Description

Farm management system and farm management method

[0001] The present invention relates to an agricultural work management system and an agricultural work management method, and more specifically, to an agricultural work management system for grasping the status of agricultural work in a greenhouse and obtaining data for evaluating agricultural workers.

[0002]

[0003] Agriculture is an industrial sector that provides the fundamental energy for people to live, and has been evaluated as a large-scale industrial sector since ancient times.

[0004] However, the rate at which advanced technologies are applied appears to be low compared to other industries in comparison to its scale.

[0005] In addition, since most agricultural work is still performed by farm workers, it is not easy to grasp the overall status of agricultural work performed by farm workers, and in particular, it is difficult to evaluate the efficiency of work compared to the labor costs of farm workers.

[0006] However, in managing a greenhouse, in order to maximize profits, it is necessary to grasp the overall status of the agricultural work performed by the farmers and evaluate the efficiency of the work compared to the labor cost of the farmers.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system to acquire data using farm worker terminals and manage farm work based on the acquired data.

[0008]

[0009] One object of the present invention is to provide a farm worker terminal capable of inputting the start and end of farm work.

[0010] The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the problems described above, and problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention pertains from this specification and the attached drawings.

[0011]

[0055]

[0056] I. [Agricultural Work Management System Overview]

[0057] [Purpose of the Farm Management System]

[0058] Understanding the status of agricultural work in greenhouses

[0059] In order to grow crops well and harvest a large quantity of high-quality crops, appropriate farming operations must be carried out at the appropriate time.

[0060] At this time, the types of agricultural work performed in the greenhouse can include manning work, weeding work, pest control work, fruit removal work, harvesting work, and forecasting work.

[0061] However, greenhouses are usually so large that it is difficult to perform all the appropriate agricultural work in one day, and thus it is difficult to perform all the appropriate agricultural work in one day.

[0062] For example, it may take a week to perform a manning operation for an entire greenhouse.

[0063] However, when managing a greenhouse, there may be instances where planned agricultural work is continuously delayed, making it difficult to carry out agricultural work according to the set schedule.

[0064] Therefore, it is very important to understand the status of agricultural work performed in the greenhouse to monitor whether agricultural work has been performed as scheduled and to set a new work schedule if not, and an agricultural work management system can be provided for the purpose of understanding the status of agricultural work in the greenhouse.

[0065] For example, the farm management system can be used to obtain information such as which farm work is currently being performed on which crop row and how many crop rows in the entire greenhouse have not yet been farmed.

[0066]

[0067] Farmer's evaluation

[0068] A large portion of the costs involved in growing crops are labor costs.

[0069] Therefore, it is necessary to accurately monitor the work performed by workers so that workers are not paid for the work they did not do if they did not work diligently.

[0070] In addition, considering the differences in ability among workers, the structure should be such that workers who process work quickly (i.e., workers with a large workload) can receive more compensation than workers who process work slowly (i.e., workers with a small workload). If all farm workers are paid the same compensation (i.e., labor costs) regardless of their performance, the morale of the farm workers may decline.

[0071] Accordingly, it is necessary to accurately determine the amount of agricultural work performed by each farm worker (e.g., the number of crop rows for which agricultural work was performed), and it may be necessary to add rewards / penalties based on appropriate standards, and for this purpose, it is necessary to evaluate the performance of farm workers, and an agricultural work management system can be provided for the purpose of understanding the status of agricultural work in a greenhouse.

[0072] At this time, the performance of the farmers can be the speed of farming work, the quality of farming work, etc.

[0073]

[0074] [Composition of the agricultural work management system]

[0075] Figure 1 is a drawing for explaining the configuration of the agricultural work management system disclosed by the present application.

[0076] Referring to FIG. 1, the agricultural work management system (1000) disclosed by the present application includes a server (1010), at least one farm worker terminal (1020), and an administrator terminal (1030).

[0077] At this time, the agricultural work management system (1000) may be a system that processes information obtained from at least one agricultural worker terminal (1020) through the server (1010) and outputs it through the administrator terminal (1030).

[0078]

[0079] II. [Problems with Conventional Farm Management Systems]

[0080] First, before explaining the conventional agricultural work management system, for the sake of ease of understanding, we will provide an example of agricultural work being performed in a greenhouse.

[0081] Typically, a greenhouse has several rows of crops arranged in rows of different crops.

[0082] At this time, farm workers performing agricultural work in the greenhouse are individually guided to perform agricultural work on crop rows located in a certain area.

[0083] For example, farmer A is guided to perform farming work on the 1st to 10th crop rows located in the 1st zone, and farmer B is guided to perform farming work on the 11th to 20th crop rows located in the 2nd zone.

[0084] At that time, the farm workers performing agricultural work in the greenhouse are individually guided to work on the rows of crops located in a certain area in a set order.

[0085]

[0086] For example, farmer A is guided to sequentially perform farming work from the 1st to the 10th crop row, and farmer B is guided to sequentially perform farming work from the 11th to the 20th crop row.

[0087] [Description of the first conventional agricultural work management system]

[0088] Figure 2 is a drawing for explaining the first agricultural work management system.

[0089] At this time, the first agricultural work management system is the first conventional agricultural work management system.

[0090] The first conventional agricultural work management system (1100) guides workers to perform agricultural work on multiple crop rows according to the assigned work order, and to register work information in the system only for the crop row where the work begins and the crop row where the work ends. In other words, in the conventional agricultural work management system (1100), workers can input work start information at the location where the daily agricultural work begins (1110), and input work end information at the location where the daily agricultural work ends (1120).

[0091] In this case, since the worker's work order is predetermined as described above, if information on the work time and work location is obtained when starting the farm work, and information on the work end time and work end location is obtained when finishing the farm work, information on the crop row on which the work was performed, information on the time for which the work was performed during the day, etc. can be produced.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 2, according to a conventional agricultural work management system (1100), the worker's work information can be registered as follows.

[0093] A farmer named A may be asked to perform work on the first crop row (1131), and then sequentially perform work on the second crop row (1132), the third crop row (1133), and the fourth crop row (1134).

[0094] A performs farming work in the requested order, but registers work information only in the crop row where the work begins and the crop row where the work ends.

[0095] That is, A can register work information when entering the first crop row (1131), and after completing work on the second crop row (1132), the third crop row (1133), and the fourth crop row (1134), it can register work information when exiting the fourth crop row (1134).

[0096] In this case, the agricultural work management system (1100) can check the work plan and work information given to A and save A's work as completed in the first crop row (1131), the second crop row (1132), the third crop row (1133), and the fourth crop row (1134).

[0097]

[0098] [Description of the Second Conventional Farm Work Management System]

[0099] Figure 3 is a drawing for explaining the second agricultural work management system.

[0100] At this time, the second agricultural work management system is a second conventional agricultural work management system.

[0101] The second conventional agricultural work management system (1200) guides a worker to perform agricultural work on multiple crop rows according to the work order assigned to the worker, and to start and end work on each crop row (or each work passage) and register work information on the system. In other words, in the conventional agricultural work management system (1200), the worker can input work start information at a location (1210) where he / she enters each crop row (or work passage), and input work end information at a location (1220) where he / she exits the corresponding crop row (or work passage).

[0102] Referring to FIG. 3, according to a conventional agricultural work management system (1200), the worker's work information can be registered as follows.

[0103] A farmer named B may be asked to perform work on the first crop row (1231), and then sequentially perform work on the second crop row (1232), the third crop row (1233), and the fourth crop row (1234).

[0104] B performs farming work in the requested order, starting and ending work for each crop row (or work passage) and registering work information in the system.

[0105] That is, B registers work information when entering the work passage between the first crop row (1231) and the second crop row (1232), and registers work information when exiting the work passage. In addition, B registers work information when entering the work passage between the second crop row (1232) and the third crop row (1233), and registers work information when exiting the work passage. In addition, B registers work information when entering the work passage between the third crop row (1233) and the fourth crop row (1234), and registers work information when exiting the work passage.

[0106] In this case, the agricultural work management system (1200) can check the work plan and work information given to B and save B's work as completed in the first crop row (1231), the second crop row (1232), the third crop row (1233), and the fourth crop row (1234).

[0107]

[0108] Problems with conventional farming systems

[0109] As described above, both the first conventional agricultural work management system and the second conventional agricultural work management system can acquire agricultural work management information such as information on the crop rows on which agricultural work was performed and the agricultural work speed of the agricultural worker in a situation where data is ideally acquired.

[0110] However, in actual greenhouses, there are many cases where agricultural work is not carried out in a predetermined order. In particular, while agricultural work is being carried out according to a predetermined plan, there are many cases where work is carried out in a different order from the predetermined plan, such as when suddenly requested to perform other agricultural work to quickly handle urgent agricultural work in the greenhouse, or when called out to manage facilities, etc.

[0111] In this case, according to the first conventional agricultural work management system, work information is registered only in the crop row where the work begins and the crop row where the work ends, so a problem occurs. For the convenience of understanding, this is explained by assuming an exemplary situation.

[0112] For example, suppose that a farm worker who is supposed to sequentially perform work on the first to fourth crop rows according to the work plan is called out while working on the second crop row, and then works on the sixth crop row, and then returns to the second crop row to continue working, but due to lack of time, only works up to the third crop row and then ends the workday.

[0113] In this case, the first conventional farm work management system can store the work performed by the farm worker as the first crop row, the second crop row, and the third crop row completion.

[0114] However, the work actually performed by the farmer is the first crop row, the second crop row, the third crop row and the sixth crop row.

[0115] In this way, in the case of the first conventional agricultural work management system, contamination is inevitable in information such as the amount of agricultural work and the heat in which agricultural work was performed.

[0116] However, in the case of the second conventional agricultural work management system, since work start information and work end information can be managed by crop row unit, relatively accurate data can be obtained compared to the first conventional agricultural work management system even in cases where agricultural work is not performed in a predetermined order as described above.

[0117] However, in the case of the second conventional agricultural work management system, work start and work end information for each crop row must be entered, so work start and work end information for agricultural work must be entered several to dozens of times a day.

[0118] Therefore, in the case of the second conventional farm work management system, there are frequent cases where farm workers forget to enter work start information and / or work end information.

[0119] In this way, if the farmer forgets to enter the work start information and / or work end information, information about the work time, amount of work done, and the heat in which the work was performed is bound to be corrupted.

[0120] In addition, since both the first conventional agricultural work management system and the second conventional agricultural work management system require the worker to input the work start position and the work end position, there is a high possibility that the information on the crop row on which the work was performed will be contaminated as the worker may incorrectly recognize or incorrectly input the work start position and / or the work end position.

[0121] Accordingly, the following will describe in more detail a farm work management system that prevents workers from incorrectly entering work start locations and / or work end locations, and in particular, a method for controlling a farm worker terminal that manages work start information and work end information for each crop row like the second conventional farm work management system, but reduces the degree of information contamination even if the farm worker forgets to check the work start information and / or work end information.

[0122]

[0123] III. [Agricultural work management system and farm worker terminal control method according to one embodiment]

[0124] [Agricultural work management system according to one embodiment]

[0125] FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining an agricultural work management system according to one embodiment.

[0126] Referring to FIG. 4, a farm management system (1300) according to one embodiment includes a server (1310), at least one farm worker terminal (1320), an administrator terminal (1330), and tags (1350) arranged corresponding to each row of crops arranged in a row within a greenhouse.

[0127] At this time, the at least one farm worker terminal (1320) may be an electronic device such as a wearable device, a smartphone, a mobile device, or a tablet device, which is provided to input the start and end of farm work, generate work start information and work end information, and transmit the same to the server (1310).

[0128] Additionally, at this time, the server (1310) is configured to generate agricultural work management information based on work start information and work end information obtained from at least one farm worker terminal (1320).

[0129] At this time, the agricultural work management information includes information for understanding the agricultural work status of the greenhouse and / or information for evaluating agricultural workers.

[0130] Additionally, at this time, information for understanding the status of agricultural work in the greenhouse may include information on whether agricultural work is being performed for each crop row, the progress rate of agricultural work, and / or information on the agricultural worker who performed the agricultural work.

[0131] Additionally, at this time, information for evaluating farmers may include information on each farm worker's farm work time and farm work speed.

[0132] In addition, at this time, the administrator terminal (1330) may be an electronic device such as a wearable device, a smartphone, a mobile device, and / or a tablet device, which is provided to receive and output agricultural work management information from the server (1310).

[0133] Additionally, at this time, at least one farmer terminal (1320) and manager terminal (1330) may include an input unit, a communication unit, an output unit, a memory, and a control unit.

[0134] At this time, the input unit may be a keyboard, a mouse, a key pad, a dome switch, a touch pad (positive / negative pressure), a button, a camera, a beacon, NFC (Near Field Communication), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), IrDA (Infrared Data Association), UWB (Ultra Wideband), etc.

[0135] In addition, at this time, the at least one communication unit may be at least one communication unit capable of wireless communication such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Beacon, NFC (Near Field Communication), ZigBee, WiGig, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), IrDA (Infrared Data Association), UWB (Ultra Wideband), and WiHD.

[0136] Additionally, at this time, the output unit may be a visual output unit such as a display panel, an auditory output unit such as a speaker, and / or a tactile output unit such as a vibration module.

[0137] Additionally, at this time, the memory can store at least one instruction, and the control unit can control the input unit, the communication unit, and the output unit with reference to the at least one instruction.

[0138] In addition, at this time, the agricultural work management system (1300) according to one embodiment is a system that inputs work start information when a farm worker enters a work passage located between crop rows for agricultural work, and inputs work end information when the farm worker exits the work passage.

[0139] According to the above agricultural work management system (1300), work start information is obtained through interaction between the agricultural worker terminal (1320) and a tag (1350) arranged corresponding to each of the crop rows.

[0140] For example, according to an agricultural work management system (1300) according to one embodiment, when a first farm worker enters a first work passage between a first crop row (1341) and a second crop row (1342) to perform agricultural work, work start information is acquired when the first farm worker interacts with a first tag (1351) arranged corresponding to the first crop row (1341) using a terminal of the first farm worker.

[0141]

[0142] Tag placement

[0143] According to the above agricultural management system (1300), tags are placed corresponding to each row of crops arranged in rows within the greenhouse.

[0144] For example, in a greenhouse including a first crop row (1341), a second crop row (1342), a third crop row (1343), and a fourth crop row (1344), a first tag may be placed corresponding to the first crop row (1341), a second tag may be placed corresponding to the second crop row (1342), a third tag may be placed corresponding to the third crop row (1343), and a fourth tag may be placed corresponding to the fourth crop row (1344).

[0145] According to one embodiment, according to the agricultural management system (1300), one tag may be placed in one crop row. Tags may be placed on the right side of all crop rows, so that the right side of the Nth crop row where the tag is located and the left side of the N+1th crop row may share one tag.

[0146] In another embodiment, according to the agricultural management system (1300), two tags may be placed in one crop row. Tags may be placed on the right and left sides of each crop row, respectively, so that one tag may be installed to correspond to half of the crop row.

[0147]

[0148] Information contained in tags

[0149] Each of the above tags (1350) contains identification information.

[0150] At this time, the identification information included in each of the above tags (1350) may be identification information for a crop row.

[0151] For example, the identification information included in each of the first to fourth tags (1351 to 1354) may be identification information for the first to fourth crop rows (1341 to 1344), which are crop rows corresponding to each of the first to fourth tags (1351 to 1354).

[0152] At this time, the identification information for the crop row includes the crop row number, crop row position, right or left information within the crop row, etc.

[0153]

[0154] Problem-solving principles of an agricultural work management system according to an embodiment using tags

[0155] As described above, both the first conventional agricultural work management system and the second conventional agricultural work management system have a problem in that, when a worker inputs a work start position and a work end position, there is a high possibility that information about the crop row on which work was performed may be contaminated due to the worker misrecognizing or incorrectly inputting the work start position and / or work end position.

[0156] In contrast, the agricultural work management system (1300) obtains work start input through interaction between the farm worker terminal (1320) and tags (1350) when starting agricultural work, and tags are placed for each crop row in the greenhouse, and the tags are configured to include identification information for the crop row, thereby matching the location where agricultural work starts with the identification information of the crop row included in the tag, thereby enabling the input of an accurate work start location, and eliminating the problem of the farm worker misrecognizing or incorrectly inputting the work start location.

[0157] Below, a method for controlling a farmer terminal to reduce the frequency with which a farmer forgets to check work start information and / or work end information will be described in more detail.

[0158]

[0159] [Method for controlling a farmer terminal according to one embodiment]

[0160] Configuration of farmer terminal

[0161] First, before explaining a method for controlling a farm worker terminal according to one embodiment, the configuration of a farm worker terminal used in a farm work management system (1300) according to one embodiment will be explained in more detail.

[0162] Referring again to FIG. 4, a farm worker terminal (1320) according to one embodiment includes an input unit (1321), a display (1322), a memory (1323), and a control unit (1324).

[0163] At this time, the input unit (1321) is configured to interact with tags arranged in correspondence with each of the rows of crops arranged in rows within the greenhouse, and to obtain at least identification information of the tags.

[0164] For example, the input unit (1321) is configured as a camera, and the tag is configured as a QR code, so that identification information of the tag can be obtained when the input unit (1321) captures the tag.

[0165] Additionally, for example, the input unit (1321) may be configured to interact with the tag by being composed of an NFC reader, an RFID reader, a barcode reader, etc.

[0166] Additionally, at this time, the input unit (1321) may be configured to obtain a user's input corresponding to the start of a task.

[0167] Additionally, at this time, the input unit (1321) may be configured to obtain a user's input corresponding to the end of the task.

[0168] In addition, at this time, the input unit (1321) may be a keyboard, a mouse, a key pad, a dome switch, a touch pad (static / electrostatic), a button, a camera, a beacon, NFC (Near Field Communication), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), IrDA (Infrared Data Association), UWB (Ultra Wideband), etc.

[0169] Additionally, at this time, the display (1322) is configured to provide a page for entering the start of farming work and a page for entering the end of farming work.

[0170] At this time, the page for entering the start of farming work and the page for entering the end of farming work are described in more detail below.

[0171] Additionally, at this time, the memory (1323) is configured to store one or more instructions.

[0172] Additionally, at this time, the control unit (1324) is configured to control the input unit (1321) and the display (1322) by referring to the memory (1323).

[0173] At this time, the control method of the control unit (1324) will be described in more detail below.

[0174] Farmer terminal control method according to one embodiment

[0175] FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining a control method of a farm worker terminal according to one embodiment.

[0176] Referring to FIG. 5, a control method (1400) of a farm worker terminal according to one embodiment includes providing a first page for inputting start of farm work through a display (S1410), obtaining identification information of a tag through interaction between an input unit and a tag while the first page is provided (S1420), preventing the first page from being provided through the display when the identification information of the tag is obtained (S1430), providing a second page for inputting end of farm work through the display (S1440), and allowing the first page to be provided through the display when inputting end of farm work is obtained while the second page is provided (S1450).

[0177] Provides the first page for inputting the start of farming work through the display (S1410)

[0178] The first page for inputting the start of farming work provided through the display may be provided with a guide area to guide input of identification information.

[0179] Below, the first page is described through an exemplary drawing for the first page.

[0180] FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining a first page for inputting the start of farming work according to one embodiment.

[0181] Referring to FIG. 6, a first page (1500) for inputting start of farming work according to one embodiment provides a guide area (1510) for guiding input of identification information.

[0182] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the first page (1500) may be provided with a guide area (1510) for photographing a tag.

[0183] Additionally, referring again to FIG. 6, the guide area (1510) for photographing the tag may be provided on a preview image (1520) acquired through the camera.

[0184] Obtaining tag identification information through interaction between the input unit and the tag while the first page is provided (S1420)

[0185] Referring again to FIG. 5, when interaction between the input section and the tag is performed while the first page is provided, the identification information of the tag is obtained.

[0186] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the first page (1500) is provided and the tag is located within the guide area (1510) provided in the first page (1500), interaction between the input unit and the tag is performed, and identification information of the tag can be obtained.

[0187] At this time, the interaction between the input unit and the tag may include capturing a QR code through a camera, NFC recognition through an NFC reader, RFID recognition through an RFID reader, barcode recognition through a barcode reader, etc.

[0188] Additionally, at this time, the identification information of the tag may be identification information for a crop row corresponding to the tag as described above.

[0189] Additionally, at this time, when tag identification information is obtained through interaction between the input unit and the tag, work start information is generated.

[0190] At this time, the interaction between the input unit and the tag for generating the work start information can be expressed as a farming work start input, a work start input, etc.

[0191] Additionally, at this time, the work start information may include work start time, work start location, work type, worker information, etc.

[0192] When the tag's identification information is obtained, the first page is not provided through the display (S1430).

[0193] Referring again to Figure 5, when the tag's identification information is obtained, the first page is not provided through the display.

[0194] At this time, when the identification information of the tag is obtained, the first page is not provided to prevent the identification information of a new tag from being obtained until the input for ending the farming operation is obtained when the input for starting the farming operation is obtained through the identification information of the tag being obtained.

[0195] That is, this is a measure to forcibly restrict input for the start of new farming operations from the start of farming operations until the end of farming operations.

[0196] Additionally, at this time, not providing the first page through the display may mean not outputting the first page through the display.

[0197] In addition, the control method (1400) of the farm worker terminal according to one embodiment prevents the first page from being provided through the display when the identification information of the tag is obtained, thereby preventing the identification information from being obtained through interaction between the tag and the input unit until the input for terminating the farm work is obtained, thereby solving the problem of the farm worker forgetting to input the end of the farm work by forcing the input for terminating the farm work that has already started in order to input the start of a new farm work.

[0198] Provides a second page for inputting the end of farming work through the display (S1440)

[0199] The second page for inputting the end of farming work provided through the display may provide a UI for ending work.

[0200] For example, the second page may include a guide area for guiding input of tag identification information similar to the first page, and in this case, when the second page is provided, the input of the end of farming work is obtained as the tag identification information is obtained through interaction between the input unit and the tag.

[0201] Additionally, for example, the second page may include a farming end button for inputting farming end, in which case, when an input for the farming end button is obtained while the second page is provided, the farming end input is obtained.

[0202] Among the examples described above, if the second page provides a guide area for guiding the input of tag identification information similar to the first page, there is an advantage in that the location where farming work has ended can be accurately identified.

[0203] However, in the case of a system that guides input of the start and end of farming work for each crop row, since the end position of farming work once started is predetermined, there is no need to configure the second page to provide a guide area for guiding input of tag identification information similar to the first page.

[0204] On the other hand, it is more advantageous to configure the second page to include a farming end button for inputting farming end, and this will be described in more detail below.

[0205] FIG. 7 is a drawing for explaining a second page for inputting the end of farming work according to one embodiment.

[0206] Referring to FIG. 7, a second page (1600) for inputting the end of farming work according to one embodiment includes a farming work end button (1610) and farming work identification information (1620).

[0207] At this time, the farm work identification information (1620) may include the end of the farm work currently being performed, the location of the farm work, farm worker information, etc.

[0208] Additionally, at this time, if an input for the farming end button (1610) is obtained, a farming end input is obtained.

[0209] Referring again to FIGS. 6 and 7, the first page (1500) is configured to include a guide area (1510) for guiding input of identification information, while the second page (1600) is configured to include a farming end button (1610) for inputting the end of farming work. This reduces unnecessary waste of movement paths in which a farmer must return to the row where farming work was performed when he or she must input the end of farming work to start work on another crop row while forgetting to input the end of farming work.

[0210] For example, if the first farm worker finishes farming in the first work passage between the first and second crop rows, forgets to input the farming end input, and tries to start farming in the 10th work passage between the 10th and 11th crop rows, which are far away, the first farm worker must input the farming end input for the existing farming operation in order to start a new farming operation.

[0211] However, if the first farm worker must interact with the tag at the location where the farming work was completed in order to input the end of farming work through the second page (1600), the first farm worker must return to the second crop row again.

[0212] On the other hand, if the second page (1600) includes a farming end button as described above, the first farm worker can input farming end through the farming end button, thereby reducing unnecessary waste of movement.

[0213] Allows the display to display the first page when a farm work completion input is obtained while the second page is provided (S1450)

[0214] As described above, the above-described farming end input can be obtained by (i) obtaining identification information for a tag corresponding to a farming end location or (ii) obtaining input for a farming end button.

[0215] At this time, allowing the first page to be provided through the display may mean outputting the first page through the display, and may mean that the farmer can access the first page through the display.

[0216] Additionally, at this time, when the above-mentioned farming work completion input is obtained, work completion information is generated.

[0217] At this time, the work completion information may include work completion time, work completion location, work type, worker information, etc.

[0218]

[0219] [Configuration of UI (User Interface) for implementing a control method of a farm worker terminal according to one embodiment]

[0220] As described above, various UIs (User Interfaces) can be configured to selectively provide the first page for inputting the start of farming work through the display, which will be described in more detail below.

[0221] FIG. 8 is a drawing for explaining the configuration of a UI for implementing a control method of a farm worker terminal according to one embodiment.

[0222] More specifically, (a) of FIG. 8 is a drawing illustrating an exemplary UI output through a display, and (b) and (c) of FIG. 8 are drawings for explaining the configuration of different exemplary UIs.

[0223] First, referring to (a) of FIG. 8, an exemplary UI output through the display includes a plurality of menu tabs (1710) and pages (1720).

[0224] At this time, each of the plurality of menu tabs (1710) is assigned at least one corresponding page.

[0225] Accordingly, in order to selectively provide the first page for inputting the start of farming work through the display, the most convenient way to consider is to assign the first page and the second page to different menu tabs, but to disable the menu tab to which the first page is assigned so that the first page is not provided, and to activate the menu tab to which the first page is assigned so that the first page is braked.

[0226] Referring to (b) of FIG. 8, a UI according to one embodiment includes a plurality of menu tabs (1730), and the plurality of menu tabs (1730) include a first menu tab (1731) and a second menu tab (1732).

[0227] At this time, the first page (1741) is assigned to the first menu tab (1731), and the second page (1742) is assigned to the second menu tab (1731).

[0228] In this case, when the identification information of the above-described tag is acquired, the first page is not provided through the display (S1430) can be understood as the first menu tab (1731) to which the first page (1741) is assigned is deactivated when the identification information of the tag is acquired.

[0229] In addition, in this case, when the input for ending farming work is obtained while the second page described above is provided, allowing the first page to be provided through the display (S1450) can be understood as activating the first menu tab (1731) to which the first page (1741) is assigned when the input for ending farming work is obtained.

[0230] However, in the case of the UI configuration described in (b) of Fig. 8, since the first page and the second page are assigned to separate menu tabs, unnecessary menu tabs increase, and it is difficult for the farmer to check whether the menu tab is activated, so he or she must directly press the menu tab to determine whether it is activated.

[0231] In particular, since farmers are often not familiar with electronic devices, it may be difficult to determine whether the first menu tab (1731) is disabled or whether the first page (1741) is not printed because they pressed it by mistake.

[0232] Therefore, to solve such problems, another UI configuration can be considered, which is specifically explained through (c) of Fig. 8.

[0233] Referring to (c) of FIG. 8, a UI according to one embodiment includes a plurality of menu tabs (1750), and the plurality of menu tabs (1750) include a first menu tab (1751).

[0234] At this time, both the first page (1761) and the second page (1762) are assigned to the first menu tab (1751) and are configured to be output selectively.

[0235] In this case, when the identification information of the above-described tag is obtained, the first page is not provided through the display (S1430) can be understood as switching the page output from the first menu tab (1751) from the first page (1761) to the second page (1762) when the identification information of the tag is obtained.

[0236] In addition, in this case, when the input for ending farming work is obtained while the second page described above is provided, allowing the first page to be provided through the display (S1450) can be understood as switching the page output from the first menu tab (1751) from the second page (1762) to the first page (1761).

[0237] In the case of the UI described through (c) of Fig. 8, the first page and the second page are assigned to one menu tab and configured to be switched between each other, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of farmers by allowing them to intuitively know whether the first page is provided or not just by looking at the screen.

[0238] That is, a separate page is provided to obtain identification information of tags placed in each crop row, but when identification information is not obtained, the page is not provided, so that the user can know whether or not interaction for starting farming work is possible just by the presence or absence of the page, thereby avoiding the need for cumbersome interaction.

[0239]

[0240] [First embodiment of a control method for a farmer's terminal]

[0241] Figure 9 is a drawing for explaining a first embodiment of a control method for a farm worker terminal.

[0242] Referring to FIG. 9, the first embodiment (1800) of the control method of the farm worker terminal includes generating work start information and switching to a second page when tag identification information is obtained in a state where the first page is provided (S1810) and generating work end information and switching to the first page when farm work end input is obtained in a state where the second page is provided (S1820).

[0243] At this time, the above-described contents can be applied to the first page, the second page, the identification information of the tag, the work start information, and the work end information, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0244] At this time, the task start information may include the task start time and task start location.

[0245] Additionally, in this case, the work start position can be obtained based on the identification information of the tag.

[0246] Additionally, in this case, the work start time can be obtained based on the point in time at which interaction between the above-described farm worker terminal and the above-described tag is performed.

[0247] Additionally, at this time, the job end information may include the job end time and the job end location.

[0248] In this case, the work end position can be obtained based on the identification information of the tag.

[0249] For example, if the identification information of the tag indicates the left side of the first crop row, the work end position may be the right side of the second crop row adjacent to the first crop row and sharing a work passage.

[0250] Additionally, for example, if the identification information of the tag is the first crop row, the work end position may be the first crop row.

[0251] Additionally, for example, if the identification information of the tag is a first crop row, the work end location may be a second crop row adjacent to the first crop row and sharing a work passage.

[0252] Additionally, in this case, the work completion time can be obtained based on the time at which the farming work completion input is obtained.

[0253] [Second Embodiment of Control Method for Farmer Terminal]

[0254] Fig. 10 is a drawing for explaining a second embodiment of a control method for a farm worker terminal.

[0255] Referring to FIG. 10, the second embodiment (1900) of the control method of the farm worker terminal includes providing a third page (S1910) when tag identification information is obtained while the first page is provided, generating work start information and switching to a second page (S1920) when a user input for a farm work start input button is obtained while the second page is provided, providing a fourth page for work end confirmation when a farm work end input is obtained while the second page is provided (S1930) and generating work end information and switching to a first page when a user input for a farm work end confirmation button is obtained while the fourth page is provided (S1940).

[0256] At this time, the above-described contents can be applied to the first page, the identification information of the tag, the second page, the work start information, and the work end information, so redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0257] When the first page is provided and the tag identification information is obtained, the third page is provided (S1910).

[0258] The second embodiment (1900) of the control method of the farm worker terminal provides a third page in the control method of the farm worker terminal described above.

[0259] At this time, the third page is provided to show the various types of agricultural work performed in the greenhouse and to allow the user to select the type of agricultural work to be performed this time among the various types of agricultural work.

[0260] The third page above will be explained in more detail below.

[0261] FIG. 11 is a drawing for explaining a third page according to one embodiment.

[0262] Referring to FIG. 11, a third page (2000) according to one embodiment includes a list of agricultural work types (2010) for selecting agricultural work types, agricultural work start location information (2020), an agricultural work start input button (2030), and a cancel button (2040).

[0263] At this time, the list of types of agricultural work (2010) may include all types of agricultural work performed in the greenhouse, but is not limited thereto, and may include types of agricultural work saved in advance.

[0264]

[0265] Additionally, at this time, the list of types of agricultural work (2010) is provided so that one agricultural work can be selected.

[0266] Additionally, at this time, the agricultural work included in the agricultural work type list (2010) can be sorted according to preset criteria.

[0267] At this time, the preset criteria may be changed according to the farming plan and may be changed according to the type of farming performed previously.

[0268] For example, the agricultural work included in the agricultural work type list (2010) can be sorted so that the type of agricultural work performed immediately before is at the top.

[0269] Additionally, for example, the agricultural work included in the agricultural work type list (2010) can be sorted based on the agricultural work that is currently to be performed among the agricultural work plans.

[0270] Additionally, at this time, an indication may be provided for at least one of the agricultural operations included in the agricultural operation type list (2010).

[0271] For example, an indication may be provided for the most recently performed agricultural work among the agricultural work types included in the list of agricultural work types (2010).

[0272] Additionally, for example, an indication may be provided of the agricultural work assigned to the farm worker among the agricultural work types included in the list of agricultural work types (2010).

[0273] Additionally, at this time, the agricultural work start location information (2020) can be obtained based on the identification information of the tag.

[0274] Of course, at this time, the above-mentioned list of agricultural work types (2010) may be provided as a replacement for the agricultural work type input area.

[0275] Additionally, at this time, if user input for the cancel button (2040) is obtained, the first page is provided again.

[0276] When user input is obtained for the start farming input button on page 3, work start information is generated and the transition to page 2 is made (S1920).

[0277] When a user input is obtained for the start farming input button (2030) on the third page (2000), work start information is generated, and the third page (2000) is switched to the second page.

[0278] At this time, the above-described contents apply to the second page.

[0279] At this time, the work start information includes work start time, work start location, work type information, and worker information.

[0280] In this case, the work start time is obtained based on the time at which the user's input for the farming work start input button (2030) is obtained.

[0281] Additionally, in this case, the work start position is obtained based on the identification information of the tag and corresponds to the agricultural work start position information (2020).

[0282] Additionally, in this case, the work type information is obtained based on the type of agricultural work selected by the user through the agricultural work type list (2010).

[0283] Additionally, in this case, the worker information may correspond to worker information previously stored in the farm worker terminal.

[0284] When the farm work completion input is obtained while the second page is provided, the fourth page is provided for work completion confirmation (S1930).

[0285] The second embodiment (1900) of the control method of the farm worker terminal provides a fourth page in the control method of the farm worker terminal described above.

[0286] At this time, the purpose of providing an additional 4th page is to allow farmers to check the farming completion information once more.

[0287] The above 4th page will be explained in more detail below.

[0288] Figure 12 is a drawing for explaining a fourth page according to another embodiment.

[0289] Referring to FIG. 12, a fourth page (2100) according to one embodiment includes farming end confirmation information (2110), farming end confirmation button (2120), and cancel button (2130).

[0290] At this time, the above-mentioned agricultural work completion confirmation information (2110) includes agricultural work type information and agricultural work completion time information.

[0291] At this time, the type of agricultural work information is obtained based on the type of agricultural work selected through the third page described above.

[0292] Additionally, at this time, the farming end time information is obtained based on the time at which an input for the farming end button included in the second page is obtained from the user.

[0293] Additionally, at this time, if user input for the cancel button (2130) is obtained, the second page is provided again.

[0294] When the user input is obtained for the farming work completion confirmation button on page 4, work completion information is generated and the transition to page 1 is made (S1940).

[0295] When a user input is obtained for the farming work completion confirmation button (2120) on the 4th page (2100), work completion information is generated, and the 4th page (2100) is switched to the 1st page.

[0296] At this time, the above-described contents apply to the first page.

[0297] At this time, the work end information includes work end time, work end location, work type information, and worker information.

[0298] In this case, the work completion time is obtained based on the time at which the user's input for the above-mentioned work completion confirmation button (2120) is obtained.

[0299] Additionally, in this case, the work end position can be obtained based on the identification information of the tag.

[0300] Additionally, in this case, the work type information is obtained based on the type of agricultural work selected by the user through the agricultural work type list (2010).

[0301] Additionally, in this case, the worker information may correspond to worker information previously stored in the farm worker terminal.

[0302]

[0303] [Combination of examples of control methods for farmer terminals]

[0304] The first embodiment of the control method of the farm worker terminal described above is an example composed of a first page for inputting the start of farm work and a second page for inputting the end of farm work, and the second embodiment is an example composed of, in addition to the first embodiment, a third page for selecting the type of farm work and a fourth page for confirming the end of farm work.

[0305] Accordingly, the control method of the farm worker terminal described in this specification can be implemented using not only the two examples described above, but also the first page, the second page, and the third page, and can also be implemented using the first page, the second page, and the fourth page, but since these are redundant descriptions, a detailed description will be omitted.

[0306] [Control method of farm worker terminal for further input of farm work progress and configuration of page 2]

[0307]

[0308] Issues requiring supplementation of the control method of the farm worker terminal mentioned above

[0309] In actual greenhouses, there are many cases where one enters a work passage and performs agricultural work, but for various reasons (e.g., being called out to work on other crop rows, to maintain facilities, or to receive training, etc.), one must end the agricultural work before completing all of the agricultural work in that work passage.

[0310] Therefore, even if a farming operation completion input is obtained, there are many cases where farming operations are not 100% completed at that location, so this problem needs to be solved for more accurate farming operation management.

[0311] Composition of the second page according to one embodiment for solving the problem

[0312] FIG. 13 is a drawing for explaining a second page according to one embodiment.

[0313] Referring to FIG. 13, a second page (2200) according to one embodiment includes an indication (2211, 2212) for a crop row on which farming work is performed, an area for inputting a farming work progress rate for the crop row (2221, 2222), and a work end button (2230).

[0314] At this time, the above-described contents may be applied to the task termination button (2230), and the second page described below may be applied in addition to the contents of the second page described above.

[0315] At this time, the second page (2200) according to one embodiment may include an indication (2211, 2212) for two crop rows in which farming is performed in one working passage, as illustrated in FIG. 13, and a farming progress input area (2221, 2222) for each of the two crop rows.

[0316] For example, a second page (2200) according to one embodiment may include a first display (2211) for the right side of a first crop row, a second display (2212) for the left side of a second crop row that shares a work passage with the right side of the first crop row, a first farming progress input area (2221) for the right side of the first crop row, and a second farming progress input area (2222) for the left side of the second crop row.

[0317] Of course, the second page (2200) may only include an indication for one crop row and an area for inputting a farming progress rate for one crop row, but since crop rows are typically located on both sides of one working passage in a greenhouse, the following description will be based on the example in which the second page (2200) includes indications (2211, 2212) for two crop rows on which farming is performed in one working passage and an area for inputting a farming progress rate for each of the two crop rows (2221, 2222), as shown in FIG. 13.

[0318] According to one embodiment, the indication (2211, 2212) for a crop row on which farming work is performed includes location information for the crop row.

[0319] For example, the first mark (2211) includes information that it is the right (R) of the first crop row (A114), and the second mark (2212) includes information that it is the left (L) of the second crop row (A115).

[0320] In addition, according to one embodiment, the farming progress input area (2221, 2222) is an area for inputting the farming progress, and may be configured to input the progress through a sliding method as shown in FIG. 13, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured to input the progress in various ways, such as by inputting the numerical value itself.

[0321] Of course, if the farming progress rate input area (2221, 2222) as shown in Fig. 13 is configured to input the progress rate in a sliding manner in the shape of the row direction (first axis direction), the problem of farmers having difficulty in judging the progress rate can be solved by allowing farmers to input the progress rate for the crop row based on their own location.

[0322] That is, since the crops placed in the greenhouse are arranged in rows, and the farm workers move forward while performing the farming work in order from the entrance of the crop row, the current position of the farm worker can correspond to the farming work progress of the corresponding crop row, which ultimately allows the farm workers to intuitively judge the difficult concept of farming work progress.

[0323] Optional activation of the End Farming button (2230)

[0324] According to one embodiment, the farming end button (2230) can be optionally activated.

[0325] More specifically, the farming end button (2230) is deactivated when the progress rate entered in both the first farming progress rate input area (2221) and the second farming progress rate input area (2222) is 0%, but the farming end button (2230) is activated when the progress rate entered in either the first farming progress rate input area (2221) or the second farming progress rate input area (2222) exceeds 0%.

[0326] This solves the problem of information contamination, where if information on the completion of farming is generated even though the farming progress is 0%, there is only the working time and the working progress is 0%, it becomes an outlier when processing data in the future to calculate working speed, etc.

[0327] More specifically, when the farming progress is 0%, the farming end button (2230) is disabled to prevent the generation of farming end information, thereby fundamentally blocking the acquisition of outlier data and solving the problem.

[0328] Cancel button

[0329] Referring again to FIG. 13, the second page (2200) according to one embodiment further includes a cancel farming button (2240).

[0330] This is to solve the problem that when a farmer goes to perform farming on a crop row other than the current crop row when the farming progress is 0%, the farming end button (2230) is disabled and thus the identification information of the new tag cannot be obtained, even though the farming end input needs to be performed to obtain the identification information of the new tag.

[0331] That is, in this case, when a user input is obtained for the above-described farming cancel button (2240), the second page (2200) is switched to the above-described first page.

[0332] Additionally, according to one embodiment, when an input for the farming end button (2230) is obtained from a user while the farming end button (2230) is inactive, a message guiding the user to input for the farming cancel button (2240) may be output.

[0333] Finally, the second page (2200) according to one embodiment has both a farming end button (2230) and a farming cancel button (2240) to allow provision of the first page, thereby enabling acquisition of identification information of a new tag even when farming is not performed.

[0334] Generating job completion information

[0335] As described above, when a user input is obtained for the farming work end button (2230), work end information is generated.

[0336] At this time, the work completion information may further include agricultural work progress information, and the agricultural work progress information is obtained based on the progress entered in the agricultural work progress input area described above.

[0337] For example, the farming progress information included in the work completion information includes first farming progress information for the right column of the first crop row and second farming progress information for the left column of the second crop row, wherein the first farming progress information is obtained based on the progress entered in the first farming progress input area (2221), and the second farming progress information is obtained based on the progress entered in the second farming progress input area (2222).

[0338] End of work location

[0339] In addition, at this time, the work end information may include the work end position, and as shown in FIG. 13, if the second page (2200) includes indications (2211, 2212) for two crop rows in which farming is performed in one work passage and a farming progress input area (2221, 2222) for each of the two crop rows, it is difficult to know which crop row is the end position.

[0340] Therefore, a rule is needed to reasonably determine the end point of a task, which is explained in more detail below.

[0341] First, among the two crop rows included in the second page (2200), one crop row is a crop row corresponding to the identification information of the tag acquired through the input unit of the farmer terminal, and the other crop row is a crop row that shares a working passage with the crop row corresponding to the identification information of the tag.

[0342] In this case, according to one embodiment, the work end position is determined based on the progress of the crop row corresponding to the identification information of the tag and the crop row sharing the work passage.

[0343] For example, in the case of FIG. 13, if it is assumed that the crop row corresponding to the identification information of the tag is the right column of the first crop row, and the crop row sharing a work passage with the right column of the first crop row is the left column of the second crop row, the work end position is determined based on the progress rate entered in the second agricultural work progress rate input area (2222) among the first agricultural work progress rate input area (2221) and the second agricultural work progress rate input area (2222).

[0344] More specifically, when the progress entered in the second farming progress input area (2222) is 0%, the right column of the first crop row becomes the work end position, and when the progress entered in the second farming progress input area (2222) exceeds 0%, the left column of the second crop row becomes the work end position.

[0345] Indication of where identification information is obtained

[0346] Referring again to FIG. 13, the second page (2200) according to one embodiment may further include a third indication (2250) of the location where the identification information of the tag was obtained.

[0347] This can be provided in the form of various symbols or phrases to allow farmers to easily identify which crop row they have obtained the identification information of the tag from.

[0348] A method for controlling a farm worker terminal using a second page (2200) according to one embodiment

[0349] The contents of the second page (2200) described above can be applied to the second page of the control methods of the farm worker terminal described above.

[0350] For example, as described through FIG. 5, if a farming end input is obtained while the second page (2200) is provided, it may be permitted to provide the first page through the display.

[0351] In addition, for example, when a farming work completion input is obtained while the second page (2200) is provided as described through FIG. 9, work completion information is generated and the second page (2200) can be switched to the first page.

[0352] Additionally, for example, when a farming end input is obtained while the second page (2200) is provided as described through FIG. 10, a fourth page for confirming the end of farming may be provided.

[0353] Control method of farm worker terminal when re-entering after stopping farming work

[0354] In a real greenhouse, you can start working on one row of crops before you finish working on another row.

[0355] In this case, the farmer may have difficulty remembering how far he or she has progressed, and if the farmer is asked to re-enter the farming progress from the beginning, it may end up exceeding 100%.

[0356] For example, you may enter 60% as the farming progress upon first entry, and then enter 60% again upon subsequent entries.

[0357] Accordingly, in order to solve such a problem, a control method of a farmer terminal according to one embodiment provides a second page when tag identification information is obtained through interaction between an input unit and a tag while a first page is provided, and further displays a previously stored farm work progress rate in an farm work progress rate input area of ​​the second page when a specific condition is satisfied.

[0358] At this time, the specific conditions may include whether the type of work is the same, whether the work location is the same, whether the worker is the same, and whether the work day is the same.

[0359] At this time, since the specific condition includes whether the type of work is the same or not, in the case of different farming operations, the work must be performed again from the beginning, so it is necessary to further display the progress of the previously saved farming operation when the same farming operation is performed again.

[0360] In addition, at this time, since the previously stored farming progress is stored for each crop row, it is reasonable to further display the previously stored farming progress only when the working locations are the same, since the specific condition includes whether the working locations are the same.

[0361] In addition, at this time, the above specific condition includes whether the workers are the same, so that the work rates of different workers cannot be combined in the first place, as it may exceed 100% if the work rates of different workers are considered together.

[0362] In addition, at this time, since it is impossible to distinguish whether the work is according to the first farming cycle or the second farming cycle even if the work of the previous day and the work of the next day satisfy all the conditions of the type of work, location of work, and same worker, including whether the specific condition is the same on the same work day, initializing the farming work progress information based on a specific time can increase the stability of the system.

[0363] At this time, the specific time may be, but is not limited to, 24:00 every day.

[0364] Below, for the convenience of understanding, we will briefly explain the second page, which further displays the progress of previously saved farming operations.

[0365] FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining a second page in which a previously stored farming progress rate is further displayed according to one embodiment.

[0366] Referring to FIG. 14, a second page (2300) according to one embodiment includes a farming progress input area (2310), and the farming progress input area (2310) further includes a fourth display (2320) for displaying a previously stored farming progress.

[0367] At this time, since the above-described contents can be applied to the second page (2300), redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0368] Additionally, at this time, the fourth display (2320) is displayed so as to be distinguished from the newly entered farming progress rate (2330).

[0369] Additionally, at this time, the fourth display (2320) is provided so that it cannot be modified by the user.

[0370]

[0371] The method according to the embodiment may be implemented in the form of program commands that can be executed through various computer means and recorded on a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program commands, data files, data structures, etc., alone or in combination. The program commands recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and configured for the embodiment or may be those known and available to those skilled in the art of computer software.
