20130249694 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANIMAL CONTAINMENT, TRAINING, AND TRACKING - Systems for containing, training, and tracking animals (e.g., pets) utilize electronic animal tags or collars, including IR reception and two-way RF communication. An aimable IR directional zone defining unit includes selectable different modes of operation relative to an animal collar or tag. A RF base station arranged to communicat with an animal collar or tag includes is arranged to automaticlaly communicate with at least one terminal responsive to a receipt of a RF signal indicative of at least one of: condition of the animal, behavior of the animal, and proximity of the animal to the base station. The base station may further generate a user-perceptible alarm signal. A handheld remote controller adapted to communicate with the electronic animal collar or tag includes memory for digital media files, and an audio output element to deliver audible animal training instructions from the memory element. | 09-26-2013 |
20130092099 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANIMAL CONTAINMENT AND PREMISES MONITORING - Devices and methods for monitoring operation of components of animal containment systems, and for notifying responsible parties of faults, status, or changes of status of such systems are provided. A device for monitoring operation of an animal containment boundary defining apparatus detects presence, absence, magnitude, and/or change in magnitude of at least one electrical signal in a boundary defining wire, and generates a responsive alarm signal. Devices for affecting operation of a premises security system with a motion detector involve use of a secondary detector to detect presence, absence, proximity, status, or movement of an animal tag or collar. A secondary animal tag or collar with detection and communication capability may be used to detect operation status or failure of a primary animal tag or collar arranged to cooperate with an animal containment boundary defining element (e.g., buried wire). | 04-18-2013 |
20110061605 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANIMAL CONTAINMENT, TRAINING, AND TRACKING - Systems for containing, training, and tracking pets utilize electronic pet tags or collars, including IR reception and two-way RF communication. An aimable IR directional zone defining unit includes selectable different modes of operation relative to a pet collar or tag. A RF base station arranged to communicate with an pet collar or tar includes is arranged to automatically communicate with at least one terminal responsive to a receipt of a RF signal indicative of at least one of: condition of the pet, behavior of the pet, and proximity of the pet to the base station. The base station may further generate a user-perceptible alarm signal. A handheld remote controller adapted to communicate with the electronic pet collar or tag includes memory for digital media files, and an audio output element to deliver audible pet training instructions from the memory element. | 03-17-2011 |
