Background Art

[0002] Thinned wood, branches and leaves, etc. in forestry (hereinafter referred to as forest residual materials) are sometimes left in mountain forests for various reasons such as not being profitable. If forest residual materials are left untreated, decay (decomposition) progresses under the influence of rain, insects, and microorganisms, and the carbon contained in the forest residual materials is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. In response to this, in recent years, efforts have been made to use carbonization furnaces and the like to produce decay-resistant biochar from unused biomass such as these forest residual materials. Since the produced biochar can also be used as a soil conditioner, it is sometimes used, for example, by being spread and plowed into land. In addition, transactions are also conducted such as carbon credits being issued according to the amount of carbon plowed into a specific land.

[0003] When plowing biochar into land, technology (traceability) for accurately recording the position and amount of the plowed biochar is required. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a drop carried by an aircraft is dropped and the position information of the drop is measured.

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

[0015] The first flying object 10 is connected to the dropping device 200 containing the transported object 90 via a first connecting member 50 (wire 51), generates lift to levitate the dropping device 200 in the air, and moves the levitated dropping device 200 in the horizontal direction HD. The first flying object 10 includes rotary wings 11, 12, 13, 14, a control unit 10a (see FIG. 5), a communication unit 10b (see FIG. 5), and drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f (see FIG. 5). The first flying object 10 can move to any position in a three-dimensional space in any attitude by the control unit 10a controlling the rotation speeds of the rotary wings 11, 12, 13, 14. In the present embodiment, the first flying object 10 is described as having four rotary wings 11, 12, 13, 14 and four drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, but the number of rotary wings and drive motors may be appropriately changed.

[0016] The control unit 10a is a device that controls the rotational speed of the drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f in accordance with control commands received by the communication unit 10b from the controller 30. The drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f are connected to the rotor blades 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively, and rotate the rotor blades 11, 12, 13, and 14 at any desired rotational speed.

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

[0018] The controller 30 is a device that controls the direction and speed of movement of the first aircraft 10. The controller 30 has a control unit 30a (see Figure 5) and a communication unit 30b (see Figure 5). The communication unit 30b acquires, for example, the altitude and lift of the first aircraft 10 from the first aircraft 10 and the vertical acceleration VD of the drop device 200. Based on the information acquired by the communication unit 30b, the control unit 30a generates control commands to control the direction MD and speed of movement of the first aircraft 10 and transmits them from the communication unit 30b to the first aircraft 10. Under the control of the controller 30, the first aircraft 10, i.e., the drop device 200, is moved to a predetermined position and the cargo 90 is dropped to a predetermined position.

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

[0020] The drop device control unit 40 includes an opening / closing control unit 40a (see Figure 5) and a communication unit 40b (see Figure 5). The opening / closing control unit 40a controls the opening and closing of the opening / closing section 42 of the drop device 200 based on commands from the controller 30. For example, if the drop device 200 is a hatch type, the drop device control unit 40 controls the opening and closing of the hatch, the angle at which the hatch opens (opening amount), etc. By adjusting the opening amount, the amount of cargo 90 dropped from the drop device 200 per unit time can be controlled. A predetermined amount of cargo 90 is dropped from the drop device 200 under the control of the drop device control unit 40. The communication unit 40b receives commands from the controller 30 regarding the dropping of the drop device 200 (for example, opening and closing of the opening / closing section 42). The opening / closing section 42 may be replaced with a rotary feeder or screw feeder, etc., which allows the dropping speed to be adjusted by the rotation speed, instead of a hatch type.

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

[0022] The drop information management device 110 manages drop information, which is information related to the drop of the transported object 90. For managing the drop information, the drop information management device 110 has a storage medium.

[0023] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing a flight system and a drop information management device in several embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modification of the above embodiment and is the same as the above embodiment unless otherwise specifically described below, so the following description will be omitted. This embodiment has a configuration that adds a second flight unit 20 to the above embodiment.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the flight system 100 comprises a first flight body 10, a second flight body 20, a controller 30, a drop device control unit 40, and a drop device 200. The flight system 100 manages drop information, which is information related to the drop of the transported material 90, using a drop information management device 110. The transported material 90 is, for example, biochar.

[0025] The second flying body 20 is connected to the drop device 200 containing the transported object 90 via the first connecting member 50, and is a device that generates lift to levitate the drop device 200 in the air using a gas with a density less than air (for example, helium gas). The second flying body 20 includes balloons 21, 22, and 23, and a communication unit 26 (see Figure 5), which will be described later.

[0026] Each balloon 21, 22, and 23 is filled with a gas less dense than air to generate lift that causes the release device 200 to float in the air. In this embodiment, the second flying body 20 has three balloons 21, 22, and 23, but other configurations are possible. For example, the second flying body 20 may have only one balloon 21. Alternatively, the second flying body 20 may have two or more balloons. When there are multiple balloons, it is possible to avoid complete loss of buoyancy in the event of balloon damage. Furthermore, the shape of the balloons is not limited as long as they generate lift that causes the release device 200 to float in the air.

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

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

[0029] The control unit 10a is a device that controls the rotational speed of the drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f in accordance with control commands received by the communication unit 10b from the controller 30. The drive motors 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f are connected to the rotor blades 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively, and rotate the rotor blades 11, 12, 13, and 14 at any desired rotational speed.

[0030] The controller 30 is a device that controls the direction and speed of movement of the first aircraft 10. The controller 30 has a control unit 30a (see Figure 5) and a communication unit 30b (see Figure 5). The communication unit 30b acquires, for example, the altitude and lift of the second aircraft 20 from the second aircraft 20, the altitude of the first aircraft 10 from the first aircraft 10, and the acceleration of the drop device 200 in the vertical direction VD. Based on the information acquired by the communication unit 30b, the control unit 30a generates control commands to control the direction MD and speed of movement of the first aircraft 10 and transmits them from the communication unit 30b to the first aircraft 10. Under the control of the controller 30, the first aircraft 10, i.e., the drop device 200, is moved to a predetermined position, and the transported object 90 is dropped to the predetermined position.

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

[0032] The drop device control unit 40 includes an opening / closing control unit 40a (see Figure 5) and a communication unit 40b (see Figure 5). The opening / closing control unit 40a controls the opening and closing of the opening / closing section 42 of the drop device 200 based on commands from the controller 30. For example, if the drop device 200 is a hatch type, the drop device control unit 40 controls the opening and closing of the hatch, the amount of hatch opening, etc. A predetermined amount of cargo 90 is dropped from the drop device 200 under the control of the drop device control unit 40. The communication unit 40b receives commands from the controller 30 regarding the dropping of the drop device 200 (for example, opening and closing of the opening / closing section 42).

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

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

[0035] The drop information management device 110 manages drop information, which is information related to the drop of the transported object 90. For managing the drop information, the drop information management device 110 has a storage medium. The following explanation will describe the case of a flight system 100 comprising the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 shown in Figure 2, but the same process applies to the case of a flight system 100 comprising the first aircraft 10 shown in Figure 1.

[0036] Figure 3 is a top view showing an example of a transporter being dropped by a flight system in some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the first flying body 10, the second flying body 20, and the drop device 200 move from a predetermined position on the land, and the cargo 90 is dropped. The land is divided into a grid, for example, to acquire positional information, and the weight of the cargo 90 dropped at each position on the grid is recorded in the drop information management device 110. That is, the drop weight information, which is the change in the weight of the cargo 90 while the drop device 200 is stationary in each grid and dropping the cargo 90, and the position information of the drop device 200, i.e., the drop position information, which is the position where the cargo 90 was dropped, are recorded and managed in association. In addition to the drop weight information and the drop position information of the cargo 90, the drop information management device 110 may also record the date and time information of when the cargo 90 was dropped in association with the drop weight information and the drop position information of the cargo 90. The drop weight information, drop location information, and date and time information of the transported object 90, which are recorded in the drop information management device 110, are linked and stored together, thereby constructing a drop information database in the drop information management device 110.

[0037] By referring to the deployment information database, it becomes possible to confirm or prove the deployment record of transport material 90. This makes it easier to manage the deployment of transport material 90 to the required land and time, preventing misdeployment or failure to deploy. Furthermore, by combining this with the carbon ratio contained in transport material 90 (biotinc) that has been analyzed in advance, it becomes possible to grasp the amount of carbon (carbon credits) deployed (sequestered) on a designated land.

[0038] By confirming that, for example, a certain amount of cargo 90 has been dropped at each position on the land grid, the flight system 100 can move to the next grid, thereby enabling the drop of cargo 90 with high precision according to the drop plan.

[0039] The land from which the cargo 90 will be dropped may be screened in advance from above by the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 to create a grid and formulate a drop plan. If location information can be obtained, the screening may be performed by the first aircraft 10 alone. In addition, for the screening, the first aircraft 10 or the second aircraft 20 may be equipped with, for example, a remote camera.

[0040] Figure 4 shows an example of the hardware configuration of a data drop management device and controller in some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the information drop management device (Controller) 110 and controller 30 are computer systems, and for example, they include a CPU (Central Processing Unit: processor) 1100, secondary storage (ROM, Secondary storage: memory) 1200, main memory (RAM, Main Memory) 1300, a storage medium and a large-capacity storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD) 1400, and a communication unit 1500 for connecting to a network, etc. A solid-state drive (SSD) may be used as the large-capacity storage device. These parts are connected via a bus 1800.

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

[0042] The main memory 1300 consists of writable memory such as cache memory and RAM (Random Access Memory), and is used as a work area for reading the CPU 1100's executable program and writing processing data by the executable program.

[0043] The secondary storage device 1200 is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Examples of secondary storage devices 1200 include magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and semiconductor memory. Examples of secondary storage devices 1200 include ROM (Read Only Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), and flash memory. The secondary storage device 1200 stores, for example, an OS for controlling the entire information processing device such as Windows®, iOS®, and Android®, a BIOS (Basic Input / Output System), various device drivers for hardware operation of peripheral devices, various application software, and various data and files. Furthermore, the secondary storage device 1200 stores programs for implementing various processes and various data required to implement those processes. Multiple secondary storage devices 1200 may be provided, and the aforementioned programs and data may be divided and stored in each secondary storage device 1200.

[0044] Furthermore, the information distribution management device 110 and controller 30 may include an input unit consisting of a keyboard or mouse, and a display unit consisting of a liquid crystal display device or the like for displaying data. They may also include a notification unit that includes a display unit and outputs lights, sounds, and especially alarm sounds, such as a speaker.

[0045] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the functions of a flight system and a drop information management device in several embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the flight system 100 comprises a first aircraft 10, a second aircraft 20, a controller 30, and a drop device control unit 40. The drop information management device 110 comprises a weight information detection unit 170, a position information detection unit 180, and a time acquisition unit 130.

[0046] The series of processes required to realize the functions of the information distribution management device 110 and the controller 30 are stored, for example, in the form of a program in the secondary storage device 1200 (see Figure 4). The CPU (processor) 1100 (see Figure 4) reads this program into the main memory 1300 (see Figure 4) and performs information processing and calculations to realize various functions. The program may be pre-installed in the secondary storage device 1200, provided stored in other non-temporary computer-readable storage media, or distributed via wired or wireless communication. Examples of non-temporary computer-readable storage media include magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and semiconductor memory.

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

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

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

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

[0051] Next, with reference to Figures 6 and 7, control methods for the flight system of several embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. Figure 6 is a flowchart showing control methods for the flight system according to several embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 is a flowchart showing the details of the operation of the flight system 100 when the drop device 200 is moved by the first aircraft 10 in Figure 6. Each process shown in Figures 6 and 7 is performed by operators of the first aircraft 10, the second aircraft 20, the controller 30, the drop information management device 110, and the flight system 100.

[0052] In step S101, the operator of the flight system 100 connects the second aircraft 20 to the release device 200 using the first connecting member 50. Specifically, the operator connects the balloons 21, 22, and 23 of the second aircraft 20 to the release device 200 using the first connecting member 50. The release device 200 is connected to the second aircraft 20 with the transported goods 90 inside.

[0053] Furthermore, in step S101, the operator of the flight system 100 connects the first aircraft 10 to the drop device 200 via the first connecting member 50 using the second connecting member 60. Specifically, the operator connects the mounting position P2 of the first aircraft 10 to the connection position P1 of the first connecting member 50 using the second connecting member 60.

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

[0055] In step S103, the operator of the flight system 100 supplies a gas less dense than air to balloons 21, 22, and 23 of the second aircraft 20. The operator operates the system to supply gas from a gas supply source (not shown) to balloons 21, 22, and 23. The operator may also secure the release device 200 to a hook (not shown) or other heavy object on the ground using a wire (not shown) or hook (not shown) before step S103 to prevent the release device 200 from unexpectedly taking off due to lift or gusts of wind generated by the second aircraft 20.

[0056] In step S104, the controller 30 determines whether the lift of the second aircraft 20 is equal to or greater than a predetermined lift. If it is YES, it proceeds to step S105; otherwise, it repeats steps S103 and S104. Here, the predetermined lift is the lift at which the lift generated by the second aircraft 20 (first lift) matches the lift required to raise the release device 200 to the target altitude (second lift).

[0057] Alternatively, in step S104, the controller 30 may determine whether the amount of supply gas supplied to balloons 21, 22, and 23 is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount. If YES, the process proceeds to step S105; otherwise, steps S103 and S104 are repeated. Here, the predetermined amount is the amount of gas required for the second aircraft 20 to generate a predetermined lift.

[0058] In step S105, the operator of the flight system 100 stops the supply of gas to balloons 21, 22, and 23 of the second aircraft 20. The operator stops the supply of gas from the gas supply source (not shown) to balloons 21, 22, and 23. With the gas supply stopped in step S105, the release device 200 floats in the air.

[0059] In step S106, the controller 30 controls the first aircraft 10 to move the release device 200 towards the target position along the horizontal direction HD. Details of the process in step S106 will be described later with reference to Figure 7.

[0060] In step S107, the controller 30 determines whether the altitude difference obtained by subtracting the altitude of the second aircraft 20 from the altitude of the first aircraft 10 is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. If it is YES, the process proceeds to step S109; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S108. The predetermined value is a positive value and is set so that the first aircraft 10 does not come into contact with the second aircraft 20.

[0061] In step S108, the controller 30 determines that the altitude difference between the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20 is less than a predetermined value, and therefore controls the first aircraft 10 to ascend along the vertical direction VD in order to avoid contact between the first aircraft 10 and the second aircraft 20. The controller 30 controls the first aircraft 10 to ascend by a predetermined fixed altitude, for example.

[0062] In step S109, the controller 30 determines whether the second aircraft 20 has reached the airspace above the target position. If it is YES, the process proceeds to step S110; otherwise, it proceeds to step S106. Whether the second aircraft 20 has reached the airspace above the target position can be determined, for example, by the position information of the second aircraft 20 or the drop device 200 obtained from the position information detection sensor 18, or by visual observation by an operator or worker waiting near the target position.

[0063] In step S110, the controller 30, or the operator of the flight system 100 via the controller 30, has reached the target position and has given a command to the drop device control unit 40 to open the opening / closing section 42 of the drop device 200 in order to begin dropping the cargo 90. When the opening / closing section 42 opens, the cargo 90 is dropped onto the ground. As the flight system 100 is moved by the first aircraft 10 with the opening / closing section 42 still open, the cargo 90 is continuously dropped onto the ground along with the movement of the flight system 100. Also, as the first aircraft 10 moves at a constant speed, the cargo 90 is dropped onto the ground in approximately constant amounts.

[0064] In step S111, the controller 30 determines whether the weight of the dropped cargo 90 has reached a predetermined weight. If it is YES, it proceeds to step S112; otherwise, it repeats the determination in step S111. The predetermined weight is, for example, the weight of the cargo 90 required to drop the cargo 90 over the entire area of ​​land where the drop is planned.

[0065] In step S112, the controller 30 determines whether the weight information detected by the weight detection sensor 17 is less than or equal to a predetermined weight. If it is YES, the process proceeds to step S113; otherwise, it proceeds to step S106. If the process proceeds to step S106, it means that the dropping to the planned land (area) has been completed, but the transported goods 90 remain in the dropping device 200, so the device moves to the next land (area) to be dropped. The predetermined weight is, for example, the weight of the dropping device 200 alone, and being less than or equal to the predetermined weight means that all the transported goods 90 have been dropped and the dropping device 200 is empty. Alternatively, the predetermined weight may be set as appropriate, such as the amount to be dropped to the next land (area) to be dropped, or, for example, 20% of the maximum load capacity of the transported goods 90.

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

[0067] Next, with reference to Figure 7, the details of the movement of the drop device 200 by the first flying object 10 in Figure 6 (step S106) will be described. In step S201, the second aircraft 20 measures its altitude. The communication unit 26 of the second aircraft 20 transmits the altitude of the second aircraft 20 to the controller 30.

[0068] In step S202, the controller 30 determines whether the altitude of the release device 200, calculated from the altitude of the second aircraft 20 received from the second aircraft 20, is lower than the target altitude. If YES, the process proceeds to step S203; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S204.

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

[0070] Thus, in step S203, the controller 30 controls the direction MD and speed of movement of the first aircraft 10 so that the release device 200 is raised to the target altitude when the lift generated by the second aircraft 20 (first lift) is less than the lift required to raise the release device 200 to the target altitude (second lift).

[0071] In step S204, the controller 30 determines whether the altitude of the release device 200, calculated from the altitude of the second aircraft 20 received from the second aircraft 20, is higher than the target altitude. If YES, the process proceeds to step S205; otherwise, the process in this flowchart is terminated.

[0072] In step S205, the controller 30 controls the direction MD and speed of the first aircraft 10 so that the altitude of the release device 200 attached to the second aircraft 20 descends to the target altitude. For example, the controller 30 controls the direction MD and speed of the first aircraft 10 so that the upward acceleration in the vertical direction VD acting on the release device 200 by the first aircraft 10 is less than the downward acceleration in the vertical direction VD of the release device 200.

[0073] Thus, in step S205, the controller 30 controls the direction MD and speed of movement of the first aircraft 10 so that if the lift generated by the second aircraft 20 (first lift) is greater than the lift required to raise the release device 200 to the target altitude (second lift), the release device 200 will descend to the target altitude.

[0074] Note that the direction of movement MD and the speed of movement of the first aircraft 10 in steps S203 and S205 of Figure 5 are assumed to be when the release device 200 is moved along the horizontal direction HD (during movement).

[0075] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing a flight system and a drop information management device in several embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modification of the above embodiment and is the same as the above embodiment unless otherwise specifically described below, and the following description will be omitted. This embodiment has a configuration that adds a guidance device 120 to the above embodiment.

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

[0077] The guidance device 120 acquires carbon credit price information 121 as input information, in addition to the emission information obtained from the emission information management device 110. Carbon credits are a system that allows for the issuance and trading of "credits" representing reductions in carbon dioxide emissions through the introduction of energy-saving equipment and the use of renewable energy, as well as the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed through appropriate forest management. The carbon credit price indicates the price per unit of carbon credits traded.

[0078] The guidance device 120 can issue commands to the controller 30 to control the movement route of the first aircraft 10 and the opening and closing of the opening / closing section 42. The guidance device 120 can also predict the amount and time of dropping the cargo 90 if the flight system 100 flies along the movement route of the first aircraft 10 specified by the guidance device 120. The guidance device 120 may also calculate the amount of cargo 90 to be dropped that is commensurate with the target revenue from carbon credits by adding carbon credit price information 121, and then control the movement route.

[0079] The guidance device 120 can display the release results based on the release information acquired from the release information management device 110. The release results may be displayed as a release map on a map as shown in Figure 3. The guidance device 120 also predicts carbon credit receipts based on the weight information of the transported goods 90 and the carbon credit price information 121 acquired from the release information management device 110.

[0080] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing a flight system and a drop information management device in several embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modification of the above embodiment and is the same as the above embodiment unless otherwise specifically described below, so the following description will be omitted. In this embodiment, the position information detection sensor 18, which is provided on the first connecting member 50 in the above embodiment, is provided on the drop device 200.

[0081] As shown in Figure 9, the position information detection sensor 18 is installed on the drop device 200. In Figure 9, the position information detection sensor 18 is installed on the side of the drop device 200, but the installation location is not limited as long as it can detect the position information of the drop device 200.

[0082] By providing the position information detection sensor 18 on the drop device 200 in this way, the traceability of the drop device 200 can be ensured. For example, the cargo 90 is loaded into the drop device 200 at the source of the cargo 90, the drop device 200 containing the cargo 90 is moved by a vehicle or the like, and the drop device 200 arrives near the land where the cargo 90 will be dropped. At the land where the cargo 90 will be dropped, the drop device 200 is connected to the flight system 100, and thereafter, as in the embodiment described above, the drop information of the cargo 90 is recorded. After all the cargo 90 has been dropped and the drop device 200 is empty, it is moved again by a vehicle or the like to the source of the cargo 90. Therefore, all of these movements of the drop device 200 and the cargo 90 can be recorded.

[0083] Furthermore, since the location of the drop device 200 can be determined, theft of the drop device 200 can be prevented.

[0084] Figures 10 and 11 are schematic diagrams showing a flight system and a drop information management device in several embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment is a modification of the above embodiment and is the same as the above embodiment unless otherwise specifically described below, and the following description will be omitted. In this embodiment, the drop device 200 of the above embodiment is configured to have a collection function.

[0085] As shown in Figure 10, the drop device 200 of this embodiment is shaped to scoop up cargo 90 loaded on a vehicle or placed on the ground, and drop the cargo 90 after it has been moved by the flight system 100, for example, it is shaped like two buckets joined together. The drop device 200 of this embodiment is controlled to open and close by the opening / closing control unit 40a, similar to the embodiment described above. When the drop device 200 of this embodiment scoops up cargo 90 from a vehicle V, the process of transferring the cargo from the vehicle V to the drop device 200 can be omitted.

[0086] As shown in Figure 11, the dropping device 200 of this embodiment can move while containing the scooped-up transported material 90, and its opening and closing is controlled by the opening and closing control unit 40a, allowing it to be dropped onto the ground. In this way, since the dropping device 200 of this embodiment has a collection function, the effort required to load the transported material 90 into the dropping device 200 can be reduced.

[0087] Furthermore, the drop information management device 110 may manage two or more flight systems 100. By managing at least one or more flight systems 100, the drop information management device 110 can control all instances of multiple flight systems 100 dropping on various land areas. It can also control instances where multiple flight systems 100 drop on a single land area. Moreover, since there is no need to provide a separate drop information management device 110 for each of the multiple flight systems 100, cost reductions can be achieved.

[0088] Figure 12 shows the information flow in several embodiments of the present disclosure. These embodiments are modifications of the embodiments described above and are the same as the embodiments described above unless otherwise specifically described below, and the following description is omitted. In these embodiments, carbon credits are estimated using the economic simulator 145 when the transported material 90 in the embodiments described above is biochar 90.

[0089] As shown in Figure 12, the carbon credit calculation device 140 acquires input information from the information collection device 150 and the guidance device 120. The information gathering device 150 collects and acquires market information related to carbon credits using a user terminal. Market information includes, for example, carbon credit trading prices and the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, and is various information related to the market for carbon credits. The market information collected by the information gathering device 150 is received by the guidance device 120 (S10).

[0090] The guidance device 120 acquires land information and transport information. Land information includes the area, shape, and pH data of the land where the transport 90 will be dropped, and is various information related to the land where the biochar 90 will be dropped. Transport information includes the amount of biochar that can be dropped, the degree of carbonization, and is various information related to the biochar 90. The land information and transport information are input into the guidance device 120 by the user. The land information and transport information acquired by the guidance device 120 are added to the market information received by the guidance device 120 and transmitted to the carbon credit calculation device 140 (S20).

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

[0092] The carbon credit calculation device 140 may also include an economic simulator 145. The economic simulator 145 performs an economic simulation based on the input information, which includes market information, land information, and transport information (S30). The economic simulator 145 calculates the amount of biochar to be used based on the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, the land information, and the amount of biochar that can be used. The economic simulator 145 may perform an economic simulation and output process values ​​and cost estimates.

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

[0094] Figure 13 shows an economic simulator in several embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 13, the economic simulator 145 receives input parameters as input information and outputs output values ​​as output information.

[0095] The input parameters include market information, land information, and transport information. Market information includes the carbon credit trading price, which is the market price for carbon credits, and the carbon credit trading quantity, which indicates the amount of carbon credits that can be traded in the market. Land information includes the land area, land shape, and pH data, which indicates the pH value of the soil on the land. Transport information includes the biochar input quantity, which indicates the weight of biochar 90 that can be input, and the degree of carbonization of biochar 90.

[0096] The output value includes the amount of biochar used and carbon credits. The amount of biochar used includes the predicted amount of the optimal biochar 90 used. The carbon credits include the carbon credits incurred if the optimal biochar 90 used were applied according to the predicted amount.

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

[0098] Figure 14 shows the control flow for carbon credit calculation in several embodiments of this disclosure. Each step in the flowchart in Figure 14 corresponds to each step in the information flow in Figure 12.

[0099] In step S10, when the carbon credit calculation device 140 is controlled, the information gathering device 150 acquires market information (carbon credit trading price, available carbon credit trading quantity). The carbon credit calculation device 140 reads the market information collected via the guidance device 120.

[0100] In step S20, when the carbon credit calculation device 140 is controlled, land information (area, shape, pH data) and transport information (amount of biochar that can be added, degree of carbonization) are input to the guidance device 120. The carbon credit calculation device 140 reads the land information and transport information input to the guidance device 120.

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

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

[0103] Figure 15 shows the information flow in several embodiments of the present disclosure. These embodiments are modifications of the embodiments described above and are the same as the embodiments described above unless otherwise specifically described below, and the following description will be omitted. These embodiments report the carbon credits when the transported material 90 in the above embodiments is biochar 90 and is deposited in accordance with the biochar input amount.

[0104] As shown in Figure 15, the flight system 100, which includes a carbon credit calculation device 140 (see Figure 12), acquires input information from an information gathering device 150 and a guidance device 120. The information gathering device 150 collects and acquires market information related to carbon credits using a user terminal. Market information includes, for example, carbon credit trading prices and the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, and is various information related to the market for carbon credits. The market information collected by the information gathering device 150 is received by the guidance device 120 (S11).

[0105] The guidance device 120 acquires land information and transport information. Land information includes various land-related information such as the area, shape, and soil data such as pH of the land where the transport 90 will be dropped. Transport information includes various information related to the biochar 90, such as the amount of biochar that can be dropped and the degree of carbonization. The land information and transport information are input into the guidance device 120 by the user. The land information and transport information acquired by the guidance device 120 are added to the market information received by the guidance device 120 and transmitted to the flight system 100 (S21).

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

[0107] The flight system 100 may include an economic simulator 145. The economic simulator 145 performs an economic simulation based on the input information, which includes market information, land information, and transport information (S31). The economic simulator 145 calculates the amount of biochar to be deployed based on the amount of carbon credits that can be traded, the land information, and the amount of biochar that can be deployed. The economic simulator 145 may perform an economic simulation and output process values ​​and cost estimates.

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

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

[0110] The flight system 100 controls the movement route of the first aircraft 10, the opening and closing state and opening angle of the release device 200, etc., based on the flight command, and performs actual operation (S61). Based on the flight command, the flight system 100 performs flight and releases the biochar 90. At this time, the release information management device 110 manages the release information and builds a release information database.

[0111] The flight system 100 requests carbon credits from the information gathering device 150 according to the amount of biochar 90 dropped, the degree of carbonization (carbon content in the biochar), the date and time of drop, and the drop location (S71). Specifically, the flight system 100 obtains the aforementioned information from the drop information database managed by the drop information management device 110, and the carbon credit calculation device 140 of the flight system 100 calculates the carbon credits and requests the carbon credits.

[0112] The information gathering device 150 connects to a server that handles carbon credit transactions via a user terminal, and carbon credit payments are made (S81).

[0113] Figure 16 shows the control flow for reporting carbon credits in some embodiments of this disclosure. Each step in the flowchart of Figure 16 corresponds to each step in the information flow of Figure 15. Step S61 in the information flow of Figure 15 corresponds to steps S61 and S62 in the flowchart of Figure 16.

[0114] In step S11, the information gathering device 150 acquires market information (carbon credit trading price, carbon credit trading volume).

[0115] In step S21, the guidance device 120 receives land information (area, shape, pH data) and transport information (amount of biochar that can be dropped, degree of carbonization). The flight system 100 reads the land information and transport information entered into the guidance device 120, along with market information acquired by the information gathering device 150.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[0122] In step S81, the information gathering device 150 connects to a server that conducts carbon credit transactions via the user terminal, and payment for carbon credits is made.

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

[0124] A drop information management device (110) according to a first aspect of the present disclosure manages drop information, which is information relating to the drop of a transported object (90) by a flight system (100) comprising: a drop device (200) for dropping a transported object (90); a first flying body (10) connected to the drop device and generating lift to make the drop device float in the air and moving the airborne drop device horizontally; and a control device (30) for controlling the direction of movement of the first flying body. The device manages drop information, which is information relating to the drop of the transported object, and includes a weight information detection unit (170) for detecting the weight information of the transported object, and a position information detection unit (180) for detecting the position information of the drop device (200) or the first flying body, and manages the weight information and the position information in association.

[0125] The amount of cargo dropped can be derived from weight information and managed in conjunction with location information, allowing for accurate tracking of where and how much cargo was dropped. Furthermore, since the location information is detected from the location information of the drop device or the first aircraft, the location information of the transported item can be easily determined.

[0126] A drop information management device according to a second aspect of the present disclosure may, in the first aspect, include a time acquisition unit (130) that acquires date and time information, and manage the date and time information in association with the weight information and the location information.

[0127] In addition to weight and location information, date and time information is also managed, allowing for the acquisition of weight and location information at the same time, and enabling accurate determination of not only the amount and location of the dropped cargo, but also when it was dropped.

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

[0129] A weight detection sensor is placed between the release device and the first aircraft, allowing for accurate detection of the weight of the transported object.

[0130] In the fourth aspect of the Disclosure, the Disposal Information Management Device may, in any of the first to third aspects, have the position information detection unit detect the position information using a position information detection sensor (18) located on the Disposal Device or the first flying object.

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

[0132] In the fifth aspect of the Disclosure, the drop information management device may, in any of the first to fourth aspects, have the control device (30) control the direction and speed of movement of the first flying object (10).

[0133] Since the control device controls not only the direction of movement but also the speed of movement of the first aircraft, it is possible to adjust and control the amount of cargo to be dropped and the time required for dropping.

[0134] A sixth aspect of the Discharge Information Management Device of the Discharge Information Management Device, in any of the first to fifth aspects, includes a second flying body (20) connected to the Discharge Device and generating lift to levitate the Discharge Device, wherein the second flying body is connected between the Discharge Device and the first flying body, and the lift generated by the second flying body causes the Discharge Device to levitate.

[0135] In addition to a first aircraft (e.g., a drone), a second aircraft (e.g., a balloon) is provided. The first and second aircraft carry the drop device and the cargo, allowing even heavy cargo to be kept afloat. Compared to using the first aircraft alone, more stable transport can be achieved.

[0136] In the seventh aspect of the present disclosure, the drop information management device may, in the sixth aspect, have the second flying object generate lift using a gas with a density less than air.

[0137] The second aircraft can generate lift without requiring any external power source.
