Abstract:
A platform apparatus for an agricultural environment control system includes an application support layer unit configured to generate and execute an environment task for supporting an application corresponding to an environment to which the agricultural environment control system is applied, a service layer unit configured to provide service libraries used in the application, a function layer unit configured to perform functions necessary to execute the application, a dynamic adaptation layer unit configured to define the environment task in an application layer irrespective of the number of sensors and actuators installed within the environment to which the agricultural environment control system is applied, and a physical abstraction layer unit configured to generate a mapping table using abstraction results of the sensors and the actuators and enable the agricultural environment control system to access the sensors and the actuators through the mapping table.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for managing a reflecting plate for a fruit tree are disclosed. The apparatus for managing a reflecting plate for a fruit tree includes: a solar sensor configured to sense the amount of sunlight; a fruit-tree database configured to store therein types and locations of fruit trees grown in a growing area; a wireless communication unit configured to perform communications with a robot for moving a reflecting plate for a fruit tree and with the reflecting plate via a wireless communication network; and a central processing unit configured to control the robot so that it installs the reflecting plate in the growing area and to control a reflection angle at which the sunlight is reflected in the reflecting plate, based on at least one of the amount of sunlight, the types and locations.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for controlling a power generation type solar shutter, including: storing a control condition and an operation corresponding to the control condition; detecting that an event occurs; and if the event satisfies the control condition, controlling the solar shutter that performs a charging function for a vehicle based on the operation corresponding to the control condition, wherein the control condition includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: humidity, rain, snow, light, a driving state, the remaining battery charge, seasons, latitude, and a usage level of a heater and/or an air conditioner.
