SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041008 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for managing livestock using a device implanted in the animal. The device includes a network interface, a housing with a cavity, a weighted element, a power supply, a data processing unit, a temperature sensor, and an accelerometer. The temperature sensor collects temperature data of the animal, while the accelerometer collects movement data. The cavity contains a data processing system with a processor and memory, which is connected to the power source and communicates with the temperature sensor and accelerometer. The data processing system transmits temperature and movement data via the network interface. The cavity also includes an activation receiver to activate the data processing system upon receiving an activation signal. A livestock management server receives and analyzes the data, along with data from other sources, and provides output to a user interface.
- The device is implanted in livestock animals to collect temperature and movement data.
- The device includes a network interface, a housing with a cavity, a weighted element, a power supply, a data processing unit, a temperature sensor, and an accelerometer.
- The temperature sensor collects temperature data of the animal, while the accelerometer collects movement data.
- The data processing system in the cavity includes a processor and memory and is connected to the power source.
- The data processing system communicates with the temperature sensor and accelerometer and transmits data via the network interface.
- An activation receiver in the cavity activates the data processing system upon receiving an activation signal.
- A livestock management server receives and analyzes the data, along with data from other sources, and provides output to a user interface.
