and the details of the configuration, and may solve only some of the problems described above or achieve only some of the effects described above.

[0197] (Regarding decentralization and integration) Furthermore, the electrical components described above are functional concepts and do not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown in the drawings. In other words, the specific form of distribution or integration of each part is not limited to that shown in the drawings, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed or integrated in any unit. Furthermore, the term "device" in this application is not limited to a single device, but includes a device configured from multiple devices.

[0198] For example, the structure of the information recorded in the recording unit 33 in Fig. 1 may be changed as desired. Also, some or all of the functions of the management device 3 may be configured to be realized by a distributed cloud computer or the like, or may be configured to be realized by any terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

[0199] Also, for example, some or all of the functions of the reading device 1 may be configured using any of the above-mentioned terminal devices. In this case, some or all of the functions of the reading device 1 and some or all of the functions of the management device 3 may be configured to be realized using the same terminal device.

[0200] (shape, numbers, structure, time series) The components illustrated in the embodiments and drawings may be modified and improved as desired within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention in terms of shape, numerical value, or the structure or chronological relationship of multiple components.

[0201] (Environmental Information) Furthermore, the management system 100 of the above embodiment may be configured to perform processing related to environmental information.

[0202] "Environmental information" refers to information indicating the environment in which the target agricultural product, tomatoes, are grown, and is a concept that includes, for example, information indicating the temperature, humidity, amount of sunlight, water temperature, and fertilizer concentration within Building 1 of the agricultural facility in Figure 2.

[0203] (Environmental Information - Composition) The specific implementation method is arbitrary, but for example, assume that environmental sensors (devices capable of transmitting environmental information indicating their own measurement results to an external device (such as the management device 3 in FIG. 1) via a predetermined communication method such as wireless) are installed in Building 1 (FIG. 2), which are various sensors for measuring air temperature, humidity, amount of sunlight, water temperature, and fertilizer concentration. In addition, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 in FIG. 1 may also function as an acquisition means, and the management means of the control unit 34 may also perform the fourth management process.

[0204] Unless otherwise specified, the configuration of each component of the management system 100 is the same as that described in the embodiment (the same applies to other modified examples).

[0205] The acquisition means is means for acquiring environmental information indicating the environment in which the target agricultural product is grown. The fourth management process is a process for correlating the environmental information acquired by the acquisition means with the weight of the harvested target agricultural product.

[0206] (Environmental Information Processing) Here, for example, an environmental sensor (not shown) installed in, for example, Building 1 in the agricultural facility in Figure 2 is configured to take measurements at predetermined time intervals (5 seconds to 10 minutes, etc.) and transmit environmental information indicating the measurement results (for example, information indicating temperature, humidity, and amount of sunlight) to the management device 3.

[0207] Regarding processing, when the control unit 34 of the management device 3 receives environmental information from an environmental sensor (not shown) in Building 1 of the agricultural facility in Figure 2, it acquires the received environmental information, determines the current date and time using any method (such as a method using a timing means (not shown)), and records the acquired environmental information and date and time information indicating the determined date and time in the recording unit 33 in association with each other.

[0208] This process is repeatedly executed at predetermined time intervals, and therefore, the recording unit 33 stores, for example, environmental information and date and time information in association with each other.

[0209] Then, in SA3 in Fig. 8 of the embodiment, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 further associates and stores environmental information with the information of each item in Fig. 7. Specifically, in SA3 in Fig. 8, after identifying the current date and time, the control unit 34 identifies environmental information associated with date and time information indicating the date and time closest to the identified current date and time from among the environmental information stored in the recording unit 33, and associates the identified environmental information with the information of each item in Fig. 7 and stores it as information of one item in the agricultural produce-related information.

[0210] Here, for example, a case will be described in which environmental information = "En1" and date and time information = "T1", environmental information = "En2" and date and time information = "T2", etc. are stored in the recording unit 33.

[0211] In this case, in SA1 of Figure 8, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 acquires "1-1-1", "A variety", and "xx" as harvest location information, variety information, and weight information, and if the current date and time (date and time) identified in SA3 is 10:10 on August 1, 2023, it identifies "En2", which is the environmental information associated with the date and time information (for example, "T2") indicating the date and time closest to the current date and time of 10:10 on August 1, 2023, from the recorded environmental information ("En1", "En2", etc.) mentioned above, and associates the identified environmental information "En2" with the information of each item in Figure 7 and stores it as information of one item in the agricultural product-related information.

[0212] Specifically, in the information at the top of Figure 7, "environmental information" = "En2" is also associated and stored. By processing in this way, the weight information and environmental information are associated with each other. This associated information makes it possible to understand the relationship between the cultivation environment and the yield.

[0213] With this configuration, by correlating the environmental information with the weight of the tomatoes, which are the target agricultural products, it becomes possible to appropriately manage the tomato cultivation environment, for example.

[0214] The above-mentioned environmental sensors may be configured to measure environmental information for the entire building No. 1, or multiple environmental sensors may be configured to measure each harvest position. In the latter case, each of the multiple environmental sensors may be configured to transmit harvest position information indicating the harvest position it is measuring along with the environmental information, so that the management device 3 can grasp the environmental information corresponding to each harvest position. In this case, the management device 3 may be configured to focus on the harvest position information in Figure 7 and store the environmental information for the corresponding harvest position.

[0215] (Regarding cultivation management) Furthermore, the management system 100 of the above embodiment may be configured to manage the cultivation of tomatoes, which are the target agricultural products.

[0216] "Managing tomato cultivation" is a concept that indicates managing all matters related to tomato cultivation, and includes, for example, encouraging the purchase of seedlings.

[0217] (Cultivation Management - Composition) The specific implementation method is arbitrary, but for example, the management means of the control unit 34 in the management device 3 may be configured to also perform the fifth management process.

[0218] The fifth management process is a process for managing the cultivation of the target agricultural product based on the weight information transmitted by the measuring means and predetermined standards for cultivating the target agricultural product.

[0219] The "predetermined standard" is a standard for cultivating the target agricultural product, for example, a standard for managing the cultivation of tomatoes. The specific content of the "predetermined standard" is arbitrary, but for example, it is a standard regarding the purchase schedule of tomato seedlings, and as an example, we will explain a case where the standard is such that if more than "zzz" (weight) of each variety is harvested after the reference time (for example, the most recent purchase date of seedlings of each variety), the purchase of seedlings of that variety is encouraged.

[0220] (Cultivation Management - Processing) Here, for example, we will assume that information indicating the most recent purchase date of "Variety B", such as June 1, 2023, is recorded in the recording unit 33 as the reference time, and explain an example of encouraging the purchase of seedlings of this "Variety B".

[0221] The control unit 34 of the management device 3 refers to the agricultural product-related information in Figure 7, calculates the total weight indicated by the weight information associated with date information after June 1, 2023, which is the aforementioned reference time, and variety information for "Variety B," compares the calculated total weight with "zzz" in the specified standard, and, based on the comparison result, encourages the purchase of "Variety B" seedlings.

[0222] Specifically, if the total weight is less than "zzz," it is determined that the harvest of "variety B" is not very large and that there are many tomatoes being cultivated in the agricultural facility, meaning that it is not near the time to plant "variety B" seedlings, and the purchase of "variety B" seedlings is not encouraged. On the other hand, if the total weight is "zzz" or more, it is determined that the harvest of "variety B" is relatively large and that there are only a few tomatoes being cultivated in the agricultural facility, meaning that it is near the time to plant "variety B" seedlings, and the purchase of "variety B" seedlings is encouraged.

[0223] The process of encouraging the purchase of seedlings by the control unit 34 of the management device 3 is optional, and may involve, for example, sending information (various messages, alerts, etc.) encouraging the purchase of seedlings to the terminal device (smartphone, etc.) of the purchasing officer, or displaying the information on the display unit 32.

[0224] By configuring in this manner, it becomes possible to appropriately manage the cultivation of tomatoes, for example, by managing the cultivation of tomatoes based on weight information and predetermined standards for cultivating the target agricultural product, tomatoes.

[0225] Although the case where the processing is performed taking into consideration the type of product has been described here, the processing may be performed without taking into consideration the type of product.

[0226] (About variety information) Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where variety information is read from the two-dimensional code 721 (FIG. 4) has been described, but this is not limiting. For example, the recording unit 33 of the management device 3 may store master information that correlates harvest position information and variety information with each other (for example, information including a combination of "1-1-1" and "Variety A," a combination of "1-1-2" and "Variety B," a combination of "1-1-3" and "Variety B," etc.), and the variety information may be identified using the master information.

[0227] For example, the two-dimensional code 721 (FIG. 4) may be configured to indicate only the harvest position information out of the harvest position information or the variety information. Then, SA1 in FIG. 8 may be configured to perform the following processing.

[0228] Specifically, the reading device 1 reads the harvest position information indicated by the two-dimensional code 721 from the two-dimensional code 721 and transmits the read harvest position information to the management device 3. Meanwhile, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 receives and acquires the harvest position information transmitted from the reading device 1, then refers to the master information described above to identify the variety information associated with the acquired harvest position information, acquires the identified variety information, and then performs the same processing as described in the embodiment.

[0229] (Agricultural product-related information) Furthermore, for example, the control unit 34 of the management device 3 may be configured to output the agricultural product-related information of FIG. 7 at any timing (for example, at the timing when a request is made by the user).

[0230] (2D code) Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the harvest position information and the like are read from the two-dimensional code 721, but this is not limiting. For example, the card 72 may be provided with an IC chip that performs short-range wireless communication, and the harvest position information and variety information may be stored in the IC chip, and the harvest position information and variety information may be read from the IC chip. In this case, the management system 100 may use a device having an IC chip reading function via short-range wireless communication as the reader 1 so that this technology can be applied.

[0231] In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional code 721 is provided on the card 72, but this is not limiting. For example, the code may be provided on any object other than the card 72 (for example, an object of any shape such as a cube or sphere, or the container 71 itself).

[0232] (Harvesting location information) In the above embodiment, the case where information on "ridge," "bench," and "plot" is used as harvest position information has been described, but any information may be used depending on the configuration of the agricultural facility to which the technology of the present application is applied. For example, only one of "ridge," "bench," and "plot" or any two of them may be used, or other information (such as coordinate information) may be used.

[0233] (Processing omitted) Furthermore, some of the functions described in the above embodiment may be omitted. For example, the management device 3 in Fig. 1 may be configured to perform only some of the processes described above. As an example, the first management process and the second management process may be omitted, and only the third management process may be performed.

[0234] (Application to other fields) Furthermore, the above-mentioned techniques may be applied to fields other than agriculture (for example, the industrial field, etc.).

[0235] (Features) Furthermore, the features of the above-described embodiment and the features of the modified examples may be combined in any manner.
