Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated information provision system for agricultural by-products and a method of operation thereof, and more specifically, to an integrated information provision system for agricultural by-products and a method of operation thereof capable of establishing a thesaurus-based classification system for processing agricultural by-products and providing structured integrated information on agricultural by-products based on the classification system for processing agricultural by-products. Background Technology

[0002] The Korea Rural Economic Institute has announced research results estimating that the annual amount of domestic agricultural by-products is 9.34 million tons, including 1.61 million tons of pruning branches from fruit trees and 710,000 tons of chili pepper stems, and that the amount of agricultural food waste has increased by 15.8% over the past five years, with the resulting economic cost amounting to 20 trillion won.

[0003] Agricultural by-products are currently designated as waste under the legal procedures of the Waste Management Act and must undergo the processes of discharge, transportation, and disposal. If the daily discharge exceeds 300 kg, they are classified as industrial waste, and the treatment procedures become even stricter.

[0004] As a result, the majority of farms are illegally burning agricultural by-products in open fields, leading to problems such as the acceleration of global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions during incineration and environmental pollution caused by foul odors, pests, and leachate if left unattended.

[0005] Currently, downcycling methods such as animal feed production and composting are primarily used domestically to utilize agricultural by-products; however, these methods suffer from low economic viability and efficiency due to the limited increase in resource value.

[0006] Recently, as agricultural by-products have become known to be rich in useful substances such as protein, dietary fiber, and functional ingredients, upcycling methods that convert agricultural by-products into high-value-added products based on eco-friendly production and ethical consumption through new technologies, instead of simply discarding them, are gaining attention.

[0007] In particular, the development of high value-added products utilizing agricultural by-products enables small and medium-sized agri-food companies to reduce waste disposal costs and enhance economic sustainability; furthermore, to secure the sustainability and global competitiveness of the agri-food industry, it is necessary to continuously transition from downcycling to upcycling.

[0008] Although some integrated information regarding agricultural by-products is provided on the Rural Development Administration's agricultural technology portal, Nongsaro, it does not offer information on raw material characteristics, quality and safety management, or material utilization. Consequently, there is a lack of a comprehensive system for compiling and providing integrated information on agricultural by-products, which limits their utilization. Therefore, there is a need to enhance the utilization of agricultural by-products by providing integrated information tailored to users, such as farmers, researchers, and employees of agri-food processing companies.

[0009] Furthermore, while agricultural by-products hold high environmental and economic potential, their actual industrial utilization is limited and management systems remain inadequate due to the lack of quality standards and safety information. In particular, agricultural by-products pose a risk of pesticide residues during cultivation or the accumulation of harmful substances, such as mycotoxins and heavy metals, during drying. Additionally, they are highly susceptible to microbial contamination during collection, processing, and distribution; therefore, it is necessary to establish evaluation standards for residues and microorganisms. Moreover, since the characteristics of agricultural by-products can vary significantly depending on the variety of the raw material, cultivation region, season, and processing method, separate quality and safety evaluation indicators distinct from those for conventional food ingredients are required.

[0049] Integrated Information Provision System for Agricultural By-products

[0050] Hereinafter, an integrated information provision system for agricultural by-products (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0051] FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the components of an integrated information provision system for agricultural by-products according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an agricultural by-product processing classification system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a column group of an agricultural by-product processing classification system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating examples of raw material information columns and quality and safety information columns according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of food classification codes from domestic and foreign external organizations; FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 are diagrams illustrating a search platform provided through an output module according to an embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of integrated information for agricultural by-products.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 1, an integrated information provision system for agricultural by-products (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a collection module (110), a storage module (120), a normalization module (130), an input module (140), an output module (150), and a calculation module (160).

[0053] In one embodiment, the collection module (110) can collect agricultural by-product information related to agricultural by-products and metadata of said agricultural by-product information from a plurality of institutions and sources.

[0054] Specifically, agricultural by-products may include juice residue (e.g., apple, pear), oil residue (e.g., sesame, perilla), soybean pulp (e.g., tofu), vegetables (e.g., napa cabbage, radish, onion, green onion, tomato, etc.), fruits (e.g., apple, pear, grape, citrus fruit, schisandra, plum, etc.), grains (e.g., rice straw, soybean stalks, corn, etc.), and special crops (e.g., mushrooms, etc.).

[0055] In addition, it is desirable that the agricultural by-product information include data for items to be standardized into classification codes of the agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300) to be constructed through the normalization module (130).

[0056] Specifically, information on agricultural by-products may include the name of the raw material, variety, quantity generated, pretreatment method, nutritional components, functional components, etc., as well as quality and safety indicators (e.g., moisture, color, microbial count, pesticide residues, etc.).

[0057] In one embodiment, the storage module (120) can store agricultural by-product information collected from the collection module (110) and metadata of the agricultural by-product information.

[0058] Additionally, the storage module (120) may be configured as a relational database of agricultural by-product information and metadata in order to link agricultural by-product information and metadata of said agricultural by-product information.

[0059] In one embodiment, metadata is information collected from a collection module (120) along with agricultural by-product information, and may be data including the collection date, collection period, creation date, source, evaluation agency, inputter, and reliability of the agricultural by-product information, as well as the point of origin, region, and processing company of the agricultural by-product.

[0060] In one embodiment, the normalization module (130) can construct a thesaurus-based agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) by reconstructing and structuring agricultural byproduct information and metadata stored in a linked form in the storage module (120).

[0061] Specifically, the normalization module (130) is the LanguaL shown in FIG. 2 TM Based on the knowledge model related to agricultural by-products, an agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300) can be established.

[0062] Referring to Fig. 2, LanguaL TM The knowledge model related to agricultural by-products is currently the most internationally commercialized knowledge representation model in the food sector, referring to a thesaurus-level knowledge model that describes food. Furthermore, it is utilized as a standard for describing food based on a taxonomy-style food classification system using 14 food facets. However, LanguaL TM As the knowledge model for agricultural by-products is structured as a standard classification system based on strict hierarchical codes, there are limitations to natural language-based search, such as the inability to search for agricultural by-product items when synonyms are entered, such as in common languages ​​(e.g., dialects, etc.) or non-standard names, rather than standard names structured in the standard classification system.

[0063] More specifically, the normalization module (130) is a conventional LanguaL that had limitations in natural language-based search. TMIt is possible to establish an agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) that improves upon the problems of the knowledge model related to agricultural byproducts.

[0064] In one embodiment, the agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) may include a thesaurus-based multilingual synonym dictionary and natural language mapping logic so that even if a synonym, which is a non-standard name of an agricultural byproduct, is entered into the search platform (150a) to be described later, the agricultural byproduct item is searched through a synonym, which is a standard name of the synonym.

[0065] In addition, the agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) can structure the agricultural byproduct information into a standardized classification code system using at least one text of English and numbers in order to classify agricultural byproduct information from various sources collected from the collection module (110).

[0066] Specifically, the agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) may be a knowledge model that structures agricultural byproduct information into food item codes, supply stage codes, nutritional component codes, quality codes, hazard factor codes, FTP (extraction / materialization) codes, and usage purpose codes in order to classify agricultural byproduct information from various sources collected from the collection module (110).

[0067] In one embodiment, the food item code is a code for identifying agricultural by-product items and can be used to classify agricultural by-product items.

[0068] In one embodiment, the supply stage code is a code for identifying which stage among the production, processing, and disposal stages the agricultural byproduct item was collected from, and can be used to track the origin path of the agricultural byproduct item.

[0069] In one embodiment, the nutrient code is a code for identifying the nutrient components (e.g., protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, etc.) constituting the agricultural byproduct item, and can be used to evaluate the quality standards of the agricultural byproduct item.

[0070] In one embodiment, the quality code is a code for identifying the moisture content and color (physicochemical indicator) of an agricultural byproduct item, and can be used to evaluate the quality standards of the agricultural byproduct item.

[0071] In one embodiment, the hazard code is a code for identifying bacteria, E. coli, etc. (physicochemical indicators and microbial indicators) contained in the agricultural byproduct item and pesticides, mold, heavy metals, etc. (chemical hazard indicators) contained in the agricultural byproduct item, and can be used to evaluate the safety of the agricultural byproduct item.

[0072] In one embodiment, the FTP code is a code for identifying which process (e.g., drying, grinding, extraction, etc.) an agricultural byproduct item was processed in, and can be used to evaluate the suitability of the processing of the agricultural byproduct item.

[0073] In one embodiment, the use code is a code for identifying the use of an agricultural byproduct item (e.g., feed, food raw material, compost, functional material, etc.) and can be used to evaluate whether the agricultural byproduct item is suitable or unsuitable for each use.

[0074] In addition, the agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) can structure the classification code of agricultural byproduct information into a plurality of column groups as shown in FIG. 3.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of column groups include a raw material information column (1310), a quality and stability information column (1320), an application column (1330), and a metadata column (1340).

[0076] In one embodiment, the raw material information column (1310) is a column group composed of items representing the basic attributes (raw material characteristics) of agricultural by-products, as shown in the example in FIG. 4, and includes a food item code, a supply stage code, and an FTP code among the classification codes of agricultural by-product information.

[0077] In one embodiment, the quality and stability information column (1320) is a column group composed of items for evaluating the quality and stability of agricultural by-products, as shown in the example in FIG. 4, and includes a nutritional component code, a quality code, and a hazard factor code among the classification codes of agricultural by-product information.

[0078] In one embodiment, the utilization use column (1330) is a column group composed of items for classifying the utilization of agricultural by-products, and includes a utilization use code among the classification codes of agricultural by-product information.

[0079] In one embodiment, the metadata column (1340) is a column group of metadata items linked to information on agricultural by-products, and includes metadata of agricultural by-product information.

[0080] In addition, the agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300) can structure the agricultural by-product information not only with the agricultural by-product classification codes described above, but also with the food classification codes of multiple domestic and foreign external organizations, so that the integrated agricultural by-product information (1500) can be utilized by multiple domestic and foreign external organizations (e.g., Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Korea Customs Service, etc.) each having a different agricultural by-product processing classification system.

[0081] Here, food classification codes from domestic and foreign external organizations can be constructed differently as shown in Fig. 5, and include the standard classification code of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs shown in Fig. 5 (a), the food classification code of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety shown in Fig. 5 (b), and the HS code of the Korea Customs Service shown in Fig. 5 (c).

[0082] That is, the agricultural by-product information of the present invention can be reconstructed based on a food item code, supply stage code, nutritional component code, quality code, hazardous factor code, FTP (extraction / materialization) code, usage purpose code, food classification code of domestic and foreign external organizations, and a plurality of column groups in the agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300).

[0083] In one embodiment, the input module (140) may provide a user interface that includes functions for inputting synonyms related to agricultural by-products and selecting attributes of agricultural by-product items to obtain integrated information on agricultural by-products (1500).

[0084] Additionally, the user interface of the input module (140) can input new agricultural byproduct items for which no classification code exists in the agricultural byproduct operation classification system (1300).

[0085] At this time, the agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) can be updated (expanded) by adding the classification code of the agricultural byproduct item when a new agricultural byproduct item is stored in the storage unit (120).

[0086] And the user interface of the input module (140) can modify or delete agricultural by-product items of the agricultural by-product information stored in the storage module (120).

[0087] At this time, it is desirable that the agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) be designed so that even if an agricultural byproduct item is deleted through the user interface of the input module (140), the classification code of the agricultural byproduct item is maintained so as not to affect the classification code and column group system.

[0088] In one embodiment, the output module (150) may provide the user with the search platform (150a) illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8 so that the user can obtain integrated information on agricultural by-products (1500) through the user interface of the input module (140).

[0089] In one embodiment, the search platform (150a) may provide a synonym-based search function such that when a synonym of a non-standard name related to an agricultural by-product is entered as shown in FIG. 6, the integrated information on agricultural by-products (1500) is output through a synonym of a standard name that is semantically similar to the synonym mapped to a thesaurus-based agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300) instead of the synonym.

[0090] Specifically, when 'tofu waste' is entered into the search bar as a synonym for agricultural by-products through the user interface of the input module (140), the search platform (150a) can perform a search process based on a synonym-based search function to convert the said synonym into 'soybean pulp', which is a synonym semantically similar to the said synonym mapped to the agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300), and then proceed with the search so that the integrated information (1500) of agricultural by-products corresponding to the said synonym ('soybean pulp') is output.

[0091] In one embodiment, the search platform (150a) may provide an agricultural byproduct item attribute-based search function such that when an attribute of an agricultural byproduct item ('food facet group' in FIG. 7) is selected as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, integrated agricultural byproduct information (1500) for an agricultural byproduct item corresponding to the attribute of the agricultural byproduct item mapped to the thesaurus-based agricultural byproduct processing classification system (1300) is output.

[0092] Specifically, when 'cooking method' among the attributes of an agricultural by-product item is selected through the user interface of the input module (140), the search platform (150a) can perform a search process to output integrated agricultural by-product information (1500) of the agricultural by-product item by searching for an agricultural by-product item corresponding to the attribute of the agricultural by-product item in the agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300) based on an agricultural by-product item attribute-based search function.

[0093] Referring to FIG. 9, the integrated information on agricultural by-products (1500) can be implemented as unstructured data of agricultural by-product items corresponding to the attributes of synonyms entered in the search platform (150a) or selected agricultural by-product items.

[0094] Specifically, the integrated information on agricultural by-products (1500) may include food item codes, supply stage codes, nutritional component codes, quality codes, hazard factor codes, FTP (extraction / materialization) codes, usage purpose codes, and metadata of agricultural by-product items structured in the agricultural by-product processing classification system (1300).

[0095] In one embodiment, when the computation module (160) requests the evaluation of an agricultural byproduct item of the integrated agricultural byproduct information (1500) through the user interface of the input module (140), it can perform the evaluation of the agricultural byproduct item and generate an evaluation result.

[0096] At this time, it is preferable that the evaluation result generated from the calculation module (160) be output from the output module (150) and provided to the user, and the evaluation result can be provided to the user through various embodiments below.

[0097] As a specific example, the computation module (160) evaluates quality information and nutritional components for each agricultural by-product item generated based on the food item code, nutritional component code, and quality code of the integrated agricultural by-product information (1500), and can provide the evaluation results of the quality information and nutritional components for each agricultural by-product item in the form of a graph, table, etc.

[0098] As another specific example, the computation module (160) can compare trends such as quality change, supply volume, and utilization rate by period (e.g., by year, month, quarter, etc.) of agricultural by-product items of the same item or same region generated based on the food item code, supply stage code, quality code, and metadata of the integrated agricultural by-product information (1500), and provide the results of the comparison of trends such as quality change, supply volume, and utilization rate by period of agricultural by-products of the same item or same region in the form of a graph.

[0099] As another specific example, the computation module (160) can compare the risk factors and standard values ​​of agricultural byproduct items, including physicochemical indicators, microbial indicators, and harmful factor indicators collected based on the food item code, quality code, hazard factor code, FTP code, usage code, and metadata of the integrated agricultural byproduct information (1500), and provide the comparison results of the risk factors and standard values ​​of agricultural byproduct items in the form of a table.

[0100] As another specific example, the calculation module (160) evaluates the quality grade (e.g., A, B, C), risk index (e.g., 0~1), processing suitability, and suitability / unsuitability by use of the agricultural by-product derived by comparing the risk factors and standard values ​​of the agricultural by-product, and can provide the quality grade, risk index, and suitability / unsuitability by use of the agricultural by-product in the form of a table.

[0101] Here, the quality grade of agricultural by-products may decrease as it moves from A to C; processing suitability is an indicator used to evaluate whether the processing state of the agricultural by-product is appropriate for its intended use (e.g., feed, food ingredients, compost, functional materials, etc.); and regarding the risk index of the agricultural by-product, a value between '0' and '1' falls within the standard range, indicating that it is suitable for use in that specific application; conversely, a value exceeding '1' means it exceeds the standard range, indicating that it is unsuitable for use in that specific application.

[0102] Additionally, the calculation module (160) can generate a warning notification based on the evaluation result of comparing the agricultural byproduct item with the standard value.

[0103] At this time, it is preferable that the warning notification generated from the operation module (160) be output from the output module (150) and provided to the user, and the warning notification can be provided to the user through the following embodiment.

[0104] Specifically, the calculation module (160) can provide a warning notification containing the food item code, supply stage code, nutritional component code, quality code, hazard factor code, FTP code, usage purpose code, and metadata of the agricultural by-product item that exceeds the standard value in the evaluation result of the agricultural by-product item.
