==CLEANING DEVICE HAVING VACUUM CLEANER AND DOCKING STATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519704 titled 'CLEANING DEVICE HAVING VACUUM CLEANER AND DOCKING STATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The cleaning device described in the patent application is a vacuum cleaner with a unique docking station that includes a suction device, a collector, a suction flow path, a flow adjusting device, and at least one processor for control.

* The vacuum cleaner includes a dust collecting container and is coupled to a docking station.
* The docking station has a suction device that moves air from the dust collecting container to inside the station.
* A collector in the docking station collects foreign substances moved with the air by the suction device.
* There is a suction flow path inside the docking station for air movement.
* A flow adjusting device opens or closes the suction flow path.
* The processor controls the suction device based on the dust collecting container being coupled and periodically opens and closes the suction flow path.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in this patent application could be used in household vacuum cleaners, industrial cleaning equipment, and automated cleaning systems in various settings.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of efficiently collecting and disposing of dust and debris in a vacuum cleaner by automating the process through the docking station.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved cleaning efficiency, reduced manual intervention, and better containment of dust and foreign substances during the cleaning process.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The potential commercial applications of this technology include manufacturing and selling advanced vacuum cleaners for residential and commercial use, licensing the technology to other companies for integration into their cleaning products, and developing customized cleaning solutions for specific industries.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be robotic vacuum cleaners with docking stations that automatically empty the dust collecting container. Another could be industrial vacuum systems with automated dust disposal mechanisms.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to existing vacuum cleaner docking stations with automatic dust disposal features? ===

This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing vacuum cleaner docking stations with automatic dust disposal features. It would be helpful to understand the specific advantages and differences of this technology compared to what is currently available in the market.

=== What is the expected lifespan of the components in the docking station, such as the suction device and flow adjusting device? ===

The article does not mention the expected lifespan of the components in the docking station. Knowing this information would be crucial for consumers and manufacturers to assess the long-term durability and maintenance requirements of the cleaning device.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A cleaning device and a method therefor are provided. The cleaning device includes a vacuum cleaner including a dust collecting container and a docking station to which the dust collecting container is coupled. The docking station includes a suction device configured to move air from the dust collecting container to inside of the docking station, a collector configured to collect a foreign substance that is moved together with the air by driving of the suction device, a suction flow path along which air moves inside the docking station, a flow adjusting device configured to open or close the suction flow path, and at least one processor configured to control the suction device to operate based on the dust collecting container being coupled to the docking station, and control the flow adjusting device to periodically open and close the suction flow path in a state in which the suction device operates.
