Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional dog training methods require direct physical presence and are limited by inconsistent results due to the complexity of canine behavior, and remote training devices often lack real-time interaction and tailored responses to individual dogs' needs.

Innovation Solution

A dog training device equipped with a button-activated transmission system that sends signals to a computerized device, allowing for real-time interaction, notification, and remote control of automated systems like doors, with optional waterproofing and two-way video communication, integrated with smart home systems for enhanced functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional direct training methods are used, then real-time interaction is possible, but training is limited to specific times and locations requiring physical presence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a remote training device as an intermediary between the trainer and the dog. This device includes a button that triggers a transmission system to send signals to a computerized device, enabling the trainer to interact with the dog remotely without physical presence. The intermediary device resolves the contradiction by providing training flexibility through remote access while managing system complexity through a straightforward button-activation mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If remote training devices are used, then training flexibility is improved, but real-time interaction and tailored responses to individual dogs' needs are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining flexibilityVSAvoidtraining consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a feedback mechanism where the transmission system sends signals from the button activation to a computerized device, which can then provide responses back to the dog. This feedback loop enables tailored responses to individual dogs' needs by allowing the trainer to observe the dog's reaction and adjust subsequent training signals accordingly, thereby maintaining training consistency despite remote operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If simple button activation is used, then ease of operation is improved, but ability to address complex canine behavior is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice usabilityVSAvoidbehavioral response capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the button-activated transmission system to serve multiple functions. The same button mechanism can trigger different types of signals or commands depending on the training context, allowing a simple interface to address complex canine behaviors. The computerized device receiving the signals can interpret and respond with various tailored responses, making the simple button operation versatile enough to handle diverse behavioral training scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
