The user outputs a voice or video praised by the training electronic device 100 or the image output device 400 through the terminal device 300 when the user stops the act of being the object of restraint through animal monitoring (S140). It may be instructed to (S145). Accordingly, a voice or an image complimented through the training electronic device 100 or the image output device 400 is output (S150).

7 is a flow chart showing another embodiment of the animal remote training method according to the present invention. Unlike FIG. 6, a method of training an animal to perform a specific action according to a command of a user of the terminal device 300 is illustrated. Animals can be remotely trained while monitoring animals to perform actions such as sitting, standing, paws out, and bringing in objects at the command of the user (trainer or owner).

Referring to FIG. 7, the terminal device 300 selects an animal to perform the animal remote training according to the present invention according to a user's request (S205), and the animal information of the animal and the image photographed by the photographing device 200. The output through the display unit 340 (S210).

In addition, the terminal device 300 instructs the training electronic device 100 or the video output device 400 to output a specific voice or a specific video gesture for training according to a user's request (S215). The indicated voice or image is output to the corresponding animal through the electronic device 100 or the image output device 400 (S220).

And if the animal does not do the user's intended behavior (S225), the terminal device 300 instructs the training electronic device 100 to apply a physical stimulus in response to the user request (S230), the training electronic device By generating the physical stimulus (pressure or vibration, etc.) indicated by 100 (S235), the animal may be induced to perform a specific action.

In addition, in order to enhance the animal training effect, the terminal device 300 outputs the training electronic device 100 or the image to output a complimentary voice or video when the animal performs an action intended by the user according to a user's request. The device 400 may be instructed (S240) to output a voice or image praised by the training electronic device 100 or the image output device 400 (S245).

8 is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the animal remote training method according to the present invention, which includes a step of checking whether the training is learned after performing the repetitive training learning step.

Referring to FIG. 8, when the terminal device 300 receives a specific training request for an animal from a user (S305), the training electronic device may simultaneously generate a voice or video output and a stimulus related to the training a predetermined number of times. 100) or by instructing the image output device 400 (S310), the animal to be trained may be repeatedly trained. The audio or video output and the stimulus generation by the predetermined number of times may be repeated at predetermined intervals.

In this way, after performing the training learning step (S310), when the terminal device 300 is requested to give a command from the user to check whether the training is learned (S315), the training electronic device 100 or the image output device In operation S320, the training electronic device 100 or the image output device 400 is instructed to output an audio or video commanded to the training. The commanded voice or video gesture corresponds to the same voice or video as the audio or video output in the training learning step.

Accordingly, when the indicated voice or image is output through the training electronic device 100 or the image output device 400 (S325), and the animal performs an action intended by the user within a predetermined time period (S330), In order to increase the effectiveness of the training, the terminal device 300 instructs the training electronic device 300 or the image output device 400 to output a voice or an image complimenting the animal (S340), and the complimentary voice or image is an animal. Can be output to (S345).

In addition, if the animal does not perform an action intended by the user when the instructed voice or image is output (S325), the terminal device 300 may perform the step (S310) again according to the user's request (S335). ).

The animal teletraining method according to the present invention can be implemented in software form readable through various computer means and recorded on a computer readable recording medium. Here, the recording medium may include program commands, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. Program instructions recorded on the recording medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention, or they may be of the kind well-known and available to those having skill in the computer software arts. For example, the recording medium may be magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tapes, optical disks such as Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM), digital video disks (DVD), Magnetic-Optical Media, such as floppy disks, and hardware devices specially configured to store and execute program instructions, such as ROM, random access memory (RAM), flash memory, and the like. do. Examples of program instructions may include machine language code such as those generated by a compiler, as well as high-level language code that may be executed by a computer using an interpreter or the like. Such hardware devices may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be apparent to those skilled in the art. In addition, although specific terms are used in the specification and the drawings, they are only used in a general sense to easily explain the technical contents of the present invention and to help the understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

According to the present invention, the user can remotely control the electronic device worn by the animal by using a terminal device while monitoring the animal through the photographing device, thereby training the animal to escape the space-time constraints necessary for training.

In addition, the owner of the animal can reduce the economic burden by training while monitoring the animal through communication at a distance without visiting the trainer.
