Abstract

A method for processing, in particular cleaning, a floor of a room using an automatically movable processing device. A map of the room is generated and displayed to a user of the processing device, and the user can select at least one room sub-region in which the processing device is to process or refrain from processing the floor in the generated map. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for processing a floor, wherein the generated map of the room is easier to read for the user. This is achieved in that the map of the room is generated from three-dimensional coordinates of a world coordinate system, each point of a plurality of points of the room and/or of an obstacle arranged in the room being assigned to a three-dimensional coordinate within the world coordinates system.
