ANIMAL EXERCISE ASSIST DEVICE AND ANIMAL ACTIVITY INFORMATION MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An animal exercise assist device that is mounted on an animal so as to assist exercise of the animal, comprising:
- a sensing unit that measures movement of the animal;
a control unit that generates activity information of the animal on the basis of a current degree of activity acquired by analysing the movement;
a memory that stores a target degree of activity of the animal and the activity information generated by the control unit; and
a display unit that displays the activity information in a predetermined format,wherein the display unit displays a ratio of the current degree of activity to the target degree of activity.

12. An animal activity monitoring method in an animal exercise assist device that is mounted on an animal so as to assist exercise of the animal, comprising the steps of:
-
causing a sensing unit to measure movement of the animal and to generate activity data; causing a control unit to analyze the activity data to determine an activity type of the animal and to calculate a degree of activity of the animal to generate activity information; displaying the activity information through the use of a display unit so as to cause a user to recognize the activity information; comparing the degree of activity with a target degree of activity; and displaying the comparison result with the target degree of activity in a ratio displaying format through the use of the display unit, wherein the display unit displays the ratio by causing only the slots of the number corresponding to the ratio out of the plurality of slots to emit light. - View Dependent Claims (13)
