  • Publication number: 20230054392
    Abstract: A method for operating a cleaning device includes selecting a cleaning activity to be performed by the cleaning device via a communications interface of the cleaning device or of an external terminal, implementing at least one device setting or application of the cleaning device for performing the cleaning activity, and performing the cleaning activity with the implemented device setting and/or device application. An instruction for steps to be chronologically implemented by the user, which contain a device setting and/or device application, is transmitted to the user as a function of the selected cleaning activity. A control and evaluation unit monitors the actual implementation of the device setting and/or device application corresponding to the step to be currently implemented, and transmits a note to the user when the device setting and/or device application actually implemented deviates from a predefined reference for the device setting and/or device application to be implemented.

  • Publication number: 20230019872
    Abstract: A self-propelled floor processing device with an evaluation unit, which is designed to navigate the floor processing device within an environment based on an area map and, during a movement, to determine a behavior parameter of the floor processing device and a movement path of the floor processing device. The evaluation unit is set up to analyze the behavior parameter and movement path, automatically determine a no-go area which the floor processing device must not traverse depending on the result of the analysis, and enter the determined no-go area in the area map or change a no-go area already entered in the area map.
