SYSTEM FOR AN IOT DEVICE FOR TRACKING HEALTH AND LOCATION OF LIVESTOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240324560 titled 'SYSTEM FOR AN IOT DEVICE FOR TRACKING HEALTH AND LOCATION OF LIVESTOCK

The invention discloses a livestock monitoring system utilizing firmware and computer-readable instructions for IoT devices. It tracks the health and location of livestock by monitoring their temperature and adjusting the frequency of data transmission accordingly. When the temperature is within normal ranges, data is sent once per hour; for slightly elevated temperatures, data transmission increases to every 30 minutes, and for high temperatures, it increases to every 15 minutes, reverting back to hourly transmissions when temperatures normalize. The system includes features such as activation via magnet, SMS/email notifications, reprogramming over-the-air, and alerts for temperature fluctuations. Additionally, it incorporates facial recognition for livestock identification and disease traceability to locate animals within a specified distance of a diseased individual.

• Utilizes firmware and computer-readable instructions for IoT devices
• Tracks livestock health and location by monitoring temperature
• Adjusts data transmission frequency based on temperature levels
• Features activation via magnet, SMS/email notifications, and over-the-air reprogramming
• Incorporates facial recognition for livestock identification and disease traceability

Potential Applications: - Livestock management and health monitoring - Disease traceability and containment in livestock populations - Remote monitoring of livestock in various environments

Problems Solved: - Efficient tracking of livestock health and location - Timely alerts for temperature fluctuations - Improved disease traceability and containment measures

Benefits: - Enhanced livestock welfare and health management - Early detection of health issues in livestock - Improved disease control and prevention measures

Commercial Applications: Livestock farming industry for efficient management and monitoring of livestock health and location. Market implications include improved productivity and reduced losses due to timely health monitoring and disease control measures.

Questions about Livestock Monitoring System: 1. How does the system adjust data transmission frequency based on temperature levels? 2. What are the key features of the livestock monitoring system for disease traceability and containment?
