Abstract

Recently, the need to introduce smart farms is increasing in order to solve the problems of intensifying competition such as a decrease in rural population due to aging, a decrease in production, and the inflow of foreign agricultural products, and accordingly, the need for education is increasing. This paper is a study on the implementation of an Android-based IoT smart farm for education so that it can be used in a real environment by reducing the farm's smart farm system. To confirm that Android-based education can be applied in a real environment using the IoT smart farm for education, experiments were performed in automatic mode and manual mode using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and server/client communication methods. In the automatic mode, the current status can be checked in real time by receiving all data, and in the manual mode, commands are transmitted in real time using the received sensor data and remote control is performed. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to understand the characteristics of each communication method, and it was confirmed that remote monitoring and remote control of the smart farm using the Android App was possible.

최근 고령화로 인한 농촌인구의 감소, 생산량 감소, 해외 농산물 유입 등 경쟁 심화문제를 해결하기 위해 스마트팜 도입의 필요성이 점점 커지고 있으며 이에 따라 교육에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 농장의 스마트팜 시스템을 축소하여 실제 환경에서도 사용이 가능하도록 안드로이드 기반 교육용 IoT 스마트팜 구현에 관한 연구이다. 교육용 IoT 스마트팜을 이용하여 안드로이드 기반 교육이 실제 환경에서 적용이 가능함을 확인하기 위해 블루투스, 와이파이, 서버/클라이언트 통신 방식을 사용하여 자동모드와 수동모드로 실험을 수행하였다. 자동모드는 모든 데이터를 수신하여 실시간으로 현재 상태를 확인할 수 있었으며, 수동모드는 수신된 센서데이터를 이용하여 실시간으로 명령을 전송하여 원격제어하였다. 실험 결과, 각 통신 방식의 특성을 파악할 수 있었고 안드로이드 앱을 이용한 스마트팜 원격 모니터링 및 원격 제어가 가능함을 확인하였으며, 안드로이드 기반 스마트팜 교육이 실제 환경에서 적용이 가능하리라 사료된다.
