METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING IN-SEASON CROP STATUS IN AN AGRICULTURAL CROP AND ALERTING USERS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at the computer, data regarding a status of a crop from at least one of a user, a contact of the user, an in-season data gathering source, a database, a data feed, an aerial sensor, a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and a remote sensor via a communication network;
evaluating the received data;
scoring the evaluation;
automatically comparing the scores for the received data to at least one of a benchmark, a parameter, a previously determined crop status, and a baseline associated with the crop;
generating, when the score exceeds a predetermined threshold, an alert; and
providing the alert to a user via the communication network.

Abstract
A crop'"'"'s status may be determined from analysis of information regarding the crop received from, for example, a user, an in-season data gathering source, a database, a data feed, an aerial sensor, a UAV, and/or a remote sensor via a communication network. The received data may be compared to, for example, a benchmark, a parameter, a previously determined crop status, and/or a baseline associated with the crop and the comparison may be scored. When the score exceeds a predetermined threshold, an alert may be generated and provided to a user via the communication network.

24. A computer implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by a crop status analyzer and alert generator, information regarding a status of a crop from at least one of a user, an in-season data gathering source, a database, a data feed, an aerial sensor, a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and a remote sensor via a communication network; automatically creating baseline data for the crop using the received crop status information; receiving, by the crop status analyzer and alert generator, additional information regarding a status of a crop from at least one of the user, the in-season data gathering source, the database, the data feed, the aerial sensor, the UAV, and the remote sensor via the communication network; comparing the additional received data to the created baseline data; scoring, by the crop status analyzer and alert generator, the comparison; generating, when the score exceeds a predetermined threshold, an alert; and providing the alert to a user via the communication network.
