| 抄録 | In order to improve the sugarcane yield and encourage stable management, agricultural production coporations are required to manage thier work systematically and efficiently. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately comprehend the work that goes in the agricultural production corprations for the rational planning of farming operations. This study is aimed at developing a system for recording farming data with a cellular phone equipped with a GPS(Gloval Positioning System) function and an Internet connection. The built-in GPS function is used to produce a field map of the measured position to indicate the location of the operator.The data enterd from the cellular phone are transferred to and stored on the server of the system via the Internet. The results of experiments condudted by the sugarcane-producing agricultural corporations revealed that the precision of the GPS function of the cellular phone was sufficient indentify the current working field. Using a cellular phone, a set of recorded farming data can be input in 1-2 minutes. The system is developed using low-cost hardware and software, and it has a low operating cost. This system can collect the necessary farming data such as the date,weather,working time, composition of work, and machines used in the field. Furthermore, by adopting database technology in this system, large quantities of data of the farmland that are scattered over a wide zone could be handled efficiently. |
