Traveling control method, medium, and apparatus for autonomous navigation
First Claim
1. A traveling control method of controlling an autonomous navigation machine having at least first and second receivers that receive a radio signal transmitted from a transmitter disposed at a specific position in a traveling area, the method comprising:
- receiving the radio signal with at least one of the first and second receivers both configured to receive the radio signal;
recognizing a command included in the received radio signal; and
acquiring data indicating a size of a recognizable area corresponding to the radio signal and a position of the transmitter while the autonomous navigation machine moves along a border of the recognizable area,wherein the autonomous navigation machine travels along the border of the recognizable area according to a traveling mode and a turning angle that are determined based on a determination of whether the first receiver receives the radio signal and whether the second receiver receives the radio signal, such that when the radio signal is received the traveling mode and the turning angle are determined based on whether the radio signal is received by both of the first and second receivers or received by only one of the first and second receivers.

Abstract
A traveling control method, medium, and apparatus for autonomous navigation. The traveling control method of controlling an autonomous navigation machine, having at least on the right and left sides thereof at least first and second receivers that receive a radio signal transmitted from a transmitter disposed at a specific position in a traveling area, the method includes allowing at least one of the first and second receivers to receive the radio signal, recognizing a command included in the received radio signal, acquiring data indicating a size of a recognizable area reached by the radio signal and a position of the transmitter while the autonomous navigation machine moves along the border of the recognizable area, and executing the recognized command in the recognizable area.

4. A navigation apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
-
a receiving unit including at least first and second receivers both configured to receive a radio signal transmitted from a transmitting unit; and a controlling unit that controls a traveling of the navigation apparatus such that the navigation apparatus travels along a border of a recognizable area according to a traveling mode and a turning angle based on a determination of whether the first receiver receives the radio signal and whether the second receiver receives the radio signal, such that when the radio signal is received the traveling mode and the turning angle are determined based on whether the radio signal is received by both of the first and second receivers or received by only one of the first and second receivers. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
