Patent Application
20070290866
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, in which:
Referring to
Each tracing and transmitting device 1 is fastened on any position of the flight animal F (however, a concave ring portion C between a body B and a tail T of the flight animal F is especially suitable). Moreover, each tracing and transmitting device 1 has a weight of between 1 and 10 grams for reducing the drag upon the flight animal F (this is especially important if the flight animal is involved in a race, such as a pigeon race).
Furthermore, each tracing and transmitting device 1 has a GPS module 11 and a real-time tracing and transmitting module 12. The GPS module 11 is used to receive real-time flight information A of the flight animal F and the real-time tracing and transmitting module 12 is used to transmit the real-time flight information A regarding the flight animal F from the GPS module 11 to a base station S.
Moreover, the flight information-analyzing device 2 has a real-time flight information-analyzing module 21 and a real-time flight information display module 22. The real-time flight information-analyzing module 21 is used to immediately receive the real-time flight information A from each tracing and transmitting device 1 through the base station S and analyzes the real-time flight information A to obtain flight information-analyzing data D. The real-time flight information display module 22 is used to immediately display both the real-time flight information A and the flight information-analyzing data D from each flight animal F.
In addition, the real-time flight information A comprises: real-time location information, real-time height information and a real-time flight velocity. The real-time flight information A can further include the physical and mental state of the flight animal F as well. Moreover, the flight information-analyzing data D comprises information regarding how far each flight animal F still is to its destination.
Referring to
Furthermore, the method comprises: immediately receiving the real-time flight information A from each tracing and transmitting device 1 through the base station S via a real-time flight information-analyzing module 21 of a flight information-analyzing device 2; analyzing the real-time flight information A to obtain flight information-analyzing data D (S106); immediately displaying both the real-time flight information A and the flight information-analyzing data D regarding each flight animal F via a real-time flight information display module 22 of the flight information-analyzing device 2 (S108).
In conclusion, the tracing and transmitting device 1 has a weight between 1 and 10 grams and can be fastened on any part of the flight animal (however, the best position is the concave ring portion C between the body B and the tail T of the flight animal), for capturing real-time flight information A (such as real-time location information, real-time height information, a real-time flight velocity and the physical and mental state of the flight animal) regarding the flight animal F by using GPS 11.
Moreover, the real-time flight information A is transmitted via a base station S to a flight information-analyzing device 2 and is analyzed via the flight information-analyzing device 2 to obtain flight information-analyzing data D. Hence, the present invention can immediately display both the real-time flight information A and the flight information-analyzing data D regarding each flight animal for reference via the flight information-analyzing device 2. For example, in a pigeon race, breeders can obtain any real-time flight information that they desire regarding each flight animal.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred best molds thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
