AKROUT Amine (IAM) : amine.akrout@esprit.tn

At the time when the pet is accustomed to eat,the system checks whether the bowl is empty, if it is, it sends a notification to the master that it's time to serve food to her pet. Users get the Email / SMS begins to fill the bowl, the system weighs food and point out to him by an LED that the quantity request has been reached. After the animal has finished eating, the system, connected to the internet by wifi, collects data (hours, weight consumed etc.) and saves them in a database. Then, a classification is presented to the user via our web interface. Our web interface is used to track the diet of the pet and helps the user to better control and avoid excessive problem or lack of food for the animal.

As the heart of our connected object, the PhidgetSBC3 (1073_0) is a good solution for our project. It provide enough computing power, input/output interfaces with it integrated PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8 and a 6 full-speed UBD ports. It runs a custom Linux distribution (firmware) and it can be accessed and configured the same way you'd configure a typical router through web based interface. However the huge size of the card can be a difficulty in some cases.

A reflective sensor is needed to detect if the bowl is empty. We would know the dimensions of the bowl and configure the sensor that he knows the distance between the edges. For the weight of the food, a force sensor will be needed. Placed in the bottom of the bowl this sensor can transmit the weight eaten in the day to our services which provide the user with the daily routine of he’s pet and give him advices. I thought about a food reservoir, and an intelligent mechanism that serve the dog if the master is not available and the dog want to eat in a time different than he’s routine. The system could listen to the dog by a microphone and if he insist the system allow him some food. It can be totally configurable t the user.

The device inteface of the connected object is an interface with a remote Mysql Database, which send the sensors values to be stored in the Database server.

The distance and weight beans, which translate the sensor values to the current distance and weight, needs to be compiled to .dll files and tranfered to the phidgetsSBC. The same for the connection Bean.

the prototype conteiner needs to be exported to a .wcc file and tranfered to the board.

The high level service for the user is the ability to follow the pets nutrition. It's can help avoid undernourishment, overnourishment and some diseases.
