SYSTEM AND PROCEDURE OF ALARM AND VERIFICATION IN REMOTE

FOR ANIMAL TRAFFICKING ARTS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a remote alarm system for animal entrapment arts either in the cinegetic use, in population control, of pests and other animal traps. The invention also relates to the method for operating said system.

The problem to be solved is, on the one hand, the lack of efficiency in the detection of catches with trapping systems. In this sense, it can take hours or even days since the entrapment (or step) of an animal occurs until its detection. On the other hand, the current systems for detection and entrapment are very demanding in operative costs for its revision and maintenance. The invention that is proposed implies an instantaneous and remote warning with the activation of the entrapment system, which supposes a more effective response and a significant reduction of the operative costs.

The existence of wildlife conservation programs such as LIFE or IBERLINCE, and the low selectivity of these entrapment mechanisms, make it imperative that the actuation time be reduced to the minimum expression to avoid irreversible damage to undesired targets, this being another problem to be solved by the present invention.

The remote alarm system of animal trapping arts of this invention is applicable to various hunting arts, including fishing, big game, minor and pest control. For its operation it requires a 2G / 3G connection, through a telephone company, and a cloud management server, assignment to the client and final notice to it on your mobile device.

It comes to solve the problem of the constant and necessary personal visit of the arts of entrapment, one by one, to know their status. When an animal falls into a trap and activates its mechanism, it sends a signal to the device, which warns via web or mobile the interested party or owner of the art of entrapment.

The advantages of this invention are the following:

- Saving of time and expense derived from the periodic review of traps in person.

- Possibility of knowing in real time the state of the trapping arts.

- Systematic registry of entrapments for the confection of reports and statistical studies.

Its industrial application is in the manufacture and installation of alarms in animal entrapment gear.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no invention identical to that described has been found, we expose below the documents found that reflect the state of the technique related to it.

Thus document ES2564811T3 refers to a rat trap comprising - a power source; - means to kill a rat; - a first sensor adapted to detect the presence of a rat in the space within the range of the means to kill a rat; - control means capable of receiving a serial from e! first sensor, and which are adapted to activate the means to kill a rat when the sensor detects the presence of the rat; - an automatic mechanism adapted to remove the dead rat from the rat trap, which further comprises a second sensor for detecting light, and in which the control means are capable of receiving a serial from the second sensor and which they are adapted to deactivate the means for killing a rat or the first sensor for at least a period of time after the detection of light by the second sensor.

Compared to the proposed invention, the comparison is a trap mechanism, not a remote alarm. In addition, it is specific for rodents and does not warn the user of entrapment neither telematically nor in person. It is a invention that gives death to the prey, not being applicable to certain sectors like e! cinegetico, which must be sacrificed by a physical person after being trapped for selectivity reasons.

ES2228349T3 proposes a method to determine the presence of prey in traps used to capture vermin, such as rodents of small size, which foresees the steps of: - automatic detection of the presence of said prey in said traps; - light and / or sound and / or remote means to indicate that at least one dam has been captured, wherein said stage of light and / or acoustic and / or remote indication is carried out with a predetermined delay time with respect to to said stage of determination of the presence of said dams.

In this case the device is not applicable for large dams due to the design, that is, it is not scalable by the nature and instinct of the dams. In addition, a trap is claimed, not an alarm device and only small dams are alluded to. In the proposed invention there is no delay time alluded to in the comparison, being the instantaneous proposal, in addition to being a communication device of notices for any prey and not a trap in a tilting way that does not notify the interested party, but rather It is the interested party who must approach the trap.

Document ES2064113T3 describes an electromechanical device for the continuous capture of harmful animals, especially rats and mice, consisting of two overlapping sections, a lower vessel and an upper section, the latter being divided into compartments that house the capture mechanism and the bait that attracts the animals, in addition to another compartment whose floor consists of rotating capture areas and whose purpose is to ensure that the animal, once it has entered the device to reach the bait, falls into the lower container separated from the upper section by the above-mentioned rotating catch zones, in which the animal is permanently trapped: each of the rotating catch areas is provided, towards the entrance door, with a hinged segment movable upwards whose purpose is to prevent parts of the body of the animal can hinder the rotation of the capture zone during the animal's release and the put in position of the next capture zone. Unlike the proposed invention, the comparative invention consists of a trapping art and not a warning device for said trapping arts.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found resolves the problems posed as the proposed invention does, since it provides a remote alarm in real time based on a wireless sensor that can be mounted as a single element or extend in series.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The remote alarm device for entrapment arts object of the present invention is constituted from at least one magnetic sensor encapsulated in a fixed recessed sealed box, consisting of a switch that closes or opens the circuit, which is detected by the alarm device, finding a magnet attached to one of the moving parts of the entrapment art by means of a wire or cable, in such a way that when being activated the magnet separates from the magnetic sensor and the opening of the circuit occurs. detection, the function of the metal element being to keep the magnet linked to the sensor.

In the case of several entrapment arts, the various sensors are connected in series, in parallel or in a mixture of the two sensors via a conductor cable, and in this way, any activation is communicated to the warning device.

The device includes a button to perform certain basic functions such as rearming after entrapment, knowledge through a sound device to close the detection circuits or knowledge of the time that the device has registered on its clock in real time.

A camera takes a snapshot of the trap to know the trapped target.

The system counts in turn with a 2G / 3G connection (through a telephone company) and a cloud service of device management for the assignment to the client and final notice to it in their mobile device.

In cases where 2G / 3G communication is not available, a radio frequency signal concentration solution is proposed to a point with available coverage. In this way, detection devices are placed with their corresponding sensors equipped with a radio frequency communication system. Within the radius of action of this, there is a master device where the requests of the different devices are concentrated to be sent finally via 2G / 3G to the server and proceed as above.

The system is provided with a web interface, which analyzes the captures and generates reports of entrapments, useful when analyzing the cinegetic movements. It also has an exact tool for Smartphone from which you can know the status of all devices associated with an account, as well as its geographical position.

To avoid the problems of breaks or malfunctions the devices have a real-time clock. Through this the electronic alarm device emits a serial once a day with its status and warning of its correct operation, as well as its battery level.

The kinetic control and alarm procedure object of the present invention is developed according to the following phases:

a) The alarm devices are registered in the WEB platform, being these linked to your client by means of their serial number. On the other hand, once the trap is set in the field, the GPS position will be taken through a Smartphone application which will be sent to the server. This APP will register on a server the position of the device next to its serial number and physical person.

b) Once the trap is activated, modified or disabled by a dam regardless of the final result, the device, detects said actuation by sending an alarm signal to the central server via SMS.

c) In the case of a model equipped with a camera, it will be activated by the alarm system and sent to the server via 2G / 3G, where it can be viewed by the interested party.

d) Once the SMS enters the messaging server of the system, it is interpreted by the system, obtaining all the information related to the trapping, such as property, geographical situation, etc.

e) Once this task is completed, the computation service will communicate to the owner through the method previously agreed with the system the trapping and its geographical situation.

f) The device is provided with a real-time clock (RTC), which repeatedly sends a serial with information related to its battery status and status of its sensors at a predetermined time to a server to a WEB server or to another device intermediary than what he does for him.

g) The server processes said information with which it controls the battery charge status (sending a notice if necessary) and the correct functioning of the devices, so that the maximum period of time a dam can be controlled can be controlled. get caught, even if the alarm device does not work properly.
