System for analyzing a condition of an animal

A system for analyzing a condition of an animal, wherein the system includes at least an identification unit which is arranged to be worn by an animal, wherein the identification unit includes a first transmitter unit, a movement sensor, and a control unit which is communicatively connected with the transmitter unit and the movement sensor, wherein the system further includes a receiver unit and a computer which is connected with the receiver unit and wherein the system further includes positioning means for measuring a position of the identification unit, wherein the movement sensor is different from the positioning means, and wherein the control unit is arranged for, in use, at least one of storing and processing electronic information of movements of the animal which have been obtained with the movement sensor, wherein the receiver unit feeds the received electronic information about at least one of the detected movements and an identification code to the computer, wherein the system is further arranged to feed positions of the identification unit measured with the aid of the positioning means to the computer or the control unit,

• wherein the system has one of the following four arrangements:
• (1) the computer is arranged to process the electronic information about detected movements and electronic information about the measured positions in combination for analyzing the condition of the animal, wherein the computer is provided with a plurality of filters to process the electronic information about at least one of the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements, wherein the computer is arranged to select on the basis of at least one of the electronic information about the detected movements and the electronic information about the measured positions the predetermined filter from the plurality of filters with which at least one of the electronic information about the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements is processed;
• or
• (2) the computer is arranged to process the electronic information about detected movements and electronic information about the measured positions in combination for analyzing the condition of the animal, wherein the computer is provided with a plurality of algorithms to process at least one of the electronic information about the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements, wherein the computer is arranged to select on the basis of at least one of the electronic information about the detected movements and the electronic information about the measured positions the predetermined algorithm from the plurality of algorithms with which the electronic information about at least one of the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements is processed;
• or
• (3) the control unit is arranged to process the electronic information about detected movements and electronic information about the measured positions in combination for analyzing the condition of the animal, wherein the control unit is provided with a plurality of filters to process at least one of the electronic information about the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements, wherein the control unit is arranged to select on the basis of at least one of the electronic information about the detected movements and the electronic information about the measured positions the predetermined filter from the plurality of filters with which the electronic information about at least one of the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements is processed;
• or
• (4) the control unit is arranged to process the electronic information about detected movements and electronic information about the measured positions in combination for analyzing the condition of the animal, wherein the control unit is provided with a plurality of algorithms to process at least one of the electronic information about the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements, wherein the control unit is arranged to select on the basis of at least one of the electronic information about the detected movements and the electronic information about the measured positions the predetermined algorithm from the plurality of algorithms with which the electronic information about at least one of the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements is processed, and
• wherein for processing both of the electronic information about detected movements obtained from the movement sensor and the electronic information about the measured positions obtained from the positioning means in combination, the computer or the control unit is arranged to apply a filter or algorithm to process at least a first one of the electronic information about the measured positions and electronic information about the detected movements, and, depending on an outcome of the filter or algorithm,
• the computer or the control unit is further arranged to process at least a second one of the electronic information about the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements to recognize mutually different conditions of the animal, wherein the second one of the electronic information about the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements is different from the first one of the electronic information about the measured positions and the electronic information about the detected movements.
