1. A control method for an automatic cleaning equipment, which includes a mobile device and a self-propelled cleaning device, wherein the mobile device has a hotspot function and a mobile communication function, the control method comprising steps of:
transmitting, by the mobile device, an account name and a password of the hotspot function to the self-propelled cleaning device, and enabling the hotspot function of the mobile device;
using, by the self-propelled cleaning device, the account name and the password of the hotspot function to communicate with the mobile device using a wireless network technology through the hotspot function of the mobile device, and then communicating with a cloud server via a mobile communication technology through the mobile communication function of the mobile device;
communicating, by the mobile device, with the cloud server through the mobile communication technology;
receiving, by the mobile device, a pairing success signal from the cloud server, wherein the paring success signal indicates that both the mobile device and the self-propelled cleaning device are capable of communicating with the cloud server; and
transmitting, by the mobile device, a cleaning command signal to the self-propelled cleaning device through the cloud server, so as to control the self-propelled cleaning device such that the self-propelled cleaning device performs cleaning according to the cleaning command signal,
wherein the cleaning command signal is transmitted to the cloud server by the mobile device using the mobile communication technology, then received by the mobile device from the cloud server using the mobile communication technology, and then transmitted to the self-propelled cleaning device by the mobile device using the wireless network technology.
