Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Recently, with the rapid growth of family raising animals, the companion animal is becoming a very valuable person, not just an animal, but a companion. In other words, companion animals, which are the most natural, able to communicate with humans, communicate with warm minds, are now a member of family members, and the demand for companion animals is rapidly increasing as they are living together in the indoor space.
As a result, people are taking a lot of efforts, including bringing their companion animals to the hospital to take care or prevent them, take them to the hairdressers, clean their hair, and take a walk every day. In other words, people will grow up with all their qualities and money, and they will feel like a child.
In this connection, it is often the case that a close animal takes out a companion animal, but on the contrary, it often occurs that a companion animal can not be taken out to a specific place for a long time.
Especially, since modern people have many people living alone and dual-income families, there are many cases where the companion animals remain at home while people are at work. In other words, since the lives of contemporaries are frequently left out in vacant houses due to frequent outing, the emotional problems of companion animals such as separation anxiety are emerging as domestic problems. Companion animals, such as dogs or cats, are susceptible to stress by becoming stressed and depressed.
In addition, as the number of companion animals grows day by day, and the market for related products and devices is expanding, various types of food service machines are being designed. The most typical example is an automatic feeder that has built-in timers and automatically feeds a predetermined amount of food at a fixed time. Recently, devices that can remotely control feeding devices by using a PC or a smart phone anytime and anywhere with built-in wired / wireless Internet function in a food service machine are being introduced.
In this situation, when the owner of the companion animal is out of the house, it is requested to confirm the condition of the companion animal and to protect the companion animal as if it were by providing frequent contact with the companion animal and the owner.
In addition, it is urgent to introduce information and communication technology (ICT) devices that communicate with companion animals at any time and at any time.

In addition, the
The number of colors that a dog or a cat can recognize is less than that of a person. In general, there are cone cells in the retina of the eye that distinguish the colors. Humans have three cones that recognize red, green, and blue light, recognizing most colors, whereas companion animals such as dogs and cats have few visual cells for red and green. That is, a dog has only two things that recognize yellow and purple light.
On the other hand, dogs and cats are excellent in fuselage vision (ability to identify fast-moving objects), and it is possible that when you look at the image on a regular monitor, the screen looks cut off.
Currently, analog broadcasting is 30 frames (30 frames) per second, and digital terrestrial broadcasting is 60 frames (60 times / sec). Conical cells in humans can not recognize this level of change, but they accept images as continuous, but dogs can perceive 70-80 changes per second, so that still images can feel as if they are moving fast Rate 70 to 80 times per second).
In other words, a companion animal needs to have a display device for a companion animal because it has little visual cells for red and green and recognizes a frame rate higher than 60 frames per second, which is the video rate of a general monitor .

The present invention having such a configuration as described above enables the owner to use the smart device from outside to view the current state of the companion animal through the video conversation while viewing the face with the companion animal in the house anytime and anywhere via the Internet, even if the companion animal is left alone at home. As well as being able to share intimate rapport.
In addition, the present invention is also capable of realizing an animal IoT (Internet of Things) by providing a channel through which a companion animal can make a telephone call to an external owner, thereby enabling a full two-way video call (Face to Pet).
Accordingly, the present invention is convenient for many people who raise a companion animal to solve the anxiety that is common when the companion animal goes out at home, and to call the companion animal whenever they want to see the companion animal from the outside.
In addition, the present invention has the effect of preventing anxiety and stress which may occur when the companion animal is alone at home for a long time.
The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate rather than limit the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
The scope of protection of the present invention should be construed according to the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope of equivalents should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
