Pet walking network service provision system {SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING PET WALKING NETWORK SERVICE}

The present invention relates to a pet walking network service provision system, and provides a platform that monitors GPS and emotions using a wearable device and provides points based on the amount of walking to enable use of pet products and services.

As social awareness of companion animals improves, interest in companion animals is also increasing, and various convergence product and service technologies related to companion animals are being developed and utilized. In particular, as IoT-related technology develops in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, its application to related system development and pet-related products is increasing. IoT technology can be linked and utilized with various industries, so the scope of use is increasing. there is. IoT technology is gradually evolving to connect large-scale objects with IoT devices and smoothly collect the large amounts of data they generate, and is mainly responsible for the creation and collection of data. IoT-related pet application systems include receiving location information in real time by applying Bluetooth or LoRa communication, and managing pets easily and conveniently through various functions such as storing and managing information about pets, or setting a safe area. , pet information storage function, walking course management function, real-time location tracking function, etc. are being utilized by applying IoT technology.

At this time, a method of providing information based on pet location tracking or providing points based on walks has been researched and developed. In relation to this, the prior art, Korea Registered Patent No. 10-2341953 (announced on December 22, 2021) and Korea Patent No. Publication Patent No. 2021-0073963 (published on June 21, 2021) provides walking information at the current location of the user terminal, provides pet rewards, and encourages encounters with pets located nearby. A point accumulation system based on the number of steps and a configuration equipped with an exchange function and a health function based on the exact location of the pet are disclosed.

However, the main purpose of the former configuration is to introduce insurance products rather than providing walking information, and the latter configuration is also said to encourage encounters and accumulate points, but whether it is for walking a pet or when the user walks alone or by car. There is no distinction as to whether you are traveling by car. Recently, many pet walking applications have been developed, released and used, but the number of abusers who earn points by marking a walk as a walk when it is not actually a walk is increasing. This occurs by tracking only the location based on GPS, distinguishing between walking and moving by car, and even if walking, patterns such as whether a person is walking alone or whether a pet smells or defecates while walking. This problem arises from not distinguishing between what is visible and what is not. Accordingly, research and development of a platform that tracks the pet's walks to provide points, connects the points to use pet products and services, and detects and displays the pet's emotions while walking is based on IoT. It is required.

One embodiment of the present invention provides points by tracking a pet's walk with a wearable device, links the points to use pet products and services, and uses an IoT-based wearable device to track the pet's walk while the pet is walking. It detects and displays physical activity and emotions, shares the pet's walking location to form a network between pets, and tracks the pet's movement rather than the person's movement, rather than tracking the person's walk. A pet walking network service provision system that allows tracking the movement of a companion animal can be provided. However, the technical challenge that this embodiment aims to achieve is not limited to the technical challenges described above, and other technical challenges may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention includes a user terminal that registers a companion animal and enters a walk event and an end event, and a register that receives the companion animal from the user terminal, and a user terminal. When a walking event is output, a walking amount measuring unit turns on the GPS of the user terminal to monitor the walking amount, and when an end event is output from the user terminal, a walking amount measurement unit ends monitoring of the walking amount and confirms the walking amount. It includes a network service providing server including a confirmation unit.

According to one of the above-described means of solving the problem of the present invention, points are paid by tracking a pet's walk with a wearable device, the points are linked to use pet products and services, and an IoT-based wearable device is used to provide points. It detects and displays the pet's walking amount and emotions during a walk, shares the pet's walking location to form a network between pets, and tracks the pet's movement, not the human's movement, Rather than tracking walks, it allows you to track your pet's movements.

Figure 2 is a block diagram for explaining the network service providing server included in the system of Figure 1, and Figures 3 and 4 illustrate an embodiment of the pet walking network service according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is a drawing for this purpose.

Referring to FIG. 2, the network service providing server 300 includes a registration unit 310, a walking amount measurement unit 320, a confirmation unit 3300, an emotion output unit 340, an emotion display unit 350, and an abuse detection unit ( 360), a walking classification unit 370, a point linking unit 380, a tracking display unit 390, a dog bite accident prevention unit 391, and a walking education unit 393.

Referring to FIG. 2, the registration unit 310 can receive registration of a companion animal from the user terminal 100. The user terminal 100 can register a companion animal and input a walk event and end event. One embodiment of the present invention may consist of two embodiments. The first embodiment records a walking history using the user terminal 100, and the second embodiment records a walking history using a wearable device connected to the user terminal 100, that is, using GPS and emotional data collected from the wearable device. It records walking history including quantitative and emotional data. Although the second embodiment is the main embodiment of the present invention, the first embodiment is used as a backup means to record the walking history in cases where it is difficult for users to have a wearable device or when they forget to wear it.

When a walking event is output from the user terminal 100, the walking amount measuring unit 320 may monitor the walking amount by turning on the GPS of the user terminal 100. At this time, if the wearable device further includes GPS, the amount of walking can be measured using the GPS of the wearable device. In the case of a dog, unlike a human's walking pattern, the dog moves from pillar to post, for example, from tree A to tree B, from tree B to pole C, or from pole C to pole D. Accordingly, assuming a person walks in a straight line, the dog is likely to move zigzagly or point-to-point. When tracking a person's GPS, you can see exactly how much exercise the dog has done and what patterns the dog has. It is impossible to track whether you walked by. Accordingly, in the above-described second embodiment, that is, when the wearable device includes GPS, the dog's walk is recorded using the GPS of the wearable device rather than the GPS of the user terminal 100. At this time, recording a person's walk and a dog's walk together can be an interesting element, so if the user terminal 100 is used as an AP that transmits data from a wearable device, the GPS of the user terminal 100 records the person's movement. As a route, it is also possible to set the wearable device's GPS to the dog's moving route and compare and display the two routes.

Dogs and their owners live as family in the same house, but the world each person experiences is very different. This is because dog owners experience most of the world through their sense of sight, while dogs experience much of the world through their sense of smell. This results in the dog owner not feeling the need to go for a walk often for the dog, and thus delaying the walk. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, synesthesia of sight and smell can be used. The dog's olfactory information can be sensed in real time by the CO2 sensor of the wearable device, and the mood can be indicated through changes in the color of the LED mounted on the wearable device, and information about specific ingredients can be transmitted to the application. As a result, dog owners can visually see what kind of olfactory experience their dog is having, allowing them to empathize more with their dog. This will soon lead to empathy for the dog's walking experience, which can lead to more regular walks.

<Smell information>

Data on the positive and negative emotions related to the smell measured with the pulse sensor during the walk are transmitted to the dog owner's application. At the point where the carbon dioxide detection rate curves of the pulse sensor and the CO2 sensor both increase, the dog's pulse response due to the sense of smell is detected differently from other places, and the olfactory POI (Point of Interest) point can be identified. When such POI data is accumulated, information about the amount of olfactory stimulation that evokes good feelings in the dog, its ingredients, and its route is created, and this is visualized and delivered through the dog owner's application. When a dog's heart rate is stressed, the heartbeat interval becomes constant. Based on this, the pulse sensor can be used as the basis for emotional values regarding the sense of smell. You can determine the dog's exercise status based on the amount of movement of the dog detected by real-time location-based service and the pulse rate detected by the pulse sensor. Changes in the waveform appear as a result of the dog's reaction to this olfactory information.

Before going for a walk, dog owners can input their dog's basic information and receive recommendations for exercise amount and walking route based on the dog's breed and weight. Details of the walking route include where other dogs gather and what scents you can smell. And on the first main tab, the smells that the dog likes and dislikes are written, and through this, the dog owner can indirectly experience the dog's olfactory experience. Since the time and route of a dog walk are mostly determined by the dog owner's free time, there are other dog owners in the neighborhood who often encounter each other. The ability to enjoy walks with these dog owners can be provided to local communities. Dog owners can know the real-time location of other dog owners while walking and can meet and build friendships with other dog owners by sending text messages. Through the offline expanded platform service, the dog owner accumulates points by discarding dog waste generated during a walk into the trash can of the platform (tentative name, Munt Walk) of the present invention or completing a nose walk, which is accumulated at an affiliated pet store or in the village. It can be used in hospitals. When you complete a walk, you can see the score of today's walk, and you can see data about what scent your dog smelled and how it felt, and the smell and exercise status data will be reflected in the next walk route. Dog owners can look at the score of today's walk and objectively know what kind of walk it was for their dog.

<Odor sensor>

CO2 sensor to measure what the dog smells, pulse sensor to measure the dog's heartbeat, GPS sensor to determine real-time location, Bluetooth to transmit each information to the dog owner's smartphone, if the dog is not exercising too much. A vibration sensor is needed to immediately notify of a time or emergency situation, and a method of connecting to Arduino can be used to drive it. Areas where a dog's heartbeat can be measured include the temporal, carotid, apex, brachial, radial, femoral, and dorsal pulses. Various types of designs can be created considering the pulse measurement area.

When an end event is output from the user terminal 100, the confirmation unit 330 may end monitoring the amount of walking and determine the amount of walking. At this time, in the case of the second embodiment, the amount of walking can be determined using the GPS path of the wearable device, and in the case of the first embodiment, the amount of walking can be determined using the GPS path of the user terminal 100, not the wearable device. . At this time, the amount of walking can be determined depending on the distance. Since the amount of walking that can be afforded varies depending on the size of the dog, it is also fair to give more points for walking a lot without considering the size, characteristics, or age of the dog. may be contrary to

For example, a 2 km walk may be enough for a Maltese as a small dog, but a 10 km walk for a Jindo dog as a medium-sized dog may not be satisfactory. Also, in the case of older dogs, it can be said that they get enough exercise with just a 5-minute walk, but for young dogs (3-4 months to 3 years old), even if they walk for 5 hours, their energy may not be fully discharged. In addition, it may vary depending on the characteristics of the species. For dogs in the Sporting group, at least 1 hour of walking is sufficient, for dogs in the Toy group, indoor activities are sufficient, and for dogs in the Working group, 2 hours of moderate or higher intensity walking is sufficient. Exercise for more than an hour, for the Herding group, at a high intensity for more than 1.5 hours, for the Terrier group, a walk of more than 30 minutes, for the Hound group, the amount of exercise varies depending on the dependency on sight and smell, and for the Non-Sporting group, the dog breed. Each is very different, with different characteristics and different intensities and durations. Accordingly, it is also possible to set the amount of walking according to intensity (speed), time, and distance for each dog breed, age, weight, and gender, assign a percentage for this, and give points according to the percentage. At this time, Table 1 is a table summarizing the dog breeds for each group.

sporting group Retriever, spaniel, pointer, setter dog breeds. Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel toy group Maltese, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, Toy Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Pekingese, Papillon, Pug, etc. working group Doberman, Rottweiler, Samoyed, Saint Bernard, Siberian Husky, Malamute, Boxer, Mastiff, Akita, Cane Corso, Pinscher herding group Shetland Sheepdog, Border Collie, Welsh Corgi, German Shepherd terrier group The terrier group includes Russell terriers, bull terriers, miniature schnauzers, and white terriers. hound group Greyhound, Afghan Hound, Borzoi, Saluki, Whippet non-sporting group Boston Terrier, Poodle (miniature/standard), French Bulldog, Bichon Frize, Dalmatian, Chow Chow, Shar Pei, Coton de Tulear, Lhasa Apso, Shiba Inu

When the wearable device is registered and connected to the user terminal 100 based on IoT, the emotion output unit 340 interprets the data collected from the wearable device via the user terminal 100 to determine the amount of walking and the pet's emotions. Status can be output. At this time, the wearable device may use, for example, Petpuls™, but is not limited to that device. At this time, using Pet Pulse, the platform (Montwork) of the present invention collects the actual dog's activity level and emotional state, and based on the activity level and emotional data, scalability of shopping, social network formation, education, donation, etc. within the platform is provided. can continue.

Wearable devices that recognize emotions use various sensors to recognize emotions, and can be broadly divided into voice-based, biometric information-based, and image-based. In the case of dogs, if you interpret information such as the period, rhythm, pitch, and strength of the "panting" sound in addition to the barking sound, you can distinguish whether the dog is making a "panting" sound in a happy and excited state or in a state of anxiety and fear. In addition, in the case of video-based methods, it is possible to distinguish a dog's motion, for example, body language. If a dog barks, but puts its front paws down, raises its buttocks, and wags its tail, it can be interpreted that it is a signal to "play" and is not in a scared or fearful state. . In the case of biometric information, heart rate is most often used to determine the level of excitement depending on whether the heart rate is rising or falling. At this time, [pet sound-emotion]. When datasets such as [pet video-emotion] and [biological data-emotion] are built and the dataset is learned and verified through artificial intelligence algorithms, emotions can be identified based on the sound, video, and biometric data of the pet. You can. At this time, in order to convey human emotions to a companion animal, the reverse process can be learned and verified. For example, in order to express a person feeling sad to a dog, [human language - emotions - pet sounds] can be used. When a dog bites a person's hand, it hurts. The person uses the human communication method of yelling "It hurts!" or "Don't do that," but it is unlikely that the pet will understand. Therefore, when changing to [human language - pain (emotion) - pet sound], the effect appears immediately. In the case of dogs, they express that they are in pain with the sound of "kegaeng". When the user says "it hurts" in a situation saved as [pain (human language) - pain (emotion) - keegaeng (pet sound)]. , this is classified as an emotion called pain, and a sound effect can be output as a dog sound called “kkagaeng”. In this way, two-way communication between humans and animals can be possible, going further than one-way communication where humans know the emotions of their pets.

When outputting the emotional state of a pet, the emotion display unit 350 overlays the position tracked by GPS after the walking event is output onto the walking course on the map, and displays the changed emotional state at the location at the time when the emotional state changes on the walking course. It can be displayed as an icon. Among companion animals, dogs are alert, suspicious, threatened, anxious, angry, peaceful, stressed, and respectful, as well as excited and aroused. , it was revealed that there are emotions such as pain and satisfaction, likes and dislikes, fear and anxiety, shyness and suspicion, anger and affection. Compared to humans, they have the intelligence and emotions of a 2- to 3-year-old. Although they do not have complex emotions like adults, they express quite a variety of emotions. Accordingly, when the emotions felt on the walking course are displayed as anxiety, caution, satisfaction, good, etc., the user can determine where his or her pet got pleasure from and liked it through the walking history.

The abuse detection unit 360 uses at least one sensor data collected from the user terminal 100 to distinguish means of transportation including walking, bicycles, kickboards, motorcycles, subways, buses, and cars, and uses the user terminal 100 ), after outputting the walking event, if sensor data corresponding to the means of transportation is collected, monitoring of the amount of walking can be stopped. The walk classification unit 370, when it is determined to be a walk as a result of analyzing at least one sensor data collected from the user terminal 100, can distinguish whether it is a walk according to a pet walk or a walk other than a pet walk. You can.

Recently, a walking application called Pied Piper was released. This application records walking logs even at speeds and patterns that are impossible when walking on the subway, bus, car, kickboard, or bicycle. In this way, the case where only points are earned as if the user had taken a walk even though he or she did not go for a walk is called abusing. To prevent such abusing, speed, acceleration, pattern, gait, walking pattern, etc. are identified to determine whether the user is walking and whether the user is walking. It can be used to distinguish whether a person is walking alone or with a pet. When a person walks alone, he or she rarely stops in between, but when walking a dog, he or she keeps stopping randomly to smell and mark each tree. After learning these patterns, it can be set to determine whether the user is walking alone or with a pet and monitor the amount of walking only when the user actually walks.

The point linking unit 380 pays points corresponding to the amount of walking to the account of the user terminal 100 when the amount of walking is measured, and processes payment with points when purchasing or using a pre-registered pet product or service. You can. When registering a companion animal from the user terminal 100, the tracking display unit 390 registers the face image of the companion animal, outputs a walk event from the user terminal 100, and displays GPS information until the end event is output. Depending on the corresponding position, the pet's face image can be displayed as a thumbnail.

When a walking event starts from the user terminal 100, the dog bite accident prevention unit 391 operates the camera of the user terminal 100 to receive streaming video captured in front in real time and detects a preset dog bite accident. If an image or motion of an animal that is identical to the image or motion of a similar animal is detected, a guide may be provided to the user terminal 100 to stop or walk while holding the pet. The dog bite accident prevention unit 391 may transmit a signal to the user terminal 100 to sound a warning message or sound when it detects that a person is approaching or is about to touch the image input through the camera.

There are two main types of dog bite accidents. One is when the owner of dog A is walking dog B and does not see dog C or greets dog C to get closer to dog C, and dog C bites dog B, or vice versa. This is the case. The other case is when dog owner A is walking dog B when person D approaches and dog D is bitten. They ask the dog owner to have the dogs greet each other, but even the dog owner doesn't know whether his dog wants to say hello or wants to bite another dog, that is, to hunt. Also, person D is much larger than dog B and poses a threat to dog B.

Accordingly, the other dog filmed is in a low crawling posture and glaring (a characteristic behavior (motion) of dogs before catching prey), another dog is approaching, or another person is approaching and reaching out to touch it. When captured by YOLO (You Only Look Once), you can prevent the approach of other people or other animals by immediately using the speaker of the user terminal 100 and saying “Do not come” or maximizing the alarm sound. Since there are many cases in which people do not listen to the voice saying "Do not approach," a warning light, such as a siren sounding in conjunction with an LED, is displayed or a warning sound is output to make the other person hesitate, and then the user is instructed to hold the dog and walk or block it. (Blocking) Guide can be given.

The walking education department 393 registers a lead line containing a tension sensor in the user terminal 100, and when the tension data received from the lead line via the user terminal 100 exceeds a preset value, A guide may be provided to the user terminal 100 to stop or hold the lead line short. Dogs have better moving vision than normal vision, so they are more sensitive to moving objects. Dogs that pull hard on the lead and try to get where they want to go often end up barking and lunging at motorcycles, kickboards, people running, bicycles, and even cars. People who run on motorcycles, kickboards, or bicycles should be prevented from running and barking because dogs can often lose their balance and fall momentarily if they lunge and bark in a threatening manner. There are many cases where you just watch them being dragged around as they please, barking at other dogs, or running into motorcycles or kickboards. Accordingly, a tension sensor that detects pulling on the leash is linked to the leash, and when a preset force is detected by linking the user terminal 100 with IoT, the user terminal 100 snaps the wrist to pull the leash. We can provide guidance.

Alternatively, when training a dog, the lead leash is snapped and snatched so that the dog can focus on the owner again, and the dog is trained to stop barking at other motorcycles, kickboards, cars, etc., and a mechanical device is used to prevent the dog from barking when the tension is above a preset value. It is also possible to configure the dog to automatically pull the leash with an impulse in the opposite direction to the direction the dog is pulling, so that walking training can be done automatically without a person having to respond individually by snapping. At this time, the lead rope is connected to the person and the dog respectively, and when tension is detected in the pulley wrapping the rope, a spring or the like can be used to temporarily move the pulley itself in the opposite direction to which the force is applied. Of course, various mechanical devices may exist in addition to the methods described above.

Additionally, in addition to the tension sensor, the leash further includes a solar panel, a light emitting device, and an illuminance sensor, and when the illuminance is below a preset value, the leash itself is illuminated with a light emitting device using the electric energy generated and charged by the solar panel. By letting it out, you can let others know that your dog is approaching, even in the dark of the night. In addition, dog bite accidents have been frequently reported in the news recently, and people who do not clean up dog feces or urine properly are causing arguments or fights when going out for a walk, leading to constant disputes that reach the Supreme Court. Accordingly, the user terminal 100 starts voice recognition after outputting the walking event, and among the recognized voices, if it is not the user's voice utterance, a preset keyword is recognized or the emotion "angry" is expressed in the voice recognized through voice recognition. ", etc., by recording or starting recording, it can be used as evidence when the user later needs to make a statement as a victim.

<Smart leash>

You can also use a leash that can measure biometric data and GPS at once. An integrated module can be implemented that links the AD8283 sensor for heart rate measurement, the DHT11 sensor for temperature and humidity measurement, and the SparkFun M8Q GPS sensor for location coordinate measurement. In addition, by applying the HC06 Bluetooth-based wireless communication method, data can be measured and collected in real time. The AD8232 sensor is an integrated signal conditioning block-based sensor for ECG and other biopotential measurement applications. Adapted for heart rate measurement, it is designed to extract, amplify, and filter small biopotential signals under noisy conditions, such as those generated by motion or remote electrode placement. Because the AD8232 sensor can implement a two-pole high-pass filter to remove motion artifacts and electrode half-cell potentials, it is tightly coupled to the instrumentation structure of the amplifier, allowing both large gain and high-pass filtering in a single stage, saving space and cost. It is efficient in that respect.

AD8382 linked to the integrated module features a fast recovery circuit, enabling rapid response to data collisions. This means that because the cutoff frequency used in the high-pass filter in ECG applications is low, it can take several seconds to process the signal. Therefore, the fast recovery feature connects the output of the instrumentation amplifier to a window comparator, which detects saturation at the output of the instrumentation amplifier when the voltage approaches 50 mV on the supply rail. The DHT11 sensor can collect the user's environmental status by measuring temperature and humidity. The user must be at least 150 cm tall, but the dog, even a large dog, is never taller than 1 m. The shorter you are, that is, the closer you are to the ground, the more you feel high temperatures. To measure this more precisely, the DHT11 sensor can measure temperature and humidity with a calibrated digital signal output. It uses digital signal acquisition technology and temperature and humidity detection technology to ensure high reliability and stability. In particular, the DHT11 sensor contains a resistive humidity measurement component and an NTC temperature measurement component and can be connected to a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller, providing excellent quality, fast response, anti-interference capabilities and cost-effectiveness. Depending on the length of the connection cable, an appropriate pull-up resistor can be selected and used. Basically, for measurements at short distances, a 5K pull-up resistor is used.

SparkFun M8Q GPS sensor is a high-quality GPS board with stable components for data measurement. The GPS sensor applied to the integrated module is a 72-channel GNSS receiver that can receive signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. Therefore, the precision of measurement data is improved, locking time is shortened, and the built-in rechargeable battery allows GPS to be unlocked in seconds with backup power. Additionally, the u-blox receiver supports I2C, so it is fully compatible with Qwiic compatibility, eliminating the need to use a UART port. The SparkFun M8Q GPS sensor is equipped with an onboard rechargeable battery that powers the RTC, shortening the time from cold start (~30 seconds) to hot start (~1 second). Additionally, the battery can maintain RTC and GNSS orbit data without being connected to a power source for a sufficient period of time, allowing GPS measurements over extended periods of integrated module use.
