Abstract

A remote monitoring system and a method for operating the same are revealed. The system gets monitoring images by a camera module of an automatic movable device. Then the monitoring images are output to a cloud storage device through a network module of the automatic movable device. A user at the remote end can receive and display the monitoring devices from the cloud storage device through the network or perform feedback control by a browsing device such as handheld electronic device or computer. Thus household appliances are integrated with cloud and other information media products to provide household monitoring function.

Claims

1. A remote monitoring system comprising:

an automatic movable device having a camera module for getting a monitoring image, a first network module to transmit the monitoring image, and at least one wheel-like body that moves the automatic movable device;

a cloud storage device located at a remote end of an user, receiving the monitoring image through a network and storing the monitoring image; and

a browsing device arranged near the user, having a second network module, receiving the monitoring image from the cloud storage device through the network, and having an image display module for displaying the monitoring image.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the automatic movable device further includes a cleaner module that performs cleaning while the automatic movable device is moved.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the automatic movable device further includes a dynamic sensing unit that is connected to the camera module;

the camera module is triggered to get the monitoring image when the dynamic sensing unit detects a moving object.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the browsing device controls the automatic movable device through the network.

4. The system as claimed in claim I, wherein the browsing device is a computer or a handheld electronic device;

the browsing device receives the monitoring image from the cloud storage device through the network.

6. A method for operating a remote monitoring system comprising the steps of:

getting a monitoring image by a camera module of an automatic movable device;

uploading the monitoring age from the automatic movable device to a cloud storage device by the automatic movable device; and

logging in the cloud storage device to get and display the monitoring image by a browsing device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the browsing device gets an internet protocol address of the automatic movable device while the monitoring image is displayed by the browsing device in a real time manner through the network.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the browsing device gets an internet protocol address of the automatic movable device by sending an electronic mail through the automatic movable device.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the camera module is triggered by a dynamic sensing unit when the dynamic sensing unit detects a moving object;

the automatic movable device transmits a picture of the monitoring image to the browsing device simultaneously.

10. A remote monitoring system comprising an automatic movable device, a cloud storage device, and a browsing device connected with each other by a network;

the automatic movable device having at least one wheel-like body and a cleaner module while the browsing device having a graphical user interface;

wherein the graphical user interface includes;

a cloud login page having an account login box and a password login box; and

a monitor and control web page having an image display box, a volume adjustment box, an auxiliary light source member, a shoot box, a video capture switch box, a clean switch box, a direction control box and a dynamic detection switch box.
