Amended claims

[Claim l] [Amended] Mosquito monitoring and counting system, consistsing of a sensor and a detector, also comprising an antenna, a central processing unit, a counting sensor, a GSM WIFI-module and a sensor made in the form of a high-speed computer vision camera, wherein a high-speed machine vision camera is installed in the trap diffuser, and the counting sensor detects all insects that enter the air stream, the central processing unit based on artificial intelligence through neural networks processes the data array, counts and classifies insects into species and subspecies, the accumulated data are transmitted via GSM or Wi-Fi over the Internet to the server, there they are processed and submitted in the form of graphs integrated with Google Maps or other mapping services superimposed on the Google map; data concerning the number of mosquitoes anywhere in the world where mosquito traps called SEMCS are installed are stored in a cloud storage for free access by users of application.

Description:
MOSQUITO MONITORING AND COUNTING SYSTEM

The present invention is intended for remote monitoring and counting of mosquito population in different areas and has the ability to share the data with other users using a relevant application.

The system enables to monitor remotely and collect data on the number of mosquitoes anywhere in the world where mosquito control systems, called SEMCS

(designed to reduce insect populations and count number of caught insects), and/or systems produced by of other manufacturers are installed. Mosquito monitoring and counting system enables to share with other users information concerning the number of mosquitoes, a decrease or an increase of their population in a particular area; plan tourists’ travelling to a given region (plan a trip of tourists to a particular region); monitor in real time where and in which area it is safe to rest without threat to be infected with such diseases as malaria, Zika virus, dengue fever and other mosquito- borne diseases.

The known invention relates to a wireless sounding system for determining mosquito breeding populations and mosquito breeding behavior in a particular region using a server and intelligent simulation software that collects environmental parameters via a wireless sensor (along with other environmental and historical data). This software uses the principle of reproduction prediction to create a prognostic model of reproduction and determine population and behavior (Patent WO The known invention relates to a system for counting and/or monitoring insect populations. Insects of at least one defined species are lured and temporarily kept within a certain space, and analyzed by sensors and an appropriate sensor system, taking into account the different characteristics (Patent JNsWO 2019/020694 AI dated

31 .01.2019).

The disadvantage of the existing device is the lack of a system for controlling and monitoring mosquitoes using the application in remote access and the lack of the ability to share this information with other users.

The present invention is based on the problem to improve the features of the device for controlling and monitoring the insects’ population in order to create an ecosystem of connected devices, that enables to monitor the mosquitoes density in different regions of the world.

The problem is solved by mosquito monitoring and counting system that consists of a sensor and a detector, wherein said system additionally comprises an antenna, a central processing unit, a counting sensor, a GSM WIFI module and a sensor made as a high-speed computer vision camera.

The claimed invention is illustrated in Fig. 1 , wherein the mosquito monitoring and counting system is shown.

The present invention relates to mosquito monitoring and counting system, consisting of an antenna 1 , a central processing unit 2, a GSM WIFI module 3, a high-speed computer vision camera 4 and a counting sensor 5.

The device works in a such manner: high-speed computer vision camera 4 for mosquito counting is placed in the trap’s diffuser, the camera records all insects entering the air flow by means of the counting sensor 5, the central processing unit 2 based on artificial intelligence, processes the data using neural networks counts and classifies insects into species and subspecies.

Accumulated data are transmitted to the server using GSM or WiFi via

Internet, being processed there and integrated as graphs with Google .Maps or other mapping services superimposed on a Google map or other search and information services become available to any registered user for further study. Users can be both citizens and government agencies, institutes, schools, R&D centers, laboratories, municipalities.

The system enables to remote access to control and collect data on the number of mosquitoes anywhere in the world where mosquito traps called SEMCS, designed to reduce insect populations and count number of caught insects and/or mosquito traps of other manufactures are installed.

Said system collects information concerning the number of caught mosquitoes and sends it to the cloud storage, where any user of the application can see the graph of mosquitoes’ activity, increase or decrease in population, through the Internet resource.

The innovative system for catching and counting trapped insects and transferring results to the cloud server. By connecting via Internet and downloading the application to own computer, tablet or smartphone, the user can control the mosquito trap: change settings, fan intensity, on and off time, set the time of day and night mode, change the interval of fan switching on and C02 supply.

The user can monitor the pattern of activity, dynamics, the number of mosquitoes caught at different times of the day and weather conditions in different regions, of their own mosquito control devices, as well as can select on die map the region where these and other mosquito control devices are installed to see dynamics of population decrease or increase depending on the time of year and weather conditions. Specialists in mosquito control, the military can collect and process data obtained from different territories for research and control. Also, a person using a web application can instantly get information concerning the activity of mosquitoes in a particular region, get data on wind speed, ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall.

Thus, the claimed invention allows to achieve control and regulation of the mosquito population to ensure safe human life.
