1 TARIFF SMART CABIN Technical Area The invention is primarily for feeding and / or capturing stray animals, including capturing and 5 It relates to the smart enclosure used for all animals that need to be fed. The invention is specifically an AI-powered animal recognition system that can feed stray animals. Thanks to this system, the desired species are captured using humane methods and reported to the relevant authorities. It relates to a smart cabin with an automatic door mechanism. 10 State of the Art Today, the control, treatment, and rehabilitation of stray street animals are crucial. The methods used to transfer animals to centers are both efficient and ensure animal welfare. 15 It has various shortcomings in terms of the process of capturing animals in current practices. It is usually carried out through direct human intervention. In this process, the animal is tracked. being pursued, chased, physically caught with a net or hook, and in some cases even Methods such as administering tranquilizer (drug) injections are being used. Common disadvantages of these methods include the high risk of stress and injury to animals. the possibility of the application failing, time loss, operational complexity, Factors such as the need for a large number of personnel and high costs are involved. Especially in high-density environments. These methods are suitable for areas with high pedestrian traffic, such as city centers, parks, and gardens. Its implementation is both impractical and raises various safety and ethical concerns due to environmental conditions. 25 This can lead to problems. Furthermore, existing systems are generally focused only on trapping, and the animals are not regularly and systematically cared for. It does not include integrated solutions to ensure that animals are fed under hygienic conditions. This situation both It reduces the quality of life of animals and also affects their health and behavioral status. 30 It has a negative impact. Many studies have been conducted today with the aim of capturing animals without harming them. And new structures have been developed. One of these studies is the one numbered TR 2022 / 009636 and titled “Harmful This invention is the subject of a patent application titled "Animal Live Capture Box". The invention is harmful 35 2 to catch animals or unwanted animals in homes and gardens without harming them It is a box designed to reconnect them with nature, thus avoiding harm to the natural cycle.

The invention in question is an animal trap designed to hold a relatively large number of animals inside. Includes enclosure. An entrance (pathway, etc.), from the enclosure to an automatic falling gate 10 It can be an extension or in the form of an enclosure with a door at each end. Along the entrance path At least one double-jointed trigger lever is fitted. This trigger lever moves towards the guard. when the gate is opened, that is, when the animals pass from the entrance through the gate towards the enclosure, the gate is closed It does not trigger. However, when the animals move in the opposite direction, the trigger lever(s) move towards the door. And at least one trigger lever closes the circuit, causing the door to drop and the trap to close. This 15 A trap is used to lure animals that move in herds, such as wild boars, into a trap where one of them turns back. Before turning and triggering the door, it will catch you as you pass from the entrance to the enclosure. It is structured in such a way that this system only works based on the direction of the animals and species differentiation. Because it catches all the animals without doing anything, certain species should be humanely selected and captured, and It does not meet a need for separation for rehabilitation purposes. 20 Another study is US12010984B2 and titled “Target Animal Capture System and Method”. This invention is the subject of a patent application titled [Patent Title]. This invention triggers a motion sensor. Whether the animal is the desired target animal is determined by taking photographs and identifying the target animal species. 25 intelligent devices that can identify images by performing image recognition in an image database containing images.
