Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pet presence alert system, more particularly but not exclusively to an alert system that identifies and alerts pet owners or carers.
  • the present invention therefore arose to overcome the problems associated with knowing when a pet is waiting to be let in.
  • Granted United States patent US 7 085 534 discloses a wireless transmitter, comprising power source; a metal case divided into two or more electrically isolated sections.
  • Granted United States patent US 6 433 692 discloses an animal actuating signaling apparatus for a building having at least one room and one entranceway.
  • a pet presence alert system comprising: a scanner, a remote unit and an alarm, wherein, in use, the scanner is located in a location accessible by the pet and is arranged to identify a predetermined pet and to relay identification data concerning the location and/or status of a pet to the remote unit, the alarm is configured to provide an alert signal to a user (person) confirming the identity of the pet at the scanner location.
  • a predetermined pet is a pet specifically known to pet owner such as the owner's own pet.
  • the scanner is arranged to be programmed with identification characteristics of the predetermined pet.
  • the alert clarifies for the person which of their pets is near the location accessible by the pet.
  • the scanner includes antenna arranged to scan a radio frequency identification device (RFID) and electronics arranged to decode a signal from a RFID so as to scan and identify an RFID.
  • RFID radio frequency identification device
  • the scanner is mountable to a surface of a home such as a wall by an entryway, a post near an entryway, or an entryway door.
  • a pet simply has to approach an entryway to a home where the scanner is mounted and the scanner is arranged to scan the pet, detect the identification characteristics of the pet, and if the pet is a predetermined pet relay identification data to the remote unit.
  • the remote unit activates the alarm which provides an alert that identifies to the pet owner which of their specific known pets is at the entryway.
  • the pet presence alert system is equally capable of alerting a person inside the home that a specifically known pet inside the home is at the entryway as it is at alerting the person that a specifically known pet outside the home is at the entryway outside the home.
  • the scanner is simply located inside or outside the home accordingly.
  • the pet presence alert system is of particular advantage to pet owners with several pets. Using the pet presence alert system these pet owners receive an alert signal letting them know which of their specific known pets have arrived home, and thus these pet owner will be able to avoid opening the door for other animals in the area.
  • the pet presence alert system is of even more advantage to a blind pet owner with one or more pets.
  • the system is beneficial even if the pet owner has just one pet or one guide dog. Because of the alert signal provided to the blind person by the pet presence alert system the user is alerted to the fact that their pet is ready to enter their abode. This person cannot see their pet waiting at the entryway even if they open their door, but they can rely on the pet presence alert system to tell them that their pet is waiting to go out or come in. If a person has more than one pet, they may only want to open the door of their abode if a specific one of their known pet animals needs to come in or go out.
  • the pet presence alert system does this for the blind pet owner. Also many homes have wood or UPVC doors which are opaque. Even a sighted person cannot see through such a door. Therefore it is not possible to see their pet waiting to come in. Furthermore most people cannot hear a cat meow, especially if they have double glazing.
  • the pet presence alert system also comprises another remote unit to relay a corresponding alert to the person clarifying which specific known pet is near the abode. If the abode has several rooms or several floors remote units, then each room may have a remote unit.
  • the pet presence alert system comprises another scanner.
  • the other scanner is also mountable to a surface of the abode of the pet and the person.
  • the other scanner is also arranged to scan and read and recognise and be programmed to recognise the particular pets' radio frequency identification devices (RFID) of the known pet animals so as to identify specific pet animals living at the abode.
  • RFID radio frequency identification devices
  • the other scanner is also arranged to relay information corresponding to the recognized specific known animal to the remote unit or if there is more than one remote unit to all of them.
  • the remote unit(s) are arranged to relay a corresponding alert to the person clarifying which specific known pet animal is near the abode.
  • the scanner also relays to the remote unit(s) and which scanner has recognized the animal. So if there is one scanner located near a front door of the abode and another scanner located near a back door, the person receiving the alert from the remote unit is provided with information that the specific known animal has been encountered by the scanner at the front or back door.
  • This is a particular advantage to a blind person who may not actually be able to recognize which of their pets is at the entrance to their abode when they open the door. A blind person wants to know that they are opening the correct door and that a specific known pet will be at the entrance when they open that door.
  • At least one remote unit is arranged to operate as a remote control.
  • the remote unit comprises input and output devices operable by the person such as buttons and a character display so as to enable the person to program the scanner.
  • the alert provided by the alarm clarifies which specifically known pet is near the location accessible by the pet by relaying identification information regarding the animal scanned by the scanner. If an animal that is not one of the specifically known pets approaches the location then the scanner does not recognise the pet.
  • the pet presence alert system does not provide a pet owner with needless alerts if is an unknown animal loitering around the location. It is an advantage of the pet presence alert system that it can be programmed to provide an alert signal only if one of their own specifically known pet animals is at the location where the pet is scanned by the scanner. It obviates annoyance to pet owners by not bothering them with alert signals indicating that there are animals at the location that are not their own specifically known pet.
  • the said scanner is embodied in or carried on a surface-mounted microchip scanner, which scanner is mounted either temporarily in use or permanently to an exterior door or surface of a home or building, and the alert remote unit is a portable unit, wherein the scanner communicates with the unit, to trigger an alert when a recognised microchip is detected by the scanner.
