Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current agriculture support systems lack the ability to efficiently create and correct scheduled traveling routes for agricultural machines in real-time, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors in field operations.
Innovation Solution
An agriculture support device and system that includes a traveling creator to generate scheduled routes, a display controller to show virtual traveling status, and a correction permitting controller to allow for route adjustments based on external terminal requests, enabling dynamic route planning and execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a scheduled traveling route is created in advance for an agricultural machine, then operational planning is improved, but the ability to adapt to real-time field conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static pre-planned routes to dynamic routes that can be adjusted in real-time. The correction permitting controller enables the scheduled traveling route to be modified based on external terminal requests, allowing the system to adapt to changing field conditions while maintaining the structure of planned operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the external terminal can request corrections to the scheduled route, and the correction permitting controller processes these requests to update the route. This feedback loop enables continuous optimization of the traveling route based on actual field conditions observed during operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If real-time correction of traveling routes is permitted, then operational flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The external terminal serves as an intermediary between the operational needs and the correction permitting controller. This intermediary structure simplifies the control system by providing a dedicated interface for route correction requests, managing the complexity of real-time adjustments through a standardized communication channel.
Solution Approach 2:
The correction permitting controller is designed to handle multiple types of route corrections through a unified interface. The system can process various correction requests (route adjustments, timing modifications, priority changes) through the same control mechanism, reducing overall system complexity despite the versatility of corrections permitted.
3Loss of information
If virtual traveling status is displayed on external terminal, then monitoring capability is improved, but information transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual copy of the traveling status displayed on the external terminal rather than transmitting all raw sensor data. This virtual representation provides comprehensive monitoring capability while significantly reducing data transmission requirements, as only processed status information needs to be communicated.

AI summary
An agriculture support device includes a traveling creator to create a scheduled traveling route of an agricultural machine in an agricultural field, a display controller to display on an external terminal a virtual traveling status of the agricultural machine to travel on the scheduled traveling route created by the traveling creator, and a correction permitting controller to permit correction of the scheduled traveling route created by the traveling creator when the external terminal requests the correction. The display controller displays, on the external terminal, the virtual traveling status and a result traveling status of the agricultural machine that has traveled on the scheduled traveling route.
