Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a robot cleaner system and a method of controlling a robot cleaner. When cleaning start information is received, a control unit (17) of the robot cleaner scans one cleaning area (30), thus calculating a cleaning time. The control unit performs cleaning of the cleaning area. When a signal transmitted from a transmission device (20) is received, the control unit detects which transmitter transmitted the signal. The control unit determines whether a time for which a signal transmitted from a same transmitter has been received is equal to or longer than a preset period. If the time is shorter than the preset period, the control unit continuously performs cleaning. If the time for which the transmitted signal has been received is equal to or longer than the preset period, the control unit moves the robot cleaner until a signal transmitted from another transmitter is received.
