Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cleaning methods are inefficient and boring, often leading to incomplete cleaning of areas due to the difficulty in detecting foreign materials without visual inspection, resulting in unnecessary power consumption and time wastage.
Innovation Solution
A portable electronic device that provides a cleaning guide using a camera to photograph the cleaning area, determines areas with the same pattern as the cleaning object, and displays augmented reality marks to guide the cleaner, ensuring complete coverage and preventing re-cleaning of already cleaned areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a user visually inspects the floor to detect foreign materials and performs cleaning manually, then the cleaning operation can be performed with simple equipment, but the cleaning coverage is incomplete and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual visual inspection with an automated image recognition system using a camera and processor. The camera captures images of the cleaning area, and the processor automatically identifies foreign materials and generates cleaning paths, eliminating the need for continuous manual visual inspection and significantly improving cleaning coverage and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning device performs self-navigation and self-guided cleaning operations. The system automatically generates cleaning paths based on image recognition, controls the movement of the cleaner, and monitors cleaning progress without requiring continuous human intervention, enabling the system to service itself during the cleaning process.
2Reliability
If the user cleans the entire cleaning area to ensure complete coverage, then the cleaning completeness is improved, but unnecessary power consumption and time waste occur due to re-cleaning
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the cleaning process by capturing images during cleaner movement and comparing the current position with the cleaning path. The processor determines whether cleaning is complete based on feedback from image recognition and position data, allowing the system to stop exactly when cleaning is finished without unnecessary re-cleaning or energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-plans the cleaning path before starting the cleaning operation. By generating a complete cleaning route in advance based on the cleaning area map and foreign material positions, the system can execute the predetermined path efficiently without redundant movements or energy waste.
3Loss of energy
If the user manually tracks the cleaning area to avoid re-cleaning, then energy waste is reduced, but the operation becomes complex and difficult to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically tracks and monitors its own cleaning progress without requiring manual intervention. The image recognition system continuously identifies the cleaner's position relative to the cleaning area and foreign materials, and the processor automatically determines when areas have been cleaned, eliminating the need for users to manually track progress while preventing energy waste from re-cleaning.
