Abstract
An apparatus for an animal training device including audible and electrical stimulation. A transmitting unit provides control signals to a receiving unit, which includes a receiver, a processor, and a switch connected to a transformer and electrodes. The processor provides signals that result in varying voltages that produce electrical pulses of varying voltage levels, which are applied at the electrodes and provide electrical stimulation of an animal for training.
Claims6
In an apparatus for training an animal in which audible and variable level electrical stimulation is applied to the animal, a memory medium comprising software programmed to provide for controlling the stimulation applied to the animal by a process comprising:
- a) receiving an electronic signal representing a request message to stimulate the animal, said request message including an identification code and a stimulation level code;
- b) determining whether an electrical stimulation is to be generated to stimulate the animal;
- c) generating a first control signal corresponding to said stimulation level code;
- and
- d) outputting said control signal to produce a signal having a voltage corresponding to said stimulation level code.
A memory medium in an apparatus for training an animal, said memory medium tangibly embodying a program of executable instructions to perform method steps for controlling the intensity of a stimulation applied to an animal, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving an request signal containing at least a stimulation level code;
- (b) interpreting said stimulation level code;
- (c) setting a state for each of a set of outputs determined by said stimulation level code;
- and
- (d) generating an stimulation control signal based on said state for each of said set of outputs, said stimulation control signal having a voltage corresponding to a voltage of the stimulation to be applied to the animal.
