Abstract: An apparatus in an illustrative embodiment comprises at least one processing device configured to maintain a cyclic array of storage object queues each associated with one of a set of two or more different time intervals. The at least one processing device is also configured to identify a storage object having an associated expiration time and to select, for the identified storage object, one of the storage object queues in the cyclic array based at least in part on its associated expiration time. The at least one processing device is further configured to insert the identified storage object into the selected storage object queue, and to process, in response to a designated timer trigger event corresponding to expiration of a given one of the time intervals, storage objects in a given one of the storage object queues in the cyclic array associated with the given time interval.

Abstract: A method of operating an autonomous cleaning robot includes receiving, at a handheld computing device, a first input representing a first set of cleaning schedule parameters for a first cleaning schedule for the autonomous cleaning robot, the first cleaning schedule corresponding to a first area. The method includes presenting, on a display of the handheld computing device, the first cleaning schedule. The method includes receiving, at the handheld computing device, a second input representing a second set of cleaning schedule parameters for a second cleaning schedule for the autonomous cleaning robot, the second cleaning schedule corresponding to a second area different from the first area. The method includes presenting, on the display, the first and second cleaning schedules, and initiating a transmission to the autonomous cleaning robot, based on the first or second cleaning schedules, the transmission including data for causing the robot to initiate a cleaning mission.
