Description
The present invention relates to a surveillance system, and more particularly, to a surveillance system including surveillance cameras and a control section.
Conventional surveillance systems For example, home security systems include surveillance cameras and controls. Here, the surveillance cameras are installed indoors. The control unit communicates with the surveillance cameras and performs an alarm operation when an intruder is detected by surveillance cameras.
On the other hand, in a house provided with a cleaning robot, the user can set a cleaning reservation on the cleaning robot itself and go out. In addition, a user who is going out may transmit a cleaning start signal to the cleaning robot remotely through a communication network. Accordingly, the cleaning robot in the empty house can automatically perform the cleaning.
In this case, the house having the cleaning robot can not operate a surveillance system such as a home security system. This is because the cleaning robot is regarded as an intruder.
One of the surveillance systems for solving such problems has a function of a pet mode. However, since the monitoring function is performed only for the opening and closing of the door in the pet mode, the normal monitoring function can not be performed.
On the other hand, there is an economical problem that the cleaning robot necessarily requires cameras because the cleaning robot itself creates a moving path for cleaning by providing cameras. In addition, the cameras provided in the cleaning robot can not photograph the inside of the room in a planar manner on the room to be cleaned. Therefore, the movement path generated by the cleaning robot itself must be updated while experiencing many trial and error using at least one obstacle sensor in each direction.
A first object of the present invention is to allow a surveillance system to perform a surveillance operation normally without alarm even when the cleaning robot moves in an empty house.
A second object of the present invention is to enable the cleaning robot to automatically clean without having cameras.
A third object of the present invention is to improve the problem that the moving path of the cleaning robot must be updated while experiencing many trial and error using at least one obstacle sensor in each direction.
According to an aspect of the present invention, surveillance cameras installed in a room; And a control unit communicating with the surveillance cameras and performing an alarm operation when an appearance of an intruder is detected by the surveillance cameras.
Here, the control unit wirelessly communicates with the cleaning robot in the room, and provides a cleaning path for cleaning to the cleaning robot according to image information from the monitoring cameras.
Preferably, the control unit includes:
Once the intruder is detected, the intruder is regarded as the cleaning robot once, and the intruder requests transmission of the unique identification number to the intruder, and performs the alarm operation if the intruder does not transmit the unique identification number of the cleaning robot.
Preferably, the cleaning robot further comprises:
And at least one obstacle sensor in the forward direction is provided to determine whether or not further rectification is possible at the rotational position of the movement path, and if it is determined that further rectification is possible, the data of the path change signal and current position is transmitted And further straight forward.
According to the monitoring system of the embodiment of the present invention, the control unit wirelessly communicates with the cleaning robot in the room, and provides a cleaning path for cleaning to the cleaning robot according to image information from the monitoring cameras .
Thus, the following effects can be obtained.
First, the controller can detect the movement of the cleaning robot by wireless communication with the cleaning robot. Therefore, even if the cleaning robot moves in an empty house, the surveillance system can normally perform a surveillance operation without an alarm.
Second, the cleaning robot does not need to create a moving route by itself. That is, the cleaning robot can automatically clean without having cameras.
Third, the surveillance cameras can photograph the inside of the room in a planar manner on the room to be cleaned. Accordingly, the movement route can be updated while experiencing a small trial and error in comparison with the movement route by the conventional cleaning robot.
