The wearable device 10 is worn on a dog, senses a bio-signal of the dog, expressed according to emotion of the dog, and transmits the detected bio-signal to the management server 40, and manages the position of the dog by associating with the user terminal 20.

The management of the position of the dog is carried out by outputting a predetermined voice to the dog so that the distance between the dog and the user in the open field can be maintained within a preset distance, for example, within a Bluetooth pairing enabled state, Or delivering the position of the dog to the user terminal 20.

2 to 5, the wearable device 10 includes a bio-signal detection unit 11, a position management unit 12, a data transfer unit 13, a wireless communication unit 14, a status display unit 15, And a device control unit 16.

The bio-signal detecting unit 11 detects a bio-signal signal according to the emotion state of the dog. One bio-signal detecting unit 11 may be installed in a dog, but a plurality of dogs may be provided according to the size of the dog.

Normally, a dog changes physical sensation according to its sensitivity. For example, heart beats may be different from each other depending on emotions, and emotions may include various emotional states such as pain, hunger, stress, anxiety, and fear.

The biosignal sensing unit 11 senses a bio-signal of the dog, for example, heartbeat, which changes according to emotion of the dog.

The position management unit 12 manages the position of the dog so that the distance between the dog and the user is maintained within a predetermined set distance.

The location management unit 12 includes a short range wireless communication unit 121, a communication distance measurement unit 122, an audio output unit 123, and a GPS module 124. [

The short-range wireless communication unit 121 performs short-range wireless communication with the user terminal 20. As the short-range wireless communication unit 121, a Bluetooth module may be employed.

Typically, the Bluetooth module communicates at a distance of, for example, 15 meters or less, and maintains the pairing state. In this case, the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 can be measured based on the strength of the signal during the Bluetooth communication of the short range wireless communication unit 121.

The communication distance measuring unit 122 measures the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 during short distance wireless communication between the short range wireless communication unit 121 and the user terminal 20, It is determined whether or not the distance is equal to or greater than the distance

That is, when the short range wireless communication unit 121 maintains the pairing state with the user terminal 20, the communication distance measuring unit 122 measures the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 based on the signal intensity, It is determined whether or not the distance between the wireless communication unit 121 and the user terminal 20 is equal to or greater than the set distance.

When the communication distance measuring unit 122 determines that the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 is equal to or larger than the set distance, the voice output unit 123 outputs a predetermined voice, for example, And outputs a voice.

Here, the call voice in which the user finds the dog is stored in advance. This allows the companion to recognize that the user is looking, and to use the sense of smell and hearing to find the user.

The GPS module 124 determines that the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 is equal to or greater than the set distance by the communication distance measuring section 122 or the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 Is out of the Bluetooth communication range and the Bluetooth communication becomes impossible, the position of the dog is measured.

The data transfer unit 13 transfers the voice of the dog to a wired external device. A universal serial bus (USB) may be employed as the data transfer unit 13. Here, the external device may include the user terminal 20.

For reference, when USB is adopted as the data transfer unit 13, power for operating the wearable device 10 can be supplied via the USB.

The wireless communication unit 14 performs wireless communication with the management server 40 or the user terminal 20 and transmits the biometric signal sensed by the living body signal sensing unit 11 to the management server 40 or the user terminal 20 .

The state display section 15 visually displays the operation state of the wearable device 10 or the state of the dog. As the status display unit 15, an LED (Lighting Emitting Diode) may be employed. That is, the status display unit 15 is lit in different colors according to the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20. For example, when the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 is within a set distance And lights up in red if the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 is equal to or greater than the set distance.

In addition, the state display section 15 is lit in red when the heart rate of the dog is included in the predetermined abnormal heart rate, and lights in blue when the heart rate is included in the predetermined normal heart rate.

The status display unit 15 is lit in green when the wearable device 10 operates abnormally.

The wearable device control unit 16 transmits the bio-signal sensed by the bio-signal sensing unit 11 to the management server 40 and the dog's care device 30 and controls the position management unit 12 to calculate the distance Is maintained within the set distance.

That is, the wearable device control unit 16 controls the bio-signal sensing unit 11 to sense the bio-signals of the dog, and transmits the bio-signals to the management server 40 and the dog care device 30.

Also, the wearable device control unit 16 controls the short range wireless communication unit 121 to perform Bluetooth communication with the user terminal 20 outdoors. In this case, the wearable device control unit 16 controls the communication distance measuring unit 122 to measure the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 and determine whether the measured distance is equal to or greater than the set distance.

In this case, when it is determined by the communication distance measurement unit 122 that the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 is equal to or larger than the set distance, the wearable device control unit 16 controls the voice output unit 123, For example, letting the user output a voice to search for a dog.

If the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 is greater than or equal to the set distance by the communication distance measurement unit 122, the wearable device control unit 16 controls the GPS module 124 to control the wearable device 10, And transmits the detected position of the wearable device 10 to the user terminal 20. [ In this case, the user terminal 20 outputs the position of the wearable device 10 through the voice output unit 123 or outputs the position of the wearable device 10 by using the image so that the user can recognize the position of the current dog do. In addition, when the distance between the wearable device 10 and the user terminal 20 exceeds the allowable Bluetooth communication distance and the Bluetooth communication becomes impossible, the wearable device controller 16 controls the GPS module 124 to detect the position of the dog , And transmits the position of the detected dog to the management server 40. In this case, the management server 40 transfers the position of the dog to the user terminal 20, which is transmitted from the wearable device control unit 16, and the user terminal 20 outputs the position of the dog, do. In this case, the user terminal 20 outputs the position of the dog, or warns that the position of the dog is above the set distance. Accordingly, the management server 40 and the user terminal 20 share the position of the dog.

In addition, the wearable apparatus control unit 16 compares the heart rate sensed by the living body signal sensing unit 11 with the normal heart rate in one template, and when the heart rate is included in the abnormal heart rate, the state display unit 15 is red And the status display unit 15 is turned blue when the heart rate is included in the normal heart rate.

In addition, the wearable device control unit 16 may operate in a sleep mode and a work-on mode (WorkOn Mode) in order to reduce battery consumption and communication cost. The wearable device control unit 16 operates the bio-signal detection unit 11 and the short-range wireless communication unit 14 in the work-on mode and operates in the sleep mode as the rest.

In the work-on mode, the wearable-component control unit 16 turns on the status display unit 15 in blue, and stores the measured heartbeat information as a template in a form of a heartbeat for every 60 seconds.

In the work-on mode, the wearable device control unit 16 transfers the measured biometric signal to the management server 30 or transmits the current positional information to the user terminal 20. In this case, when the wearable device control unit 16 recognizes that the measured wearable device is within the WiFi zone, it transmits the biometric signal to the management server 40 by using the WiFi network on a template basis. In addition, the wearable device control unit 16 compares the heart rate of the one template with the normal range heart rate information to determine whether the heart rate is included in the abnormal heart rate. If the heart rate is included in the abnormal heart rate, And the status display unit 15 is turned blue when the heart rate is included in the normal heart rate. Finally, the wearable device control unit 16 performs Bluetooth pairing with the user terminal 20 through the short-range wireless communication unit 14. At this time, if the user terminal 20 is at a set distance or more with the wearable device 10, The display unit 15 is turned on in red. In this case, the wearable-device control unit 16 transmits the GPS position information of the companion animal to the real-time server through the mobile communication network, and provides the transmitted position information to the guardian smartphone. At this time, it is possible to concentrate around the companion animal by providing the call voice of the protector in the wearable of the dog. On the other hand, when performing the Bluetooth pairing with the user terminal 20 via the short distance wireless communication unit 14, the wearable device control unit 16 controls the blue .

In addition, the wearable device control unit 16 operates the photographing unit 37 in the work-on or sleep mode according to the distance from the user terminal 20. That is, when the distance from the user terminal 20 is within the set distance, the wearable device control unit 16 controls the photographing unit 37 to be in the sleep mode. If the distance of the user terminal 20 is equal to or greater than the set distance, ) To the work-on mode.

The monitoring device 50 photographs a dog who wears the wearable device 10 and transmits the photographed image information to the management server 60. [ The image information photographed by the monitoring device 50 is used to generate behavior pattern information. The monitoring device 50 may be a CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) installed in a room.

When the biological information signal of the dog, that is, the heartbeat information is transmitted from the wearable device 10 or the image information of the dog 10 taken from the dog care device 30 is transmitted from the wearable device 10, To analyze the emotional state. It will be described later that the dog dog care device 30 shoots a dog and sends the photographed image information to the management server 40. [

5, the management server 40 includes a wireless communication module 41, a behavior pattern detection unit 42, a biological signal characteristic detection unit 43, a sensitivity detection unit 44, and a database unit 45.

The wireless communication module 41 performs wireless communication with the wearable device 10, the dog care device 30, and the monitoring device 50. That is, the wireless communication module 41 receives the biometric signal of the dog from the wearable device 10 and receives the image information of the dog 50 from the monitoring device 50.

The behavior pattern detector 42 analyzes the image information transmitted from the monitoring device 50 and detects a behavior pattern of the dog. Dogs take a variety of actions depending on their emotional state. That is, the emotional state of the dog is represented by the action of the dog, and the behavior pattern detector 42 analyzes the image information and detects the behavior pattern of the dog according to the emotional state of the dog. In this case, the behavior pattern detector 42 analyzes and classifies the emotional expression states of the dogs in the image information input from the monitoring device 50, and classifies them into standard characteristics of the biological signals.

The bio-signal characteristic detecting unit 43 analyzes the bio-signal transmitted from the wearable device 10 through the wireless communication module 41 and detects bio-signal characteristics of the dog.

In this case, the bio-signal characteristic detecting unit 43 detects the heart rate and heart beat variability using the heart beat information of the dog.

More specifically, the bio-signal characteristic detecting unit 43 measures the heart rate of the dog by analyzing the heartbeat information received from the wearable device 10.

That is, referring to FIG. 6, the bio-signal characteristic detector 43 detects the heart rate by performing spectrum analysis on the heartbeat information received from the wearable device 10. In this case, the heart rate outside the normal range can be derived, and the heart rate in the normal range (range) varies depending on the breed or age, and younger and smaller dogs may have higher heart rate. Typically, small dogs (75 to 80 times / minute), medium dogs (70 to 80 times / minute), and large dogs (60 to 75 times / minute) may correspond to normal heart rate. In this case, the normal heart rate can reflect the required adjustment value according to the companion animal.

Particularly, the bio-signal characteristic detector 43 calculates the heart rate using the heartbeat for every 60 seconds as one template. 11, the bio-signal characteristic detecting unit 43 detects a set number of peaks [0] to a peak [11] for calculating the heart rate, for example, , A Peak [0] array is assigned to a Peak [11] array, and a Peak [0] array is allocated to a Peak [11] In the process, the BeatCount is incremented by 1, initialized at 60 seconds, and allocated again from Peak [0] array. At this time, if the beat count is within the range of small dogs (75 to 80 times / minute), medium dogs (70 to 80 times / minute) and large dogs (60 to 75 times / minute) In addition, the bio-signal characteristic detector 43 sequentially stores the R-peak values assigned to the array according to the process of calculating the bit count and initializes the value of the array.

The number of arrays used in the process of calculating the heart rate was used as an optimization level of twelve dogs, but it can be changed depending on the type and situation of the companion animal. In addition, when the state is 0, an abnormal symptom is not found. If the state is 1, a watcher event may be generated to check the state of the dog. The bio-signal characteristic detector 43 stores a state and a bit count. After storing the state, the bio-signal characteristic detector 43 initializes the state and the bit count to 1. [ In addition, the bio-signal characteristic detection unit 43 stores each template in a separate graph form after one template process, and calculates the average RR interval, the longest RR interval, the minimum RR interval, the average heart rate, / Night, season), and the like.

In addition, the bio-signal characteristic detector 43 analyzes the heartbeat information received from the wearable device 10 and measures the heart rate of the dog. Here, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the heart beat variability of the dogs is a variation between one heart cycle and the next heart cycle, and the change in heart rate according to the variation characteristic of the R-R interval is quantified. Measurement of heart rate variability is manifested in various complex patterns such as a specific frequency waveform or heart rate per minute, and is one of the major bio signal indicators. Therefore, pattern analysis of heart rate variability can be used to observe the state of companion animals. As a method of analyzing heart rate variability, a frequency pattern analysis method can be applied. This is not a simple number of heart beats, but the interval between the time when the heart beat occurs and the R wave of the complex QRS waveform. The analysis of the R wave is derived as an R-R interval.

Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the heart beat of the dog can be detected by contacting the body sensor 11 with the actual dog, and the tachogram of the actually measured heart beat is as shown in FIG.

The emotion detection unit 44 detects the emotion of the dog by using the behavior pattern detected by the behavior pattern detection unit 42 and the bio-signal characteristics detected by the bio-signal characteristic detection unit 43. [ In other words, the emotion detecting unit 44 may detect the bio-signal characteristics of one template unit, for example, the average RR interval, the longest RR interval, the minimum RR interval, the average heart rate, And RR intervals, a minimum RR interval, and an average (average) of the template unit graph measured in real time by the bio-signal characteristic detecting unit 43 The emotion is detected by comparing the degree of similarity with the heart rate, the environmental classification (week / night, season), and the like. At this time, the emotion detecting unit 44 recognizes the set value, for example, the similarity degree of 85% or more at the initial setting as the same emotion. In this case, the degree of similarity can be updated by applying clinical big data and machine learning in the future.

In addition, the emotion detecting unit 44 transmits the emotion of the detected dog to the wearable device 10 so that the wearable device 10 can perform the operation according to emotion of the dog.

The database unit 44 stores control information of the management server 40. Such control information may include a behavior pattern detected by the behavior pattern detection unit, a biological signal characteristic detected by the biological signal characteristic detection unit, sensibility of the dog detected by the sensory detection unit, operation information transmitted from the dog care device, and the like. Thereby allowing the user to manage the history of the operation information and the like by using the user terminal 20. [

Figure 12 shows the emotional expression of the dog. Referring to FIG. 12, a dog dog expresses emotions with various behaviors or voices. The emotion detecting unit 44 detects various emotions of dog dogs using the image information and biological signal characteristics of the dog dog's behavior as described above can do.

Hereinafter, a process of analyzing the emotion of the dog by using the bio-signal characteristics of the subject according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 13, the wearable device 10 detects a bio-signal of a dog in step S310 and transmits the detected bio-signal, for example, heartbeat information, to the dog's care device 30 in step S320. In this case, the wearable device 10 analyzes the heartbeat information of the dog, stores the heartbeat for 60 seconds as one template, and analyzes the stored heartbeat information to detect the heartbeat number for 60 seconds. The wearable device 10 compares the heart rate with the normal heart rate to determine whether the heart rate is included in the abnormal heart rate. If the heart rate is included in the abnormal heart rate, the wearable device 10 lights up the red light and the heart rate is included in the normal heart rate The blue light is turned on.

On the other hand, the monitoring device 50 shoots a dog (S330), and transmits the photographed image to the management server 40 (S340).

In this case, the management server 40 detects emotion of the dog by using the bio-signal transmitted from the wearable device 10 and the image information transmitted from the monitoring device 50 (S350).

That is, the management server 40 detects the behavior pattern of the dog by using the image information of the dog.

Further, the heart rate information transmitted from the wearable device 10 is subjected to spectrum analysis to detect the heart rate. In this case, the management server 40 may separately detect the heart rate, but may use the heart rate detected by the wearable device 10 as it is.

In addition, the management server 40 detects the heartbeat variation of the dog by using the heartbeat information. That is, the management server 40 applies the frequency pattern analysis method to calculate the biological signal characteristics such as the average RR interval, the longest RR interval, the minimum RR interval, the average heart rate, the environment classification (week / Standard feature information is detected.

Subsequently, the management server 40 detects the emotion of the dog by using the behavior pattern detected by the behavior pattern detecting unit 42 and the biometric signal characteristics detected by the biomedical signal characteristic detecting unit 43, Standard feature information such as the average RR interval, the longest RR interval, the minimum RR interval, the average heart rate, the environmental classification (week / night, season), and the like are detected and detected (RR interval, minimum RR interval, average heart rate, environment classification (week / night, season), etc.) of the predetermined template characteristic graph and the similarity of the predetermined template characteristic graph.

14, the dog dog care device 30 includes a voice sensing unit 31, a state detecting unit 32, an operation performing unit 33, a display unit 341, a speaker 342, a feeding amount sensing unit 35 A received signal processing unit 36, a photographing unit 37, and a dog's eye care device control unit 39. [

The voice detection unit 31 detects the voice of the dog, for example, the voice of the dog.

The state detecting unit 32 stores emotions of the dogs according to the heartbeats or sounds of the dogs and then analyzes the heartbeats or sounds of the dogs to detect emotions of the dogs. That is, the state detecting unit 32 detects the emotion of the dog by analyzing the heartbeat information transmitted from the wearable device 10, or analyzes the voice of the dog detected by the voice detecting unit 31 do.

Here, the method in which the state detector 32 analyzes the heartbeat information and detects the emotion of the dog can be applied in the same manner as the method of detecting emotion of the dog in the management server 40 described above.

In addition, the state detecting unit 32 can detect the emotion of the dog by comparing the voice of the dog with the preset voice. That is, the voice according to emotion of the dog can be stored in advance as shown in FIG. 12, and compared with the voice of the dog detected by the voice sensing unit 31, and the emotion of the dog can be detected according to the similarity.

In this case, the state detecting unit 32 may use both emotion and voice of the dog to detect emotion of the dog, but either one of them may be used.

The operation performing unit 33 performs a predetermined operation matched with the emotion of the dog. The operation performing unit 33 includes a food feeding unit 331, an image processing unit 332, and a voice processing unit 333.
