AUTONOMOUS MOVEMENT DEVICE AND AUTONOMOUS MOVEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447961 titled 'AUTONOMOUS MOVEMENT DEVICE AND AUTONOMOUS MOVEMENT SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an autonomous movement device that can receive and process output information to determine its movement direction.

  • The device includes an antenna unit to receive output information.
  • An angle estimation unit estimates the arrival direction of the output information.
  • A reception strength determination unit determines the reception strength of the output information in the estimated arrival direction.
  • An operation control unit generates movement direction information based on the estimated arrival direction and the reception strength.
  • The movement direction information includes the direction for the device to move.
  • The operation control unit also considers the magnitude or change in reception strength when generating the movement direction information.
  • A drive unit generates drive information corresponding to the movement direction information, enabling the device to move accordingly.


Original Abstract Submitted

The autonomous movement device includes: an reception unit that is an antenna unit configured to receive output information; an angle estimation unit configured to estimate an arrival direction of the output information; a reception strength determination unit configured to determine a reception strength of the output information in the estimated arrival direction; an operation control unit configured generate movement direction information including a movement direction for moving an autonomous movement device, according to the estimated arrival direction and a magnitude of or a change in the reception strength; and a drive unit configured to generate drive information corresponding to the movement direction information.
