Abstract

As the number of households with companion animals increases, the demand to monitor the health of companion animals in remote locations far away is increasing. We are going to put a wearable device on a companion animal so that it can monitor the heart beat signal from a remote location. However, the monitoring method using Bluetooth has some disadvantages. it can be accessed only in a short distances. In case of WiFi, large power consumption is the problem. To overcome these issues, we propose a system to reduce power consumption by indirectly receiving a user's request using Bluetooth at a time when the user does not need it, and sending sensor data through WiFi when the user makes a monitoring request.

반려 동물을 키우는 가구가 늘어나면서 원격지에서 반려동물의 상태를 파악하려는 수요가 늘어나고 있다. 우리는 웨어러블 디바이스를 반려동물에게 착용시켜서 심박신호를 원격지에서 모니터링 할 수 있는 것을 목표로 한다. 그러나 블루투스를 이용한 모니터링 방식은 근거리에서만 접속할 수 있는 단점이 있고, WiFi를 통해 받아보는 방식은 전력 소모량이 크다는 단점이 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 사용자가 필요로 하지 않는 시점에는 블루투스를 이용하여 사용자의 요청을 간접적으로 받고, 사용자가 모니터링 요청을 한 경우 WiFi를 통해 센서 데이터를 보내는 방식으로 전력 소비량을 줄이는 시스템을 제안한다.
