First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling a robot cleaner comprising:
- recognizing information on a monitoring standby position, by a robot cleaner;
moving to the monitoring standby position at a monitoring start time, by the robot cleaner;
acquiring an image at the monitoring standby position, by an image acquisition unit of the robot cleaner;
determining whether an event has occurred, by the robot cleaner, based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit; and
transmitting the image acquired by the image acquisition unit to an external remote terminal when it is determined that the event occurred.

Abstract
A method of controlling a robot cleaner includes recognizing information on a monitoring standby position by a robot cleaner, moving to the monitoring standby position at a monitoring start time by the robot cleaner, acquiring an image, by an image acquisition unit of the robot cleaner, at the monitoring standby position, determining whether an event has occurred, by the robot cleaner, based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, transmitting the image acquired by the image acquisition unit to an external remote terminal when it is determined that the event occurred.

19. A robot cleaner comprising:
-
a robot cleaner main body; an image acquisition unit in the robot cleaner main body; a cleaner communication unit in the robot cleaner main body and communicating with an external remote terminal; a cleaner memory to store an image acquired by the image acquisition unit; and a cleaner controller to determine whether an event has occurred based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, wherein the cleaner controller recognizes a monitoring start time and then directs the robot cleaner main body to move to a monitoring standby position when a current time reaches a monitoring start time, determines whether the event occurred based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit at the monitoring standby position, and controls the cleaner communication unit to transmit the aquired image which is stored in the cleaner memory to the external remote terminal when it is determined that the event has occurred. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A method for controlling a robot cleaner comprising:
-
recognizing information on a monitoring standby position, by a robot cleaner; determining whether a movement condition that the robot cleaner moves to the monitoring standby position is satisfied; moving to the monitoring standby position when the movement condition is satisfied; acquiring an image at the monitoring standby position, by an image acquisition unit of the robot cleaner; determining whether an event has occurred, by the robot cleaner, based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit; and transmitting to an external remote terminal the image acquired by the image acquisition unit when it is determined that the event occurred.
