In this paper, an rice intake management system based on ubiquitous computing technology is introduced for rice processing complex (RPC). This system plays an important role in the quality management for rough rices in that the system provides timely and useful information of rice cultivation. The intake management system is developed by utilizing widespread ubiquitous technologies, such as smartphones, GIS and LBS, for the purpose of controling the harvest time and monitoring the quality of paddy. The information for rice production, cultivation and quality management is transmitted and stored in a centralized database via mobile networks, On the basis of these information, the harvest schedule is determined and notified to farmers though smart devices. Hence, the proposed system can help to establish trust among farmers, operators and consumers by providing systematic information based on ubiquitous computing technology.

미곡종합처리장은 개소 당 평균 30억이 투자되는 방대한 시설로 수확된 산물상태의 벼를 수집ㆍ건조ㆍ저장ㆍ가공 및 포장공정이 일괄적으로 처리되는 농업의 첨단기술이 결집된 시설이라 할 수 있다. 미곡처리장은 약 80개의 단위기계와 100여종의 부대시설로 구성되어 있다. 미곡종합처리장은 거의 모든 과정이 중앙제어기에 의해 제어 가능하다. 그러나 미곡종합 처리장의 상온통풍건조시설은 기상조건, 투입벼의 함수율 및 반입량에 따라서 송풍기와 히터의 운전방법을 달리해야 하며, 또한 투입벼의 함수율에 따라서 벼의 퇴적고를 달리해야 하는 등 시설의 운전에 세심한 주의가 필요하다.

We analysed the current status of development of GM crops and national biosafety framework including legislation-related agricultural GMO in China to provide the policy for the development of global GM crops in Korea. In China, several GM crops including cotton, petunia, tomato, sweet pepper, poplar, and papaya have been approved for commercialization and they have been cultivated at more than 4 million ha. In addition, GM rice and GM maize have also obtained approval for productive testing in 2009. China will be the first country to approve GM rice for commercialization. Prior to commercialization in China, all GM crops must be approved by government authority for biosafety assessment specified by national legislation including restricted field testing, enlarged field testing, productive testing and safety certificate. According to China's legislation, agricultural GMOs have been classified by research and testing, production and processing. All GMOs must go through 3 steps of field testing (restricted, enlarged and productive). Prior to conducting each field testing, it has to be approved by government authority. It is assumed that at least one to two years will be taken for each step of field testing (total 4 to 8 years to obtain the final safety certificate) along with a large amount of budget.
