Abstract: A vacuum cleaner system includes a position sensor that acquires a positional relationship between the vacuum cleaner and an object around the vacuum cleaner, a map acquisition unit that acquires a floor map indicating the predetermined floor, a self-position estimation unit that estimates a self-position on the floor map based on the position sensor, the self-position being a position of the vacuum cleaner, a boundary information generation unit that acquires, based on the self-position, boundary information indicating a boundary of a cleaning area which is an area where the vacuum cleaner performs cleaning on the floor, a boundary instruction unit that instructs the boundary information generation unit on the boundary, a cleaning area creation unit that creates a cleaning area based on the boundary information, and a running route creation unit that creates a running route for cleaning based on the created cleaning area.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner autonomously runs in a predetermined space and performs cleaning. This vacuum cleaner includes a position sensor that acquires a positional relationship between the vacuum cleaner and an object present in a two-dimensional measurement target space along a running surface of the vacuum cleaner, an estimated map acquisition unit that acquires a self-position estimation map corresponding to the measurement target space, a cleaning route acquisition unit that acquires a cleaning route created along the running surface based on a route planning map having a shape different from a shape of the self-position estimation map, a self-position estimation unit that estimates the self-position using the positional relationship based on the position sensor and the self-position estimation map, and a running controller that causes the vacuum cleaner to run along the cleaning route based on the self-position estimated by the self-position estimation unit.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner system includes a vacuum cleaner and a first marker allowed to be placed in a cleaning area, and the vacuum cleaner includes a map acquisition unit that acquires a map, a positional relationship acquisition unit that acquires a first positional relationship indicating a positional relationship between the vacuum cleaner and the first marker in the cleaning area, and a marker information acquisition unit that acquires first marker information carried by the first marker. The vacuum cleaner system further includes a cleaning plan construction unit that constructs a cleaning plan in the map based on the first marker information, the first positional relationship, and a self-position of the vacuum cleaner in the map. This provides a vacuum cleaner system capable of automatically constructing a cleaning plan.
