Bowlingual, one of US Time magazine’s 42 coolest inventions of 2015, has two parts.A
wireless(无线的) microphone is attached to the dog’s collar(项圈), which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.The translation is done in the gadget using a database(数据库)including every kind of bark.
Based on animal behavior research, there are six kinds of dogs' barks:happiness, sadness, frustration(沮丧), anger, declaration and desire.
Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like “Let’s play,” “Look at me,” or “Spend more time with me” . In this way, the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion, which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.
When a visitor went to Fukuda’s house recently, the dog barked a loud “bow wow”.This is
translated as “Don’t come this way”.It was followed by “I’m stronger than you” as the dog shouted angrily at the visitor.
Up to 100 barks can be put in the gadget and kept there so that the owners can listen to them later. And at the same time, the dogs’ emotions can be recorded when the owner is away.
The product will be on sale in the US pet stores this summer for about US $120.
