Abstract
In a system that measures a parameter related to moisture of soil, power consumption is reduced. A sensor includes a measurement section and a control unit. In the sensor including the measurement section and the control unit, the measurement section measures the parameter related to the moisture of the soil. Furthermore, in the sensor including the measurement section and the control unit, the control unit controls a measurement frequency of the parameter within a first measurement period immediately before an irrigation timing to the soil to a value higher than a predetermined value, and controls the measurement frequency before the first measurement period to a value lower than the predetermined value.
Claims16
A sensor comprising:
- a measurement section that measures a parameter related to moisture of soil;
- and
- a control unit that controls a measurement frequency of the parameter within a first measurement period immediately before an irrigation timing to the soil to a value higher than a predetermined value, and controls the measurement frequency before the first measurement period to a value lower than the predetermined value.
A control device comprising:
- a communication unit that transmits a control signal to a sensor that measures a parameter related to moisture of soil;
- and
- a control unit that, by the control signal, controls a measurement frequency of the parameter within a first measurement period immediately before an irrigation timing to the soil to a value higher than a predetermined value, and controls the measurement frequency before the first measurement period to a value lower than the predetermined value.
A measurement system comprising:
- a sensor that measures a parameter related to moisture of soil;
- and
- a control device that includes a communication unit that transmits a control signal to the sensor, and a control unit that, by the control signal, controls a measurement frequency of the parameter within a first measurement period immediately before an irrigation timing to the soil to a value higher than a predetermined value, and controls the measurement frequency before the first measurement period to a value lower than the predetermined value.
A control method of a sensor, the control method comprising:
- a measurement procedure of measuring a parameter related to moisture of soil;
- and
- a control procedure of controlling a measurement frequency of the parameter within a first measurement period immediately before an irrigation timing to the soil to a value higher than a predetermined value, and controlling the measurement frequency before the first measurement period to a value lower than the predetermined value.
A control method of a control device, the control method comprising:
- a communication procedure of transmitting a control signal to a sensor that measures a parameter related to moisture of soil;
- and
- a control procedure of, by the control signal, controlling a measurement frequency of the parameter within a first measurement period immediately before an irrigation timing to the soil to a value higher than a predetermined value, and controlling the measurement frequency before the first measurement period to a value lower than the predetermined value.
A sensor comprising:
- a measurement section that measures a parameter related to moisture of soil;
- and
- a control unit that controls measurement accuracy of the parameter on a basis of predetermined setting information.
A control device comprising:
- a communication unit that transmits a control signal to a sensor that measures a parameter related to moisture of soil;
- and
- a control unit that controls measurement accuracy of the parameter by the control signal on a basis of predetermined setting information.
