Abstract

A computer readable recording media recording at least one program. An automatic clean machine control method is performed if the program is executed, which comprises: (a) input a drawing or a picture to an automatic clean machine by a first user, wherein the automatic clean machine acquires a map based on the drawing or the picture; (b) directly selecting a region to be cleaned on the map; and (c) controlling the automatic clean machine to perform a first clean operation to the region to be cleaned based on the map.

Claims (25)

1. A computer readable recording media, recording at least one program, an automatic clean machine control method is performed if the program is executed, which comprises:

(a) input a drawing or a picture to an automatic clean machine by a first user, wherein the automatic clean machine acquires a map based on the drawing or the picture;

(b) directly selecting a region to be cleaned on the map; and

(c) controlling the automatic clean machine to perform a first clean operation to the region to be cleaned based on the map.

2. The computer readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the step (a) controls the automatic clean machine to automatically build the map based on at least one clean path recorded in the automatic clean machine.

3. The computer readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the map is a 2-dimensional drawing or a 3-dimensional drawing.

4. The computer readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the automatic clean machine control method further comprises:

providing obstacle information on the map;

wherein the step (c) controls the automatic clean machine to plan a clean path according to the obstacle information to perform the first clean operation.

5. The computer readable recording media of claim 4 , wherein the obstacle information comprises an edge for at least one object comprised in the map.

6. The computer readable recording media of claim 4 , wherein the obstacle information is provided on the map via directly marking on the picture.

7. The computer readable recording media of claim 4 , wherein the obstacle information is provided by detecting a surrounding environment via the automatic clean machine.

8. An automatic clean machine, comprising:

a storage device, configured to store a map, wherein the automatic clean machine acquires the map based on a drawing input by a first user or based on a picture input by the first user; and

a control circuit, configured to perform the following steps:

(a) receiving a select signal generated via directly selecting a region to be cleaned on the map; and

(b) controlling the automatic clean machine to perform a first clean operation to the region to be cleaned based on the map.

9. The automatic clean machine of claim 8 , further comprising a map computing circuit, wherein the map is established based on at least one clean path recorded in the automatic clean machine via the map computing circuit.

10. The automatic clean machine of claim 8 , wherein the map is a 2-dimensional drawing or a 3-dimensional drawing.

11. The automatic clean machine of claim 8 ,

wherein the map further comprises obstacle information;

wherein the step (b) controls the automatic clean machine to plan a clean path according to the obstacle information to perform the first clean operation.

12. The automatic clean machine of claim 11 , wherein the obstacle information comprises an edge for at least one object comprised in the map.

13. The automatic clean machine of claim 11 , wherein the obstacle information is provided on the map via directly marking on the picture.

14. The automatic clean machine of claim 11 , wherein the obstacle information is provided by detecting a surrounding environment via the automatic clean machine.
