Abstract

See full text

Pets require regular and controlled amounts of food and water for their best health. A single entry feeding zone ensures that only one pet can feed at a time. The single entry feeding zone contains a food bowl into which food may be dispensed. A sensor determines which pet is currently present and denies access to food if no authorized pet is present. A detection mechanism determines the amount of food each identified pet has consumed in order to manage pet diet and denies access to food if the pet has consumed the allotted amount of food. Network functionality provides remote data tracking, correlates pet feeding behavior across multiple feeders if present, and allows a pet owner to remotely adjust parameters of the feeder or view the pet through a camera.
