Robot cleaner, controlling method of the same, and robot cleaning system

A autonomous robot, comprising:

• a driving unit configured to move the autonomous robot;
• and
• a control unit comprising a region setting module configured to set a designated region within a cleaning region according to a designated region setting command inputted by a user, and configured to perform a cleaning operation with respect to the designated region according to a cleaning command, the designated region setting command being transmitted from a terminal device that is separated from the autonomous robot,
• wherein the designated region is formed based on a running path of the autonomous robot, the running path being generated based on sequential changing moving directions of the running autonomous robot according to a user input.

A autonomous robot system, comprising:

• a autonomous robot provided with a designated region cleaning mode, and configured to set a designated region within a cleaning region according to a designated region setting command inputted by a user, and to perform a cleaning operation with respect to the designated region according to a cleaning command;
• and
• a terminal device separated from the autonomous robot, and configured to receive the designated region setting command corresponding to the designated region cleaning mode or the cleaning command with respect to the designated region, and then transmit the command to the autonomous robot,
• wherein the designated region is formed based on a running path of the autonomous robot, the running path being generated based on sequential changing moving directions of the running autonomous robot according to the user input.

A method for controlling a autonomous robot, comprising:

• receiving a designated region setting command transmitted from a terminal device that is separated from the autonomous robot;
• generating a running path based on a path of sequential changing moving directions of the running autonomous robot according to a user input;
• setting a designated region within a cleaning region, wherein the designated region is formed based on the running path of the autonomous robot;
• and
• performing a cleaning operation with respect to the designated region according to a cleaning command.
