Abstract
A method for generating an area map for a floor processing device, wherein first and second floor processing devices detect feature data of an environment and process them into first and second area maps. The first floor processing device identifies an object based on a unique identifier of the object as an anchor point and stores relative positional information of the anchor point in a coordinate system of the first area map. The second floor processing device recognizes the same object as an anchor point known to the second floor processing device, and stores relative positional information of the anchor point in a coordinate system of the second area map. The first and second area maps are combined into a common global area map based on the relative positional information of the anchor point contained therein, and the unique identifier is a code that clearly identifies the object.
