Abstract

An intellectual refrigerator combining with a portable electric device is present. The refrigerator has an image unit, a wireless transmitting unit and a micro control unit (MCU) therein. The image unit is used to monitor or fetch image inside a case of the refrigerator. The MCU connects to the image unit and the wireless transmitting unit. The refrigerator further includes a connecting socket arranged on an outer surface of the case, and the connecting socket includes a first transmitting interface electrically connecting to the MCU. When the electric device is plugged in the socket, the refrigerator connects the MCU with the electric device physically via the first connecting interface. When the electric device is removed from the socket, the refrigerator automatically turns to connect the MCU with the electric device wirelessly via the wireless transmitting unit.

Description

201217731 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 [0001] 本發明係有關於冰箱,尤其更有關於可與電子裝置結合 使用的智慧型冰箱。 【先前彳支術】 [0002] 冰箱為一種可於箱體内部製冷,用以冷藏或冷凍食品之 電子設備。而因其實用性與便利性,使得冰箱之運用非 常地廣泛,無論是市場或是家庭,幾乎都無法排除冰箱 的使用。 [0003] 然而,隨著科技的進步以及電子產業的發展,各式各樣 智慧型的電子設備層出不窮。為了更方便使用者的運用 ,市場上便有了智慧型冰箱的誕生。例如中華民國專利 案號M3641 97號的新型專利,即揭露了一種RFID智慧型 冰箱。該冰箱具有複數附著於容器表面的電子標籤、一 用以讀寫電子標籤之數位資訊的辨識器,及與該辨識器 連接的人機介面。並且該冰箱外表面設置有一顯示各容 器之資訊的螢幕,以及一將資訊寫入電子標籤的鍵盤。 [0004] 如上所述,該冰箱係需於原廠製造時,即將該螢幕與該 鍵盤設置於該冰箱之外表面,並與該辨識器及該人機介 面連接。如此一來,將大大提昇該冰箱的製造成本。然 而,價錢太過於昂貴,正是消費者不願意購買智慧型冰 箱,導致智慧型冰箱迄今仍難以普及的最大主因。 [0005] 再例如中國專利案號CN1 0 1 202935號的發明專利,即揭 露了一種遠程操作和監控電冰箱的方法及實現該方法的 智能電冰箱。該方法主要係在冰箱上設置可與個人通信 099135506 表單編號 A0101 第 4 頁/共 19 頁 0992062063-0 201217731 [0006] Ο [0007] [0008] 〇 終端進行通信的通信裝置;採集冰箱的各項物理參數並 通過該通信裝置發送到個人通信終端顯示;以及,通過 個人通信終端發送信號到該通信裝置對冰箱進行控制。 然而,该方法主要係通過全球行動通訊系統(G1〇bal201217731 VI. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly to a smart refrigerator that can be used in combination with an electronic device. [Previous sputum] [0002] The refrigerator is an electronic device that can be used to refrigerate or freeze food inside the cabinet. Due to its practicability and convenience, the use of refrigerators is very extensive, and it is almost impossible to eliminate the use of refrigerators in the market or in the home. [0003] However, with the advancement of technology and the development of the electronics industry, a variety of intelligent electronic devices are emerging. In order to make it easier for users to use, there is a smart refrigerator in the market. For example, the new patent of the Republic of China Patent No. M3641 97 discloses an RFID smart refrigerator. The refrigerator has a plurality of electronic tags attached to the surface of the container, an identifier for reading and writing digital information of the electronic tag, and a human-machine interface connected to the identifier. And the outer surface of the refrigerator is provided with a screen for displaying information of each container, and a keyboard for writing information to the electronic tag. [0004] As described above, when the refrigerator is manufactured in the original factory, the screen and the keyboard are disposed on the outer surface of the refrigerator, and are connected to the identifier and the human machine interface. As a result, the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator will be greatly increased. However, the price is too expensive, which is the biggest reason why consumers are not willing to buy smart ice boxes, which has made smart refrigerators still difficult to popularize. Further, for example, the invention patent of the Chinese Patent No. CN1 0 1 202935 discloses a method of remotely operating and monitoring a refrigerator and a smart refrigerator implementing the same. The method is mainly set on the refrigerator to communicate with a personal 099135506 Form No. A0101 Page 4 / 19 pages 0992062063-0 201217731 [0006] [0007] [0008] Communication device for communication with the terminal; collecting various refrigerators The physical parameters are transmitted to the personal communication terminal for display by the communication device; and the personal communication terminal transmits a signal to the communication device to control the refrigerator. However, this method is mainly through the Global System for Mobile Communications (G1〇bal

System of Mobile Communications, GSM)或通用封 包無線服務(General Packet Radio Service,GPRs) 等通信網路來進行資料的傳輸,不但傳輸速率相當緩慢 ,且使用者還可能需要支出高額的傳輸費用。並且,即 使使用者位於冰箱附近,但仍需使用通信網路來進行資 料的傳輸’實在相當的浪.費.且不實用 【發明内容】System of Mobile Communications (GSM) or General Packet Radio Service (GPRs) and other communication networks for data transmission, not only the transmission rate is quite slow, but users may also need to spend high transmission costs. Moreover, even if the user is located near the refrigerator, it is still necessary to use a communication network to transmit the data. It is quite a wave. It is not practical.
