Abstract

The present invention relates to a device and algorithm for analyzing the amount of food consumed by a large animal during a day with a recommended amount and a fertilizer. The change in body weight of large animals is closely related to the market price of large animals. For example, in the case of horses, the amount of exercise is high, and the amount of exercise should be controlled according to the amount of exercise. If you eat more than the amount of exercise, it is easy to catch various diseases. On the other hand, in the case of cattle, unnecessary movements should be reduced and weight should be kept as high as possible. The reason is that cows have weight and market prices accordingly. The accurate analysis of the daily intake of large animals is closely related to the income of large animal farmers. The present invention accurately analyzes the time and time at which the animal eats the feed based on the local communication technology and the motion sensor, and transmits the information to the farmer so that the farmer can operate the farm on a scientific basis, There is a purpose.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for analyzing food and feed quantity for large animals (cattle, horse, etc.)

The present invention relates to an apparatus and an algorithm for analysis of feeding amount of feed of cattle, horse, etc. In the case of horse and cattle, the weight changes according to the amount of feed, and the market value is determined according to the weight. Therefore, farmers are sensitive to changes in body weight of large animals. Accordingly, the present invention analyzes the daily feed diets of a large animal, that is, the amount of feed consumed by a large animal, and if the diets are consumed more than the target feed amount, the amount of feed is reduced, If you are doing this, increase the amount of feed to maintain your desired weight. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to equip (1) a beacon based on local communication (eg Bluetooth, WiFi, LPWAN) and (2) a communication module and a gesture sensor to be. And (3) an algorithm that distinguishes the behavior patterns in which the animal eats the feed, specifies it, and distinguishes data about other operations other than the eating behavior.

In the past, it was difficult to check the amount of food consumed by large animals over time. In the case of horses, we have to eat about 15 hours a day. The reason is that the size of the horses is small and the secretion is constant, so that the horse structure is formed to eat grass (forage) over a long period of time. However, in case of the opposite, it is difficult to pay the feed continuously over 15 hours, so it is divided by time. In the case of horse, obesity is the enemy. And it is very important to check the amount of activity since horse feed is essential for the amount of exercise.

In the case of cattle, feeds are collectively supplied to the feeder, so it is impossible to check the amount of food taken in individual units. Cows are required to reduce unnecessary momentum, while feed intake is determined by age group (by life cycle). You should eat this much. In order to make this possible, it is necessary to use indoor positioning technology and local communication technology to find out whether the cattle are near the feeder box, and low-power design technology that enables the analytical equipment to operate for one year, This is the background of the algorithm that finds the eating behavior when it comes to the feeding box and analyzes it.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for a large animal to feed on a feeder based on indoor positioning technology and local communication technology, The sensor technology and the analysis algorithm that can analyze the problem are the problems to be solved.

First, beacons for short-range communication, Wi-Fi router, A-GPS using mobile communication network, and GPS using satellite are the primary solution. Using the above-described wireless communication technology, an operation of grasping the moving position of the large animal on the farm and finally eating the feed from the time when it passes the beacon installed at the gate near the food container is started.

After the feeding operation is started, the feeding operation is analyzed through the 3-axis or 6-axis sensor. This is analyzed as the amount of change in X, the amount of change in Y, and the amount of change in Z. The specific action of the animal to eat the feed, that is, the up and down movement of the head, It will be possible to analyze the eating behavior.

Third, the operation analysis data of the collected animals are connected to the Internet through a hub for short-range communication, stored in a server, and then transmitted to a farmer.

It is possible to check the correct feeding amount of the large animal.

Thus, it is possible to analyze between animal movements and feed quantity.

By doing so, weight management of large animals is possible.

Achieving the target weight can increase farmers' sales.

Fig. 1 is a diagram showing that the eating operation is started when the large animal approaches the feeding canal.
2 is a hardware configuration for recognizing an eating operation.
Fig. 3 is an algorithm for recognizing the eating action.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart for recognizing an operation and delivering its contents to a server and a farmer.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a view in which the large animal approaches the feeding container 7 to feed the feed. When the large animal approaches the food container 7, the beacon 5 transmits a radio wave for recognizing the large animal. At this time, the large animal feed quantity analyzing apparatus 2 attached to the neck of the large animal receives the radio wave 3, analyzes the identification number contained in the radio wave, recognizes that the feed can be accessed if the signal is correct, Analysis algorithm.

Fig. 2 is a diagram of a large animal eating feed in a feed can. When the feed is eaten, the larva approaches the head to the feeder and falls. At this time, in the feed amount analyzer 10 attached to the neck of the animal, the amount of change in the direction of the horizontal (= delta X), vertical (= delta Y), and vertical do. If the time it takes for the large animal to remain bowed for more than 5 seconds, the algorithm considers the large animal to be eating the feed. Then check the horizontal and vertical movements with your head leaning. Then, all the time information at that time is stored in the flash memory of (15). Then, when the large animal catches the head, recognizes that it is an unexpected situation from this time, counts up to the point where the head is bowed again, judges that if it continues for 5 seconds or more after bowing the head, To the flash memory. However, if the animal does not see the movement of the head, then move it elsewhere, or bow the head again through the sensor, the analysis algorithm will stop. The analysis algorithm is completely stopped when the beacon of FIG. 1 (4) is installed, and the analysis algorithm enters the power-saving mode again until the large animal receives the wireless signal through (5) .

Fig. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of a feed mass analyzer for large animals. (13) CPU analyzes wireless communication algorithm and the amount of food of large animal through 3-axis sensor. As described above, the collected information is stored in the flash memory of (15), the stored information is transmitted by (4) number of beacons through the antenna (18), and the beacon transmits the received information through the connected broadband network It is transferred to

Fig. 4 is an algorithm for analyzing the feed rate of large animals. (24), when a large animal enters the beacon, it recognizes that the equipment has entered the vicinity of the feeder (25), and after receiving it checks the ID of whether the information conveyed is near the feeder. (26), the inside of the feeder analyzer for the large animal (10) is switched to the feeding mode, and the information inputted through the sensor (14) is processed and analyzed 28). When the mode is started, the behavior patterns and similarities of the animals are analyzed through Delta X, Delta Y, and Delta Z, which are stored in the previously stored large animals. (29) In particular, (That is, whether or not negative operation is performed). If the negative momentum continues for more than 3 seconds on the Z axis, the degree of movement to the horizontal and vertical directions is grasped. At this time, the persistent time and time information is stored in the flash memory (33). Then, continuously check whether there is an exception in the Z axis (35). The information stored in the memory is transmitted to the server through a broadband network via a beacon. (34)
