Abstract
An animal wellness notification system includes an attachment body configured to securely engage with an ear of the animal; an elongated temperature probe secured to the attachment body and configured to extend within the ear of the animal; a housing secured to the attachment body; a computer disposed within the housing and operably associated with the temperature probe; and a notification device in data communication with the computer, the notification device being configured to provide notice if a temperature of the animal goes beyond a determined threshold.
Claims20
An animal wellness notification system, comprising:
- an attachment body configured to securely engage with an ear of the animal;
- a temperature monitor;
- a housing secured to the attachment body;
- a computer disposed within the housing;
- and
- a notification device in data communication with the computer, wherein the notification device is configured to provide notice,
- wherein the computer is configured to:
- receive a selection of a temperature threshold along with a time duration;
- record an animal's temperature for the selected time duration;
- determine whether the animal's temperature remains above the temperature threshold for the time duration;
- and
- cause the notification device to provide the notice, after the time duration, if the animal's temperature exceeds the temperature threshold for the time duration.
An animal wellness notification system, comprising:
- a temperature monitor configured to generate temperature data;
- and
- a notification device, wherein the animal wellness notification system is configured to:
- receive a selection of a temperature threshold along with a time duration;
- record an animal's temperature for the selected time duration;
- determine whether the animal's temperature remains above the temperature threshold for the time duration;
- and
- cause the notification device to provide notice, after the time duration, if the temperature data indicates that the animal's temperature exceeds the temperature threshold for the time duration.
A method of using an animal wellness notification system to determine the wellness of an animal, comprising:
- attaching an animal wellness notification system component to the ear of an animal, wherein the animal wellness notification system component comprises a temperature monitor;
- selecting, via a computer associated with the animal wellness notification system, a temperature threshold along with a time duration, wherein the computer is configured to:
- record animal's temperature for the selected time duration;
- determine whether the animal's temperature remains above the temperature threshold for the selected time duration;
- and
- cause a notification device associated with the animal wellness notification system to provide notice, after the time duration, if temperature data from the temperature monitor indicates that the animal's temperature exceeds the selected temperature threshold for the selected time duration.
