[0062] I. Device startup and standby
[0063] Device startup: when the trap is powered on (such as charged by solar panel), the control system automatically initializes. During this process, the control system will check the working state of the camera, infrared sensor, touch pedal and key components to ensure that they are in normal state.
[0064] Standby mode: after initialization, the trap enters standby mode. At this time, the enclosure cover remains open, the camera and infrared sensor are in low-power monitoring state, and the animal is waiting for the animal to approach.
[0065] II. Animal detection and identification
[0066] Camera capture: when the animal approaches the enclosure, the camera starts to capture the image information of the animal. These image information will be used for subsequent animal identification and behavior analysis.
[0067] Information transmission: the animal information captured by the camera is transmitted to the control system through wireless mode. After receiving these information, the control system will carry out preliminary processing and storage.
[0068] Animal identification: The control system compares and identifies the captured animal information based on the preset animal information library (including the species, size, characteristics, etc. of the animal). If the animal is within the capture range (such as stray cats and dogs), the control system will enter the next capture process; if the animal is not within the capture range (pet cats and dogs), the control system will keep the enclosure cover open to avoid injury.
[0069] Three, trigger capture mechanism
[0070] Infrared sensor detection: If the animal is identified as a target that needs to be captured, the infrared sensor will continue to detect whether the animal has entered the enclosure. The infrared sensor has high precision and low power consumption characteristics, and can accurately detect the position and movement trajectory of the animal.
[0071] Touch pedal trigger: When the animal steps on the touch pedal, a trigger signal is sent to the control system. The touch pedal is designed to be sensitive and durable, and can accurately identify the stepping action of the animal and trigger the capture mechanism.
[0072] Enclosure cover closing: After receiving the trigger signal, the control system immediately controls the enclosure cover to close. The enclosure cover is made of high-strength material and has sufficient strength and stability, ensuring that the animal cannot escape during the capture process.
[0073] Four, remote confirmation and accommodation
[0074] Information sending: The control system sends animal information and video to the mobile client for the operator to view and confirm. The mobile client has functions such as real-time viewing and remote control, making it easy for operators to monitor and manage the capture process.
[0075] Remote instructions: The operator sends remote instructions through the mobile client to control the next operation of the capture device. These instructions include releasing the enclosure cover.
[0076] Five, animal fixation and safety
[0077] Elizabeth circle fixation: After the animal's head enters the Elizabeth circle, the staff automatically adjusts and fixes the Elizabeth circle according to the animal's neck condition. The design of the Elizabeth circle can prevent the animal from biting or self-injury, ensuring the safety of the operator and the comfort of the animal.

The worker can open the zipper on the upper part of the holding bag to take out the animal and transfer it to the next place where it needs to be transferred. Safety monitoring: the control system continuously monitors the animal's state, including heart rate, respiration, and other vital signs. If the animal appears abnormal, the control system will immediately issue an alarm and notify the operator to handle it.
[0079] Six, record and analysis
[0080] Information recording: the control system records the time, location, animal species, capture success / failure status, and infrared sensor and touch pedal trigger record information of each capture. These information will be saved to the database for classification and induction.
[0081] Data analysis:
[0082] Behavior pattern analysis: by analyzing the animal images and videos captured by the camera and the trigger record information of the infrared sensor and touch pedal, the animal's behavior patterns such as walking route, stay time, trigger behavior, etc. These behavior patterns will be used for subsequent capture strategy optimization and behavior prediction.

[0085] Learning and optimization: model training: use machine learning or deep learning algorithm to train the collected data to build animal behavior prediction model. Through model prediction of animal behavior patterns and capture efficiency, provide scientific basis for subsequent capture strategy.
[0086] Strategy optimization: according to the data analysis results, optimize the capture strategy such as adjusting the position and type of bait box, improving the sensitivity of touch pedal, etc. Formulate individualized capture scheme for different types of animals to improve the capture success rate.
