DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0032] With reference to the illustrated drawings, this invention patent refers to the “IMPROVEMENTS TO A SYSTEM INTENDED FOR THE NATIONAL REGISTRATION OF PETS AND RESPECTIVE IDENTIFICATION/LOCATION MEANS”, more precisely it refers to a system (10) intended for the registration of pets and respective identification means (20) presented in the form of a TAG (21).

[0033] According to this invention, the referred pet registration system (10) comprises a Web and Mobile—Android and IOS technology platform (30) for use in mobile devices (Ap) in general and provided with an interface (31) with a registration means in the database of general information (H) such as the pet name, breed, size, weight, age, particular characteristics such as spots and the like, in addition to specific information (I2) such as the life history, vaccination history, estrous cycles, surgeries, allergies, controlled medicines, wormers, severe diseases, among others, in addition to the tutor's basic information (I3), the type of contact to be activated or not in cases of loss or escapes of his/her pet such as, for example, communication via site or application, chat, SMS messages, Whatsapp, Telegram, e-mail, Messenger or Skype.

[0034] The referred TAG (21) provides for a single identification formed by a numeric sequence containing ten digits and which comprises an accessibility code (CD) to the platform (30) to register the information (I1)/(I2)/(I3) and beginning of the national registration, being that the referred TAG (21) comprises a structural disk (21a) made of metal, high resistance aluminum or polyvinyl chloride—PVC and provided with a central appendage (21b) where a hole (21c) was made to receive a resistant fastener (22) which, in its turn, is assembled to the pet collar (not shown).

[0035] The referred structural disk (21a) is incorporated of attached to one of the faces (f1)/(f2) of chip NFC (22) with an estimated lifecycle of 10 thousand readings, operational temp./hum. of 10 to 60° C./20% to 60% RH and storage temp./hum. of 20 to 30° C./20% to 60% RH.

[0036] The flat faces (f1) and (f2) of the referred disk (21a) receive graphic printings with a polyvinyl chloride PVC (23) layer provided with reflective material, as well as face (f2) is provided with graphic printing containing information (I5) related to the pet identification, namely: i) NFC indication symbol (24a); ii) single QRCODE (24b); iii) single identification number (CD); iv) call center number (24c).

[0037] The steps comprising the system accessibility (10) for the registration of pets are as follows:

a) Purchase of the TAG (21) in a site or authorized distributor;
b) Access to the platform (30) so as to confirm the service hiring activating the TAG (21) by providing the code (CD), as well as the confirmation of the register with information (I1) and (I2) and activation of the information (I3) related to the type of contact desired;
c) Subsequently, the platform generates a WEB/LINK page with the pet record and identification;
d) The procedures are completed by processing all the information (I1)/(I2)/(I3) and defining the alert types;
e) After the previous step, the tutor must attach the TAG (21) to the pet's collar.

[0038] The steps comprising the beginning of the location by the system (10) are as follows:

aa) In the lack of the pet or the identification that it is lost or escaped, the tutor may or not share with the other people by means of a post in the platform informing the entire community that his/her pet escaped or is lost. All the platform (30) users view the tutors' posts in increasing order, where the last posts are viewed in first place in the list, as well, as a geolocation map indicating the animals lost in that region.
bb) An individual finds the lost animal and by immediately viewing the TAG (21) identifies it is lost by proceeding with the TAG (21) reading with his/her cell phone or contacts the call center number (24c) informing he/she found the lost animal After reading the Tag (21), the animal record is shown in a maximum time interval of 7s;
cc) In case he/she decides to contact the call center, an attendant request the Tag (21) number in order to contact the tutor and proceed with the intermediation/connection between the tutor and the person who found the pet so as to schedule the rescue;
dd) In case the individual who found the pet decides to read the TAG (21) with the NFC code and QRCODE, an internet browser is opened with the entire record/profile of the found animal showing only the tutor name and the town of residence and in such web screen of the found animal record/profile there's a button with the CHAT name so as the individual who found the animal is able to start a conversation via CHAT with the tutor, being at the tutor's discretion to inform the data through the CHAT and schedule the rescue of his/her lost animal Whenever a person reads the pet TAG (21), the tutor receives an alert by some means he/she has chosen or by all the active means, being that such alert will show the tutor the date and time the TAG (21) was read and in case the person who read the Tag has the geolocation active in his/her smartphone/cell phone, in such alert, the tutor also receives the location where the reading was conducted containing the street name, the state, the city and the neighborhood, if available; and
ee) Following the connection between the person who found the pet and the tutor, the parties agree the best way to meet and deliver the pet.

[0039] A second range of application of TAG (21) comprises the graphic printing of information (I5) to the external face (f1′) of a ring (22′) structure comprising a tubular strap (21a′) provided with a fastener or not, presenting an external member (21b′) presenting two distinct formats, such as tubular (T1), triangular (T2), or other ones to receive a RFID microchip (FIGS. 4 and 4A), being that such tubular strap (21a′) can be installed in birds of several breeds.

[0040] A third range of application of TAG (21) comprises the graphic printing of information (I5) to the external face (f1″) of a plate (22″) placed on rectangular, oblong brackets (22b″), or presenting another appropriate format installed in reflective belts (22a″) which may comprise a neck collar (CL); a chest collar (CP) or a body collar of animals such as dogs and cats (FIG. 5).

[0041] The referred pet registration system (10) presents an interface (31) which may have an additional pet identification means, which enables the storage of photographs (FT) taken of the pets' faces upon registration, so that they are captured and stored in respective profiles, and made available in the system (31) databanks (BD), being that the recognition of escaped pets (AF) is based on steps such as: (a) capture of the escaping/lost animal snout image (FT1) (FIG. 6A); and (b) processing and identification of the found animal snout/face image (FT1) characteristics compared with the images (FT) available in the databank (BD) so that, if positive, the tutor is contacted according to the procedure provided for in the TAG identification mode.

[0042] It's true that when this invention is put into practice, changes can be introduced concerning certain construction and form details, without departing from the basic principles which are clearly substantiated in the claims, being, thus, understood that the employed terminology was not intended to be limiting.
