Abstract

Claims (17)

1. An animal tag comprising:

a Light Emitting Diode (LED) providing light indications visible to a user when the animal tag is attached to an animal; and

one or more electronical components obtaining information relating to the animal to which the animal tag is coupled, the electronical components including a light sensor measuring an amount of ambient light;

wherein a power of the LED is set based on the measured amount of ambient light.

2. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the electronical components further include a Near-Field Communication (NFC) tag uniquely identifying the animal tag.

3. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the animal tag is made of molded material.

4. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the electronical components further include one or more of: a three-dimensional accelerometer, a temperature sensor.

5. The animal tag of claim 3 , wherein the animal tag comprises a part configured to accommodate the electronical components, the part is molded to accommodate the electronical components, thereby sealing the molded material including the electronical components.

6. The animal tag of claim 5 , wherein the electronical components are accommodated within a casing and wherein the part of the molded material is molded to accommodate the casing thereby sealing the molded material including the casing.

7. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the part of the molded material has an opening for inserting the electronical components, and wherein after insertion of the electronical components the part is sealed using a cover welded to the part by welding.

8. The animal tag of claim 7 , wherein the electronical components are accommodated within a casing.

9. The animal tag of claim 3 , wherein the molded material is at least one of: polymeric material or polyurethane.

10. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the animal tag includes:

a first part comprising a female opening connectable to a male member for coupling the animal tag to a body part of an animal;

a second part configured to accommodate the one or more electronical components; and

an intermediate part, located between the first part and the second part, having a form of a latitudinal recess for enhancing a flexibility of the animal tag.

11. The animal tag of claim 10 , wherein (a) the intermediate part is an integrally molded portion of the animal tag, having substantially thinner width with respect to the first part and with respect to the second part, (b) a first axis along which the female opening connects to the male member is perpendicular to a second axis along which the latitudinal recess extends, thereby enhancing a flexibility of the animal tag, and (c) the latitudinal recess includes horizontal traverse portions and inclined side surfaces.
