Abstract

This paper presents an agricultural management service system that aims to meet the needs of Internet of Things (IoT) information upgrades in China’s family farms. The proposed agricultural management service system consists of Near Field Communication (NFC) tags, in-field service nodes, and smartphones. NFC tags are used as the core identifier of various agricultural management elements. The in-field service node, which is based on a programmable system-on-chip with intellectual property cores (IP core), supports distributed agriculture device management and smartphone operations. Smartphones in the proposed system include the management assistant application (app) and management service app, which are designed for agricultural management support functions and agricultural management application requirements. Through this system, the needs of diverse agricultural management practices can be effectively satisfied by a unified system structure. The practical results show that the design can be used to construct diversified agricultural IoT information application service systems simply and effectively, and it is especially suitable for Chinese family farm operators who are implementing IoT information upgrades for smart agriculture.

Highlights

  • In today’s world, especially in developing countries, there is an increasing shortage of agricultural resources [1,2,3]

  • A design combining the Universal Digital Block (UDB) array with the native intellectual property cores (IP core) of the programmable system-on-chip (PSoC) chip can meet the requirements of family farms for agricultural management functions in different scenarios

  • The proposed design mainly realizes the construction of an agricultural Internet of Things (IoT) information management service system for family farms that utilize Near Field Communication (NFC)

Summary

Introduction

In today’s world, especially in developing countries, there is an increasing shortage of agricultural resources [1,2,3]. Smartphones and the terminal nodes of distributed agricultural information service requirements existing in different family farms, and to provide a service with greater information are used to implement the family farm’s daily information management operations, differentiation on the unified support structure. This is a significant advantage of the system. Android operations for common agricultural information management, and it supports the MS App. The MA App is a bridge between the in-field service node hardware functional structure and differentiated management application requirements of the family farm.
