Display Apparatus for Dynamic Yield Aggregation in Farm Fields
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In large-scale farms, displaying yield information for multiple blocks is cumbersome due to the large amount of data, requiring significant labor to designate conditions for graph display, especially when multiple graphs are needed to analyze harvesting situations.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus that acquires data on cultivation situations for each block, associating attributes like crop type and location, and uses a display control unit to aggregate and display yields based on selected attribute values, allowing easy switching between different attribute values for graphical representation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If yield information for multiple blocks is displayed individually, then detailed harvesting situation analysis is enabled, but the amount of information becomes too large and labor to designate display conditions increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the farm field into multiple blocks, each with its own yield data and attributes. By organizing data at the block level and enabling selective display of specific blocks or attribute groups, the system reduces information overload while maintaining detailed analysis capability. Users can segment the display to show only relevant blocks or aggregate by specific attributes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal display system that can handle multiple attributes (crop type, variety, grade, location) and multiple aggregation methods through a single interface. The same display apparatus can aggregate yields by different attributes or show individual block data without requiring separate systems, reducing the need for multiple graphs and manual condition designation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple graphs are displayed to analyze harvesting situations under various conditions, then comprehensive analysis is enabled, but the labor to designate conditions for each graph increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-configures the display system with multiple attribute options and aggregation methods ready for use. Users can select from pre-defined attribute groups (crop type, variety, grade, location) and the system automatically generates appropriate graphs without requiring manual condition designation. This preliminary setup of display parameters reduces the time and labor needed to create multiple analysis graphs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic display system where graphs can be automatically generated and switched based on user selections of attributes or blocks. The system can dynamically aggregate data by different attributes or filter by selected blocks without requiring manual reconfiguration. This dynamic generation of multiple graphs from a single data source reduces the labor to designate conditions for each graph.

AI summary
This invention provides an apparatus having an acquisition unit for acquiring data representing a measured value concerning a cultivation situation in a farm field, and a display control unit for displaying the measured value, wherein if the result of aggregating the measured value represented by the data for each attribute value of a first attribute is displayed and a user selects a first attribute value of the first attribute, the display control unit aggregates the measured value having the first attribute value, for each attribute value of a second attribute, and displays the measured value, and if the user selects a second attribute value of the second attribute, the display control unit aggregates the measured value having the second attribute value of the second attribute, for each attribute value of the first attribute, and displays the measured value.
