[0045] See Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a mobile robot and base station communication system provided in an embodiment of this application. The communication system includes a mobile robot 101 and a base station 102. A communication link can be established between the mobile robot 101 and the base station 102, and the two can exchange various information through this communication link.

[0046] The communication link can be established based on at least one wireless communication solution, such as Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) (e.g., Wireless Fidelity, WiFi), Bluetooth, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Frequency Modulation (FM), Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared (IR), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), and Long Term Evolution (LTE).

[0047] The mobile robot control system includes a mobile robot 101 and a base station 102. The base station 101 is equipped with a first auxiliary function module 1041. The first cloud platform 103 is provided with a program interface that provides developable programs, which are configured to be modified according to the first auxiliary function module 1041.

[0048] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a communication method for a mobile robot control system provided in an embodiment of this application. The mobile robot 101 is communicatively connected to a base station 102 and to a first cloud platform 103. The method includes:

[0049] Step S201: The first cloud platform 103 receives the control command sent by the terminal device 104;

[0050] Step S202: The first cloud platform 103 parses the control command and sends it to the mobile robot 101;

[0051] Step S203: The mobile robot 101 sends the parsed control command to the base station 102;

[0052] Step S204: Base station 102 controls the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation according to the received control command.

[0053] Specifically, the control command includes instruction information for controlling the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation, and may also include instruction information for controlling other auxiliary function modules located on the mobile robot 101 or the base station 102 to perform the target operation. The first cloud platform 103 parses the control command and sends the instruction information for controlling the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation to the mobile robot 101. The mobile robot 101 then sends the instruction information to the base station 102, and the base station 102 controls the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation. Specifically, the first auxiliary function module 1041 may be a module for adding and enriching the functional applications of the base station, and may include a lighting control module, an air purification control module, a voice response module, etc.

[0054] Taking the first auxiliary function module 1041 as a lighting control module and an air purification control module as an example, the first cloud platform 103 parses the control command and sends the instruction information for controlling the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation to the mobile robot 101. The mobile robot 101 then sends the instruction information to the base station 102. Further, the instruction information includes instructions for the lighting control module and the air purification control module. The base station 102 controls the lighting control module and the air purification control module based on this instruction information to perform the target operation.

[0055] For example, a user sends a control command through a terminal device 104, such as a mobile phone app, to adjust the brightness of the touch buttons on base station 102 to a warm light. The first cloud platform 103 receives the command, parses it, and sends the command to the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation. The mobile robot 101 then sends the command to base station 102, which controls the lighting control module to adjust the brightness of the touch buttons on base station 102 to a warm light. Similarly, a user sends a control command through a terminal device 104, such as a mobile phone app, to spray air freshener at a set time interval, such as 10 minutes, within a preset time period, such as 3 hours. The first cloud platform 103 receives the command, parses it, and sends the command to the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation. The mobile robot 101 then sends the command to base station 102, which controls the air purification control module to spray air freshener every 10 minutes within 3 hours. Alternatively, if the first auxiliary function module 1022 is a voice response module or other auxiliary function module used to enhance the functionality of the base station, the steps of this method remain the same and will not be repeated here.

[0056] Furthermore, the first cloud platform 103 is provided with a program interface that allows for the development of programs, which are configured to be modified according to the first auxiliary function module 1041. In specific applications, the first cloud platform 103 is configured to be modified according to the addition or removal of sub-modules of the first auxiliary function module 1041, such as the lighting control module, the air purification control module, and the voice response module, as well as the functional settings of specific sub-modules.

[0057] In this embodiment, a first auxiliary function module 1041 is configured in the base station. A first cloud platform 103 receives control commands from the terminal device, parses them, and sends them to a mobile robot 101. The mobile robot 101 then sends the parsed control commands to the base station 102 to control the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation. This allows the first cloud platform 103, connected to the mobile robot, to control the first auxiliary function module 1041 at the base station, thus enabling control of the first auxiliary function module 1041 from the mobile robot end. Furthermore, the first cloud platform 103 provides a program interface for developing programs, which are configured to be modifiable according to the first auxiliary function module. Therefore, the first cloud platform 103 can modify the developable program by configuring the first auxiliary function module 1041, thereby better meeting user needs and improving the user experience.

[0058] Further, see Figure 2It also includes base station 102 sending second status indication information to mobile robot 101, and mobile robot 101 sending the second status indication information to terminal device 104 through first cloud platform 103; the second status indication information is used to indicate the status information of first auxiliary function module 1041. Therefore, terminal device 104 can obtain the status information of first auxiliary function module 1041 located at base station 102, forming a closed-loop feedback.

[0059] In some embodiments, the terminal device 104 is a mobile phone, desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet computer, smartwatch, or mobile terminal, etc.

[0060] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart of a communication method for a mobile robot control system according to another embodiment of this application. This embodiment also includes a second cloud platform 105; the base station 102 is equipped with a second auxiliary function module 1042. The method includes:

[0061] Step S301: The second cloud platform 105 receives the control command sent by the terminal device 104;

[0062] Step S302: The second cloud platform 105 parses the control command and sends it to the base station 102;

[0063] In step S303, base station 102 controls the second auxiliary function module 1042 to perform the target operation.

[0064] Specifically, the control command includes instructions to control the second auxiliary function module 1042 to perform the target operation, and may also include instructions to control other auxiliary function modules located on the mobile robot 101 or base station 102 to perform the target operation, such as the instructions to control the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation mentioned above. Further, the second cloud platform 105 is connected to a third-party resource library, such as an audio resource library, a video resource library, etc. Further, the second auxiliary function module 1042 includes an audio playback control module, a video playback control module, etc. The second auxiliary function module performing the target operation includes calling resources from the third-party resource library and performing the target operation.

[0065] For example, the second auxiliary function module 1042 includes an audio playback control module. The user sends a control command through a terminal device 104, such as a mobile phone app. This command includes instructions to play the song "Qilixiang". The second cloud platform 105 receives the control command, parses it, and sends the instruction information for controlling the second auxiliary function module 1042 to perform the target operation to the base station. The base station 102 then controls the second auxiliary function module 1042, such as the audio playback module, to connect to and call a third-party audio resource library to play the song "Qilixiang". Alternatively, when the second auxiliary function module 1042 is a video playback control module or other auxiliary function modules that need to call a third-party resource library, the steps are the same and will not be described again.

[0066] Based on the design of the first cloud platform 103, which provides a program interface for developing programs and allows the programs to be modified according to the first auxiliary function module 1041, combined with the design of the second cloud platform 105 connected to a third-party resource library and the second auxiliary function module 1042 executing target operations, including calling resources from the third-party resource library and executing the target operations, the first cloud platform 103 and the first auxiliary function module 1041 can be used to add or remove auxiliary function modules and modify related function controls according to specific applications. The second cloud platform 105 and the second auxiliary function module 1042 can be used to call the third-party resource library to execute target operations, which greatly enriches the auxiliary functions of the base station and improves the user experience.

[0067] Further, see Figure 3 It also includes base station 102 sending second status indication information to mobile robot 101, and mobile robot 101 sending the second status indication information to terminal device 104 through second cloud platform 105; the second status indication information is used to indicate the status information of second auxiliary function module 1042. Therefore, terminal device 104 can obtain the status information of second auxiliary function module 1042 located at base station 102, forming a closed-loop feedback.

[0068] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a communication method for a mobile robot control system according to another embodiment of this application. The mobile robot 101 is equipped with a third auxiliary function module 1011, and a first cloud platform 103 provides a programmable interface for a program that is configured to be modified according to the third auxiliary function module. The method includes:

[0069] Step S401: The first cloud platform 103 receives the control command sent by the terminal device 104;

[0070] Step S402: The first cloud platform 103 parses the control command and sends it to the mobile robot 101;

[0071] Step S403: The mobile robot 101 controls the third auxiliary function module 1011 to perform the target operation.

[0072] Specifically, the control command includes instruction information for controlling the third auxiliary function module 1011 to perform the target operation, and may also include instruction information for controlling other auxiliary function modules located on the mobile robot 101 or base station 102 to perform the target operation, such as the instruction information for controlling the first auxiliary function module 1041 and the second auxiliary function module 1042 to perform the target operation as mentioned above. The first cloud platform 103 controls the third auxiliary function module 1011 to perform the target operation according to the control command sent by the terminal device 104. This includes the first cloud platform 103 receiving the control command sent by the terminal device 104, parsing the control command, and sending the instruction information for controlling the third auxiliary function module 1011 to perform the target operation to the mobile robot 101. The mobile robot 101 then controls the third auxiliary function module 1011 to perform the target operation. Specifically, the first auxiliary function module 1041 may be a module used to enrich the functions of the mobile robot 101, such as a lighting control module, an air purification module, a voice response module, etc.

[0073] For example, if a user sends a control command via a terminal device 104, such as a mobile phone app, to adjust the brightness of the panel on the mobile robot 101 to a warm light, the first cloud platform 103 receives the command, parses it, and sends the command to the third auxiliary function module 1011 to perform the target operation. The mobile robot 101 then controls the lighting control module to adjust the brightness of the touch buttons on the base station 102 to a warm light. For example, if a user sends a control command via a terminal device 104, such as a mobile phone app, to control the mobile robot 101 to spray air freshener at a certain time interval, such as 10 minutes, within a preset time period, such as 3 hours, the first cloud platform 103 receives the command, parses it, and sends the command to the third auxiliary function module 1011 to perform the target operation. The mobile robot 101 then controls the air purification control module to spray air freshener every 10 minutes within 3 hours. Furthermore, if the third auxiliary function module 1011 is a voice response module or other auxiliary function module used to enrich the base station's functional applications, the steps of this method remain the same and will not be described again.

[0074] Further, see Figure 4It also includes the mobile robot 101 sending first status indication information to the terminal device 104, and the second status indication information used to indicate the status information of the third auxiliary function module 1011. Therefore, the terminal device 104 can obtain the status information of the third auxiliary function module 1011 located on the mobile robot 101, forming a closed-loop feedback.

[0075] In some embodiments, the terminal device 104 is a mobile phone, desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet computer, smartwatch, or mobile terminal, etc.

[0076] Furthermore, the mobile robot 101 is connected to the base station 102 via a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module includes a first wireless communication module 1030 and a second wireless communication module 1060, wherein the first wireless communication module 1030 is located in the mobile robot 101 and the second wireless communication module 1060 is located in the base station 102.

[0093] The base station 102 parses and processes the received control commands through the second processor module 1050 and controls the first auxiliary function module 1041 to perform the target operation according to the parsed and processed control commands.

[0094] Furthermore, it also includes:

If the target operation has been successfully performed, it sends the second status information to the second wireless communication unit 1032 of the mobile robot 101 through the fourth wireless communication unit 1062. The second status indication information is used to indicate the status information of the first auxiliary function module 1041.
