摘要:
A communications device (101) transmits measurement result information (110) indicative of the step count of a livestock animal (A) to a relay device (102) located in a communications area (103). The relay device (102) receives the measurement result information (110) from the communications device (101) and transmits the measurement result information (110) to an estrus notifying apparatus (104). The estrus notifying apparatus (104) stores the communications devices (101) equipped to respective livestock animals making up a herd and GPS communications device (107) equipped to any of the livestock animals making up the herd in a correlated manner for each herd. If it is determined that the measurement result information (110) received from the relay device (102) satisfies a given condition, the estrus notifying apparatus (104) searches for the GPS communications device (107) correlated with the communications device (101). The estrus notifying apparatus (104) transmits activation instruction information (130) to the GPS communications device (107). The GPS communications device (107) receives the activation instruction information (130) and turns on a power source.
摘要:
A method performed by a computer (200), the method includes obtaining a plurality of images each of which includes a plurality of animals (5a,5b,5c), the plurality of animals being attached with a plurality of attachment objects (6a,6b,6c) respectively, the attachment objects having respective different colors, using at least one image among the plurality of images, detecting the colors of the plurality of attachment objects respectively, using the plurality of images, detecting movements of the plurality of respective attachment objects, based on the colors of the plurality of attachment objects, and in accordance with the respective movements of the plurality of attachment objects, determining respective activity quantities of the plurality of animals.
摘要:
A vegetation assessing apparatus (101) obtains step count measurement results obtained by a step measuring device (102) attached to a livestock animal (A) pastured in a pasture (H). The vegetation assessing apparatus (101) assesses whether a state of vegetation of the pasture (H) is a state suitable for pasturing, based on temporal change of the step count measurements obtained by the step measuring device (102). The vegetation assessing apparatus (101) transmits an obtained assessment result to a portable communications terminal (103) used by a livestock raiser.
摘要:
On a farm (F), livestock animals (A) are pastured and to each livestock animal (A), a communications device (101) that measures the step count of the livestock animal (A) is attached. An estrus notifying apparatus (103) receives, via relay devices (102) installed on the farm (F), measurement result information indicating the step counts of the livestock animals (A) from the communications devices (101). The estrus notifying apparatus (103) determines from measurement results of the step counts of the livestock animals (A) from the communications devices (101), whether the livestock animals (A) indicate estrus. If a livestock animal (A) is determined as indicating estrus, the estrus notifying apparatus (103) determines whether another livestock animal (A) that is in estrus is near the livestock animal (A). If no other livestock animal (A) in estrus is present, the estrus notifying apparatus (103) determines the livestock animal (A) to be a livestock animal indicating estrus and transmits identification information of the livestock animal (A) to a client apparatus (104).
摘要:
A setting apparatus (104) acquires a communications device ID that is for a communications device (101) attached to a livestock animal (A) and transmitted from a relay device (102). The setting apparatus (104) determines whether another communications device ID located in the same communication area (103a) as an object communications device (101) defined as an object of group setting is registered in a group. The setting apparatus (104) determines whether another relay device (102b) is present whose distance from the relay device (102) forming a communication area (103a) in which the object communications device (101) is located, is less than or equal to a predetermined value. If the other communications device ID located in the same communication area (103a) is not registered in a group and the other relay device (102b) is not present, the setting apparatus (104) adds a new group name to the communications device ID of the object communications device (101) and registers the communications device ID of the object communications device (101) into a corresponding group.
