Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a delivery robot provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Delivery robots are mobile service robots with autonomous positioning and navigation functions. Delivery robots can provide delivery services in hotel, KTV and other application scenarios. For example, the application scenario of a delivery robot is a hotel, where a guest checks in in a hotel room, and the guest (or user) places an order for shopping in a commodity mall on a mobile terminal, and the delivery robot delivers the items to the room corresponding to the guest. As shown in Figure 1, a bedroom, a living room and a washroom can be arranged in the room (or guest room). When the delivery robot arrives outside the door of the room, it can send a notification message to the occupants in the room to notify the occupants of the delivery of the items.

Please refer to FIG. 2 . FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a delivery robot notification method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for notifying a delivery robot. The execution subject of the method for notifying a delivery robot is an electronic device, for example, for the delivery robot shown in FIG. 1 , the method for notifying a delivery robot includes the following steps S21-S23:

Step S21, acquiring the usage status of the electrical equipment in the room.

In this embodiment, the delivery robot acquires the usage status of the electrical equipment in the room. Electrical equipment refers to electrical appliances located in the room, such as lamps, desk lamps, chandeliers, air conditioners, chargers, charging piles, robot vacuums, smart screens, projectors, water heaters, water flow switch control valves (such as solenoid valves), etc. Electrical equipment. The usage status of a powered device includes an on state or an off state. As shown in Figure 1, the hotel room is equipped with a bedroom, a living room and a washroom. Air conditioners, desk lamps, chandeliers, chargers and other electrical equipment are installed in the bedroom. Electric lights, table lamps, chandeliers, chargers, charging piles, smart screens, projectors, water heaters and other electrical equipment are installed in the living room. The washing room is equipped with water heaters, water flow switch control valves and other electrical equipment. Understandably, in an actual application scenario, different power consumption devices may be installed in different areas of the room, or the same power consumption device may be installed. The installation locations of some or all of the electrical equipment arranged in the application scene are recorded in association with the equipment numbers of the electrical equipment to form a unique identification of the electrical equipment, so that the usage of each electrical equipment in the room can be collected in a distinguishable manner.

In some embodiments, the hotel room is equipped with a monitoring device for obtaining the usage of each electric device in the room, and the monitoring device is a server or a controller that can communicate with the delivery robot or each electric device. The monitoring device can be installed inside or outside the room. For example, the monitoring device is installed at the door of the room, so that the delivery robot can conveniently establish short-distance wireless communication with the monitoring device. For example, each electric device in the room communicates with the server through a wireless connection, and feeds back the usage status of the electric device to the monitoring device. Taking the electrical equipment as the water flow switch control valve as an example, when the water flow switch control valve is opened at 12:05, an electrical signal is fed back to the monitoring device, so that the monitoring device records: the water flow switch control valve located in the washroom is at 12:05: 05 is turned on, and the water flow switch control valve is in the open state. When the delivery robot arrives at the preset notification location outside the room door (for example, the preset notification location is an area within 3 meters from the room door), the delivery robot communicates with the monitoring device and obtains the usage of the water flow switch control valve in the room. The situation is: the water flow switch control valve located in the wash room is opened at 12:05, and the water flow switch control valve is in the open state.

Similarly, when the water flow switch control valve is closed at 12:08, an electrical signal is fed back to the monitoring device, so that the monitoring device records: the water flow switch control valve in the washroom is closed at 12:08, and the water flow switch control valve is at Disabled.

In this embodiment, the hotel room is provided with a bedroom, a living room and a washroom. The first device is installed in the bedroom, the second device is installed in the living room, and the third device is installed in the washroom. The monitoring device records the current usage of the first device, the second device, and the third device, and through the first The usage of the device, the second device, and the third device determine the potential areas for the occupants. The first device may be one of electric lamps, desk lamps, chandeliers, air conditioners, chargers, charging piles, sweeping robots, smart screens, projectors, water heaters, water flow switch control valves (for example, solenoid valves) and other electrical devices. The second device may be one of electric lamps, table lamps, chandeliers, air conditioners, chargers, charging piles, sweeping robots, smart screens, projectors, water heaters, water flow switch control valves (eg, solenoid valves) and other electrical devices. The third device may be one of electric lamps, desk lamps, chandeliers, air conditioners, chargers, charging piles, sweeping robots, smart screens, projectors, water heaters, water flow switch control valves (eg, solenoid valves) and other electrical devices. For example, the first device is an air conditioner, the second device is a smart screen, and the third device is a water flow switch control valve. It can be understood that other electrical equipment can still be installed in the room, which is not limited here.

The step of acquiring the usage status of the electrical equipment in the room includes: when the delivery robot arrives at a preset notification position outside the room, communicate with the monitoring device through the first network, and acquire the usage status of each electrical equipment in the room.

When the distribution robot arrives at the preset notification position outside the room, it communicates with the monitoring device through the first network, wherein the first network is a wireless communication network, for example, the first network is a Bluetooth communication network or an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) communication network . After the distribution robot establishes wireless communication with the monitoring device, it requests the monitoring device to feedback the use of various electrical equipment in the room, such as the use of the air conditioner in the bedroom, the smart screen in the living room, and the water flow switch control valve in the washroom. The monitoring device responds to the request, and feeds back the use of the electric lights in the bedroom, the smart screen in the living room, and the water flow switch control valve in the washroom to the distribution robot.

In some other embodiments, when the delivery robot arrives at the preset notification position outside the room, it communicates with the cloud through the second network, and obtains the usage status of each power-consuming device in the room, wherein each power-consuming device in the room is related to Cloud communication connection, and feed back the use of the electrical equipment itself to the cloud. The second network is a wireless communication network, for example, the second network is a WIFI communication network, and the delivery robot communicates with the cloud server through the WIFI communication network. After the delivery robot establishes wireless communication with the cloud, it requests the cloud to provide feedback on the use of various electrical equipment in the room, such as the use of the air conditioner in the bedroom, the smart screen in the living room, and the water flow switch control valve in the bathroom. Request and feedback the use of the lights in the bedroom, the smart screen in the living room and the water flow switch control valve in the washroom to the delivery robot. Each electrical device in the room communicates with the cloud server, and feeds back the usage of the electrical device itself to the cloud. That is, each electrical device in the room communicates with the cloud server, and feeds back the usage status of the electrical device itself (for example, on or off) to the cloud server in real time, and the cloud server is used to record the status of each electrical device in the room. usage status, and send the usage status of electrical equipment to the delivery robot.

Further, before the step S21, the step of obtaining the usage status of the electrical equipment in the room, the present invention also includes: dividing the internal area of the room into one or more sub-areas; setting at least one for each sub-area Monitored electrical equipment. The interior area of the room is divided into one or more sub-areas, and a potential area is determined in the one or more sub-areas, and the potential area is used to represent the area where the target person is currently located. For example, divide the internal area of a room in a hotel into a bedroom, a living room, and a washroom. An air conditioner is installed in the bedroom, a smart screen is installed in the living room, and a water flow control valve is installed in the washroom. By collecting the usage of the air conditioner , the usage of the smart screen and the usage of the water flow switch control to determine the potential area where the guest is currently located.

In this embodiment, the interior area of the room is divided into one or more sub-areas (for example, bedroom, living room and washroom), and electrical equipment for monitoring is provided in each sub-area. Privacy leaks, the electrical equipment only needs to feedback the usage of the electrical equipment itself, and the distribution robot obtains the usage of the electrical equipment in the room through the monitoring device or cloud server outside the room door, so as to infer the location of the occupants in the room. Potential location, and according to the potential location of the occupants, targeted notifications are made to the occupants, so as to achieve the technical purpose of efficiently conveying the notification information.

In step S22, the potential area where the target person is located is determined according to the usage of the electric device.

In this embodiment, the target person is a resident in the room, and the delivery robot needs to convey the notification information to the resident in the room. The potential area is the likely area where the guest's current location is located. After the delivery robot knows the usage of the electrical equipment in the room, it determines the potential area where the current location of the resident (target person) is located according to the usage of the electrical equipment.

In some embodiments, the usage condition of the powered device includes an on state or an off state. The step of determining the potential area where the target person is located according to the usage of the electrical equipment includes: determining the area where the electrical equipment that is turned on in the room is located as the potential area where the target person is located. According to the on state or off state of the electrical equipment in the room, the potential area where the target person is currently located is determined.

Optionally, the room is equipped with a bedroom, a living room and a washroom; the electrical equipment installed in the bedroom is the first equipment, the electrical equipment installed in the living room is the second equipment, and the electrical equipment installed in the washroom is The third equipment, for example, the electrical equipment installed in the bedroom is an air conditioner, the electrical equipment installed in the living room is a smart screen, and the electrical equipment installed in the washroom is a water flow switch control valve. The step of determining the potential area where the target person is located according to the use of the electric equipment includes: determining the potential area where the target person is located according to the use of the first device, the second device and the third device in the room. Understandably, when the electrical equipment is turned on, it means that the residents are likely to be in the area where the electrical equipment is turned on. For example, the air conditioner in the bedroom is turned on, the smart screen in the living room is turned off, and the When the water flow switch control valve is in the closed state, it is determined that the resident (that is, the target person) is located in the bedroom at the moment, that is, the potential area where the target person is currently located is the bedroom. For another example, when the air conditioner in the bedroom is off, the smart screen in the living room is on, and the water flow switch control valve in the washroom is off, it is determined that the resident (that is, the target person) is in the living room at the moment. That is, the potential area where the target person is currently located is the living room. For another example, when the air conditioner in the bedroom is off, the smart screen in the living room is off, and the water flow switch control valve in the washroom is on, it is determined that the guest (that is, the target person) is in the washroom at the moment. That is, the potential area where the target person is currently located is the washroom.

In some other embodiments, the step of determining the area where the power-consuming equipment in the turned-on state is located in the room as the potential area where the target person is located includes: among all the power-consuming equipment that is in the turned-on state, initial The electric device whose time is closest to the current moment of the distribution robot is determined as the target electric device; the area where the target electric device is located is determined as the potential area where the target person is located.

Understandably, when the electrical equipment is turned on, it means that the resident is in the area where the electrical equipment is located. In this embodiment, multiple electric devices may be turned on at the same time in the room, and among all the electric devices in the turned-on state, the initial time of turning on the electric device and the electric device closest to the current moment of the delivery robot are determined For the target electrical equipment, the area where the target electrical equipment is located is determined as the potential area where the target person is located. For example, if a resident watches TV or movies on a smart screen in the living room, when he goes to the bathroom to wash his hands or take a shower, he will turn on the water flow switch control valve in the bathroom. When the nearest electrical device at the current moment of the robot is the water flow switch control valve, the water flow switch control valve is determined as the target electrical device, and the area where the target electrical device is located is determined as the potential area where the target person is located, that is, the location of the target person is determined. The guest is now in the washroom.

In this embodiment, the potential area where the target person is currently located is determined through the use of the electric equipment in the room, so as to achieve the technical purpose of targeted notification.

In some other embodiments, the usage status of the electrical device includes an on state or an off status; the step of determining the potential area where the target person is located according to the usage status of the electrical device includes: when the usage status of the electrical device is an off status , determining an electric device whose duration between the initial time when the electric device is turned off and the current moment of the distribution robot is less than a preset time length is determined as the target electric device; and the area where the target electric device is located is determined as a potential area where the target person is located. Optionally, the preset duration is 30 seconds.

Understandably, when the use of the electric equipment is off, the guest is located in the area where the electric equipment just turned off. In this embodiment, an electric device whose duration between the initial time when the electric device is turned off and the current moment of the delivery robot is less than a preset time length (for example, 30s) is determined as the target electric device, and the target electric device The location area is determined as a potential area where the target person is located. For example, when the smart screen in the living room has just been turned off, that is, when the time between the initial time when the smart screen is turned off and the current moment of the delivery robot is less than 30s, the smart screen is determined as the target electrical device and the living room is determined is the potential area where the target person is currently located.

In this embodiment, the potential area where the target person is currently located is determined through the off state of the electric device and the time it is in the off state, so as to accurately determine the potential area where the target person is currently located.

Step S23, sending notification information to the target person through the notification device associated with the potential area.

In this embodiment, each potential area is associated with at least one notification device, and the notification device is a speaker and/or a display device. For example, speakers or smart speakers are installed in the bedroom, smart screens are installed in the living room, and speakers or smart speakers are installed in the washroom. When the distribution robot determines the current area of the target person, the notification device associated with the potential area is wirelessly connected (for example, Bluetooth connection), and drives the notification device to broadcast notification information. For example, the notification information is: Dear, the takeaway you ordered It has been delivered to the door of the room, please come and pick it up!

Of course, the delivery robot can still send an instruction to the cloud server to instruct the cloud service to send a broadcast instruction to the notification device associated with the potential area, so as to drive the notification device to broadcast notification information.

In this embodiment, the delivery robot obtains the usage status of the electrical equipment in the room at the preset notification position outside the room door, and determines the potential area where the target person is based on the usage status of the electrical equipment, and finally communicates with the potential The region-related notification device sends notification information to the target person, so as to achieve the technical purpose of sending notification information to the target person in a targeted manner, so as to enhance user experience. In some existing technologies, image recognition is performed to determine the location of a character based on the acquired image, but this approach will lead to leakage of the privacy of the character and poor user experience. In this application, the potential area where the target person is located can be determined only by collecting the use of the electric device, that is, the on state or off state of the electric device, avoiding the drawbacks of the prior art that lead to the leakage of the person's privacy.

In some other embodiments, the step of sending notification information to the target person through a notification device associated with the potential area includes: sending notification information to the target person through a speaker and/or a display device associated with the potential area. Optionally, if the notification device associated with the potential area is a smart screen, a notification dialog box pops up through the smart screen to send notification information to the target person, and/or sends notification information to the target person through the speaker of the smart screen.

In some other embodiments, after the step of sending notification information to the target person through the notification device associated with the potential area, the distribution robot notification method includes: if the target person is not obtained within a preset waiting period after sending the notification information Then select another area in the room as a new potential area, and resend the notification information to the target person through the notification device associated with the new potential area. Optionally, the preset waiting period is 1 minute.

Understandably, the interior area of the room is divided into one or more sub-areas, and a potential area is determined in the one or more sub-areas, and the potential area is used to represent the area where the target person is currently located. After the delivery robot sends notification information to the target person through the notification device associated with the potential area, if the target person is in the current potential area, the target person will respond according to the notification information, for example, the target person will go out to pick up the item, Or confirm receipt of the information through the notification device feedback, so that the delivery robot no longer sends notification information. However, after the delivery robot sends out the notification information, if the target person has not received the confirmed receipt information beyond the preset waiting time (1 minute), it means that the delivery robot notification is not in place. At this time, the delivery robot still needs to continue Send a notification message. In this embodiment, if the response information of the target person is not obtained within the preset waiting period after sending the notification information, another area in the room is selected as a new potential area, and the new potential area is associated with the new potential area. The device is notified, and the notification information is resent to the target person until the response information of the target person is obtained. For example, the delivery robot sends notification information to the target person through the smart screen in the living room. However, after 1 minute, the response information of the target person has not been obtained, the target person has not gone out to pick up the item, and does not feedback that it is confirmed. information, it is determined that the target person is not in the current potential area, indicating that the distribution robot needs to use another area as a new potential area, and send notification information to the target person through the notification device associated with the new potential area until the notification information reaches the target figure.

In this embodiment, in order to avoid the delivery robot notification failure, after the delivery robot makes a notification and waits for a preset period of time, another area will be used as a new potential area and sent to the target person through the notification device associated with the new potential area. For the notification information, in this way, through multiple fault tolerance, the distribution robot can successfully convey the notification information to the target person.
