Looking at the components of the present invention, it consists of a livestock ticket 100, a short-range wireless communication unit 200, and a personal portable terminal (300).

Livestock table 100 of the present invention is a lower case 110 and a pressure sensor coupled to the outer periphery of the body, inserted into the upper portion of the lower case 110 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor to read the information of the pressure sensor And an upper case 130 having patterned control PCB substrates 120 and a space portion for covering and protecting the substrate at the same time while covering the upper portion of the lower case. Is done.

The lower case 110 has a cylindrical portion in which a protrusion 111 for inserting an animal's ear is inserted into the outer circumference and a pressure sensing sensor connected to the protrusion and integrally connected to the protrusion to detect a pressure according to the pulse of the animal. Body 113, and integrally connected to the body and consists of a disk-shaped support plate 114 having a substrate mounting space thereon. Since the pressure sensor 112 is installed through the ears of the livestock, it can directly check the pulse of the livestock.

The control PCB substrate 120 includes an A / D converter 121 for digitalizing the signal measured by the pressure sensor 112 and a memory 122 for storing data digitally converted by the A / D converter 121. And a wireless communication unit 123 for wirelessly outputting a pulse rate per minute at an interval of one hour or two hours by averaging pulse data stored in the memory 122, and connected to the memory 122 and the wireless communication unit 123 to control the data. Control unit 124 for controlling the overall output, a power supply unit 125 for supplying power to the various elements including the control unit, and a dip switch unit for switching the power to the various elements connected to the output terminal of the power supply unit 126, a dip switch 127 connected to the dip switch unit to turn the power on and off by left and right flow, and an LED lamp 128 connected to the control unit 124 to emit light when the body temperature is higher than a reference level.

The upper case 130 has a structure coinciding with the lower case 110, forms an inner space to embed a substrate, and has a disk shape detachable from the lower case 110.

Shapes of the upper case 130 and the lower case 110 may be diversified, and in the present invention, for convenience of description, a disk-shaped panel is illustrated, but it can be manufactured in various forms such as a triangular panel or a square panel.

In addition, the side of the upper case 130 is formed with a hole 131 for the dip switch operation, by inserting a driver through the hole to operate the dip switch to turn on the power supplied to the various devices of the substrate To turn it off or on. The reason for forming a hole for the dip switch operation as described above is that it is difficult to open again when the upper case is covered and closed. Accordingly, a hole for the dip switch operation is formed in the upper case during the production of a livestock product. After the product is released in the off state, and the animal ticket product is installed, the driver is inserted into the hole to move the dip switch to turn on the power supply so that the power supply to the board is performed normally. Therefore, it is possible to cut off power consumption before the livestock mark is installed. After the power is turned on by the dip switch, the hole 131 for the dip switch operation is closed by resin or the like to prevent contaminants from entering through the upper case.

The short range wireless communication unit 200 stores the pulse reference data for wireless communication with the livestock ticket 100 and wireless reference, and compares with the data transmitted from the livestock ticket and determines whether the reference pulse is exceeded. And a wireless communication controller 230 for notifying the data analyzed by the data analyzer to the outside through a personal mobile phone.

The near field communication unit 200 analyzes the signal of the pulse sensor transmitted from the wireless communication unit 123 of the substrate constituting the animal mark, and when it exceeds the standard, the pressure signal measured in the animal mark as a means for communicating with the outside. Analyze data by inputting. The data analyzer 220 of the short range wireless communication unit sets the reference pulse data by subtracting the reference pulse data on a monthly basis.

That is, in the case of healthy cows, the pulse rate of the voice actor is 60-80 times per minute, and the calf is about 90-110 times. When the disease occurs, the pulse usually increases and thus the pulse rate increases.

Therefore, in the case of calves and voice actors, the pulse reference number should be set differently. Accordingly, in the present invention, the reference pulse rate is designed to be sequentially reduced at predetermined time intervals. That is, based on the monthly age of cattle, the first 100 times per minute, two months after each month is deducted for 15 months. Therefore, at the initial calf, 100 pulses per minute becomes the reference pulse, and after 15 months, 70 pulses per minute become the reference pulse. After that, you can keep it without deducting it separately.

In addition, the percentage of deviation from the standard pulse is controlled.In the first place, if more than 10% or less than 10% of the standard pulse rate is recognized as a disease, and then the standard percentage is increased by 0.3% every month. If it exceeds or falls below 14.5% of the pulse rate, it is recognized as a disease.

In other words, the calf should be recognized as a disease if more than or less than 10% of the standard pulse rate, and the large cattle over the age of 15 months to be recognized as a disease if it exceeds or less than 14.5%.

Therefore, in the case of calf one month of age, if the pulse rate is less than 91 or more than 110 times based on 100 pulse rates, it is recognized as a disease, and if the age is more than 15 months, the pulse rate is 80.15 times based on 70 pulse rates. If more than or less than 69.85 times, it is recognized as a disease and can be notified externally.

To this end, the data analysis unit 220 of the short-range communication unit sets the standard pulse rate and the excess range differential according to the age of the cow to check the calf or cattle outside the above range, and whether the cow outside the standard pulse rate exceeds 20%. Use the judgment to inform the sick.

In other words, because a certain number of calf or cattle may suddenly rise in pulse rate, an error that is frequently notified by causing the disease to be notified only when the number of calf or cattle exceeding the standard pulse rate of the total calf or cattle exceeds 20%. Reduce incidence and, more fundamentally, be informed of disease.

At this time, the predetermined communication protocol is set to recognize the identification information of the livestock from the start of the data to a specific byte, and to recognize the data about the pulse of the livestock until the end of the data. In this case, of course, in the animal table, the pressure signal according to the pulse and the animal identification information must be transmitted by combining the above protocol.

The wireless communication control unit 230 stores a plurality of portable terminals for administrators, and if it is determined that a disease has occurred in the livestock, an alarm is transmitted to the plurality of portable terminals for administrators using the Internet network.

The personal portable terminal 300 for the administrator is connected to the short-range wireless communication unit 200 to automatically receive an alarm signal through the MMS text service from the short-range communication unit to cope with this when there is a high possibility of disease of the livestock.

In addition, the short range wireless communication unit 200 transmits a control signal to the live mark 100 to the wireless communication device 210 to turn on the LED lamp 128 installed in the live mark 100.

That is, the short-range wireless communication unit 200 analyzes the pulse-related data transmitted from the livestock ticket and notifies the administrator's mobile phone when a certain number exceeds the standard range and at the same time outputs a control signal to the livestock ticket to feed the livestock By lighting the LED lamp of the table, the manager can easily identify diseased livestock.

Looking at the operation of the present invention below.

First, the lower case 110 equipped with the pressure sensor 112, the substrate 120 having a means for digitizing and storing the data detected by the pressure sensor 112 and transmitting the stored data to the outside, and The lower case 110 and the upper case 130 having the casing 120 is provided to complete the assembly of the live mark 100.

When the assembly is completed, insert the animal's ear mark 100 into the animal's ear.

As described above, when the livestock earmark 100 is mounted on the ear of the livestock, the pulse data can be directly extracted from the ear of the livestock. In the present invention, the pressure sensor 112 is provided on the cylindrical body 113 of the lower case 110. Can be used to directly sense the pulse of the livestock.

If the pressure sensor 112 is not mounted on the lower case 110 constituting the target 100 for livestock, it is difficult to directly check the pulse of the livestock. There is no choice but to check.

However, in the present invention, since the pressure sensor 112 is directly mounted on the lower case 110 of the livestock tab 100, the pulse of the livestock can be measured in real time.

When the pulse of the livestock is measured as described above, the data is output to the outside using a wireless communication means, the short range wireless communication unit 200 collects the data, and the collected data is analyzed by the data analyzer 220 to the disease. If it is determined that the transmission through the wireless communication control unit 230 to the administrator mobile phone (300). In addition, only when the number of cows exceeding the standard pulse rate occurs more than the standard number of heads, it is possible to increase the reliability by communicating the fact of disease to the administrator's mobile phone.

At this time, the short-range wireless communication unit 200 controls the transmission of the temperature data and at the same time when the pressure data averaged for 1 hour or 2 hours exceeds the reference value, and outputs a control signal to the livestock coupon 100 for livestock By turning on the LED lamp 128 installed in this table, a manager such as a veterinarian or a breeder can easily identify livestock showing abnormal symptoms. That is, in the case of a large number of heads of livestock, the manager may determine the livestock showing abnormal symptoms more quickly by looking at the LED lamp 128 installed on the livestock foraging.

The wireless communication unit 123 mounted on the animal bill 100 and the wireless communication device 210 of the short range wireless communication unit 200 receiving data from the wireless communication unit 123 may communicate with each other by various communication methods. Where possible, techniques such as Bluetooth, Zigbee or RFID can be used.

Preferably, Zigbee communication can be used. In the case of Zigbee, data can be transmitted at a speed of 20 to 250kbps at a short distance of 1m up to 100m.In the dual PHY type, the frequency band uses 2.4GHz and 868 / 915MHz. The modem method is Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS-SS). The reason why the Zigbee communication is applied in the present invention is to minimize the impact on livestock and to prolong the life of the battery because it is driven by low power.

In addition, the wireless communication control unit 230 of the short-range wireless communication unit 200 outputs a disease occurrence signal to the administrator mobile phone 300 stored in advance using the Internet network.

5 is a flowchart of the operation of the present invention.

As a step of setting the standard pulse rate, the first born calf is set at 100 pulse rates per minute, the pulse rate is subtracted twice per month to 15 months of age, and when it is 15 months or more, the pulse rate is estimated at 70 times per minute. Setting in the wireless communication unit (S10);

In the step of setting the standard pulse rate exceeding range, the first born calf is set to be recognized as a disease if it exceeds or falls below 10% of the standard pulse rate, and then raises the reference percentage by 0.3% every month. Setting the short-range wireless communication unit to recognize the disease when it exceeds or falls below 14.5% (S20);

Sensing the pulse pressure of the livestock with a pressure sensor of the livestock mark (S30);

Transmitting the sensed information to a short range wireless communication unit (S40);

If the current pulse data exceeds the range of the standard pulse rate from the step, and at the same time more than 20% of the total number of livestock animals exceeding the range of the standard pulse rate, the short-range wireless communication unit transmits the disease alert to the portable terminal for the administrator (S50);

In this step, the current pulse data is made to turn on all of the LED lamps for livestock coupons installed in the livestock exceeding the excess range of the standard pulse rate (S60).

As a result, the present invention can directly extract the pressure data from the body of the livestock by mounting the pressure sensor 112 directly in the lower case 110 of the livestock coupon 100, the information extracted from the short-range wireless communication unit 200 Determining whether or not the reference data has been exceeded, and if the number of individuals exceeding the standard is more than a certain number of animals, it is transmitted through the manager portable terminal 300, which provides an advantage of easier management of livestock.
