A hand held device for land managment

Abstract

A hand held device for land management is described for a user of the device to provide agricultural information relating to a field, wherein the agricultural information includes information on at least one crop. A transmitter of the device transmits information including the agricultural information relating to the field. A receiver of the device receives agricultural data that includes best practices for the growing of the at least one crop. A processing unit of the device determines agricultural management information on the basis of the agricultural data. An output unit of the device outputs the agricultural management information to the user of the device.

1 . A hand held device for land management, comprising a processor configured to:
 receive from a user of the device agricultural information relating to a field, wherein the agricultural information comprises a first information on at least one crop;   transmit a second information comprising the agricultural information relating to the field;   receive agricultural data that comprises best practices for the growing of the at least one crop;   determine agricultural management information on the basis of the agricultural data; and   output the agricultural management information to the user of the device.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a GPS unit, and wherein the processor is configured to determine at least one geographical location of the field, the determination comprising utilization of the GPS unit, and wherein the second information transmitted by the processor comprises the at least one geographical location of the field. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein determination of the at least one geographical location of the field comprises at least one movement of the GPS unit. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one movement comprises the device being moved around at least one boundary of the field. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one movement comprises the device being moved around all of the boundaries of the field. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a camera, wherein the camera is configured to enable the user to acquire at least one image relating to the at least one crop, and wherein the second information transmitted by the processor comprises the at least one image relating to the at least one crop. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one image relating to the at least one crop comprises an image of a weed, and/or pest and/or disease of the at least one crop. 
     
     
         8 . The device  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive from the user of the device an information request relating to the at least one crop, and wherein determination of the agricultural management information comprises utilization of the information request relating to the at least one crop. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the best practices for growing the at least one crop comprises one or more of: how to prepare a ground for sowing of the at least one crop; when to prepare the ground for sowing of the at least one crop; when to sow the at least one crop; how to sow the at least one crop; when to water the at least one crop; when to look for pests, diseases, weeds and what type of pest, disease and weed may or is to be found; what herbicide to use, when and how, what pesticide to use, when and how; if it is not necessary to use a herbicide; if it is not necessary to use a pesticide; and when and how to harvest the at least one crop. 
     
     
         10 . A method for land management using a hand held device, comprising:
 receiving by a processor of the device agricultural information relating to a field from a user of the device, wherein the agricultural information comprises a first information on at least one crop;   transmitting by the processor a second information comprising the agricultural information relating to the field;   receiving by the processor agricultural data that comprises best practices for the growing of the at least one crop;   determining by the processor agricultural management information on the basis of the agricultural data; and   outputting the agricultural management information to the user of the device.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the device comprises a GPS unit, and wherein receiving agricultural information comprises determining at least one geographical location of the field, the determination comprising utilization of the GPS unit, and wherein the second information transmitted by the processor comprises the at least one geographical location of the field. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the device comprises a camera, wherein receiving agricultural information comprises the user acquiring at least one image relating to the at least one crop using the camera, and wherein in the second information transmitted by the processor comprises the at least one image relating to the at least one crop. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the method comprises inputting by the user an information request relating to the at least one crop, and wherein determining agricultural management information comprises utilization of the information request relating to the at least one crop. 
     
     
         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 receive agricultural information relating to a field from a user, wherein the agricultural information comprises a first information on at least one crop;   transmit a second information comprising the agricultural information relating to the field;   receive agricultural data that comprises best practices for the growing of the at least one crop;   determine agricultural management information on the basis of the agricultural data; and   output the agricultural management information to the user.
