[0033] [Configuration of cultivation information] 3, the cultivation management system SY in this embodiment includes a processing device 10. The processing device 10 includes a cultivation information generation unit 11.

[0034] Each captured image 34 (see FIG. 4) acquired by the first camera Ca1, the second camera Ca2, the third camera Ca3, and the fourth camera Ca4 is sent to the cultivation information generation unit 11. The cultivation information generation unit 11 generates cultivation information 30 (see FIG. 4) based on each captured image 34. The cultivation information 30 is information indicating the state of the cultivated plant Q.

[0035] That is, the cultivation management system SY includes a cultivation information generation unit 11 that generates cultivation information 30 indicating the state of the cultivated plant Q based on information input about the cultivated plant Q. In this embodiment, the information input is images captured by a first camera Ca1, a second camera Ca2, a third camera Ca3, and a fourth camera Ca4.

[0036] 3, the cultivation management system SY includes a display device 23. The display device 23 may be, for example, a computer display or a mobile terminal equipped with a touch panel.

[0037] The cultivation information 30 generated by the cultivation information generating unit 11 is sent to the display device 23. Then, as shown in FIG.

[0038] 4, the display device 23 can display a management screen 24 (corresponding to the "display screen" according to the present invention). The management screen 24 has a first display area 30A. The cultivation information 30 is displayed in the first display area 30A.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the cultivation information 30 includes a growth graph 31, a growth message 32, growth numerical information 33, and a captured image .

[0040] That is, the cultivation information 30 includes a captured image 34 of the cultivated plant Q.

[0041] The cultivation information generation unit 11 calculates (or estimates) the number of fruits, LAI (Leaf Area Index), stem diameter, and height of the flowering position of the cultivated plant Q over time based on images 34 captured by the first camera Ca1, the second camera Ca2, the third camera Ca3, and the fourth camera Ca4.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 4, in this embodiment, the number of fruits, LAI, stem diameter, and height of flowering position are included in the growth numerical information 33. The growth numerical information 33 is sent to the display device 23 as part of the cultivation information 30. As shown in Fig. 4, the display device 23 displays the growth numerical information 33 as part of the cultivation information 30.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 4, the growth numerical information 33 includes current numerical information 33a, which is the current growth numerical information 33, and previous year's numerical information 33b, which is the growth numerical information 33 of the previous year.

[0044] Furthermore, the cultivation information generating unit 11 generates a growth graph 31 by plotting the stem diameter and the height of the flowering position of the cultivated plant Q on a graph. The growth graph 31 is a graph showing the growth state of the cultivated plant Q.

[0045] That is, the cultivation information 30 includes a graph showing the growth state of the cultivated plant Q.

[0046] In the growth graph 31 shown in Fig. 4, the black plots indicate the past stem diameters and flowering heights, and the white plots indicate the current (latest) stem diameters and flowering heights.

[0047] The growth graph 31 includes an appropriate region 31a, which indicates the appropriate range of the stem diameter and the height of the flowering position.

[0048] Furthermore, the cultivation information generating unit 11 generates a growth message 32 based on the stem diameter and the height of the flowering position of the cultivated plant Q. The growth message 32 is a message indicating the growth state of the cultivated plant Q.

[0049] That is, the cultivation information 30 includes a message indicating the growth state of the cultivated plant Q.

[0050] The growth message 32 may be, for example, a message indicating whether the growth balance of the cultivated plant Q is appropriate or not.

[0051] 4, the growth graph 31 and the growth message 32 are displayed adjacent to each other on the left and right. The captured image 34 is displayed below the growth graph 31 and the growth message 32. The growth numerical information 33 is displayed below the captured image 34.

[0052] [Configuration of environmental information] 3, the processing device 10 includes an environment prediction unit 12. The cultivation management system SY also includes a data storage unit 21.

[0053] The data storage unit 21 stores weather information (such as temperature and humidity) for the area to which the horticultural facility 1 belongs. The environment prediction unit 12 acquires the weather information from the data storage unit 21. Then, the environment prediction unit 12 predicts the future environment around the cultivated plant Q based on the weather information acquired from the data storage unit 21. Note that a known environmental prediction method may be used for this prediction.

[0054] Then, the environment prediction unit 12 generates environment information 40 (see FIG. 4) indicating the prediction result of the future environment around the cultivated plant Q.

[0055] That is, the cultivation management system SY includes an environment prediction unit 12 that predicts the future environment around the cultivated plant Q.

[0056] The environmental information 40 generated by the environmental prediction unit 12 is sent to the display device 23. Then, as shown in FIG.

[0057] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the management screen 24 has a second display area 40A. The environmental information 40 is displayed in the second display area 40A. The second display area 40A is located to the right of the first display area 30A.

[0058] 4, the environmental information 40 includes a temperature graph 41 and a saturation deficit graph 42. The temperature graph 41 is a graph showing the transition of temperature from the present onwards in the horticultural facility 1. Note that the temperature graph 41 may be a graph showing not only the transition of temperature from the present onwards but also the transition of temperature before the present (past).

[0059] The saturation deficit graph 42 is a graph that shows the transition of the saturation deficit from the present onwards in the horticultural facility 1. Note that the saturation deficit graph 42 may be a graph that shows not only the transition of the saturation deficit from the present onwards but also the transition of the saturation deficit before the present (past).

[0060] The change in temperature from the present onwards within the horticultural facility 1 corresponds to the "future environment around the cultivated plants" and the "change in the environment around the cultivated plants" of the present invention. Also, the change in vapor pressure deficit from the present onwards within the horticultural facility 1 corresponds to the "future environment around the cultivated plants" and the "change in the environment around the cultivated plants" of the present invention.

[0061] The temperature graph 41 and the vapor pressure deficit graph 42 are both graphs that show changes in the environment around the cultivated plant Q. That is, the environmental information 40 includes graphs that show changes in the environment around the cultivated plant Q.

[0062] [Configuration of yield information] As shown in FIG. 3, the processing device 10 has a yield prediction unit 13 (corresponding to the "growth amount prediction unit" according to the present invention). The cultivation management system SY also has an input device 22. The input device 22 may be configured, for example, with a mouse or a keyboard. Note that "yield" and "harvested product amount" in the following explanation are specific examples of "growth amount" according to the present invention.

[0063] The user can input the amount of harvested product from cultivated plant Q in a past crop season (corresponding to the "growth amount in the past crop season" according to the present invention) and the amount of harvested product from cultivated plant Q in the current crop season (corresponding to the "growth amount in the current crop season" according to the present invention) into the cultivation management system SY by operating the input device 22. The input information is stored in the data storage unit 21.

[0064] The "crop season" is the period from the start to the end of cultivation of the cultivated plant Q. For example, when cultivating tomatoes (a specific example of the cultivated plant Q) in the horticultural facility 1, the period from planting to the end of cultivation is the "crop season."

[0065] Furthermore, the "harvested product" in this embodiment is specifically tomato fruit.

[0066] The yield prediction unit 13 acquires information indicating the amount of product harvested from the cultivated plant Q in past crop seasons and information indicating the amount of product harvested from the cultivated plant Q in the current crop season from the data storage unit 21. Then, based on this information, the yield prediction unit 13 predicts the amount of product to be harvested from the cultivated plant Q from now on (corresponding to the "growth amount of the cultivated plant" according to the present invention). Note that a known yield prediction method may be used for this prediction.

[0067] Then, the yield prediction unit 13 generates yield information 50 (corresponding to the "growth amount information" according to the present invention) (see FIG. 4) indicating the prediction result of the amount of harvested product to be harvested from the cultivated plant Q from now on.

[0068] That is, the cultivation management system SY includes a yield prediction unit 13 that predicts the amount of the harvested product to be harvested from the cultivated plant Q (corresponding to the "growth amount of the cultivated plant" according to the present invention).

[0069] The yield information 50 generated by the yield prediction unit 13 is sent to the display device 23. Then, as shown in FIG.

[0070] 4, the management screen 24 has a third display area 50A. The yield information 50 is displayed in the third display area 50A. The third display area 50A is located to the right of the first display area 30A. The third display area 50A is also located below the second display area 40A.

[0071] 4, the yield information 50 includes a yield graph 51. The yield graph 51 is a graph showing the monthly harvest amount in the past and current crop seasons.

[0072] The yield graph 51 includes actual yield information 56 (corresponding to "actual growth amount information" according to the present invention), which is information indicating the amount of product previously harvested from the cultivated plant Q (corresponding to "past growth amount of the cultivated plant" according to the present invention). The actual yield information 56 in this embodiment includes a white bar graph 52 and a black bar graph 54.

[0073] The white bar graph 52 indicates the amount of crop harvested in the past crop season. More specifically, the white bar graph 52 is a graph showing the actual monthly harvest amount in the previous crop season.

[0074] The black bar graph 54 shows the amount of crop harvested in the current crop season. More specifically, the black bar graph 54 is a graph showing the actual monthly harvest amount for the current crop season.

[0075] In this example, the current crop season covers four months from September to December, and therefore the black bar graph 54 only covers those four months.

[0076] Thus, the yield information 50 includes actual yield information 56, which is information indicating the amount of crop that has been harvested in the past from the cultivated plant Q. Furthermore, the actual yield information 56 includes information indicating the amount of crop that has been harvested in the past crop season and information indicating the amount of crop that has been harvested in the current crop season.

[0077] Yield graph 51 also includes a hatched bar graph 53. Hatched bar graph 53 is a graph showing predicted values ​​of monthly harvests in the current crop season, as predicted by yield prediction unit 13.

[0078] The white bar graph 52 and the black bar graph 54 are generated based on information input by the user operating the input device 22. The hatched bar graph 53 is generated by prediction by the yield prediction unit 13.

[0079] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the yield information 50 displayed in the third display area 50A may include, in addition to the yield graph 51, a value indicating the total amount of crop harvested in the current crop season, and a value indicating how that total amount compares with the previous year or the average year.

[0080] 4, the management screen 24 simultaneously displays cultivation information 30, environmental information 40, and yield information 50. That is, the cultivation management system SY includes a display device 23 that displays the cultivation information 30, environmental information 40 indicating the prediction results by the environmental prediction unit 12, and yield information 50 indicating the prediction results by the yield prediction unit 13 on a single management screen 24.

[0081] The processing device 10 and each element included in the processing device 10, such as the cultivation information generating unit 11, may be a physical device such as a computer, or may be a functional unit in software.

[0082] [Configuration of number of days information] 3, the processing device 10 has a day number information generating unit 14. A user can input the start date of the current crop season and the planned end date of the current crop season into the cultivation management system SY by operating the input device 22. The input information is sent to the day number information generating unit 14.

[0083] The number-of-days information generating unit 14 generates number-of-days information 60 (see FIG. 4) based on the information received from the input device 22.

[0084] The number of days information 60 generated by the number of days information generating unit 14 is sent to the display device 23. Then, as shown in FIG.

[0085] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the management screen 24 has a fourth display area 60A. The number of days information 60 is displayed in a fourth display area 60A. The fourth display area 60A is located above the first display area 30A and the second display area 40A.

[0086] 4, the day number information 60 includes elapsed day number information 61 and a day number indicator 62. The elapsed day number information 61 is information that indicates the number of days that have passed in the current crop season as a numerical value. The day number indicator 62 is a horizontal bar-shaped indicator.

[0087] The length of the thick portion (highlighted portion) of the day number indicator 62 corresponds to the number of days that have elapsed in the current cropping season. The length of the thin portion (unhighlighted portion) of the day number indicator 62 corresponds to the number of days that remain in the current cropping season. That is, the day number indicator 62 indicates the number of days that have elapsed and the number of days that remain in the current cropping season by the length of the thick portion and the length of the thin portion.

[0088] With the configuration described above, the day number information 60 indicates the number of days elapsed and the number of days remaining in the current crop season. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the day number information 60 may indicate only either the number of days elapsed or the number of days remaining in the current crop season.

[0089] 4, the management screen 24 simultaneously displays cultivation information 30, environmental information 40, yield information 50, and number of days information 60. That is, on the management screen 24, the display device 23 displays, together with the cultivation information 30, environmental information 40, and yield information 50, number of days information 60 indicating at least one of the number of days elapsed and the number of days remaining in the current cultivation season.

[0090] As shown in FIG. 4, below the information 61 on the number of days elapsed, the harvested bunch tier and a value indicating the total amount of harvested produce in the current crop season may also be displayed.

[0091] According to the configuration described above, by looking at the management screen 24 of the display device 23, the user can simultaneously check the state of the cultivated plant Q, the predicted future environment around the cultivated plant Q, and the predicted amount of harvested product from the cultivated plant Q. This allows the user to grasp multifaceted information, including future predictions, by looking at the management screen 24 of the display device 23.

[0092] Therefore, with the configuration described above, it is possible to realize a cultivation management system SY that allows users to easily make decisions regarding cultivation management based on multifaceted information including future predictions.
