AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It's annoying for the user, so it's not usually done, but battery life is poor even with a fully charged battery
As a result, these known GPS pet tracker collars may not be of much help to known GPS pet tracker collars with limited or depleted energy storage if the pet is lost or stolen
Additionally, these known GPS pet tracker collars may detach or be removed from the pet, rendering the collar useless for tracking the pet's location

Embodiment Construction

[0050] The present disclosure is particularly applicable to tracking devices, systems and methods constructed as described below, and it is in this context that the disclosure will be described. However, it should be appreciated that the devices, systems and methods have greater utility, such as with motion powered animal tracker devices, systems and methods otherwise constructed and used with other mechanisms within the scope of the present disclosure. Motion powered tracking devices can be used to track moving objects such as vehicles, animals, and in particular land mammals such as people, dogs, cats, and the like.

[0051] figure 1 An animal 10 is depicted with a motion powered tracking device 14 . exist figure 1 In the example embodiment shown, motion-powered tracking device 14 may be attached to or integrated into something wearable by animal 10 (eg, collar 12 ). In an alternative embodiment, the motion-powered tracking device 14 may be implanted or placed under the...

For example, the Humane Society of the United States estimates that more than 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen in the United States each year. In other words, one in three pets will be lost at some point in their life. [0004] Pet and animal movement tracker devices are well known. These known pet and animal movement tracker devices suffer from various performance issues that limit the effectiveness of these devices. These performance issues include battery life, water resistance, durability, weight, size, inability to update personal and pet details, loss of tags and collars, lack of GPS and / or need for implants. Further details of these known pet tracking devices can be found at...
