Wherein, the collection unit may be a camera device, a laser scanning device, or the like. When the electronic device enters the environment where it is for the first time, and the map information cannot be directly downloaded from the cloud, this method can be used for processing.

In addition, when the camera device of the electronic device detects that the environment in which it is located has changed, the electronic device reactivates the downward-looking sensor, and uses at least one of its own collection units to obtain information about the current environment based on the environment. The information establishes the map information of the environment in which the electronic device is located, and ensures that the drawn map information matches the current environment in which it is located.

Or, when the camera device of the electronic device detects that its environment has changed, the electronic device acquires map information from other electronic devices in the current environment, so that the map saved by the electronic device The information is consistent with the current environment.

In the solution provided in this embodiment, the target area is also marked with respect to the map information of the environment in which the electronic device is located. Specifically, there are several ways to determine the target area in the map information as follows.

Manner 1: The electronic device receives the location of the target area marked by the map information of the environment in which the electronic device is located from the terminal.

Specifically, after obtaining the map information of the environment where the electronic device is located, the terminal marks the target area in the map information, and sends the map information marked with the target area to the electronic device; or After acquiring the map information of the environment in which the electronic device is located, the terminal marks the location of the target area in the map information, and sends the marked location information of the target area to the electronic device. equipment. The terminal may be a smart phone; for example, the smart phone may obtain or synchronize map information of the environment in which the electronic device is located through an application (APP).

For example, the electronic device uses a visual sensor to obtain map information of its environment, and sends it to a smart phone. The smart phone marks the target area in the map information through the APP, and marks all the map information of the target area. The map information is sent to the electronic device. Alternatively, the smart phone sends the location of the target area in the map information at the marker to the electronic device.

In addition, the electronic device can also use a laser ranging sensor to determine the map information of the environment in which it is located, and send it to a smart phone, and the smart phone will mark the target area in the map information through the APP, and the target area will be marked with the target area. The map information of is sent to the electronic device. Alternatively, the smart phone sends the location of the target area in the map information at the marker to the electronic device.

Manner 2: Control the electronic device to be in the first working mode, in the process of driving along the boundary of the environment in which the electronic device is located in the first working mode, determine based on the area corresponding to the control instruction for adjusting the driving direction The target area in the map information. Here, the first working mode may be the welt mode.

There are two ways to determine the control instruction for adjusting the traveling direction: the first method is to receive a control instruction for adjusting the traveling direction from another device. Here, the other equipment may be a smart terminal, a remote control device, and the like. In the second way, the electronic device itself generates a control instruction for adjusting the direction of travel.

The following describes the method of receiving a control command to adjust the direction of travel from other devices. Specifically, the electronic device travels at the boundary of the environment in the first working mode, and when it travels to the target area, it receives a control instruction to adjust the travel direction sent by other devices. Then, according to the control instruction for adjusting the driving direction, the target area in the map information can be determined.

Next, a description will be given of the manner in which the electronic device itself generates a control command for adjusting the traveling direction. In the first working mode, the sensor on the side of the electronic device is in an activated state, and sends signals to both sides of the position of the electronic device and obtains feedback information, and the sensor on the side of the electronic device sends the received feedback information For the control unit of the electronic device, the control unit determines the boundary of the environment in which the electronic device is located. In the case that no feedback information is received, the control unit controls the electronic device to turn on the look-down sensor, enters the area where the electronic device does not receive the feedback information, and the look-down sensor sends the acquired information to The control unit further determines that the area where the feedback information is not received is the target area, generates a control instruction for adjusting the driving direction, and adjusts the driving direction of the electronic device.

Manner 3: The electronic device detects the target area identification mark in the environment where the electronic device is located to obtain a detection result; based on the detection result, determines the target area in the map information of the environment where the electronic device is located.

Here, the target area identification mark is an identification of the target area in the environment where the electronic device recognizes, for example, a virtual bar in the target area. Specifically, in the environment where the electronic device is located, a virtual bar is attached to the target area. The virtual bar may be a laser bar, an infrared bar or a magnetic bar; for example, the infrared bar may be an infrared generator composed of infrared diodes, and other implementation manners are not exhaustively listed in this embodiment. When the electronic device enters its environment for the first time, the electronic device will turn on the sensor for detecting the virtual bar and scan the environment. When the virtual bar in the environment is scanned, the virtual bar will be scanned. The location is determined as the target area in the map information. For example, after the electronic device enters the environment for the first time, it turns on the Hall sensor to scan the environment, and when the magnetic stripe in the environment is detected, the area where the magnetic stripe is located is determined as the The target area in the map information.

Manner 4: The electronic device directly receives the map information marked with the target area sent from the other electronic device.

In addition, if the map information of the environment where the electronic device is located changes, the target area in the map information is re-determined according to the updated map information. The method of updating the map information can be any one of the aforementioned methods, and the description will not be repeated here.

In step S102, in response to the target area being marked in the map information of the environment in which the electronic device is located, the electronic device is controlled to turn off the downward-looking sensor. In addition, if there is no target area where the electronic device will fall in the environment where the electronic device is located, the activation or deactivation of the downward-looking sensor of the electronic device may not be limited.

In this embodiment, the electronic device obtains the map information of its environment, and when it is determined that the map information of the environment includes the target area, it will turn off the look-up sensor and drive in the environment. In this way, it is unnecessary to use the downward-looking sensor of the electronic device to detect and determine whether the area to be driven is the target area, and there is no problem of misjudgment of the target area. Therefore, the problem of incomplete cleaning caused by the misjudgment of the electronic device is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

Embodiment two

In the embodiment of the present application, the control process of the sensor of the sweeping robot is described in detail, as shown in FIG. 2, including the following steps:

S201: Obtain map information of the environment where the sweeping robot is located;

Here, the sweeping robot may be in an environment requiring daily cleaning, such as a home or an office. The acquisition of map information of the environment where the sweeping robot is located includes the following two methods.

Manner 1: Receive map information of the environment in which the cleaning robot is located from other electronic devices.

Here, the other electronic equipment is an intelligent electronic equipment with an image acquisition function or a camera function in the environment where the cleaning robot is located, such as a security camera, a computer with a camera, etc. Specifically, the cleaning robot may download from the cloud the map information of the environment where the cleaning robot is located, acquired by the other electronic device, after entering the environment where it is located for the first time.

Manner 2: The sweeping robot obtains its own environmental information through at least one collection unit, and establishes map information of the environment in which the sweeping robot is located based on the environmental information. Specifically, the sweeping robot uses its own camera, laser scanning device and other collection units to obtain its own environment information, and then draws map information of its environment based on the obtained environment information. When the sweeping robot enters the environment for the first time and cannot directly download the map information from the cloud, this method can be used for processing.

In addition, when the camera device of the sweeping robot detects that the environment it is in has changed, the sweeping robot reactivates the downward-looking sensor, and uses at least one of its own collection units to obtain the current environment information based on the environment. The information establishes the map information of the environment where the sweeping robot is located, and ensures that the drawn map information matches the current environment.

Or, when the camera device of the cleaning robot detects that the environment it is in has changed, the cleaning robot obtains map information from other electronic devices in the current environment, so that the map saved by the cleaning robot The information is consistent with the current environment.

S202: Determine a target area in the map information;

Here, there are several ways to determine the target area in the map information. Wherein, the target area is used to characterize the area where the sweeping robot will fall.

Manner 1: The cleaning robot receives the location of the target area marked by the map information for the environment in which the cleaning robot is located from the terminal. Specifically, after acquiring the map information of the environment where the cleaning robot is located, the terminal marks the target area in the map information, and sends the map information marked with the target area to the cleaning robot; Alternatively, after acquiring the map information of the environment in which the electronic device is located, the terminal marks the location of the target area in the map information, and sends the marked location information of the target area to the Sweeping robot.

For example, the sweeping robot obtains map information of its environment by using a vision sensor and sends it to the terminal. The terminal marks the target area in the map information, and sends the map information marked with the target area to the terminal. Describe the sweeping robot. Alternatively, the terminal sends the location of the target area in the map information at the mark to the sweeping robot.

In addition, the sweeping robot can also use a laser ranging sensor to determine the map information of its environment, and send it to the terminal. The terminal will mark the target area in the map information, and mark the map with the target area. The information is sent to the sweeping robot. Alternatively, the terminal sends the location of the target area in the map information at the mark to the sweeping robot.

Manner 2: Control the cleaning robot to be in the first working mode. In the process of driving along the boundary of the environment in which the cleaning robot is located in the first working mode, determine based on the area corresponding to the control instruction for adjusting the driving direction The target area in the map information.

There are two ways to determine the control instruction for adjusting the traveling direction: the first method is to receive a control instruction for adjusting the traveling direction from another device. Here, the other equipment may be a smart terminal, a remote control device, and the like. In the second way, the cleaning robot itself generates a control instruction for adjusting the direction of travel.

Next, the above-mentioned method of determining the control command for adjusting the traveling direction will be described in detail. Regarding the first method of determining the control instruction for adjusting the driving direction, as shown in FIG. 3, the sweeping robot is in the welt mode, and in the welt mode, it travels along the boundary of the environment in which the sweeping robot is located, When the cleaning robot travels to the step area in the environment, it receives a control instruction to adjust the travel direction, and changes from traveling in the direction of CA to traveling in the direction of AB. Furthermore, the step area is determined as the target area in the map information according to the control instruction for adjusting the traveling direction.

Regarding the second method in which the cleaning robot itself generates control instructions for adjusting the driving direction, in the welt mode, the sensors on the side of the cleaning robot are in an active state, and signals are sent to both sides of the position where the cleaning robot is located. Feedback information, the sensor sends the feedback information to the control unit, and the control unit determines that the sweeping robot is at the boundary of the environment where it is located. In the case that no feedback information is received, the control unit controls the sweeping robot to turn on the downward-looking sensor, enters the area where the sweeping robot does not receive feedback information, and the downward-looking sensor sends the acquired information to the control unit , And further determine that the area where the feedback information is not received is a step area in the environment where the cleaning robot is located, and generate a control instruction for adjusting the traveling direction to adjust the traveling direction of the cleaning robot.

Manner 3: The cleaning robot detects the target area identification mark in the environment where the cleaning robot is located to obtain a detection result; based on the detection result, the target area in the map information of the environment where the cleaning robot is located is determined. As shown in Figure 4, in the environment where the sweeping robot is located, virtual bars may be pasted on the step area. The virtual bar may be a laser bar, an infrared bar, or a magnetic bar; for example, the infrared bar may be an infrared generator composed of infrared diodes, and other implementation manners are not exhaustively listed in this embodiment. When the sweeping robot enters the environment for the first time, the sweeping robot will turn on the sensor for detecting the virtual bar and scan the environment. When the virtual bar in the environment is scanned, the virtual bar will be scanned. The location is determined as the target area in the map information. For example, after the sweeping robot enters the environment for the first time, it turns on the Hall sensor to scan the environment, and when the magnetic stripe in the environment is detected, the area where the magnetic stripe is located is determined as the The target area in the map information.

Manner 4: The sweeping robot directly receives the map information marked with the target area sent from the other electronic device. In addition, if the map information of the environment where the cleaning robot is located changes, the target area in the map information is re-determined according to the updated map information. The method of updating the map information can be any one of the aforementioned methods, and the description will not be repeated here.

S203: In response to the target area being marked in the map information of the environment where the cleaning robot is located, control the cleaning robot to turn off the downward looking sensor.

Specifically, when the target area has been marked in the map information of the environment where the cleaning robot is located, the cleaning robot is controlled to turn off its down-looking sensor and drive in the environment where it is.

In addition, if there is no target area where the cleaning robot will fall in the environment where the cleaning robot is located, the activation or deactivation of the downward-looking sensor of the cleaning robot may not be limited.

Further, when the sweeping robot is in a state where the down-view sensor is turned off, a switch sensor or an infrared sensor installed on the connecting arm of the driving wheel detects that it is in a state of being off the ground.

Next, the principle that the sweeping robot uses the switch sensor to detect that it is off the ground is explained. Here, the switch sensor will be automatically adjusted to the open state when the target is close to itself; when the target is far away from itself, it will be adjusted to the closed state. Since the sweeping robot leaves the ground, the driving wheel will be in a stowed state. At this time, the distance between the driving wheel and the switch sensor will increase, and the switch sensor will change from the open state. Becomes closed. Therefore, when the switch sensor is adjusted from the open state to the closed state, it can be determined that the cleaning robot has left the ground.

Similarly, an infrared sensor installed on the connecting arm of the driving wheel can also be used to determine that the sweeping robot has left the ground. Specifically, when the sweeping robot leaves the ground, the driving wheel will be in a stowed state. At this time, the distance between the driving wheel and the infrared sensor increases. Furthermore, it is determined that the sweeping robot has left the ground.

In addition to the above two ways of detecting that the sweeping robot leaves the ground, the sweeping robot can also detect that it is off the ground through its own gravity sensor or a pressure sensor on the driving wheel. Wherein, the gravity sensor determines whether the sweeping robot is off the ground by detecting the change in the center of gravity of the sweeping robot; the pressure sensor on the driving wheel determines whether the sweeping robot has a pressure value or not. Whether the robot is off the ground. Specifically, when the center of gravity of the cleaning robot becomes higher, it is determined that the cleaning robot is off the ground; when the pressure value on the driving wheel becomes zero, it is determined that the cleaning robot is off the ground.

When it is determined that the sweeping robot is off the ground, the sweeping robot reactivates the downward-looking sensor to obtain the map information of the environment in which it is located again. If the re-acquired map information of the environment does not change, the downward-looking sensor is turned off again.

If the newly acquired map information of the environment is changed, the aforementioned step S201 to step S203 are executed. Alternatively, a reminder message may appear to remind the user to perform related operations on whether to turn off the downward looking sensor.

In this embodiment, the map information of the environment in which the cleaning robot is located is acquired, and if the target area is marked in the map information, the cleaning robot is controlled to turn off the downward-looking sensor. In this way, it is unnecessary to use the downward-looking sensor of the sweeping robot to detect and determine whether the area to be driven is the target area, and there is no problem of misjudgment of the target area. Therefore, the misjudgment of the cleaning robot during driving is avoided, and the cleaning effect of the environment in which it is located is improved.
