  • Publication number: 20250072392
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a smart pet bowl to monitor pet feeding behavior, which includes a pet bowl to carry pet food or water or carry a bowl insert to carry pet food or water. The smart pet bowl also can include a load sensor associated with the pet bowl that is sensitive to load changes of pet food or water carried within the pet bowl. The load sensor has a sensitivity of +/?50 grams or less and load data collectable therefrom is at a sample rate from 10 to 150 samples per second in sequential time increments from about 0.01 second to 5 seconds. The smart pet bowl may also include a data communicator to communicate the load data over a computer network, a processor, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, communicates the load data over the computer network.

  • Publication number: 20250072401
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the monitoring feeding behavior(s) of a pet(s), under the control of at least one processor. An example method includes obtaining load data from a load sensor of a pet bowl while the pet is interacting with contents of the pet bowl. The load sensor can have a sensitivity of +/?50 grams or less and the load data is obtained can occur at a sample rate from 10 samples to 150 samples per second. The example method can also include sequentially grouping the load data in 0.01 second to 5 second time increments, wherein individual time increments include multiple samples, and identifying a feeding behavior occurring within one or more of the time increments based on the load data resulting from the pet interacting with the pet bowl or the contents of the pet bowl.
