Cleaning device and control method therefor
First Claim
1. A cleaning device comprising:
- a camera unit configured to capture images;
a cleaning unit configured to perform cleaning in a cleaning mode;
an air cleaning unit configured to perform air cleaning in an air purifying mode;
a first outlet port configured to discharge air being sucked in by the cleaning unit;
a second outlet port configured to discharge air being sucked in by the air cleaning unit;
a driving unit configured to move the cleaning device; and
a processor configured to control the camera unit, the cleaning unit, the air cleaning unit, the first outlet port, the second outlet port and the driving unit,wherein the processor is further configured to;
detect a user by using the camera unit,control the driving unit to move the cleaning device from a current location to a location at a distance from the user that exceeds a first threshold distance if the cleaning device is in the cleaning mode,control the driving unit to move the cleaning device from the current location to a location at a distance from the user that is within a second threshold distance if the cleaning device is in the air purifying mode, andcontrol the driving unit, based on a direction in which the first outlet port is facing relative to the user, to prevent the first outlet port from facing the user if the cleaning device is in the cleaning mode.
