A dust removing apparatus is provided. An air blower performs air blowing in a space. A processor determines a first period in which a user is absent in the space. An air sucker collects dust by performing air suction from the space during the first period. A sensor measures an amount of dust collected by performing the air suction in the space during the first period. The processor determines whether or not a usage status of the dust removing apparatus in the space is appropriate based on a comparison between the measured amount of dust collected in the first period and an estimated amount of dust, which is estimated to be collected under a usage condition in which the user is absent in the space, and outputs information indicating whether or not a usage status of the dust removing apparatus is appropriate based on a result of the comparison.

Dust removing apparatus and notification method

A dust removing device includes: a dust position estimating unit which estimates a position of a dust area which is an area in which there is dust; an air blow determining unit which determines, based on the estimated position, an air blow mode which causes a predetermined airflow in the dust area; an air blower which performs an air blow in the determined air blow mode; and an air intake unit which takes in air from a space in which the air blow is performed. Note that the dust removing device may include an information storage which stores a control table in which air blow control information defining the air blow mode is written for a position of each dust area, and the air blow determining unit may determine, based on the control table, the air blow mode in accordance with the air blow control information corresponding to the estimated position of the dust area.

A communication unit receives spraying target information indicating a spray target. A spraying target detector detects the spray target indicated in the spraying target information in space. A spray control unit is a unit that performs ion-spraying processing on the spray target at a predetermined frequency. In the ion-spraying processing, the spray control unit determines a moving direction of an ion spraying apparatus from a current location to the detected spray target, and sprays ions on the spray target when a distance between the spray target and the ion spraying apparatus is within a first threshold value. A flight control unit controls a flight of the ion spraying apparatus in the moving direction.

An automatic cleaning system is configured by a single controlling apparatus, and a plurality of self-traveling cleaners. When the controlling apparatus has received from a self-traveling cleaner a dust location signal containing a dust location detected by the self-traveling cleaner, it writes the received information into a storage unit. When the controlling apparatus has received from one of the plurality of self-traveling cleaners, with respect to dust which is not removed by any self-traveling cleaner, a signal requesting a reservation of removing the dust, the controlling apparatus will not accept from any other of the plurality of self-traveling cleaners a signal requesting a reservation of removing the dust, until receiving from the one self-traveling cleaner information indicating that removing of the dust has been completed or information indicating that the removing of the dust has been stopped.

There is provided a preview distribution technique capable of realizing a flexible preview distribution between a distribution side and a user side. According to the technique, preview meta data describing reference destination information to the preview-constituting data of a plurality of types constituting the content preview is transmitted to a reception terminal. The reception terminal acquires the preview-constituting data by using the reference destination information described in the preview meta data and generates/reproduces the preview. Thus, when modifying the preview, the reception terminal can reproduce the preview after the modification, by acquiring only the data constituting the preview of the modified part, thereby easily modifying the data constituting the preview. That is, it is possible to perform a flexible preview distribution.
