- a case;
a suction device provided in the case;
a suction nozzle configured to suck dust from a floor by driving of the suction device;
a dust collection device for collecting foreign substances contained in the air sucked via the suction nozzle;
a drive module including wheels to allow movement;
a controller configured to control the driving of the suction device and the drive module, and configured to generate cleaning history information, the cleaning history information including map information on a cleaning area and moving path information;
a memory configured to store the cleaning history information; and
a wireless communication module provided in the case and configured to transmit the cleaning history information to an external terminal when the robot cleaner receives a signal requesting cleaning history information transmitted from an external terminal,wherein the cleaning history information includes bibliographical information for distinguishing a series of cleanings from start to end of the cleanings from other cleanings,wherein the robot cleaner creates the bibliographical information as an individual list, wherein a preset number of individual lists are stored in a chronological order, and a new individual list replaces an oldest individual list for storage when the preset number has been reached.

10. A robot cleaner system comprising:
-
a robot cleaner configured to provide cleaning history information including map information of a cleaning area and moving path information; and a mobile terminal configured to wirelessly communicate with the robot cleaner, to request the robot cleaner for the cleaning history information, to display a map based on the received cleaning history information and to display a sequential moving path of the robot cleaner on the displayed map, wherein the robot cleaner transmits the cleaning history information to the mobile terminal when the robot cleaner receives, from the mobile terminal, a signal requesting cleaning history information, wherein the cleaning history information includes bibliographical information for distinguishing a series of cleanings from start to end of the cleanings from other cleanings, and wherein the robot cleaner creates the bibliographical information as an individual list, wherein a preset number of individual lists are stored in a chronological order, and a new individual list replaces an oldest individual list for storage when the preset number has been reached.
