Method and apparatus for sending signals over an electric fence line
| Details |
Inventors: Walley, John Leonard;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Zimmerman; Brian
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP
A method and apparatus for electronically controlling an electric fence energizer. The method is characterized by the step of sending a user selectable coded signal along an electric fence line to the electric fence energizer, said coded signal causing the state of the electric fence energizer to change. The coded signal may come in a variety of forms, and in one embodiment the coded signal may comprise a number of short pulses sent predetermined times apart. Other types of signals may be sent with variations in amplitude or other differentiating characteristics. A coded signal that varies in the time domain is preferred due to signal attenuation. According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, a signalling device for interaction with a fence system is provided. The device has a power supply, signal producing means, and control means for the signal producing means. In operation, the power supply can provide power to the signal producing means, which is controlled by the control means to send a coded signal along the fence system. The preferred embodiment for the signal producing means is a capacitor, for the power supply, a battery, and for the control means a programmed microprocessor. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method of electronically controlling an electric fence energizer, characterized by the step of sending a coded signal along an electric fence line to the electric fence energizer, the coded signal causing the state of the electric fence energizer to change, characterized in that the method includes the step of applying partial validity checking to the coded signal.
2.
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the coded signal varies in the time domain.
3.
A signaling device for interaction with an electronic fence system, said device having a power supply, signal producing means, and control means to control the signal producing means, wherein the power supply has the ability to provide power to the signal producing means which is then controlled by the control means so that a coded signal produced by the signal producing means can be sent along the fence system, the signaling device characterized in that the coded signal produced allows partial validity checking to be applied by a receiver of the signal and, the coded signal when received causes the operative state of the electric fence systems energizer to change.
4.
A receiver for receiving a coded signal associated with an electric fence line, wherein the receiver is sensitive to a particular coded signal, and may apply partial validity checking to the coded signal received, and may cause the operative state of the electric fence lines energizer to change.
5.
A receiver as claimed in claim 4 wherein the receiver has direct control of the discharge mechanism of the electric fence energizer associated with the electric fence line.
6.
A receiver as claimed in claim 4 wherein the receiver is incorporated within an electric fence energizer associated with the electric fence line.
7.
A receiver as claimed in claim 4 wherein the receiver incorporates a filter which filters out electronic noise.
