In recent years, there have been devised devices capable of remotely controlling a feeding device by using a PC or a smart phone anytime and anywhere with built-in wired / wireless Internet function in a food service. In addition, a device has been devised so that the camera can be embedded in the food service machine so that the pet image of the house can be viewed anytime and anywhere via the Internet (Patent Registration No. 10-0397287, No. 10-0415155). However, In the case of such a feeder, a person can see the appearance of a companion animal, but since the companion animal can not see the owner, there is a slight lack of respect for the companion animal.

Among the products / services for companion animals, animal-only TV services also appeared in foreign countries. There are people who turn on the TV and go out because they are worried that the companion animal alone in the house will be lonely. However, the cable TV-based pet TV service is inconvenient because it requires a large TV to be turned on when a person leaves the house during the day, which is a waste of electricity and can not be turned on at a time when a person is watching TV.

In order to overcome the above-described problems, the present invention proposes a pet animal feeding machine capable of realizing a full interactive video call and a pet TV function by adding a display to a pet animal feeding machine, I want to. In this case, the additional display may be integrated into the animal feeder of the companion animal, or the animal feeder of the companion animal may be provided with an output terminal for connection to the display. If a commercially available monitor or TV is connected thereto, It is possible.

Since the present invention adds a display to a companion animal feeder having an Internet connection function with a built-in camera, a companion animal can also talk while watching an owner's face in an Internet video call, There is an advantage that the Internet contents can be broadcast at all times. In particular, the pet TV function allows the user to select or combine content suitable for his / her companion among the contents prepared on the server, thereby making it possible to make a broadcast on demand type, and it is possible to use a conventional cable TV based pet channel service , It is possible to reduce the burden of electric power waste and to operate commercial broadcasting and shopping mall through pet TV, thereby creating a new business model. In other words, by replacing part or all of the price of the product with advertising revenue, it is possible to reduce the financial burden of purchasing the product, thereby increasing the spread of the product. If the spread of the product increases, have.
