Abstract:
1. A micro-tracking device for recording a travel path of animals, comprising: a casing module having a fastening device fastened on a concave ring portion of a flight animal between a body and a tail of the flight animal; a GPS module disposed in the casing module, the GPS module having an antenna for receiving position, speed and time information of the animal; an MPU (Micro Process Unit) module disposed in the casing module and being electrically connected to the GPS module for establishing action track parameters at a periodic interval, the action track parameters including a current location, a current height, a current speed and a current time; a memory module disposed in the casing module and electrically connected to at least the MPU module for storing a plurality of sequentially established action track parameters and the periodic interval, the plurality of sequentially established action track parameters defining the travel path of the animal; an interface module disposed in the casing module and electrically connected to the MPU for selectively communicating the plurality of sequentially established action track parameters to an external storage device, the interface module being disposed in the casing module and electrically connected to at least the memory module; and a power supply module disposed in the casing module and electrically connected to at least the MPU module for supplying power thereto; wherein the weight of the micro-tracking device is between 1 and 10 grams.
