Abstract:
An electronic monitoring device for attaching to an animal includes an NFC module facilitating wireless communication between a smart phone and the monitoring device, an accelerometer for monitoring acceleration of the head of the animal, and a microprocessor which determines various states of the animal from signals received from the accelerometer. The smart phone is programmed by a software application which allows an identifying code of the monitoring device to be read from the memory chip and cross-referenced in the smart phone with the identity of an animal, which can be inputted into the smart phone. Data relating to the states(s) of the animal can be read from the microprocessor through the NFC module into the smart phone. Additionally, data relating to the animal stored in a cloud server corresponding to the state or states of the animal is downloaded from the cloud server by the smart phone.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for communicating with an electronic memory of an electronic device locatable externally on or internally in an animal, the electronic memory having an identifying code identifying the electronic device stored therein, the method comprising:\n locating a low energy wireless NFC (near field communications) communications module on the electronic device configured to wirelessly communicate an external powered smart mobile device with the electronic memory, configuring the external powered smart mobile device to wirelessly communicate with the electronic device through the low energy NFC communications module in an NFC protocol, and to wirelessly communicate with a remote computer, bringing the external powered smart mobile device into close proximity with the electronic device, initiating wireless communication between the external powered smart mobile device and the electronic device through the low energy NFC communications module in the NFC protocol by the external powered smart mobile device, wirelessly reading the identifying code identifying the electronic device from the electronic memory of the electronic device by the external powered smart mobile device through the low energy NFC communications module in the NFC protocol, if an identifying code identifying the animal on or in which the electronic device is attached is not stored and cross-referenced with the read identifying code identifying the device in the external powered smart mobile device, entering the identifying code identifying the animal on or in which the electronic device is located into the external powered smart mobile device, and storing and cross-referencing the entered identifying code identifying the animal, on or in which the electronic device is located, with the read identifying code identifying the electronic device in the external powered smart mobile device.
