Abstract

A method of classifying and collecting feature information of an area according to a robot's moving path, a robot controlled by area features, and a method and apparatus for composing a user interface using the area features are disclosed. The robot includes a plurality of sensor modules to collect feature information of a predetermined area along a moving path of the robot, and an analyzer to analyze the collected feature information of the predetermined area according to a predetermined reference range and to classify the collected feature information into a plurality of groups.

Claims (9)

1. An apparatus for composing a user interface using area features, comprising:

at least one processor to control a menu construction module to construct a plurality of menus using feature information of a predetermined area, the feature information being collected along a moving path of a robot; and

a transmitter to transmit a control signal corresponding to the menus.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an output module outputting the menus to a screen, wherein the menus comprise entries including at least one of a floor material of an area where the robot is located, a dust pollution level, a cleaning frequency, and information regarding an obstacle located above the robot.

3. A method of composing a user interface using area features, comprising:

constructing a plurality of menus using feature information of a predetermined area, the feature information being collected along a moving path of a robot; and

transmitting a control signal corresponding to the menus.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising outputting the menus to a screen, wherein the menus comprise entries including least one of a floor material of an area where the robot is located, a dust pollution level, a cleaning frequency, and information regarding an obstacle located above the robot.

5. At least one non-transitory medium storing computer readable code to control at least one processing element to implement the method of claim 4 .
