Patrol device and patrol path planning method for the same
First Claim
1. A patrol path planning method, comprising the steps of:
- setting an Allowed Vacant Time (AVT);
providing a plurality of patrol paths, each of which passes through a plurality of patrol regions, each of which has a Patrol Omission (PO) value determined by whether the respective passed patrol region is patrolled or not within the AVT and a Patrol Quality (PQ) value determined by a ratio of an average time per patrol for the respective passed patrol region to the AVT;
obtaining an Average Patrol Omission (APO) value and an Average Patrol Quality (APQ) value for each of the plurality of patrol paths; and
evaluating the plurality of patrol paths according to the respective APO values and the respective APQ values so as to select an optimum patrol path therefrom.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a patrol device and a patrol path planning method. The patrol device includes an operating unit configured to establish a plurality of patrol paths, each of which has an Average Patrol Omission (APO) value and an Average Patrol Quality (APQ) value, and to determine an optimum patrol path from the plurality of patrol paths according to the APO value and the APQ value; and a moving unit configured to move along the optimum patrol path. The method includes providing a plurality of patrol paths, each of which has an Average Patrol Omission (APO) value and an Average Patrol Quality (APQ) value; and evaluating the plurality of patrol paths according to the respective APO values and the respective APQ values so as to select an optimum patrol path therefrom.

12. A route planning method, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a plurality of patrol paths and a plurality of selected patrol regions each of which has a Patrol Omission (PO) value and a Patrol Quality (PQ) value, wherein the PO value is determined based on whether the respective selected patrol region is patrolled or not within an Allowed Vacant Time (AVT) and the PQ value is determined based on a ratio of an average time per patrol for the respective selected patrol region to the AVT; and selecting an optimum patrol path from the plurality of patrol paths according to one set of values selected from a group consisting of the respective PO values, the respective PQ values and a combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
