METHOD OF CLEANING A SURFACE USING AN AUTOMATIC CLEANING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of cleaning a surface using an automatic cleaning device, the method comprising:
- learning, by an automatic cleaning device, one or more cleaning methods, wherein each cleaning method is associated with a code corresponding to a radio frequency identification tag positioned in a vicinity of a surface to be cleaned;
receiving, by the automatic cleaning device, a target code from a target radio frequency identification tag positioned in a vicinity of a target surface to be cleaned;
determining the cleaning method associated with the target code; and
applying the associated cleaning method to the target surface when the target radio frequency identification tag is detected.
