- the present invention relates to a device and a method for recording movement data of a horse and a kit of parts.
- it relates to a device and a method for recording, displaying and evaluating movement data of a horse.
- determining the movement data of a horse is only ever possible with complex and specially adapted sensor devices.
- the data can only be recorded in the immediate vicinity, often only in areas where there is network reception, and the evaluation of the data is only possible via a remote computer, in particular due to the volume of data.
- the object of the present invention to provide a portable sensor device and a method for determining a movement profile of a horse via such a portable sensor device for a horse to determine the movement, which can be used more flexibly.
- the object of the invention is to provide a portable sensor device for a horse to determine the movement, in which the acquisition of data from several horses is possible at the same time over a greater distance and the evaluation of the data is also possible when there is no network reception.
- a portable sensor device for a horse in particular for determining the movement of the horse, comprising: a fastening device for attachment to a leg of a horse, and at least one sensor unit for recording movement data of the sensor unit, in particular movement data of the sensor unit in space , and a receiving device for receiving the data from the sensor unit, and an evaluation unit for evaluating the data received from the sensor unit by the receiving device, wherein the at least one sensor unit can be removably attached to the fastening device and wherein the evaluation unit has a detection unit for identifying the type of fastening device and the evaluation unit is set up to evaluate the data from the sensor unit depending on the type of fastening device, in particular the position of the sensor unit on the horse's leg.
- the attachment means for attachment to a horse's leg is the support of the sensor unit.
- This is preferably a horse gaiter, jumping gaiter, hard-shell gaiter, neoprene gaiter, fetlock gaiter, transport gaiter, stable gaiter, a hoof bell or a fetlock boot.
- the sensor unit can be attached to the fastening device in a detachable manner. As a result, one sensor unit can be used with different types of gaiters. It can be attached using Velcro or placed and secured in a recess in the gaiter according to the shape of the sensor unit, or attached to the gaiter with a clip.
- the sensor unit advantageously essentially comprises and/or is essentially formed from the following three main components.
- An outer sensor housing an electronic one inside the sensor housing Sensor module and an electrical supply unit connected or connectable to the sensor module.
- the sensor housing is ideally closed on all sides. Furthermore, the sensor housing has at least one opening element which is pivotally or displaceably mounted on the sensor housing and via which the sensor module and/or the supply unit can be accessed and removed or inserted. The opening element is locked in the closed position, in particular mechanically and/or magnetically lockable.
- the sensor housing has a front side and a back side, as well as one or more edge sides.
- the sensor housing is typically made, at least in part, from a very light, impact-resistant material, such as a plastic, light-weight metal (aluminum), or a mixture thereof.
- the sensor module is to be understood in particular as the entirety of the associated electronic components that are technically required for acquiring and forwarding the desired values and data.
- the supply unit essentially consists of a battery, a rechargeable battery or such a pack of several batteries or rechargeable batteries.
- the rechargeable battery and/or the rechargeable battery pack can be inserted in the sensor housing in an exchangeable manner or can be permanently installed in it, that is to say cannot be installed in a removable manner.
- the sensor housing has at least one plug connection and/or connection panels for connecting an electrical charging source.
- the rear side of the sensor housing which is attached facing inward in or on the fastening device, has a fixing element, which is in particular at least one Velcro element, at least one snap fastener or another, releasable fastening means or includes such a thing.
- a fixing element which is in particular at least one Velcro element, at least one snap fastener or another, releasable fastening means or includes such a thing.
- “front”, “back”, “inside” and “outside” means the intended position of the fastening element (gaiter) and the sensor unit attached to it or in it on the horse during normal forward movement during intended, normal use, if the text context is not mandatory something different results or something different is expressly determined.
- in front means in the direction of the head
- back in the direction of the tail
- inside in the direction of the adjacent leg
- transverse in the running direction
- outside means in the direction away from the adjacent leg, transverse to the running direction or a theoretical head-tail axis.
- the sensor unit is designed to record movement data from the sensor unit, in particular movement data from the sensor unit in space.
- the sensor unit preferably has a gyroscopic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a magnetometer, a pressure sensor, a vibration sensor, a magnetic sensor and/or an optical sensor.
- a GPS sensor can also be included.
- a temperature sensor is preferably also included, which is set up to record the temperature of the horse and/or the ambient temperature. Also preferably included is a sensor for detecting the heart rate and/or the blood time volume, which is set up to detect the heart rate and/or the blood time volume of the horse.
- the data that is determined, for example, in a gaiter type such as a stable gaiter with a sensor unit in the upper area of the gaiter differs from that of a sensor unit in a jumping gaiter when the sensor unit is attached in the lower area of the gaiter. In both cases, however, it is movement data of the horse.
- the data is received—preferably wirelessly—preferably in real time via the receiving device for receiving the data from the sensor unit.
- the data from the sensor are preferably transmitted directly in real time to the receiving device without intermediate storage on the sensor.
- the receiving device is connected to the evaluation unit and makes the data available to the evaluation unit.
- the time multiplex method is preferably used here.
- the evaluation unit for evaluating the data of the sensor unit received by the receiving device is preferably equipped with a processor and designed to be portable.
- the evaluation unit preferably has a screen.
- the evaluation unit particularly preferably has an input interface, for example a keyboard, a touch-sensitive screen, a selector switch, particularly preferably a rotatable selector switch.
- the detection unit for identifying the type of fastening device serves to input the type of gaiter and thus the position of the sensor unit on the horse's leg.
- This detection unit can either be the input interface of the evaluation unit, via which the information on the type of gaiter is entered.
- the detection unit is preferably an input unit, in particular an input unit of the evaluation unit.
- an on-screen drop-down menu is used from which the type can be selected, or a rotating menu via which the type can be selected.
- the detection unit preferably includes an RFID reader.
- the RFID transmitter is preferably attached to the fastening device, i.e. the gaiter, and can then be read by the RFID reader.
- the RFID reader can be integrated in the evaluation unit, for example, and can read the RFID transmitter by approaching the evaluation unit to the latter.
- the RFID transmitter can also be attached to the gaiter and the RFID reader can be designed integrally with the sensor unit.
- the RFID Reading device in the sensor unit reads the RFID transmitter in the gaiter and thus receives the information - this information can then be transmitted to the receiving device and from there passed on to the evaluation unit. This can be done once in an initialization phase or regularly during the measurement process of the sensor unit. Additional information that can be entered is information on which leg (front, back, right, left) of the horse the sensor unit or fastening device or gaiter is attached to. It is also possible for this information to be entered via a selector switch. This selector switch can be provided on the sensor component or on the evaluation unit.
- the evaluation unit is now set up to evaluate the data from the sensor unit depending on the type of fastening device, in particular the position of the sensor unit on the horse's leg. Since the position on the leg determines what the raw data looks like that is determined for the individual movements of the horse, it is now possible to evaluate this data depending on the type of gaiter and thus, for example, to decide what gait the horse is in (Walk trot Gallop).
- a sensor unit is preferably used, in particular for certain movements such as walking, trotting, cantering. This can be used to determine the simple fitness of the horse. More preferably, two sensors are used, particularly when it is desired to move to a more precise technique, such as analysis while jumping. More preferably, four sensors are used, especially when it comes to analyzing the full accuracy and precision of advanced technique movements such as for dressage. It is also conceivable to use six sensor units, with four attached to the gaiter on each leg and a further two sensor units on the hind leg in the higher area. For each gait, the angles on the front leg can be recorded and compared with the corresponding angles on the other front leg. The same goes for the joints on the hind leg. The corresponding joints on the hind leg are called the pastern joint between fetlock and cannon bone, referred to as the hock joint between the cannon bone and lower leg and as the knee joint between the lower leg and thigh.
- lameness can be detected, for example when there is an injury in one of the legs, by looking at the weight distribution, force and movement analysis, which is comparable to previous movements and the other three legs.
- the position of the foal and the movement of the foal can be detected to know when the horse is going to give birth - before it happens.
- the birth itself can be detected and then a message about this can be forwarded.
- the evaluation unit preferably takes into account the movement of the legs, turning while standing, the level of stress when lying down, how the legs are positioned when laying down and with this information about pattern movement and positioning it is determined when a foal comes before it starts and before it comes out.
- a message is then preferably sent about this and the owner is notified, for example—preferably using the same offline technology in the mobile unit in order to send SMS etc.
- the evaluation unit is set up to recognize the patterns that are associated with an occurring colic.
- the movement of the hind legs can preferably be taken into account here, in particular when they hit the stomach.
- whether the front right or left legs are moving (stress) and whether the horse turns, how many times in a certain time and whether it lies on its stomach for at least a predetermined period of time can be taken into account.
- a message can be sent in good time that provides information about colic.
- the sensor unit can be provided with a memory element and temporarily store the data in this memory element.
- the data from the sensor unit can thus be stored in the memory element and preferably transmitted to the receiving device at a predetermined point in time.
- the data is particularly preferably transmitted upon request by the evaluation unit or the receiving device.
- the sensors can be in a star network (i.e. they are set up as slaves and masters) or as a stand-alone sensor.
- the sensors can preferably be set up as slaves in order to generate data and send it to the master (receiving device with evaluation unit) for further analysis. It is also possible to set up three sensors as slaves and 1 sensor as a master.
- the master transmits the information or analyzes the information. When all sensors are set up as masters, each sensor transmits or analyzes the information.
- the evaluation unit is preferably set up to continue working with the other sensors even if one sensor fails.
- the evaluation unit can particularly preferably send a message that the reception of the data from a sensor unit is restricted, is faulty or does not occur at all.
- the evaluation unit can preferably be connected to the sensor unit.
- the evaluation unit is therefore preferably integrally connected to the sensor unit and can analyze the data here.
- the sensor unit particularly preferably uses a standard such as 5G or intelligent narrowband technology such as LTE-M, NBloT to transmit the data to the evaluation unit, which is located in the cloud.
- a portable sensor device in which the evaluation unit has an independent operating system. Thanks to an independent operating system, the evaluation unit is able to evaluate the data itself and does not have to transfer it to the cloud - for example via a smartphone - in order to have the data evaluated there and then receive the result again. This means that no traffic between the smartphone/cloud/computer and back is necessary and it is possible to do this evaluation in remote areas where there is no network connection.
- a portable sensor device in which the receiving device is set up to receive signals from the sensor unit wirelessly via a first wireless interface, the receiving device being designed separately from the sensor unit.
- This first wireless interface is preferably based on LoRa or LoRaWLAN technology, particularly at 2.4 GHz.
- the first wireless interface is very particularly preferably based on 5G or an intelligent narrowband technology such as LTE-M, NB-loT, so that the data can be uploaded directly to the cloud and the evaluation unit is also provided in the cloud. This makes it possible to receive real-time data from multiple sensors at the same time, whereas with a Bluetooth connection it would only be possible to read one sensor at a time.
- a 2.4 GHz transmission is preferably used by the 4 sensors to send the data in real time - it is preferably not stored in the sensors and is sent immediately to the mobile unit (receiving device).
- a memory element is provided for temporarily storing the data.
- a portable sensor device is provided in which the evaluation unit is set up to evaluate the sensor data from more than one sensor unit at the same time, preferably from two, four or six sensor units. This means that more complex analyzes are possible with one horse and with several horses the parallel measurement and monitoring of several horses at the same time is possible with one device.
- a portable sensor device in which the evaluation unit is connected to the receiving device, a storage unit and a transmission device, and the evaluation unit is set up to receive sensor data from the at least one sensor unit from the receiving device and to store it in the storage unit and/or to transmit wirelessly via the transmission device via a second wireless interface to a cellular network and/or a cloud.
- the other elements separated from it around the evaluation unit are preferably combined in a mobile device or a mobile unit.
- the evaluation unit with these additional elements, i.e. the mobile unit is preferably smaller than 20 cm x 10 cm x 4 cm, in particular smaller than 17 cm x 7 cm x 3 cm.
- the evaluation unit can also be arranged in the cloud and a mobile unit can be dispensed with.
- the mobile unit collects the information from the sensor units and the type of attachment device and it is stored and processed in an operating system within the mobile unit (receiver).
- the mobile unit preferably has a Linux operating system that processes the information in an SQL database, for example in order to send it to a smartphone in compiled form and to display the results on the smartphone.
- the mobile unit also preferably has a Linux operating system in order to process the information on local algorithms and, if a status to be reported is determined, to react and take an action to indicate this status, for example on the physical mobile unit to start an alarm, send SMS messages or initiate calls, contact the smartphone, send data via WiFi, etc.
- the mobile unit preferably has a communication range of up to 300 meters.
- SMS can be sent to predetermined numbers when specific limits are violated in the monitored horses, or specific phone numbers can be called.
- a connection to the cloud be it via WiFi or 3G, 4G, 5G, LTE and upload data in order to subject it to a more extensive analysis and to send the result to a predetermined telephone, for example, where the results are displayed be able.
- the data can be sent to a smartphone via Bluetooth and displayed on it.
- the mobile unit with the local operating system, ie the evaluation unit, enables several sensor data sets (several horses) to transmit the information at the same time and carry out the actions described above.
- the mobile unit enables the display of each horse profile individually on the screen and can switch between them, preferably via a rotating selector switch or the touch-sensitive screens. With the mobile unit, multiple phones can receive the same information at the same time.
- the mobile unit also allows the connection of additional systems such as cameras, additional devices, sensors, RFID, Lara technology. All analyzes are performed on the mobile device or sent to the smartphone. This makes it possible to carry out the calculations without traffic via a mobile network and a cloud in which the calculations would otherwise be carried out.
- the movement profile of the horse can be determined by evaluating the recorded data in the evaluation unit without additional computing capacity.
- the object is also achieved by a method for determining a movement profile of a horse using a portable sensor device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein
- the evaluation unit evaluates the data from the sensor unit depending on the type of fastening device and
- a kit of parts for a sensor device for determining a movement profile of a horse consisting of a fastening device in the form of a gaiter, which has at least one Velcro strip for fastening to the horse's leg and a sensor unit that is attached to the gaiter, wherein the sensor unit is designed to record movement data, in particular movement data in space.
- the underside of the sensor unit has a fixing element, in particular a Velcro element, to which a counter-fixing element, in particular a counter-Velcro element, for attaching the fixing element of the sensor unit is arranged complementarily in the area of the at least one Velcro fastener strip of the gaiter.
- This counter-fixing element is attached in particular to the outside of the gaiter:
- This method and the use of the sensor unit and/or the parts set make it possible for the first time to use sensor units for different types of gaiters and to determine the movement profile of the horse with an evaluation unit independently of these different types.
- the exact location of the sensor unit is determined and it is therefore possible to carry out the evaluation thereupon to adjust. It is thus possible for the first time to use these universally according to the "mix and match" principle, independently of individual gaiters and sensor units attached to them.
- the evaluation unit can determine the movement profile of one or more horses in parallel on the basis of the information on the type of gaiter—and preferably on the leg to which the gaiter is attached.
- This evaluation can be carried out in the evaluation unit itself. In addition, the evaluation can also be carried out on a remote computer or in the cloud.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a portable sensor device
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a gaiter and a sensor unit
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a mobile unit with a screen and control buttons.
- the portable sensor device 10 consists of a mobile unit 40 and sensor units 15.1 to 15.4 attached to gaiters 12.1 to 12.4.
- the mobile unit is attached to the saddle cloth and includes a first wireless interface 30, a receiving device 20, an evaluation unit 25, a memory 27, a detection device 22 for identifying the type of gaiter 12, a transmission device 24 and a second wireless interface 35.
- the first wireless interface 30 connects the receiving device 20 to the sensor units 15.1 to 15.4.
- the second wireless interface 35 connects the transmission device 24 to the cloud or the mobile network 50.
- the sensor units 15.1 to 15.4 transmit the movement data to the receiving device 20 via the first wireless interface 30.
- a chip is preferably used here that provides a protocol built into the hardware (Enhanced ShockBurst protocol (ESB)). In this way, 6 simultaneous connections can be established using the time-division multiplex method, four of which are used in the example in FIG.
- ESD Enhanced ShockBurst protocol
- the master When exchanging data, the master preferably sends a data packet to the slave, which is confirmed by the slave with Ack (data received). Then the master switches to receive and the slave switches to transmit. Then a data packet is sent from the slave to the master and the master responds with Ack (data received).
- the Enhanced ShockBurst protocol allows 32 byte payload to be sent with the Ack signal. This eliminates the need to switch from sending to receiving and almost double the data transfer rate as usual.
- the detection device 22 for identifying the fastening device 12 was used to input which sensor was attached to which type of gaiter and to which leg of the horse.
- the data from the sensor units 15.1 to 15.4 are then processed in the evaluation unit 25 depending on the data recorded in the recording device 22 on the type of gaiters and thus on the exact position of the sensor in relation to the horse's leg and in the memory unit 27 (intermediate )saved. These results can then be read out, either via the evaluation unit itself or via a downstream device that can be addressed via the transmission device 24 and the second wireless interface 35 .
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a gaiter 12 and a sensor unit 15.
- a recess 13 is provided in the gaiter, into which the sensor unit 15 can be inserted. This is done by inserting the sensor unit along the arrow A.
- the bottom side of the recess 13 and the back of the sensor unit 15 are provided with appropriate Velcro strips or Velcro elements, so that the sensor unit 15 is firmly attached to the gaiter 12 after insertion into the recess 13 .
- the inserted sensor unit can be covered again with protection against dirt and falling out.
- the recess 13 can be provided on the inside of the gaiter, so that when the gaiter 12 is put on, the sensor unit is again secured against falling out by being in contact with the horse's leg.
- the sensor units 15 are primarily attached to the outside of the gaiter, ie in the running direction of the animal and when the gaiters 12 are fastened as intended, on the right or left outside.
- the sensor unit 15 has a Velcro element on the back of the sensor housing and is attached to the outside (pointing outwards, transverse to the head-tail axis) on the gaiter 12, for which purpose a complementary one is attached to the gaiter 12 Counter-climbing element is arranged.
- the counter Velcro element is larger in at least one direction than the sensor housing of the sensor unit 15, so that a protective and security element, such as a leather or textile strip, can be attached at least partially covering the sensor housing.
- the securing element itself also has corresponding counter-clamping elements, in order to be able to move in the sections not covered by the sensor element 15 to be attached. Even if Velcro connections in particular are described here, which are particularly advantageous, alternative fixation means could be provided, comparable to straps with buckles, snap fasteners, etc.
- Most types of gaiters have one or more Velcro straps for attachment to the horse's leg. These have the advantage that they are light, stable and very flat. These are usually applied to the outside of the respective leg and thus fastened (closed).
- a further improvement is that the counter-velcro element for fastening the sensor unit 15 or the sensor housing is fastened on the outside, i.e. on the back/outside, of at least one Velcro fastener of the gaiter 12 and/or on several Velcro fasteners of a gaiter 12, one each Part of a counter Velcro element is arranged, on which together the sensor unit 12 can be attached to the rear Velcro element.
- the counter Velcro element can be arranged at least partially (in the intended use) below at least one Velcro strip of the gaiter 12, so that the sensor unit 15 is covered from the outside by the Velcro strip of the gaiter 12 and is additionally secured.
- Velcro fastener band whereby this is usually made up of several layers, consisting of at least one carrier band, for example made of fabric or leather, and one part (hook or eyelet) of the actual Velcro fastener element, as well as, for example, damping or engagement elements or -sections.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a mobile unit 40 with a screen 41 and operating buttons 42. It is thus possible to view the data and evaluations on the mobile unit 40 via a screen and, if necessary, to make entries using operating buttons 42. For example the menu can also be navigated via the control knobs to enter the type of gaiter and the affected leg of the horse.
- the portable sensor device consisting of the remote sensors and an evaluation unit - be it as a mobile unit or in the cloud - it is possible to carry out an analysis of the movement data of the horse in real time, regardless of whether the sensor is in a jumping gaiter or housed in a stable gaiter. With this it is possible to switch the same sensor unit from one gaiter to another gaiter with the same configuration by the same user, whether it is the same horse or a different horse. It also does not matter if there is a mobile receiver unit or if it is not present and uses 5G technology or intelligent narrowband technology such as LTE-M, NB-loT.
