Position detecting system and method of the same
First Claim
1. A position detecting system applicable to a cleansing apparatus for detecting and positioning purposes, the position detecting system comprising:
- an inertia sensing module for detecting a displacement signal of the cleansing apparatus;
an obstacle sensing module for detecting a distance signal for a distance between the cleansing apparatus and an obstacle;
a signal processing module for converting the displacement signal and the distance signal into an actual displacement path and an obstacle distance respectively, comparing the actual displacement path and the obstacle distance with a preset path, and adjusting a traveling path of the cleansing apparatus based on the comparison results thus obtained;
a memory module for storing the preset path configured for comparison with the actual displacement path and the obstacle distance, and for storing the adjusted traveling path produced by the signal processing module; and
a control module for controlling traveling of the cleansing apparatus based on the preset path and the adjusted traveling path.

Abstract
A position detecting system and a method of the same are disclosed according to the present invention as follows: an inertia sensing module and an obstacle sensing module are adapted to detect a displacement signal of a cleansing apparatus and a distance signal of a distance between the cleansing apparatus and an obstacle respectively; and then a signal processing module is adapted to convert the displacement signal and the distance signal into an actual displacement path and an obstacle distance respectively, and then compare the actual displacement path and the obstacle distance with a preset path respectively to determine if the cleansing apparatus is traveling at the same place over again, or if the cleansing apparatus is going to hit the obstacle, and then the signal processing module will adjust a traveling path based on comparison results; and a control module is adapted to control traveling of the cleansing apparatus based on the adjusted traveling path. Hence, the cleansing apparatus is capable of repeating the foregoing steps for detecting and positioning purposes at any time during a cleansing process, thereby avoiding repetitive cleaning at the same place.
