Mounting behavior detection system
Mounting behavior is detected easily. A mounting behavior detection system includes a mounting-side apparatus, a mounted-side apparatus, and a charging apparatus. The mounting-side apparatus is attached to the neck or the chin of a first domestic animal, is configured to emit a transmission signal, and includes a battery. The mounted-side apparatus is attached at any position from the back to the tail of a second domestic animal and is configured to transmit a response signal in response to the transmission signal. The charging apparatus is configured to transmit power wirelessly to the battery.
1. A mounting behavior detection system comprising:
a mounting-side apparatus attached to a neck or a chin of a first domestic animal, configured to emit a transmission signal, and including a battery;
a mounted-side apparatus attached at any position from a back to a tail of a second domestic animal and configured to transmit a response signal in response to the transmission signal;
a charging apparatus configured to transmit power wirelessly to the battery; and
a wireless charger configured to receive power transmitted from the charging apparatus,
wherein a communication interface is configured to transmit the transmission signal, and a coil or an antenna configuring the wireless charger also configures a coil or an antenna of the communication interface, and
wherein a terminal at one end of the coil or the antenna is switched by a switch between connection with a radio-frequency identification terminal connected to the communication interface that emits the transmission signal and connection with a wireless charge terminal connected to the wireless charger.
2. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 1 , wherein
the charging apparatus comprises a second communication interface configured to transmit a response signal in response to the transmission signal, and
upon the mounting-side apparatus transmitting the transmission signal and receiving a response signal in response to the transmission signal, the mounting-side apparatus determines whether the response signal is from the mounted-side apparatus or from the charging apparatus.
3. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 2 , wherein the mounting-side apparatus maintains a mounting behavior detection mode when determining that the response signal is from the mounted-side apparatus.
4. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 2 , wherein the mounting-side apparatus transitions to a charging mode when determining that the response signal is from the charging apparatus.
5. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 4 , wherein upon the mounting-side apparatus transitioning to the charging mode, the mounting-side apparatus determines whether a voltage of the battery exceeds a predetermined voltage.
6. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 5 , wherein the mounting behavior detection system returns to the mounting behavior detection mode when the voltage of the battery exceeds the predetermined voltage.
7. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 5 , wherein when the voltage of the battery is equal to or less than the predetermined voltage, the mounting behavior detection system instructs the charging apparatus to transmit power using the coil or the antenna and stops transmission of the transmission signal.
8. A mounting behavior detection system comprising:
a mounting-side apparatus attached to a neck or a chin of a first domestic animal and configured to emit a transmission signal at a first cycle; and
a mounted-side apparatus attached at any position from a back to a tail of a second domestic animal and configured to transmit a response signal in response to the transmission signal; wherein
the mounting-side apparatus is sealed by a sealing member, and
upon receiving the response signal, the mounting-side apparatus is further configured to repeat transmission over a second cycle shorter than the first cycle.
9. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 8 , wherein the sealing member comprises plastic including a resin selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin, a polyamide resin, a polycarbonate resin, and an acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene copolymerized resin.
10. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 8 , wherein the mounting-side apparatus is sealed so that only the sealing member and a holder are exposed.
11. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 8 , wherein the sealing member of the mounting-side apparatus and internal components to be sealed are fixed together by being molded integrally.
12. The mounting behavior detection system of claim 8 , wherein the sealing member of the mounting-side apparatus is formed by immersing internal components to be sealed in a liquid precursor of the sealing member.
