BIRD IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A flora and fauna identification apparatus, comprising:
- a flora and fauna database having a plurality of records, each record having a color representation of a particular flora or fauna, along with a plurality of fields of identification criterion including physical topography and coloration of selected regions of the physical topography;
a user interface;
a processor that selects records that are possible matches from the database based upon input of identification criterion by a user through the user interface;
the user interface having;
a physical topography selector from which the user selects, from a plurality of possible physical topographies, a selected physical topography most closely resembling a flora or fauna to be identified, the processor determining the records in the database that are possible matches based upon the selected physical topography; and
a pallet of colors, from which the user sequentially selects colors and places the colors on selected regions of the selected physical topography, the processor determining the records in the database that are possible flora or fauna matches as each color is added and placed on the selected region of the physical topography template.

Abstract
A flora and fauna identification apparatus includes a flora and fauna database that has a plurality of records. Each record has a color representation of a particular flora or fauna, along with a plurality of fields of identification criterion including physical topography and coloration of selected regions of the physical topography. A processor that selects records that are possible matches from the database based upon input of identification criterion by a user through a user interface. The user interface has a physical topography selector from which the user selects, a selected physical topography most closely resembling a flora or fauna to be identified. There is also provided a pallet of colors, from which the user sequentially selects colors and places the colors on selected regions of the selected physical topography. The processor determines at each step the records in the database that are possible flora or fauna matches.

12. A method of identifying flora and fauna comprising:
-
providing a flora and fauna database having a plurality of records, each record having a plurality of fields of identification criterion including physical topography and coloration of selected regions of the physical topography; providing a user interface; providing a processor that selects records that are possible matches from the database based upon input of identification criterion by a user through the user interface; using the user interface; selecting a physical topography from a plurality of possible physical topographies, the selected physical topography most closely resembling a flora or fauna to be identified, having the processor determine the records in the database that are possible matches based upon the selected physical topography; and selecting a color from a pallet of colors placing the color on a selected region of the selected physical topography, having the processor determine the records in the database that are possible flora or fauna matches as each color is added and placed on the selected region of the physical topography template. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
