Application: Method and system for connection handover from telepresence robot to mobile office (Patent ID: US20230276334A1)
Toyota Motor Corp has filed a patent for a telepresence robot that can monitor the movement of individuals and transfer a remote connection to a device in an office space when a tracked individual enters that space. The telepresence robot includes a controller that establishes a remote connection with a remote user and tracks the movement of a tracked individual. When the tracked individual enters an office space, the controller identifies the office space and transfers the connection with the remote user to a device in that office space. The transfer of the connection can be done by ending the connection between the remote user and the telepresence robot and establishing a connection between the remote user and the device in the office space.
The telepresence robot is capable of receiving audio and video from the remote user and outputting the audio through a speaker and displaying the video on a screen. It can also receive video and audio captured by a camera and microphone, respectively, and transfer them to the remote user. The controller can receive motion control commands from the remote user and move the telepresence robot accordingly. Additionally, the controller can autonomously control the movement of the telepresence robot based on the movement of the tracked individual.
The patent also describes a method for implementing the telepresence robot. After establishing a remote connection between the telepresence robot and a remote user, the method involves monitoring the movement of a tracked individual and detecting when the tracked individual enters an office space. Upon determination that the tracked individual has entered the office space, the method includes identifying the office space and transferring the connection with the remote user to a device in the office space. The method can also involve receiving audio and video from the remote user, outputting the audio through a speaker, and displaying the video on a screen. It can further include receiving motion control commands from the remote user and causing the telepresence robot to move accordingly. The method also covers autonomously controlling the movement of the telepresence robot based on the movement of the tracked individual.
