METHOD FOR TREATING A USABLE AGRICULTURAL AREA, RECORDING AND SPRAYING DEVICE FOR AN AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18561342 titled 'METHOD FOR TREATING A USABLE AGRICULTURAL AREA, RECORDING AND SPRAYING DEVICE FOR AN AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for treating agricultural areas using a liquid medium or spraying agent. Image-capturing sensor units record the area to be treated, and information is processed by control units to activate metering valves for the spraying agent.
- The method involves treating agricultural areas with a liquid medium or spraying agent.
- Image-capturing sensor units are used to record the area to be treated.
- Control units process the information from the sensors to activate metering valves for the spraying agent.
- Information is transmitted between local and main control units via a CAN bus system.
- The technology aims to efficiently treat agricultural areas with precision and control.
Potential Applications: - Precision agriculture - Crop protection - Pest control - Weed management - Fertilizer application
Problems Solved: - Inefficient use of spraying agents - Lack of precision in treating agricultural areas - Wastage of resources - Ineffective pest and weed control
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in treating agricultural areas - Precision application of spraying agents - Reduced wastage of resources - Enhanced pest and weed control
Commercial Applications: Precision agriculture technology for large-scale farming operations, agricultural equipment manufacturing companies, pesticide and fertilizer companies.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on precision agriculture, automated spraying systems, and sensor-based agricultural equipment.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on advancements in sensor technology, control systems, and precision agriculture practices may be relevant to this technology.
Questions about Agricultural Area Treatment: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of treating agricultural areas? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this method for agricultural treatment?
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for treating a usable agricultural area by means of a preferably liquid medium or spraying agent. In the method: when the usable area is driven over, the usable area to be treated is recorded transversely to a travel direction of a recording and spraying device by means of a plurality of image-capturing sensor units which each have a recording range; the image information from a sensor unit is processed by means of a local control unit assigned to the sensor unit; when it is necessary to actuate at least one metering valve for the medium or spraying agent, which metering valve is assigned to the particular recording range, information is transmitted between the local control unit and a main control unit on at least one CAN bus system.
