Abstract

This paper proposes an app-based feeder that performs functions such as distributing food and measuring exercise amount and a wearable collar that measures activity level to manage pet obesity in modern society where the obesity rate of pets is increasing. The wearable collar measures the pet's activity level and suggests the appropriate amount of food based on the average daily activity level. We studied an app-based pet feeding system that can provide the appropriate amount of feed per day through an app to enable obesity management even in unexpected situations.

본 논문은 반려동물의 비만율이 증가하는 현대사회에서 애완동물의 비만 관리를 위해 사료 배식과 운동량 측정 등의 기능을 수행하는 앱 기반 급식기와 활동량 측정 웨어러블 목걸이를 제안한다. 웨어러블 목걸이는 애완동물의 활동량을 측정하고 하루 평균 활동량에 따라 적절한 사료량을 제안한다. 급식기는 예상치 못한 상황에서도 비만 관리가 가능하게 하루 적정 사료량을 앱을 통하여 제공할 수 있는 앱 기반 애완동물 급식 시스템을 연구하였다.
