Patent ID: 7770541

Claim:
An animal training device, said animal training device comprising: a rover unit adapted to be carried by an animal, said rover unit comprising: a microphone adapted to receive an audible signal; a memory adapted to store at least one activation signal, the activation signal being a voice command; a processing device in electrical communication with said microphone and said memory, said processing device receives the audible signal from said microphone, said processing device receives the at least one activation signal from said memory, said processing device determines whether the audible signal is substantially similar to one of the at least one activation signal; a receiver in electrical communication with said processing device, said receiver adapted to receive a wireless signal; and a response signal delivery module in electrical communication with said processing device, said response signal delivery module delivers a response signal when said processing device determines that the audible signal is substantially similar to one of the at least one activation signal, said response signal delivery module delivers a response signal when said receiver receives the wireless signal; and a handler unit adapted to be carried by a handler, said handler unit comprising: a second microphone adapted to receive the audible signal; a second memory adapted to store the at least one activation signal; a second processing device in electrical communication with said second microphone and said second memory, said second processing device receives the audible signal from said second microphone, said second processing device receives the at least one activation signal from said second memory, said second processing device determines whether the audible signal is substantially similar to one of the at least one activation signal; and a transmitter in electrical communication with said second processing device, said transmitter transmits the wireless signal when said second processing device determines that the audible signal is substantially similar to one of the at least one activation signal.
