[0003] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, mobile communication, and positioning technologies, during the process of monitoring pet activities, the location information of pets is tracked through geofencing technology.

It can be understood that when a pet is at the same height all the time, considering the scenario of being hunted and then transported in a vehicle, in such an emergency, it is necessary to give a timely warning about the pet's location information. For this reason, we propose a pet electronic sign and its system combining electronic article surveillance and radio frequency tags. Summary of the Invention

[0057] It should be noted that an integrated GPS system is adopted. This system has the ability of high-precision altitude measurement and can continuously obtain and update the three-dimensional coordinate information of the pet in the earth coordinate system, including longitude, latitude and altitude, at a preset time interval. At the same time, through the accelerometer and gyroscope, the moving speed and direction of the pet can be calculated.

[0058] Specifically, a pet electronic tag combining electronic article surveillance and radio frequency identification, the positioning module includes an integrated GPS with high-precision altitude measurement function for obtaining the three-dimensional coordinate information of the pet in real time.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment, a pet electronic tag combining electronic article surveillance and radio frequency identification, the positioning module further includes an accelerometer and a gyroscope, which can obtain the moving speed of the pet in real time.

When the first-level alarm instruction is triggered, this module will generate an alarm notification and call the camera module as needed; while under the second-level alarm instruction, it will directly generate an alarm and start the camera module to take real-time pictures and be responsible for transmitting the images to the server.

[0061] Specifically, a pet electronic tag combining electronic article surveillance and radio frequency identification, the identification module further includes a QR Code etched on the outer shell of the electronic tag.

[0068] The second communication module includes a real-time clock unit for obtaining the time in real time;

[0069] The instruction input module: It is used to obtain the user input operation to generate input instructions;

[0070] The navigation module: It includes a map, which is synchronized with the obtained three-dimensional coordinate information of the pet and refreshes the three-dimensional coordinate information of the pet based on the map in real time;

[0071] The early warning module: It includes a fence setting unit and a fence dynamic monitoring unit.

[0072] It should be noted that the present invention is a system for use with a pet electronic sign combining electronic article surveillance and radio frequency tags. It also uses Cat M1 or eMTC communication technology to establish a stable data link with the electronic sign, and has a real-time clock function to ensure the accuracy of time synchronization;

[0073] Through the set navigation module, it integrates map services, can display and refresh the three-dimensional coordinate information of the pet based on the map in real time, and forms a dynamic tracking interface.

[0074] Specifically, for a system for use with a pet electronic sign combining electronic article surveillance and radio frequency tags, the fence setting unit specifically executes the following steps:

[0075] S3.1. Select the fenced area: Based on the user's input instruction, pre-select a fixed area on the map and set the fixed area;

[0076] S3.2. Determine the fence parameters: Determine the fence boundary based on the fixed area, and determine the fence size based on the fence boundary to form a two-dimensional geographical fence;

[0077] S3.3. Geographical fence modeling: Preset a height threshold, and establish a three-dimensional model based on the two-dimensional geographical fence, where the height threshold is stored in the three-dimensional model to form the Z-axis of the three-dimensional coordinate system in the three-dimensional model.

[0078] It should be noted that the present invention is a system for a pet electronic signboard that cooperates with a combined electronic article surveillance and radio frequency tag. Through the provided warning module, the fence setting unit: The user designates a preset area through a graphical interface, and the system automatically converts it into two-dimensional geographical fence parameters and constructs a three-dimensional model in combination with a preset height threshold. The specific algorithm may include a spatial indexing algorithm and a polygon boundary description algorithm, which are used to efficiently compare whether the current position of the pet is within the fenced area.

[0079] Specifically, for a system used in a pet electronic signboard that cooperates with a combined electronic article surveillance and radio frequency tag, the fence dynamic monitoring unit specifically executes the following steps:

[0080] S4.1. Monitor the pet status: Map the real-time obtained three-dimensional coordinate information of the pet into the three-dimensional model, and compare the trajectory point position of the pet with the real-time height position:

[0081] When the trajectory point position coincides with the fence boundary, generate a first-level alarm instruction;

[0082] When the real-time height position coincides with the height threshold and exceeds the height threshold, generate a second-level alarm instruction.

[0083] It should be noted that the present invention is a pet electronic signboard and its system that combines electronic article surveillance and radio frequency tags. Through the provided warning module, the fence dynamic monitoring unit: Maps the real-time obtained three-dimensional coordinate information of the pet into the three-dimensional model, and triggers an alarm by comparing the relationship between the coordinate points and the fence boundary. Among them, the first-level alarm is applicable when the pet leaves the preset geographical fence boundary, and the second-level alarm is triggered when the pet's height exceeds the preset threshold, indicating that the pet may have left the ground or entered a scene in a geographically higher area and is in a relatively dangerous state. This process may apply algorithms such as distance calculation and geometric relationship judgment.

[0084] In actual use, it is necessary to develop a graphical interface integrated with the map API, allowing users to define polygonal areas on the map by dragging, clicking, etc. to create a two-dimensional geographic fence. When the user completes the setting, the system captures the longitude and latitude coordinates of the selected area, and combines the height threshold parameters to form a three-dimensional fence data structure stored in the system server or the device local database;

[0085] Afterwards, the electronic sign continuously sends positioning data packets containing the pet's current latitude, longitude and altitude information. In the server or client application, the pet's real-time location coordinates are compared to see whether they fall within the preset three-dimensional fence area, or whether their height exceeds the threshold. When it is detected that the pet has crossed the boundary or violated the height violation, the alarm process is immediately executed.

[0086] It is worth mentioning that through the set early warning module, the system can achieve real-time, high-precision tracking of the pet's spatial position by accurately reflecting the pet's actual position in the three-dimensional model, which is crucial to ensure the safety of the pet and prevent the pet from getting lost or entering dangerous areas;

[0087] In addition, it includes two levels of alarm command generation conditions. The first level alarm is applicable when the pet crosses the preset two-dimensional geographic fence boundary, promptly notifying the user that the pet may have left the set safe area, which helps the user to respond quickly and take corresponding measures. The second level alarm is triggered when the height of the pet exceeds the preset threshold. This can be applied to situations such as pets climbing over fences, climbing trees, or being taken away and put into vehicles, further ensuring the safety of pets in three-dimensional space, especially for those pets that need to limit their range of activities or avoid high-altitude risks;

[0088] In addition, the fence dynamic monitoring unit determines whether to trigger an alarm by automatically comparing the relationship between the pet's trajectory points and height information with preset parameters, which greatly reduces the user's monitoring burden and realizes efficient and safe management around the clock and unmanned. Users can customize fence areas and height thresholds according to actual needs, which can adapt to various complex environmental scenarios and different pet management needs, improving the practicality and flexibility of the system.

[0089] Further, in a system for use with a pet electronic sign that combines electronic article monitoring and radio frequency tags, the first communication module and the second communication module both use Cat M1 or eMTC communication technology;

[0090] The above communication technology is optimized to ensure that the data transmission between the pet electronic sign and the external terminal is fast, stable and reliable. Especially for the equipment containing the camera module, it can realize the transmission of real-time image data, so that the owner can check the pet's dynamics at any time.

[0091] It should be noted that the present invention relates to a pet electronic sign and its system that combines electronic article surveillance and radio frequency tags. Through the communication module provided, which has been specifically optimized for the Internet of Things, the pet electronic sign can achieve low power consumption while ensuring its functions, extend the battery life, reduce the replacement frequency, and meet the actual requirements for outdoor use;

[0092] Moreover, the above-mentioned communication technology has good signal penetration ability and long-distance coverage characteristics, enabling a good network connection quality even inside buildings or in remote areas, thus ensuring that the pet electronic sign can upload location information and other monitoring data in a timely manner regardless of its location.

[0093] The above has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present invention.
