(Operation of agricultural information management system)
The agricultural machine 30 shown in FIG. 1 transmits the operation information 302 to the agricultural information management apparatus 100 when stopped, for example, when the engine is stopped. The agricultural machine 30 may sequentially transmit the operation information 302 to the agricultural information management device 100 while operating.

When the operation information 302 is received from the agricultural machine 30, the arithmetic device 120 of the agricultural information management device 100 reads and executes the agricultural information management program 320 to start the processing shown in FIG. 5, which is the agricultural information management method. In step S<b>110 , the data storage unit 150 implemented by the computing device 120 identifies the agricultural machine 30 that has transmitted the operation information 302 based on the information regarding the transmission source of the operation information 302 . Information representing the farm working machine 30 that is the transmission source may be included in the operation information 302 .

The data storage unit 150 acquires information representing the work performed by the agricultural machinery 30, such as information representing the amount of harvest, the amount of agricultural chemicals applied, the amount of fertilizer applied, etc., from a measuring instrument not included in the agricultural information management system 1000. good. For example, instruments are provided at harvest work facilities (eg, sugar mills). The measuring instrument measures the yield of the crop brought into the harvest work facility, and transmits to the data storage unit 150 information that associates the measured yield with the agricultural machine 30 that harvested the crop. Information representing the work performed by the agricultural machine 30 may be input to the terminal 200 by the user and transmitted from the terminal 200 to the data storage unit 150 . The data storage unit 150 stores the acquired information in the operation information 302 in association with the agricultural machine 30 .

In step S<b>120 , the evaluation index calculator 160 calculates each information of the evaluation index 301 based on the operation information 302 . The calculated evaluation index 301 is stored in the agricultural data 300 by the data storage unit 150 . For example, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 calculates the trajectory information 303 representing the trajectory along which the agricultural working machine 30 has moved, based on the position information included in the operation information 302 .

Also, based on the operation information 302, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 classifies the state of the agricultural working machine 30 at each time into a plurality of working states. For example, when the engine is turned off, the state of the farm machine 30 is classified as "off-duty." Also, when the engine is started and the location of the farm work machine 30 is not included in the field, the state of the farm work machine 30 is classified as "moving". Further, when the engine is started and the agricultural working machine 30 is moving at a position not included in the field, the status of the agricultural working machine 30 may be classified as "moving". When the engine is running and the farm machine 30 is not moving, the state of the farm machine 30 is classified as "idling." When the engine is started, the agricultural working machine 30 moves to a position included in the field, and the agricultural working machine 30 is not working, for example, when the agricultural working machine 30 is turning, the state of the agricultural working machine 30 is "idle". may be classified as “medium”. Further, when the agricultural working machine 30 is working in a field, for example, when the working mechanism is driven, the status of the agricultural working machine 30 is classified as "working".

The evaluation index calculator 160 calculates the environmental information 305 of the farm field performed by the farm machine 30 based on the position information of the farm machine 30 and the farm field data 310 . For example, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 identifies the soil properties on which the agricultural machine 30 has worked at each time. Specifically, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 identifies the field in which the agricultural working machine 30 has worked based on the position information of the agricultural working machine 30 . Based on the farm field data 310, the soil properties of the identified farm field are acquired, and the evaluation index calculation unit 160 identifies the soil properties on which the agricultural machinery 30 has worked. Similarly, the evaluation index calculator 160 calculates the hardness of the soil in the field, the lodging state of the crops, the degree of drainage, and the like performed by the agricultural machine 30 based on the position information of the agricultural machine 30 and the field data 310 . Also, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 acquires the amount of rainfall in the area including the field from a server provided outside the agricultural information management system 1000 . The evaluation index calculation unit 160 may acquire the amount of precipitation that fell during a predetermined period before the farm working machine 30 started working, based on the acquired amount of precipitation.

The evaluation index calculation unit 160 calculates the area information 307 based on the position information of the agricultural working machine 30 and the period during which the agricultural working machine 30 worked. For example, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 calculates an area surrounding the position information of the agricultural working machine 30 during the work period as the work area. In addition, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 may calculate the work area per unit time by dividing the work area by the period during which the work was performed.

Furthermore, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 calculates material information 308 based on the operation information 302 . For example, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 calculates the total harvest amount by aggregating the harvest amount associated with the position information. Alternatively, the harvested amount per unit area may be calculated by dividing the total harvested amount by the work area. In addition, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 calculates the total amount of agricultural chemicals to be applied by aggregating the amount of agricultural chemicals to be applied associated with the position information. The evaluation index calculator 160 may similarly calculate the total amount of fertilizer applied, the amount of fertilizer applied per unit area, and the amount of pesticide applied per unit area. Also, the evaluation index calculation unit 160 may acquire the consumed fuel from the operation information 302 and calculate the fuel consumption amount. In addition, the agricultural information management device 100 may acquire the consumed fuel from a fueling machine connected to the network 20 or from an input to the terminal 200 by the user.

In step S<b>130 , the output unit 170 outputs display information representing the evaluation index 301 to be displayed on the terminal 200 . For example, the output unit 170 outputs display information according to a display operation input to the input/output device 210 of the terminal 200 to display the evaluation index 301 . Specifically, when a display operation is input to the input/output device 210 , the arithmetic device 220 of the terminal 200 executes the display program 330 . The display unit 250 implemented by the arithmetic device 220 generates a request signal for requesting display information from the output unit 170 of the agricultural information management device 100 based on the display operation. For example, the request signal represents display information to be displayed on the input/output device 210 out of the evaluation index 301 .

The output unit 170 calculates the evaluation index 301 to be displayed on the input/output device 210 among the evaluation indexes 301 in response to the request signal from the display unit 250 of the terminal 200 . For example, when the input/output device 210 displays the evaluation index 301 for an aggregation period, for example, one day, the request signal includes a signal representing the aggregation period. The output unit 170 calculates the evaluation index 301 in the aggregation period represented by the request signal. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the harvested amount included in the material information 308 of the evaluation index 301 is displayed, the output unit 170 acquires the harvested amount in the collection period from the material information 308 of the corresponding agricultural machine 30. do. The output unit 170 totalizes the acquired harvest amounts to calculate the harvest amount harvested by the agricultural machine 30 during the total period.

Also, when the work area included in the area information 307 of the evaluation index 301 is displayed, the output unit 170 acquires the work area in the aggregation period from the area information 307 of the corresponding agricultural working machine 30 . The output unit 170 tallies the acquired work areas to calculate the work area in which the agricultural machinery 30 worked during the tally period.

When the working time included in the operating time information 304 of the evaluation index 301 is displayed, the output unit 170 extracts the working time during the collection period from the operating time information 304 of the corresponding agricultural machine 30, for example, "working ” is calculated.

Based on the calculated evaluation index 301 , the output unit 170 calculates display information representing the evaluation index 301 in accordance with the display format on the input/output device 210 of the terminal 200 . For example, the calculated evaluation index 301 is displayed as a scale whose inside is filled in according to the value of the evaluation index 301 in the evaluation index display area 503 as shown in FIG. In this case, the display information is represented by the ratio of the evaluation index 301 to a predetermined value. Here, the predetermined value may be a predetermined value. Further, when displaying the evaluation index 301 of a plurality of agricultural working machines 30, the predetermined value may be the maximum value of the evaluation index 301 displayed. A ratio of the evaluation index 301 to a predetermined value may represent the number of tick marks to be filled.

Output unit 170 transmits the calculated display information to display unit 250 of terminal 200 .

In step S140 shown in FIG. 5, the display unit 250 of the terminal 200 displays the display information output from the output unit 170 of the agricultural information management device 100. FIG. For example, the display unit 250 displays a list image 500 representing the evaluation indices 301 of the plurality of agricultural machines 30, as shown in FIG. The list image 500 has a device display area 501 corresponding to each agricultural machine 30 . The evaluation indexes 301 of different agricultural machines 30 are displayed in the first device display area 501-1, the second device display area 501-2, and the third device display area 501-3.

The list image 500 has an evaluation index display area 503 that visually displays the evaluation index 301 according to the ratio of the evaluation index 301 to a predetermined value. For example, the evaluation index display area 503 is divided into areas representing a plurality of scales, and the evaluation index 301 is displayed by filling the scales according to the ratio. When the number of scales is 5 and the percentage of the evaluation index 301 is 20% or less, the leftmost scale of the evaluation index 301 is filled out. When the ratio of the evaluation index 301 is 40% or less, the evaluation index 301 is represented by filling in two scales from the left. When the ratio of the evaluation index 301 is 60% or less, the evaluation index 301 is represented by filling in three scales from the left. When the ratio of the evaluation index 301 is 80% or less, the evaluation index 301 is represented by filling the four scales from the left. When the percentage of the evaluation index 301 is greater than 80%, the evaluation index 301 is represented by filling all scales. When the display unit 250 displays the evaluation index 301 based on the maximum value of the displayed evaluation index 301, the display unit 250 displays the relative evaluation index 301 of the agricultural machine 30 that is less affected by external factors such as weather. This allows the user to relatively evaluate the agricultural working machine 30 .

The evaluation index display area 503 determines the display mode for filling the scale, such as color and hatching, according to the value of the evaluation index 301 . For example, the display form may be determined based on a comparison between the evaluation index 301 and a statistic, such as an average value, of the evaluation index 301 in the agricultural working machine 30 being displayed. For example, the display mode when the evaluation index 301 is equal to or greater than the average value may be different from the display mode when the evaluation index 301 is less than the average value. The display form may be determined based on a comparison between the evaluation index 301 and its median value. Note that the display form may be determined based on a comparison between the evaluation index 301 and the statistics of the evaluation index 301 for all the agricultural working machines 30 . Thereby, the user can easily grasp the farm working machine 30 with a relatively small evaluation index 301 .

The list image 500 also has a sort selection area 504 that changes the order of the device display areas 501 according to the value of the evaluation index 301 . When the sort selection area 504 is selected, the display unit 250 changes the order in which the device display areas 501 are displayed according to the value of the evaluation index 301 . For example, the display unit 250 changes the list image 500 so that the position of each device display area 501 is displayed higher as the evaluation index 301 corresponding to the selected sort selection area 504 is larger. Further, the display unit 250 may change the list image 500 so that the smaller the evaluation index 301 corresponding to the selected sort selection area 504, the higher the position of each device display area 501 is displayed. For example, when the sort selection area 504 corresponding to the harvest amount per unit time is selected once, the display unit 250 displays the position of the device display area 501 corresponding to the agricultural machine 30 with the large harvest amount per unit time at the top. Change the list image 500 so that When the sort selection area 504 corresponding to the harvest amount per unit time is selected again, the display section 250 displays the position of the device display area 501 corresponding to the agricultural machine 30 with the small harvest amount per unit time at the top. The list image 500 is changed as follows.

After displaying the list image 500 representing the display information, the display unit 250 determines in step S150 whether a display change operation for changing the display has been input. The display change operation includes an index change operation for changing the displayed evaluation index 301, a device change operation for changing the displayed agricultural machine 30, a map display operation for displaying the evaluation index 301 on a map, and the like. If a display change operation is input, the process returns to step S130 and is repeated.

For example, when the user inputs an index change operation to the input/output device 210, the display unit 250 generates a request signal representing the changed evaluation index 301, and outputs the generated request signal to the output unit 170 of the agricultural information management device 100. Send to For example, the output unit 170 outputs a request signal for adding the evaluation index 301, such as the harvest amount per unit area, the operation rate representing the ratio of the farm work machine 30 working, the fuel consumption amount, the harvest amount per fuel consumption amount, and the like. to generate Upon receiving the request signal, the output unit 170 executes the process of step S130 and repeats the process.

Further, when a device change operation for changing the agricultural working machine 30 is input, the display unit 250 generates a request signal representing the agricultural working machine 30 to be displayed. For example, when the user selects a display selection area 510 in the list image 500 shown in FIG. For example, the display selection area 510 represents the types of agricultural machines 30, such as tractors equipped with working machines such as transplanters, seeders, fertilizers, and chemical sprayers, trucks, harvesters, and the like. Specifically, second display selection area 510-2 may represent displaying tractor evaluation index 301. FIG. In this case, when the user selects second display selection area 510-2, display 250 generates a request signal representing farm machine 30 corresponding to a tractor. The generated request signal is sent to the output unit 170 . Upon receiving the request signal, the output unit 170 executes the process of step S130 and repeats the process. In this case, the display information calculated by the output unit 170 includes the planting distance representing the planting distance of the seedlings, the seedling planting amount representing the amount of seedlings planted, the seeding amount representing the amount of seeds sown in the field, and the fertilizer applied. Fertilizer application amount representing the amount of pesticide applied, pesticide application amount representing the amount of the applied agricultural chemical, and the like may be included. In the list image 500 shown in FIG. 2, the first display selection area 510-1 represents the agricultural working machine 30 displayed in the list image 500. As shown in FIG.

Further, the display unit 250 receives a state display operation that indicates the working state of the agricultural machinery 30 during the aggregate period, for example, one day, for example, the state classified into working, idling, moving, and non-operating. Then, a request signal representing the working state of the agricultural working machine 30 at each time is generated. In step S130, the output unit 170 outputs display information representing the working state of the agricultural working machine 30 during the counting period based on the request signal. In step S140, the display unit 250 displays the working state of the agricultural working machine 30 during the aggregation period based on the display information. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the display unit 250 displays a working time display area 520 representing the working state of the agricultural working machine 30 at each time.
