Infocuum is a wireless cleaner that can effectively show the user the blind spot when cleaning. Existing users had to endure a lot of inconveniences, such as bending their backs or moving furniture or appliances to clean gaps behind the obstacles. Also, when the user uses the vacuum cleaner, the dust on the floor is not visible due to the distance between the floor and the user, so the cleaning is not properly performed. To solve this problem, the Infocuum has a wide-angle lens camcorder attached to the head of the vacuum cleaner. So, in order for the user to see the blind spot effectively, they record it in real time and send it to the display of the handle. The vacuum rod also has a built-in gyro sensor that detects the inclination of the Infocuum and moves the display in response to the user's behavior and vision. During the cleaning, if the light sensor on the head recognizes the dark environment, it turns on the LED so that the dark side can be seen effectively. With this structure, Infocuum enables users to clean reliably and quickly.
