INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18451317 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can determine the condition of a non-human animal moving on a mobile body based on vibration detection results.

  • The apparatus includes processors and memories to obtain vibration detection results for the animal and its surrounding environment, and analyze a vibration pattern stored in a database to determine the animal's condition.
  • By analyzing vibrations from the animal and its environment, the apparatus can assess the animal's well-being or behavior in real-time, providing valuable insights for monitoring and care.

Potential Applications of this Technology

This technology could be applied in various fields such as agriculture, wildlife conservation, and pet care to monitor the health and behavior of animals on the move.

Problems Solved by this Technology

This technology addresses the challenge of monitoring non-human animals in motion, providing a non-intrusive and efficient way to assess their condition and well-being.

Benefits of this Technology

The technology offers a non-invasive method to monitor animals, enabling early detection of health issues or abnormal behavior, leading to timely intervention and improved care.

Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of smart collars or tags for pets and livestock, offering owners and farmers real-time insights into the well-being and behavior of their animals.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of GPS trackers for monitoring animal movements, but this technology goes a step further by analyzing vibrations to determine the animal's condition and behavior.

What are the specific vibration patterns analyzed by the apparatus to determine the animal's condition?

The specific vibration patterns analyzed by the apparatus are accumulated in a database and are likely based on known patterns associated with different animal behaviors or health conditions.

How does the apparatus differentiate between vibrations from the animal and vibrations from the surrounding environment?

The apparatus likely uses advanced algorithms to distinguish between vibrations caused by the animal's movements and vibrations from the environment, such as wind or other external factors. This differentiation is crucial for accurately assessing the animal's condition.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus configured to determine a condition of an animal that is other than a human and moving on a mobile body. The information processing apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute: obtaining a first vibration detection result indicating vibration of the animal and a second vibration detection result indicating vibration in a surrounding environment of the animal; and determining the condition of the animal based on the first vibration detection result, the second vibration detection result, and a vibration pattern that is accumulated in a database.
