Abstract

A control method for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece. This method includes: detecting a dog barking sound; detecting vibration characteristics of the dog barking sound; determining whether the dog barking sound has reached a preset noise level or whether the audio characteristic of dog barking has reached a preset audio characteristic; determining whether the detected vibration characteristics during dog barking include a head shaking characteristic and a dog-larynx vibration characteristic; and when the dog barking sound has reached the preset noise level or the audio characteristic of dog barking has reached the preset audio characteristic and the detected vibration characteristics during dog barking include the head shaking characteristic and the dog-larynx vibration characteristic, determining that the dog wearing the barking prohibition piece is barking and that a predefined barking prohibition trigger condition is satisfied, and sending a barking prohibition action to the dog wearing the barking prohibition piece.

Claims (29)

1. A control method for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece that is worn on the body of a pet dog for prohibiting dog barking, comprising the steps of:

detecting a dog barking sound;

detecting vibration characteristics of the dog barking sound; wherein the vibration characteristics of the dog barking sound comprise a head shaking characteristic and a dog-larynx vibration characteristic during dog barking;

determining whether the dog barking sound has reached a preset noise level or whether the audio characteristic of dog barking has reached a preset audio characteristic;

determining whether the detected vibration characteristics during dog barking comprise a head shaking characteristic and a dog-larynx vibration characteristic; and

determining that the dog wearing the barking prohibition piece is barking and that a predefined barking prohibition trigger condition is satisfied when the dog barking sound has reached the preset noise level or the audio characteristic of dog barking has reached the preset audio characteristic and the detected vibration characteristics during dog barking comprise the head shaking characteristic and the dog-larynx vibration characteristic, and sending a barking prohibition action to the dog.

2. The control method for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of, prior to the step of detecting a dog barking sound:

presetting a noise level of the dog barking sound; and

presetting an audio characteristic of the dog barking sound.

3. The control method for barking prohibition in a harking prohibition piece of claim 1 , further comprising the step of, subsequent to the step of determining whether the dog barking sound has reached a preset noise level or whether the audio characteristic of dog barking has reached a preset audio characteristic:

determining that the dog wearing the barking prohibition piece is quiet and the predefined harking prohibition trigger condition is unsatisfied when the dog barking sound is below the preset noise level or the audio characteristic of dog barking is below the preset audio characteristic, without sending a barking prohibition action to the dog.

4. The control method for harking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece of claim 1 , further comprising the step of, subsequent to the step of determining whether the detected vibration characteristics during dog barking comprise a head shaking characteristic and a dog-larynx vibration characteristic:

determining that the dog wearing the barking prohibition piece is quiet and the predefined barking prohibition trigger condition is unsatisfied when the detected vibration characteristics during dog barking comprise none of the head shaking characteristic and the dog-larynx vibration characteristic, without sending a barking prohibition action to the dog.

5. The control method for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece of claim 1 , wherein

the dog barking sound is detected by an WC; and

the vibration characteristics during dog barking are detected by a motion sensor.

6. The control method for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece of claim 1 , wherein the barking prohibition action comprises sound, vibration, ultrasound, or electro-static pulse.

7. A control device for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece, comprising:

a dog barking sound detection module configured to detect a dog barking sound;

a dog barking sound vibration characteristic detection module configured to detect vibration characteristics of the dog barking sound, wherein the vibration characteristics of the dog barking sound comprise a head shaking characteristic and a dog-larynx vibration characteristic during dog barking;

a dog barking sound characteristic analysis module configured to determine whether the dog barking sound has reached a preset noise level or whether the audio characteristic of dog barking has reached a preset audio characteristic;

a dog barking sound vibration characteristic analysis module configured to determine whether the vibration characteristics during dog barking detected by the dog barking sound vibration characteristic detection module comprise a head shaking characteristic and a dog-larynx vibration characteristic;

a central processing module configured to determine that the dog wearing the barking prohibition piece is barking and a predefined barking prohibition trigger condition is satisfied when it is determined by the dog barking sound characteristic analysis module that the dog barking sound has reached the preset noise level or the audio characteristic of dog barking has reached the preset audio characteristic and it is determined by the dog barking sound vibration characteristic analysis module that the vibration characteristics during dog barking comprise the head shaking characteristic and the dog-larynx vibration characteristic, and send a barking prohibition instruction to a barking prohibition module; and

the barking prohibition module configured to receive the barking prohibition instruction sent from the central processing module and send a barking prohibition action to the dog wearing the barking prohibition piece.

8. The control device for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece of claim 7 , further comprising:

a preset module configured to preset the noise level of the dog barking sound and preset the audio characteristic of the dog barking sound.

9. The control device for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece of claim 7 , wherein

the dog barking sound detection module is an MIC and the dog barking sound vibration characteristic detection module is a motion sensor.

10. The control device for barking prohibition in a barking prohibition piece of claim 7 , wherein the barking prohibition action comprises sound, vibration, ultrasound, or electro-static pulse.
