Description

Plant or Animal Lite Cycle Documentation and Playback on Demand
BACKGROUND
Field of invention
[0001] Embodiments described herein generally relate to a system and method for Plant or
Animal Life Cycle Documentation and Playback on Demand. The system and method for Plant or Animal Life Cycle Documentation and Playback on Demand uses automated picture taking and/or video recording equipment to record the production, growing, or raising process of plants, animals, or other grown or manufactured consumables. The pictorial record and/or video recordings are then made available to consumers using correlated identifiers between the original plant, animal, or other subject, the final packaging, and the stored pictorial record and/or video recordings.
Related Art
[0002] People are becoming increasingly knowledgeable about the source and content of food, beverages, nutritional supplements, medicines, and etcetera. Part of this increased awareness concerns the ingredients of such consumables and their effect upon health. As a result of this increased awareness, manufacturers are incentivized to minimize or eliminate ingredients that consumers find objectionable to their well-being. Examples of such ingredients that have been reduced or eliminated from consumables as a result of consumer awareness are such things as high fructose com Syrup, hydrogenated tirans-fats, monosodium glutamate, and growth hormones. Another part of this increased awareness concerns the conditions under which consumables are raised or grown. That is to say, people want to know where their consumables come from, and whether they have been treated with harmful pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or preservatives. For example, consumers are willing to pay increased prices for eggs from free range chickens, wild- caught salmon, aid organic vegetables.
[0003] The demand for healthier and more natural consumables is based on a recognition that healthy food, beverages, nutritional supplements, medicines, and etcetera are best obtained from sources that are themselves in naturally good health. However, consumers continue to be reliant upon the word and reputation of manufacturers and producers that the sources and contents of consumables are In fact as healthy and natural as the manufacturers and producers advertise them to be. Often, manufacturers and producers are not above loosely defining terms so that they evoke a perception that the source of consumables is healthier and more natural titan it actually is. For example, "cage-free" may evoke a perception that animals are able to graze In a pasture setting, when in fact they may be crammed in a building and artificially fed, but just not kept in individual cages. Similarly, manufacturers arid producers are hot above rebranding ingredients and processes to avoid negative perceptions. For example, the artificial sweetener and aspartame analog neotame is marketed as NutraSweet ™, (hereby evoking a perception of "nutritious sweetness", when in fact neotame is made industrially from 3,3-dimethyIbutanat and aspartame via reductive amination, aspartame itself being a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenyialanine dipeptide.
[0004] Because of the tension between manufacturers' and producers' desire to portray consumable products as healthy and natural, and their economic incentive to maximize productivity and profit using unhealthy ingredients and unnatural raising or growing methods, there is an unmet demand for greater access to information regarding these ingredients and/or raising or growing methods.
SUMMARY
[00051 Embodiments described herein relate to a system and method for Plant or Animal Life Cycle Documentation and Playback on Demand. The system and method involves taking pictures or videos of plants, animals, or other grown or manufactured consumables. Pictures are taken of the consumables from birth, hatching, or seed, throughout the production, growing, and/or raising process, all the way to harvest, packaging, and/or sale. Any primary or secondary processes involved in the production, growing, and/or raising process are also recorded. This may be accomplished by marking or tagging each individual produced, grown, or raised consumable with an identifier such as a barcode, Quick Response (QR) code, and/or Rad» Frequency identification (RFID) chip early in its development. For non-limiting example, when a seed is planted or an animal is born (or hatched), it may be marked or tagged.
[0006] In this embodiment of the system and method for Plant or Animal Life Cycle Documentation and Playback on Demand, the automated picture taking and/or video recording equipment then is able to identify the plant, animal, or other subject, which may be one among very many such plants or animals, using the identifier. The automated picture taking and/or video recording equipment then takes pictures or videos of the plant, animal, or other subject, and sort the videos by individual subject. In this way, a series of pictures or a video clip is collected for each plant, animal, or other subject, thereby documenting their production, growing, and/or raising process and/or conditions throughout their duration. It is noted that the visual record may be Intermittent, such as a series of photos that can be viewed individually or collectively as an animation, maybe continuous, such as a continuous video that is presented in its ordinal length or compressed for more convenient viewing.
[0007] For non-limiting example, a plant may start out as a done taken from a parent plant in a production facility. After replanting, it may be moved to a nursery having therein multiple staging areas conducive to the needs of the plant at several stages of its early development. Once it grows to a certain size, it may be moved to a grow room, and may be subsequently moved to lit and unlit flowering rooms. Subsequently, or at various points in its lifecycle, it may be moved again for pruning, trimming, and training purposes. Finally, it may be moved to another location for harvesting and packaging. At each point in its lifecycle, each facility in which the plant resides is provided with automated picture and/or video recording equipment. The automated picture and/or video recording equipment is able to identify the plant using the barcode, QR code, and/or RFID identifier, for non-limiting example. The automated picture and/or video recording equipment then takes individual pictures and/or videos of that plant, sorts them from pictures and/or videos of other plants, and stores them to a database. Alternatively, the automated picture and/or video recording equipment takes collective pictures and/or videos, from which pictures and/or videos of the individual plant are automatically cropped or excerpted, separated, and stored.
[0008] Storage of the pictures and/or videos in the database may be performed in such a way as to facilitate later search and/or compilation of the results. Specifically, the automated picture and/or video recording equipment may assign each Saved file containing pictures and/or videos, or excerpts thereof, a file name that provides information about the contents thereof. For non-limiting example, the file name may contain a subject identity number, a date, a time, a camera identifier, a position, and/or a stage of production, growth, or development When the consumable product is packaged, the system and method for Plant or Animal Life Cyde Documentation and Playback on Demand includes placing another identifier, such as another barcode, QR code, and/or RFID chip, on or! with the packaging. This identifier may be associated with or he the same as the first barcode, QR code, and/or RFID chip, and/or with the subject identity number. In any case, the identifier on the packaging is correlated with the pictorial and/or video record stored in association with the original plant, animal, or other subject from which it was produced, for non-limiting example using the subject identity number.
[0009] The purchasing consumer Is then able, by way of the system and method for Plant or
Animal life Cycle Documentation and Playback on Demand, to read the packaging identifier using a smart phone, tablet, computer, or other device, and is automatically connected to and able to view the pictorial Of video record of the orginal plant, animal, or other subject; This may require use of a program or application created for this purpose, and/or may require installation of additional hardware and/or software. It is noted that advertising of various kinds or other content may be shown before, during, or after the pictorial record or video, in order to enhance the user the experience. Furthermore, the system and method for Plant or Animal life Cyde Documentation and Playback on Demand may also involve tracking participation by users and may correlate additional data concerning the consumers, sales and marketing, and the pictorial and/or video record of the original plant, animal, or other subject. It is noted that the pictorial and/or video record of the original plant, animal, or other subject may be made available to the consumer after or even before the point of purchase. In this way, consumer preferences regarding the production, growing, and/or raising process and/or conditions may be subsequently determined.
[0010] According to one embodiment of the system and method for Plant or Animal Life Cyde Documentation and Playback on Demand, a system is provided for recording and playing back pictures and/or videos of the growth, raising, or production of consumables. At least one picture taking and/or video recording device is configured to take pictures and/or videos of an individual plant, animal, or other subject. A computer program or database is configured to store the pictures and/or videos of the individual plant, animal, or other subject. A consumable identifier is affixed to a consumable and/or to a package containing the consumable produced from the individual plant, animal, of other subject. A program or application runs on a device and is configured to read the consumable identifier. The computer program or database, and the program or application running on the device, cooperate to correlate the consumable with the pictures and/or videos of the Individual plant, animal, or other subject by way of the consumable identifier, and then displays the pictures and/or videos of the individual plant, animal, or other subject.
[0011] According to another embodiment of the system and method for Plant or Animal Life
Cyde Documentation and Playback on Demand, a consumable is grown, raised, or produced using a system for recording and playing back pictures and/or videos of its growth, raising, or production. A consumable identifier is affixed to the consumable and/or to a package containing the consumable produced from an Individual plant, animal, or other subject. The consumable Identifier is readable by a program or application running on a device. The program or application running on the device cooperates with a computer program or database to correlate the consumable with the Individual plant, animal, or other subject by way of the consumable identifier, and then displays pictures and/or videos of the individual plant, animal, or other subject taken by a picture taking and/or video recording device and stored in the computer program of database.
[0012] According to another embodiment of the system and method for Plant or Animal Life
Cycle Documentation and Playback on Demand, a method for recording and playing back pictures and/orvideos of the growth, raising, or production of consumables includes several steps. The first step is configuring a picture taking and/or video recording device to take pictures and/or videos of an individual plant, animal, or other subject. The second step is configuring a computer program or database to store the pictures and/or videos of the individual plant, animal, or other subject. The third step is affixing a consumable identifier to a consumable and/or to a package containing the consumable produced from the individual plant, animal, or other subject. The fourth step is configuring a program or application running on a device to read the consumable identifier. The fifth step is configuring the computer program or database, and the program or application running on the device, to cooperate to correlate the consumable with the individual plant, animal, or other subject by way of the consumable identifier. The sixth step is displaying the pictures or videos of the individual plant, animal, or other subject.
