Abstract—In order to solve our country existing agricultural<br />
information system defects: such as function sole, interactive<br />
poor, difficult for users to operation, as well as the<br />
information resources is sole and redundant. The paper has<br />
developed an so-called electron-agriculture system using<br />
information visualization technology, electronic geography<br />
information technology, Visual C#.NET, Silverlight, and<br />
SQL Server. The design simplifies the user operation,<br />
friendly human-machine interface and involved in<br />
interaction.<br />
A. System function<br />
The system mainly has four modules. As shown in<br />
Fig.1.<br />
Index Terms—information visualization, windows live,<br />
silverlight, electronic geography information technology<br />
I. INTRODUCTION<br />
Taking into account the main user is farmers, and the<br />
farmers do not well in using complicated PC and surfing<br />
the Internet, while the traditional systems had not<br />
considered this problem, leading to the farmer have not<br />
enough enthusiasm to participate in countryside<br />
informatization. So the design of the Electron-agriculture<br />
system based on Windows Live platform and information<br />
visualization mainly consideration the man-machine<br />
interface functions, and the business function of<br />
traditional system operation is replaced by virtual earth<br />
and google earth to come true. By using the technology of<br />
information visualizing users use simple 、intuitive and<br />
other easy operate ways, such as using mouse to click, to<br />
use this system. User doesn’t need to have the<br />
professional knowledge of geographic information, can<br />
be surfing Internet to view agriculture informations, such<br />
as space information, graphics and pictures, and can use<br />
the information to help users to analyze.<br />
The system realizes a four tier system structure based<br />
on B/S (browser/server). The whole system should have<br />
good expansibility and commonability, so it is convenient<br />
to carry on the secondary development and expand on<br />
windows live id platform that it includes virtual earth,<br />
unified user identity authentication (Live ID), online<br />
communication by Windows Live Messenger, Windows<br />
Live Search and Silverlight streaming. Combining<br />
Silverlight technology to compose the rich client, by<br />
using this technology, we will have a rich content and<br />
wonderful visual effect of flowery interactive experiences.<br />

Figure 1. The main function modules<br />
Agricultural information module can be divided into<br />
three smaller modules, agricultural information<br />
visualization module, agricultural supply management<br />
module and search module. The main function of<br />
agricultural information visualization module is view and<br />
contrast agricultural information by using silverlight that<br />
it shows an intuitive comparison through the wonderful<br />
visual effect chart. The main function of agricultural<br />
supply and demand management module is to look over<br />
and release supply and demand information. Search<br />
module mainly have supply and demand search, price<br />
search, technology search, market search and<br />
comprehensive search. Allowing users to search the<br />
entire system resources so as to quick location resources.<br />
Expert-assisted module mainly introduces various<br />
experts, on-line question and answer with experts,<br />
intelligent analysis. Interactive information through QQ<br />
and MSN. You can ask for help from expert online or<br />
send leaving message to experts. By using the technology<br />
of visual/Google earth and Silverlight to show the<br />
analysis of distribution line on the map and to show the<br />
price forecast analysis through the chart.<br />
The user management module manages the<br />
permission of system user and group management that it<br />
helpful for multi-user system management tasks.<br />
Public information module provides users with some<br />
common traditional electron-agriculture service functions,
