Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

In recent years, pets such as dogs kept indoors, such as urban condominiums, have increased along with the increase in living alone. However, there are situations in which only pets are forced to leave their homes during the day because of their owners' work.
In such a case, an increase in the anxiety of the pet itself, and a crying sound accompanying it, cause noise problems to neighboring houses.
In the present invention, when the owner is away, the pet (mainly a dog) is accompanied by the pet, and the pet's mood is stabilized and the noise is reduced by stopping the crying.

There is a system that senses the dog's waste barking and allows a weak current to flow through the collar, and the dog is surprised by treble and a vibrator to stop barking. In addition, there are technologies to attach soundproof walls and soundproof mats to prevent the sound from leaking to the outside, or to remotely monitor the owner by using an internet camera, etc.

Problems to be solved by the invention

In the conventional method, it is a method to stop barking forcibly, and it is not a good method from the viewpoint of animal welfare. In addition, when a soundproof wall or a soundproof mat is attached, it is effective in reducing noise, but costs are appropriate, and it is not effective in improving the mood of pets. There is also a technology that allows the owner to remotely monitor and speak remotely with an internet camera, etc., but the owner has to monitor frequently and is effective only during the monitoring time. In addition, installation of the device itself is generally difficult.

Means for solving the problem

It is an electronic device comprising a voice input unit (microphone) that senses the dog's voice, a part that analyzes and judges the voice, and a voice playback part (speaker) that actually performs voice calls.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the present invention.
(I) Dogs who feel anxiety when their owners are away will cry.
(B) This sound is sensed with a microphone, and it is determined whether or not the volume is above a certain level.
(C) When the volume is above a certain level, voice data such as the owner's voice recorded in advance is output through a speaker.
(D) The dog becomes quiet when he hears the owner's voice.
By storing a plurality of audio data and appropriately changing the audio data to be reproduced or changing the reproduction volume, it is possible to prevent the dog from getting used to it.
By analyzing not only the sound volume but also the sound volume, the sound data to be reproduced can be changed according to the frequency and the inflection of the sound.

The invention's effect

As described above, the present invention can provide a mitigating effect on dogs and reduce crying, so that noise to neighboring dwellings can be reduced. As a result, the owner can go out with peace of mind.
