Abstract
An example plant monitoring system can include sensors connected to a horticultural monitor. The sensors can measure the soil, the environment, individual plant characteristics, etc. At least one horticultural monitor can send sensor data to a local beacon. The local beacon can then receive the data and send it to cloud resources which can process the data. The cloud resources can determine the health of the plant and monitor its development. A user can track this health and development using an interaction device.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- capturing data for a monitored plant via one or more sensors;
- comparing, via a processor, the data for the monitored plant with data associated with other plants of a same species as the monitored plant and at one or more plant life stages to yield a comparison;
- and
- determining, based on the comparison and via a life stage determination algorithm, a one of the plant life stages associated with the monitored plant.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a processing system comprising at least one processor and a computer-readable medium;
- and
- one or more horticultural monitors communicatively coupled to the processing system, each of the horticultural monitors comprising one or more sensors for monitoring at least one plant and configured for recording data from the sensors and transmitting the data to the processing system,
- wherein the computer-readable medium comprises instructions for causing the at least one processor to perform steps comprising:
- obtaining the data for the monitored plant;
- comparing the data for the monitored plant with data associated with other plants of a same species as the monitored plant and at one or more plant life stages to yield a comparison;
- and
- determining, based on the comparison and via a life stage determination algorithm, a one of the plant life stages associated with the monitored plant.
