Is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. It is noted that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising" used in the specification are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the components, steps, operations, and / Or additions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a biometric sensor tag-based livestock history management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a livestock hysteresis management system using a battery-free insertable type sensor tag using a wireless network technology according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a livestock comprehensive history management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an ultra high frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID), a machine to machine (M2M) (Wireless Power Transfer) technology.

UHF RFID technology is used to monitor the temperature information in the living body in real time by using the sensor tag with the built-in temperature sensor in the living body. It can operate without inserting the power source in the livestock, There is an advantage that it can be delivered.

The whole livestock history management system includes a technology for collecting real-time animal body temperature information using a biosimilar sensor tag, an algorithm for analyzing biometric information by transmitting the collected data, converting the transmitted biometric information into a DB, And a system for managing livestock history information by using the system.

Also, in the livestock history management system according to the embodiment of the present invention, a M2M / RFID based wireless communication technology is used, which includes an M2M system, an M2M / RFID / wireless charging fusion repeater, a RFID / , And a protocol for each communication.

Hereinafter, each of the above-described configurations will be described in detail.

RFID system is applied to billing system and history management system in logistics, transportation, distribution, etc. by collecting and managing information about RFID by giving a unique ID to a tag embedded in semiconductor for wirelessly reading or writing information. . It utilizes frequencies in the LF (124 to 134 kHz), HF (13.56 MHz), and UHF (860 to 960 MHz) bands and uses tags, readers, antennas, middleware, object history servers, object information servers, And so on. LF and HF bands are mainly used in systems requiring recognition at 10 cm or less, and UHF can be recognized even within a few meters. Therefore, they are used when mass recognition such as logistics and distribution is required.

In the livestock hysteresis management system according to the embodiment of the present invention, since a non-cell type biosensor type sensor tag inserted in a living body body and sensing and monitoring biometric information is used, a large number of tag information can be read at a certain distance, It is desirable to use the UHF band RFID technology which can make the antenna size smaller.

Machine to Machine is a technology that intelligently collects and transmits information by imposing sensors and communication functions on all objects. The meaning of the negotiation means communication between machines or between machines and machines in which people operate. In broad terms, this means all solutions that can confirm information of objects at remote places by combining communication and ICT technology. Collectively refers to the broadcasting and communication infrastructure for collecting and utilizing necessary information such as environment, weather, energy and traffic from various objects using the Internet anywhere.

The wireless power transmission system is a technology that utilizes the phenomenon that energy is transmitted by the attenuation wave coupling when the frequency between the transmitting and receiving coils resonates in the near field. Self-resonance technology that can transmit power wirelessly from several tens of centimeters to several meters can transmit / receive power regardless of its position within a short distance because the directional freedom of the transmitting and receiving coils is very high. Also, since power is transmitted only to materials having the same frequency, there is little influence by other devices located between the charging system and the charging device. Unlike the magnetic induction type, the power can be transmitted to a plurality of chargers by using one transmission coil because the power can be transmitted to the electronic devices having the same resonance frequency at the same time.

On the other hand, supplying electric power to the sensor tag inserted in the living body of a domestic animal by using a battery increases the size of the sensor tag and makes it difficult to replace the battery. Therefore, in the animal history management system according to the embodiment of the present invention, Cell sensor tags using wireless power transmission technology.

In the wireless power transmission, there may be attenuation according to the transmission distance. Therefore, low frequency wireless charging and RFID fusion antenna are inserted into the sensor tags in the living body, and uW class wireless power transmission included in the RFID technology is applied to the neck- Enables wireless charging of the in-vivo sensor tag.
