Abstract
A robot cleaner is accessed to a terminal through a network. A situation inside a house can be real-time checked from the outside, and the situation can be rapidly handled according to a state of the robot cleaner. The robot cleaner can patrol a predetermined region or move to a user'"'"'s desired location, and can provide, to the user through the terminal, images captured on a moving path or the user'"'"'s desired location. The robot cleaner can provide image information captured during the cleaning to the terminal. And, the terminal can video-record the image information.
