Abstract: A system for the surveillance of animals includes identification and measuring elements attached to the animals, as well as at least one local level information system (115), wirelessly connected to the identification and measuring elements of a certain group of animals for saving animal-specific measuring results into the information network. Aiming to provide a new kind of a surveillance system for domestic husbandry that enables different interest groups to monitor the kind of a group of animals they wish, the system includes at least one higher level information system, connected to the chosen local level system through a communications network for the reception of animal-specific measuring results from at the minimum one local system, and at least one software application using the data gathered in the higher level system to produce information about the animals to at the minimum one higher level information system by processing the collected data.

Abstract: The invention relates to an information distribution system, especially to an audio information distribution system including one or more local systems, each being intended for personal use or for the use of a small group. In order for the system to be adapted as well as possible to the current state of the user, the user is connected as a part of the system so that his or her current state affects the way information is supplied to him/her. Thus, the user is part of the system and part of the control circuit which affects the information flow. The state of the user is evaluated by measuring at least one somatic phenomenon from him/her, and the content of the information and/or presentation parameters are changed on the basis of the measurements.
