[0003] TECHNICAL AREA

[0004] The present revelation deals with the monitoring of arthropods based on image recordings.

[0005] The subject matter of the present disclosure is a kit, a system, and a process.

[0006] INTRODUCTION

[0007] Approximately two-thirds of currently known animal species belong to the arthropods (phylum Arthropoda), 85% of which are insects. A significant proportion of arthropods are phytophagous: these animals feed on plants and can impair growth, cause damage through sucking and feeding, and transmit viral diseases. This can lead to, for example, substantial losses in yield and quality in crop cultivation.

[0008] In modern agriculture, the detection and identification of pests within agricultural areas plays an important role.

[0009] SUMMARY

[0010] This revelation addresses these and other aspects.

[0011] A first object of the present disclosure is a system comprising a base body with a receiving surface for receiving a sheet coated with adhesive, a holding device for receiving an IoT device comprising a camera, spacers wherein the spacers fix the holding device at a distance from the receiving surface of the base body, and an enclosure between the holding device and the receiving surface for protecting the receiving surface from environmental influences.

[0012] Another object of the present disclosure is a kit comprising: a base body with a receiving surface for receiving a sheet provided with adhesive, a holding device for receiving an IoT device comprising a camera, spacers for fixing the holding device at a distance from the receiving surface of the base body, and a folding sheet for creating an enclosure between the holding device and the receiving surface.

[0013] Another subject of the present disclosure is a process encompassing:

[0015] - Providing support means, wherein the support means fix the holding device at a distance from the receiving surface of the base body,

[0016] - Providing an enclosure,

[0017] - Attaching the housing to the base body and the holding device,

[0018] - Fixing the holding device at the required distance to the receiving surface of the base body using the spacers.

[0020] Further items can be found in the detailed revelation and the drawings.

[0021] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Fig. 1 shows, by way of example and schematically, a system of the present disclosure and how it is generated from components.

[0023] Fig. 2 shows an exemplary and schematic enclosure.

[0024] Fig. 3 shows an example and schematic of a folded sheet from which an enclosure can be produced.

[0025] DETAILED REVELATION

[0026] The subject matter of this disclosure is explained in more detail below, without distinguishing between the subject matter of this disclosure (system, kit, process, use). Rather, the following explanations are intended to apply analogously to all subject matter of the disclosure, regardless of the context in which (system, kit, process, use) they are described.

[0027] If the present description or the claims specify steps in a sequence, this does not necessarily mean that the disclosure is limited to the specified sequence. Rather, it is conceivable that the steps could also be carried out in a different sequence or even in parallel with one another, unless, for example, one step builds upon another, which requires that the building step be carried out subsequently (this will become clear in the specific case). The specified sequences are therefore exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0028] The subject matter of this disclosure is further explained in some places with reference to drawings. These drawings depict specific embodiments with specific features and combinations of features, primarily for illustrative purposes; this disclosure should not be understood as being limited to the features and combinations of features shown in the drawings. Furthermore, statements made in the description of the drawings with regard to features and combinations of features are intended to be generally applicable, that is, transferable to other embodiments and not limited to the embodiments shown.

[0029] The article "ein" means "one or more," unless preceded by "nur" or "lemiglich." The same applies analogously to the article "eine."

[0030] The expressions ‘based on’ and ‘based on’ mean ‘at least partly based on’, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

[0031] The term “or” is not to be understood as an exclusive “or”, i.e. the expression “A or B” includes “A”, “B” as well as “A and B”.

[0032] The terms used in this disclosure have the meaning they have in the prior art, in particular in the prior art cited in this disclosure.

[0033] One subject of this disclosure is a system. The system comprises several components (also called parts). The system is assembled from these components. If the components exist individually (i.e., not in a combined form), they constitute a kit. Such a kit is another part of this disclosure. A kit can be a sales product. This means that the components of the kit can be offered together as a single sales product. In a kit, the components can be combined in such a way (e.g., in a common package) that they together take up less space than in the form of the system of this disclosure.

[0034] In other words, the system of the present revelation can be created from the kit of the present revelation by assembling the components.

[0035] The system of this present disclosure can also be a product for sale. It is also possible that only the system of this present disclosure is offered for sale. The system of this present disclosure can be broken down into its components. This can be done, for example, to better clean up the system.

[0036] Another subject of this disclosure is a process. The process comprises steps taken to create the system of this disclosure from the individual components (e.g., in the form of the kit). The process of this disclosure may include further steps.

[0037] The system of the present disclosure may be a device for monitoring arthropods or a part thereof. A further subject matter of the present disclosure is a use of the system for monitoring arthropods.

[0038] “Arthropods” are a diverse group of invertebrate animals belonging to the phylum Arthropoda.

[0039] Arthropods play an important role in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and / or as part of the food web. They can also be of economic importance, both beneficial (e.g., pollination, silk production) and detrimental (e.g., as pests in agriculture, vectors of diseases). Arthropods are classified into several groups (subphyla and classes), including insects and arachnids.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to insects and arachnids.

[0041] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to insects.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to adult insects.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to insects in the form of caterpillars.

[0044] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to arachnids.

[0045] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to mites.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "arthropods" refers exclusively to pests of crops.

[0047] The term "monitoring" usually means that, with the help of the system of the present disclosure (possibly in combination with other means), the presence of one or more arthropods in an area (e.g., in a field for the cultivation of crops) can be detected.

[0048] One component of the kit / system is a basic shape. The basic shape can be a cylinder, a cuboid, a cube, a parallelepiped, a truncated cone, a truncated pyramid, or another solid. The basic shape can be closed on all sides. The basic shape can also be open on one side. If the basic shape is open on one side, it usually lacks either the base or the top surface. If the base is missing, the basic shape opens downwards; if the top surface is missing, the basic shape opens upwards.

[0049] However, it is also possible that one or more side surfaces are missing.

[0050] In one embodiment, the basic body has the shape of a closed cuboid or one open on one side (box shape). If the basic body has a box shape, the base or top surface is usually missing; the basic body can therefore be open at the bottom or the top.

[0051] In one embodiment, the basic body has the form of a closed or upwardly or downwardly open cuboid with a base and / or a top surface and side surfaces, wherein the edges where the side surfaces meet may be rounded.

[0052] In one embodiment, the base area and / or the top surface is many times larger than any side surface.

[0053] In one embodiment, the base area and / or the top surface has a size in the range of 300 cm². 2 up to 1300 cm 2In one embodiment, the base area and / or the top surface has a size in the range of 300 cm². 2 up to 1000 cm 2 .

[0054] In one embodiment, the base area and / or the top surface has a size in the range of 400 cm². 2 up to 1000 cm 2 .

[0055] In one embodiment, the height of the base body is in the range of 3 mm to 50 mm, wherein the height is the shortest distance between the base surface and the top surface, wherein the base surface or the top surface may be absent from the base body and thus be an imaginary surface.

[0056] In one embodiment, the base and top surfaces are planar surfaces, whereby the base or top surface may be missing from the base body and thus be an imaginary surface.

[0057] In one embodiment, the base and top surfaces run parallel to each other, whereby the base or top surface may be missing from the base body and thus be an imaginary surface.

[0058] The base body provides a surface for receiving a sheet coated with adhesive (receiving surface).

[0059] This receiving surface is usually the top surface. If the top surface is missing, the base body has the shape of a container, and the bottom of the container can provide the receiving surface for the sheet coated with adhesive.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the receiving surface has a size of 180 mm x 230 mm to 200 mm x 250 mm.

[0061] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the receiving surface has a size of 185 mm x 235 mm to 195 mm x 245 mm.

[0062] The adhesive is used to immobilize arthropods. The adhesive can be, for example, a glue. The arch can be flexible and adapt to the shape of the receiving surface of the base body on which it is placed. The arch can also be rigid. If the arch is rigid, it is usually planar.

[0063] The sheet can be, for example, a board or card (or another body) coated with an adhesive, for example, glue. The sheet can be round (e.g., circular), elliptical, triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, or generally "-gonal," where n can be an integer greater than 2. The sheet can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sheet has the shape of a rectangle, the corners of which can be rounded. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the aspect ratio of the rectangular sheet corresponds to the aspect ratio of an image sensor of the camera.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the arc has dimensions ranging from 100 mm x 200 mm to 200 mm x 250 mm.

[0065] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the arc has dimensions ranging from 100 mm x 160 mm to 130 mm x 190 mm.

[0066] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the sheet has dimensions ranging from 160 mm x 210 mm to 180 mm x 230 mm. The area of ​​the sheet coated with the adhesive defines a region which is also referred to in this disclosure as the collection area.

[0067] The collection area is an area that can be visited by arthropods. The adhesive immobilizes the arthropods within the collection area.

[0068] As an attractant, the collection area can be designed in a color (e.g. yellow or red) that attracts specific arthropods.

[0069] In addition to or instead of color, other means may be used to attract arthropods (lures). For example, a pheromone or scent that mimics a food source could be used. Another possibility is the use of a source of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared, visible, and / or ultraviolet range to attract (specific) arthropods. The use of sounds that imitate, for example, males and / or females in mating season is also conceivable. Finally, the use of specific patterns that mimic, for example, a plant is another possibility.

[0070] The sheet coated with adhesive can be placed on the receiving surface of the base body. Fastening means may be provided to fix the sheet in place. Such fastening means are described, for example, in European Patent Application No. 24180656.1, the contents of which are hereby incorporated in full by reference into this disclosure. It is possible that the base body has boundaries that prevent the sheet from slipping.

[0071] The adhesive-coated sheet and / or a roll of an adhesive-coated sheet and / or a plurality of adhesive-coated sheets may be a component of the system and / or kit of the present disclosure.

[0072] The sheet and / or roll may be coated with adhesive on one side.

[0073] The sheet and / or roll may be coated with adhesive on two opposite sides. The adhesive may be covered on one or both sides by a protective film that can be removed before use.

[0074] Another component of the kit / system of the present disclosure is a holding device. The holding device serves to accommodate an IoT device.

[0075] "IoT" is the abbreviation for "Internet of Things," which in German means "Internet of Things." The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of devices that are connected to the internet and can collect, exchange, and / or process data.

[0076] An "IoT device" is a uniquely identifiable electronic computing device configured to transmit, receive, process, and / or respond to data over a network without the need for human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. An "IoT device" is typically equipped with computer chips, sensors, and communication hardware that enable it to collect, send, and / or receive data from its environment and / or other devices. An IoT device typically operates autonomously within an Internet of Things ecosystem, which includes networked IoT devices that communicate and / or interact via the internet and / or other network infrastructures. An IoT device is typically characterized by its ability to operate with minimal human intervention, utilizing embedded software, sensors, and network connectivity to perform its defined functions.The IoT device can be a component of the kit and / or system of the present disclosure; the IoT device can be a separate device independent of the kit and / or system of the present disclosure.

[0077] The IoT device includes at least one camera.

[0078] A "camera" is a device or system designed to capture and record images of objects and / or phenomena. A camera uses, for example, electromagnetic radiation, sound waves, or other physical processes that can be visually represented. The camera converts received signals (e.g., optical or acoustic) into other signals (e.g., electrical) and / or data that can be stored, processed, displayed, and / or transmitted. The term "camera" encompasses devices that operate with all media or technologies, including analog and digital, optical, electronic, chemical, or other methods of image acquisition.The term "camera" encompasses a wide range of devices including, but not limited to, still cameras, video cameras, thermal imaging cameras, radar systems, ultrasound imaging devices, electron microscopes and all future technologies that can perform the function of image acquisition.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one camera is a digital camera that electrically generates two-dimensional images from light using one or more image sensors. These are typically semiconductor-based image sensors such as CCD (charge-coupled device) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors. Optical elements such as lenses, apertures, and the like serve to achieve the sharpest possible image of arthropods in the collecting area on the image sensor. A digital camera is configured to generate digital images.

[0080] Digital images can be processed, edited, and reproduced using computer systems and programs, as well as converted into standardized data formats such as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group graphics format), PNG (Portable Network Graphics), or SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). Digital images can be visualized using suitable display devices, such as computer monitors, projectors, and / or printers.

[0081] The holding device is a component that, together with the mounting brackets, ensures that the IoT device is fixed at a defined distance from the surface of the base body on which the adhesive-coated sheet is placed, and thus at a defined distance from the collection area. The holding device and mounting brackets ensure that the IoT device's at least one camera is directed towards the collection area, enabling it to capture images of the area. The fixed and defined distance to the collection area allows for a defined and consistent image of the area on the camera sensor (e.g., image sensor) of the at least one camera.

[0082] In one embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 5 cm to 20 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 6 cm to 20 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 20 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 19 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 18 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 17 cm.In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 16 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 15 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 5 cm to 14 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 13 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 7 cm to 12 cm. In another embodiment, the distance between the holding device (underside) and the receiving surface is in the range of 8 cm to 12 cm.

[0083] The holding device serves to accommodate the IoT device, while the spacers serve to attach the holding device to the base body. The holding device and spacers can be combined in a single component; however, they can also be separate, independent components that can be connected to each other in the system described in this disclosure. The design in the form of separate, independent components has the advantage, with respect to the kit described in this disclosure, that the components can be combined more compactly, e.g., in a single package.

[0084] The spacers can be a rod or comprise one that is or will be attached to the holding device and that can be fastened to the base body.

[0085] For attaching the spacers to the holding device and / or the base body, plug connections, screw connections, and / or clamp connections can be used, for example. The fasteners can be reversible, allowing the connection between the spacer and the holding device and / or between the spacer and the base body to be disconnected and reconnected. This also facilitates cleaning of the system described in this disclosure, as the components can be detached from one another and then cleaned separately from all sides.

[0086] In one embodiment, the holding device comprises a drawer into which the IoT device can be inserted. For this purpose, the IoT device may have guide rails that are inserted into corresponding grooves in the holding device; however, it is also possible that the holding device comprises guide rails and the IoT device comprises the corresponding grooves. Guide rails and grooves enable guided insertion of the IoT device into the holding device along a sliding direction, while movement of the IoT device in the two directions perpendicular to the sliding direction is prevented by corresponding stops. The insertion of the IoT device can proceed until a stop is reached, which prevents further insertion of the IoT device into the holding device, so that the IoT device assumes a defined position within the holding device. Detent elements on the IoT device and / or holding device can prevent the IoT device from sliding backward against the sliding direction.The locking elements can be designed such that, through pulling, pushing, or another means, they release the fixation of the IoT device, allowing the IoT device to be reversibly removed from the holding device. In one embodiment, the holding device comprises at least one recess. When the IoT device is connected to the holding device, at least one lens of the at least one camera is positioned above the recess, so that electromagnetic radiation reflected, scattered, and / or diffracted from the collection area passes through the at least one recess and the at least one camera lens onto a camera sensor (e.g., image sensor) of the at least one camera and generates an image of the collection area on the at least one camera sensor.

[0087] Another component of the kit and / or system described in this disclosure is an enclosure. The enclosure serves to protect the collection area from environmental influences such as precipitation, direct sunlight, dirt, and animals and / or plants larger than the arthropods intended to enter the collection area.

[0088] The enclosure is typically connected to the base body in such a way that the receiving surface and the enclosure define and / or at least partially limit a volume in which the adhesive-coated sheet can be placed and protected from environmental influences. This volume is also referred to in this disclosure as the internal volume.

[0089] The enclosure typically comprises at least two walls and is adapted to the shape of the receiving surface such that the walls are in contact with, or can be brought into contact with, the receiving surface along edges. In other words, in the system of the present disclosure, the at least two walls rest on the receiving surface and are flush with it. In one embodiment, there are two walls; in another embodiment, there are three walls; in yet another embodiment, there are four walls. The walls extend at an angle to the receiving surface, which may be, for example, in the range of 40° to 140°, 50° to 130°, 60° to 120°, 80° to 100°, 70° to 90°, 90° to 120°, or 90° to 110°. In one embodiment, all walls extend at an angle of 85° to 95° to the receiving surface. In another embodiment, all walls extend at an angle of 87° to 93° to the receiving surface.In one embodiment, all walls run at an angle of 88° to 92° to the receiving surface. In another embodiment, all walls run at an angle of 89° to 91° to the receiving surface.

[0090] In this disclosure, the angle specifications refer to the angles within the interior volume.

[0091] In one embodiment, the receiving surface is rectangular (where the corners may be rounded) and the enclosure comprises four walls, two first walls and two second walls, wherein the first walls adjoin the receiving surface on opposite sides and the second walls adjoin the receiving surface on the two other opposite sides, wherein the first walls form an angle of 90° to 110° with the receiving surface and wherein the second walls form an angle of 85° to 95° with the receiving surface.

[0092] The enclosure's at least two walls may have one or more openings. Such an opening can serve to allow arthropods access to and / or entry into the interior volume.

[0093] The openings can have any shape. For example, they can be round (e.g., circular), elliptical, or polygonal, where n can be an integer greater than 2. The openings can also be in the shape of a quadrilateral (e.g., a rectangle) or another polygonal, with rounded corners.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, openings in walls are round (e.g. circular).

[0095] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, openings in walls are square (e.g. rectangular), with the corners possibly being rounded.

[0096] The enclosure typically encompasses a roof surface. Usually, two or more (e.g., four) walls of the enclosure adjoin the roof surface.

[0097] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the roof area is larger than the receiving area.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the roof surface comprises sub-surfaces. In one embodiment, at least one of the sub-surfaces is planar and runs parallel to the receiving surface. This sub-surface is (arbitrarily) referred to in this description as the first sub-surface. In one embodiment, the first sub-surface is planar. In one embodiment, the first sub-surface is quadrilateral (e.g., rectangular). In one embodiment, the first sub-surface has dimensions ranging from 50 mm x 50 mm to 160 mm x 230 mm.

[0099] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the first partial surface has an extent in the range of 50 mm x 120 mm to 120 mm x 230 mm.

[0100] The receiving surface and the first section of the roof surface are separated by a distance. This distance is preferably constant (uniform) across the entire first section.

[0101] In one embodiment, the receiving area is larger than the first sub-area. In another embodiment, the receiving area is smaller than the first sub-area.

[0102] In one embodiment, two sub-surfaces of the roof surface adjoin the first sub-surface of the roof surface. These are (arbitrarily) referred to in this disclosure as the second sub-surfaces. In another embodiment, two second sub-surfaces of the roof surface enclose the first sub-surface of the roof surface, i.e., they adjoin the first sub-surface on opposite sides. In yet another embodiment, the first sub-surface of the roof surface is rectangular, and two second sub-surfaces of the roof surface adjoin the first sub-surface on two opposite sides.

[0103] In one embodiment, the two second sub-surfaces of the roof surface are flat (planar). In another embodiment, the two second sub-surfaces of the roof surface are convex outwards when viewed from the interior volume. In yet another embodiment, the two second sub-surfaces of the roof surface are convex inwards when viewed from the interior volume.

[0104] In one embodiment, the two second surfaces are flat and each extend at an angle of 5° to 120° to the receiving surface. In another embodiment, the two second surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 90° to the receiving surface. In another embodiment, the two second surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 60° to the receiving surface. In another embodiment, the two second surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 45° to the receiving surface. In another embodiment, the two second surfaces each extend at an angle of 5° to 30° to the receiving surface. In one embodiment, the two second surfaces of the roof surface are flat (planar), adjoin the rectangular first surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first surface in the range of 90° to 175°.In one embodiment, the two second surfaces of the roof are planar, adjoin the rectangular first surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first surface in the range of 120° to 175°. In another embodiment, the two second surfaces of the roof are planar, adjoin the rectangular first surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first surface in the range of 135° to 175°. In yet another embodiment, the two second surfaces of the roof are planar, adjoin the rectangular first surface on opposite sides, and each form an angle with the first surface in the range of 150° to 175°.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the receiving surface, the at least two walls, and the roof surface of the enclosure define a housing (resembling a house) in which the roof has the form of a mansard roof. The first partial surface forms the flat part of the mansard roof.

[0106] The first sub-area provides a surface on or above which the mounting device for the IoT device can be placed and / or attached.

[0107] The first sub-surface and / or the holding device typically include fasteners that allow the holding device to be attached to the first sub-surface or vice versa. The fasteners may be designed such that, when attached, the holding device is located either within or outside the internal volume.

[0108] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fastening means are designed such that, in the fastened state, the holding device is located outside the inner volume in contact with the first partial surface. In this embodiment, the first partial surface has at least one opening. This at least one opening in the first partial surface forms at least one common alignment with the at least one recess in the holding device, so that electromagnetic radiation, which is reflected, scattered, and / or diffracted by the collection area, can pass through the at least one opening in the first partial surface and the recess in the holding device into at least one camera lens of the at least one camera of the IoT device when the IoT device is located in the holding device.

[0109] The opening in the first part of the surface therefore serves to allow electromagnetic radiation from the inner volume to pass through the at least one opening to the outside (outside the enclosure).

[0110] The opening in the first partial surface can be round (e.g., circular), elliptical, or angular, where n can be an integer greater than 2. If the opening is angular, the corners can be rounded. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the opening is at least partially circular.

[0111] Typically, the IoT device is positioned outside the enclosure in the mounting device on or above the first surface, so that the IoT device's at least one camera can capture images of the interior volume "from the outside." The enclosure can be made of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, glass, and / or a composite material. The at least two walls and / or the roof surface can be made of the same material or of different materials. In one embodiment, the at least two walls and the roof surface are made of the same material.

[0112] In one embodiment, the housing is made of a plastic. In another embodiment, the housing is made of a polymer material. In another embodiment, the housing is made of polypropylene.

[0113] In one embodiment, the housing material is at least partially transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

[0114] In one embodiment, at least the material of the roof surface of the enclosure is at least partially transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

[0115] The transmittance can be, for example, greater than 10%, or greater than 20%, or greater than 30%, or greater than 40%, or greater than 50%, or greater than 60%, or greater than 70%, or greater than 80%, or greater than 90%.

[0116] The visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum is understood to be the range from 380 nm to 780 nm.

[0117] In one embodiment, the at least two walls and / or the roof surface are made of one or more multi-wall polycarbonate sheets. In another embodiment, the at least two walls and / or the roof surface are made of one or more hollow-core polycarbonate sheets.

[0122] In one embodiment, the webs of the multiwall sheets run parallel to the receiving surface and / or first partial surface of the roof surface.

[0123] In the present disclosure, the roof surface and its sub-surfaces are referred to as surfaces—it is clear, of course, that these surfaces are provided by three-dimensional bodies. The designation as surfaces is meant to indicate that the three-dimensional bodies have extensions in two dimensions that are many times greater than their extension in the third dimension. In other words, the three-dimensional bodies are "flat" bodies.

[0124] Each wall surface is part of a wall. The walls form the walls of the enclosure. The roof surface is part of a roof structure. The roof structure forms the roof of the enclosure. Each sub-surface of the roof is a sub-structure of the roof structure.

[0125] In one embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm. In another embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 7 mm. In another embodiment, the roof body has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm.

[0127] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enclosure can be produced from a folded sheet. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enclosure can be produced from a folded sheet without adhesive.

[0128] The folding sheet can be a component of the kit of the present disclosure.

[0129] A folded arch is a single, continuous structure. It comprises a roof surface and at least two wall surfaces.

[0130] When the enclosure is created, the roof surface of the folded arch becomes the roof surface of the enclosure; that is, the roof surface of the folded arch corresponds to the roof surface of the enclosure (and has the properties of the roof surface of the enclosure described in this disclosure). This applies analogously to the first, second, and third partial surfaces of the folded arch and the enclosure. Each wall surface of the folded arch corresponds to one wall surface of the enclosure. Each wall surface of the folded arch becomes one wall surface of the enclosure when the enclosure is created from the folded arch. Therefore, the number of wall surfaces of the folded arch corresponds to the number of wall surfaces of the enclosure, and vice versa.

[0131] The roof surface and the at least two wall surfaces are connected by folds. In other words, the folded arch is divided into several sub-arches by folds. The folded arch can be folded along these folds to change the angles between the sub-arches.

[0132] In one embodiment, all folds run along straight lines.

[0133] In one embodiment, all folds run parallel or perpendicular to each other. In their original state, adjacent sub-sheets form an angle of 180°, so that the folded sheet as a whole is a flat structure. In one embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 1 mm to 8 mm. In one embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 7 mm. In one embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. In one embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 2 mm to 5 mm. In one embodiment, the folded sheet has a thickness (wall thickness) in the range of 3 mm to 6 mm.

[0134] In one embodiment, the folding arch is made from a polypropylene sheet.

[0135] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced between them by 1 mm to 6 mm. In one embodiment, the webs connecting the plates are spaced between them by 1 mm to 6 mm.

[0136] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 1 mm to 5 mm apart.

[0137] In one embodiment, the plates, which are connected to each other by webs, are spaced 2 mm to 4 mm apart.

[0138] In one embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.2 mm to 3 mm. In another embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.3 mm to 2 mm. In yet another embodiment, the plates and webs have a thickness (wall thickness) of 0.4 mm to 1 mm.

[0139] In one embodiment, each of the at least two wall surfaces is separated from the roof surface by a fold.

[0140] The roof surface of the folded arch comprises three sub-areas: a first sub-area and two second sub-areas.

[0141] In one embodiment, the first partial surface of the roof surface is separated from the second partial surfaces of the roof surface by folds on opposite sides of the first partial surface.

[0142] In one embodiment, one of the two second partial surfaces of the roof surface of the folded arch is connected to a first wall surface via a fold, and the other of the two second partial surfaces is connected to a second wall surface via a fold.

[0143] In one embodiment, the first partial surface of the roof surface is connected to a third wall surface by a fold and to a fourth wall surface by a further fold.

[0144] In one embodiment, the rectangular first partial surface of the roof surface is enclosed along two opposite sides by the two second partial surfaces of the roof surface and along the other two opposite sides by two wall surfaces.

[0145] The at least two wall surfaces can have one or more openings. Arthropods can enter the interior of the enclosure created from the folded arch through these openings. Furthermore, the first surface has an opening through which a camera can capture images of the interior of the enclosure from the outside.

[0146] The openings can be created, for example, by punching out sections in the folded sheet.

[0147] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the openings are predefined by perforations and / or punches and / or notches, so that the openings can be easily created by a user by pushing out the parts enclosed by the perforations and / or punches and / or notches. The terms perforations, punches, and notches are to be interpreted broadly and also include other techniques suitable for defining parts in a folded sheet that can be removed from the folded sheet by pushing them out. As a further example, cuts may be mentioned that can be produced, for example, by a sharp object (e.g., a knife) or by a laser.

[0148] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, perforations and / or punchings and / or notches are present that define potential openings of different sizes, so that a user can choose between different sized openings.

[0149] In one embodiment, perforations and / or punches and / or notches define nested areas of different sizes within the folded sheet. That is, a first perforation and / or punch and / or notch defines a first area of ​​the folded sheet, and surrounding this first area is a second perforation and / or punch and / or notch, defining a second area, the second area encompassing the first area. It is possible that a third perforation and / or punch and / or notch is present around the second area, defining a third area, the third area encompassing the second area (and thus also the first area). It is possible that a fourth perforation and / or punch and / or notch is present around the third area, defining a fourth area, the fourth area encompassing the third area (and thus also the second and first areas).And so on. The areas defined by the perforations and / or die-cuts and / or notches define parts that can be removed from the folded sheet by pushing them out. Removing such a part creates an opening. The opening created by pushing out the part defined by the first area is smaller than the opening created by pushing out the part defined by the second area. The opening created by pushing out the part defined by the second area is smaller than the opening created by pushing out the part defined by the third area. And so on.

[0150] In one embodiment, tabs and slots for tabs (or perforations and / or punches and / or notches defining potential slots for tabs) are provided, which make it possible to create the enclosure from the folded sheet without the need for adhesives to fix the parts of the folded sheet.

[0151] The system and / or kit may include additional components.

[0152] Another component could be a lighting unit.

[0153] To image the collection area on one or more image sensors of the IoT device's camera, a light source is required to illuminate the collection area so that light (electromagnetic radiation in the infrared, visible, and / or ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum) is scattered / reflected / diffracted from the illuminated collection area towards the camera. Daylight can be used for this purpose. However, it is also conceivable to use a lighting unit that provides defined illumination independent of daylight. This unit could, for example, be mounted to the side of the camera so that the camera does not cast a shadow on the collection area.

[0154] It is also conceivable to position a lighting unit below and / or next to the collection area, illuminating the collection area "from below" and / or "from the side", while a camera produces one or more images "from above".

[0155] It is conceivable that several light sources illuminate the collection area from different directions.

[0156] The terms "light" and "illumination" should not be interpreted as meaning that the spectral range is limited to visible light (approximately 380 nm to approximately 780 nm). It is equally conceivable that electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength below 380 nm (ultraviolet light: 100 nm to 380 nm) and / or above 780 nm (infrared light: 780 nm to 1000 pm) is used for illumination. The image sensor and the optical elements of the camera are typically adapted to the electromagnetic radiation used.

[0157] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the IoT device comprises one or more light sources.

[0158] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the base body comprises one or more sources of illumination.

[0159] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the holding device comprises one or more light sources.

[0160] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, such a light source – regardless of whether it is part of the IoT device, part of the base body, or part of the holding device – comprises one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs), also known as light-emitting diodes.

[0161] In one embodiment, such an LED is a flash LED. A flash LED is a light-emitting diode that generates a short pulse of light to illuminate subjects when taking a picture.

[0162] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a flash LED or several flash LEDs are arranged in a ring-like shape around the lens of the camera in the form of a ring, a ring segment or several ring segments.

[0163] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a flash LED or several flash LEDs are arranged in the form of a strip or several strips above, beside or below the lens of the camera.

[0164] Another component of the kit and / or system of the present disclosure may be a power supply means. Typically, the IoT device includes a power supply means.

[0165] The IoT device is typically designed for autonomous outdoor operation for a period of several days, weeks, months, or even years.

In one embodiment, the IoT device comprises one or more solar cells and one or more accumulators for power supply. The at least one solar cell and the at least one accumulator are connected in such a way that the solar cell charges the accumulator when electromagnetic radiation (e.g., sunlight) strikes the at least one solar cell.

[0166] In one embodiment of the present invention, the system and / or the kit comprises a power supply unit that is independent of the IoT device. This power supply unit can serve to supply the IoT device with electrical energy (either additionally or exclusively). It can also serve to supply one or more lighting units with electrical energy. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, this power supply unit is housed in the base body or can be housed in the base body. For this purpose, the base body can comprise a volume between the base, the top, and the side surfaces into which the power supply unit is housed and / or can be housed.

[0167] This power supply unit can be, for example, a battery, such as a lithium-ion battery.

[0168] An energy supply unit incorporated into the base body has, in addition to the effect of supplying energy, the effect of increasing the stability of the system of the present disclosure, since the center of gravity of the system is shifted downwards (in the direction of gravity).

[0169] Another component of the kit and / or system of the present disclosure may be one or more electrical connection cables that, for example, connect the IoT device to the separate power supply unit and / or connect the IoT device to one or more lighting units and / or connect one or more lighting units to the power supply unit.

[0170] Another component of the kit and / or system of the present disclosure may be an attractant for arthropods, e.g. a pheromone.

[0171] Another component of the kit and / or system described in this disclosure may be a fastening device for an attractant for arthropods, e.g., a pheromone. The fastening device may serve to position the attractant within the enclosure (in the internal volume) and / or on the receiving surface. The fastening device may, for example, be or comprise a basket or a tray into which the attractant can be placed.
