    摘要: A pet affection indicator device presents information regarding the quantity of affection a pet owner is giving to the pet. The device includes a sensing assembly with a sensor element worn by a pet, and produces signals based on sensing of a human's touching of the pet near the sensor element. A processor receives the signals from the sensing element and calculates data associated with at least one of an amount, frequency and duration of the sensed touching and elapsed time since the last of the sensed touching. A memory is in electrical communication with the processor for storing the data. The device also includes an indicator that communicates to a human an indication associated with the data based on the touches. With this device, the pet owner, by paying attention to the indicator, will know if and when the pet is due for more affection.
