step S301, identify family members, and record call records of each family member.

In an embodiment, the sweeping robot can identify each person in the family members according to the image data acquired by the image pickup module, determine the identification information of the family members, and establish and record a correspondence table of the identification information of the family members and the incoming call number.

In an embodiment, the correspondence table further records call information such as incoming call time, call duration, etc. of the incoming call number.

In an embodiment, the correspondence table also records family members who answer the incoming call most frequently.

In one embodiment, the sweeping robot may identify a family member from the acquired image data based on the body characteristic information. Specifically, the physical characteristic information includes physical characteristic information such as height, length and width of the skull. For example, when a family member to be identified stands up, different family members can be identified according to height; when the family member to be identified is not standing, different family members can be identified according to the skull characteristic information, including the length, the width and the like.

Step S302, an incoming call is monitored, and a corresponding listener is judged according to the telephone number of the incoming call.

Specifically, the sweeping robot monitors incoming call information of other communication devices through the communication module, searches a corresponding table according to telephone numbers in the incoming call information, and judges a corresponding listener.

In an embodiment, when the phone number of the incoming call is the phone number of the first incoming call, the family member who receives the incoming call most frequently is the corresponding receiver.

Step S303, judging whether the corresponding receiver is at home.

In one embodiment, the robot starts moving autonomously after monitoring the incoming call, and searches for surrounding characters automatically to determine whether the corresponding receiver is at home.

If the disconnected listener is found, that is, when the corresponding listener is judged to be at home, the listener moves to the vicinity of the listener, and step S304 is performed; otherwise, step S305 is performed.

Step S304, after receiving the call instruction, automatically adjusting the distance between the call terminal and the corresponding listener according to the call quality measurement data.

In an embodiment, the listener can send a call instruction in a voice manner, start the call function of the sweeping robot, and after receiving the call instruction, the sweeping robot transmits voice call data with the call device which receives the incoming call through the communication module.

In one embodiment, the sweeping robot can automatically adjust the distance to the listener according to the call quality measurement data fed back by the sweeping robot or the call equipment, and record the distance as the appropriate call distance of the listener (the family member). In one example, call quality may be evaluated based on objective test methods defined in the ITU standard, such as Perceived Speech Quality Measurement (PSQM), ITU-T p.861 (MNB), psqm+, perceived analysis measurement (PAMS 99), perceived estimated call quality measurement (PESQ), etc., to obtain call quality measurement data.

In an embodiment, after receiving the call instruction, the sweeping robot moves to the previous call record, and then automatically adjusts the distance between the sweeping robot and the corresponding listener according to the call quality measurement data in the current call process.

In one embodiment, in order to maintain good call quality, when a movement of the receiver is detected, the sweeping robot also moves along with the movement to maintain a proper call distance.

Step S305, judging whether other people exist in the home. When it is determined that other people are still in the home, step S306 is executed; when it is determined that there is no other person at home, step S307 is performed.

In one embodiment, the sweeping robot can detect all currently-present family members during movement after an incoming call is monitored.

In another embodiment, the sweeping robot can continue to move to the previously non-passing area after not searching the corresponding receiver to determine whether other people exist in the home.

In step S306, when there are other persons in the home, the person moves to the vicinity of the substitute.

In one embodiment, the surrogate is the nearest family member to the sweeping robot.

In another embodiment, the surrogate is the most frequent caller among the family members currently at home.

In one embodiment, when the robot moves to the vicinity of the proxy, the sweeping robot determines whether to keep a proper call distance with the proxy according to whether the call instruction of the proxy is received. The specific call distance determining method is in step S304.

Step S307, when there is no other person in the house, the sweeping robot automatically starts the phone recorder function to record the voice message of the caller.

In one embodiment, the robot further records the attribution corresponding to the voice message in addition to storing the voice message. Specifically, the receiver corresponding to the incoming call is taken as the attribution corresponding to the voice message. In this embodiment, the home is a member of the family authorized to listen to the voice message.

In another embodiment, the sweeping robot may also monitor the voice information of the voice message and determine the attribution corresponding to the voice message. For example, the caller's name shouted in a voice message.

In one embodiment, when the robot detects that a person returns home and recognizes a home member returning home, it determines whether there is a voice message of the home member, and if there is a voice message of the home member, it moves to the vicinity of the home member to remind the home member of an inaudible voice message in a voice manner or other manners.

In one embodiment, when a voice message is detected, the first home member is alerted to have an inaudible voice message.

To summarize, the incoming call processing method and the floor sweeping robot can realize that the floor sweeping robot actively moves to the vicinity of a receiver or a substitute for the incoming call or automatically starts a voice recorder function when no person is at home so as to avoid missing the incoming call.

It should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention and not for limiting the same, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or substituted without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
