Abstract
A movement operation system for autonomous moving cleaning apparatus comprises a virtual wall apparatus and an autonomous moving cleaning apparatus. The virtual wall apparatus includes an infrared ray emitter. The autonomous moving cleaning apparatus includes an infrared ray receiver and a microcontroller unit. The infrared ray emitter emits at least one encrypted infrared signal within an emission zone. When the autonomous moving cleaning apparatus enters the emission zone and the infrared ray receiver receives the encrypted infrared signal, the microcontroller unit controls the autonomous moving cleaning apparatus to move away from the virtual wall apparatus. The encrypted infrared signal can be encrypted in different codes or operating frequencies to prevent the autonomous moving cleaning apparatus from being interfered by external lights or other infrared rays so that it can operate steadily.
