When the external server 20 receives the request information for the implementation schedule information including the identification number of the farm field from the mobile terminal 30, based on the received identification number of the farm field, the implementation schedule information of the farm field corresponding to the identification number ( information such as details of farm work to be performed today in the corresponding field) is extracted from the work schedule plan stored in the database 24 and transmitted to the mobile terminal 30 . As a result, the mobile terminal 30 can acquire the implementation schedule information for the field where the sign 40 is set up from the external server 20, and display it on the display 34, so that the farm worker can obtain the information about the farm where the sign 40 is set up. It is possible to display today's schedule information in .

Next, farm work registration processing and farm work confirmation processing in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing farm work registration processing according to this embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing farm work confirmation processing according to this embodiment. First, based on FIG. 3, the agricultural work registration process according to the present embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, in step S101, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 performs a process of creating a farm growing procedure. Here, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for creating a growing procedure for agricultural products. The farm work manager can cause the terminal device 10 to display a screen for creating a procedure for growing crops by using the input unit 13 of the terminal device 10. On the screen, the type of crop, variety, work content, work date, etc. can be displayed. Enter the input information for In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, in addition to field work such as rice planting and herbicide spraying, outside field work such as cleaning and tidying, machine maintenance, disinfection, drying, seed soaking, or seed sowing is performed. Work can also be included in the work content and input.

Also, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a detailed registration screen for training procedures. As shown in FIG. 6, the agricultural work manager can input information on agricultural chemicals and fertilizers to be used as input information via the input unit 13 of the terminal device 10 . In this embodiment, a default growing procedure (master of growing procedure) is registered for each type/variety of agricultural products in the storage device 12 of the terminal device 10 having a database function. 10, the default breeding procedure can be obtained from the storage unit 12 and displayed on the screen. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the farm work manager can easily create a training procedure by simply inputting the work date (this time's scheduled date). On the screen shown in FIG. 5, it is also possible to add new work contents and delete default work contents.

In step S102, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 performs a process of creating an agricultural field ledger. Here, FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for creating an agricultural field ledger. The agricultural work manager causes the display 14 of the terminal device 10 to display a screen for creating a field ledger as shown in FIG. (including crops and varieties to be planted) can be assigned to each field. As a result, it is possible to set the types and varieties of crops, work details, work dates, and the like for each field. As shown in FIG. 8, the farm field ledger is linked with the aerial photograph. For example, by clicking on the column indicating the field in the screen shown in FIG. 7, the screen switches to the screen shown in FIG. You can also check it on the map. Note that FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an aerial photograph of a farm field associated with the farm field ledger.

In step S103, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 creates a work schedule plan. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 , the terminal device 10 creates a work schedule plan in which the growing procedures assigned to each field in step S102 are listed in chronological order, and displays it on the display 14 . Note that FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for creating a work schedule plan. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the top row shows the crop name "Koganemochi", the field number "0347", and the field name "Kaminaomi 347" on May 13 (Sunday), May It is possible to grasp that the work will be carried out on Tuesday, May 15 and Wednesday, May 23. For example, if the agricultural work manager wants to know the details of the work on May 13 (Sun), the details of the work are displayed by clicking on May 13 (Sun).

In step S104, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 corrects the work schedule plan created in step S103. As shown in FIG. 9, the work schedule plan displays the work contents of each field in a list for each day. The work schedule can be modified by changing some of the work contents to another date. It should be noted that if there is no need to correct the work schedule plan, there is no need to perform the processing of step S104.

In step S105, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 transmits the work schedule created in step S103 or the work schedule revised in step S104 to the external server 20 via the communication unit 15. is stored in the database 24 of This completes the farm work registration process for creating a work schedule plan in which the growing procedure for each field is registered. Then, using the work schedule plan created by the farm work registration process shown in FIG. 3, the farm work confirmation process shown in FIG. 4 is performed. The farm work confirmation process shown in FIG. 4 will be described below.

In the farm work confirmation process shown in FIG. 4, for example, before the farm work manager or the farm worker starts today's work, the terminal device 10 or the mobile terminal 30 is used to check the implementation schedule information including today's work content. Then, after the start of today's work, the work execution status is input and confirmed, and the work results are registered. In the farm work confirmation process according to this embodiment, steps S201 to S203 are executed by the terminal device 10, steps S204 to S208 are executed by the mobile terminal 30 and the external server 20, and step S209 is executed by the terminal device 10. be.

Steps S201 to S203 are processes in which, for example, a farm work manager or a farm worker confirms and prints today's work schedule information using the terminal device 10 before starting today's work. Specifically, in step S<b>201 , the execution schedule information stored in the storage unit 12 is acquired by the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 and displayed on the display 14 . The farm work manager or the farm work worker can appropriately select the field, person in charge, date, etc. for checking the implementation schedule information. In such a case, the implementation schedule information corresponding to the selected conditions is displayed on the display 14. can do. Here, FIG. 10 is an example of implementation schedule information displayed in step S201, and is a diagram showing an example of implementation schedule information of a specific person in charge. In this way, the farm work manager and the farm worker can confirm the work to be done today. In step S<b>202 , the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the farm work manager or the farm worker has input an instruction to print the implementation schedule information via the input unit 13 . If there is an instruction to print the execution schedule information, the process proceeds to step S203, and the execution schedule information displayed in step S202 is printed.

Steps S204 to S208 are processes for, for example, a farm worker to actually go to a field, confirm the field he will work on today and the content of the work, and input the work status. In step S<b>204 , the mobile terminal 30 carried by the farm worker transmits an acquisition request for acquiring implementation schedule information to the server 20 , and the server 20 receives the acquisition request transmitted from the mobile terminal 30 . Then, in step S205, the external server 20 determines whether or not the acquisition request acquired in step S204 includes the field identification number. In the present embodiment, a farm worker carrying a mobile terminal 30 actually goes to a field to work. However, if the fields are densely packed, it may not be possible for the farm worker to distinguish the field where the farm worker is working. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, a sign 40 is set up for each field, and the agricultural worker brings the mobile terminal 30 close to the sign 40 to read the identification number of the field from the RF tag 41 embedded in the sign 40. As a result, the mobile terminal 30 can transmit a request to acquire the implementation schedule information to the external server 20 together with the field identification number. In such a case, in step S205, it is determined that the acquisition request for the implementation schedule information acquired in step S204 includes the field identification number, and the process proceeds to step S207. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in order to confirm the farm work that the farm worker is in charge of, the farm worker identifies the person in charge via the mobile terminal 30 without specifying the field, and acquires the implementation schedule information. Instructions can be entered, which again does not include a field identification number, so the flow proceeds to step S206.

In step S<b>206 , since the field identification number is not included, the external server 20 extracts the implementation schedule information without limiting the fields stored in the database 24 and transmits it to the mobile terminal 30 . If the acquisition request transmitted from the mobile terminal 30 includes information such as the field, person in charge, and date for checking the implementation schedule information in the request information, the external server 20 The implementation schedule information according to the conditions is transmitted to the mobile terminal 30 . Thereby, the processing unit 31 of the mobile terminal 30 displays the execution schedule information according to the conditions included in the request information on the display 34 .

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S205 that the request for acquisition of implementation schedule information includes the field identification number, the process proceeds to step S207. In step S207, the external server 20 extracts today's implementation schedule information for the field corresponding to the field identification number from the work schedule stored in the database 24, and transmits the information from the external server 20 to the portable terminal 30. be. The mobile terminal 30 displays the received implementation schedule information on the display 34 . Here, FIG. 11 is an example of implementation schedule information displayed on the display 34 of the mobile terminal 30. As shown in FIG. When there is work to be done in the field corresponding to the identification number, the content of the work to be done in the field is displayed on the display 34 of the mobile terminal 30 as shown in FIG. 11(A). This allows the farm worker to grasp the details of the work to be done in the field. On the other hand, if there is no work to be performed in the field, such as when the farm worker has made a mistake in the field where the work is to be performed, as shown in FIG. is displayed on the display 34 of the mobile terminal 30 .

In step S208, the mobile terminal 30 is used to input the implementation status. For example, after starting the work, the farm worker displays a screen for registering the implementation status through the input unit 33 of the mobile terminal 30, as shown in FIGS. be able to. In the example shown in FIG. 12, when today's work schedule information is registered in the field, the person in charge of performing the work and the work content are based on the work schedule information, as shown in FIG. 12(A). Is displayed. In addition, when today's implementation schedule information is not registered in the field, or when performing work that is not in the implementation schedule information due to the schedule, the farm worker displays " You can select "work outside the instructions". In this case, as shown in FIG. 12(B), the farm worker can change or add the person in charge of performing the work and the content of the work via the input unit 33 of the mobile terminal 30. .

Further, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the screen for registering the implementation status displays "Start", "Interruption", and "End" for the implementation status of the work. The worker can select and input the current implementation status from these implementation statuses. For example, a farm worker selects "Start" as the implementation status on the screen when starting farm work. Further, the farm worker selects "suspended" as the implementation status on the screen when suspending the farm work, and selects "end" as the implementation status on the screen when ending the farm work. When the implementation status is selected via the input unit 33, a screen for confirming the selection of the implementation status is displayed as shown in FIG. 12(C). The implementation status information registered on the screen shown in FIG. 12 (information on the person in charge, work content, implementation status, etc.) is transmitted by the processing unit 31 of the mobile terminal 30 to the external server 20 via the communication unit 35, It is stored in the database 24 of the external server 20 as performance record information. Note that FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for registering the implementation status.

In step S209, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 confirms the implementation status. For example, at any time, the farm work manager displays a screen for checking the progress of work in each field on the display 14 of the terminal device 10 via the input unit 13 of the terminal device 10, as shown in FIG. can be displayed. In this case, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 acquires the implementation schedule information and the implementation status information of each field from the external server 20 via the communication unit 15 . Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the processing unit 11 displays the implementation schedule and the implementation status of each field in association with each other on the display 14 (in the example shown in FIG. 13, the implementation status is displayed as the status). . Thereby, the farm work manager can grasp the implementation status of the work in each field. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 14, the implementation status of each field is associated with the aerial photograph, and the implementation status of each field can be visually grasped. In particular, by changing the color of the field in the aerial photograph according to the implementation status, the implementation status of each field can be easily grasped visually. In addition, FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of an aerial photograph of a field associated with the screen for confirming the implementation status. Note that the process of step S209 is performed when necessary and can be omitted.

In step S210, the processing unit 11 of the terminal device 10 registers the implementation record (implementation content, person in charge, implementation start time, implementation end time, implementation status, memo, etc.). For example, if necessary, the farm work manager acquires the implementation status information from the database 24 via the input unit 13 of the terminal device 10, and registers the implementation results of each field as shown in FIG. is displayed on the display 14, and the implementation status information (work content, person in charge, implementation status) can be changed. The changed implementation status information is transmitted to and stored in the database 24 of the external server 20 via the communication unit 15 . Note that the process of step S210 can also be omitted.

As described above, in the farming system 100 according to the first embodiment, the farming system 100 includes the terminal device 10, the external server 20, the mobile terminal 30, and the sign 40 set up in the field. 20 includes a storage device 22 that stores a work schedule plan in which procedures for growing crops are registered for each field, and a mobile terminal 30 that transmits execution schedule information based on the work schedule plan to the mobile terminal 30 in response to a request from the mobile terminal 30. and a processing device 21, the sign 40 has identification information of the field on which the sign 40 is erected, the portable terminal 30 has a reading unit 36 that reads the identification information from the sign 40, and the identification information from the external server 20. and a processing unit 31 that acquires the implementation schedule information of the corresponding field. As a result, in the farm management system according to the first embodiment, when the farm worker reads the identification information of the field from the sign 40 using the mobile terminal 30, the content of the work to be performed in the field is displayed on the mobile terminal 30. Therefore, even when a plurality of fields are densely packed, it is possible to easily grasp the work to be performed in each field. In particular, in the past, it was known to use a GPS (Global Positioning System) to identify the field where work is to be carried out, but such technology cannot be used in fields where GPS information cannot be obtained, such as in mountainous areas. In some cases, the target field could not be identified due to errors in GPS information. However, the farm management system 100 according to the present embodiment can reliably acquire the work to be performed in the field without mistaking the field to be worked by reading the identification information from the sign 40 erected in the field. In addition, the sign 40 does not require a power source and is easy to maintain. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 10 stores the farming program, the master data, the performance data, and the like, so that the terminal device 10 can manage farm work even when the telecommunication line 50 cannot be used. .

<<Second embodiment>>
Next, a farm management system according to the second embodiment will be described. Here, FIG. 16 is a configuration diagram of a farming system according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, the farming system 100a according to the second embodiment includes, in addition to the configuration of the farming system 100 according to the first embodiment, a water level sensor 60 installed in the field and a It has an automatic water supply device 70 that controls water supply and an automatic drainage device 80 that is installed in the field and controls drainage from the field. The water level sensor 60 , the automatic water supply device 70 , and the automatic drainage device 80 can exchange information with the external server 20 via the electric communication line 50 . As a result, in the second embodiment, the communication device 23 of the external server 20 receives the water level information of the field from the water level sensor 60, and also transmits a water supply or drainage instruction to the automatic water supply device 70 and the automatic drainage device 80. can be done.

Specifically, in the second embodiment, the external server 20 acquires the water level information of each field from the water level sensor 60 of each field at predetermined time intervals (or at a predetermined time) from the water level sensor. The scheduled plan or implementation schedule information can include the water level information of each field acquired from the water level sensor 60 and can be transmitted to the terminal device 10 and the mobile terminal 30 . Accordingly, the farm work manager and the farm work worker can confirm the water level of each field through the displays 14 and 34 of the terminal device 10 or the mobile terminal 30 . In the terminal device 10 and the mobile terminal 30, the water level information can be displayed numerically for each field. It is also possible to display the water level information by superimposing it on the aerial photograph of each field, by color-coding into three categories of low water level and high water level.

In addition, based on the water level information of each field, the farm work manager and the farm work worker can access the external server 20 from a predetermined screen via the input units 13 and 33 of the terminal device 10 or the mobile terminal 30. 70 water supply instructions and automatic drain 80 drain instructions can be sent. When the external server 20 receives a water supply instruction for the automatic water supply device 70 or a water discharge instruction for the automatic water drainage device 80 from the terminal device 10 or the portable terminal 30 , the external server 20 transmits the instruction to the automatic water supply device 70 or the automatic water drainage device 80 .

The automatic water supply device 70 has a mechanism for controlling water supply from the agricultural waterway to the field. Such a water supply control mechanism is not particularly limited, and for example, a known technique such as a mechanism for controlling opening and closing of a water supply port can be used. Similarly, the automatic drainage device 80 has a mechanism for controlling drainage from fields to agricultural waterways. Such a drainage control mechanism is also not particularly limited, and for example, a known technique such as a mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of a drainage port can be used. When the automatic water supply device 70 and the automatic water drainage device 80 receive a water supply instruction from the external server 20, the automatic water supply device 70 starts water supply, and the automatic water drainage device 80 stops water drainage when water is being drained. Similarly, when the automatic water supply device 70 and the automatic drainage device 80 receive a drainage instruction from the external server 20, the automatic water supply device 70 stops supplying water if it is supplying water, and the automatic drainage device 80 stops the drainage. Start.

As described above, in the farm management system 100a according to the second embodiment, it is possible to check the water level information of each field together with the work schedule plan and the implementation schedule information. It becomes possible to revise the work schedule plan and the implementation schedule as appropriate. In addition, in the second embodiment, the control of the automatic water supply device 70 and the automatic drainage device 80 can be instructed from the terminal device 10 or the mobile terminal 30, so that the operator can control the field from a remote location without going to a distant field. Water supply and drainage can be controlled, and the labor required for farm work by farmers can also be reduced.

<<Third Embodiment>>
Next, a farm management system according to the third embodiment will be described.
