[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application with application number 202311237221.6 filed with the China Patent Office on September 22, 2023, entitled “A method, device, electronic device and storage medium for controlling pet feeding”. The entire contents of the above application are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the field of computer control, and in particular to a pet feeding control method, device, electronic device and storage medium. Background Art

[0004] More and more people are keeping pets at home. When the pets are left unattended for a period of time, the owners often choose to use automatic pet feeders to feed the pets.

[0005] Currently, existing automatic feeders require users to manually set the food portion size. Once the setting is completed, the automatic feeder converts the amount into the desired number of servings and then performs the feeding. The automatic feeder uses a stepper motor to rotate the food trough to feed the pet, delivering the entire meal all at once. However, there is often a discrepancy between the actual and expected food amount, which accumulates with each feeding. Furthermore, feeding the pet all at once can cause the pet to overeat.

Based on the embodiments of the present application, each other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] First, the application scenarios to which this application is applicable are introduced. This application can be applied in the field of computer control.

[0052] More and more people are keeping pets at home. When the pets are left unattended for a period of time, the owners often choose to use automatic pet feeders to feed the pets.

[0053] Research has found that existing automatic feeders require users to manually set the food portion size. Once the setting is completed, the automatic feeder converts the amount into the desired number of servings and then performs the feeding. Automatic feeders use a stepper motor to rotate the food trough to feed the pet, delivering the entire meal all at once. However, there is often a discrepancy between the actual and expected food amounts, which accumulates with each feeding. Furthermore, feeding the entire meal all at once can cause pets to overeat.

[0054] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a pet feeding control method to reduce the error in the amount of food fed in each meal, avoid the problem of feeding too much or too little food in each meal, and achieve more scientific and accurate feeding of pets.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flow chart of a pet feeding control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the control method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0056] S101, in response to the user's operation of determining the total feeding weight, determining the preset total feeding weight of each meal.

[0057] It should be noted that the total feeding weight refers to the weight of food planned to be fed to the pet in each meal. The preset total feeding weight is the total feeding weight defined by the user and can be expressed as A 计 .

[0058] Regarding the above step S101, in the specific implementation, in response to the user's determination operation of the total feeding weight, the preset total feeding weight A of each meal is determined. 计 .

[0059] As an optional embodiment, after determining the preset total feeding weight of each meal, the control method further includes:

[0060] A: Determine the preset meal time for each meal.

[0061] It should be noted that the preset meal time refers to the meal time of the pet in each meal set in advance by the user, which can be expressed as M.

[0062] Regarding the above step A, during specific implementation, in response to the user's operation of determining the meal duration, the preset meal duration M for each meal is determined.

[0063] B: Calculate the number of feeding intervals corresponding to each meal based on the preset total feeding weight and the preset feeding weight corresponding to each feeding round.

[0064] It should be noted that the preset feeding weight refers to the weight of food fed in each feeding round, which can be expressed as P 计 .

[0065] For the above step B, in the specific implementation, based on the preset total feeding weight A 计 The preset feeding weight P corresponding to each feeding round 计 Calculate the number of feeding intervals Q corresponding to each meal. Specifically, the number of feeding intervals is calculated using the following formula: Q = [A 计 / P 计 ].

[0066] C: Calculate the interval time of each feeding round based on the preset meal time and the feeding interval number.

[0067] It should be noted that the interval time refers to the time between the last feeding and the next feeding in each meal, which can be expressed as T.

[0068] Regarding step C above, during specific implementation, the interval time T of each feeding round is calculated based on the preset meal time M determined in step A above and the number of feeding intervals Q determined in step B above. Specifically, the interval time is calculated using the following formula: T = M / (Q - 1), where T = 0 when Q ≤ 1.

[0069] S102, calculating the first actual total feeding weight of the current meal based on the first actual feeding weight of each feeding round in the current meal, and adjusting the number of feedings in the current meal based on the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight, so as to minimize the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight of the current meal.

[0070] It should be noted that the actual feeding weight refers to the actual weight of the food fed each time, expressed as P 实 The actual total feeding weight refers to the total weight of the food fed in the current meal, expressed as A 实 , which is equal to the sum of the actual feeding weights, i.e. A 实 =P 实1 +P 实2 +P 实3 +...+P 实n , where n represents the number of times food is fed in the current meal.

[0071] Regarding the above step S102, in the specific implementation, when feeding a single meal, the first actual feeding weight P of each feeding round in the current meal is obtained. 实 Here, the weight of the food fed can be obtained in real time by the weight sensor. Based on each first actual feeding weight P 实 Calculate the first actual total feeding weight A 实 , and based on the preset total feeding weight A 实 The first actual total feeding weight P 实 The difference between the two adjusts the feeding times in the current meal so that the preset total feeding weight A 实 The first actual total feeding weight P 实 The difference between them is minimized, reducing the error in the amount of food fed in the current meal.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, with respect to the above step S102, the first actual total feeding weight of the current meal is calculated based on the first actual feeding weight of each feeding round in the current meal, and the number of feedings in the current meal is adjusted based on the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight, including:

[0073] Step 1021: Calculate the first actual total feeding weight and the average of the first actual feeding weights based on the first actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round and the first actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round before the current feeding round.

[0074] It should be noted that the first actual feeding weight average refers to the average amount of food fed each time in this meal, which can be expressed as P 均 .

[0075] For the above-mentioned step 1021, in the specific implementation, first obtain the first actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round before the current feeding round. Here, when the current feeding round is the first time, there is no historical feeding round, and the first actual feeding weight of the current feeding round is directly used as the first actual total feeding weight, and the first actual feeding weight of the current feeding round is used as the first actual feeding weight average. When the current feeding round is not the first time, based on the first actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round and the first actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round, the first actual total feeding weight and the first actual feeding weight average are calculated. Specifically, the sum of multiple first actual feeding weights is determined as the first actual total feeding weight, and the first actual total feeding weight divided by the number of feedings in the meal is the first actual feeding weight average.

[0076] Step 1022: When the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is greater than or equal to the first actual feeding weight average, the next feeding round is fed after the interval time, and the next feeding round is determined as the current feeding round.

[0077] For the above step 1022, in the specific implementation, determine whether the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is greater than or equal to the first actual feeding weight mean. If it is greater than or equal to, it means that the current actual feeding amount is insufficient and it is necessary to continue feeding, then the next feeding round is fed after the interval time, and the next feeding round is determined as the current feeding round, and the step of returning to execute the above step 1021 based on the first actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round and the first actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round before the current feeding round, calculating the first actual total feeding weight and the first actual feeding weight mean, and feeding the next round is performed. If it is not greater than or not equal to, it means that the current actual feeding amount is insufficient, but continuing to feed once will exceed the planned feeding amount, which may cause the amount of overfeeding to exceed the amount of underfeeding, then execute the following step 1023.

[0078] Step 1023: When the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is less than the first actual feeding weight average, and the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is greater than or equal to half of the first actual feeding weight average, the next feeding round is fed after the interval time, and the next feeding round is determined as the current feeding round.

[0079] Regarding step 1023 above, in a specific implementation, if it is determined that the current actual feeding amount is insufficient, but continuing to feed once will exceed the planned feeding amount, this may cause the amount of overfeeding to exceed the amount of underfeeding, thereby increasing the error between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount. Therefore, the difference between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount after continuing to feed once is calculated, and the difference is compared to see whether it is less than the difference between the current actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount. That is, it is determined whether the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is greater than or equal to half of the average of the first actual feeding weight, and at the same time, it is determined whether the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is greater than or equal to half of the average of the first actual feeding weight. If the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is less than the average of the first actual feeding weight, and the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is greater than or equal to half of the average of the first actual feeding weight, then the difference between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount after one further feeding is less than or equal to the difference between the current actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount, and the actual feeding amount after one further feeding is closer to the preset total feeding weight. Then, the next feeding round is fed after the interval, and the next feeding round is determined as the current feeding round. The process returns to step 1021, where the first actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round and the first actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round before the current feeding round are used to calculate the first actual total feeding weight and the average of the first actual feeding weights, and the next feeding round is fed.

[0080] Step 1024: When the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is less than the first actual feeding weight average, and the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is less than half of the first actual feeding weight average, stop feeding, record the first actual total feeding weight, and record the feeding weight error of the current meal based on the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight.

[0081] Regarding the above step 1024, in a specific implementation, when it is determined that the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is less than the first actual feeding weight average, and the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is less than half of the first actual feeding weight average, it means that the difference between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount after continuing to feed once is greater than the difference between the current actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount, and the actual feeding amount is closer to the planned feeding amount if the feeding is not continued once, so the feeding is stopped and the first actual total feeding weight A is recorded. 实, and record the feeding weight error of the current meal based on the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight. Specifically, the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight is used as the feeding weight error E 餐 , specific, E 餐 =A 计 -A 实 .

[0082] According to the control method provided in this application, after the feeding of the current meal is completed, the feeding of subsequent meals can be continued according to the preset total feeding weight. After the feeding of the current meal is completed, the control method further includes:

[0083] For each feeding meal after the current meal, the second actual total feeding weight corresponding to the feeding meal is determined based on the second actual feeding weight of each feeding round in the feeding meal, and the number of feedings in the feeding meal is adjusted based on the meal feeding weight difference corresponding to the feeding meal, so that the difference between the second actual total feeding weight corresponding to the feeding meal and the preset total feeding weight is minimized.

[0084] It should be noted that the meal weight difference refers to the error between the preset total feeding weight and the second actual total feeding weight of the feeding meal. Here, when the feeding meal is a meal after the current meal, the meal weight difference is the feeding weight error of the current meal. When the meal is another meal of the day, the meal weight difference is the sum of the meal weight differences of the historical meals before the feeding meal.

[0085] With respect to the above steps, in specific implementation, after the feeding of the current meal is completed, for each feeding meal after the current meal, the second actual total feeding weight corresponding to the feeding meal is determined based on the second actual feeding weight of each feeding round in the feeding meal, and the number of feedings in the feeding meal is adjusted based on the feeding weight difference corresponding to the feeding meal, so that the difference between the second actual total feeding weight corresponding to the feeding meal and the preset total feeding weight is minimized. In this way, when multiple feedings are carried out subsequently, the actual total feeding weight of each meal will be adjusted according to the feeding weight difference generated by the previous meal to ensure that the gap between the actual total feeding weight and the preset total feeding weight is narrowed.

[0086] As an optional embodiment, the meal weight difference corresponding to the feeding meal is determined by the following steps:

[0087] I: Obtain meal feeding weight difference values ​​corresponding to at least one historical meal before the feeding meal, and determine the sum of the historical feeding weight difference values ​​corresponding to the at least one historical meal as the historical total weight difference value.

[0088] II: Add the historical total weight difference to the feeding weight error of the current meal to obtain the feeding weight difference corresponding to the feeding meal.

[0089] In the specific implementation of steps I and II above, first obtain the meal weight difference corresponding to at least one historical meal preceding the current feeding meal, and then determine the total historical weight difference by summing the historical weight difference for at least one historical meal. Then, add the total historical weight difference to the feeding weight error of the current meal to determine the meal weight difference corresponding to the current feeding meal.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, for the above steps, determining the second actual total feeding weight corresponding to the feeding meal based on the second actual feeding weight of each feeding round in the feeding meal, and adjusting the number of feedings in the feeding meal based on the meal feeding weight difference corresponding to the feeding meal, includes:

[0091] (1): Based on the second actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round in the feeding meal, and the second actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round before the current feeding round, calculate the second actual total feeding weight and the average of the second actual feeding weights.

[0092] Here, the description of the above step (1) can refer to the description of the above step 1021, and can achieve the same technical effect, so it will not be repeated here.

[0093] Here, in a specific implementation, if it is determined that the preset total feeding weight is the same as the second actual total feeding weight, it means that the total amount of food currently fed is the same as the expected total amount of food fed, and there is no need to continue feeding. Then, feeding of that meal is stopped, the second actual total feeding weight is recorded, and the second feeding weight error of that meal is recorded based on the preset total feeding weight and the second actual total feeding weight. If it is determined that the preset total feeding weight is different from the second actual total feeding weight, the following steps are continued.

[0094] (2): If the difference in the weight of the feeding of the meal is greater than or equal to the second actual feeding weight average, the feeding of the next feeding round of the feeding meal is carried out after the interval time, and the feeding round of the next meal is determined as the feeding round of the current meal.

[0095] For the above step (2), when it is specifically implemented, it is determined whether the difference in the weight of the feeding of the meal is greater than or equal to the second actual feeding weight average. When the difference in the weight of the feeding of the meal is greater than or equal to the second actual feeding weight average, it means that the current actual feeding amount is insufficient, then the feeding of the next feeding round of the meal is carried out after the interval time, and the next feeding round is determined as the current feeding round, and the step of returning to the above step (1) to calculate the second actual total feeding weight and the second actual feeding weight average based on the second actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round in the feeding meal and the second actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round before the current feeding round is carried out, and the feeding of the next feeding round is carried out.

[0096] (3): If the difference in the weight of the meals fed is less than the second average actual feeding weight, determine whether the difference in the weight of the meals fed is greater than or equal to half of the second average actual feeding weight.

[0097] Regarding step (3), when it is determined that the difference in weight of the food fed per meal is less than the second average of the actual food fed weight, continuing to feed once will exceed the planned feeding amount, which may cause the amount of food fed to be more than the amount of food fed to be less, thereby increasing the error between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount. Therefore, it is further determined whether the difference in weight of the food fed per meal is greater than or equal to half of the second average of the actual food fed weight. If so, the following step (4) is executed; if not, the following step (5) is executed.

[0098] (4): If so, the feeding round of the next meal of the feeding meal is carried out after the interval time, and the feeding round of the next meal is determined as the feeding round of the current meal.

[0099] With respect to the above step (4), in the specific implementation, when it is judged that the difference in the weight of the feeding of the meal is greater than or equal to half of the second actual feeding weight average, it means that the difference between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount after continuing to feed once is less than or equal to the difference between the current actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount, and the actual feeding amount after continuing to feed once is closer to the preset total feeding weight. Then, the feeding of the next feeding round in the meal of the meal is carried out after the interval time, and the next feeding round in the meal is determined as the current feeding round in the meal, and the step of calculating the second actual total feeding weight and the second actual feeding weight average based on the second actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round in the feeding meal and the second actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round in the meal before the current feeding round in the above step (1) is returned.

[0100] (5): If not, when the number of times the food has been fed in the feeding meal is greater than or equal to the actual number of times the food is fed corresponding to the feeding meal, the second actual total food weight is recorded, and the difference in the current meal food weight of the meal is recorded based on the preset total food weight and the second actual total food weight.

[0101] In the specific implementation of the above step (5), when the difference in the weight of the food fed in a meal is less than half of the average of the second actual feeding weight, the number of times the food has been fed in the meal is obtained. When the number of times the food has been fed in the meal is greater than or equal to the actual feeding number corresponding to the meal, it means that there is no need to continue feeding the current meal, and the feeding of the meal is stopped, the second actual total feeding weight is recorded, and the difference in the weight of the food fed in the current meal of the meal is recorded based on the preset total feeding weight and the second actual total feeding weight.

[0102] As an optional embodiment, when the number of times the food has been fed in the feeding meal is less than the actual number of times the food has been fed corresponding to the feeding meal, the control method further includes:

[0103] a: The difference between the preset total feeding weight and the second actual total feeding weight is determined as a first value, and the sum of the meal feeding weight difference and the first value is determined as a second value.

[0104] For the above step a, when the number of times the food has been fed in the feeding meal is less than the actual number of times the food has been fed corresponding to the feeding meal, it indicates that the food needs to be fed further, and the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the second actual total feeding weight is determined as the first value, and the sum of the difference in the feeding weight of the meal and the first value is determined as the second value, that is, the second value is expressed as A. 计 -A 实 +E 餐总 .

[0105] b: When the second value is greater than or equal to the second actual feeding weight average, feeding is performed in the next feeding round of the feeding meal after the interval time, and the next feeding round is determined as the current feeding round.

[0106] For the above step b, when it is specifically implemented, it is determined whether the second value is greater than or equal to the second actual feeding weight average. When the second value is greater than or equal to the second actual feeding weight average, it means that the accumulated error of each meal is greater than or equal to the actual feeding amount of one feeding. Although the error value of the meal increases when feeding once more, the overall error value of multiple meals decreases. Therefore, the next feeding is performed, and the feeding round of the next meal of the meal is fed after the interval time, and the feeding round of the next meal is determined as the feeding round of the current meal, and the step of calculating the second actual total feeding weight and the second actual feeding weight average based on the second actual feeding weight corresponding to the feeding round of the current meal in the feeding meal and the second actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round before the current meal in step (1) is returned.

[0107] c: When the second value is less than the second actual feeding weight average, determine whether the second value is greater than or equal to half of the second actual feeding weight average.

[0108] For the above step c, in the specific implementation, when it is judged that the second value is less than the second actual feeding weight average, it means that the accumulated error of each meal is less than 1 actual feeding amount. If the feeding is continued once, the planned feeding amount will be exceeded, which may cause the overfeeding amount to exceed the underfeeding amount, thereby increasing the error between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount. Therefore, the difference between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount after continuing to feed once is calculated, and the value is compared to see whether it is less than the difference between the current actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount, and it is determined whether the second value is greater than or equal to half of the second actual feeding weight average.

[0109] d: If yes, then the feeding round of the next meal of the feeding meal is carried out after the interval time, and the feeding round of the next meal is determined as the feeding round of the current meal.

[0110] For the above step d, in the specific implementation, if yes, it means that the difference between the actual feeding amount of the most recent meals after continuing to feed once and the planned feeding amount is less than or equal to the difference between the current actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount, and the actual feeding amount of the most recent meals after continuing to feed once is closer to the planned feeding amount, then the next feeding round of the meal of the meal is fed after the interval time, and the next feeding round of the meal is determined as the feeding round of the current meal, and the step of returning to execute the above step (1) of calculating the second actual total feeding weight and the average of the second actual feeding weights based on the second actual feeding weight corresponding to the current feeding round of the feeding meal and the second actual feeding weight corresponding to each historical feeding round of the meal before the current feeding round.

[0111] e: If not, the sum of the number of times the animal has been fed and 1 is determined as the number of times the animal has been fed, and the determination is continued as to whether the number of times the animal has been fed in the feeding meal is greater than or equal to the actual number of times the animal has been fed corresponding to the feeding meal.

[0112] For the above step e, in the specific implementation, if no, it means that the difference between the actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount of the most recent meals after continuing to feed one portion is greater than the difference between the current actual feeding amount and the planned feeding amount. If one portion is not continued to be fed, the actual feeding amount of the most recent meals is closer to the planned feeding amount. Therefore, the sum of the number of times the feeding has been done and 1 is determined as the number of times the feeding has been done, and it is further determined whether the number of times the feeding has been done in the feeding meal is greater than or equal to the actual number of times the feeding meal corresponds to the feeding meal.

[0113] The pet feeding control method provided in the embodiment of the present application first determines the preset total feeding weight of each meal in response to the user's determination operation of the total feeding weight; then, calculates the first actual total feeding weight of the current meal based on the first actual feeding weight of each feeding round in the current meal, and adjusts the number of feedings in the current meal based on the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight, so as to minimize the difference between the preset total feeding weight and the first actual total feeding weight of the current meal.
