System for Detecting Information Regarding an Animal and Communicating the Information to a Remote Location
First Claim
1. An animal data communication system for detecting and compiling animal data and for communicating the animal data to a remote location, where the animal data is perceived by a user of said animal data communication system, said animal data communication system comprising:
- a housing adapted to be carried by the animal;
at least one detector disposed within said housing, said at least one detector detects at least a physiological condition of the animal or an action engaged in by the animal, said at least one detector generates an electrical signal indicative of the detected physiological condition or action;
a processing device disposed within said housing, said processing device in electrical communication with said at least one detector, said processing device receives the electrical signal generated by said at least one detector, said processing device processes the received electrical signal to generate animal data, said processing device compiles the animal data;
a transmitter disposed within said housing, said transmitter in electrical communication with said processing device, said transmitter receives the animal data from said processing device, said transmitter transmits the animal data;
a receiver in communication with said transmitter, said receiver receives the animal data from said transmitter; and
a network interface in electrical communication with said receiver, said network interface receives the animal data from said receiver, said network interface being network compatible, said network interface communicating the animal data to the network;
whereby, the user of said animal data communication system accesses the animal data communicated to the network.

Abstract
Described is an animal data communication system for detecting particular conditions and actions of an animal, compiling information indicative of the detected conditions and actions, communicating the information to a remote location, and presenting the information at the remote location. The animal data communication system includes a carried device and an interfacing device. The carried device detects particular conditions and actions of the animal and compiles the corresponding information. The carried device is in communication with the interfacing device and transmits the information to the interfacing device. The interfacing device communicates the information to a network. The user of the animal data communication system accesses the network by way of a display device, which is in communication with the network, and perceives the information. The display device is disposed at a location remote to the animal such that the user can perceive the information at the remote location.
