For convenience of explanation, the present application will explain a method for locating a broken web of a robot by taking a robot cleaner as an example.
Fig. 2 is a method for locating a broken network of a robot according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to the robot 100 in fig. 1, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps S210 to S240.
Step S210: a network connection is established with the router.
In order to facilitate a user to control the sweeping robot through the user terminal, the sweeping robot needs to be connected to a router for networking so as to communicate with the user terminal through a network, and correspondingly, the user terminal also needs to be networked.
The user terminal can be mobile intelligent equipment such as a mobile phone and a tablet.
After the sweeping robot is successfully connected with the router network, a user can control the sweeping robot through the user terminal, so that the sweeping robot can complete a corresponding sweeping task.
In an embodiment, the user terminal may be installed with a sweeping robot control software, and the user may control the sweeping robot through the control software.
Through the measures, the user terminal and the sweeping robot are in a networking state, and a user can conveniently remotely control the sweeping robot through the user terminal.
Step S220: and establishing an environment map of the target area, and transmitting the environment map to the user terminal for displaying, wherein the environment map comprises weak network signal area data of which the network signal intensity of the router is lower than a set threshold value.
The target area is a ground area needing to be cleaned by the cleaning robot in the house of the user; the distribution situation of the target area and the distribution situation of the router network signals in the target area are displayed in the environment map. For example, the environment map may display the position distribution of each sub-region in the target region, the area size of each sub-region, and the router network signal distribution in each sub-region. The sub-areas can be study room floor, living room floor, bedroom floor, kitchen floor, toilet floor and the like.
After the sweeping robot is successfully connected with the router through the network, the user can send an environment map building instruction to the sweeping robot through the user terminal. And the sweeping robot starts to move after receiving the instruction, plans a path in real time in the moving process, scans the network signal strength value of the router in real time, and marks the network signal strength value obtained by scanning on the moving path. For example, the sweeping robot may mark the router network signal strength value there every 2 seconds on its travel path. Specific labeling cases are shown in fig. 3, which shows only some labeling cases of network signal strength values for the sake of illustration.
When the motion path of the sweeping robot is repeated, the average value of the network signal strength values obtained by scanning in the two traveling processes can be obtained, and the obtained average value is marked on the traveling path.
After the robot travels, the sweeping robot generates an environment map according to the traveling result of the robot, and divides the target area into a plurality of network signal areas according to the network signal intensity values of all places in the target area.
The sweeping robot is stored with a plurality of network signal intensity thresholds, and the target area can be divided into a plurality of network signal areas according to the network signal intensity value and the network signal intensity threshold in the target area. After the area division is finished, each network signal area can be marked on the environment map.
Illustratively, a weak signal strength threshold, a medium signal strength threshold and a strong signal strength threshold are stored in the sweeping robot; the sweeping robot can compare the network signal intensity value in the target area with the network signal intensity threshold respectively, and divide the target area into a plurality of network signal areas according to the comparison result. Specifically, the area where the network signal strength value is smaller than the weak signal strength threshold is divided into weak network signal areas; dividing the area of which the network signal strength value is greater than the weak signal strength threshold value and less than the medium signal strength threshold value into medium network signal areas; and dividing the area with the network signal intensity value larger than the strong signal intensity threshold value into a strong network signal area.
The target area may include a plurality of strong network signal areas, a plurality of weak network signal areas, and a plurality of medium network signal areas; the weak network signal area indicates that the network signal intensity in the area is extremely poor, and when the sweeping robot is located in the area, the network connection with the router can be disconnected; the medium network signal area indicates that the network signal strength in the area is general, and when the sweeping robot is located in the area, the network connection with the router may be disconnected; the strong network signal area indicates that the network signal intensity of the area is good, and when the sweeping robot is located in the area, the network connection with the router cannot be disconnected.
After the area division is finished, each network signal area can be marked on the environment map in a color marking mode. Specifically, orange may be used to represent a strong network signal region; green is used to represent medium network signal areas; blue is used to represent weak network signal areas.
After the environment map is generated, the sweeping robot stores the environment map locally and transmits the environment map to the user terminal through the router. After receiving the environment map, the user terminal may display the environment map. In this case, the distribution of each network signal area may be displayed on the environment map, so that the user can know the distribution of the network signals in the house through the environment map.
In an embodiment, after receiving the environment map, the user terminal may display only the distribution of the target area, and does not display the distribution of each network signal area.
Therefore, by establishing the environment map, when the sweeping robot subsequently executes sweeping operation, a user can check the position information of the sweeping robot through the environment map and know the execution condition of the sweeping operation.
Step S230: and after receiving a cleaning instruction initiated by the user terminal through the router, cleaning in the target area based on the environment map.
The cleaning instruction may include a cleaning type, a cleaning time period, and the like. Illustratively, the cleaning type may be sweeping, mopping, etc.
When a user has a cleaning requirement, a cleaning instruction can be initiated through the user terminal, and the cleaning instruction is sent to the sweeping robot by the router. After receiving the cleaning instruction, the sweeping robot can clean the target area according to the locally stored environment map. Specifically, the sweeping robot cleans a target area in a traveling mode.
Step S240: before entering a weak network signal area and being disconnected with the router, the positioning data of the robot is synchronously transmitted to the user terminal through the router, so that the user terminal displays the information of the weak network signal area entered by the robot in an environment map.
The positioning data is position information of the sweeping robot.
In the process of cleaning the target area, the sweeping robot can synchronously transmit the positioning data to the user terminal. Therefore, before the sweeping robot enters a weak network signal area and is disconnected from the router, the locating data of the sweeping robot can be synchronously transmitted to the user terminal through the router.
When the sweeping robot is disconnected from the router through the network, the user terminal can fit the moving path of the sweeping robot according to the positioning data, and weak network signal area information, into which the sweeping robot enters, is determined according to the moving path information. The information of the weak network signal area where the sweeping robot enters may be the weak network signal area where the sweeping robot is about to enter, or the weak network signal area where the sweeping robot has entered.
Further, when the network signal area division condition is displayed in the environment map, the user terminal may mark the weak network signal area on the environment map. Illustratively, an identifier may be added in the weak network signal area. When the network signal area division condition is not displayed on the environment map, the user terminal can display the weak network signal area entered by the sweeping robot on the environment map.
In an embodiment, before the sweeping robot is disconnected from the router, the sweeping robot may determine the weak network signal area where the sweeping robot enters according to the traveling condition of the sweeping robot, and transmit the area information to the user terminal, so that the user terminal displays the weak network signal area.
In an embodiment, before the sweeping robot enters the medium network signal area and is disconnected from the router, the user terminal may also fit a moving path of the sweeping robot according to the positioning data, and determine the medium network signal area where the sweeping robot enters according to the moving path information.
By the aid of the measures, when the sweeping robot is disconnected from the router, a user can position the sweeping robot according to the weak network signal area information displayed by the user terminal, determine the area where the sweeping robot is located, and determine the position of the sweeping robot according to the area information.
Therefore, the sweeping robot can transmit the positioning data to the user terminal in real time before entering the weak network signal area and being disconnected with the router, and the position of the sweeping robot can be quickly positioned in real time when the sweeping robot is disconnected with the router.
In an embodiment, when the sweeping robot receives an instruction for establishing an environment map, before starting from a workstation, the sweeping robot may scan the network signal strength value of the current workstation position for multiple times, and obtain an average value of the network signal strength values obtained by multiple scanning, and when the average value is smaller than a set threshold value stored in the sweeping robot, send a prompt message for replacing the workstation position. The user can change the position of the workstation according to the prompt message.
Through the measures, normal communication between the sweeping robot and the workstation is guaranteed.
In an embodiment, before the sweeping robot determines that the sweeping robot is about to enter the weak network signal area and is disconnected from the router, the sweeping robot can shoot an image of the surrounding environment through the camera, and after shooting is finished, the router transmits shot image information to the user terminal, and the user terminal displays the image of the environment. The image of the surrounding environment is image information of an area where the sweeping robot is currently located, and the image information can be picture information, video information and the like.
Through the measures, the sweeping robot shoots the surrounding environment image, so that a user can conveniently determine the area information of the sweeping robot through the environment image.
In one embodiment, after the sweeping robot disconnects from the router in step S240, steps S310 to S320 shown in fig. 4 are also performed.
Step S310: and when the router is disconnected and is in a set area, switching the network mode to a network mode directly connected with the user terminal.
Wherein the set area is a trapped area and/or a hidden area. For example, the trapped area is an area where the sweeping robot is trapped, specifically, the trapped area may be an area formed between a bookshelf and a wall, and the trapped area may also be an area formed between furniture; the hidden area can be the sofa bottom, the bed bottom, the wardrobe bottom and other areas.
When the sweeping robot is in a trapped area for a long time, the robot can be damaged, and the service performance of the sweeping robot is reduced; when the sweeping robot is in a hidden area, a user cannot be positioned at a specific position of the sweeping robot, so that the sweeping robot is disconnected, and the user cannot use the sweeping robot.
Meanwhile, when the sweeping robot is in the set area, that is, when the sweeping robot is in a trapped area, or in a hidden area, the user cannot determine the position of the sweeping robot according to the area information obtained in the embodiment of fig. 2. Therefore, when the network connection with the router is disconnected and the robot is in the set area, the sweeping robot can switch the network mode to the network mode directly connected with the user terminal.
Through the measures, the sweeping robot and the user terminal are connected through the network, so that the user can be more accurately positioned to the position of the sweeping robot.
Step S320: and after the connection with the user terminal is successful, the positioning data of the robot is synchronously transmitted to the user terminal.
After the network connection between the user terminal and the sweeping robot is successful, the sweeping robot can directly and synchronously transmit the positioning data to the user terminal, so that a user can determine the position of the sweeping robot according to the positioning data.
Through the measures, when the sweeping robot is disconnected with the router and is located in the set area, the sweeping robot is directly connected with the user terminal through the network, the sweeping robot can transmit the positioning data to the user terminal, the user terminal can accurately determine the position of the sweeping robot based on the positioning data, and the user can normally use the sweeping robot. Meanwhile, when the sweeping robot is trapped, a user can quickly help the sweeping robot to get rid of the trapping, so that the use performance of the sweeping robot is not influenced.
In an embodiment, the user terminal stores in advance network connection credential information when the sweeping robot is in the hotspot mode. At this moment, the sweeping robot can switch the network mode into the hotspot mode, so that the user terminal can be in network connection with the sweeping robot according to the preset network connection credential information. The preset network connection credential information may include a network connection identifier, a network connection password, and the like.
In an operation process, when the sweeping robot is disconnected with the router and is in a set area, the sweeping robot can switch the network mode into a hot spot mode; the user switches the user terminal to a network signal scanning mode. When the user holds the user terminal to move forward, the user terminal can scan the signal intensity of the hotspot network in real time according to the network connection certificate information and display the signal intensity value of the hotspot network obtained by scanning in real time. And when the monitored hotspot network signal intensity value reaches a set threshold value, connecting the user terminal to the hotspot network when the sweeping robot is in the hotspot mode.
Specifically, when the user holds the user terminal to advance, the user terminal can prompt the advancing direction of the user according to the intensity change condition of the hotspot network signal monitored by the user terminal. When the terminal equipment monitors that the hotspot network signal is gradually enhanced, voice broadcasting prompts a user to move in the current direction; when the terminal equipment monitors that the hotspot network signal is gradually weakened, voice broadcasting prompts that the user is far away from the sweeping robot and prompts that the user advances in the direction opposite to the current advancing direction.
In an embodiment, the sweeping robot stores in advance network connection credential information when the user terminal is in the hotspot mode. At this time, the sweeping robot can switch the network mode to the search mode to search for the user terminal in the hotspot mode in the target area. And after the searching is successful, connecting the sweeping robot to a hotspot network when the user terminal is in a hotspot mode.
In an operation process, when the sweeping robot is disconnected with the router and is in a set area, the sweeping robot switches the network mode into a search mode; and the user switches the user terminal into a hot spot mode. The user holds the user terminal to move, in the moving process, the sweeping robot searches the hotspot equipment in the target area in real time, and after the hotspot equipment is successfully searched, the hotspot network signal strength value is monitored in real time according to the network connection certificate information. And when the monitored hotspot network signal intensity value reaches a set threshold value, connecting the sweeping robot to the hotspot network when the user terminal is in the hotspot mode.
In an embodiment, after the sweeping robot is successfully connected with the user terminal, the sweeping robot may execute a preset action. Wherein, predetermine and move as one or more in voice broadcast, motor rotation and the dust absorption sound of opening.
In another embodiment, after the sweeping robot is successfully connected with the user terminal, the user can send an operation instruction to the sweeping robot through the user terminal. The sweeping robot can execute preset actions after receiving the operation instruction. Wherein, predetermine and move as one or more in voice broadcast, motor rotation and the dust absorption sound of opening.
In an embodiment, after the sweeping robot is successfully connected with the user terminal, the sweeping robot can shoot images of the surrounding environment through the camera, and after shooting is finished, shot image information is synchronously transmitted to the user terminal, and the user terminal displays the image information. The image of the surrounding environment is image information of an area where the sweeping robot is currently located, and the image information can be picture information, video information and the like.
In an embodiment, when the sweeping robot monitors that the sweeping robot is separated from the set area, the sweeping robot can be switched to a network mode for performing network connection with the router. Specifically, when the sweeping robot monitors that the sweeping robot is separated from the set area, the sweeping robot can be disconnected from the user terminal and reestablished with the router.
