As shown in the second figure, the automatic mobile device 02 can set a plurality of schedules and map routes, and the user can select a group to be executed. For example, the first group is set to 8:00 every night, the automatic mobile device 02 moves according to the first route, and performs energy-saving tour inspection; the second group is set to 9:30 every night, and the automatic mobile device 02 moves according to the first route to save energy. Tour inspection.

More preferably, the user can activate the driving device 10 of the automatic mobile device 02 by using the remote controller to cause the automatic mobile device 02 to start moving.

Preferably, the positioning module and the navigation module are positioned and navigated using conventional techniques. More preferably, the memory unit 08 stores map route data. During the first use, the user can guide the automatic mobile device 02 to move, so that the automatic mobile device 02 stores the map route data in the memory unit 08. Alternatively, the user can directly input the map route data to the control device 04. All of the above methods can prevent the automatic mobile device 02 from moving to a place where it should not be moved. The third figure is a schematic diagram of the mobile map route of the automatic mobile device 02.

Preferably, the automatic mobile device 02 further includes an obstacle avoidance device 16 that detects the obstacle position and avoids it. The obstacle avoidance device 16 may be selected from one of the following: a laser range finder, an ultrasonic obstacle avoidance device, an infrared obstacle avoidance device, and any combination thereof. In addition, the automatic mobile device 02 may further include a collision sensor 20 (such as a radar sensor). Among them, the radar sensor can be used for fixed speed systems, collision detection, rear obstacle sensing and so on.

The automatic mobile device 02 uses the life sensing device 12 to discriminate whether there is a person in the room. The life sensing device 12 is connected to the computing unit 06, and may be selected from one of the following: a camera, an infrared sensor, and a life sensor (detecting breathing or moving). Among them, the camera can be identified by image analysis or background artificial identification; the above-mentioned infrared sensor is identified by means of infrared induction; the life sensor detects the respiratory rate or movement of the human body and the animal to confirm whether there are people or large animals in the house. .

The transceiver 14 can transmit or receive infrared signals, RF signals, Zigbee signals, Bluetooth signals, UWB signals, Ultra-wideband signals or RFID devices, can be used as a remote control communication interface, and can update learning information and transmit Signal to the backend power controller 26. As shown in the fourth figure, the transceiver 14 of the automatic mobile device 02 is connected to the arithmetic unit 06, and the transceiver 14 wirelessly transmits signals to the backend power controller 26 to report the situation of each room. The back-end power controller 26 can separately regulate the power of each room, such as a light switch, a cold air switch, and the like. That is to say, when the life sensing device 12 detects that there is no person in the specific room, the back end power controller 26 cuts off the power of the specific room described above to achieve the purpose of power saving. The backend power controller 26 can be set not to cut off a specific power source, such as a refrigerator power source, a gas pumping power source of a fish tank, a telephone switchboard, and the like.

Preferably, the automatic mobile device 02 has a power monitoring function, can be wirelessly transmitted with the socket with the sensor, and automatically counts the power consumption of each socket.

In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the automatic mobile device 02 further includes a high-quality projection device 18 connected to the arithmetic unit 06 described above. The user can use the remote controller or control device 04 to activate the automatic mobile device 02 to move the above-mentioned automatic mobile device 02 to a specific position for projection. In addition, the automatic mobile device 02 can set a plurality of projection movement time schedules, for example, the third group is set to week (1) from 3 pm to 5 pm, and the automatic mobile device 02 moves to a conference room according to the second route to perform projection. The fourth group is set to 9:00 in the morning (four), and the automatic mobile device 20 moves to another conference room in accordance with the third route to perform projection (second drawing).

Conventional projectors are not readily available for navigation activities, and the present invention provides an automatically moving high quality projection device 18 that can be used for navigation activities. For example, from 9:00 am to 9:10 am in a conference room, after 9:10, the automatic mobile device moves 02 to another conference room, and at 9:12, a second projection is performed. Moreover, the automatic mobile device 02 can simultaneously move and project, and can be used for exhibitions, building guides, and the like. In the event of a fire or earthquake, the automatic mobile device 02 can project or guide the escape route map.
