Abstract:
An animal interaction device is provided that includes a food access component which allows and disallows access to at least a portion of the food. In various embodiments, the allowing and disallowing of access to at least a portion of the food is dependent upon the animal's condition. A method is also provided such that the device above is provided to an animal, one or more indicators are optionally activated, the animal's first condition is sensed via one or more sensors, and based upon the animal's condition, the previously protected food is made accessible, and subsequently the protected food is made available again based upon the animal's second condition. A system is also provided for automatically interacting with an animal including at least one animal interaction device each of which comprises an initial interaction algorithm to automatically interact with the animal. Other aspects of the invention are provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for automatically interacting with an animal, the system comprising: at least one animal interaction device each of which comprises an initial interaction algorithm to automatically interact with the animal, the initial interaction algorithm further comprising device instructions selected from the group consisting of:\n presenting stimuli; and continuously or intermittently recording variables selected from the group consisting of the animal condition, the device state, and the time of such recording; and controlling the timing and duration of the presentation of reinforcement selected from the group consisting of positive and negative reinforcement; wherein the intermittent recordings are transmitted to at least one remote computer; and further wherein the at least one remote computer is programmed to modify the initial interaction algorithm informed by the intermittent recordings, and transmit the modified interaction algorithm to the at least one device to replace the initial interaction algorithm.
