Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Self-moving devices, such as cleaning robots, face a security risk due to the potential exposure of user privacy through their camera modules when in non-operating states, as the processor can still receive image signals during these states.
Innovation Solution
A self-moving device with a second processor controls the connection and disconnection of the first processor and camera module based on the device's operating state, using a tri-state output circuit to ensure the camera module is disconnected during non-operating states, thereby preventing privacy exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the first processor continuously receives image signals from the camera module, then the self-moving device can maintain environmental awareness and navigation capability, but user privacy may be exposed during non-operating states
Solution Approach 1:
The second processor determines the operating state in advance and proactively controls the connection state between the first processor and camera module before privacy exposure can occur. When transitioning to a non-operating state, the system preemptively disconnects the camera module, preventing potential privacy risks before they materialize.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection state between the first processor and camera module is made dynamic rather than static. The system transitions between connected and disconnected states based on the determined operating state, allowing the system to adapt its privacy protection level according to operational requirements while maintaining environmental awareness when needed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the camera module is disconnected during non-operating states, then privacy security is improved, but the device loses environmental perception capability
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic state management where the camera module connection is activated only during operating states when environmental perception is needed, and deactivated during non-operating states for privacy protection. This dynamic switching ensures the device maintains perception capability when functional while protecting privacy when idle.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera module is extracted from the continuous connection to the first processor and only connected when specifically needed during operating states. This selective connection approach separates the camera module's functionality from constant operation, enabling privacy protection during non-operating states while maintaining capability when required.

AI summary
A self-moving device (100) and a control method therefor, a storage medium, and a computer device. The self-moving device (100) comprises a camera module (123), a first processor (180), and a second processor (190), wherein the camera module (123) is used for acquiring an image signal of a surrounding environment of the self-moving device (100) and sending the image signal to the first processor (180); the first processor (180) is used for receiving the image signal and establishing a surrounding environment map of the self-moving device (100) and/or identifying an obstacle in the surrounding environment of the self-moving device (100) according to the image signal; and the second processor (190) is used for controlling the connection/disconnection between the first processor (180) and the camera module (123) according to the operation state of the self-moving device (100), so as to control whether the first processor (180) can receive the image signal sent by the camera module (123). Therefore, the connection/disconnection between the first processor (180) and the camera module (123) matches the operation state of the self-moving device (100), so that the risk of privacy exposure of a user by the camera module (123) is reduced, thereby improving the use security of the device.
