  • Patent number: 12710551
    Abstract: An animal tracking system is provided which include various features that are enabled using satellite-based positioning systems, but further are enabled by fine accuracy position detection, such as may be made available through use of realtime kinematic (RTK) positioning or post-processing kinematic (PPK) positioning technologies. These include, for example, various usage techniques in terms of set up and use of virtual boundaries to define containment areas and or exclusion zones, and to both see historical animal positioning within a containment zone and determine likely animal behaviors based on such positioning. Additionally, fine-grained indoor location via radio frequency technologies, switchover among locating technologies, and power management techniques are described, as well as uses thereof.
