Defecation alert system and related control system and process

摘要

The defecation control system process disclosed herein includes activating a communication circuit of at least one ingestible tracker having a size and shape for travel to a rectum of a host and a transmission circuit of a monitor fixable to the host at a substantially constant distance relative to the rectum, generating at least one tracking distance based at least in part on communication between the communication circuit of the ingestible tracker and the transmission circuit of the monitor, comparing the tracking distance to a predetermined trigger distance stored in a database, and activating an electronic accessory when the tracking distance is within a predetermined threshold of the trigger distance.

1. A process carried out with respect to a defecation control system, the process comprising the steps of:
activating a communication circuit of at least one ingestible tracker having a size and shape for ingestion and travel to a rectum of a host and a transmission circuit of a monitor fixable to the host at a substantially constant distance relative to the rectum; generating at least one tracking distance based at least in part on communication between the communication circuit of the ingestible tracker and the transmission circuit of the monitor; comparing the tracking distance to a predetermined trigger distance stored in a database; and operating an electronic accessory when the tracking distance is within a predetermined threshold of the trigger distance indicating the host needs to defecate.
