In step 1710, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 according to an embodiment may detect surrounding information through the camera 1030 or lidar sensor while walking. For example, as described with reference to FIG. 15 , the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may identify a vehicle or a person as a forward object during a walk using the camera 1030 or lidar sensor. The companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may detect whether a vehicle, which is a front object, is approaching or another person is approaching while taking a walk. To this end, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may measure a distance between a front object (vehicle or person) and the companion animal 600 .

According to an embodiment, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may further detect ambient sound and ambient scent as well as detecting a front object. For example, since there is a sound of a frequency that can not be heard by humans but can be heard by dogs, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 can determine in real time whether a sound to which dogs can react sensitively is detected. In addition, since dogs have a very developed sense of smell compared to humans, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 can determine in real time whether a scent or smell to which dogs can react sensitively is detected.

In step 1720, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 according to an embodiment may detect a state of the companion animal 600 by using the camera 1030 during a walk.

For example, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may detect in real time whether the companion animal 600 performs the seven actions described with reference to FIG. 16 using the camera 1030 .

In step 1730, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 according to an embodiment may calculate a risk score based on surrounding information collected during a walk and the state of the companion animal 600. Here, the risk is that the companion animal 600 behaves aggressively, that the companion animal 600 unexpectedly behaves (eg, suddenly runs out), or that the companion animal 600 is likely to be hit by a vehicle. It can mean high and so on.

The relatively high risk score calculated by the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 means that a risk, accident, or incident related to the companion animal 600 during a walk is relatively high.

The companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may increase the risk score as the distance between the front object (vehicle or person) and the companion animal 600 is closer.

When the companion animal 600 is a dog, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may increase the risk score as a louder sound to which the dog can react sensitively is detected.

When the companion animal 600 is a dog, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may increase the risk score as a scent or scent to which the dog may react sensitively is detected.

The companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may set the risk score to a predetermined maximum value when the companion animal 600 takes an action before taking an aggressive action.

In step 1740, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 according to an embodiment may detect whether the risk score exceeds a designated threshold, and output a notification when the risk score exceeds the designated threshold.

The companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may set a risk score above a threshold value and output a notification when the distance between a front object (vehicle or person) and the companion animal 600 is within a specified distance. .

If the companion animal 600 is a dog, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 sets the risk score to a threshold value or higher when a sound to which the dog can react sensitively is detected with a specified intensity or higher, Notifications can be printed.

If the companion animal 600 is a dog, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 sets the risk score to a threshold value or higher when a smell or scent to which a dog can react sensitively is detected with a specified intensity or higher. and output notifications.

When the companion animal 600 takes an aggressive action, the companion animal management service convergence device 1000 immediately sets the risk score to a predetermined maximum value and outputs a notification.

The companion animal management service convergence device 1000 may output vibration and/or sound as a notification.

The companion animal management service convergence device 1000 outputs a notification, sets the tension of the leash to the maximum value, and prevents the leash from stretching, thereby preventing the companion animal 600 from suddenly acting unexpectedly. there is.

The companion animal management service convergence device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention detects factors and factors that may be threatening to the companion animal 600 in advance during a walk, outputs a notification about the danger, and also outputs a notification about the companion animal 600. ) can prevent safety accidents such as dog bites by detecting situations in which a person can pose a threat to others in advance.
