KR-20260063779-A - A system that supports crop shipment timing to increase farm income

Abstract

The present invention relates to a crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income, and more specifically, to a crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income that can increase farm income by providing crop shipment timing information using crop growth status information and crop distribution price information by season. The crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income according to the present invention can increase farm income by using artificial intelligence to provide information on the development or growth status of crops, information on distribution prices of crops by season, and information on the appropriate shipment timing of crops.

Description

A system that supports crop shipment timing to increase farm income The present invention relates to a crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income, and more specifically, to a crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income that can increase farm income by providing crop shipment timing information using crop growth status information and crop distribution price information by season. Previously, farmers had to visit the site in person to inspect and manually adjust various facilities in greenhouses used for crop cultivation; however, with the recent development of automation systems, it has become possible to use personal smartphones to check on-site video and environmental information such as temperature and humidity from a remote location, and to perform tasks such as opening and closing, irrigation, and boiler operation through remote control. For example, currently, greenhouse farms use automatic greenhouse control systems; however, the reality is that not only do operators have to physically access the greenhouse to observe and operate the devices, but crops also suffer significant damage, such as from high or low temperatures, due to user negligence or defects in the control system. The automatic opening and closing control device comprises a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor for measuring the indoor temperature and humidity of a greenhouse, a camera for capturing and outputting images of the interior of the vinyl greenhouse, an infrared sensor for detecting intrusion by transmitting infrared signals into the vinyl greenhouse, and an opening and closing device that displays the indoor temperature and humidity checked through the temperature sensor and humidity sensor, wherein the current position of the camera or infrared sensor is changed as the user operates a control switch, thereby allowing the user to open or close a part of the vinyl greenhouse using a specific switch among a plurality of control switches, and wherein the user can change the position of the camera and infrared sensor by operating a specific switch among the control switches. As such, while the currently used automatic greenhouse control system has the great advantage of not requiring a site visit, farmers still face the inconvenience of having to perform simple, repetitive tasks such as accurately assessing the overall conditions of the greenhouse and performing necessary remote controls on time. Meanwhile, there is also a demand for a method to provide forecast information on production volume so that crops can be grown by appropriately adjusting the timing of shipment based on operational information such as the crop's distribution price information as well as the crop's growth environment.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the functions of a crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income according to the present invention. Hereinafter, a crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income according to the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the crop shipment timing support system for increasing farm income according to the present invention may be configured to include an environmental information collection unit (10), an environmental control unit (20), a shooting unit (30), a decision support unit (40), an operation information provision unit (50), and an integrated control unit (60).
