Home robot using supercomputer, and home network system having the same
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a home robot, comprising:
- a remote supercomputer responsive to a user'"'"'s command for controlling said home robot, said user and said home robot being in a premises different from a location of said supercomputer;
a home gateway for providing a path of communication between said home robot and said supercomputer via a network external to said premises; and
said home robot being controlled to perform only in response to command result signals generated by said supercomputer, said command result signals being generated in response to said user'"'"'s command.

Abstract
A home robot controlled by a remote supercomputer. When a user gives a voice command to the home robot, the home robot A/D converts the voice command and transmits the converted command to the supercomputer through a home gateway and a communication network. A control unit in the supercomputer interprets the voice command. Service modules produce appropriate response commands based on the interpreted voice command. The response commands are transmitted to the home robot over a communication network A control unit in the home robot receives the response commands, and upon analysis thereof, controls one or more actions of the home robot by generating one or more of a digital voice signal, motion control signal and an image signal. The digital voice signal is converted to an analog signal for reproduction through a speaker. A driving unit moves body components of the home robot in response to one or more of the motion control signals from the control unit. A display unit displays an image in response to the image signal.

10. A system for controlling a home robot, the system comprising the home robot, a home gateway and a supercomputer for controlling said home robot, said supercomputer comprising:
-
a home gateway interface unit for receiving user'"'"'s commands via said home gateway and over a communication network;
a control unit for extracting and interpreting one or more commands of the user and a status signal of the home robot from the user'"'"'s commands received by the home gateway interface unit, said control unit generating a command response signal in response to each interpreted command and a status response signal in response to the status signal;
a service module unit responsive to each said command response signal for generating corresponding command result signals and responsive to said status response signal for generating corresponding status result signals, said command result signals and status result signals being transmitted to said home robot via said control unit and said home gateway interface unit over said network; and
a robot information managing unit for managing a general history of the home robot such as registration information, operation information, accident information and residential position for operations of the control unit. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for operating a home robot using a supercomputer, the method comprising steps of:
-
receiving a voice command of a user at the home robot;
converting the voice command into a digital voice command;
transmitting the digital voice command to the supercomputer through a home gateway;
interpreting the digital voice command transmitted from the home robot through the home gateway at the supercomputer by voice recognition;
generating a response message to the voice command;
synthesizing the response message into a synthesized voice message transmitting the synthesized voice message to the home robot through the home gateway; and
converting the synthesized voice message to produce an analog voice signal to generate an audible voice through a speaker. - View Dependent Claims (17)
