Map-linked Fertilization Design System for Multi-Option Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current agricultural fertilization design systems only provide single optimum fertilization patterns and do not effectively utilize map data to offer multiple design options based on varying conditions such as fertilizer types and priorities, leading to inefficient fertilization and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
A map-linked fertilization design system that uses computer-based map data to display and design multiple fertilization patterns suitable for specific soil and crop conditions, allowing users to select from 'compound fertilizer only,' 'compound fertilizer+single fertilizer,' or 'single fertilizer only' options, with priorities on tolerance, costs, or application amount, and automatically determines appropriate fertilizer types and amounts within a tolerance range.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single optimum fertilization design pattern is provided, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but it cannot accommodate different fertilization design conditions and priorities
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically generates multiple fertilization design patterns based on user-selected conditions and priorities. The fertilization design means creates different patterns (e.g., compound fertilizer only, compound fertilizer+single fertilizer, single fertilizer only) according to the selected fertilizer pattern and priority conditions, allowing the system to adapt to various fertilization requirements without being statically configured
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters including fertilizer pattern type (compound only, compound+single, single only), priority condition (tolerance, costs, application amount), and tolerance range to generate different fertilization design patterns. By varying these parameters, the system provides multiple optimized solutions tailored to different fertilization design conditions
2Loss of information
If multiple fertilization design patterns are generated and displayed, then users can compare and select the best option, but the information display becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fertilization design result display means segments the multiple fertilization design patterns into distinct, comparable units. Each pattern is displayed with its specific characteristics (fertilizer type, application amount, cost, tolerance compliance) separated and organized, allowing users to systematically compare different options without information overload
Solution Approach 2:
The display system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays multiple fertilization design patterns, shows map data of the agricultural field, presents comparison information, and allows user selection. This multi-functional display reduces information loss by integrating various types of fertilization design information in a unified interface
3Productivity
If manual calculation of fertilization components is performed, then flexibility is maintained, but time consumption and inefficiency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fertilization design means automatically calculates and generates multiple optimized fertilization design patterns based on the selected conditions and soil information, without requiring manual calculation by the user. The system serves itself by autonomously processing the fertilization design task and presenting ready-to-use solutions, significantly improving efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-calculates multiple fertilization design patterns based on different fertilizer patterns and priority conditions before user selection. By performing these calculations in advance automatically, the system eliminates time-consuming manual computations and provides immediate results for comparison and decision-making

AI summary
The present invention aims to provide a system that automatically shows multiple fertilization design patterns suitable for the soil and crop, in linkage with map data and in accordance with fertilization design conditions each including a different fertilizer pattern and priority condition so as to allow the user to compare the multiple fertilization patterns on the same screen. The system includes units configured to receive designation of an agricultural field on the map, then to receive a fertilization design condition including a fertilizer pattern and a priority condition, to design fertilization patterns for the agricultural field, and to display the designed fertilization patterns on the same screen.
