Method and apparatus for performing cleaning operation by cleaning device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Smart cleaning devices perform cleaning operations in an undiversified manner, lacking the ability to adapt to varying user locations and preferences, which limits their effectiveness and user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine the geographical location of a user and a cleaning device, allowing the device to perform cleaning operations based on specified modes, such as avoidance or tracking modes, to adjust cleaning intensity and area according to user presence and duration, using a processor and memory to execute instructions for diversified cleaning operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaning device performs cleaning operations in a fixed undiversified manner, then the device structure remains simple, but the adaptability to different user locations and preferences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device transitions from fixed undiversified cleaning operations to dynamic diversified cleaning operations by acquiring user geographical location information and adjusting cleaning parameters (cleaning strength, cleaning area, avoidance or tracking mode) based on real-time user location and duration of stay, making the cleaning behavior adaptive and flexible
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously acquiring user geographical location information through the terminal device, determining duration of stay in different areas, and using this information to adjust cleaning operations accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that responds to user presence
2Productivity
If the cleaning device acquires user geographical location and adjusts cleaning parameters accordingly, then cleaning effectiveness and user convenience are improved, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device serves as an intermediary between the user and the cleaning device, acquiring user geographical location information and transmitting it to the cleaning device, which then processes the data and adjusts cleaning operations. This distributes system complexity across multiple components rather than concentrating it all in the cleaning device
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring user geographical location information and determining duration of stay before executing cleaning operations, allowing the cleaning device to pre-plan its cleaning path and parameters based on predicted user presence patterns

AI summary
A method for performing a cleaning operation with a cleaning device 100, is provided. The method includes the following steps. Whether the cleaning device 100 and a terminal 10 are located in a same general area, is determined. A first geographical location at which the terminal 10 is currently located, is acquired. The cleaning operation is performed according to the first geographical location and a specified cleaning mode. According to the disclosure, cleaning manners are extended, and the cleaning manners are more diversified. Furthermore, the user is located on the basis of the terminal 10, thus, higher cleaning pertinence is achieved, and such a cleaning operation performing manner is smarter.
