Problems solved by technology

However, the existing technology only integrates the function of the remote control with the smart phone to realize its control or remote control, and does not realize more detailed control functions
[0003] In addition, specific additional accessory devices are required in the prior art to limit the working area or working time of the robot. For example, US Patent No. 6,965,209 discloses that the working area of ​​the robot is limited by sending a beam of light through a virtual wall device, and the robot performs a turning action after receiving the light. ; Another example is that the Chinese published patent CN101482754 discloses that a magnetic boundary device is set on the ground to limit the working area of ​​the robot, and the magnetic sensor in the robot receives the signal signal to perform the steering action
However, virtual wall devices or magnetic boundary devices all bring additional cost and operational complexity, which is not convenient for users to use

Embodiment 1

[0050] figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the operation mode of the cleaning robot according to the embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 2 As shown, in Embodiment 1, the method for controlling a cleaning robot with a smartphone provided by the present invention includes the following steps: Step 100: The cleaning robot 300 collects information on the area A to be cleaned, and obtains the map information of the area A to be cleaned. The map information is the internal outline graphic of the area A to be cleaned, for example: the area A to be cleaned is the living room, which includes the sofa 400, the cabinet 500 and the TV 600. The cleaning robot 300 can obtain the overall outline of the living room and the outline graphics of various objects placed in the living room through the scanning distance meter provided by itself. Step 200: The cleaning robot transmits the map information to the smart phone through wireless transmission. Step 300: According to t...

Embodiment 2

[0052] image 3 It is a schematic diagram of the working mode of the cleaning robot in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Such as image 3 As shown, in the second embodiment, step 100 and step 200 in the method for controlling a cleaning robot by a smart phone provided by the present invention are the same as those in the first embodiment. Such as image 3 As shown, for example: the area B to be cleaned is still the living room, which includes the sofa 400 . The cleaning robot 300 can also obtain the overall outline of the living room and the outline graphics of various objects placed in the living room through the scanning distance meter provided by itself. The difference is that step 300 includes step 310 : divide the area by contour line graphics, set a part of the area where the sofa 400 is placed as the cleaning area B1, and set the area where no furniture is placed as the non-cleaning area B2. certainly, image 3 The above is just a simple example, and the situati...

Embodiment 3

[0054] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the working mode of the cleaning robot in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Such as Figure 4 As shown, similarly, in the third embodiment, step 100 and step 200 in the method for controlling a cleaning robot by a smart phone provided by the present invention are the same as those in the first embodiment, except for step 300 . The area C to be cleaned in the third embodiment is also the living room, and the method provided in this embodiment includes step 310': use the contour line graphics to divide into areas C1 and C2; step 320': set the cleaning mode for each area C1 and C2 , where the cleaning mode can be a random walking cleaning mode, a side-to-side walking cleaning mode, a spiral walking fixed-point cleaning mode, or a bow-shaped cleaning mode along the long side, etc. Such as Figure 4 As shown, no furniture is placed in the area C1, so the bow-type cleaning mode along the long side can be adopted, and the motion t...

Abstract

A method for controlling a cleaning robot through a smart phone comprises the following steps that (100) the cleaning robot collects information of a region to be cleaned to obtain cartographic information of the region to be cleaned, (200) the cleaning robot transmits the cartographic information to the smart phone in a wireless transmission mode, and (300) according to the cartographic information received by the smart phone, a user outputs an instruction to the cleaning robot through the smart phone in a wireless transmission mode to set specific operation programs for the cleaning robot. By means of the method for controlling the cleaning robot through the smart phone, the smart phone sets the specific operation programs of the cleaning robots in the wireless transmission mode by utilizing the mobile communication technology, operation is simple, convenient and rapid, working efficiency is high, and the effects of stability and reliability are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling an intelligent cleaning robot by a mobile phone, and belongs to the technical field of home appliance manufacturing. Background technique [0002] The conventional control methods of existing cleaning robots include roughly two types, one is to control it by inputting control commands through the remote control, and the other is to preset the control program in the control center set inside it according to the needs. mode to perform the various cleaning tasks required. With the rapid development of smart phones, their uses are becoming more and more extensive, and they have become items that people carry with them. Using smart phones to control household appliances can be done anytime, anywhere, and is generally recognized for its convenient and fast control methods. However, the existing technology only integrates the functions of the remote controller with the smart phone to realize its control or re...
