     Example 1 
       FIG. 1  shows a simulation intelligent electric toy car with intelligent path planning. As shown in  FIG. 1 , the simulation intelligent electric toy car  10  includes a positioning module  11 , a marking module  12 , a planning module  13 , an acquiring module  14 , a processing module  15 , a communication module  16 , a setting module  17 , a displacement mechanism  18 , a cleaning mechanism  19 , a charging module  110  and a calculation module  111 . 
     The positioning module  11  is configured to mark elevator position coordinates and home door position coordinates in the same coordinate system, and drive the toy car  10  to automatically travel from the home door to the elevator and travel from the elevator to the home door according to the elevator position coordinates and the home door position coordinates. The toy car can automatically be driven inside the elevator for easy use. Parents do not need to carry the toy car into the elevator by manpower. 
     The marking module  12  is configured to mark coordinates of a specific location according to an indication of the user. The planning module is configured to plan a specific path according to coordinates of the specific location, and drive the toy car to automatically travel along the specific path. It can make the toy car automatically travel along the preset road routing, which is easy to operate and easy for parents to take care of children. 
     Parents can plan specific routes along specific locations such as pavilions in the park, so that the toy car can automatically travel along the specific path, greatly reducing the human resources required for parents to supervise the toy car, providing parents with extreme great convenience. 
     The acquiring module  14  is configured to acquire, by using a camera, an object that which the toy car passes through car during driving. The processing module  15  is configured to analyze the object to obtain a name and related content of the object, and convert the related content into an audio format for playing. It can make the toy car be able to play the name and related content of the object in the street to children, which can enable children intuitively and specifically acquire knowledge and entertain. 
     When the child uses the toy car, the toy car can automatically broadcast information related to the scenery along the way. For example, when the toy car passes through the flower bed, the toy car can automatically recognize the name of the flower in the flower bed and play it out so that the child can get an intuitive understanding. 
     The communication module  16  is configured to communicate with a smart terminal of the user. The communication module is configured to implement a video call with a driver of the toy car through a camera disposed in the toy car and a camera of the smart terminal, which allows parents to follow the toy car without going close, or to talk to children. 
     The communication module  16  is configured to send location information of the smart terminal to the toy car. The setting module  17  is configured to preset a relative position, wherein the toy car moves together with the smart terminal, and maintains the relative position with the smart terminal, which enables the toy cars to follow the parent&#39;s movement and maintain a preset relative position with the parents. 
     In order to facilitate the parents to take care of the children, the position of the toy car should be located in front of the parents. For example, the relative position of the toy car can be preset to be 2 meters ahead of the smart terminal, so that the toy car can automatically follow the parent movement without manual operation, and keep 2 meters in front of the parents so parents can take care of the children. 
     The displacement mechanism  18  is configured to drive the toy car to be vertically or horizontally displaced by a predetermined amplitude, which makes the toy cars play the role of “rocking car” or cradle for comforting children. 
     The displacement mechanism  18  drives the vertical or horizontal displacement of the toy car so that the toy car can provide a variety of entertainment modes like the action of a “rocking car” or the action of a cradle. 
     As for the cleaning mechanism, a chassis of the toy car is provided with an engaging opening, configured to engage with a rag. The displacement mechanism  19  is configured to drive the cleaning mechanism to be displaced such that the cleaning mechanism fits the ground. When the toy car encounters an obstacle during driving, it automatically turns to 90 degrees so that the toy car can be used to clean the ground. 
     The charging module  110  is configured to detect power of the toy car, and drive the toy car to a preset charging port for charging according the position coordinate of the preset charging port when the power of the toy car is lower than a preset value, which enables the toy cars to automatically charge. 
     The calculation module  111  is configured to plan a travel route according to a destination set by the user, calculate a required power according to the travel route, detect a remaining power of the toy car, and send a reminder message to the smart terminal if the required power is greater than or equal to the remaining power of the toy car. 
     When the user sets the destination to “Blue Sky Kindergarten”, the calculation module  111  can query the kindergarten address through the network, and plan a driving route according to the address. If various driving routes are available for the user to select, the required power electricity is calculated according to the driving route. The required power electricity should be reasonably reserved for a certain margin. The round-trip power electricity is calculated. The remaining power electricity of the toy car is detected. When the required power electricity is greater than or equal to the remaining power electricity of the toy car, a prompt message is sent to the smart terminal to avoid the trouble of lack of power electricity in the middle. 
     For the simulation intelligent electric toy car with intelligent path planning of present invention, the internet connection module is configured to establish a connection with other smart home device, and send an operation instruction to the other smart home device when the toy car is within a predetermined distance from the home door position, so that the other smart home device executes the operation instruction. 
     For example, in the case where the child needs to take the medicine immediately, the toy car can send an operation instruction to the intelligent heating device before the home is approached, so that the device automatically completes the heating of the medicine, and the child can take it at home to facilitate life.
