Abstract
Provided is a method, device, and computer-readable medium for controlling a robot graphic user interface (“RGUI”) on a mobile device. The method can include determining a distance, a position, or both of the mobile device with respect to a first robot; and causing, by a processor, a first RGUI to be displayed on a display of the mobile device based on the determining.
Claims14
A method of providing a robot graphic user interface (“RGUI”) on a mobile device, the method comprising:
- assigning a first assigned RGUI for the mobile device based on a first waypoint on the first robot;
- assigning a second assigned RGUI for the mobile device based on a second waypoint on the first robot, wherein the second assigned RGUI is different than the first assigned RGUI and the second waypoint is different than the first waypoint and the first waypoint on the first robot is assigned to a first docking port on the first robot and the second waypoint on the first robot is assigned to a second docking port on the first robot;
- determining a current location of the mobile device based on a predefined location waypoint, wherein the predefined location waypoint is associated with a location on a user or a location on a first robot;
- determining a first RGUI or a second RGUI based on the current location;
- and
- causing, by a hardware processor, the first RGUI or the second RGUI that is determined to be displayed on a display of the mobile device.

A device of providing a robot graphic user interface (“RGUI”), the device comprising:
- a memory containing instructions;
- and
- at least one hardware processor, operably connected to the memory, that executes the instructions to perform a method comprising:
- assigning a first assigned RGUI for the mobile device based on a first waypoint on the first robot;
- assigning a second assigned RGUI for the mobile device based on a second waypoint on the first robot, wherein the second assigned RGUI is different than the first assigned RGUI and the second waypoint is different than the first waypoint and the first waypoint on the first robot is assigned to a first docking port on the first robot and the second waypoint on the first robot is assigned to a second docking port on the first robot;
- determining a current location of the mobile device based on a predefined location waypoint, wherein the predefined location waypoint is associated with a location on a user or a location on a first robot;
- determining a first RGUI or a second RGUI based on the current location;
- and
- causing the first RGUI or the second RGUI that is determined to be displayed on a display of the mobile device.
