Abstract: A system and method for deterring animals, such as pets, from entering, getting onto, or being in certain defined zones/locations created by a user. The pet monitoring system includes a smart collar configured to communicate with a plurality of powered transceivers/transmitters, particularly Bluetooth transmitters and transceivers. Each of the transceivers or transmitters has a unique ID associated with it. The smart collar, a smartphone or other wireless communicating device can read and record the signal strength of each of the transmitters at various locations and use that information to create prohibited zones that can be downloaded onto the smart collar. The smart collar can also contain a stimulus emitter for providing a warning to the animal and a communication device configured to alert the owner.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a system and method for determining an animal compatibility score and recommendation based a dog's profile which includes breed and personality traits, an interaction detection and analysis algorithm, and scoring feedback from other users who have interacted with the animals. The disclosed technology can further include activating a keep-away mode that is configured to discourage an animal from coming near another animal that it is incompatible with.

Abstract: A system and a method for rating a pet and business and tracking the pets within a business. The disclosed technology includes a system comprising a transceiver, one or more processors in communication with the transceiver, and a memory in communication with the one or more processors. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to receive data corresponding to a pet, determine, based at least in part on the data corresponding to the pet, whether to permit the pet to enter a premises, and output a notification to a user device indicative of whether the pet is permitted to enter the premises.

Abstract: The following describes a drone guidance system and method utilizing a plurality of Bluetooth emitters that transmit indicator information to the drone, which can utilize the indicator information to determine if it is on the intended path or alternatively determine if it is near a prohibited flying zone. In alternative embodiments, the drone can communicate with the emitters, which can relay information to a pre-flight database.

Abstract: A pet monitoring and feeding system including having a dispenser, the dispenser having: a main body; a bowl provided about a base portion of the main body; a cavity configured to selectively receive the bowl; one or more dispenser sensors being configured to provide proximity data regarding environmental or pet parameters about the dispenser; and one or more food receptacles. The system further including a wireless transponder that could worn as a pendant or incorporated into a collar having one or more collar sensors that is configured to interact with the one or more sensors of the dispenser and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry being configured to receive sensor data from both the dispenser sensors and the collar sensors, the processing circuitry being configured to determine an appropriate portion size of a particular food being contained in the one or more food receptacles and activate the dispenser so as to dispense a selectively measured portion of the particular food.

Abstract: A system and a method for locating an animal in area no matter what type of communications that are present where the animal is located utilizing a smart collar. The smart collar communicates via different type of signals and a system and method are used to operate the smart collar in the most efficient mode in order to prolong the operating life of smart collar battery.

Abstract: A dog bark detection and deterrent method and system including a collar configured to be affixed to a pet, the collar having an audio transmitter configured to provide an audio stimulus; and a power source provided within collar operable to provide power to the audio transmitter, and an audio sensor. The collar is configured to determine when a dog is barking and provide stimulus to deter the dog from continuing to bark.

Abstract: A system and method for recommending and providing food to an animal which includes a computer and server system usable in conjunction with a feeder and a collar. The computer system being configured to receive input data from the following sources: food consumption information associated with an animal; activity information associated with the animal; profile data associated with the animal; environmental data associated with the animal; an animal profile database; an animal feed database. The system and methods then utilize data input so as to compares profile data associated with the animal to the animal profile database to determine an initial baseline for a given animal, and then compares food consumption information or activity information with the animal feed database so as to determine a type and quantity of food to be fed to the animal, as selected from the animal feed database.

Abstract: A pet training and location system including a collar configured to be affixed to a pet, the collar having a location determination mechanism; an audio transmitter configured to provide an audio stimulus; and a power source provided within collar operable to provide power to the audio transmitter, and the location determination mechanism. The system also includes a user platform configured to receive input from a user, the platform being operable to define at least one permitted zone where the pet is permitted to reside and at least one restricted zone where the pet is restricted from entering, wherein the collar is configured to provide at least one positive stimulus when the collar moves from the at least one restricted zone back into the at least one permitted zone.
