Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the refrigerator includes:
a cabinet 10 serving as a support structure of the refrigerator and having a plurality of storage compartments therein;
the reader-writer 20 comprises a reader-writer host and a plurality of antennas, wherein the reader-writer 20 transmits or receives radio frequency signals to the RFID tags through the antennas so that the RFID tags calculate the signal intensity and return the signal intensity to the reader-writer host through the antennas; the RFID tag comprises a plurality of fixed tags and at least one movable tag, the fixed tags are electronic tags installed in preset positions of the storage room, and the movable tags are electronic tags bound with food materials;
the controller 30 is configured to:
responding to the positioning operation of the target food material, and receiving a data signal sent by the reader-writer host; wherein the data signal comprises: the reference signal intensity of each fixed tag detected by the antenna and the mobile signal intensity of a target mobile tag corresponding to the target food material;
calculating a reference distance from the antenna to each fixed tag according to the reference signal strength, and calculating a moving distance from the antenna to the moving tag according to the moving signal strength;
obtaining a distance difference value between the reference distance and the moving distance corresponding to the same antenna;
integrating the fixed tags corresponding to the reference distances of which the distance difference values meet the preset difference value threshold value into a fixed tag set, and obtaining the fixed tag sets corresponding to the number of the antennas until all the antennas are obtained;
acquiring an intersection of the fixed label sets to obtain a target fixed label;
and determining the position of the target food material according to the position of the target fixed tag.
It should be noted that the reader/writer 20 adopted in the embodiment of the present invention includes a reader/writer host and a plurality of antennas, the reader/writer host is used as a transmission medium for the antennas and the controller 30, and transmits or receives a radio frequency signal to the RFID tag through the antennas, so that the RFID tag calculates the signal strength and returns the signal strength to the antennas, the antennas then transmit the signal strength to the reader/writer host, and the reader/writer host then transmits the signal strength to the controller.
It can be understood that the more the number of the antennas and the fixed tags is, the more accurate the positioning is, and the specific number can be determined according to the layout situation of the internal structure of the refrigerator. The antenna can be arranged on 8 top corners, 12 edges and 6 surfaces of the storage space of the refrigerator, and staggered distribution is achieved. The fixed labels are placed on 4 top corners, 4 edges and planes of the object placing plate, and staggered distribution is achieved. Through the reasonable arrangement of the positions of the antennas and the fixed tags, the connection line of each antenna and each fixed tag can cover most of the storage space of the refrigerator. It will be understood that the term "connecting line" as used herein is not a true line, but rather is an imaginary line connecting an antenna to a fixed tag. After any antenna and all the fixed labels are connected, a plurality of connecting lines with different lengths and directions are formed in the storage space of the refrigerator.
When the food material with the mobile tag is placed on the storage board of the refrigerator, the food material can cut off some connecting lines, namely the food material is shielded between a certain antenna and a certain fixed tag. Meanwhile, the electronic tag of the food material and each antenna form a plurality of new connecting lines. When another food material is put into the refrigerator, the food material can form shielding between some antennas and fixed tags, and can also form shielding between the movable tags of the previous food material and some antennas.
The external antenna is arranged on the outer surface of the refrigerator door body, when a user binds/unbinds food materials and the mobile tag, the user firstly swipes the card on the external antenna by the mobile tag, and then inputs the information of the food materials to bind the mobile tag.
Specifically, when a user wants to obtain a position of a target food material, a name of the target food material may be input on a human-computer interaction module (for example, a display screen) of a refrigerator, and at this time, the controller responds to a target food material positioning operation, receives a data signal sent by the reader-writer host, and obtains, from the data signal, reference signal strengths of the fixed tags detected by the antenna and mobile signal strengths of the target mobile tags corresponding to the target food material.
Specifically, after the mobile signal strength is obtained, a moving distance from the antenna to the mobile tag is calculated according to the mobile signal strength, where the moving distance may be represented as: d-f-1, D-f-2 and D-f-3 …. D-f-1 means the distance between the target food material f (mobile tag) and the antenna No. 1.
Optionally, the calculating a moving distance from the antenna to the mobile tag according to the moving signal strength includes:
calculating the moving distance from the antenna to the mobile tag according to the moving distance, the environment attenuation factor and the unit signal strength and a preset tag distance calculation strategy, and satisfying the following formula:
d＝10^((abs(rssi)-A)/(10*n))；
wherein d represents the moving distance (unit: meter); rssi represents the mobile signal strength; a represents the signal strength when the transmitting end and the receiving end are separated by 1 meter, namely the mobile signal strength; n represents an environmental attenuation factor and is a constant.
Specifically, the reference distance from the antenna to each of the fixed tags is calculated according to the reference signal strength, and the calculation mode is the same as the calculation mode of the moving distance, which is not described herein again. The reference distance is expressed as: D-X-Y, which is the reference distance from the fixed tag No. X to the antenna No. Y, wherein the reference distance from each antenna to each fixed tag can be recorded as an array, for example: d-1 ═ D-1-1, D-2-1, D-3-1 … ], D-2 ═ D-1-2, D-2-2, D-3-2 … ], … ….
After the moving distance and the reference distance are obtained, the distance difference between the reference distance and the moving distance corresponding to the same antenna is obtained, for example, the moving distance D-f-1 from the antenna 1 to the moving tag of the target food material is compared with the data of the reference distance D-1 array from the antenna 1 to each fixed tag one by one, and the distance difference is calculated.
Specifically, data with similar distances are selected to form a new array, and at this time, the fixed labels corresponding to the reference distances meeting the distance difference value meeting the preset difference value threshold are integrated into a fixed label set. For example: d-1 ═ D-2-1, D-3-1, D-5-1, D-8-1], and then the data in the D-1' data is converted into a corresponding fixed tag set D-1 ═ 2,3,5,8], at this time, it can be considered that the fixed tag of the data number in the array of the fixed tag set D-1 "is close to the position of the moving tag of the target food material. In the same way, other fixed label sets D-2 ', D-3 ', and D-4 ' are obtained by the same method.
Specifically, the fixed tag sets are intersected, for example, numbers in the D-1 ", D-2", D-3 "… arrays are intersected to obtain a new array, for example, D ═ 2] or D ═ 2,3, when the target fixed tag is number 2, or numbers 2 and 3.
Specifically, the determining the position of the target food material according to the position of the target fixed tag includes:
when the target fixed tag is 1, taking the position of the target fixed tag as the position of the target food material;
when the target fixed tags are larger than 1 and smaller than a preset number threshold, taking the middle position of the target fixed tags as the position of the target food material;
and when the target fixed tags are larger than or equal to the preset number threshold, re-responding to the positioning operation of the target food materials.
Illustratively, the number threshold is 4. When D is equal to [2], taking the position of the target fixed tag 2 as the position of the target food material; when D is [2,3], taking the middle position of the target fixed tags 2 and 3 as the position of the target food material; when D ═ 2,3,4], the target fixed tag 3 is taken as the position of the target food material, and when D ═ 2,3,4,5], because the obtained target fixed tags are more and the data is inaccurate, the re-measurement is needed at this time.
Further, after the position of the target food material is obtained, the position of the target food material is presented to a user in a text prompt mode, a voice prompt mode and an image prompt mode, and the user can accurately take the target food material according to the position.
More further, the controller is further configured to:
receiving the intensity of a signal to be tested from the antenna to each fixed tag sent by the reader-writer host when responding to the operation of distributing and positioning food materials;
comparing the intensity of the signal to be detected with the intensity of a preset standard signal; wherein the standard signal intensity is the signal intensity from the antenna to each fixed tag when no food material is stored in the storage room;
and determining the distribution of the food materials in the storage chamber according to the comparison result.
For example, when a user needs to dissolve the food material distribution in the refrigerator, a food material distribution knowing instruction may be input on a human-computer interaction module (such as a display screen) of the refrigerator, and at this time, the controller responds to a food material distribution positioning operation. For example: the signal strength sent by the antenna No. 3 to the fixed tag No. 5 is recorded as RSSI-5-3, if RSSI-5-3 is RSSI-S-5-3, it is considered that no food material exists between the antenna No. 3 and the fixed tag No. 5, if RSSI-5-3< RSSI-S-5-3, it is considered that food material exists between the antenna No. 3 and the fixed tag No. 5, and the food material distribution in the refrigerator can be generally depicted through the comparison result of the signal strength values of all the fixed tags acquired by all the antennas.
Compared with the prior art, according to the refrigerator disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the plurality of fixed tags for reference are arranged in the refrigerator in advance, the antennas are provided with the plurality of paths of antennas arranged at different positions, when the target food material needs to be accurately positioned, the position of the target food material is calculated according to the RSSI data of the mobile tag and the fixed tag of the target food material, which are acquired by the antennas, and the position of the fixed tag is unchanged, so that the position of the food material can be accurately positioned by taking the fixed tag as a reference object, and the accurate positioning of the target food material is realized. In addition, under the condition of no shielding, the RSSI value of each antenna corresponding to each fixed tag acquired by the antenna is prestored, if the RSSI value detected in the subsequent ranging process is smaller than the RSSI value detected in the non-shielding process, the fixed tag is considered to be shielded, according to the RSSI data of each antenna corresponding to each fixed electronic tag acquired by the antenna, the corresponding RSSI data under the condition of no shielding is compared, the spatial distribution of the food materials in the refrigerator can be described, a user can know the distribution condition of the food materials in the refrigerator under the condition of not opening the refrigerator door, and then can know whether the vacant position exists and can place other food materials.

The fixed labels are placed on 4 top corners, 4 edges and planes of the object placing plate, and staggered distribution is achieved.

Meanwhile, the electronic tag of the food material and each antenna form a plurality of new connecting lines. When another food material is put into the refrigerator, the food material can form shielding between some antennas and fixed tags, and can also form shielding between the movable tags of the previous food material and some antennas.
The external antenna is arranged on the outer surface of the refrigerator door body, when a user binds/unbinds food materials and the mobile tag, the user firstly swipes the card on the external antenna by the mobile tag, and then inputs the information of the food materials to bind the mobile tag.
