This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,141.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept presents an advanced vacuum cleaner control and maintenance system that optimizes suction force, provides customized cleaning information, and schedules maintenance for improved cleaning efficiency and reduced downtime.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Vacuum cleaner and control method thereof,' has limitations in optimizing suction force, providing real-time maintenance notifications, and adapting to different floor types. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a smart device application, server management, and advanced sensor integration.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The system comprises a vacuum cleaner with a driver and cleaning module, a smart device with an application, and a server for managing the application. The system monitors usage time information, load current, and floor type to optimize suction force, provide customized cleaning information, and schedule maintenance. The application receives user inputs for preferred cleaning modes, such as quiet, eco, or turbo modes, and adjusts the vacuum cleaner's operation accordingly. The maintenance scheduling module uses usage time information to notify users when the cleaning module requires maintenance.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a smart device application and server management, enabling real-time customization and optimization of the vacuum cleaner's operation. The inventive concept's novelty lies in its ability to adapt to different floor types, monitor load current, and schedule maintenance, which are not addressed in the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include integrating the system with other smart home devices, using artificial intelligence to predict maintenance needs, or incorporating additional sensors to detect other environmental factors. Variations may include adapting the system for use with different types of cleaning modules or vacuum cleaner designs.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced vacuum cleaner control and maintenance system has significant commercial potential in the consumer electronics and cleaning industries, particularly in the growing market for smart home devices. The system's ability to optimize suction force, reduce downtime, and provide customized cleaning information can improve user satisfaction and increase sales.
