Puppybook
Describe your app idea (500 words or less) *:
The Puppybook App is built based on a deep convolutional neural
network technology researching in our laboratory which can
accurately recognize 340 dog breeds in the world. The app is able
to distinguish the most difficult task between an Alaskan
Malumute and a Siberian Husky. By using the information from
recognition task, we can add more features to the app:
- Puppy Dictionary: After you recognize a dog, you can learn
more about them with personality, history, health, nutrition,
grooming information.
- Puppy Social: Based on the picture of your dog uploaded to
the app, the app will search for nearby person who have the
same dog in priority, next are different kind of dog. Then,
there is a group chat between people having the same dog
to share experiences, ask questions, prevent dog injuries,
diseases.
- Puppy Lost: If someone sees a wandering dog and uploads a
picture to the app, the owner can find the dog nearby
sharing the same type which label as lost. It will save an
abundant time by finding exactly the type of dog you lost.
Briefly, the purpose of the app is to create a dogs Facebook call
Puppybook which gives information about the dog you like,
sharing the care experiences, finding a lost dog. In the future, the
app not only limit in puppies but other pets.
What consumer or market problem will this App solve?
(200 words or less) *:
The Puppybook is created to solve the dog owner problems. They
are wasting time to find a lost dog because too many dogs are
lost especially in big cities. Also, they lack a place to ask and
share Q&A about how to take care their dog. Most prominently,
we propose a robust technique to recognize a puppy based on the
image, helping a dog lover learn more about the dog life.
Describe briefly why is there a need for this App? (200
words or less) *:
Based on the interview of 3 members in Petes Pet Posse (OSUs
Pet Therapy Program) and 8 dog owners. We found out 89% of
them are interested in the Puppybook app, especially the
therapies from Petes Pet Posse. They think it is a great idea which
help the dog owner learn more about the dog, and more
important since they can ask a question when they see some
weird behaviors from their dog and decide an immediate solution.
They are happy to be a part of the Puppybook partner and they
can share their knowledge about dog. For the dog owner and dog
lover, they think it will be a great app because when they come to
a pets day event, walk around on the street or a park, they see a
strange dog and curious what is the kind of dog. The app is
exactly a perfect tool to help them do that. Also, the Puppy Lost is
a great idea, but they think it will depend on how many users
using the app. If we can build a good network and many
interaction, it will really become an impressive app.
