Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, if a service or content for a robot is to be provided from the network, there is such inconvenience because the kind of robot is different among manufacturers, and also because robots produced by the same manufacturer may be different in hardware. Architectures or platforms such as operating systems, middleware products, applications, or content are different, so various services or content need to be provided to multiple robotic devices

[0056] FIG. 1 shows a schematic structure of an information providing system of a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] The robotic device is capable of interacting with the user, for example by conducting a dialogue. The robotic device is connected to the Internet via wired or wireless paths. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 there are two users 1a, 1b and two robotic devices, ie robotic devices 2a, 2b, in the system. In the following explanation, if there is no particular need to distinguish users 1a and 1b from each other, these users will be represented as user 1 each, and if there is no particular necessity to distinguish robots 2a and 2b from each other, will be Each of these devices is indicated as a robot device 2 .

[0058] A server 100 accessible from the robot device 2 is installed on the Internet. The server 100 manages content provided to users via the robot device 2 . Other routine sites 150 are connected to the Internet, enabling the user 1 to access...

[0179] Fig. 8 schematically shows the overall architecture of the information providing system of the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0180] Assume that robot devices in different homes are connected to the Internet through, for example, a home gateway. In the embodiment of Fig. 8, there are 3 users 1a, 1b, 1c and 3 robotic devices, ie robotic devices 2a, 2b, 2c, in the system. In the following description, if there is no particular need to distinguish the users 1a, 1b, and 1c from each other, these users are each represented as a user 1, and if there is no particular necessity to distinguish the robot devices 2a to 2c from each other, then Each of these devices is denoted as a robot device 2 . On the Internet, a server 100 that provides services to the robot apparatus 2 is installed.

[0181] FIG. 9 shows the overall communication between the robot device 2 and the server 100 . That is, the robot device 2 requests a service from the server 100 . At thi...

Abstract

The robot device and the server communicate according to the SOAP protocol. The information about the service request described in the inquiry from the robot device and the information about the robot device are matched with additional information such as data or programs, so that when there are multiple robot devices with different hardware configurations and platforms Data and programs suitable for each robotic device are provided in the platform environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus, method and system for providing data or programs over a network. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus, method and system for providing data or programs to a robot device through a network. [0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to a method, apparatus and system for providing information, in which data or programs are provided to a plurality of robotic devices different in hardware architecture and platform, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a A method, device and system, wherein data or programs are provided according to differences in hardware architectures and platforms (multi-robot platforms). [0003] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-092166 filed in Japan on March 28, 2003, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0004] A mechanical device for kinema...
