[0072] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0073] With societal progress and improved living standards, pets are playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives. For many, pets are not just companions, but also emotional anchors and an integral part of life. The presence of pets enriches people's lives, adding a sense of happiness and fulfillment. However, how to properly and conveniently care for pets has become a pressing issue.

[0074] Prior to this invention, although the number of pets kept is constantly increasing, the disposal of feces during pet ownership has always been a major problem, and the lack of reasonable feces collection equipment has always been an important problem that needs to be solved.

[0075] This invention provides an intelligent pet feces collection method and system. This solution achieves fully automated pet feces collection to the greatest extent possible by setting an intelligent analysis method adapted to pet feces collection and combining it with adaptive pet feces collection criteria.

[0076] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a smart pet feces collection method is provided.

[0077] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an intelligent pet feces collection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] In one or more embodiments, preferably, the intelligent pet feces collection method includes:

[0079] S101. Install sensors in the pet feces monitoring system to generate and store real-time monitoring data;

[0080] S102. Set up intelligent pet feces collection;

[0081] S103. Obtain the monitoring data for the previous minute and determine whether there is a cat currently present;

[0082] S104. Automatically upload and remotely view the videos acquired by the pet feces monitoring system;

[0083] S105. Set an automatic cleaning mode, determine whether there is a cat, and automatically remove feces according to preset cleaning conditions, the cleaning conditions being mainly based on pressure changes;

[0084] S106. Set up an APP client on your mobile phone for remote targeted cleaning.

[0085] In this embodiment of the invention, the system monitor is set up. This monitor is mainly a sensor. In the process of setting up the sensor, there are two main types: the first type is a video sensor and the second type is a weighing device. These two sensing devices influence and cooperate with each other.

[0086] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the process of setting up a sensor in a pet feces monitoring system to generate and store real-time monitoring data in an intelligent pet feces collection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] like Figure 2 As shown, in one or more embodiments, preferably, the sensor of the pet feces monitoring system generates and stores real-time monitoring data, specifically including:

[0088] S201. Set up a camera to check if there is a pet above the current pet sandbox. If there is a pet, store it as 1; otherwise, store it as 0. Store this data in the pet presence data.

[0089] S202. Set up a pressure sensor to obtain the pressure under the pet sandbox and record the pressure at the current moment;

[0090] S203. Store the pressure and pet presence data according to time as monitoring data.

[0091] In this embodiment of the invention, the camera is set up as follows: First, a suitable camera is selected, ensuring it has sufficient resolution and a wide shooting range to capture the image above the pet sandbox. The camera is fixed in a suitable position, ensuring a clear view of the area above the pet sandbox. It is connected to a computer or other storage device to acquire image data captured by the camera in real time. The presence of the pet is recorded: Existing image processing algorithms are developed or used to detect the presence of a pet in the images captured by the camera. When a pet is present in the image, its presence is stored as 1; otherwise, it is stored as 0. Machine learning or computer vision techniques can be used to identify the presence of the pet, such as object detection algorithms or background subtraction algorithms. A pressure sensor is set up: A suitable pressure sensor is selected, ensuring it can accurately measure the pressure under the pet sandbox. The pressure sensor is installed under the pet sandbox so it can sense pressure changes caused by the pet's movements on the sandbox. The pressure sensor is connected to a computer or other storage device to acquire pressure data in real time. Pressure data is recorded: Using an appropriate programming language and hardware interface, code is written to read the data from the pressure sensor. The pressure data at the current moment is recorded for subsequent analysis. Storing Monitoring Data: Create a data structure or database to store pet presence and stress data. Store the pet presence and stress data for each moment in chronological order, forming a record of the monitoring data. Ensure the monitoring data is indexed by timestamps so that it can be queried and analyzed later. Through these steps, a system can be implemented to monitor whether a pet is above the pet sandbox and record the stress data experienced by the pet below the sandbox.

[0092] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the setup of an intelligent pet feces collection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, in one or more embodiments, preferably, the setting of intelligent pet feces collection specifically includes:

[0094] S301, The intelligent pet feces collection system includes at least one pet litter box;

[0095] S302. The intelligent pet feces collection system is equipped with a feces retrieval device. The size of the feces retrieval device is preset. The feces retrieval device needs to be made of mesh material, and the mesh diameter of the mesh material satisfies the first calculation formula.

[0096] S303. A feces collector needs to be installed under the pet litter box;

[0097] The first calculation formula is:

[0098] D>1.2×DM

[0099] Where D is the mesh diameter of the mesh material, and DM is the cat litter diameter.

[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, the steps for implementing intelligent pet feces collection are as follows: Prepare a pet litter box for placing pet feces. Set up a feces scooper, the size of which needs to be preset. This feces scooper should be made of a mesh material to ensure effective collection of pet feces. Determine the mesh diameter of the mesh material to meet the requirements of the first calculation formula. According to the first calculation formula, the mesh diameter D should be greater than 1.2 times the cat litter diameter DM. Set up a feces collector under the pet litter box to receive pet feces scooped from the feces scooper. Place the feces scooper in the pet litter box, ensuring that the mesh diameter meets the requirements of the first calculation formula. When the pet defecates in the litter box, the feces will enter the feces scooper through the mesh of the mesh material; in addition, the shape design of the feces scooper should facilitate direct scooping of feces. The following are some suggested optional shapes, including the following, the shape and size are set according to the needs, and the invention does not make specific limitations: Flat shovel shape: similar to a traditional shovel, this shape can be easily inserted under the litter box to scoop up feces. Mesh basket shape: Similar to a small basket, this design collects feces through the mesh while allowing litter to remain in the litter box. Spoon shape: A spoon-shaped design easily scoops feces from the litter box surface. Hook shape: A scooper with small hooks can be used to grab or remove larger clumps of feces. In general, when choosing a feces scooper, in addition to considering the shape, you should also ensure that its material is safe and harmless to pets and easy to clean and maintain. Furthermore, the size of the scooper and the mesh size should also be designed according to the first calculation formula to ensure that no feces are missed while effectively separating the litter.

[0101] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the process of acquiring monitoring data from the previous minute and determining whether a cat is present in a smart pet feces collection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, in one or more embodiments, preferably, acquiring surveillance data from the previous minute and determining whether a cat is currently present specifically includes:

[0103] S401. Obtain pet existence data, and determine if situation 1 does not occur within 1 minute, and the current pressure satisfies the second calculation formula, then consider that there are currently no cats;

[0104] S402. If the second calculation formula is not satisfied, it is considered that there is currently no cat (uncertainty).

[0105] The second calculation formula is:

[0106] F <Y

[0107] Where F represents pressure and Y represents the preset cat detection margin.

[0108] In this embodiment of the invention, a preset cat presence detection margin Y is defined; assuming Y = 10, it can be adjusted according to actual needs; pet presence data and stress data lists are initialized.

[0109] pet_presence_data = [], pressure_data = [], functions to simulate a camera detecting the presence of a pet.

[0110] The `detect_pet_presence()` function implements an algorithm for detecting the presence of pets via a camera. It returns 1 if a pet is present and 0 if not. It retrieves the current stress value (F) and sets up a main loop to continuously monitor pet presence and stress data. It then retrieves the current timestamp (in seconds), obtains pet presence and stress data, stores these data in a list, checks for pet presence within the past minute, and determines if a cat is currently present based on a second calculation formula.

[0111] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the automatic uploading and remote viewing of video acquired by a pet feces monitoring system in an intelligent pet feces collection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0112] like Figure 5 As shown, in one or more embodiments, preferably, the automatic uploading and remote viewing of videos acquired by the pet feces monitoring system specifically includes:

[0113] S501: Automatically uploads videos acquired by the pet feces monitoring system to a preset cloud platform;

[0114] S502. By setting up an APP client on your mobile phone, you can remotely view the videos obtained by the current pet feces monitoring system.

[0115] In this embodiment of the invention, in order to achieve remote monitoring, a remote viewing function is set up, including remote video monitoring via mobile phone or computer.

[0116] Figure 6 This invention relates to an intelligent pet feces collection method that includes setting an automatic cleaning mode, determining whether a cat is present, and automatically removing feces according to preset cleaning conditions, which are mainly based on a flowchart of pressure changes.

[0117] like Figure 6As shown, in one or more embodiments, preferably, the automatic cleaning mode is set to determine whether there is a cat and automatically remove feces according to preset cleaning conditions. These cleaning conditions are primarily based on pressure changes and specifically include:

[0118] S601. Set the automatic cleaning mode and start the automatic cleaning judgment every time the current cat presence changes to the current uncertain cat absence.

[0119] S602. When the automatic cleaning judgment is started, first analyze whether the third calculation formula is met. If it is met, then the automatic removal of feces in all areas will be performed.

[0120] S603. If the third calculation formula is not satisfied, determine whether the fourth calculation formula is satisfied at the current time. If it is satisfied, automatically remove feces; otherwise, do not process.

[0121] The third calculation formula is:

[0122] F2>F1+s

[0123] Where F1 is the average pressure in the catless state before the current cat is present, F2 is the pressure in the uncertain catless state, and s is the preset minimum fecal weight.

[0124] The fourth calculation formula is:

[0125] T-T0>D

[0126] Where T is the current time, T0 is the time of the last feces removal, and D is the preset time interval.

[0127] In this embodiment of the invention, the automatic feces removal process involves using a pre-set rake to clean the entire litter box only in the horizontal direction (X direction). After completing the horizontal cleaning, to ensure complete cleaning, the rake is then used to clean in the vertical direction (Y direction).
