Description

  The present invention relates to a fruit growing diagnosis system, a fruit tree information input terminal, and a fruit growing diagnosis method.

  When performing fruit production, the producer records various information, knows the state of the day and daily changes, performs farming activities such as irrigation, control, fertilization, and pruning from the state and change, and produces fruits. In many cases, the judgment is based on experience, but in the case of an inexperienced producer or a climate change that has never been experienced, the judgment becomes ambiguous.

  Therefore, various studies have been conducted in order to stably produce high quality fruit trees. For example, for irrigation, a method of judging by the hardness of the fruit (see Patent Document 1), a method of judging by measuring the size of the fruit (see Patent Document 2), a method of judging by measuring the amount of sap ( A technique such as Patent Document 3) has been developed.

  However, as described in Patent Document 1, in the determination methods using machines such as Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, the machine is expensive, and general producers cannot use the machine, or the price of the machine is high. In many cases, you cannot get a reasonable income.

  The water management method of Patent Document 4 prepares a cultivation model of water potential from the 60th day after flowering of a fruit tree to the harvest date in order to achieve the target sugar content and acid content of acidity. The water potential value was measured at 10-day intervals from the 60th day after flowering, and the daily integrated value of the measured water potential from the 60th day to the 90th day and the daily integrated value of the water potential of the cultivation model were obtained and measured. The difference ΔS of the water potential daily integrated value obtained by subtracting the cultivation model from is obtained. Then, the water potential of the cultivation model is corrected so as to compensate for the difference ΔS in the period from the 90th day to the end of the model, and thereafter watering is performed so as to approach the corrected model water potential value.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a fruit growing diagnosis system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The fruit growing diagnosis system 1 in FIG. 1 is in the form of a terminal that can be carried by an operator and input on a farm. The fruit growing diagnosis system 1 takes information representing the state of fruit trees or fruits as input, stores it as fruit history data, and generates information on the treatment necessary for fruit growing based on predetermined judgment criteria from the fruit history data. indicate. The fruit growing diagnosis system 1 includes an input unit 11, a data generation unit 12, a history data storage unit 13, a determination unit 14, and a display unit 15.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a different configuration example of the fruit growing diagnosis system according to the first embodiment. The fruit growing diagnosis system 2 in FIG. 2 has a configuration in which the fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis apparatus 4 are connected by a network N. The fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis apparatus 4 transmit and receive data mainly by wireless communication. The fruit tree information input terminal 3 includes an input unit 11, a data generation unit 12, a communication unit 16, and a display unit 15. The fruit growing diagnosis device 4 includes a communication unit 17, a history data storage unit 13, and a determination unit 14. The input unit 11, the data generation unit 12, the display unit 15, the history storage unit, and the determination unit 14 are substantially the same as the configuration in FIG.

  The input unit 11 in FIG. 1 or 2 includes, for example, a keyboard or a touch panel so that the operator can perform an input operation on the field. The input unit 11 is preferably a method of selecting from a menu with a cursor key or a method of selecting with a radio button, rather than a method of inputting characters. The input unit 11 receives an input operation for designating a fruit tree or fruit and an input operation for information indicating the state of the fruit tree or fruit, and sends a signal generated by the operation to the data generation unit 12.

  The input unit 11 may include a microphone and voice recognition means so that data can be input by voice. The fruit tree or fruit is designated by, for example, recognizing identification information for identifying the fruit tree or fruit from an image obtained by photographing a barcode or QR code attached to the fruit tree or fruit with a camera in the fruit growing diagnosis system 1 You may use the method to do.

  Examples of information representing the state of fruit trees or fruits include, for example, fruit size, fruit color, fruit hardness, percentage of fruit tree leaves rolled, fruit sugar content, fruit acidity, fruit tree sap flow, fruit tree The amount of water in the root of the soil. These pieces of information may be continuous numerical values or may be stepwise evaluation values.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a fruit moisture stress measuring device. The moisture stress measuring device is obtained by connecting a plurality of types of fruit models made of synthetic resin, each having a different hardness, simulating fruit. Each fruit model 22 has a shape imitating a fruit in a citrus vacuole development period, and is formed of a synthetic resin material. In addition, as a synthetic resin material, what has elasticity is employ | adopted suitably. For example, silicone or the like can be employed. In the citrus vacuole development stage, the hardness of the fruit can be identified by touching the hardness of the fruit with fingers and comparing the feel of the hardness with a plurality of fruit models 22 having different hardness.

  For example, in the fruit models 26, 14, and 18 having different hardnesses, as shown in FIG. 3, the fruit model 26 is set to level 1, the fruit model 24 is set to level 3, the fruit model 28 is set to level 5, and the fruit models 26 and 14 are set. If the hardness is between 2, the level is 2; if the hardness is between the fruit models 24 and 18, the level is 4. The hardness of the fruit identified using the moisture stress measuring tool of FIG. 3 can be input from the input unit 11 and used as the hardness data of the fruit.

  The data generation unit 12 in FIG. 1 or 2 generates computer-readable data representing the state of fruit trees or fruits from the input operation received by the input unit 11. The data generation unit 12 includes a time measuring unit that outputs information on the date and time at that time. The data generation unit 12 associates the generated data with the date and time when the data was input, and stores it as fruit history data in the history data storage unit 13.

  In the fruit tree information input terminal 3 of FIG. 2, the data generation unit 12 sends the generated fruit history data to the communication unit 16. The communication unit 16 transmits the fruit history data to the fruit growing diagnosis device 4. The fruit growing diagnosis device 4 stores the fruit history data received by the communication unit 17 in the history data storage unit 13. The history data storage unit 13 stores, for each fruit tree or fruit, fruit history data representing the state in time series in association with the date and time.

  The determination unit 14 of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 holds, for example, a determination formula that generates information on treatments necessary for fruit growth from fruit history data. The determination unit 14 generates fruit growing treatment information from the fruit history data according to the determination formula. Hereinafter, a method for generating fruit growing treatment information will be described with a specific example.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a criterion for determining whether or not irrigation is necessary from the hardness of a fruit. The table format surrounded by the ruled line in FIG. 4 is a summary of the judgment criteria for easy viewing. The lower part of FIG. 4 shows a judgment formula obtained by developing the above tabular judgment criteria into a logical formula.

  As the determination criterion, for example, the hardness of the fruit identified using the fruit model shown in FIG. 3 is used. In the example of FIG. 4, until the time of August 15th, it is determined that the average hardness of the plurality of fruits is level 4.5 or higher and irrigation is unnecessary, and water is irrigated when the hardness is less than level 4.5. Is determined to be necessary, and if the hardness is 3.0 or less, irrigation is required. After August 15th, since the hardness of the fruit will change, the criteria will be changed, and irrigation is not necessary at 2.7 or higher, irrigation is required at less than 2.7, and irrigation is required at 2.0 or lower.

  The judgment formula used in the judgment unit 14 can use a judgment standard set by comparing the research result with the data recorded by the recorder. The determination unit 14 reads the determination criteria set from the research results, and converts each of the determination criteria into a numerical determination formula.

  The determination unit 14 reads the fruit history data from the history data storage unit 13 and performs setting of effective digits, unit conversion, and numerical value alignment. Then, in light of the judgment formula in which the fruit history data is set, fruit growing treatment information corresponding to the matching condition is generated. The determination unit 14 sends the generated fruit growing treatment information to the display unit 15.

  The display unit 15 displays the fruit growing treatment information sent from the determination unit 14 in a form that allows the operator to recognize the contents. For example, the display unit 15 adds a date and an identification code for identifying the target fruit tree, and displays a sentence representing the fruit growing treatment information on the screen. The method of displaying is not limited to the method of displaying the text on the screen, and may be read out by voice, printed on recording paper, or combined and displayed.

  In the configuration in which the fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis device 4 in FIG. 2 are connected via the network N, the communication unit 17 transmits the fruit growing treatment information generated by the determination unit 14 to the fruit tree information input terminal 3. The communication unit 16 of the fruit tree information input terminal 3 sends the received fruit growing treatment information to the display unit 15. The display unit 15 displays fruit growing treatment information in the same manner as the display unit 15 of FIG.

  The fruit growing diagnosis systems 1 and 2 may be connected to a field server (not shown) that collects various data representing the state of the field environment via a network and acquire data from the field server. The field server includes sensors such as field temperature, humidity, precipitation, solar radiation (sunshine duration), wind direction, wind speed, and soil moisture, and is installed in the field to collect data. The fruit growing diagnosis systems 1 and 2 may be configured to generate not only the fruit history data but also the condition of the environmental condition of the field acquired from the field server and generate the fruit growing treatment information.

  Further, the fruit growing diagnosis systems 1 and 2 may access data providing weather information via the Internet and refer to data on weather information (weather forecast). The fruit growing diagnosis systems 1 and 2 may be configured to generate fruit growing treatment information by adding not only the fruit history data but also weather information conditions.

  FIG. 5A is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of fruit growth diagnosis according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5A corresponds to the configuration of the fruit growing diagnosis system 1 of FIG. The input unit 11 of the fruit growing and diagnosing system 1 carried by the worker in the field waits for an input for designating the fruit tree or fruit to be diagnosed (step S01, step S02; NO). If there is an input designating a fruit tree or fruit (step S02; YES), an input operation of an item of information representing the state of the target fruit tree or fruit is accepted (step S03). Then, fruit history data is generated from the input operation (step S04).

  If there are other input items for the target fruit tree or fruit (step S05; YES), the process returns to step and accepts the input of the item. If there is no other input item in the target fruit tree or fruit (step S05; NO), the generated fruit history data is added and stored in the history data storage unit 13 (step S06).

  The determination unit reads the history data (step S07), generates the fruit growing treatment information corresponding to the condition that the determination formula meets as described above (step S08), and sends it to the display unit 15. The display unit 15 displays the fruit growing treatment information (Step S09). If there is a remaining target fruit tree or fruit to be diagnosed in the field where the worker is present (step S10; YES), the process returns to step S01, and the process is repeated from the reception of the input for designating the target fruit tree or fruit. If there is no remaining target fruit tree or fruit (step S10; NO), the fruit growing diagnosis process is terminated.

  FIG. 5B is a flowchart showing another example of the operation for fruit growth diagnosis according to Embodiment 1. FIG. 5B corresponds to the configuration of the fruit growing diagnosis system 2 of FIG. The operation of FIG. 5B divides the operation of FIG. 5A into the fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis device 4, and between data generation and history data additional storage, and between determination, treatment information generation and treatment information display. The operation of transmitting / receiving fruit history data or fruit growing treatment information is added.

  From the target fruit tree or fruit designation input reception (step S11) of FIG. 5B to the determination of the presence or absence of other input items (step S15) is the same as step S01 to step S05 of FIG. 5A. In FIG. 5B, when fruit history data of one target fruit tree or fruit is generated (step S15; NO), the generated fruit history data is transmitted to the fruit growing diagnosis device 4 (step S16).

  The fruit growing diagnosis device 4 is waiting for reception of fruit history data (step S20, step S21; NO). When fruit history data is received from the fruit tree information input terminal 3 (step S21; YES), the fruit history data is additionally stored in the fruit history data storage unit 13 as fruit history data of the corresponding target fruit tree or fruit (step S21). S22). The operation of step S22 to step S24 in FIG. 5B is the same as the operation of step S06 to step S08 in FIG. 5A. When the fruit growing diagnosis device 4 generates the fruit growing treatment information (step S24), it transmits the generated fruit growing treatment information to the fruit tree information input terminal 3 (step S25).

  When the fruit tree information input terminal 3 receives the fruit growing treatment information (step S17), the fruit tree information input terminal 3 displays it on the display unit 15 (step S18). The operations in steps S18 and S19 in FIG. 5B are the same as the operations in steps S09 and S10 in FIG. 5A.

  As described above, according to the fruit growing diagnosis systems 1 and 2 of the first embodiment, it is possible to shorten the time of daily recording of the fruit tree producer. And it becomes possible to support the stable production and quality improvement of a fruit.

  Furthermore, it becomes possible for the worker himself to make a judgment regarding irrigation and the like based on the recorded value without making an inquiry to a farming instructor or the like. The reason for this is that the criteria for growth can be stored in advance, and the judgment result can be referred to by automatically making a comparison judgment with the input data.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the fruit growing diagnosis system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In Embodiment 2, even when the fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis device 4 cannot communicate with each other, the fruit tree or fruit information is input and stored. The fruit tree information input terminal 3 of FIG. 6 includes a history data storage unit 18 in addition to the configuration of the fruit tree information input terminal 3 of FIG. The configuration of the fruit growing diagnostic device 4 in FIG. 6 is the same as that in FIG.

  The fruit tree information input terminal 3 in FIG. 6 adds and stores the fruit history data generated by the data generation unit 12 in the history data storage unit 18. Then, the fruit history data is transmitted to the fruit growing diagnosis device 4. While the target fruit tree or fruit fruit history data is being generated, communication is not possible with the fruit growing diagnosis device 4, for example, when the field or the target fruit tree is out of the radio wave reach. It is not performed but only stored in the history data storage unit 18. Accordingly, since the latest fruit history data input to the determination unit 14 is not sent during that period, fruit growing treatment information is not displayed.

  When the fruit tree information input terminal 3 becomes communicable with the fruit growing and diagnosing apparatus 4, the fruit tree information input terminal 3 transmits the fruit history data that has been stored without transmitting to the fruit growing and diagnosing apparatus 4. When the fruit growing diagnosis device 4 receives the fruit history data, the fruit growing diagnosis apparatus 4 generates fruit growing treatment information of the target fruit and transmits it to the fruit tree information input terminal 3.

  In addition, it is preferable that the communication units 16 and 17 add the error detection code or the error correction code to the data to be transmitted and transmit the data. The communication units 16 and 17 request retransmission when an error is detected in the received data, and the communication unit 16 or 17 on the transmission side receives a retransmission request when receiving a retransmission request or after transmitting data. The data may be retransmitted when the data cannot be received within the predetermined time.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of fruit growing diagnosis according to the second embodiment. The operations in steps S31 to S35 in FIG. 7 are the same as those in steps S11 to S15 in FIG. 5B. In Embodiment 2, after storing fruit history data (step S36), it is determined whether or not communication with the fruit growing diagnosis device 4 is possible (step S37). If communication is possible (step S37; YES), the fruit history data is transmitted to the fruit growing and diagnosing apparatus 4 (step S38), and the operations in steps S38 to S41 are the same as those in steps S16 to S19 in FIG. 5B. Moreover, the operation | movement (step S42-step S47) of the fruit growth diagnostic apparatus 4 is the same as that of step S20-step S25 of FIG. 5B.

  If communication is not possible in step S37 (step S37; NO), the fruit history data is not transmitted, and the fruit growing treatment information is not received and displayed. It is determined whether there is any remaining (step S41).

  According to the fruit growing diagnosis system 2 of the second embodiment, even when the fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis apparatus 4 cannot communicate, the information representing the state of the target fruit tree or fruit is input on the field, and the fruit Historical data can be generated. As a result, there is no need to input data again to the fruit growing diagnosis device 4, and there is no possibility that a transcription error occurs.

(Embodiment 3)
In Embodiment 3, the identification information which specifies the fruit tree or fruit of the object which inputs the information showing a state is displayed. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a fruit growing diagnosis system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating a different configuration example of the fruit growing diagnosis system according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the fruit growing diagnosis system 1 in FIG. 8 is in the form of a terminal that can be carried by an operator and input on a field. The fruit growing diagnosis system 2 in FIG. 9 has a configuration in which the fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis apparatus 4 are connected by a network N as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, the fruit growing diagnosis systems 1 and 2 of Embodiment 3 include a target identification display generation unit 19 in addition to the configuration of FIG. 1 or FIG. 6. The target identification display generation unit 19 extracts identification information for identifying the target fruit tree or fruit from the fruit history data stored in the history data storage units 13 and 18, and generates data for displaying the identification information. Then, data for displaying the identification information is sent to the display unit 15. The display unit 15 displays the identification information of the target fruit tree or fruit prior to the input operation of information representing the state of the target fruit tree or fruit. With reference to the display, the operator can know the target fruit tree or fruit to which information representing the state is to be input prior to the input operation.

  The display of the identification information that identifies the target fruit tree or fruit is, for example, the display of the name described on the label attached to the fruit tree or fruit. By such display, the operator can specify the target fruit tree or fruit. Alternatively, the shape of the field is displayed, and the position of the target fruit tree is displayed as a symbol or icon in the field. Further, the shape of the target fruit tree is displayed and the position of the target fruit is displayed as a symbol or It may be displayed as an icon. By displaying in this way, the operator can know the position of the target fruit tree or fruit in the field.

  Moreover, it can be configured to designate a target fruit tree or fruit by tapping a displayed symbol or icon with a finger or by overlapping a pointer on the screen and pressing a specific switch. Furthermore, the item to be input may be displayed in a state where the target fruit tree or fruit is selected. With this configuration, the operator can easily perform an input operation for designating a target fruit tree or fruit.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of fruit growing diagnosis according to the third embodiment. The flow chart of FIG. 10 assumes the configuration of the fruit growing diagnosis system 1 of FIG. In Embodiment 3, prior to receiving an input operation for designating a target fruit tree or fruit in the input unit 11,

The display unit 15 of the fruit growing and diagnosing system 1 carried by the worker in the field displays identification information (in this case, information on the target fruit tree / fruit candidate) that identifies the target fruit tree or fruit to be diagnosed (step S51). . The subsequent operations in steps S52 to S62 are the same as those in steps S01 to S10 in FIG. 5A. If there is a remaining target fruit tree or fruit to be diagnosed in the field where the worker is present (step S62; YES), the process returns to step S51 and repeats from the display of the identification information for identifying the target fruit tree or fruit.

  Similarly, the fruit growing diagnosis system 2 of FIG. 9 can be configured as an operation in which the target fruit tree / fruit candidate display is first added to the flowchart of FIG. 5B.

  According to the fruit breeding diagnosis systems 1 and 2 of the third embodiment, the information for specifying the target fruit tree or fruit is displayed, so that the operator can select the target fruit tree or fruit without hesitation. And it can prevent forgetting the input of the information showing the fruit tree or fruit state of object. As a result, it can be expected that fruit history data is reliably collected for the target fruit tree or fruit.

(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a fruit growing diagnosis system according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, an apparatus that actually executes fruit growing treatment is caused to execute the treatment based on the generated fruit growing treatment information. The fruit growing diagnosis system 1 according to Embodiment 4 includes an operation command generation unit 20 and a command unit 21 in addition to the configuration of FIG. The growing treatment device 5 is connected to the command unit 21 of the fruit growing diagnosis system 1. The growth treatment device 5 is, for example, a device that irrigates fruit trees, a device that applies (spreads) fertilizer to the soil under the fruit trees, or a device that sprays chemicals on the fruit trees.

  The operation command generation unit 20 generates an operation command to be executed by the growing treatment device 5 based on the fruit growing treatment information generated by the determination unit 14. For example, in response to the necessity of irrigation or the necessity of irrigation generated by the determination formula shown in FIG. Specifically, the operation command may be a command to open a tube for irrigation or a command to add fertilizer.

  The command unit 21 in FIG. 11 transmits a command to operate the breeding treatment device 5 to the growth treatment device 5 in accordance with the command generated by the operation command generation unit 20. As a result, the breeding treatment device 5 that has received the command to actuate is actuated, and the treatment according to the fruit breeding treatment information is executed. Thereby, it becomes possible to operate the fruit growing treatment apparatus 5 automatically from the fruit growing treatment information which the judgment part 14 produced | generated.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of fruit growing diagnosis according to the fourth embodiment. The operations in steps S71 to S78 in FIG. 12 are the same as those in steps S01 to S08 in FIG. 5A. After the fruit growing diagnosis system 1 generates the fruit growing treatment information by the determination unit 14 (step S78), the operation command generating unit 20 generates a command for operating (including not operating) the growing treatment apparatus 5. (Step S79). Command unit 21 transmits an operation command to breeding treatment device 5 (step S80).

  In this case, the determination unit 14 causes the display unit 15 to display treatment information indicating that the breeding treatment device 5 has been operated (step S81). An operator who has input information representing the state of a fruit tree or fruit can know that the breeding apparatus 5 has been operated based on the input. If there is a fruit tree or fruit remaining to be diagnosed in the field where the worker is present (step S82; YES), returning to the first step is the same as in FIG. 5A.

  According to the fruit growing diagnosis system 1 of the fourth embodiment, the growing treatment apparatus 5 can be automatically operated from the fruit growing treatment information generated based on the fruit history data.

  In addition, Embodiment 4 demonstrated the form of the terminal which an operator can carry and input operation in an agricultural field. Needless to say, the configuration of the fourth embodiment can be combined with the configurations of the fruit tree information input terminal 3 and the fruit growing diagnosis device 4 of FIG. 2, FIG. 6 or FIG.
