    Abstract: An autonomous vacuum cleaner network system comprises an autonomous vacuum cleaner and two terminal devices connected to the autonomous vacuum cleaner via a network. Using one of the terminal devices, a user inputs reservation information. The autonomous vacuum cleaner receives the input reservation information via a wireless LAN, and stores it, and further executes a self-diagnostic program immediately before a scheduled cleaning start time. If there is abnormality in the result of the self-diagnosis, the autonomous vacuum cleaner sends the result of the self-diagnosis as maintenance information to the other terminal device which is selected and assigned by the user as an addressed device. The autonomous vacuum cleaner network system makes it possible to set reservation information of the autonomous vacuum cleaner without requiring the user to go to the place where the autonomous vacuum cleaner is placed, and makes it possible to surely inform the user whether the autonomous vacuum cleaner can operate smoothly at the scheduled cleaning start time.

    Abstract: A robot 20 periodically moves along specified routes in a user's living space 1, collecting the ID data items of objects 40 existing in the living space 1. Each object 40 has a radio tag 10, which stores the ID data of the object 40. The robot 20 has a communications unit 26. While the robot 20 is moving, the unit 26 keeps transmitting an electric wave to which the radio tags 10 can respond. Upon receiving the electric wave, each radio tag 10 transmits the ID data of the object 40. The robot 20 receives the ID data and generates property data by adding, to the ID data, the data representing the time and position at which the radio tag 10 has transmitted the ID data. The property data shows what exists where and when. A data-managing apparatus 30 has a meta-data recording unit 31, which converts the property data to meta data. The meta data can be used in various types of data-processing apparatuses.
