However, the current robot equipment can only be operated to work in areas on the same plane to provide specific functions. As specific requirements increase, if the robot equipment is required to work in areas on different floor planes, such requirement cannot be satisfied because the current robot equipment cannot automatically move between different floor planes. In view of the above, solutions of several embodiments will be presented below.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention provides an interactive control method of robot equipment and elevator equipment, which can enable the robot equipment to realize the function of automatically moving into and out of the elevator equipment.

An interactive control method of robot equipment and elevator equipment of the invention includes the following steps. When the robot equipment is located outside the elevator equipment, the robot equipment is connected to a first control module disposed outside the elevator equipment to call, by the first control module, an elevator car of the elevator equipment.

FIG. 4 is a schematic top view showing the robot equipment entering the elevator car according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the first control module 210 may be disposed, for example, at a location outside the elevator equipment 220 shown in FIG. 4, and the second control module 310 may be disposed, for example, at a location inside the elevator car 320 shown in FIG. 4. Moreover, the inside of the elevator car 320 further includes augmented reality (AR) labels 323 and 324 and a floor display panel 325. The robot equipment 100 moves, for example, on a plane formed by a horizontal direction X and a horizontal direction Y.

The AR label 324 and the floor display panel 325 are located, for example, on another car inner wall parallel to a plane formed by the horizontal direction Y and the vertical direction Z.

In the present embodiment, when the robot equipment 100 moves into the elevator car 320, the robot equipment 100 communicates with the wireless communication device 312 of the second control module 310 through the second wireless communication device 130 to provide relevant control commands to the controller 311 of the second control module 310, so that the controller 311 correspondingly operates the opening/closing button module 321 and the floor button module 322 of the elevator car 320. It is noted that if the opening/closing button module 321 includes the opening button and the closing button of the elevator, the controller 311 may enable the opening button or the closing button through the relay 313, the boost and voltage regulator circuit 314, and the cable module 315 to keep an elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 open or closed.

In addition, the second control module 310 of the present embodiment is disposed inside the elevator car 320 and is electrically connected to relevant elevator control buttons of the elevator car 320 in a plug-in manner. The invention does not specifically limit the specific configuration location of the second control module 310 inside the elevator car 320.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an interactive control method according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the interactive control method of the present embodiment may be applied to the devices and equipment of the embodiments of FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. In step S401, the robot equipment 100 is connected to the first control module 210 disposed outside the elevator equipment 220 through the first wireless communication device 120 to wirelessly communicate with and control the first control module 210. In step S402, the robot equipment 100 controls the first control module 210, and enables the direction button module 221 of the elevator equipment 220 through the first control module 210 to call the elevator car 320 of the elevator equipment 220. In step S403, the first control module 210 determines whether the elevator car 320 arrives at a current floor. For example, the first control module 210 may effectively determine whether the elevator car 320 arrives at the current floor by determining whether the direction button module 221 is off. If not, the first control module 210 performs step S403 again to continue the determination. If yes, the first control module 210 performs step S404 to return an arrival signal to the robot equipment 100. In step S405, the robot equipment 100 is connected to the second control module 310 disposed inside the elevator car 320. In an embodiment, when the robot equipment 100 is successfully connected to the second control module 310, the connection with the first control module 210 may be disconnected or may be maintained until it is automatically disconnected, and the invention is not limited thereto.

In step S406, the robot equipment 100 outputs a control command to the second control module 310 to control the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 to open through the second control module 310. In step S407, the robot equipment 100 obtains a current elevator door image of the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140 to determine whether the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 is fully opened. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S407 again to continue the determination. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S408 to obtain a current in-car image of the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140, and further determine whether an obstacle is present within a working range 327 in the elevator car 320, and the obstacle may be, for example, a person or an object. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S409 and step S412 to wait for the next arrival of the elevator car 320. In other words, if there is no space in the elevator car 320, the robot equipment 100 can wait for the next elevator. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S410 to drive the robot equipment 100 to move into the elevator car 320.

In step S411, the robot equipment 100 detects the AR label 323 inside the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140, so that the processor 110 can establish a corresponding spatial model inside the elevator car 320 and correspondingly drive and adjust the position or angle of the robot equipment 100. Specifically, according to the AR label 323, the robot equipment 100 may calculate the corresponding posture information and position information of the AR label 323 in the image taken by the image detection device 140. Next, according to the posture information and the position information, the robot equipment 100 estimates the coordinate data of the working range 327 in the image obtained by the image detection device 140. Finally, the robot equipment 100 may determine the working range 327 inside the elevator car 320 according to the coordinate data. It is noted that the AR label 323 is configured to allow the robot equipment 100 to obtain the position and size of the working range 327. Based on the pixel size, position, and posture of the AR label 323 (of which the actual size is known) shown in the image, the posture information and position information of the AR label 323 in the real world relative to the robot equipment 100 is calculated according to the camera imaging principle, and at the same time, the coordinate data of the working range 327 in the image is estimated, so that the robot equipment 100 can obtain the actual position and actual size of the working range 327 inside the elevator car 320 according to the above data.

In step S412, when the robot equipment 100 finishes step S411, the robot equipment 100 may first enable the floor button module 322 through the second control module 310, and then stop enabling the opening/closing button module 321 of the elevator car 320 to stop controlling the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 to open, so that the elevator car 320 can move toward the target floor according to the selection result of the floor button module 322. Therefore, the interactive control method of the present embodiment may enable the robot equipment 100 to realize the function of automatically taking the elevator.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of determination on whether the elevator door is open according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the process of determining whether the elevator door 326 is open in the present embodiment may be the detailed implementation method of step S407 of FIG. 5. In step S501, the processor 110 of the robot equipment 100 reads a pre-stored elevator door gap template image and obtains a current elevator door gap image (which comes from the current elevator door image) of the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140. In step S502, the processor 110 of the robot equipment 100 matches the current elevator door gap image and the elevator door gap template image to identify whether the current elevator door gap of the elevator car 320 is greater than a predetermined threshold value. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S502 again to continue the identification. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S504 to determine that the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 has been opened. In the present embodiment, the predetermined threshold value may be 70% or 80% of a horizontal length of the elevator door 326, or may be a gap ratio of the elevator door 326 which at least can accommodate the robot equipment 100 to pass. Therefore, the process of the present embodiment may enable the robot equipment 100 to effectively determine whether the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 has been opened to a sufficient width to allow the robot equipment 100 to move into the elevator car 320.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of controlling the robot equipment to move into the elevator car according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the process of controlling the robot equipment 100 to move into the elevator car 320 of the present embodiment may be the detailed implementation method of step S408 of FIG. 5. In step S601, the robot equipment 100 detects the AR label 323 inside the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140. In step S602, the robot equipment 100 performs object recognition on the inside the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140. In step S603, the processor 110 of the robot equipment 100 determines whether the AR label 323 is detected. If not, it means that there is a person or an object in the elevator car 320 that blocks the AR label 323, so the robot equipment 100 performs step S607. If yes, the processor 110 of the robot equipment 100 estimates the working range 327 according to the AR label 323.

In step S605, the robot equipment 100 determines whether an obstacle is present within the working range 327 through the previous object recognition. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S609 to cause the processor 110 to issue an elevator entry command. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S606 to further detect whether there is still space inside the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S610 to wait for the next arrival of the elevator car 320. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S607. In step S607, the processor 110 of the robot equipment 100 determines whether a voice message has been played. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S608 to play the voice message through a voice device and then performs step S601 again. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S610 to wait for the next arrival of the elevator car 320.

In other words, the robot equipment 100 of the present embodiment may emit a one-time voice prompt to prompt the obstacle within the working range 327. If the obstacle is a person, the person may make room for the robot equipment 100 according to the voice prompt. On the other hand, when the obstacle is an object, or the person does not want to make room for the robot equipment 100, after issuing the one-time voice prompt, if the robot equipment 100 determines that the space of the working range 327 is still occupied, the robot equipment 100 will wait for the next elevator car 320. Therefore, the process of the present embodiment may effectively ensure that the robot equipment 100 can properly enter the elevator car 320.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of controlling the robot equipment to move out of the elevator car according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, the interactive control method of the present embodiment may be applied to the devices and equipment of the embodiments of FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. In step S701, after the robot equipment 100 enters the elevator car 320 (e.g., following step S412 of FIG. 4), the robot equipment 100 turns to the floor display panel 325 of the elevator car 320. In step S702, the robot equipment 100 detects the AR label 324 inside the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140 to adjust the robot equipment 100 to face the floor display panel 325 of the elevator car 320 according to the AR label 324 inside the elevator car 320. In step S703, the robot equipment 100 determines through the image detection device 140 whether the robot equipment 100 is properly oriented toward the floor display panel 325. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S701 again to continue to adjust the position and angle of the robot equipment 100. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S704. It is noted that the AR label 324 serves as a position basis for turning the robot equipment 100, so that the image detection device 140 of the robot equipment 100 can capture an image and perform recognition toward the floor display panel 325. Also, since the robot equipment 100 of the present embodiment turns within the working range 327, the length and the width of the working range 327 of the present embodiment are greater than or equal to the length of the diagonal line of the robot equipment 100.

In step S704, the robot equipment 100 remotely controls the second control module 310 to enable the floor button module through the second wireless communication device 130 to control the elevator car 320 to move toward the target floor. In step S705, the robot equipment 100 captures an image of the floor display panel 325 through the image detection device 140 to obtain a current image of the floor display panel 325. In step S706, the processor 110 of the robot equipment 100 analyzes the image to recognize the elevator floor number displayed by the floor display panel 325. In step S707, the processor 110 of the robot equipment 100 determines whether the elevator car 320 arrives at the target floor. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S705 again to continue the determination. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S708.

In step S708, the robot equipment 100 turns to the elevator door. In step S709, the robot equipment 100 obtains a current elevator door image of the elevator car 320 through the image detection device 140 to determine whether the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 is fully opened. If not, the robot equipment 100 performs step S709 again to continue the determination. If yes, the robot equipment 100 performs step S710 to control the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 to remain opened through the second control module 310. It is noted that the process of FIG. 6 may also be applied to step S709 of the present embodiment. Next, in step S711, the robot equipment 100 moves toward outside the elevator car 320. In step S712, after the robot equipment 100 completely leaves the elevator car 320, the robot equipment 100 stops controlling the elevator door 326 of the elevator car 320 to open. Therefore, the process of the present embodiment may enable the robot equipment 100 to realize the function of automatically moving out of the elevator.

In summary of the above, in the interactive control method of the robot equipment and the elevator equipment of the invention, the robot equipment may automatically call the elevator car of the elevator equipment, correspondingly control the elevator door of the elevator car to open or close, and drive the robot equipment to properly move into and out of the elevator car based on image detection. Moreover, the interactive control method of the robot equipment and the elevator equipment of the invention can further effectively determine whether an obstacle is present in the elevator car and emit a voice prompt, which enhances the chance and efficiency for the robot equipment to properly move into and out of the elevator car.
