Implementation of System for a Ubiquitous Farming-diary

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a ubiquitous Farming Diary System which can support the easy and reliable recording of a farming diary for the certificate on environment-friendly agricultural products by using the USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technologies. By using growth-related data, the system can also control farming facilities remotely and automatically. To achieve this goal, the UFDS(Ubiquitous Farming Diary System) is consisted with 3 layers. The first 'physical layer' can collect data from sensors, cameras and facilities then controls the growth environment based on the analyzed information. The second 'Middle layer' can process and store the data from 'physical layer' to sensor manager, image manager, control manager and diary manager separately. The third 'application layer' can provide growth-related services to users through various applications. The UFDS can recording grow history information automatically and Easily. Besides, the system can make an accurate and reliable farming diary with multimedia information such as motion and sound. Furthermore, environmental information such as temperature, humidity, luminance and soil conditions (soil temperature, soil humidity, soil EC) can be monitored in real-time and the facilities managed in remote sites.

A Study on the Design of Context-Awareness Middleware for Enclosed Growth Management System

“…It contributes to enhancing productivity, stability, and quality of life. Especially, the adoption of WSN technology into agriculture will lead to the improved productivity and high value-added business because agriculture lacks the convergence of information technology(IT) comparing to other industries and it is a labor intensive sector [5,6].…”

A Study on the Fully Controlled Crop Cultivation System for the Development of Medicinal Crop Cultivation Model

“…Therefore, it is required to develop the cultivation technology to stably produce high quality medicinal crops containing medically effective ingredients. For this purpose, it is necessary to find optimum cultivation indicators through experiments in various environmental conditions, which makes a demand for the controlled crop cultivation system [2,3] under enclosed environment not affected by external factors.…”
