CLOUD SERVER AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING SOFTWARE IMAGE OF ROBOT IN CLOUD SERVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18553963 titled 'CLOUD SERVER AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING SOFTWARE IMAGE OF ROBOT IN CLOUD SERVER

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a cloud server that communicates with robots and external devices, receiving information about the robots' operating system, hardware, and software, generating software images based on this information, and transmitting them back to the robots.

  • Communication unit: Transmits and receives data between robots and external devices.
  • Control unit: Receives information about a robot's operating system, hardware, and software, generates software images based on this data, and sends them back to the robot if no corresponding software image is present.
  • Software image generation: Based on extracted information from the robot, the control unit creates software images for the robot to use.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics to streamline software updates and management for robots.

Problems Solved

1. Simplifies the process of updating and managing software for multiple robots. 2. Ensures that each robot has the necessary software image tailored to its specific operating system and hardware.

Benefits

1. Increases efficiency by automating the software image generation process. 2. Reduces the risk of errors in software updates for robots. 3. Enhances overall system performance by providing optimized software images for each robot.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Robot Software Images for Improved Performance

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing systems or methods for managing software updates for robots, but the specific approach of generating software images based on extracted information from the robots may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the cloud server ensure the security and integrity of the software images transmitted to the robots? 2. Are there any limitations or constraints in terms of the size or complexity of the software images that can be generated and transmitted to the robots?


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a cloud server, comprising a communication unit transmitting and receiving data to and from at least one robot and an external device; and a control unit which receives a first signal including operating system information of a first robot, hardware information of the first robot, and software information of the first robot from a first robot among the at least one robot; if no software image corresponding to the first signal is present, extracts the operating system information of the first robot, the hardware information of the first robot, and the software information of the first robot from the first signal; generates a software image based on the extracted operating system information of the first robot, the extracted hardware information of the first robot, and the extracted software information of the first robot; and transmits the generated software image to the first robot.
