Executive Summary The app also will communicate with the backend web application where the user could be able to register, add details about the pet such as medical records. The app will be integrated with GPS tracking terminal which allows user to identify the exact location of their pets. An external device “GPS collar device” or the “P.E.T Come Home Collar Device” is required for purchase in order to activate the full functionality of the app. How this will work is that a signal is transmitted from the collar of the animal. Here a transmitting device will be either built into or attached to the collar of the animal, which transmits a signal to a satellite which is then relayed back to a web service & the data is recorded. However the Free app will provide free daily tips and articles for users to read on. Users can also input medical records and relevant details of their pet. Multiple great features ported in one app.

Executive Summary Chances of losing a pet will always likely to happen and a possible percentage increase will continue due to the busy lifestyle of this modern times. Actually Dr. Weiss advises that pets should be microchipped and wear identification collars with easy-to-read contact information.

“We suggest that the tag should have the cell phone number of the pet parent, the cell number of an emergency contact, the land line of the pet parent, and if the person is comfortable doing so, the street address of their home,” she says.

We utilize telecommunication services such as local and long distance transmission of voice, graphics, data by means of telephone, telegraphic, cable, and satellite transmissions. We also provide a computer service by acting as an application service provider in the field of knowledge management to host computer application software. This software searches and retrieves information from databases and computer networks

Page 11: P.E.T. Come Home App MRD

2.Overview The app will be developed using iOS and android platforms. The app will be integrated with GPS tracking terminal which allows user to identify the exact location of their pets. The app also will be integrated with the backend web application where the user could be able to register, add details about the pet such as Adding Medical Records, etc.,”.

The app also facilitates the user to set the demographic information of where the pet resides and also they would be able to set predefined distance, once the pet reaches predefined distance the user will get an alert on their mobile device.

Page 12: P.E.T. Come Home App MRD

Mobile App Functionalities

Once the User has downloaded the app from the App/Android store the app should direct them to the appropriate website based on their demographic. This is preferred but not essential as some users might want to enter data directly from their respective phones.

GPS tracking of the Pet (Dogs & Cats primarily). How this will work is that a signal is transmitted from the collar of the animal. Here a transmitting device will be either built into or attached to the collar of the animal, which transmits a signal to a satellite which is then relayed back to a web service & the data is recorded.

The distance travelled should be set at the Users discretion, but our suggestion would be for the App to have the following 'Distance Settings': 20metres, 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters & or 'Other', as well as a function to switch the transmitter 'OFF'.

Page 13: P.E.T. Come Home App MRD

Mobile App Functionalities

GPS should be constantly tracking the animal until found.

A GUI with selectable options that can be shared through app users on the same account to be able to notify each other if the Dog/Cat has been 'Fed, or if the Dog has been 'Walked'

A live calendar that sends user a pop up when an event is due within 24hrs or overdue after 7 days of event date, including a 'Happy Birthday Gingle' for your pet on its calendar birthday..
