Drawings
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a main flow of a control method according to the present invention.
Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and structural, methodological, or functional changes made by one of ordinary skill in the art according to the embodiment are included in the scope of the present invention.
The invention provides a refrigerator which comprises a refrigerator body and a door body, wherein the refrigerator body is provided with a storage compartment, the door body is used for opening or closing the storage compartment, and a lighting device and a camera are arranged in the storage compartment. The refrigerator also comprises a control device, wherein the control device is used for controlling the work of the lighting device and the camera and is connected to a set external server and a mobile terminal; the control device is provided with a control panel and a control panel arranged on the box body and/or the door body.
Referring to fig. 1, the control method provided by the present invention mainly includes:
detecting the door closing action of a door body, controlling the lighting device to be kept open within a set first time period, and controlling the camera to shoot the interior of the storage compartment within the set first time period;
confirming that the pictures shot by the camera are successfully collected, and then identifying the collected pictures;
inputting food material information;
and generating a food material list corresponding to the refrigerator, transmitting the food material list to an external server for storage, and remotely acquiring the food material list through a mobile terminal associated to the refrigerator.
The number of the cameras is at least two, and the at least two cameras can be used for shooting pictures in different areas respectively and can also be used for shooting pictures in the same area at different angles. At least two cameras carry out signal transmission through the same port, and the port design requirement of the control panel is reduced. In the process of shooting pictures in the storage compartment, the control method comprises the steps of controlling at least two cameras to shoot in sequence and collecting the pictures shot by the cameras.
In this embodiment, the number of the cameras is two, and through testing, the time required for completing the sequential shooting by the two cameras is about 4s, so that the predetermined first time period is set to 4-8 s. Obviously, the given first duration can be extended or shortened according to the shooting time of the camera. Compared with the traditional refrigerator in which the door body is closed and the lighting device is closed, the invention delays the closing time point of the lighting device after detecting the door closing action of the door body, so as to shoot the interior of the storage compartment in time after the door is closed. Certainly, under the condition of good indoor environment lighting conditions, namely when the refrigerator is opened to carry out taking and placing operations, the lighting device can also be kept closed; and after detecting that the door body is closed, the lighting device is controlled to be opened, so that normal shooting can be carried out after the door body is closed.
The step of confirming that the picture taken by the camera is successfully acquired comprises the following steps: judging whether the picture acquisition is successful;
if yes, automatically identifying the acquired picture;
if not, the lighting device is controlled to be kept on within a set second time length, and the camera is controlled to shoot the interior of the storage compartment within the set second time length, wherein the set second time length is consistent with the set first time length. Of course, if only the pictures of the respective cameras are not successfully collected, the predetermined second time period can be reduced according to actual requirements.
The control method also comprises the step of automatically lightening the control panel when detecting that the door body is closed; and controlling the control panel to display a first preset pattern in the picture acquisition process, and displaying the picture and the recognition result after the picture recognition is finished. In other embodiments of the present invention, the collected images and the recognition results may also be directly transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the subsequent operations are performed on the mobile terminal.
Here, the first preset pattern may be a text, a geometric figure, or a dynamic picture; in the process of identifying the picture, the user can also perform operations such as 'cancelling identification', 'refreshing', and the like, wherein 'refreshing' only refers to re-identifying the picture which is shot and collected.
The control method also comprises the step of judging whether the user operates the control panel within a set third time length after the identification is finished;
if yes, executing user operation;
if not, the food material information is automatically input, and if the set third duration is set to 5s, that is, when no operation of the user is sensed within 5s after the control panel displays the picture and the recognition result, the recognized food material is automatically input and the corresponding food material information is set. At this stage, the interface of the control panel is often provided with option keys such as "one-key entry", "return", and the like, so as to facilitate the user operation.
The control method further comprises confirming whether the food material list is generated. The food material list includes at least one of the food material information, a network address of the refrigerator, and a device number of the refrigerator, and is preferably stored in an external server according to a mac (media Access Control address) address of the refrigerator. The food material information comprises food material names, food material quantities, unit heat, storage time, reminding time and the like, and is arranged and edited according to a set rule when a food material list is generated, if relevant food material information of each food material is separated by a negative value and each food material passes through the negative value; or, separate editing. In practical application, when a user opens an APP installed on a mobile terminal, a corresponding food material list can be obtained through a network.
In conclusion, according to the control method and the refrigerator, the pictures in the storage room are shot in time after the door is closed, and the pictures are identified after the pictures are successfully collected, so that the process is more convenient and reliable, and the identification result is more accurate; the food material list is stored through the external server, the storage requirement of the refrigerator equipment is reduced, data are safer, a user can conveniently obtain the food material list of the corresponding refrigerator from the external server through the mobile terminal, follow-up purchase is conducted, and user experience is improved.
