Forest Boundary Alert System for Animal Using RFID Collar System

Abstract

An electronic containment system using positional satellites is provided for controlling
the movement of animals relative to a selected confinement area. A portable programming
transceiver is used to program the boundary of a selected confinement area as the device is moved
along such boundary. A programmable collar transceiver worn by the animal provides GPS
signals from the satellite to a remotely located control station. The control station tracks the
movement of the animal relative to the boundary. If the animal crosses the boundary, the station
transmits a stimulus activation signal to the collar so that a corrective stimulus may be produced
for the animal. Tracking and containment of objects are accomplished by providing GPS-defined,
user-programmable containment areas.
