Animal training system with multiple configurable correction settings
View Patent ↗A receiver for an animal training system which includes a stimulation unit for providing at least one stimulus having a quantity of energy pulses and a stimulus pulse width; and a controller connected to the stimulation unit. The controller receives at least one transmitted signal and assigns amplitude information and rate information to at least one correction signal. The stimulation unit receives the at least one correction signal and outputs a corresponding stimulus having the quantity of energy pulses corresponding to the rate information. The stimulus has the stimulus pulse width corresponding to the amplitude information.
1. A receiver for an animal training system, comprising:
a stimulation unit for providing at least one stimulus having a quantity of energy pulses and a stimulus pulse width; and
a controller connected to said stimulation unit, said controller for receiving at least one transmitted signal and for assigning amplitude information and rate information to at least one correction signal, said stimulation unit for receiving said at least one correction signal and outputting a corresponding said stimulus having said quantity of energy pulses corresponding to said rate information, and said stimulus having said stimulus pulse width corresponding to said amplitude information.
2. The receiver of claim 1 , wherein said at least one transmitted signal comprises a first transmitted signal and a second transmitted signal, said stimulation unit providing a first stimulus corresponding to said first transmitted signal and a second stimulus corresponding to said second transmitted signal.
3. The receiver of claim 2 , wherein said first transmitted signal is a outdoor type signal and said second transmitted signal is an indoor type signal.
4. The receiver of claim 2 , wherein said first stimulus is different than said second stimulus.
5. The receiver of claim 4 , wherein said first stimulus is different than said second stimulus by at least one of said quantity of energy pulses and said stimulus pulse width.
6. The receiver of claim 1 , further including a communication interface connected to said controller, said communication interface for programming said controller to provide a respective said correction signal corresponding to a respective transmitted signal.
7. The receiver of claim 6 , wherein said communication interface is a serial interface.
8. The receiver of claim 7 , wherein said receiver includes a plurality of battery terminals, said serial interface uses at least one of said plurality of battery terminals.
9. The receiver of claim 1 , further including a collar connected to said receiver.
10. An animal training system, comprising:
at least one transmitter transmitting at least one transmitted signal;
a receiver in electrical communication with said at least one transmitter, said receiver including:
a stimulation unit for providing at least one stimulus having a quantity of energy pulses and a stimulus pulse width; and
a controller connected to said stimulation unit, said controller for receiving said at least one transmitted signal and for assigning amplitude information and rate information to at least one correction signal, said stimulation unit for receiving said at least one correction signal and outputting a corresponding said stimulus having said quantity of energy pulses corresponding to said rate information, and said stimulus having said stimulus pulse width corresponding to said amplitude information.
