==WIRELESS SOIL TESTER WITH REAL-TIME OUTPUT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011966 titled 'WIRELESS SOIL TESTER WITH REAL-TIME OUTPUT

==Simplified Explanation==

The disclosed invention is a combination of a handheld portable device system and a cloud-based analytics platform for precision farming. The handheld device system includes a micro-processor, memory, keypad input, display, signal conditioner, data encoder and decoder, local bus for in-system communication, wireless communications capability, and power management module. It also has probes for manual insertion into the soil for testing. The cloud-based platform consists of a database, algorithm, and application programming interface (API) for processing device data and providing recommendations in real-time.

* The invention is a handheld portable device system and cloud-based analytics platform for precision farming.
* The handheld device system includes a micro-processor, memory, keypad input, display, signal conditioner, data encoder and decoder, local bus, wireless communications capability, and power management module.
* The handheld device has probes for manual insertion into the soil for testing.
* The cloud-based platform includes a database, algorithm, and API for processing device data and providing real-time recommendations.
* The device data is analyzed to determine soil moisture content, pH, salinity, nutritional content, and farm topology.
* The device employs IoT technologies to analyze the data and make real-time prescriptions.
* The recommendations derived from the data analysis are routed to an output gateway in readable text format.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Precision farming: The invention can be used by farmers to monitor and analyze soil conditions in real-time, allowing for precise and efficient farming practices.
* Crop management: By providing accurate data on soil moisture content, pH, salinity, and nutritional content, the invention can help farmers optimize crop growth and yield.
* Irrigation management: The real-time data analysis can assist in determining the optimal irrigation schedule and amount, reducing water waste and improving water efficiency.
* Soil health monitoring: The device can help farmers assess the health of their soil by analyzing its composition and providing recommendations for soil amendments or treatments.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Inefficient farming practices: The invention addresses the problem of inefficient farming practices by providing real-time data on soil conditions, allowing farmers to make informed decisions and optimize their farming methods.
* Inaccurate soil testing: The handheld device system provides accurate and reliable soil testing, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming laboratory testing.
* Lack of real-time recommendations: The cloud-based platform analyzes the data and provides real-time recommendations, enabling farmers to take immediate action and make timely adjustments to their farming practices.

Benefits of this technology:

* Increased crop yield: By providing precise and real-time recommendations, the invention can help farmers optimize their farming practices and improve crop yield.
* Water efficiency: The device's analysis of soil moisture content can assist in efficient irrigation management, reducing water waste and improving water efficiency.
* Cost savings: The accurate and real-time data provided by the invention can help farmers optimize the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs, resulting in cost savings.
* Sustainable farming: By enabling farmers to monitor and manage soil health, the invention promotes sustainable farming practices and reduces environmental impact.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the disclosure relates to agricultural sensors for precision farming. it tests for soil moisture content, potential of hydrogen (ph), salinity, nutritional content, farm topology and employs the internet of things (iot) technologies to analyze the data and make a prescription in real time. the disclosure is a combination of a handheld portable device system and a cloud-based analytics platform. the hand-held device system contains a micro-processor, memory, keypad input interfaced with the output via a display, signal conditioner, data encoder and decoder, local bus allowing for in system communication, communications module with wireless communications capability and power management module. the hand-held device has attached probes for manual insertion into the soil for testing. the cloud-based platform consists of a database, algorithm and application programming interface (api) which receives device data for processing. the derived recommendations are routed to an output gateway and in readable text format.
