Abstract
A method of controlling a shoe care device is provided. The method includes obtaining contamination level information of shoes by using at least one sensor, performing a shoe care operation in one operation mode among a plurality of operation modes, determining whether to transmit a cleaning request to at least one robotic vacuum cleaner, based on at least one of the contamination level information of shoes or the operation mode being performed, and transmitting the cleaning request to the at least one robotic vacuum cleaner, based on a determination to transmit the cleaning request.
Claims20
A method performed by a shoe care device, the method comprising:
- obtaining contamination level information of shoes by using at least one sensor;
- performing a shoe care operation in one operation mode among a plurality of operation modes;
- determining whether to transmit a cleaning request to at least one robotic vacuum cleaner, based on at least one of the contamination level information of shoes or the operation mode;
- and
- transmitting the cleaning request to the at least one robotic vacuum cleaner, based on a determination to transmit the cleaning request, wherein the at least one robotic vacuum cleaner is external to the shoe care device.
A shoe care device comprising:
- a container storing at least one pair of shoes;
- at least one sensor configured to measure a contamination level of the at least one pair of shoes stored in the container;
- a shoe care module configured to care for a condition of the at least one pair of shoes inside the container;
- a communication module;
- a memory storing at least one instruction;
- and
- at least one processor connected to the memory,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
- obtain contamination level information of shoes by using a measurement value of the at least one sensor,
- control the shoe care module to perform a shoe care operation in one operation mode among a plurality of operation modes,
- determine whether to transmit a cleaning request to at least one robotic vacuum cleaner, based on at least one of the contamination level information of shoes or the operation mode, and
- control the communication module to transmit a cleaning request to the at least one robotic vacuum cleaner, based on a determination to transmit the cleaning request.
