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.

Abstract: A system and apparatus to track and control an animal is described, including a tracking unit to track the animal, and a stimulus unit to provide a stimulus to the animal, wherein the tracking unit and stimulus unit are configured to be coupled together. The stimulus unit is entirely a slave device to the tracking unit and has no independent smart circuitry, no independent power supply and no antennae. Accordingly, the stimulation unit is dependent upon the tracking unit for operation, power and for communication to and from a remote hand held control device.
