PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suck and exhaust air to purify it while a device autonomously travels, and furthermore to generate ion in accordance with an operation state, surrounding environments, and the like to perform proper sterile filtration and rapid deodorization.SOLUTION: A self-propelled electronic device includes: a housing a travel control unit that controls rotation of wheels arranged on the bottom of the housing to move the housing a suction port that introduces outside air into the interior of the housing an exhaust port that releases the introduced air to the outside a blowing control unit that controls opening and closing of the suction port and the exhaust port, introduction of air from the suction port, and release of air from the exhaust port and a control unit. The control unit causes the suction port and the exhaust port to open by means of the blowing control unit while the housing is moved by means of the travel control unit, thereby causing air to be released.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】自律的に走行しながら、空気を吸気および排気して浄化し、さらに、動作状態および周囲の環境等に応じてイオンを発生することにより、適切な除菌および迅速な消臭を行うことを課題とする。【解決手段】筐体と、前記筐体下部に配置された車輪の回転を制御して筐体を移動させる走行制御部と、外部の空気を筐体内部へ導入する吸込口と、前記導入した空気を外部へ放出する排気口と、前記吸込口および排気口の開閉と、前記吸込口からの空気の導入および前記排気口からの空気の放出を制御する送風制御部と、制御部とを備え、前記制御部が、前記走行制御部によって前記筐体を移動させている間、前記送風制御部によって前記吸込口および排気口を開放させて、空気を放出させることを特徴とする自走式電子機器。【選択図】図1
