System and method for graphically allocating robot's working space
First Claim
1. A system for graphically allocating robot'"'"'s working space, comprising:
- an image extractor, a task-allocating server and a robot physically independent from the image extractor, wherein each of the image extractor, the task-allocating server and the robot has a communication unit and a memory unit;
the task-allocating server further comprises a graphic user interface (GUI), and the GUI further comprises a robot'"'"'s working scene area, a space attribute area, and a task area;
wherein after the image extractor extracts an image of an environmental space, the image is transmitted to the task-allocating server by the communication unit and displayed on the robot'"'"'s working scene area in the GUI;
the robot'"'"'s working scene area defines at least one area for the image of the environmental space;
the space attribute area defines an attribute of the area in the robot'"'"'s working scene area, and the task-allocating server records the attribute of the area in a memory unit thereof;
the task area defines a specific task to be executed matching with the attribute of the area, and the task-allocating server converts the specific task into a control command for being transmitted to the robot through the communication unit, such that the robot executes the specific task in the area of the environmental space defined with the space attribute area.

Abstract
System and method for graphically allocating robot'"'"'s working space are provided. The system includes an image extractor, a task-allocating server and a robot. A graphic user interface (GUI) of the task-allocating server includes a robot'"'"'s working scene area, a space attribute allocating area and a robot'"'"'s task area. Thus, a user assigns one certain space area in the robot'"'"'s working scene area with a “wall” attribute, or another space area with a “charging station” attribute. Meanwhile, by using the GUI, the user directly assigns the robot to execute a specific task at a certain area. Hence, the user or remote controller facilitates the robot to provide safer and more effective service through his/her environment recognition.

9. A method for graphically allocating robot'"'"'s working space, at least comprising:
-
using an image extractor to extract an image of an environmental space, transmitting the image to a task-allocating server, and then displaying the image on a robot'"'"'s working scene area in a GUI of the task-allocating server, wherein the image extractor is physically independent from the task-allocating server and a robot; selecting at least one specific area in the robot'"'"'s working scene area, and defining an attribute of the specific area through a space attribute area in the GUI, wherein the task-allocating server records the attribute of the specific area in a memory unit thereof; defining a specific task matching with the attribute of the specific area through a task area in the GUI; and converting the specific task into a control command and transmitting the control command to the robot through the task-allocating server, such that the robot begins to execute the specific task in the specific area. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
