PATENT GRANT No.2021103499
GRANTED DATE: 04/08/2021

Abstract:  The present invention discloses an automated plantation health monitoring
system and a method thereof. The system is a cloud computing-based centralized server
platform that includes a plurality of various interfaces, devices, units, and sensors, one or
more processors processing the data retrieved from the devices, the units, and the sensors,
communicating with each other remotely. The devices and the units may include LED trap
units, rainproof covers, image-capturing units, memory, communication, animal or pest
capturing, and weather prediction. The sensors may include sensors associated with detecting
physiological parameters associated with the health of the plantation.

CLAIMS :
THE CLAIMS DEFINING THE INVENTION ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1.  An automated plantation health monitoring system comprising: a plurality of plantations;
   a non-volatile memory having a repository of physiological parameters associated with the
   plantation; an image capturing unit for capturing images of the plantation;
   a plurality of trap lamps equipped with rainproof covers, and animal pests capturing unit
   defined below the trap lamps; at least one microprocessor processing the data retrieved
   from the image-capturing unit, the trap lamps, and the server for comparison with of the
   data stored in the memory; a warning unit generating signals for the first symptom of pests and
   diseases appearing on the plantation, and the animal pests captured in the trap lamps; a
   cloud computing centralized server including one or more microprocessors located remotely
   in an area of the plantation and the trap lamps; and
   a display unit.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the system further comprises a weather prediction
   the sensor in communication with the rainproof covers to actuate in response to the prediction of
   rain, and hail.
3.  The system of claim 1, wherein the system further comprises a plurality of sensors to
   sense physiological changes instantly and report to the warning system.
4.  The system of claim 1, wherein instant live updates are displayed on the display system.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the system comprises a communication unit to enable
   communication between a plurality of interfaces associated with a plurality of units, sensors,
   devices of the system.
6. .An automatic method for monitoring the health of the plantation, the method comprises:
   receiving information belonging to a particular plantation; receiving data on the number of animal
   pests captured in animal capturing unit; receiving weather prediction information from
   sensors disposed on rainproof covers disposed on LED trap covers;
   processing the retrieved information and the data for further comparison with that of the
   information stored in the memory; and generating warning signals for the first symptom of
   pests and diseases appearing on the plantation, and the animal pests captured in the trap
   lamps.
7.  The method of claim 6, wherein the information includes physiological parameters selected
   from one or more of appearance, shape, development of any symptoms associated with
   pests and diseases on leaf, root, stem, and overall plant.
8. The method of claim 6, wherein the live updates are displayed on a display unit.
9.  The method of claim 6, wherein a plurality of servers, devices, and units communicate
   with each other through a cloud computing centralized server.
