WIRELESS NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELECTRONIC RODENT TRAPS

摘要

A remote notification electronic rodent trapping system and method is provided having a plurality of electronic rodent trapping devices configured to wirelessly communicate trap information to each other and to a PC or wireless device. According to one embodiment, each trap is equipped with an RF transceiver and the rodent trapping devices form a mesh network with one another in which the trapping devices act as repeaters so that if one trap loses connectivity with the PC, information from that trap can be transmitted to the PC via another trap. According to an alternative embodiment, the traps individually report directly to the base station or to the base station via one or more repeaters, the repeaters enabling the range of the direct individual reporting configuration to be greatly increased.

1. A remote notification electronic rodent trapping system comprising:
a least one electronic rodent trapping device having an RF transceiver and configured to send RF transmissions containing trap status data; at least one repeating device configured to receive trap status data as a message and to repeat the message to another device; and a base station computing device configured to receive said message at a distance from said trapping device and/or from said at least one repeating device and to provide an output to said computing device for review by a user, said base station computing device enabling the user to monitor status of the trapping device without having to be in physical proximity to the trap.
