以上のように構成された家屋内清掃システムについて、図2を用いてその動作を説明する。図2は、図1に示す家屋内清掃システムの動作の流れを説明する図である。 About the indoor cleaning system comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the flow of operation of the house cleaning system shown in FIG.
初期状態においては、掃除機ロボット15は待機中(非稼動状態)である。ユーザが掃除機ロボット15の状態を知りたい場合、ユーザの操作により携帯電話機11は、ウェブ参照機能により掃除機ロボット15のURLにアクセスし、掃除機ロボット15に対してSNMPのポーリングを発行(問い合わせ)する(ステップS21)。
In the initial state, the cleaner robot 15 is on standby (non-operating state). When the user wants to know the state of the vacuum cleaner robot 15, the
掃除機ロボット15は、ステップS23でSNMPのポーリングを受けたと判断した場合、SNMPを用いて、自身の現在の状態、例えば待機中であること、バッテリーの残量、などの情報を機器情報から取り出し、HTTPを用いて携帯電話機11に返す(ステップS25)。なお、掃除機ロボット15がステップS23でSNMPのポーリングを受理していないと判断した場合は、ステップS31へ進む。
If the vacuum cleaner robot 15 determines that SNMP polling has been received in step S23, it uses SNMP to extract information such as its current state, for example, that it is in standby, the remaining battery level, from the device information. Return to the
ステップS25で掃除機ロボット15が自身の状態を返答すると、携帯電話機11は、HTTPで返されてきた掃除機ロボット15の状態を表示部に表示する(ステップS27)。これにより、ユーザは掃除機ロボット15の状態を確認することができる。
When the cleaner robot 15 returns its own state in step S25, the
次に、ユーザが外出先で部屋の掃除をしたいと所望した場合、ユーザの操作により携帯電話機11は、ウェブ参照機能により掃除機ロボット15のURLにアクセスし、掃除機ロボット15に対して稼動命令を発行する(ステップS29)。掃除機ロボット15は、ステップS31で稼動命令を受理したと判断した場合、部屋の清掃を開始する(ステップS33)。
Next, when the user desires to clean the room on the go, the
掃除機ロボット15が正しく動作しているかどうか、すなわち清掃を実施しているかどうかを確認する場合、ユーザの操作により携帯電話機11は、ウェブ参照機能を用いて掃除機ロボット15に対してSNMPのポーリングをかける(ステップS35)。
When confirming whether or not the cleaner robot 15 is operating correctly, that is, whether or not cleaning is being performed, the
掃除機ロボット15は、ステップS37でポーリングを受けたと判断した場合、SNMPを用いて現在の状態、例えば正しく動いているか、転倒しているか、バッテリーの残量がいくらか(バッテリー切れ寸前であるか)などの情報を機器情報から取り出し、HTTPを用いて携帯電話機11に対して返答する(ステップS39)。なお、掃除機ロボット15がステップS37でSNMPのポーリングを受理していないと判断した場合は、ステップS43へ進む。
If the vacuum cleaner robot 15 determines that polling has been received in step S37, the current state using SNMP, for example, whether the robot 15 is moving properly, has fallen, or is the remaining battery level (whether battery is about to run out) Such information is taken out from the device information and returned to the
ステップS39で掃除機ロボット15が状態を返答すると、携帯電話機11は、HTTPで返されてきた掃除機ロボット15の状態を表示部に表示する(ステップS41)。これにより、ユーザは掃除機ロボット15の状態を確認することができる。
When the cleaner robot 15 returns the status in step S39, the
また、掃除機ロボット15は、異常が発生したか否かを判断する(ステップS43)。清掃中に何らかの異常が発生したと判断した場合、例えば転倒して清掃の続行が不可能な状態に陥ったときや、バッテリーの残量が残り少ないときなどの場合には、掃除機ロボット15は、異常発生を通知するための電子メールを携帯電話機11のアドレスに送信する(ステップS45)。なお、掃除機ロボット15は、ステップS43で異常が発生していないと判断した場合、ステップS49へ進む。 Further, the cleaner robot 15 determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred (step S43). When it is determined that some abnormality has occurred during cleaning, for example, when the vehicle falls over and the cleaning cannot be continued, or when the remaining battery level is low, the vacuum cleaner robot 15 An e-mail for notifying the occurrence of an abnormality is transmitted to the address of the mobile phone 11 (step S45). If the vacuum cleaner robot 15 determines that no abnormality has occurred in step S43, the process proceeds to step S49.
ステップS45で異常発生通知電子メールが送信された場合、携帯電話機11は、異常発生通知電子メールを受信し、掃除機ロボット15に不具合が生じたことをユーザに通知する(ステップS47)。
When the abnormality occurrence notification e-mail is transmitted in step S45, the
また、掃除機ロボット15は、ステップS49で家屋16の清掃を無事に終了したと判断すると、清掃が終了したことを通知する電子メールを携帯電話機11に送信する(ステップS51)。なお、掃除機ロボット15は、ステップS49で家屋16の清掃を終了していないと判断した場合、ステップS37に戻る。
If it is determined in step S49 that the cleaning of the
ステップS51で清掃終了通知電子メールが送信された場合、携帯電話機11は、清掃終了通知電子メールを受信する(ステップS53)。これにより、ユーザは清掃が終了したことを知ることができる。
When the cleaning end notification e-mail is transmitted in step S51, the
以上説明したように、本実施の形態の家屋内清掃システムによれば、ユーザは、携帯電話機11を用いて、外出先から任意の時間に掃除機ロボット15に稼動指示を与え、家屋16内を清掃できる。また、掃除機ロボット15の稼動状態を把握したり清掃終了を知ることができる。
As described above, according to the house cleaning system of the present embodiment, the user gives an operation instruction to the vacuum cleaner robot 15 at any time from the outside using the
以上、掃除機ロボット15に稼動指示を与えるユーザインタフェースとして携帯電話機を用いて説明したが、他の携帯型通信端末や、インターネットに接続されているコンピュータを用いても、同様に実施可能である。 As described above, the cellular phone is used as the user interface for giving the operation instruction to the vacuum cleaner robot 15, but the present invention can be similarly implemented using another portable communication terminal or a computer connected to the Internet.
また、家屋内のネットワーク機器として無線LAN基地局を用いて説明したが、BlueTooth基地局、AWA基地局など他の短距離無線アクセスシステムの基地局を用いても同様に実施可能である。 Further, although a wireless LAN base station is used as a network device in a house, the present invention can be similarly implemented using a base station of another short-range wireless access system such as a BlueTooth base station or an AWA base station.
本発明の家屋内清掃システムは、遠隔地からであっても家屋内を掃除することができる効果を有し、通信網を介した遠隔操作によって家屋内を清掃するシステム等に有用である。 The house cleaning system of the present invention has an effect of cleaning the house even from a remote place, and is useful for a system for cleaning the house by remote operation via a communication network.
