  • Publication number: 20250318504
    Abstract: A solar-powered Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) chip device for tracking and monitoring animals and assets is disclosed that allows an individual to track an animal or object. The device is designed as an ultra-low power and lightweight tag that runs only when needed. To do so, the device includes an electronic ear tag, a cellular communication module, a camera module, an electronic stethoscope, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) scannable chip, and a two-way audio communication system. The electronic ear tag corresponds to the main structure of the device that supports the operation of the electrical and electronic components. The cellular communication module enables the device to connect to a cellular network through which the necessary data is being transmitted. The camera module, the electronic stethoscope, the RFID scannable chip, and the two-way audio communication system facilitate the remote monitoring of the target animal wearing the device.

  • Patent number: 11503802
    Abstract: An electronic ear tag allows an individual to track a herd animal. Further, the electronic ear tag is an ultra-low power, and lightweight tag that runs only when needed. The electronic ear tag includes a substrate, a microcontroller, a rechargeable battery, a wireless communication module, a global positioning system (GPS) module, and a solar panel. The substrate is a circuit board used to support the electronic components of the present invention. The microcontroller is used to manage and control the electronic components of the electronic ear tag. The rechargeable battery is the main power source of the electronic ear tag. The wireless communication module allows the electronic ear tag to communicate with a central network. The GPS module allows the electronic ear tag to communicate with a GPS satellite. The solar panel converts solar energy into electrical energy used to charge the rechargeable battery.

  • Publication number: 20210185978
    Abstract: A method of implementing a lightweight, electronic ear tag allows for location tracking and geo-fencing tasks of a herd animal. A location-tracking device tracks spatial-positioning data of electronic ear tag. A communication node relays the spatial-positioning data to at least one remote server hosting an owner account that allows the owner to interact with the electronic ear tag. Accordingly, the spatial-positioning data is relayed from a low-power transceiver to a low-power gateway, if the electronic ear tag is in communication with the communication node. If the electronic ear tag is not in communication with the communication node, the spatial-positioning data is archived and store locally in the electronic ear tag. A high-power gateway provided at the communication node relays the spatial-positioning data to the remote server. Accordingly, the remote server generates a graphical representation of the spatial-positioning data, which is finally displayed on a personal computing device of the owner.
