INFORMATION MANAGING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
Technical Background
It is known to use flying bodies such as drones for cultivating crops. For example, a flying body control system for controlling a flying body that sprays chemicals onto a field is known. The system comprises a quality information acquisition unit that acquires, in association, quality information concerning the quality measured by a quality measuring machine of crops harvested in a predetermined area of the field and the area; and a planning calculation unit that calculates a spraying plan for the chemicals and a flight plan for the flying body based on the quality information and the area. The flying body sprays chemicals onto the field based on the spraying plan and the flight plan.
The system further comprises a storage unit that stores a spraying management table in which the spraying plan sprayed onto the harvested crops and the quality information of the harvested crops are recorded in association with the area each time the crops are harvested. The planning calculation unit refers to the spraying management table to calculate the flight plan by referring, for each area, to the transition of the quality information of crops harvested in the past and the spraying plan.
Current Problems
Controlling a device that performs direct seeding in a short time regardless of the type of grain, even in locations where bringing in agricultural machinery is difficult.
Means for Solving Problems
To achieve the above object, a disclosed information management apparatus is provided. This information management apparatus comprises:
a first storage unit that stores an identification number of an area in which grains are to be planted, coordinates of the corners of the area, an interval between a plurality of parallel virtual furrow lines determined based on the coordinates, and a radius of a circle centered on a drop base point of grain seeds;
a second storage unit that stores, for each furrow line identified by a furrow line number, seed drop positions determined based on the interval of the furrow lines and the radius of the circle, and information indicating that a drone-type flying body has dropped the seeds based on the set drop positions;
and an output unit that outputs information on positions where dropping was completed and positions where dropping could not be performed for each furrow line.
Accordingly, it is possible to control a device that performs direct seeding in a short time regardless of the type of grain, even in locations where the introduction of agricultural machinery is difficult.
Scope of Claims
[Claim 1]
A first storage unit configured to store an identification number of an area to be planted with grains, coordinates of a corner of the area, an interval between a plurality of virtual striations parallel to each other at a predetermined interval determined based on the coordinates, and a radius of a circle having a drop base point of a seed of a grain as a center point;
A second storage unit configured to store, for each streak number for identifying the streak, a seed dropping position set based on an interval between the streaks and a radius of a circle, and information indicating that a drone type flying object has dropped seeds based on the set dropping position;
An output unit configured to output information on a position at which dropping is completed and a position at which dropping cannot be performed for each of the striations;
The information management apparatus according to claim 1
[Claim 2]
A third storage unit configured to store a descent distance when the flying object drops the seed, the number of seeds to be dropped, and an allowable error number for the number of seeds to be dropped in association with each other The information management device according to claim 1, wherein the flying object drops the rice seeds when the number of the rice seeds at the time of dropping matches the number stored in the third storage unit, or when the number does not match the number stored in the third storage unit but the number that does not match the number stored in the third storage unit is within a range of an allowable error number stored in the third storage unit.
[Claim 3]
Causing the flying object to execute reaping of the grain ears at the position where the dropping stored in the second storage unit is completed in the area stored in the first storage unit, and sending information indicating that the reaping is completed to the throwing of the seed rice
Storing for each lower position;
The information management device according to claim 1, wherein the output unit outputs information on a position at which reaping has been completed and a position at which reaping has not been completed for each dropping position of the rice seed.
[Claim 4]
A fourth storage unit configured to store a discharge location of the reaped cereal ears
The information management device according to claim 3, wherein the flying object moves to the discharge place and discharges the grain ears when the grain ears that have been cut and stored reach a certain amount, and when the discharge is completed, the flying object refers to the second storage unit and resumes cutting at a position where cutting is not completed.
[Claim 5]
Causing a computer to execute:
Storing an identification number of an area in which grains are to be planted, coordinates of a corner of the area, an interval between a plurality of virtual striations parallel to each other at a predetermined interval determined based on the coordinates, and a radius of a circle having a drop base point of a seed of a grain as a center point;
Storing a seed dropping position set based on an interval between the striations and a radius of a circle and information indicating that a drone type flying object has dropped the seed based on the set dropping position for each striation number identifying the striation;
Outputting information on a position at which dropping is completed and a position at which dropping is not performed for each of the striations.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:
