Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cleaning devices inaccurately estimate the remaining cleaning area due to unchanged historical cleaning records, leading to inefficiencies and diminished user experience when the home environment changes.

Innovation Solution

The cleaning device updates its total cleaning area based on actual cleaned areas, calculating a remaining cleaning area using real-time data to improve accuracy and energy management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If historical cleaning records are used to estimate remaining cleaning area, then the calculation process is simple, but the accuracy of remaining cleaning area determination deteriorates when home environment changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of remaining cleaning area determinationVSAvoidcomplexity of cleaning area calculation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static historical cleaning records to dynamic real-time cleaning area tracking. The cleaning device continuously updates the total cleaning area based on actual cleaned areas during the current cleaning task, making the calculation adaptive to environmental changes while maintaining computational simplicity through incremental updates rather than complete recalculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using actual cleaned area measurements from the current cleaning task to continuously update the total cleaning area estimate. This feedback mechanism allows the system to correct deviations caused by environmental changes, improving accuracy without requiring complex predictive models by simply incorporating real-time measurement data into the calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If real-time updates of total cleaning area are implemented, then the accuracy of remaining cleaning area determination improves, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of remaining cleaning area determinationVSAvoidcomplexity of data processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining the total cleaning area before the cleaning task begins, based on historical records or preliminary scanning. This preliminary value serves as a baseline that is then incrementally updated during the cleaning task using actual cleaned area data, avoiding the need for complex real-time calculations while maintaining accuracy through systematic updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses partial action by updating only the portion of the cleaning area that has been actually cleaned during the current task, rather than recalculating the entire cleaning area from scratch. This incremental update approach reduces computational complexity while maintaining accuracy, as the system only processes the differential change (actual cleaned area) rather than the complete dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed are a data processing method and apparatus for a cleaning device, and a storage medium and a cleaning device. The method comprises: acquiring the total cleaning area of at least one region to be cleaned; acquiring an actual cleaning area, which is obtained by means of exploration when a cleaning device executes a cleaning action in the at least one region to be cleaned; updating the total cleaning area on the basis of the actual cleaning area; and by means of the updated total cleaning area, calculating a first remaining cleaning area, in which the cleaning device has not yet executed the cleaning action, of the at least one region to be cleaned.
