Re: Pet stuff / follow up

Hi. I've been thinking about what you said. Steve's=been busy this week but says that after Friday (maybe even over the weeken=?) he should have a little more time. Here are some of my ideas, is this w=at you were thinking: Suggested names: </=pan> =span>. ipaws (i=aws.com http://ipaws.com refers to ipawz=com http://ipawz.com — a pet rescue agency; it also refers to Integrated Public Alert=and Warning System, from FEMA — as all caps IPAWS)<=font> =span>. petme =span>* gini (pet Jeannie) — sounds good in Chinese; like the=gini coefficient; name owned by a video importer from Asia but don't thi=k protected

• petesorri (like Montessori for pets)

Hardware and software:

=span>. Primary item 1: Pet collar with comms and/or telemetry =apacity

• tablet-like base/device =span>. (pod)<=u> Primary item 2: Windows-like program with basic functio=ality supporting multiple apps on

  =span>• App 1: Interactive/training software (including options=for pet owner voice or personalization)

  =span>• App 2: Stimulating sounds/games

  =span>• App 3: Owner and pet data entry, including shot records=and preventive health

  =span>. App 4: Owner and/or contact (vet?) alerts

  =span>. App 5: Food, clothing and toys ordering <=font>

  =span>. App 6: Scent dispenser (smell-o-vision) for behavior mo=ification

  =span>* Peripheral 1: HPS (household positioning system) based =n communication between pet collar and

pod and/or additional sensors depen=ing on range and size of pet's space. Software and hardware was develope= by a

team of us while at Caltech for home management of an Alzheimer's =atient (mother of a lab member). Could easily

revive and update.=/u>

=span>. Peripheral 2: FWS (food and watering system) based on d=rect communication with pod. Could be solar powered or even at some point =et-activated. Food freshness issues, connectedness to fresh water, germ is=ues.

=span>. Peripheral 3: Interactive Pet Screen (paw touch) must b= waterproof/lick proof either on pod or as

separate gear with articulating=or telescoping arms and release compartments (for interaction)</=>

=span>. Peripheral 4: Pet bed with telemetry

=span>. Peripheral 5: Potty training, ? temperature or weight s=nsors on training pads could offer treat treat/positive reinforcement</=>

=span>. Peripheral 6: In and out pet door<=font>

• Peripheral 7: Small cameras in all peripherals, or specific pet monitors.
