[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-3 This invention provides a cloud-based rental service platform system and method for third-party robots. The system consists of six core units: device access unit 1, tenant management unit 2, service configuration unit 3, billing and settlement unit 4, platform control unit 5, and service monitoring unit 6. Each unit works together to realize the full-process operation of cloud-based rental services for third-party robots.

[0031] In this embodiment, the device access unit 1 has multiple types of open interfaces. When a third-party robot manufacturer connects its robot equipment to the platform, the device access unit 1 automatically completes the adaptation and standardized registration of the device protocol. The entire access process is achieved only through interface docking. It does not modify the robot's underlying operating program, nor does it depend on the hardware equipment of a specific manufacturer. It is compatible with multiple categories and brands of third-party robot equipment, such as industrial robots and service robots. After registration, the robot will be included in the platform's unified device management system.

[0032] Tenant Management Unit 2 supports the registration and real-name authentication of enterprise tenants and individual tenants. After the tenant completes the authentication, the system will create a unique information profile for the tenant to realize the full life cycle management of tenant information. At the same time, Tenant Management Unit 2 will set independent data storage and access permissions for different tenants to achieve strict data isolation between tenants and ensure the security and privacy of each tenant's robot operation data and control data.

[0033] Service configuration unit 3 is the platform's personalized configuration module. Tenants can select the required robot control permissions, functional modules, service usage period, and number of robot devices that can be connected on the platform according to their own usage needs. Service configuration unit 3 will generate a personalized service configuration plan based on the tenant's selection and synchronize the plan to platform control unit 5 and billing and settlement unit 4 to provide a basis for subsequent function authorization and billing and settlement.

[0034] The billing and settlement unit 4 has a built-in multi-dimensional billing model that can automatically calculate costs based on the number of devices selected by the tenant, service usage duration, and function packages. During the service usage period, the billing and settlement unit 4 will remind the tenant of the renewal of services that are about to expire. At the same time, it provides the tenant with full-process billing management functions such as bill generation, bill query, and bill export, realizing standardized billing and settlement for commercial rentals.

[0035] Platform management unit 5 provides tenants with standardized cloud-based robot management functions. Tenants can monitor the real-time device status of connected robots, remotely control their actions, view operational data, and schedule tasks through the platform. Tenants can only perform management operations within the scope of permissions assigned by service configuration unit 3, thus realizing centralized cloud-based management and permission-based control of robots.

[0036] Service monitoring unit 6 is the platform's operation and maintenance support module. It monitors the overall platform operation status, service response quality, robot device online rate, and platform system operation stability in real time. If platform failures, service anomalies, device offline issues are detected, an early warning will be issued and pushed to the platform operation and maintenance terminal in a timely manner. Operation and maintenance personnel can quickly handle the situation based on the warning information to provide tenants with a stable platform user experience and ensure service continuity.

[0037] In this embodiment, the specific execution flow of the cloud rental service platform for third-party robots is as follows: First, the third-party robot accesses the platform through the open interface of the device access unit 1 to complete standardized adaptation and registration; then, the tenant completes registration and real-name authentication in the tenant management unit 2, and selects the corresponding rental package and service period in the service configuration unit 3 according to its own needs; the system allocates an independent cloud management space for the tenant according to the tenant's configuration information, completes function authorization and achieves data isolation; the tenant remotely monitors, controls and schedules the connected robots through the platform management unit 5; the billing and settlement unit 4 performs automated billing and settlement based on the tenant's actual usage data; the service monitoring unit 6 monitors the platform and service status in real time, provides stable usage guarantee and operation and maintenance support for the tenant, and forms a complete closed loop of robot cloud rental service.
