Abstract

A system is provided for managing information in relation to a pet animal carrying subcutaneous electronic identification device, said system including: A reader, which reads a piece of identification information contained in the electronic identification device; at least one scale, which measures at least one physical datum associated with the animal; a device for storing and/or transmitting the at least one physical datum, while taking the identification information into account. The reader is built into the scale.

Claims

1. A system for managing information in relation to at least one pet animal carrying subcutaneous electronic identification means, said system comprising:

means for reading a piece of identification information contained in said electronic identification means;

means for measuring at least one physical datum associated with said animal;

means for storing and/or transmitting said at least one physical datum, while taking said identification information into account,

wherein said means for measuring include at least one scale and said means for reading are built into said scale.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said means for reading include at least one antenna which is mobile around an axis of said scale.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for reading are built into a removable reader.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system includes means for associating a date with said at least one physical datum.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system includes at least one processor, thereby allowing said at least one physical datum to be linked with said identification information.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein said processor delivers a piece of comparison information between at least one previously measured physical datum and one current physical datum, associated with said animal.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein said processor delivers at least one recommendation as a function of an analysis of said comparison information.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system includes at least one loud-speaker.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the system includes means for displaying and/or inputting information linked with said animal.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein said means for displaying and/or inputting include at least one element belonging to the group that includes:

a display screen;

a touch screen;

a programming keypad.

11. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said storage and/or transmission means engage with at least one connection thereby allowing at least said physical datum to be transferred to an external unit.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11, wherein said at least one connection belongs to the group that includes:

a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection;

a serial connection;

an Ethernet connection;

a Bluetooth (trademark) connection;

a Wi-Fi connection.

13. A system for managing information in relation to at least one pet animal carrying subcutaneous electronic identification device, said system comprising:

at least one scale, which measures at least one physical datum associated with said animal;

reader built into said scale and adapted to read a piece of identification information contained in said electronic identification device;

a device, which stores and/or transmits said at least one physical datum, while taking said identification information into account.
