Systems and methods for providing a sound masking environment
First Claim
1. A system comprising,a collar device including a sound masking component, the collar device including one or more collar device sensors for detecting physiological data of an animal;
- the collar device including one or more environmental sensors for detecting environmental data of the animal'"'"'s environment;
the collar device comprising one or more applications running on at least one processor for detecting an occurrence of one or more events using at least one of the physiological data and the environmental data, wherein the one or more events comprise one or more of at least one auditory event in an environment of the animal and at least one behavior of the animal;
the one or more applications for using outcome data and information of the one or more events to select a sound masking signal for delivery after the occurrence of the one or more events, wherein the outcome date comprises a previously detected difference in a behavior of the animal in response to at least one sound masking signal previously delivered by the sound masking component, wherein the sound masking signal comprises at least one selected combination of frequencies and amplitudes;
the sound masking component for delivering the sound masking signal; and
the one or more applications for logging the outcome date over time, the logging the outcome date including updating the outcome data to include a difference in the at least one behavior of the animal in response to the delivered sound masking signal, wherein the difference in the at least one behavior of the animal is determined using the physiological data of the animal and the environmental data of the animal'"'"'s environment.

Abstract
A system is described herein that comprises a collar device including a sound masking component, the collar device including one or more collar device sensors for detecting physiological data of an animal. The system includes one or more environmental sensors configured to detect environmental data of the animal'"'"'s environment and to transmit the environmental data to the collar device. The collar device comprises one or more applications running on at least one processor for detecting an occurrence of one or more events using at least one of the physiological data, the environmental data, and outcome data. The one or more applications are configured to use information of the one or more events to select a sound masking signal for delivery after the occurrence of the one or more events The system includes a sound masking component for delivering the sound masking signal.
