Abstract

Due to the increasing integration of animals into family lifestyles, animal care management becomes an important issue as animals have a direct impact on human psychological and physical health. Even though there are a lot of solutions, maltreatment of animals and risks in animal health are increasing as indicated in the newspapers and statistics. In addition, many identification methods are not efficient and user-friendly. In this paper, an RFID-based mobile monitoring system (RFID-MMS) is designed in helping users to better manage the animals in dynamic information retrieving, location tracking, and behavior analyzing over a wireless network. The proposed system, which is suitable for using in all animals unities, enhances the companionship between humans and animals.
