Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling the barking of an animal that wears a monitoring device. The systems may obtain status information of the animal from the monitoring device, and determine whether the animal is barking based on the status information. The systems may also obtain a first audio signal representing a first sound from the monitoring device in response to a determination that the animal is barking, and determine whether an anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal based on the first audio signal. The systems may further cause the monitoring device to perform the anti-bark operation on the animal in response to a determination that the anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal.
Claims18
A system for controlling barking of an animal that wears a monitoring device, the system comprising:
- at least one storage device including a set of instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to communicate with the at least one storage device, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the at least one processor is configured to direct the system to perform operations including:
- obtaining, from the monitoring device, status information of the animal, the status information including a second audio signal representing a second sound;
- determining, based on one or more first voiceprint features of the animal and one or more second voiceprint features of the second sound, whether the animal is barking, wherein the one or more first voiceprint features being used to uniquely identify the animal;
- in response to a determination that the animal is barking, obtaining, from the monitoring device, a first audio signal representing a first sound;
- extracting, based on at least one of a sound frequency or a pitch of the first audio signal, a portion of the first audio signal as a target audio signal that represents a target sound made by the animal;
- determining, based on the target audio signal, whether an anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal;
- and
- in response to a determination that the anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal, causing the monitoring device to perform the anti-bark operation on the animal.
A method for controlling barking of an animal that wears a monitoring device, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from the monitoring device, status information of the animal, the status information including a second audio signal representing a second sound;
- determining, based on one or more first voiceprint features of the animal and one or more second voiceprint features of the second sound, whether the animal is barking, wherein the one or more first voiceprint features being used to uniquely identify the animal;
- in response to a determination that the animal is barking, obtaining, from the monitoring device, a first audio signal representing a first sound;
- extracting, based on at least one of a sound frequency or a pitch of the first audio signal, a portion of the first audio signal as a target audio signal that represents a target sound made by the animal;
- determining, based on the target audio signal, whether an anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal;
- and
- in response to a determination that the anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal, causing the monitoring device to perform the anti-bark operation on the animal.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising a set of instructions for controlling barking of an animal that wears a monitoring device, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the set of instructions direct the at least one processor to effectuate a method, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from the monitoring device, status information of the animal, the status information including a second audio signal representing a second sound;
- determining, based on one or more first voiceprint features of the animal and one or more second voiceprint features of the second sound, whether the animal is barking, wherein the one or more first voiceprint features being used to uniquely identify the animal;
- in response to a determination that the animal is barking, obtaining, from the monitoring device, a first audio signal representing a first sound;
- extracting, based on at least one of a sound frequency or a pitch of the first audio signal, a portion of the first audio signal as a target audio signal that represents a target sound made by the animal;
- determining, based on the target audio signal, whether an anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal;
- and
- in response to a determination that the anti-bark operation needs to be performed on the animal, causing the monitoring device to perform the anti-bark operation on the animal.
