Pet training system with geofence boundary indicator and software application
First Claim
1. A pet-related system comprising:
- a first dog collar including a GPS receiver and a processor operably configured to determine if the first dog collar is at or outside of a first user-selected geofence boundary; and
a mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to the first dog collar and including a processor operably configured to execute instructions of a first instance of a pet-related social network application to;
display a user interface of the pet-related social network application, the first instance of the pet-related social network application associated with a first social network identity;
receive, via the user interface of the pet-related social network application, a user input corresponding to the first user-selected geofence boundary of the first dog collar;
broadcast the first user-selected geofence boundary to the first dog collar; and
receive a proximity notification of the mobile electronic device'"'"'s proximity to a second mobile electronic device, the second mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to a second dog collar, different from the first dog collar, and the second mobile electronic device operably configured to execute instructions of a second instance of the pet-related social network application, the second instance of the pet-related social network application associated with a second social network identity, different from the first social network identity.

Abstract
A pet-related system with a first dog collar operably configured to determine if the first dog collar is at or outside of a first user-selected geofence boundary; and a mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to the first dog collar. The mobile electronic device is operably configured to display a user interface of a first instance of a pet-related social network application associated with a first social network identity; receive a user input selecting the first user-selected geofence boundary of the first dog collar; communicate the first user-selected geofence boundary to the first dog collar; and receive a proximity notification of the mobile electronic device'"'"'s proximity to a second mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to a second dog collar and operably configured to execute instructions of a second instance of the pet-related social network application associated with a second social network identity.

12. A pet-related method comprising:
-
displaying, on a display of a mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to a first dog collar over a network, a user interface of a first instance of a pet-related social network application, the first instance of the pet-related social network application associated with a first social network identity; receiving, by a processor of the mobile electronic device, via the user interface of the pet-related social network application, a user input corresponding a first user-selected geofence boundary of a first dog collar; communicating, by the processor of the mobile electronic device, the first user-selected geofence boundary to the first dog collar; determining, by a processor and a GPS receiver included in the first dog collar, if the first dog collar is at or outside of the first user-selected geofence boundary; and receiving, by the processor of the mobile electronic device, a proximity notification of the mobile electronic device'"'"'s proximity to a second mobile electronic device, the second mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to a second dog collar, different from the first dog collar, and the second mobile electronic device operably configured to execute instructions of a second instance of the pet-related social network application, the second instance of the pet-related social network application associated with a second social network identity, different from the first social network identity. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
