CLEANER STATION AND CLEANER SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18248338 titled 'CLEANER STATION AND CLEANER SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a cleaner station and a cleaner system including the same. The cleaner system may include: a cleaner; and a cleaner station which collects and removes dust discharged from a dust bin of the cleaner. The cleaner may include a first cleaner which performs manually a cleaning operation by a user, and a second cleaner which performs the cleaning operation while autonomously driving. The cleaner station may include: a housing which has one side coupled to the cleaner and has an inner space where the dust is collected; and a display unit which is disposed on the housing and outputs position information including a moving path of each of the first cleaner and the second cleaner transmitted from the first cleaner and the second cleaner by wireless communication during a cleaning operation.
- Cleaner system with a manual and autonomous cleaning operation.
- Cleaner station collects and removes dust from the cleaner's dust bin.
- Display unit provides position information during cleaning operation.
