METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING FORESTRY PRODUCTS
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring forest products, comprising the steps of:
- arranging at least an active communication device at a forest product;
making an evaluation to determine the status of the forest product basing on signals emitted from the active communication device; and
performing a management process while the status of the forest product is evaluated to be abnormal.

Abstract
A method and system for monitoring forestry products are provided in the present invention, wherein at least one active communicating device is disposed on a forestry product, and reading and transmitting devices are also disposed in specific locations for building a monitoring and management mechanism to protect the forestry products from stealing. By means the method and system of the present invention, it is capable of providing real-time monitoring information and collecting evidence of illegal actions immediately so that the management staff can control the situation and status of the forestry products, which is useful for improving the efficiency of forestry management. Meanwhile, the present invention may also help to find those lawless persons who steal and fell illegally the forestry resources so as to ensure the safety of working environment for forest managing staff and sustainable management of forest and natural resources.

13. A system for monitoring forest products, comprising:
-
at least an active communication device, being arranged at a forest product for detecting and registering data relating to the status of the forest product and thus emitting a signal in associate with the detected status of the forest product; and at least an access device, each being disposed at a specific location; wherein each of the at least one access device is able to access the signal emitted from the at least one active communication device while the at least one active communication device is within a detection range of the referring access device and thus is enabled to issue a data signal accordingly. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for monitoring forest products, comprising:
-
at least an active communication device, being arranged at a forest product, further comprising; at least a sensor, for detecting status of the forest product and thus generating a sensing signal accordingly; and an active radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, coupled to the at least one sensor for enabling the same to register data relating to the status of the forest product and to receive the sensing signal so as to issue a signal corresponding thereto; at least an access device, each being disposed at a specific location for accessing the signal emitted from the at least one active communication device while the at least one active communication device is within a detection range of the referring access device and thus being enabled to issue a data signal accordingly; and at least a portable communication apparatus, for receiving the data signal. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
