Solution Overview

Problem

Existing clickers for pet training lack the ability to record time and sounding frequency, making it difficult for users to control sounding intervals and times to form different feedback instructions, and are not suitable for more professional training items.

Innovation Solution

A pet trainer device that includes a shell, a sounding assembly, a display screen, a timing button, a counting switch, and a circuit board, which allows the user to record and display time and sounding frequency, enabling more complex commands and professional training items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a simple clicker is used for pet training, then the operation is simple and popular with consumers, but time and sounding times cannot be recorded, making it inconvenient for users to control sounding intervals and times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidtiming data recording
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a traditional clicker with electronic components (timing button, counting switch, circuit board, display screen) into an integrated device. The mechanical clicker structure is merged with electronic timing and counting functions, allowing the device to simultaneously provide simple clicker operation and automated timing/recording capabilities through the circuit board that records sounding time and times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The clicker device is transformed into a multi-functional tool that not only produces click sounds but also automatically records timing data, counts sounding times, and displays results on a screen. The device serves both as a simple training tool and an automated data collection system, eliminating the need for separate timing devices.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a whistle is used with controllable flow rate for different volume and tone levels, then different feedback instructions can be formed, but a certain learning cost is needed and it is difficult to master

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback instruction varietyVSAvoiduser learning curve
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device automatically performs timing and counting functions without requiring user skill or learning. The circuit board automatically records timing data and the counting switch automatically tracks sounding times, eliminating the need for the user to manually control or learn complex techniques to generate varied feedback instructions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical control of a whistle (requiring breath control and technique) with an electronic system that automatically generates and records timing data. The electronic circuit board and counting switch substitute for the complex mechanical coordination needed to master whistle control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If more professional training items are implemented, then more complex commands can be given to pets, but existing clickers cannot meet these requirements due to lack of recording capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining item complexityVSAvoidtraining data accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device provides automated feedback by recording timing data and sounding times, which can be displayed on the screen to help users analyze training patterns. This feedback mechanism enables users to make data-driven decisions for professional training, tracking progress and adjusting techniques based on recorded performance data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
