Networked Pest Repellers via Wireless Coordination

The patent combines multiple pest repellers into a networked system where devices communicate via wireless antenna and coordinate their operation. When one repeller detects a pest, it triggers neighboring repellers to emit ultrasound simultaneously or in sequence, creating a unified deterrent field that prevents pests from identifying and avoiding individual devices.

The system dynamically adjusts the operation of individual repellers based on real-time detection data. The controller modulates ultrasound emission timing and intensity across the network, creating variable patterns that adapt to pest behavior rather than following fixed, predictable cycles, thereby preventing pattern recognition.

Instead of continuous operation, the system uses periodic ultrasound emission triggered by motion detection. The PIR sensor detects pest movement and activates ultrasound only when needed, while the timer-delay function controls the duration and spacing of emission cycles. This event-driven periodic operation maintains effectiveness while dramatically reducing average power consumption.

The networked system maintains continuous surveillance through distributed PIR sensors across all repellers, ensuring that at least some devices are always monitoring for pests. When a pest is detected, the coordinated response ensures continuous deterrent action across the coverage area, creating the perception of constant protection without requiring all devices to operate continuously.
