Description

A MONITORING AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR HORSES

TECHNICAL FIELD

PRIOR ART

Horses have been used to ride and benefit from meat and milk since they were first domesticated. Today, it is generally used for business purposes in rural areas and for sports purposes in urban life. In sports horses, especially in race horses, performance evaluations are very important. Contrary to common knowledge, horse racing is a type of organization aimed at improving the breeding and running performance of horses rather than making money for bets. In horses and especially race horses, performance evaluation criteria are measured by different methods such as how long it takes to run a certain distance and instantaneous and total speed determination during running. However, as it is known, these evaluations and performance criteria depend on many parameters and these data must be evaluated simultaneously and relative to each other. There is currently no device and software to evaluate independent parameters and can be used practically in galloping horses. The data obtained from the devices used in the sector are generally evaluated during treadmill application either in real time or after recording. However, during training, the presence of other horses on the running track, the jockey's attitude and behavior towards the horse, the effects of environmental factors (weather conditions, the occurrence of sand or grass on the runway, etc.) are also involved, and the effects of these parameters on performance are not known. These problems are completely eliminated by means of the device we plan to produce and to be patented.

Prior to our invention, as a solution to the above-mentioned technical problem, devices were designed according to the individual parameters. Parameters such as speed and acceleration were made via wristbands that work with the GPS system, worn on the jockey's wrist and made for people. Also, treadmill tests were used to determine the parameters of heart rate and respiration of horses. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention collects at least two of the accelerometer, magnetometer, rotation meter, tissue chemical sensors (lactic acid, glucose, blood gases, pHvs), low and or high frame rate recording cameras, on / offswitches, GPS (Global PositioningSystem) / GLONASS / BeiDou / Galileo satellite based positioning sensors, electrocardiogram, electromyogram, force sensor, temperature sensor, infrared photon sensor, pressure sensor, face / limb recognition sensor, eye recognition sensor, light sensor, rest evaluation sensor, cumulative radiation sensors and RFID sensors under a single device and records the data of the horse in motion (walk, trot, canter and gallop types) as well as complete resting data by means of its special software and makes it quantitative parameters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is about a system which collects at least two of the accelerometer, magnetometer, rotation meter, tissue chemical sensors (lactic acid, glucose, blood gases, pHvs), low and or high frame rate recording cameras, on / off switches, GPS (Global Positioning System) / GLONASS / BeiDou / Galileo satellite based positioning sensors, electrocardiogram, electromyogram, force sensor, temperature sensor, infrared photon sensor, pressure sensor, face / limb recognition sensor, eye recognition sensor, light sensor, rest evaluation sensor, cumulative radiation sensors and RFID sensors under a single device. Thanks to that device, the data of the horse in motion (walk, trot, canter and gallop types) as well as complete resting data is recorded by means of its special software and turns it to quantitative parameters. In this way, data on horse performance can be scientifically evaluated by horse owner and veterinarians in computer and smartphone environment. This device also records the data about the jockey during the training and informs the jockey in case of a possible danger.

Today, feeding, fluid intake and drug follow-up of horses cannot be performed sensitively, and since horses lose a lot of fluid during running, fluid and electrolyte may be given via veins after running. Thus, with the invention, food and liquid tracking of horses are made by food / liquid packages with RFID tags and liquid / volume sensors tracks that tags, weight measurement and change sensors, force and pressure sensors, video cameras and software to automatically calculate how much liquid lost in the race, if it takes enough liquid and energy before the race in real time and horse owner, groom, veterinarian and rider are warned if necessary. RFID automatic feed and liquid measuring system works with RFID tags and RFID readers on the horse, the oath, the groom and the rider. As the proximity increases, the RFID feeding system works more accurately and control and security are provided by mini cameras and microphones placed on or around the horse.

With the force and pressure sensors attached to the horseshoes and / or hooves of the invention, horse weight and impact force are automatically determined, information such as irregularities in walking and running, weight loss (for example, how much fluid loses in run, the effect of hot weather) can be detected automatically and the horse owner, the groomer, the veterinarian or the rider are warned if necessary.

Force platforms for foot health in humans have been used for a long time and personalized shoe designs are made. Similarly, horseshoe status and its effect to the horse can be monitored with foot and horseshoe health module for faulty horseshoe and horseshoe removal, nail drop / slip, and the horse owner, the groom, the veterinarian or the rider are warned if necessary. Force sensors, force and pressure platforms, video cameras and acceleration, rotation and magnetic field sensors are used for this purpose. The loosening of the horseshoe is monitored by extra vibrations in the sensor recording signals and signal vibration frequency and amplitude changes. The changes in this data are monitored for the detection of incorrect shoeing, based on the plane and vector shift measured from the sensors when the horse is in equilibrium. For example, during the horse’s trot or slower walks, elements of additional or harmonic frequencies are taken into account when the accelerometer frequency distribution is below a certain frequency.

Thanks to the invention, real-time, continuous and accurate position of horses

(horse, horse limbs / joints etc.), speed (horse, horse limbs / joints etc.), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), heart rate, respiration rate , breathing sounds, detailed body movements, body temperatures from different regions, performance and health-related body chemicals (lactic acid, enzymes, etc.), push button or automatic-based timing information, horse identification information (face / retina / other body regions, etc. recognition, RFID), rider recognition, infrared image recording, environmental image and audio recording, analysis / storage and transmission of all data, performance / health safety estimates from all data are done. To determine the position and speed of the horse, more accurate and faster GPS and satellite based position velocity information, acceleration / magnetometer / gyroscope data can be used. Since the magnetometer / gyroscope placed on the legs of the horse gives the leg angle change in each step and the distance between the limbs and the distance between the legs is known, how far the horse travels and indirect velocity can be found by taking derivative. A camera placed in the horse's belly, like laser or optical mouse, can find the speed and position from the ground / perimeter pattern change. At least one of the above-mentioned acceleration / magnetometer / gyroscope and cameras of the same operating principle in laser or optical mouse should be used to determine the position and velocity values.

Irregularities in horses' heart beat can affect their performance in races and may even lead to horse and rider accidents. With the full-time ECG heart monitoring module of the invention, heart problems such as arrhythmia are automatically detected and the horse owner, the groomer, the veterinarian or the rider is warned if necessary. For this purpose, recordings are made by the electrodes placed under the saddle, legs and neck of the horse.

ECG, respiratory rate, location, speed, body temperature, body chemicals (lactic acid, oxygen and carbon dioxide, etc.) and parameters such as pale volume of the horse are recorded simultaneously and with high precision. Just as in professional athletes, factors that determine horse performance are measured. Thanks to our invention, the quality of race horses is determined and the horses whose performance will not develop in the future can be identified so it will be easier to comment on whether to invest in the future. Thus, large financial wastes can be prevented. It is also possible to determine which training affects race horses and how much their performance can be increased in the future. The invention can be used to synchronize the data of other horses using the same invention and to improve the horse's racing performance within the group.

With the invention, the following characteristics of horse riders are measured in real time, continuously and precisely using ECG and acceleration / magneto / gyro- sensor equipment to be placed on the riders. The heart rate, ECG, respiratory rate, detailed body limb information and movements, rider voice, body temperatures, performance and health-related body chemicals (lactic acid, enzymes, etc.) are measured.

It provides some grooming services by providing automatic recognition of horses with RFID / Face / limb / eye sensor. For example; when the feed begins to be eaten, the person with the nearest RFID chip (groomer or horse owner) is informed, whether the feed is eaten by the horse can be determined by the acceleration / magneto / gyro-sensors on the head of the horse. In the situations like; the distance between the horse’s and the groom’s RFIDs are too far and the horse goes for a walk, being away for a long time from the groom when the horse is awake and the groom’s distance during the feeding can be automated and some errors can be prevented. For example, if the RFID chip of the groom is not nearby and the RFID chip of the feed and liquid is detected, this means that someone who is not authorized gives feed or liquid to the horse and the groom or horse owner is warned by wireless, wired signal transmission, sound, vibration or visually.

With the pressure sensor, bleeding and diseases related to the increase in blood pressure in horses can be detected.

Infrared photon sensor can detect heat increase in deep tissues so the health of horses can be monitored more carefully and damage is prevented.

The causes of rider accidents are revealed and precautions are taken in order to prevent damage to both riders and horses by recording the ECG, respiration, position, heart rate, position of the body and limbs relative to each other and to the horse information coming from the sensors placed on the horse riders and the information from the horse simultaneously. For example, situations like; heart rate with ECG / pulse oximeter placed on the rider's chest or wrist, breathing rate with chest band or microphone placed on chest, temperature with IR sensor from body, posture with acceleration / magneto / gyrosensor placed on back, tachycardia, tension, pre-disease conditions, imbalance situations with vector plane are identified. For example, if the horse's feet are leaning to the side more than the previously recorded position, if any vibration is detected on the limb by sensors, whether the horse's body is leaning sideways with the sensor placed around the saddle, whether the heart beats are too fast / slow or arrhythmic, are taken into consideration.

The horse and rider parameters can be recorded synchronously and in real time and transferred to an advanced computer unit, which can be evaluated via wired or wireless software.

Precise acceleration and running information is determined by the timer placed on the rider or the horse, when the rider presses the marking button on the timer to mark at any time and place intervals along the way. For example, this equipment can be used to mark race or jogging in a simple way to measure canter, gallop speed parameters.

Time-dependent speed and position detection technology using only one locating sensor (e.g. GPS) has a high ratio of error. A mistake of several meters is unacceptable for race horses where performance is important. With this invention, at least two position / speed detection devices are used at the same time, which greatly reduces this error. If desired, the error can be reduced more by placing a special position / speed finding system in the area where the horse runs. The details of the precision multi-position and speed module are described below.

It is known that some horses are ambitious and increase their speed when they see an opponent horse next to them during the race. Thanks to our invention, the degree of this situation can be determined in advance by cameras capable of recording at high speed placed at least one of the horse's head, halter, saddle and tail root regions.

The data obtained from the trainings about horse races are examined in detail in sector-specific newspapers and magazines by experts. Generally, the quantitative values of horses during gallop training are determined by both statistical and performance based mathematical procedures. This situation is also carefully monitored by race forecasters. With the system and software of our invention, the data in such records can be automatically converted into rational information (e.g. what will be the horse position in comparison to other horses in the race, etc.) by artificial intelligence algorithms or expert examination in the written and visual media organs of the sector and / or database operations with paid application system can be developed.

MODULES OF OUR INVENTION ARE DESCRIBED BELOW:

All of the modules described below are functional and can be reduced in number and undesired parts can be removed and some sensors can be used in common. 1. Precision Multiple Position and Speed Module; combines location and speed information from many satellites at the same time with ground location information to provide very precise location and speed detection. This module comprises GPS satellite receiver parts such as GPS, GLONASS, Galielovs and further comprises a computer, a data module, a data transmission module parts that analyze this data.

2. Environment Camera Module; monitors the environment of the horse and the effect of the horses in the environment. This module comprises a video camera, an RF power sensor, a computer and a data transmission and can run the required software. The information obtained can be used for performance improvement.

3. Body Chemicals Monitoring Module; it monitors the horse's performance at the chemical level (the skin of the following region is suitable: the edge or underneath of the saddle, the part of the halter which touches to the head, the tail root). This module can measure important chemicals such as 02 (oxygen), C02 (carbon dioxide), lactate, water concentration, glucose and these data can be transferred to other modules with computers. The information obtained can be used for performance improvement. The sensor contacts the skin and makes direct or indirect measurements from the skin surface or sweat.

4. Rider Performance and Risk Monitoring Module; It monitors the rider's risky movements and activates the rider warning module, which warns if there is a possibility of risk. This module can detect the predetermined danger situation and activate the warning module to save the horse and rider from risks. The module takes into account that if the data coming from the horse and rider's body and limb vectors / planes, acceleration / magneto / gyro sensors with a certain degree of deviation from the measurements previously recorded in the database. For example, it gives a warning if the plane of the rider body is tilted more sideways.

5. Full Time Performance Module; 24 hours of performance and general condition data are collected and analyzed to provide quantitative and precise information on horse running performance. In addition, small changes in body temperature are automatically detected with infrared and non-invasive methods (rectal thermometer, etc.) by means of infrared thermometer without any contact. Thus, the horse is kept away from compelling performance and the horse and rider are avoided from risks. For example, the increases in the fever of the horse before the race and the accidents it has been through can be used in racing performance. This module can calculate the performance information by means of the data received from all sensors and transmit it to the user via data transfer parts.

3D Precision Biomechanical Module; the direction of the horse and the position and vectors of the body, three-dimensional information such as joint angles are also determined and running and gait errors, how far it goes in each step and how much force applied to the ground is recorded to identify the reasons for deficiencies and accidents to provide performance improvement. This module modularly comprises all of the sensors such as the accelerometer / angle / magnetic field meter IR sensor, ECG, EMG meter placed on the horse and the rider, combines the information from the sensitive multi-position module and other modules to form the biomechanical model of the horse and the rider and transmits to the other modules.

Precise And High Noise Suppressing Horse Sound Recording Module; it senses the respiratory rate precisely by suppressing surrounding sounds. This module includes sensitive and multiple microphones, which can suppress environmental noise through adaptive and artificial intelligence methods, and also can send data to other units and perform the necessary operations in that environment. The precision microphone consists of at least 2 different or more microphones and includes an acceleration / magneto / gyroscope module on the horse head and microphone set in different directions. As the angle between the headset and the head changes constantly, the position and angle of the noise sources in the space relative to the microphone also changes. However, with this system, since the angles and sound positions are known, the noise is cleared according to the adaptive noise from the sound of the horse's mouth, and the respiratory rate from the breath sound is determined sensitively. Even in noisy environments, sound can be cleaned and recorded. The noise that distorts the breathing sound is meant by the sound of the horse's halter, the sound of the horse's own foot and the sounds of neighbor horses. The ordinary microphone connected to the halter cannot be fixed and the direction and distance of the halter changes a lot so it cannot get a clean quality sound recording.

Rider Running Button Module; by recording the button pushing timings of the rider, it is possible to obtain simple and quick information about the timing of the running tracks marked by the rider. This module includes a button-shaped marker that the driver can press and that information can be transmitted wired or wireless to other units.

Horse And Rider Identification Module; most of the operations performed by groomers, assistants and riders can be done automatically by detecting the correct feed, medicine, water, working time, saddle usage time, sleeping time, staying in the open air, and how much time they spend in the environment. It can avoid mistakes, provide a full monitoring and helper/groom costs can be reduced. This module comprises a retinal recognition, a multiple of RFID chips, a computer and data transmission parts. RFID modules are placed on the rider body and wrists, groom’s wrists and body, on the saddle and halter of the horse. The RFID module in the horse body is active and sends communication information to the wireless computer. For example, if the horse is moving but the RFIDs on the groom / rider’s hand are not sending signals to the horse's active RFID, it means the horse is being moved by an unauthorized person or it has escaped from the stable.

Precise Performance Prediction Module; the race and risk performances of horses are combined with the data from other modules and the database and the performance of the race can be predicted with high accuracy and transferred to the necessary internet and newspaper environments and the rider and horse owner are warned in risky situations. This module has computer and data transfer features and can run artificial intelligence algorithms and special algorithms and programs. If other racing horses have this module according to the invention, the module is also capable of using information from other horses, thus producing more accurate and more valuable results. As with the previous module, the step and the leg oscillation angles are counted with the acceleration / magneto / gyro sensors placed on the head, saddle and limbs. Passing the same gallop track in 500 steps and passing in 550 steps; taking steps in front / back with 30 degrees or 40 degrees of oscillation are examples of use. Increased step distance and fewer steps lead to higher performance.

Warning Module; enables the rider to take precautions in risky situations by mechanically (vibration, etc.), sound and visual warning. This module comprises a vibration unit, a speaker unit, a visual effect unit (strong LED light etc.). This module also sends warnings to the owner, groomer and veterinarian if necessary.

12. Nutrition and Drug Monitoring Module; performs horses' nutrition, fluid intake and drug follow-up precisely. With this module, food and liquid tracking of horses is done by smart water drinking cup / trough, smart food eating container and RFID marked food / liquid packages and liquid / volume sensors to monitor them, weight measurement and change sensors, force and pressure sensors, video cameras and software. How much fluid is lost in the race, whether it receives enough liquid and energy before the race is determined automatically in real time, if necessary, horse owner, groomer, veterinarian or rider is warned. For example, when the groom’s, horses’ and bait’s RFIDs come together from a predetermined distance, the groom presses a button and the horse is considered to have started eating bait and is considered to have finished feeding to the same or other button is pressed under the same conditions. This information is recorded in the horse database, drugs are recorded in the ID of the horse with the name and dose of the drug, and feeds are recorded by type and quantity. In this way, daily / weekly / monthly food, electrolyte, water, etc. reception is monitored.

13. Heart Health Monitoring Module; in the present invention, problems such as arrhythmia, electrolyte imbalance affecting the heart are automatically detected by the full-time pulse oximeter and ECG heart sensors, if necessary, horse owner, groomer, veterinarian or rider is warned. Irregularities in horses' heart beat can affect their performance in races and may even cause horse and rider accidents.

14. Horseshoe-Hoof Monitoring Module; with the use of force and pressure sensors attached to horseshoes and / or hooves, horse weight and real-time vector ground impact force are automatically determined and information such as irregularities in walking and running, weight losses (how much fluid loses in run), and the effect of hot weather is automatically detected. In addition, shoding and horseshoe removal, nail falling / slippage conditions can be detected in real time and if necessary horse owner, groom, veterinarian or rider is warned.

15. With Static Biomechanics Module; the effect of horse hoof and leg health on horses can be monitored; if necessary, horse owner, groomer, veterinarian or rider is warned. Force platforms for foot health in humans have been used for a long time and personalized shoe designs are made. Similarly, posture, gait and muscle / joint / tendon problems are detected more precisely in this module by using EMG, video cameras, force platforms and Horseshoe-Hoof module in addition. For example, if the load on the right forefoot ranged from

1000 to 1400 Newtons in the previous year on average, it would indicate a biomechanical imbalance if one day exceeded 1500 Newtons. If the horse saddle oscillation in the fixed posture rises above 2 mm compared to the fixed postures after the previous race, the horse is interpreted to have a fatigue. 16. With the Computer Module, up-to-date data can be stored on both horses and riders, as well as on an outdoor computer unit. This unit can also provide wireless data transmission between computers. The description of this module is functional and can be physically located on other modules such as sensor units, warning units (e.g. mobile ARM processors, memory and storage modules, cable or wireless communication / transfer modules) and can operate in real time.

17. With the Environment Position and Speed Module, position and speed can be detected in cases where satellite position systems are not working and can be used to increase the sensitivity of satellite based systems when necessary. This module comprises electromagnetic transmitters and receivers and a computer and operates using telecommunication methods such as phase, intensity timing and modulation.

Smart Horseshoe Module:

The smart horseshoe comprises thinner horseshoes which can be a single horseshoe by connecting to each other. The smart horseshoe comprises at least one acceleration / magneto / gyro-sensor; at least one strain or loadcell; a mini computer with memory, a battery and a wireless capability; a microphone; an ideocamera between the horseshoes and an optical or an electrical data transfer output parts on the shoe. In addition; in this way, biomechanical properties are measured by means of the horseshoe plane angle relative to the ground and the force distribution in the foot by means of the strain sensors / loadcells (stress and load cells) between the two metals. The smart horseshoe comprises at least 3 modular force sensors, at least one acceleration / magneto / gyro-sensor module, and a miniature video camera capable of recording audio between two horseshoe metal surfaces. The force sensor in the shock-proof horseshoe can receive 1 , 2 or 3-way force recordings, realizes the impact force of the horseshoe on the ground in real-time in 3D and can transfer data to a computer online or offline.

The parameters that can be measured with smart horseshoe are given below in terms of sampling without any restriction;

- The desired smart horseshoe modules can be deactivated or not used if necessary. The smart horseshoe module comprises at least 2 thinner horseshoes and between these thinner horseshoes there is a RFID, a voltage and / or a force measuring sensors, a microphone, a mini video camera, an accelerometer / a magneto / a gyro-sensor and a mini computer unit that can transmit data via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The computer unit can work with the unit that converts the horseshoe movements into energy and can charge the battery as well as taking the energy from the mini battery inside. The tension and force sensors are glued between the thinner horseshoes to measure the force exerted by the two thinner horseshoes to each other and are closed to prevent foreign objects from entering. If a single sensor is used, the two horseshoe surfaces are bonded together with hard objects. By calculating the angle of acceleration / magneto / gyro-sensors with respect to the ground plane, the forces applied by the horseshoe in the vertical and horizontal directions are calculated and the information is passed through the analog-to- digital converter of the computer unit and transmitted to another computer via wireless or stored in the memory unit of the computer for retrieval. If necessary, the data can be stored as raw (unprocessed) or processed so that force calculations can be performed on another computer.

- All sensors, cameras and loadcells are synchronized with each other and force recordings are made with time labels.

- According to the sensor, camera and the force time distribution of each individual loadcell and camera information, if necessary, the quality of the ground on which the horse is walking (grass, sand, asphalt, hard ground, etc. ) and soil elasticity values and biomechanical properties are determined from touch, impact or stopping patterns. For example; weight per horseshoe, three- dimensional impact of the toe to the ground, estimated ground elasticity, static weight when the horse is not in motion, the time the horse is in the air, the way the horse takes when the feet are in the air, the way the horse takes, the speed of the horse.

- It is provided to record and monitor the force values of loadcell in each shoe according to time. The weight of the horse is calculated from the weight information in all the horseshoes based on the force applied by the horse per horseshoe. In addition, the horse’s biomechanical parameters of the equilibrium, gait and running are calculated from the loadcell force distribution during gait and running. In addition, biomechanical information and horse speed can be determined by mini video cameras placed in the middle of horseshoes.

- The RFID unit placed on saddle, horseshoe or rider activates passive RFID units placed in known coordinates and can estimate speed and time according to reaction such as incoming RFID tag, communication time, time tag and by reading other sensor information when necessary. If necessary, this information is combined with the position and speed detection unit via GPS to increase the sensitivity.

- In the event of a possible injury, for example, if the horseshoe data is different from the previously stored standard values, it can alert the rider or other persons via the wireless and wired transmission system.

- The body chemicals monitoring module is able to measure the loss of liquid and electrode by measuring the electrolytes such as sodium, potassium from sweat liquid by sensors measuring water concentration, sodium, potassium, chlorine, calcium, glucose, water concentration and lactate placed on the horse skin. In addition, two conductors mounted on the horse's body, such as the right and left of the saddle, can measure the conductivity of the body and calculate the estimated electrode and fluid loss.

Most of the horse and jockey accidents occur during the exit of the horse and jockey from the starting box. With the acceleration, magnetometer, gyroscope, camera or microphone sensors placed on the horse saddle and feet or horseshoes and legs, the airbags placed in the cabin and the rider as clothes are opened in case of an imbalance and the injuries are minimized that may occur to the horse and the rider. If necessary, the system can perform this task without the need of a sensor, only with cameras and computer algorithms installed in the cabinet. With at least 3 microphones, at least one video camera and directional sensors (acceleration, magnetic field and rotation) placed on the horse's halves, the status of the microphones / camera is adjusted to the head of the horse and the horseshoe sound, the sounds of other horses and the breathing sound of the horse localized sounds such as the environment can determine the rate of breathing more successfully. Because the microphone on the saddle changes direction in 3D due to head movements, a ground-facing microphone can sometimes look in the opposite direction. In this case, the noise cleaning algorithms work incorrectly. If saddle sensors are not used, the error is increased due to the fact that the halter cannot remain constant and it is not clear which microphone is directed to which sound source. In addition, from the eye movements of the horse and the sound intensity of the surrounding horses, situations such as the horse's influence and ambition because of other horses can be detected.
