More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for preventing and preventing the loss of a companion animal using position information of a companion animal, and more particularly, to a device for detecting a position of a companion animal using a NFC tag and a Bluetooth 4.0 protocol- And transmitting the companion information and receiving the transmitted data to the smartphone to provide a notification function to the companion animal owner.
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a position of a companion animal through a beacon sensor attached to the companion animal and providing a notification to a user when the reference distance is out of order to prevent an accidental loss of the companion animal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a device using a beacon,

More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for supporting the accident of a companion animal using position information of a companion animal, and more particularly, to a device for detecting a lost companion animal by using a NFC tag and a Bluetooth 4.0 protocol based beacon sensor, And transmits the information and receives the transmitted data to the smartphone to provide a notification function to the owner of the companion animal.

Previously, losing a companion animal was somewhat limited in the way it could be found.

First, the way to attach leaflets with photo and features of companion animals to street lamps and electric poles is a problem because the animals are not well explained to the people who are not good on the road.

Second, you can use an Internet-based animal search site. However, it is unlikely that the discovery will find the lost owner difficult to retrieve the information they want on the web because they may not use the site because of the hassle and most of the sites are operated only in specific areas and are operated indiscriminately.

Thirdly, there are inventions which use position information recognition technology like the present invention to find companion animals. Conventional technology uses GPS (Global Positioning System). GPS is a position information receiving system using satellites, which has a wide range of recognition, but has the following disadvantages.

1. Processing speed is slow.

2. The error range is as large as 0.3 ~ 10m.

3. It can not be recognized indoors.

4. There is a limitation in using as a portable module that can communicate at all times because of high power consumption.

Public number / date 1020050087517 (Aug. 31, 2005) Tracking management system of protected object and its management method, 3. Public number / date 1020100049896 (2010.05.13) Invisible electronic fence system and its control method

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to grasp the position information of the companion animal through the sensor attached to the companion animal, And the like.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a device for recognizing an identification tag which enables the acquirer who finds a lost companion animal to confirm the information of the companion animal when a lost accident occurs.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is constructed and operated by the following devices.

The apparatus includes:

Necklaces that can be worn by companion animals;

A beacon sensor which is attached to a necklace and is suitable for always-on communication due to low power consumption based on Bluetooth 4.0 protocol for wirelessly transmitting position information and identification ID;

An NFC (Near Field Communication) tag attached to a necklace together with a beacon sensor and storing information such as the type of animal, sex, age, and owner's contact information, and transmitting information wirelessly;

A smartphone including an application which is carried by a learned person who finds the owner of the companion animal and the lost companion animal and is capable of receiving and processing data transmitted by the beacon sensor and the NFC tag and informing the user of the sound .

Beacon is a wireless communication device based on Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy) protocol. It is able to communicate with devices within 50m maximum, and its recognition error range is also 5 ~ 10cm and high accuracy. The power consumption is also very low, 1.5 ~ 2mW, making it suitable for portable terminal devices that require constant communication.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a non-contact, short-range wireless communication module that uses 13.56Mhz frequency band to transmit data between terminals at a distance of 10cm. It is recognized as a technology that leads the existing IoT era with relatively high security and low price.

The effect of the present invention is that when a companion animal wearing a necklace and a companion animal wearing a necklace fall below a standard distance in case of a lost accident of the companion animal, the owner can receive a notification through a smart phone carried and can respond quickly to a lost accident.

Another effect of the present invention is that the discoverer who discovers the companion animal can recognize the NFC tag possessed by the companion animal as a smartphone and can check the name of the companion animal, the owner's phone number, a brief note, You can be assured of support after a lost accident.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects,

1 is a representative view of the present invention.

2 is a block diagram of a necklace apparatus (reference numeral 300) including an apparatus for storing position information of companion animals, companion animal information, owner contact information, and the like in the present invention.

The necklace is composed of a beacon sensor (code 100) and an NFC tag (code 200).

3 is a block diagram of communication between a necklace apparatus (reference numeral 300) and a smartphone (reference numeral 400) in the present invention.

The beacon sensor (100) periodically transmits the position information and the identification ID to the smartphone (400). The NFC tag 200 is attached to the necklace together with a beacon sensor 100 as a sticker. The NFC tag 200 stores information such as the type, age, sex, and owner contact information of the animal. Further, the information can be transmitted to a smart phone (reference numeral 400) by proximity wireless communication. A smartphone (reference numeral 400) is a smartphone carried by the acquaintance who has found the owner of a companion animal and a lost companion animal, and receives, outputs, and processes data transmitted by a beacon sensor (code 100) and an NFC tag It includes possible applications, and it also includes a notification function in the form of sound, message, light, etc. to the portable user.

The beacon sensor periodically transmits location information, and the smartphone periodically receives data from the beacon sensor. If the beacon sensor and the smartphone are separated by more than the standard distance (50m), the smartphone can not receive the data transmitted by the beacon sensor, and if the data can not be received during the reference time, the smartphone provides a notification function to the owner of the companion animal.

The learners who found the lost companion animal in the event of a lost accident are placed close to the acquirer's smartphone with the NFC tag attached to the companion animal in the form of a necklace and recognize the information of the companion animal, the owner, etc. do. When the acquaintance recognizes the NFC tag with the smartphone, the acquiring position information is received from the GPS satellite through the GPS module attached to the smartphone. The owner of a lost companion animal receives information on the location and learning time of the lost companion animal through the notification function of the smartphone carried by the owner.
