1. An intelligent pet-feeding device, comprising:
a frame, configured with at least one output; at least one storage tank, for storing at least one kind of food while enabling each kind of food to be transported out of the frame from its corresponding output; a communication module, capable of performing a wireless communication with a remote end; an imaging module, for capturing images and thus generating image signals accordingly; an audio transceiver module, for receiving and transmitting audio signals, comprising:
at least one microphone, for collecting sounds from a pet and an environment in the vicinity of the intelligent pet-feeding device;an audio recognition system, for identifying any sound from the pet and the vicinity of the pet, comprising:
a detection unit, for detecting any sound from the pet and the vicinity of the pet and issuing a digital sound signal and a position detection signal indicating position of the pet accordingly; anda processor, capable of recognizing an emotion of the pet basing upon the digital sound signal so as to generate a corresponding control signal, and capable of processing the position detection signal so as to generate a corresponding driving signal for moving the intelligent pet-feeding device; andat least one speaker, for broadcasting sounds of an operator generated at the remote end; a pet weight scale, for measuring body weight of said pet; an imaging module, for capturing image signals of pet activities in the vicinity of the intelligent pet-feeding device; a driving mechanism, configured for enabling the frame to move; an interaction interface, for providing bidirectional signal communication between the intelligent pet-feeding device and the remote end, enabling the operator at the remote end to visually and audibly observe the pet, and effect sound generation by at least one speaker; and a central processing unit, electrically connected to the communication module, the imaging module, the audio transceiver module, the weight scale, the at least one microphone, the at least one speaker, the imaging module, the driving mechanism, and the interaction interface, for processing signals received thereby and generated therefrom; wherein the remote end is in communication with the central processing unit to effect real-time communication and visual and audio observation of a pet in the vicinity of the intelligent pet-feeding device, and said central processing unit determines whether said pet's appetite is greater than a feeding amount according to the equation:
(initial feeding amount−pet's appetite)>0. |
