[0064] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an embodiment of a pet companion device provided by the present application. Figure 1 As shown, on the one hand, the present application provides a pet companion device, including a pet companion handheld module 1 and a pet companion terminal module 2; the pet companion terminal module 2 is arranged on the neck of the pet's body, and is used to receive the first positioning information sent by the pet companion handheld module 1, and return the first positioning response information; the pet companion handheld module 1 is arranged in a mobile device, and is used to send sound information and / or image information in a direction according to the first positioning response information of the pet companion terminal module 2 to attract the attention of the pet.
[0065] The first positioning information is the positioning request information sent by the pet companion handheld module 1 to the pet companion terminal module 2 in order to receive the location information of the current location of the pet companion terminal module 2. The first positioning response information is the location information of the current location of the pet companion terminal module 2 obtained by the pet companion terminal module 2 identifying and processing the first positioning information sent by the pet companion handheld module 1. The first positioning response information includes the first location of the pet companion terminal module 2.
[0066] Specifically, after the user uses the pet companion handheld module 1 to send the first positioning information through the mobile device, the pet companion terminal module 2 receives the first positioning information and performs real-time positioning, and returns the first positioning response information including the first position of the pet companion terminal module 2 to the pet companion handheld module 1; thereafter, the pet companion handheld module 1 sends sound information and / or image information to the pet companion terminal module 2 according to the first positioning response information, so that the pet companion terminal module 2 sends a corresponding sound and / or image projection that can be recognized by the pet, so as to attract the pet's attention and encourage the pet to exercise.
[0067] It should be noted that the sound information is control information for controlling the pet companion terminal module 2 to emit information that can be recognized by the pet. The sounds emitted by the pet companion terminal module 2 that can be recognized by the pet cat include sounds of cats, mice, dogs, etc. that can stimulate the pet cat.

[0087] It should be noted that the charging current output pin BAT is used to provide charging current to the battery and control the floating voltage to eventually reach 4.2V. When charging, the open-drain charging status output pin nChg is placed at a low potential by a built-in N-channel MOSFET; when charging is completed, a pull-down current of approximately 20μA appears at the open-drain charging status output pin nChg, indicating the presence of DC. The charging current programming pin Prog is used to monitor and shut down the charging current. The charging current is controlled by a resistor connected to ground with an accuracy of 1%. In the constant charging current state, this port provides a voltage of 1V. In all states, the voltage at this port can be used to calculate the charging current using the following formula: I BAT =(V Prog / R Prog )1000. The charging current programming pin Prog can also be used to shut down the charger. By separating the programming resistor from the ground terminal, the voltage of the charging current programming pin Prog can be pulled up by the 3μA current source. When the limit shutdown voltage value of 1.21V is reached, the charger enters the stop working state, charging ends, and the input current drops to 2μA. The pinch-off voltage of the charging current programming pin Prog is about 2.4V. If a voltage exceeding the pinch-off voltage is provided to the charging current programming pin Prog, a high current of 1.5mA will be obtained.
