[0046] The scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings of the specification.

[0047] In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular architectures, interfaces, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the application.

[0048] The term "and / or", merely describes association relationship of associated objects, and indicates that three relationships can exist, for example, A and / or B can indicate that A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are in an "or" relationship. In addition, "multiple" in this paper means two or more than two. In addition, the term "at least one" in this paper means any one of multiple or any combination of at least two of multiple, for example, including at least one of A, B and C can mean including any one or more elements selected from the set consisting of A, B and C.

[0049] Please refer to Fig. 1, which is a flowchart of an embodiment of the pet environment monitoring method provided by the application.

[0050] As shown in Fig. 1, the first aspect of the application provides a pet environment monitoring method, which is applied to a pet environment monitoring system, and the pet environment monitoring system includes a terminal device, an intelligent control platform, an environment monitoring device and pet-related equipment. The pet environment monitoring method is specifically applied to the intelligent control platform, and includes the following steps:

[0051] S1: receiving the pet environment video collected by the environment monitoring device and sending it to the terminal device for presentation;

[0052] S2: receiving the control instruction of the pet-related equipment sent by the terminal device and sending it to the environment monitoring device, so that the environment monitoring device sends the control instruction to the pet-related equipment, thereby controlling the pet-related equipment to complete the corresponding operation; wherein the control instruction contains the unique identifier of the pet-related equipment.

[0053] Specifically, please refer to Fig. 2, which is an architecture diagram of an embodiment of the pet environment monitoring system provided by the application.

[0054] The intelligent control platform can be deployed in the user's machine room or in the remote cloud, and the specific selection is based on the user's use scene and cost.

[0055] The user can access the intelligent control platform through various terminals, including but not limited to mobile terminals such as mobile phones, notebook computers, fixed terminals such as desktop computers or other smart devices. In this way, the user can remotely view the pet condition in various environments when he is not at home or not in the pet room, and control the pet-related equipment in the pet's living environment, so as to achieve the purpose of intelligent companionship and feeding care.

[0056] The environmental monitoring device can access the network through wired or wireless mode, thereby communicating with the intelligent control platform. The environmental monitoring device can be arranged in a room where the user feeds the pet, such as a roof, a wall, a table, etc., and plays the role of a normal camera while monitoring the pet.

[0057] Further, the specific form of the environmental monitoring device can be a special modified camera arranged separately, for example, a camera device that integrates a camera lens and a module with more external control signal transceiver functions, or a camera and a signal transceiver arranged separately, which are connected through wireless or wired networking. The specific form is selected according to the cost and the adaptive scene.

[0058] The pet-related device accesses the environmental monitoring device through a short-distance low-cost communication mode such as Bluetooth or infrared, and realizes forwarding of control signaling to the pet-related device through the environmental monitoring device, thereby controlling the pet-related device to start and stop, etc.

[0059] It can be seen that the method of the present application combines the environmental monitoring device with the intelligent control platform, uses the intelligent control platform to extract the pet environment video collected by the environmental monitoring device, presents the video on the terminal device, and sends control instructions to the pet-related device through the environmental monitoring device, thereby realizing remote monitoring and remote control of the environment of the pet life, and improving the user experience. Further, the user does not need to access different control systems or use different apps to achieve the same, thereby reducing the operation complexity and cost. At the same time, since the pet user only needs to purchase the environmental monitoring device, the control of the pet-related device can be realized, and there is no need to purchase a separately customized pet feeder with a camera, a pet water feeder with a camera, etc., thereby reducing the purchase cost and management cost of the pet user.

[0060] The pet-related device includes pet feeding equipment, pet toy equipment, and environmental control equipment. Specifically, the pet feeding equipment includes a feeder, a water feeder, etc. The pet toy equipment includes sound and light, motion type, and simulated animal pet toys. The environmental control equipment includes an air conditioner, a lamp, a fan, a humidifier, and pet exercise equipment, etc.

[0061] The environmental monitoring device and the pet-related device transmit control instructions through any of the following modes: infrared, radio frequency, and Bluetooth.

[0062] An alternative way is to make the feeder, waterer and the like into a single device that can be remotely controlled. To make the feeder, waterer and the like electric devices remotely controllable, the following work is needed: 1, separately add networking hardware in the electric device, link to the router or 5G network; 2, independently develop the app program and control program corresponding to each device, set the plate conversion execution signal for command analysis; 3, build a cloud service management system for each device.

[0063] In this way, the hardware and software costs are high, and if there is no camera, remote control can only be blind, without the ability to view in real time and the meaning of accompanying pets. Even if a camera is added to each device, it will bring the problem of limited field of view and low angle of view, which cannot play the scene monitoring function of ordinary cameras.

[0064] As can be seen, such a high-cost, high-technology threshold solution is only convenient for complex and large products, and in the actual pet user market, there are a large number of practical devices that are inherently low-cost and cannot be compatible and accessed to such a system, thereby being completely excluded from remote control and intelligentization.

[0065] The present application only needs to deploy an environment monitoring device in the pet living area, and other pet-related devices do not need to be equipped with a camera or set up an independent high-cost communication or protocol analysis chip or module. Other pet-related devices can be intelligently implemented at a very low cost, enabling more products to be intelligent and remote.

[0066] Further, the present application only needs one set of intelligent control platform, without the need for multiple system development and deployment, and the app is also uniformly developed and maintained, saving the corresponding development and operation and maintenance costs at the system level.

[0067] Further, since various pet-related devices can be seamlessly accessed, pet users can view and manage pet videos, pet toys, environmental devices and the like on the terminal interface at the same time, and the use scenarios will be greatly enriched and can continue to evolve.

[0068] Among them, the steps include:

[0069] Receiving the registration request of the pet-related device returned by the environment monitoring device, saving the unique identifier and attribute information of the pet-related device, and notifying the terminal device to present the attribute information of the pet-related device; wherein the environment monitoring device and the pet-related device complete the automatic registration process through a customized module.

[0070] Among them, the steps include:

[0071] Receiving the logout request of the pet-related device returned by the environment monitoring device, deleting the unique identifier and attribute information of the pet-related device, and notifying the terminal device to delete the attribute information of the pet-related device presented before; wherein the environment monitoring device and the pet-related device complete the automatic logout process through the customized module.

[0072] Through automatic registration and logout, the user can view the addition and deletion of the pet-related device on the terminal interface without sensing and operating the pet-related device, which omits the complex operation of manual participation required for matching between all devices at present, and improves the user experience.

[0073] Further, it further includes the step of detecting that the pet-related device has been disconnected, such as Bluetooth disconnection, and then automatically logging out the pet-related device without the pet-related device actively initiating a logout request.

[0074] Further, it further includes the step of receiving an active logout request of the terminal app, and then automatically logging out the pet-related device without the pet-related device actively initiating a logout request.

[0075] Further, it further includes the steps of:

[0076] Displaying a human-computer interaction interface, the human-computer interaction interface having a video display area, a device management area, and corresponding operation items;

[0077] In response to a selection instruction of the user on the corresponding operation items of the video display area, controlling the corresponding operation items in the video display area, the corresponding operation items including video playback, calling, zooming, and rotating the shooting angle;

[0078] In response to a selection instruction of the user on the corresponding operation items of the device management area, displaying a detail interface of the corresponding operation items in the device management area, the detail interface including a pet feeding device detail interface, a pet toy device detail interface, and an environment control device detail interface;

[0079] In response to a selection instruction of the user on the corresponding operation items of the detail interface, controlling the pet-related device.

[0080] Specifically, referring to FIGS. 5-8, an interaction interface diagram of an embodiment of the terminal device is shown. As shown in FIG. 5, it is a global networking diagram, and the specific connection relationship is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 6, in the terminal interface, clicking on a certain app can enter the intelligent pet raising system, wherein the upper half is a video display area, and the lower half is a device management area. The video display area and the device management area can switch to full screen according to the situation.

[0082] The operation items of the pet feeding device include a feeder, a water feeder, the operation items of the environment control device include an air conditioner, humidity adjustment, light adjustment, a dog treadmill, and the operation items of the pet toy device include a cat teasing stick, a jumping ball, a laser cat teasing device, an electric mouse, a soft ball launching machine, and a small bird causing trouble.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 7, the detail interface of the feeder is popped up by clicking the corresponding operation item of the feeder, and detailed attribute viewing and operation can be performed. For example, the feeding amount, feeding timing, and remaining food and power of the feeder can be set.

[0084] As shown in FIG. 8, the detail interface of the jumping ball is popped up by clicking the corresponding operation item of the jumping ball, and detailed attribute viewing and operation can be performed. For example, the movement direction, jumping height, and sound type of the jumping ball can be set, and the power and Bluetooth connection of the jumping ball can be viewed.

[0085] The corresponding operation items of the video display area and the device management area are not limited to the above specific embodiments, and can be extended according to actual applications.

[0086] The present application presents a complete set of functions of remote pet accompanying, feeding, and environment maintenance by visual integration of a terminal device, multiple extendable feeding devices, toy devices, and environment monitoring devices (air conditioner, heater, hygrometer, fan, etc.).

[0087] The remote video and the control command button are placed on the same screen, the operation interface does not switch, and the video playing is not affected. The user can not only watch the live situation, but also see the state and interactive effect of the operation control of the remote device, toy, and environment monitoring device, so as to facilitate the user to perceive the state of the pet at any time and make corresponding management operation.
