This requires significant +time and effort, which could be more effectively spent elsewhere. The GFC system intends +to automate the various human involvement in animal farming. + \subsubsection{System functions} +Primarily, the FGC system serves as a tracking and management device. Through +the use of GPS tracking and LoRa long-range communication tehcnology, a collar +is to provide information regarding the present location of the farm +animal equipped with said collar. Furthermore, the collar is to be +able to discourage undesired behavior such as leaving a designated area +from the animal through the use of loud and unpleasant sounds and electrical chock. + +The collar is also to collect data regarding the behavior of various animals, +for use in making decision regarding the livestock or otherwise. + +Additionally, a component of the system is a piece of software that allows +for the remote management of collars. Users should be able to adjust "allowed" +locations for the animals through this software, observe the current locations +of the animals, and read the data collected by the collars. + \subsubsection{User characteristics} +?? \todo{Finish this} \subsection{Definitions} +?? \todo{Finish this} \section{References} \section{System requirements} \subsection{Functional requirements} +\subsubsection{GPS} +It is imperative that the FGC system precisely tracks the locations of +animals that are equipped with a collar. As the name of the system +suggests, the system may be deployed in replacement of fenced-off +areas. As such, failure to correctly identify the location +of an animal may lead to the animal moving outside the desired area. +Since many farms border wooded areas, highways or roads, it is then possible +that an animal whose location was not properly reported will wonder +into traffic or another dangerous location. + +\subsubsection{Sound and Electrical Shock} + \subsection{Usability requirements} \subsection{Performance requirements} \subsection{System interface}
