The monitoring method of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below by taking the monitoring target as a pet and the monitoring device as a collar.

 An embodiment of the monitoring method of the present invention is provided with reference to FIG. 1. The monitoring method of this embodiment is applied to a collar of a pet, and the method includes the following steps:

 [0054] Sl l, scanning wireless signals.

 [0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the pet is started to be monitored, the collar worn on the neck of the pet scans the nearby wireless signal. The wireless signal in the embodiment of the present invention is a short-range wireless communication signal, such as Bluetooth, Wireless-Fidelity (WIFl) NFC (Near Field Communication, Near Field Communication).

I n /

[0056] Optionally, when the user's terminal device (the terminal device associated with the collar) initiates the pet monitoring mode, the server sends a start signal to initiate the collar to scan the wireless signal, and of course, by pressing the item. The start button of the circle initiates scanning of the wireless signal.

 [0057] Optionally, the collar monitors the movement state of the pet through a sensor (such as a vibration sensor, a gyroscope, etc.), and counts the number of steps of the pet movement through the counter, and scans the wireless signal once the number of steps reaches the threshold. Among them, the counter can be cleared when the number of steps reaches the threshold. The threshold can be set according to actual needs, or can be customized by the user. For example, it can be set between 50-70 steps, for example, 50 steps, that is, the wireless signal is scanned every time the pet moves 50 steps.

 [0058] Optionally, the collar scans the wireless signal every preset time. The preset time can be set according to actual needs, or can be customized by the user. For example, it can be set between 5-10 minutes. If it is set to 5 minutes, the wireless signal is scanned every 5 minutes.

 [0059] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, in addition to this, other scanning conditions can be set, and each time the scanning condition is satisfied, the collar scans the nearby wireless signal, which is not described in the present invention.

[0060] S12. Determine whether a preset reference wireless signal is scanned. When the reference wireless signal is scanned, no response is received; when the reference wireless signal is not scanned, the process proceeds to step S13.

 In the embodiment of the present invention, the reference wireless signal is preset, and the information of the reference wireless signal may be stored in the collar or may be stored in the cloud. The reference wireless signal can be set to one or two or more. Setting the reference wireless signal is equivalent to setting the electronic fence for the pet. Because the signal range of the wireless signal is limited, the signal range of the reference wireless signal is the boundary range of the electronic fence.

 [0062] In this step S12, the collar determines whether there is a reference wireless signal in the scanned wireless signal according to the information of the scanned wireless signal and the information of the preset reference wireless signal, and when there is a reference wireless signal, the determination scan Go to the reference wireless signal, otherwise it is determined that the reference wireless signal is not scanned. The information of the wireless signal is, for example, a WIFI SSID (Service Set Identifier), a Bluetooth device, an NFC name, and the like.

 [0063] For example, the collar scans the nearby WIFI signal, obtains the WIFI SSID list, and searches for the SSID of the reference WIFI signal in the WIFI SSID list, and if so, determines that the reference wireless signal is scanned, and if not, determines that the scan is not performed. Reference wireless signal.

[0064] Optionally, when the information of the reference wireless signal is stored in the cloud (such as a server), the collar may send the information of the scanned wireless signal to the cloud, and the cloud searches for the base in the scanned wireless signal. The quasi-wireless signal returns the search result to the collar. When the search result is that the scanned radio signal has the reference radio signal 吋, it is determined that the reference radio signal is scanned, otherwise it is determined that the reference radio signal is not scanned. In addition, the collar may also request the cloud to obtain the information of the reference wireless signal, and then determine whether to scan the reference wireless signal according to the acquired information of the reference wireless signal and the information of the scanned wireless signal.

 [0065] Optionally, when the information of the reference wireless signal is stored in the collar local area, the collar directly searches for the reference wireless signal in the scanned wireless signal, and when there is the reference wireless signal, determines to scan the reference wireless signal. , otherwise it is determined that the reference wireless signal is not scanned.

 In the embodiment of the present invention, if there are multiple reference wireless signals, if there is a preset number of reference wireless signals 扫描 in the scanned wireless signal, it is determined that the reference wireless signal is scanned, otherwise it is determined that there is no Scan to the reference wireless signal. The preset number may be one, two or more.

 [0067] S13, the upper alarm information.

 [0068] In this step S13, when the reference wireless signal is not scanned, it indicates that the pet ran out of the signal range of the reference wireless signal, that is, the boundary range of the electronic fence is ran out, and the collar immediately alarms, and the alarm 吋 information, notification user.

 [0069] Optionally, the collar may directly display an alarm message to the terminal device associated with the collar. After receiving the warning information, the terminal device promptly reminds the user, preferably reminds the user through the sound information, and may also remind the user by means of lighting information, vibration information, visual information, etc., or adopt any two or more of the foregoing methods. Combine to remind users.

 [0070] Optionally, the collar may also display an alarm message to the server. After receiving the warning information, the server immediately sends the warning information to the corresponding terminal device (the terminal device associated with the collar), such as sending a short message to the terminal device. MMS, instant messaging, e-mail, making a call, etc., or pushing notification information to a specific application (APP) of a terminal device. After receiving the warning message, the terminal device immediately reminds the user.

 [0071] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the information of the reference wireless signal is stored in the collar local area, step S10 is further included before step S11: the information of the reference wireless signal is acquired and stored.

The monitoring method described in this embodiment is the monitoring method involved in the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, and details are not described herein again.

 [0108] The electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention performs the foregoing monitoring method by configuring an application program, and uses the signal range of the preset reference wireless signal as the boundary range of the electronic fence, and when the reference wireless signal is not scanned, the pet is determined. The monitoring target is currently outside the signal range of the reference wireless signal, that is, when the boundary range of the electronic fence is ran out, the alarm information is immediately displayed, and the user is reminded. Therefore, no additional hardware equipment is needed, and only the wireless communication module such as the existing WIFI module and the Bluetooth module in the monitoring device such as the pet collar can be used to monitor the monitoring target and understand the movement of the monitoring target, and also need not The user sets the electronic fence on the terminal device, which simplifies the user operation, and the terminal device does not need to perform the distance calculation process, thereby reducing the requirement for the processing capability of the terminal device, thereby greatly simplifying the implementation of the pet monitoring and reducing the implementation cost. .

 [0109] Moreover, when the user arrives at any place, the wireless signal of the place can be set as the reference wireless signal to monitor the monitoring target, and the monitoring mode is extremely flexible, which greatly improves the user experience.
