Wireless scale and release system for secured content
View Patent ↗The present disclosure pertains to a wireless scale, interface and release system for recreational and commercial weighing of items of any kind in a uniform and secure manner, furthermore designed for use on any form of bodies of water, tributaries, ocean, vehicle or land. The present disclosure comprises, scale inside of a waterproof housing, and a user interface to prompt the user through the weighing and release of the item or animal.
1. A fish weighing and release system comprising:
a) a scale configured to measure a weight of a fish;
b) an input device configured to receive an input;
c) a mobile communication device configured to communicate with a digital processing device;
d) an energy storage device having a power supply;
e) a satellite communication member having a transceiver aiding in operation of the satellite communication member to transmit and receive over a satellite network;
f) a mobile processor in functional communication with the scale, the mobile communication device, the satellite communication member, and the input device;
g) a housing wherein the scale, the input device, the mobile communication device, the energy storage device, the satellite communication member and the mobile processor are within the housing and the transceiver is adjoined to and extends outward from the housing; and
h) a clamp adjoined to the scale configured to engage with the fish.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a display adjoined to the housing.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication device is configured for operation on at least one of the following networks of a network set consisting of a Wi-Fi network, a cellular network, a Bluetooth network, a wired network, a radio network, a LoRa network, a WLAN network, a microwave communication network, or any combination thereof.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the housing is waterproof.
5. The system of claim 1 , where the clamp further comprises a release mechanism adjoined to the scale, wherein the release mechanism allows for release of the object at a release location.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one camera, arranged within the scale, facing generally downward and towards the automated release mechanism, in functional communication with the mobile processor and configured to capture an image of the object, the release location, a surrounding of the object, or any combination thereof.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the mobile processor in functional communication with the at least one camera is configured to adjust a camera setting.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the camera setting comprises a number of pixels, an aperture size, an exposure rate, a frame rate, a lens angle, a color tint, or any combination thereof.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the scale comprises a strain gauge, a load cell, a transducer, a spring, or any combination thereof.
10. The system of claim 5 , wherein the release mechanism comprises:
a) a first clamp arm; and
b) a second clamp arm attached to the first clamp arm and comprising a clamping mechanism configured to engage and disengage with the first clamp arm to weigh and release the object.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the clamping mechanism comprises a motor, a solenoid, a magnet, a gear, a pulley, or any combination thereof and wherein the release mechanism is controlled by the mobile processor.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input device comprises a touchscreen, a button, a camera, a microphone, an input port, or any combination thereof.
13. The system of claim 2 , wherein the display and/or the input comprises an LCD screen, an LED screen, a PDP display, an OLED display, a TFT display, or any combination thereof.
14. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to measure a sensed data.
15. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a sensor configured to measure a sensed data; and
wherein the clamping mechanism is triggered by the sensed data, therein engaging or disengaging the release mechanism.
16. The system of claim 2 , further comprising:
a sensor configured to measure a sensed data; and
wherein the display is configured to display the image, the weight, the input, the sensed data, or any combination thereof.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the mobile communication device and/or the satellite communication member is configured to transmit the image, the weight, the input, the sensed data, or any combination thereof.
18. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an external camera attached to a power source of a water vessel;
wherein the external camera is configured to capture an image of the object, the release location, a surrounding of the object, or both.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the mobile processor in functional communication with the external camera is configured to adjust a camera setting.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the external camera setting comprises a number of pixels, an aperture size, an exposure rate, a frame rate, a color tint, or any combination thereof.
