Abstract
A robot cleaner includes a camera, a display unit configured to display a cleaning region projected by the camera, a communication unit configured to perform communication with a mobile terminal to receive an image including the cleaning region captured by the mobile terminal, and a control unit configured to search a cleaning region based on a traveling path of the robot cleaner, to predict an estimated traveling path of the robot cleaner based on the cleaning region and the image including the cleaning region, to generate an augmented reality (AR) image of the estimated traveling path, and to display the AR image to be superimposed on the image including the cleaning region.
Claims20
A robot cleaner comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive an image captured by a mobile terminal;
- a control unit configured to search a cleaning region based on a traveling path of the robot cleaner, to acquire an estimated traveling path of the robot cleaner based on the searched cleaning region and the image received from the mobile terminal, and to generate an augmented reality (AR) image of the estimated traveling path;
- and
- a display unit configured to display the AR image to be superimposed on the image received from the mobile terminal.
An augmented reality (AR) system comprising:
- a mobile terminal configured to capture an image and to transmit the captured image to a robot cleaner;
- and
- the robot cleaner including:
- a communication unit configured to receive the image from the mobile terminal;
- a control unit configured to search a cleaning region based on a traveling path of the robot cleaner, to acquire an estimated traveling path of the robot cleaner based on the searched cleaning region and the image received from the mobile terminal, and to generate an augmented reality (AR) image of the estimated traveling path;
- and
- a display unit configured to display the AR image to be superimposed on the image received from the mobile terminal.
A non-transitory recording medium having recorded thereon a computer-readable program for performing a method of operating a robot cleaner, the method comprising:
- receiving an image captured by a mobile terminal from the mobile terminal;
- searching a cleaning region based on a traveling path of the robot cleaner;
- acquiring an estimated traveling path of the robot cleaner based on the searched cleaning region and the image received from the mobile terminal;
- generating an augmented reality (AR) image of the estimated traveling path;
- and
- displaying the AR image to be superimposed on the image received from the mobile terminal.
