System and method for animal data collection and analytics
An inventive animal collar device is described herein that monitors location, physiological information and/or environmental information relating to an animal wearing the device. The collar may include multiple sensors and other electrical components embedded within the collar body that provide means for: tracking and monitoring an animal's activity and whereabouts, increasing visibility of the collar, and storing and retrieving animal, environment and system information. The collar may implement one or more wired or wireless communication devices so that the collar may transmit data to a connected computing device. The collar may also include one or more antennas to send and/or receive location information associated with the device. The collar may include a removable module that attaches to the collar via a module dock. The removable module may include any of the electronic components and may allow for the collar body to remain on the animal during information transfer and/or charging.
Arrangement And Method For Attaching A Grip To A Leash End Loop
A hand grip for a leash which is attachable to a strap leash end loop without any moving parts and features a compact air horn and a light at opposite ends of a grip body.
Sound collector, animal emotion estimation device, and animal emotion estimation method
An animal emotion estimation device includes: a sound collector configured by an elastic member having a recess, a sound concentrating microphone provided on the bottom portion of the recess, and an impact absorber covering the entire of the elastic member and the sound concentrating microphone; a harness to mount the sound collector on an animal; a converter that filters and converts the sound collected through the sound collector into a heart rate signal; an estimation portion that estimates the emotion of the animal based on the heart rate signal; and an output unit that supplies information showing the estimation estimated by the estimation portion.
Multi-Function Pet Leash Attachment
A pet leash attachment comprising a housing attachable to a leash. The housing has a first end, a second end opposing the first end, and at least one side wall extending between the first end and the second end. A first cavity within the housing is configured to store a roll of pet waste bags. An opening extends through the at least one side wall of the housing into the first cavity. A slit extends through the at least one side wall of the housing from the second end. The opening and the slit are radially spaced a distance from one another.
ANIMAL DEVICE
The invention refers to an animal device with an electronics, whereby the electronics (1) has a belt holder (2) and a belt (3), whereby the belt holder (2) includes a first part (4) and a second part (5), the first part (4) having a belt insertion hollow (6), in which the belt (3) is receivable, the second part (5) being complementary to the first part (4) and closing the belt insertion hollow (6) in the working position.
Collar with removable flea collar sleeve
The invention is a collar with a removable flea collar sleeve. The invention is comprised of a conventional collar to be worn by the pet, which provides an inner flea collar sleeve. The collar provides a sturdy, protective outer layer and may provide decorative features. The sleeve is available separately in a broad variety of sizes, such that users may elect to affix the sleeve within other pet collars.
GPS-ENABLED COLLAR WITH IMPROVED CHARGING
A system for tracking a location of a movable object can include a tracking device mounted to a collar. The tracking device can be configured to track its location using at least one of a global positioning system signal, a Bluetooth signal, and a Wi-Fi signal. The system can include a middle man charging mechanism. The middle man charging mechanism can be configured to receive electrical energy from a base station charging device. The middle man charging mechanism can be configured to store the received electrical energy. The middle man charging mechanism can be configured to couple to an external charging interface of the tracking device to recharge the battery included in the tracking device while the collar is worn by the movable object. The tracking device can also be configured to transmit information corresponding to the location of the tracking device to an external computing device.
LIGHT UP BUCKLE FOR USE WITH A DOG COLLAR
The invention discloses a light up buckle for use with a dog collar. This buckle design comprises a Plastic Computer Board (PCB) which incorporates LED's, a mini-USB port, a switch and a rechargeable battery. The lithium-ion battery is housed within the buckle assembly and is protected from water by means of rubber seals when the buckle is in the closed or locked position.
The main components are molded from translucent plastic, to allow the LED's to illuminate the assembly when switched on. There are multiple settings for the LED's to allow for a steady illumination or various flashing/pulsing settings. The buckle is intended for illumination at night to aid the visibility of an owner's canine that wears the buckle on the collar.
The buckle can be fitted onto a collar strap or body harness and so has multiple uses and applications.
The buckle design is rounded and has smooth edges to ensure no discomfort is experienced by the canine. There is a trigger switch located on the underside of the buckle which is operated by pressing a rubber button that protrudes from the plastic casing.
The entire assembly is water-resistant, by means of two rubber components that interlock when the buckle is closed. The pressure between these two rubber plugs ensures water cannot get access to the electronics and battery.
Combination power pack retractable leash and collar having electronic charging, electronic animal keeper, and outdoor solar powered charging station
A combination of a power pack electronic retractable leash, and a collar comprised of electronic components for tracking an animal wearing the collar; the retractable leash has a casing comprised of a spool located therein and which collects a leash line when the leash line is retracted; a power pack and related electronic PCB for power management; the leash line has its distal end terminated with a leash socket configured and sized for fitting into a socket connector; the leash socket is equipped with an emitting induction coil and the socket connector on the collar is equipped with a receiving induction coil; when the leash socket is connected to the socket connector, both the emitting and receiving induction coils are positioned proximal to one another so that electrical current can circulates between them so that electricity from the retractable leash battery can charge the battery located on the collar.
Tag
A tag includes a plate-shaped element and a covering part. The plate-shaped element has a central portion and a peripheral edge, the covering part being superimposed on the plate-shaped element to match at least part of the peripheral edge. The peripheral edge has at least one housing seat of a portion of the covering part. Moreover, the covering part is superimposed to the plate-shaped element at least at said housing seat.
