SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING GRAIN BIN CONDITION DATA TO A SMARTPHONE

摘要

Sensed conditions are communicated from a cable sensing array suspended in one or more grain storage bins using an adapter which includes a port for making a wired connection with a cable output of the cable sensing array. The adapter further includes a sensor receiver in connection with the port to receive sensed conditions from the cable sensing array, and an interface. In a preferred embodiment, the interface forms a wired connection with a headphone jack of a smartphone. A program executable on the smartphone communicates a sampling instruction from the smartphone to the adapter through the interface to cause the adapter to retrieve the sensed condition data from the sensing array and transmit the sensed condition data back to the smartphone. The program on the smartphone may include further instructions to transmit the data over a wireless network to a remote server for access by internet enabled devices.
