In step S104, the electronic device 1000 may display a question asking about the purpose of the selected cleaning space.

In the case of a living room or a room, even small objects may be objects that should not be thrown away, so it is desirable for the cleaning robot 2000 to avoid inhaling even small objects. On the other hand, in the case of a kitchen, things that fall on the kitchen floor are cut food ingredients or powder, so it is desirable for the cleaning robot 2000 to suck up even small objects.

Accordingly, when the selected cleaning space is a living room or a room, the size of the obstacle to be avoided can be set to less than the standard size, and when the selected cleaning space is the kitchen, the size of the obstacle to be avoided can be set to be more than the standard size.

In response to the question in step S104, upon receiving a user input for selecting a living room or a room, in step S105, the electronic device 1000 may set the size of the obstacle to be avoided to “small.” Additionally, in response to the question in step S104, upon receiving a user input for selecting a kitchen, in step S110, the electronic device 1000 may set the size of the obstacle to be avoided to “large.”

Additionally, in the case of items made of fabric or fibers, such as towels, blankets, and clothes, the suction port of the cleaning robot 2000 may be blocked. Additionally, when a strong suction force is used on a mat placed on the floor, the suction pressure inside the cleaning robot 2000 may increase very high, causing the mat to be adsorbed to the cleaning robot 2000. Accordingly, it is necessary to ensure that the suction power in the sitting space does not exceed the standard suction power.

On the other hand, if the cleaning space is a standing space, many items are not placed on the floor of the cleaning space. Therefore, even if the suction power is increased, it is rare for the suction port of the cleaning robot 2000 to be blocked. In addition, in standing spaces, it is common to spread fabric such as carpets on the floor, and in the case of carpets, they are cleaned only by suction with strong suction power, so depending on the situation, it is necessary to increase the suction power above the standard suction power.

In step S106, upon receiving a user input for selecting a sitting position, the electronic device 1000 may set the suction power to “normal” in step S107.
