Abstract
According to the present disclosure, a measuring apparatus and an operating method thereof are presented which measure a heart rate and a breathing rate of a pet by using a radar sensor, and then confirm whether a health status of the pet is abnormal based on the measured data, and when it is confirmed that the health status of the pet is abnormal, transmit a notification message to an electronic terminal of a pet owner to support the pet owner to more rapidly respond to health abnormality of the pet.
Claims11
A measuring apparatus installed in a predetermined detection area indoors, and measuring a health status of a pet, comprising:
- a passive infrared (PIR) sensor for detecting a pet entering the detection area;
- a radar sensor for measuring a heart rate and a breathing rate of the pet entering the detection area;
- a measurement event generator monitoring whether a sensing signal is generated due to the entry of the pet into the detection area, through the PIR sensor, and determining that the pet enters the detection area when it is confirmed that the sensing signal is generated through the PIR sensor, and then generating a measurement event for measuring the heart rate and the breathing rate of the pet entering the detection area;
- a data generator measuring, when the measurement event is generated, the heart rate and the breathing rate of the pet entering the detection area through the radar sensor for a predetermined measurement time to generate heart rate data for a change in heart rate for the measurement time, and generating breathing rate data for the change in breathing rate for the measurement time;
- and
- a notification transmitter determining whether there is an abnormality in the health status of the pet entering the detection area based on the heart rate data and the breathing rate data, and when it is determined that there is the abnormality, transmitting, to an electronic terminal of a predetermined pet owner, a notification message for notifying that the health status of the pet is abnormal.
An operating method of a measuring apparatus installed in a predetermined detection area indoors, and measuring a health status of a pet, comprising:
- monitoring whether a sensing signal is generated due to the entry of the pet into the detection area, through the PIR sensor, and determining that the pet enters the detection area when it is confirmed that the sensing signal is generated through the PIR sensor, and then generating a measurement event for measuring the heart rate and the breathing rate of the pet entering the detection area;
- measuring, when the measurement event is generated, the heart rate and the breathing rate of the pet entering the detection area through the radar sensor for a predetermined measurement time to generate heart rate data for a change in heart rate for the measurement time, and generating breathing rate data for the change in breathing rate for the measurement time;
- and
- determining whether there is an abnormality in the health status of the pet entering the detection area based on the heart rate data and the breathing rate data, and when it is determined that there is the abnormality, transmitting, to an electronic terminal of a predetermined pet owner, a notification message for notifying that the health status of the pet is abnormal.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having a program recorded therein for allowing a computer to execute an operating method of a measuring apparatus installed in a predetermined detection area indoors, and measuring a health status of a pet, comprising:
- monitoring whether a sensing signal is generated due to the entry of the pet into the detection area, through the PIR sensor, and determining that the pet enters the detection area when it is confirmed that the sensing signal is generated through the PIR sensor, and then generating a measurement event for measuring the heart rate and the breathing rate of the pet entering the detection area;
- measuring, when the measurement event is generated, the heart rate and the breathing rate of the pet entering the detection area through the radar sensor for a predetermined measurement time to generate heart rate data for a change in heart rate for the measurement time, and generating breathing rate data for the change in breathing rate for the measurement time;
- and
- determining whether there is an abnormality in the health status of the pet entering the detection area based on the heart rate data and the breathing rate data, and when it is determined that there is the abnormality, transmitting, to an electronic terminal of a predetermined pet owner, a notification message for notifying that the health status of the pet is abnormal.
