DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The scheme of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification.

[0023] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation rather than limitation, specific details such as specific system structures, interfaces, and technologies are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application.

[0024] The term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship. In addition, "many" in this article means two or more than two. In addition, the term "at least one" in this article means any combination of at least two of any one or more of a plurality of, for example, including at least one of A, B, and C, can mean including any one or more elements selected from the set consisting of A, B, and C.

[0025] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a flow chart of an embodiment of a pet environment monitoring method provided in the present application.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the present application provides a pet environment monitoring method, which is applied to a pet environment monitoring system. The pet environment monitoring system includes a terminal device, an intelligent control platform, an environment monitoring device, and pet-related equipment; the pet environment monitoring method is specifically applied to the intelligent control platform, and includes the following steps: S1: receiving the pet environment video collected by the environment monitoring device and sending it to the terminal device for presentation; S2: Receive control instructions for pet-related devices from the terminal device, and send them to the environment monitoring device, so that the environment monitoring device can send control instructions to the pet-related devices, thereby controlling the pet-related devices to complete corresponding operations; wherein the control instructions include a unique identifier of the pet-related devices.

[0027] Specifically, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an embodiment of a pet environment monitoring system provided in the present application.

[0028] Among them, the intelligent control platform can be deployed in the user's computer room or in a remote cloud, depending on the user's usage scenario and cost.

[0029] Users can access the intelligent control platform through a variety of terminals, including but not limited to: mobile terminals such as mobile phones, laptops, fixed terminals such as desktops or other smart devices. This allows users to remotely check the status of pets in a variety of environments when they are not at home or in the pet's room, and control pet-related devices in the pet's living environment, so as to achieve the purpose of intelligent companionship and feeding care.

[0030] The environment monitoring device can be connected to the network via wired or wireless means to communicate with the intelligent control platform. The environment monitoring device can be set up in the room where the user feeds the pet, such as on the roof, wall, table, etc., and can function as a normal camera while monitoring the pet, so that one device can serve two purposes.

[0031] Furthermore, the specific form of the environmental monitoring device can be a specially modified camera deployed separately, for example, a module that integrates a camera lens and more external control signal transceiver functions on a camera device, or a camera and a signal transceiver deployed separately, which are connected by wireless or wired networking. The specific choice depends on the cost and the applicable scenario.

[0032] Pet-related devices are connected to the environmental monitoring device through short-range, low-cost communication methods such as Bluetooth and infrared, so that control signals are forwarded to the pet-related devices through the environmental monitoring device, thereby controlling the start and stop of the pet-related devices and other operations.

[0033] It can be seen that the method of the present application combines the environmental monitoring device with the intelligent control platform, uses the intelligent control platform to extract the pet environment video collected by the environmental monitoring device, and while presenting it on the terminal device, it also sends control instructions to the pet-related equipment through the environmental monitoring device, thereby realizing remote monitoring while remotely controlling the various related equipment in the pet's living environment, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, users do not need to access different control systems separately, or use different apps to achieve this, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of operation. At the same time, since pet users only need to purchase an environmental monitoring device to control pet-related equipment, they do not need to purchase separately customized feeders with cameras, waterers with cameras, etc., which reduces the purchase cost and management cost of pet users.

[0034] Among them, pet-related equipment includes: pet feeding equipment, pet toy equipment, and environmental control equipment. Specifically, pet feeding equipment includes feeders, waterers, etc. Pet toy equipment includes sound and light, sports type, and simulated animal pet toys. Environmental control equipment includes air conditioners, lights, fans, humidifiers, pet sports equipment, etc.

[0035] Among them, the control instructions are transmitted between the environment monitoring device and the pet-related equipment through any of the following methods: infrared, radio frequency, and Bluetooth.

[0036] An alternative is to make feeders and waterers into single-unit devices that can be remotely controlled. To make electric devices such as feeders and waterers remotely controllable, the following work is required: 1. Add networking hardware to the electric device and connect it to a router or 5G network; 2. Independently develop the app program and control program corresponding to each device, and set the execution signal for the command parsing module conversion; 3. Build a cloud service for the management system for each device.

[0037] In this way, the hardware and software costs are very high. At the same time, if there is no camera, the remote operation can only be blind, and there is no real-time viewing ability and meaning of accompanying the pet. Even if a camera is added to each device, it will bring about the problem of limited field of view and low viewing angle, and the scene monitoring function of ordinary cameras cannot be exerted.

[0038] It can be seen that such high-cost, high-tech threshold solutions are only convenient for complex and large products. In the actual pet user market, there are a large number of practical devices that are originally low-cost and cannot be compatible with and connected to this system, and are therefore completely excluded from remote control and intelligence.

[0039] The present application solution only requires the deployment of environmental monitoring devices in the pet's living area. There is no need to install cameras on other pet-related equipment, nor is there a need to set up independent high-cost communication or protocol parsing chips or modules. Other pet-related equipment can be made intelligent at a very low cost, enabling more products to be intelligent and remote.

[0040] Furthermore, the present application solution only requires the same intelligent control platform, without the need for multi-system development and deployment. The app is also developed and maintained in a unified manner, saving corresponding development and operation costs at the system level.

[0041] Furthermore, since various pet-related devices can be seamlessly connected, pet owners can view and manage pet videos, pet toys, environmental equipment, etc. at the same time on the terminal interface. The usage scenarios will be greatly enriched and can continue to evolve.

[0042] The steps include: Receive the registration request of the pet-related equipment sent back by the environment monitoring device, save the unique identification and attribute information of the pet-related equipment, and notify the terminal device to present the attribute information of the pet-related equipment; wherein, the environment monitoring device and the pet-related equipment complete the automatic registration process through the customized module.

[0043] The steps include: Receive the deregistration request of the pet-related equipment sent back by the environment monitoring device, delete the unique identification and attribute information of the pet-related equipment, and notify the terminal device to delete the attribute information of the pet-related equipment previously presented; wherein, the environment monitoring device and the pet-related equipment complete the automatic deregistration process through the customized module.

[0044] Through automatic registration and deregistration, users can view the addition and deletion of pet-related devices on the terminal interface without having to perceive and operate pet-related devices, omitting the complex operations that currently require manual participation in matching between all devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] Furthermore, the method also includes the following steps: when it is detected that the pet-related device has been disconnected, such as Bluetooth disconnection, the pet-related device is automatically deregistered without the pet-related device actively initiating a deregistration request.

[0046] Furthermore, the method also includes the following steps: upon receiving an active logout request from the terminal app, the pet-related device is automatically logged out without the pet-related device actively initiating a logout request.

[0047] The steps include: Display the human-computer interaction interface, which has a video display area, a device management area and corresponding operation items; In response to the user's selection instruction for the corresponding operation item in the video display area, the corresponding operation item is controlled in the video display area, and the corresponding operation items include: video playback, calling, zooming, and rotating the shooting angle; In response to the user's selection instruction for the corresponding operation item in the equipment management area, the detail interface of the corresponding operation item is displayed in the equipment management area, and the detail interface includes: a pet feeding equipment detail interface, a pet toy equipment detail interface, and an environmental control equipment detail interface; In response to the user's selection instruction for the corresponding operation item of the details interface, the pet-related device is controlled.

For specific connection relationships, please refer to the above content and will not be repeated here.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in the terminal interface, click an app to enter the smart pet care system, where the upper half is the video display area and the lower half is the device management area. The video display area and the device management area can be switched to full screen according to the event scenario.

[0050] The operating items of pet feeding equipment include feeders and waterers; the operating items of environmental control equipment include air conditioners, humidity control, lighting control, and dog treadmills; the operating items of pet toy equipment include cat teasers, jumping balls, laser cat teasers, electric mice, soft ball catapults, and troublesome little birds.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, click the corresponding operation item of the feeder, and the detailed interface of the feeder will pop up, where you can view and operate the detailed properties, such as setting the feeding amount each time, feeding time, and checking the remaining food and feeder power.

[0052] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, click the corresponding operation item of the Jumping Ball, and the Jumping Ball details interface will pop up, where you can view and operate detailed properties. For example, you can set the direction of the Jumping Ball, the jumping height, the type of sound it makes, whether it is a cat or a dog, and check the battery level and whether it is connected to Bluetooth.

[0053] Among them, the corresponding operation items in the video display area and the device management area are not limited to the above specific embodiments and can be expanded according to actual applications.

[0054] This application is presented through visual integration, using one terminal device to drive multiple expandable feeding devices, toy devices, and environmental monitoring devices (air conditioners, heaters, hygrometers, fans, etc.), to achieve a full set of functions such as remote pet companionship, feeding, and environmental maintenance. Put the remote video and control command buttons on the same screen. The operation interface will not switch and the video playback will not be affected. Users can watch the on-site situation and see the status and interactive effects of operating and controlling remote devices, toys, and environmental monitoring equipment. This allows users to perceive the status of their pets at any time and make corresponding management operations.

Scenario 3: User views environment-related devices The user clicks on the terminal app to view a certain environment-related device; the terminal initiates a query command to the intelligent control platform, carrying a specific device ID; the intelligent control platform first queries the locally stored device attribute change data (such as the number of times the pet has been fed today), and determines whether a real-time query is required. If a real-time query is required, a query command is sent to the environmental monitoring device, carrying a specific device ID; the environmental monitoring device forwards the query command to a specific pet-related device; the pet-related device returns device attribute change data, such as battery level, remaining food, etc., according to the relevant control instructions. The intelligent control platform pushes the locally stored and real-time queried device attribute change data to the terminal for the terminal to present to the user.

The above-mentioned integrated unit may be implemented in the form of hardware or in the form of software functional units.

[0086] On the other hand, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, where the computer program can be executed by a processor to implement any of the above methods.

[0087] See also Figure 8, if the above-mentioned integrated unit is implemented in the form of a software functional unit and sold or used as an independent product, it can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium 300. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application is essentially or the part that contributes to the prior art or all or part of the technical solution can be embodied in the form of a software product, and the computer software product is stored in a storage medium, including several instructions / computer programs to enable an intelligent control platform (which can be a personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) or a processor (processor) to perform all or part of the steps of each implementation method of the present application. The aforementioned storage medium includes: various media such as USB flash drives, mobile hard disks, read-only memories (ROM, Read-Only Memory), random access memories (RAM, Random Access Memory), magnetic disks or optical disks, and electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones, laptops, tablet computers, cameras, etc. having the above-mentioned storage media.

[0088] The description of the execution process of the program data in the computer-readable storage medium can refer to the description in the above-mentioned method embodiments of the present application, which will not be repeated here.

[0089] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.

[0090] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in the above method of specific implementation, the order in which the steps are written does not imply a strict execution order and does not constitute any limitation on the implementation process. The specific execution order of the steps should be determined by their functions and possible internal logic.

[0091] To sum up, the present application has the following beneficial effects: by combining the environmental monitoring device with the intelligent control platform, the intelligent control platform is used to extract the pet environment video collected by the environmental monitoring device, and while presenting it on the terminal device, control instructions are sent to the pet-related equipment through the environmental monitoring device, thereby realizing remote monitoring while remotely controlling the various related equipment in the pet's living environment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0092] Furthermore, users do not need to access different control systems or use different apps to achieve this, thus reducing operational complexity and costs. At the same time, since pet owners only need to purchase environmental monitoring devices to control pet-related equipment, they do not need to purchase separately customized feeders with cameras, waterers with cameras, etc., which reduces the purchase and management costs of pet owners.

[0093] Furthermore, the present application solution only needs to deploy environmental monitoring devices in the pet living area. Other pet-related devices do not need to be equipped with cameras, nor do they need to set up independent high-cost communication or protocol analysis chips or modules. Other pet-related devices can be made intelligent at a very low cost, so that more low-cost pet-related devices can be connected. For example, the air conditioner at home can be remotely controlled and checked to see if it is turned on or off without modification. The water feeder and feeder can be remotely controlled by receiving radio frequency or Bluetooth signals, and combined with the real-time monitoring screen, users can perceive and control more accurately.

[0094] Furthermore, the present application solution only requires the same intelligent control platform, without the need for multi-system development and deployment. The app is also developed and maintained in a unified manner, saving corresponding development and operation costs at the system level.

[0095] Furthermore, since various pet-related devices can be seamlessly connected, pet owners can view and manage pet videos, pet toys, environmental equipment, etc. at the same time on the same terminal interface. The usage scenarios will be greatly enriched and can continue to evolve.

[0096] Furthermore, through automatic registration and deregistration, users can view the addition and deletion of pet-related devices on the terminal interface without having to perceive and operate pet-related devices, avoiding tedious operations such as searching and pairing, improving user experience, and effectively reducing costs.
