Abstract

Disclosed herein is a motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal.

The method, comprising the steps of:

• • creating a multimedia file, including motion control data, in an audio transmission file format in such a manner that motion control data and data for determination of whether the motion control data is included are inserted into a specific channel and audio data is inserted into another specific channel; sending the multimedia file, including the motion control data, to a terminal device using a transmission method suitable for the audio transmission file format; the terminal device determining whether the motion control data is included based on the determination data included in the multimedia file, including the motion control data, and sending the motion control data to the robot terminal if the motion control data is included, and sending no motion control data if the motion control data is not included; the robot terminal sending the received motion control data to a motion driving device; and playing motion of the robot terminal through the motion driving device.

Claims

1. A motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal, comprising the steps of:

creating a multimedia file, including motion control data, in an audio transmission file format in such a manner that motion control data and data for determination of whether the motion control data is included are inserted into a specific channel and audio data is inserted into another specific channel;

sending the multimedia file, including the motion control data, to a terminal device using a transmission method suitable for the audio transmission file format;

the terminal device determining whether the motion control data is included based on the determination data included in the multimedia file, including the motion control data, and sending the motion control data to the robot terminal if the motion control data is included, and sending no motion control data if the motion control data is not included;

the robot terminal sending the received motion control data to a motion driving device; and

playing motion of the robot terminal through the motion driving device.

3. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein the terminal device audio is a Personal Computer (PC).

4. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein the determination is performed by examining a repetition pattern of first specific bit of the determination data.

5. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 4, wherein a repetition pattern of second specific bit of the determination data determines one or more directions of the related motion joint if, as a result of the determination, the motion control data is included in the received determination data.

6. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 4, wherein serial transmission of third specific bit of the determination data forms additional motion control data if, as a result of the determination, the motion control data is included in the received determination data.

7. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein the audio transmission file is a WAVE file.

8. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein the motion control data forms one or more Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) pulse strings that control the motion driving device.

9. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein each bit of the motion control data is assigned to a specific driving target.

10. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein the motion is motion related to a web page that is viewed by a user.

11. The motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein the motion is motion related to an event that occurs during use of a Personal Computer (PC).

2. A motion control data transmission and motion playing method for an audio device-compatible robot terminal, comprising the steps of:

creating a multimedia file, including motion control data, in an audio transmission file format in such a manner that motion control data and data for determination of whether the motion control data is included are inserted into a specific channel and audio data is inserted into another specific channel;

sending the multimedia file, including the motion control data, to a terminal device using a transmission method suitable for the audio transmission file format;

the terminal device sending the motion control data and the determination data to the robot terminal;

the robot terminal determining whether the motion control data is included based on the determination data, and sending the motion control data to a motion driving device if the motion control data is included, and sending no motion control data if the motion control data is not included; and

playing motion of the robot terminal through the motion driving device.
