CORRECTIVE COLLAR UTILIZING GEOLOCATION TECHNOLOGY AND UNDERGROUND-WIRE FENCE

1 . A collar comprising:

a geolocation sensor configured to track a location of the collar;

at least one predetermined area defined by one of:

at least one geo-fence boundary separating an indoor location from an outdoor location;

an underground cable disposed along a predetermined geographic boundary;

wherein the collar is configured to temporarily disable the geolocation sensor in a first operational mode, and wherein the collar is configured to enable the geolocation sensor in a second operational mode; and

wherein the collar enters the first operational mode upon determining that the collar has crossed the at least one geo-fence boundary and is located within the indoor location and transitions to the second operational mode upon determining that the collar has crossed the at least one geo-fence boundary and is located in the outdoor location.

2 . The collar of claim 1 , further comprising a receiver configured to receive a signal from a transmitter, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the signal along the underground cable, and wherein the collar transitions to the first operational mode upon detecting the signal via the receiver and determining that the collar is within the predetermined geographic boundary of the underground cable.

3 . The collar of claim 1 , wherein the collar is configured by a user through an application on a user device or through a user interface of the collar to define the first operational mode and the second operational mode.

4 . The collar of claim 1 , further comprising an accelerometer configured to detect motion of the collar, wherein the collar is configured to transition between the first operational mode and the second operational mode based at least in part on motion data received from the accelerometer.

5 . The collar of claim 1 , further comprising a temperature gauge configured to measure environmental temperature, wherein the collar is configured to determine whether the collar is located in the indoor location or the outdoor location based at least in part on comparing the environmental temperature to local outdoor temperature data.

6 . The collar of claim 1 , wherein the collar is further configured to compare strength of received satellite signals to one or more strength thresholds to determine whether the collar is within the indoor location or the outdoor location.

7 . The collar of claim 1 , wherein the second operational mode further comprises outputting one or more

corrective actions to guide an animal wearing the collar back to the at least one predetermined area.

8 . The collar of claim 7 , further comprising a magnetometer configured to determine a direction in which the animal wearing the collar is facing, wherein the one or more corrective actions are configured to instruct the animal to orient itself toward the at least one predetermined area.

9 . The collar of claim 2 , wherein the collar is configured to automatically generate a boundary line by detecting presence of the signal from the transmitter via the receiver and recording a location where the signal is detected, and wherein the collar is configured to operate in the second operational mode until the boundary line forms a closed loop.

10 . The collar of claim 1 , wherein the collar is configured to transition to a lost mode upon determining that the collar is located outside a safe area for a predetermined amount of time, the lost mode comprising transmitting a constant stream of location data to a user device.

11 . A method comprising:

receiving, at a collar worn by an animal, geo-fence data corresponding to at least one

predetermined area, the at least one predetermined area defined by at least one geo-fence boundary

separating an indoor location from an outdoor location;

determining, whether the collar has crossed the at least one geo-fence boundary based at least in part on position data from a geolocation sensor of the collar;

responsive to determining that the collar is located within the indoor location, operating the collar in a first operational mode comprising temporarily deactivating location tracking via the geolocation sensor; and

responsive to determining that the collar is located within the outdoor location, operating the collar in a second operational mode comprising activating location tracking via the geolocation sensor.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining whether the collar is located indoors or outdoors based at least in part on one or more of:

signal strength of received satellite signals;

temperature data from a temperature gauge of the collar; and

proximity to a short-range wireless beacon.

13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

detecting, via a receiver of the collar, a signal transmitted along an underground cable

disposed along a boundary of the at least one predetermined area; and

responsive to detecting the signal, transitioning the collar to the first operational mode.

14 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a system to:

receive geo-fence data corresponding to at least one predetermined area, the at least one predetermined area defined by at least one of: a geo-fence boundary separating an indoor location from an outdoor location, and an underground cable disposed along a predetermined geographic boundary;

receive position data corresponding to a position of a collar worn by an animal from a geolocation sensor of the collar;

operate in a first operational mode responsive to determining that the collar is located within the at least one predetermined area, the first operational mode comprising temporarily deactivating location tracking via the geolocation sensor; and

operate in a second operational mode responsive to determining that the collar is located outside of the at least one predetermined area, the second operational mode comprising activating location tracking via the geolocation sensor.
