Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tracking and management system for a grazing cattle using an object identification device and an unmanned aerial vehicle,

The present invention relates to an animal identification apparatus capable of identifying the position of a livestock in a livestock raising livestock and an animal identification apparatus capable of identifying the position of a livestock in a grazing environment by tracking a livestock using a unmanned air vehicle such as a drone, The present invention relates to an apparatus for tracking and managing a grazing cattle using an object identification device and an unmanned aerial vehicle, which enables easy management of livestock within a grazing pasture.

In recent years, various diseases related to cattle such as foot-and-mouth disease or mad cow disease have been growing in a small housing space in order to breed livestock such as cattle, pigs, etc., and as the immunity is weakened, interest in safe food is increasing.

As a part of this view, there are increasing cases of farming of mountainous ecosystems and animal welfare farms, which are methods of breeding livestock in large grasslands instead of narrow pens.

In other words, the issue of proper area and environment construction per animal has recently been raised, and the importance of mountainous eco-stocks, that is, grazing livestock, is increasing day by day.

However, in case of livestock grazing, it is difficult to grasp the position of livestock and the state of livestock within a wide grassland.

As a technique for solving such a problem, "Ubiquitous-based grazing system" (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1219178, Patent Document 1) is disclosed.

Patent Literature 1 discloses a system in which a sending device is installed in each of grazing livestock, a terminal for transmitting a command from a surveillance camera and a control center to a ranch is attached to a ranch, and a fancy terminal Configuration is disclosed.

Although the above-described configuration is expected to have an excellent effect in preventing the departure of each livestock within the paddy field, the facility cost is increased because a terminal for emitting a warning signal to the entire paddy paddy must be installed. There is a problem that you must train a professional ranch dog to perform the command of the dog control center.

As another technique, an animal management method and management system using a GPS (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0371679, Patent Document 2) is provided with a GPS module capable of transmitting position information to a livestock, The technology that can be grasped and managed is disclosed.

Patent Document 2 is more effective in managing the total amount of livestock in the grassland than in Patent Document 1.

However, in the case of Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, it is only possible to know whether or not the livestock departure phenomenon occurs, and when the livestock departure phenomenon occurs, it can not be tracked and continuously monitored.

In addition, conventional techniques are unable to selectively monitor specific entities.

For example, the classification of males, females and breeds of livestock must be separately managed at all times. However, the conventional techniques described above have such a problem that the livestock in the grazing pasture can not be selectively segmented and monitored.

In addition, when grazing breeding is carried out by entrustment, there is also a problem that monitoring of specific livestock entities requested by the entrustor can not be performed.

First, the signal measured by the object identification device 200, the input signal of the object input device 600, and the image pickup data of the unmanned air vehicle 100 are stored in the position storage 520 of the analysis server 500, , And is stored in the shooting information storage unit 530 and monitored (S100).

Then, the analysis unit 540 compares and analyzes the collected information with the normal information (S110). When the tracking target occurs (S120), the analyzing unit 540 transmits the tracking target position data to the control station 300 (S130) The analysis server 500 transmits the location data of the object to be tracked to the control station 300 and the control station 300 having received the position data records the position data of the object to be tracked through the route change unit 370 The route of the air vehicle 100 is changed S150 so that the unmanned airplane 100 traces the object to be tracked S160 and the signal is transmitted to the shooting information storage unit 530 or specifically to the tracking shooting storage unit 532 (S170), and the analysis server 500 is left as it is or after the marking process, and then transmitted to an administrator, a contractor, or the like (S180).

In addition, after the message transmission (S140), the administrator starts the post-management (S190) and ends the post-management (S210) after taking an action (S200) such as separation of livestock, invasion livestock and slaughtered livestock.

This real-time monitoring provides follow-up administrators with the data to be tracked, which can be tracked and tracked, or can be easily driven out of invading animals.

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, it is easy to track and manage livestock separated from the group.

This makes it possible to track-record individual animals according to the individual ID 220 provided for each of the individual identification devices 200.

On the other hand, the analyzing server 500 analyzes the intruding intruder or non-intruding intruded livestock that are not equipped with the entity ID 220 and provides the unidentified intruder or the position of the animal, It is also possible to trace such nemesis or other animals through.

In addition, if a request of a consignor entrusting the breeding of livestock is performed in the same manner as online, it can be tracked by object ID 220 and the data can be transmitted in real time.

In addition, since the livestock vaccination and illness history are stored through the object input device 600, it is possible to grasp the status of the livestock, the location and the movement according to the characteristics through the statistical data, and it becomes easy to manage various livestock will be.

The present invention can be used to track various grazing livestock individually

The present invention can be applied not only to grazing livestock but also to prevention and management of grazing livestock diseases of the domesticated animals.
