Abstract
Disclosed are a robot cleaner, and remote controlling system and method of the robot cleaner. A cleaning map may be created by searching for a region to be cleaned, and a contaminant degree map may be created by detecting a contamination material and a contaminant degree according to each position within the cleaning region. The cleaning map and the contaminant degree map with respect to the cleaning region may be received at a remote place through the terminal device. This may allow a user to easily check information on a cleaning state, a contamination state, etc. of the cleaning region, and to control the robot cleaner based on the checked information.
Claims20
A robot cleaner, comprising:
- a contaminant degree detection unit configured to detect a contaminant degree of a region to be cleaned;
- and
- a controller configured to create a cleaning map by searching for the cleaning region, and configured to create a contaminant degree map from the cleaning map based on the contaminant degree.
A remote controlling system of a robot cleaner, the system comprising:
- a robot cleaner configured to create a cleaning map with respect to a cleaning region to be cleaned by searching for the cleaning region, and configured to create a contaminant degree map from the cleaning map by detecting a contaminant degree of the cleaning region;
- and
- a terminal device configured to control the robot cleaner by receiving the contaminant degree map from the robot cleaner, and by generating a control command with respect to the robot cleaner.
A remote controlling method of a robot cleaner in a remote controlling system of a robot cleaner including a robot cleaner which performs a cleaning operation with autonomously running within a cleaning region, and a terminal device which transceives data with the robot cleaner and remote-controls the robot cleaner, the method comprising:
- creating a cleaning map with respect to the cleaning region by the robot cleaner;
- to detecting a contaminant degree of the cleaning region by the robot cleaner;
- creating a contaminant degree map from the cleaning map based on the contaminant degree by the robot cleaner;
- and
- transmitting the contaminant degree map to the terminal device by the robot cleaner.
