DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The present invention is a bear repellent device or system for keeping bears away from a user's surroundings.

[0015] A bear repellent device 1 according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a first example of a screen displayed on the image output unit 2 of the bear repellent device (first embodiment). FIG. 2 is a second example of a screen displayed on the image output unit 2 of the bear repellent device (first embodiment).

[0016] Bear repellent device 1 may be a portable computer such as a smartphone, tablet computer, mobile phone, or personal digital assistant (PDA), or it may be a wearable device such as glasses, a wristwatch, or clothing. It may also be a combination of multiple of these devices. For example, a combination of one smartphone and one wearable device can logically function as a single device. Other information processing devices may also be used.

[0017] Bear repellent device 1 includes a processor that runs an operating system, applications, and programs; a main memory unit such as RAM (Random Access Memory); a secondary memory unit such as an IC card, hard disk drive, SSD (Solid State Drive), or flash memory; a communication control unit such as a network card, wireless communication module, or mobile communication module; an input unit that accepts inputs such as a touch panel, keyboard, mouse, and voice input; an image output unit 2 such as a monitor or display; an audio output unit that can output sound; and a location information acquisition unit that acquires current location information. Note that location information is information that identifies a location using the Global Positioning System (GPS), which uses signals from satellites.

[0018] The main memory stores various programs, applications, etc. (modules), and the processor executes these programs and applications to realize the various functional elements of the overall system. These modules may be implemented in hardware, such as by integration. Each module may be an independent program or application, or may be implemented as a subprogram or function within a single integrated program or application. In this specification, each module is described as a subject that performs processing, but in reality, the processing is performed by a processor that processes various programs, applications, etc. (modules).

[0019] The bear repellent device 1 in the first embodiment is a smartphone. Bear repellent application programs (hereinafter sometimes referred to as bear repellent modules) are stored (installed) in the main memory device, and each functional element of the bear repellent device 1 is realized by the processor executing these programs.

[0020] The bear repellent device 1 includes an audio output unit capable of outputting at least one of the bear repellent sounds of a hunting dog and a hunting gun shot. FIG. 1 is a first example of a screen displayed on the image output unit 2 of the bear repellent device 1. As shown in Figure 1, the bear scare module displays the following options for "sound playback interval" on the image output unit 2: "1 minute interval" 21, "5 minute interval" 22, "15 minute interval" 23, or "repeat" 24. The user can select one of these options by tapping the image output unit, which is a touch panel (capable of input). When one of these options is selected, the bear scare module outputs the bear scare sound from the audio output unit at that interval. This configuration allows for a sustained bear repellent effect over a wide area.

[0021] FIG. 2 is a second example of a screen displayed on the image output unit 2 of the bear repellent device 1. The image output unit 2 of the bear repellent device 1 can output a map image 25. The map image includes bear-shaped icons 26 to indicate points where bears have appeared. This configuration allows the user to easily understand where the bear has appeared.

[0022] The bear repellent module may control the audio output unit to output an alert sound or the image output unit 2 to output an alert image when the current location acquired by the location information acquisition unit is within a specified range from the point indicated by the bear-shaped icon 26.

[0023] The bear-shaped icon may include a plurality of types of icons that differ in at least one element of shape, pattern, and color according to the reliability of the information that a bear has appeared.

[0024] A bear repellent device 10 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The bear repellent device 10 includes a housing 11, a main memory unit in which a bear repellent program is stored, an auxiliary memory unit such as a flash memory, an input unit for receiving input, and an audio output unit 12 capable of outputting sound. The input section has a push switch 13 that can be pressed and a pull switch 14 that can be fitted to and pulled out from the housing 11.

[0025] The bear repellent device 10 is configured so that when the push switch 13 is pressed, a bear repellent sound is output from the audio output unit 12. The bear scare sound can be output by the physically depressible push switch 13, so that the user can instantly generate the bear scare sound when it is needed.

[0026] Bear repellent device 10 is configured so that a bear repellent sound is output from audio output unit 12 when pull-out switch 14 is pulled out of housing 11. Alternatively, the device may be configured so that a security buzzer sound is output instead of the bear repellent sound.

[0027] A bear repellent system 100 according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Bear scare system 100 includes bear scare device 110 and remote control 120 .

[0028] The housing 111 of the bear repellent device 110 is equipped with a main memory unit in which a bear repellent program is stored, an auxiliary memory unit such as a flash memory, an audio output unit 112 capable of outputting sound, a flight means unit 113 for flying the bear repellent device 110, and a communication unit capable of communicating with a remote control 120. In the third embodiment, the bear repellent device 110 is a drone.

[0029] Remote control 120 includes a main memory unit that stores a bear repellent program, an auxiliary memory unit (audio data storage unit) such as a flash memory, an input unit that accepts input, and a communication unit that can communicate with bear repellent device 110. Audio data of the bear repellent sound is stored in the auxiliary memory unit (audio data storage unit) of remote control 120. In another embodiment, the audio data of the bear repellent sound may be stored in the auxiliary memory unit of bear repellent device 110. In order to output a bear repellent sound from the audio output unit 112 of the bear repellent device 110, the audio data of the bear repellent sound stored in the audio data storage unit of the remote control 120 can be transmitted to the communication unit of the bear repellent device 110.

[0030] The remote control 120 may also be capable of transmitting control information to the communication unit of the bear scare device 110 to control the flight of the bear scare device 110.

[0031] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and includes various modifications. For example, the above-described embodiments have been described in detail to clearly explain the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to those including all of the described configurations. Furthermore, it is possible to replace part of the configuration of one embodiment with the configuration of another embodiment, or to add the configuration of another embodiment to the configuration of one embodiment. Furthermore, it is possible to add, delete, or replace part of the configuration of each embodiment with other configurations. [Explanation of symbols]
