Detailed Description

(knowledge based on the present invention, etc.)

As in the prior art described above, in a configuration in which processing corresponding to the detection result is performed with the detection of entry into or exit from the geofence as a trigger, processing based on entry into the geofence and processing based on exit from the geofence may not be performed exactly.

For example, in the case where a plurality of geofences partially overlap, if a user enters a certain geofence and immediately enters other geofences that overlap, in the case where a process based on entering the certain geofence should be performed, it is possible to perform a process based on entering the other geofences. Accordingly, the present invention provides a program and a terminal device capable of surely performing a process based on a user entering into a geofence and a process based on a user exiting from the geofence.

The embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, unnecessary detailed description may be omitted. For example, a detailed description of known matters or a repeated description of practically the same structure may be omitted. In addition, the drawings and the following description are provided to facilitate a full understanding of the invention by those skilled in the art, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

(1. Structure)

Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a structure of a refrigerator control system 1000.

The refrigerator control system 1000 is a system in which a terminal device 2 used by a user P of the refrigerator 1 controls the refrigerator 1 via the global network GN. The global network GN includes the internet, telephone networks, and other communication networks.

The refrigerator control system 1000 includes a refrigerator 1. In fig. 1, a refrigerator 1 is provided in a house H of a user P. The refrigerator 1 includes a main cabinet 10 having an open front. A refrigerating chamber 11, an ice making chamber 12, a fresh freezing chamber 13, a freezing chamber 14, and a vegetable chamber 15 are formed on the main casing 10. A rotary left door 11A and a rotary right door 11B are provided in an opening portion of the front surface of the refrigerator compartment 11. Drawers 12A, 13A, 14A, and 15A for storing food are provided in the ice making chamber 12, the fresh air freezing chamber 13, the freezing chamber 14, and the vegetable chamber 15, respectively.

The refrigerator 1 of the present embodiment is connected to a communication device 4 provided in a user P's home H, and communicates with a refrigerator control server 3 via a communication interface device 4.

The communication device 4 is connected to the global network GN and communicates with the refrigerator control server 3 connected to the global network GN. The communication device 4 functions as an interface device for connecting the refrigerator 1 to the global network GN. When a communication connection is established with the terminal device 2, the communication device 4 functions as an interface device for connecting the terminal device 2 to the global network GN. The communication device 4 has a function related to a modem, a router function, a NAT (Network Address Translation ) function, and the like. The communication device 4 transmits data transmitted and received between the refrigerator 1 and the refrigerator control server 3 connected to the global network GN. The communication device 4 transmits data transmitted and received between the terminal device 2 that establishes a communication connection and the refrigerator control server 3 that is connected to the global network GN.

The refrigerator control system 1000 includes a terminal device 2 having a touch panel 22. The terminal device 2 is, for example, a smart phone or a tablet terminal, and is used by the user P of the refrigerator 1. An application program for controlling the refrigerator 1 is installed in the terminal device 2. In the following description, an application program for controlling the refrigerator 1 is referred to as a "refrigerator control application", and a symbol of "213" is attached (see fig. 2). The touch panel 22 corresponds to an example of the "display unit". The refrigerator control application 213 corresponds to one example of "programs" and "application programs".

In fig. 1, a user P at home is indicated by a broken line, and a user P going out from home H is indicated by a solid line. When used by the user P at home, the terminal device 2 communicates with the refrigerator control server 3 connected to the global network GN via the communication device 4 or not via the communication device 4 according to the function of the refrigerator control application 213, and controls the refrigerator 1. When used by the user P who goes out from the home H, the terminal device 2 communicates with the refrigerator control server 3 connected to the global network GN without via the communication device 4 according to the function of the refrigerator control application 213, and controls the refrigerator 1.

The refrigerator control system 1000 includes a refrigerator control server 3. The refrigerator control server 3 is a server device that controls the refrigerator 1. The refrigerator control server 3 is connected to the global network GN. In fig. 1, the refrigerator control server 3 is represented by one block, but this does not mean that the refrigerator control server 3 is constituted by a single server apparatus. For example, the refrigerator control server 3 may be constituted by a plurality of server devices having different processing contents.

Next, the structures of the refrigerator 1, the terminal device 2, and the refrigerator control server 3 will be described. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the structures of the refrigerator 1, the terminal device 2, and the refrigerator control server 3.

First, the structure of the refrigerator 1 will be described. The refrigerator 1 includes a refrigerator control unit 16, a refrigerator communication unit 17, and a cooling unit 18.

The refrigerator control unit 16 includes a refrigerator processor 160 as a processor that executes a program such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro-processing unit), and a refrigerator storage unit 161 that controls each part of the refrigerator 1. The refrigerator control unit 16 performs various processes by cooperation of hardware and software, so that the refrigerator processor 160 reads out the control program 1611 stored in the refrigerator storage unit 161 and executes the processes.

The refrigerator storage section 161 has a storage area in which a program executed by the refrigerator processor 160 or data processed by the refrigerator processor 160 is stored. The refrigerator storage unit 161 stores a control program 1611 executed by the refrigerator processor 160, setting data 1612 related to setting of the refrigerator 1, and other various data. The refrigerator storage section 161 has a nonvolatile storage area. The refrigerator storage section 161 may have a volatile storage area, and may constitute an operation area of the refrigerator processor 160.

The refrigerator communication unit 17 includes communication hardware according to a predetermined communication standard. The refrigerator communication unit 17 communicates with devices connected to the global network GN according to a predetermined communication standard under the control of the refrigerator control unit 16. In the present embodiment, the refrigerator communication unit 17 communicates with the refrigerator control server 3 according to a predetermined communication standard. The communication standard used by the refrigerator communication unit 17 may be a wireless communication standard (for example, ieee802.11a/11b/11g/11n/11ac, bluetooth (registered trademark)), or a wired communication standard.

The cooling unit 18 includes: the refrigerator 1 is cooled in each storage compartment by a compressor 181, a condenser 182, a capillary tube 183, a cooler 184, a cooling fan 185 for sending cool air generated by the cooler 184 to each storage compartment, a damper 186 for dividing cool air sent by the cooling fan 185, and the like. The cooling unit 18 cools each storage compartment of the refrigerator 1 under the control of the refrigerator control unit 16.

The refrigerator control unit 16 of the present embodiment shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to any one of a normal mode, an outgoing mode, and a shopping preparation mode. The outgoing mode is an operation mode in which power consumption is smaller than that in the normal mode. The shopping preparation mode is an operation mode in which the amount of cooling in the refrigerator 1 is increased as compared with the normal mode. The normal mode is an operation mode in which power consumption is greater than that in the outgoing mode and the cooling capacity in the refrigerator 1 is smaller than that in the shopping preparation mode.

Here, the outbound mode and the shopping preparation mode will be described in detail.

< go out mode >)

For example, the refrigerator control unit 16 reduces the cooling amount of each storage compartment of the refrigerator 1 by making the rotation speed of the compressor 181 lower in the outgoing mode than in the normal mode. For example, the refrigerator control unit 16 reduces the circulation amount of the cold air in the refrigerator 1 by making the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 lower in the outgoing mode than in the normal mode. For example, in the outdoor mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 reduces the number of rotations of the compressor 181 and the cooling fan 185, respectively, so as to reduce the cooling amount and the circulation amount of cool air.

Thus, in the outgoing mode, the temperature in the refrigerator 1 rises by 1 ℃. In addition, instead of making the rotation speed of the compressor 181 lower than that in the normal mode, the period of stopping the operation of the compressor 181 may be prolonged. In addition, instead of making the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 lower than that in the normal mode, the period of stopping the operation of the cooling fan 185 may be prolonged.

When the refrigerator communication unit 17 receives the 1 st transition instruction information indicating the transition instruction to the outgoing mode from the refrigerator control server 3, the refrigerator control unit 16 transitions the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 from the normal mode to the outgoing mode. After the refrigerator control unit 16 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outgoing mode, if an end trigger of the outgoing mode occurs, the outgoing mode is ended, and the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 is shifted from the outgoing mode to the normal mode.

For example, when the refrigerator control unit 16 detects the opening/closing of at least one of the left door 11A, the right door 11B, and the

drawers

12A, 13A, 14A, and 15A by an opening/closing sensor or the like, not shown, the out mode is terminated as an end trigger. When a predetermined time (for example, 8 hours) has elapsed after the refrigerator control unit 16 shifts to the outgoing mode, the outgoing mode is terminated as an end trigger.

< shopping preparation mode >)

Next, a shopping preparation mode will be described. By setting the operation mode to the shopping preparation mode before the user P stores the food in the refrigerator 1, the refrigerator 1 can lower the temperature in the refrigerator 1 than in the normal mode before the user P stores the food in the refrigerator 1. In this way, the refrigerator 1 can prevent the temperature in the refrigerator from temporarily increasing due to the user P storing the food in the refrigerator 1, and can quickly bring the temperature of the newly stored food to an optimal storage temperature. That is, the refrigerator 1 sets the operation mode to the shopping preparation mode before the user P stores the food in the refrigerator 1, and can prevent the freshness of the stored food and the freshness of the newly stored food from being lowered.

For example, in the shopping preparation mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 increases the cooling amount in the refrigerator 1 by increasing the rotation speed of the compressor 181 higher than that in the normal mode. Alternatively, for example, in the shopping preparation mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 increases the cooling fan 185 rotation speed higher than that in the normal mode, increases the circulation amount of the cold air in the refrigerator 1, and increases the cooling amount in the refrigerator 1. Alternatively, for example, in the shopping preparation mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 increases the cooling amount in the refrigerator 1 by increasing the rotation speed of the compressor 181 and the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 in comparison with the normal mode. Thus, in the shopping preparation mode, the temperature in the refrigerator 1 is reduced by 2 ℃ compared with the normal mode, for example. In the shopping preparation mode, the temperature in the store may be lowered for all the storage compartments, or may be lowered for only any storage compartment such as the refrigerator compartment 11.

When the refrigerator communication unit 17 receives the 2 nd transfer instruction information indicating the transfer instruction to the shopping preparation mode from the refrigerator control server 3, the refrigerator control unit 16 transfers the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 from the normal mode to the shopping preparation mode. After the refrigerator control unit 16 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode, if a trigger for ending the shopping preparation mode occurs, the shopping preparation mode is ended, and the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 is shifted from the shopping preparation mode to the normal mode.

For example, when detecting the opening/closing of at least one of the left door 11A, the right door 11B, and the

drawers

12A, 13A, 14A, and 15A by an opening/closing sensor or the like, not shown, the refrigerator control unit 16 ends the shopping preparation mode as an end trigger. When a predetermined time (for example, 2 hours) has elapsed after the refrigerator control unit 16 shifts to the shopping preparation mode, the shopping preparation mode is terminated as an end trigger.

Next, the structure of the refrigerator control server 3 will be described. The refrigerator control server 3 includes a server control unit 30 and a server communication unit 31.

The server control unit 30 includes: a server processor 300 as a processor for executing programs such as a CPU and an MPU, and a server storage unit 310 control the respective sections of the refrigerator control server 3. The server control unit 30 performs various processes by cooperation of hardware and software, so that the server processor 300 reads out the control program 311 stored in the server storage unit 310 and executes the processes.

The server storage unit 310 has a storage area in which a program executed by the server processor 300 or data processed by the server processor 300 is stored. The server storage unit 310 stores a control program 311 executed by the server processor 300, setting data 312 related to setting of the refrigerator control server 3, a refrigerator control database 313, and other various data. The server storage unit 310 has a nonvolatile storage area. The server storage unit 310 may have a volatile storage area, and may constitute an operation area of the server processor 300.

The refrigerator control database 313 is a database storing various information related to control of the refrigerator 1. One record R stored in the refrigerator control database 313 has a user ID3131 and refrigerator communication information 3132. In addition, one record R stored in the refrigerator control database 313 may also have one or more other kinds of information.

The user ID3131 is identification information for identifying the user P using the refrigerator control application 213, and is appropriately assigned to the user P using the refrigerator control application 213.

The refrigerator communication information 3132 is information for communicating with the refrigerator 1. The refrigerator communication information 3132 includes address information, security information, and the like, for example.

The server communication unit 31 includes communication hardware according to a predetermined communication standard. The server communication unit 31 communicates with devices connected to the global network GN according to a predetermined communication standard under the control of the server control unit 30. In the present embodiment, the server communication unit 31 communicates with the refrigerator 1 and the terminal device 2.

Next, the structure of the terminal device 2 will be described.

The terminal device 2 includes: a terminal control unit 20, a terminal communication unit 21, a touch panel 22, and a GPS (Global Positioning System ) receiving unit 23. The terminal control unit 20 corresponds to an example of a "control unit".

The terminal control unit 20 includes a terminal processor 200 as a processor for executing programs such as a CPU and an MPU, and a terminal storage unit 210, and controls the respective units of the terminal device 2. The terminal control unit 20 performs various processes by cooperation of hardware and software, so that the terminal processor 200 reads out a control program stored in the terminal storage unit 210 and executes the processes. The terminal control unit 20 functions as the basic control unit 2100 by the terminal processor 200 executing the operating system 211 as a basic control program. In addition, the operating system 211 is a general-purpose operating system. As the operating system 211, iOS (registered trademark), android (registered trademark), mac OS (registered trademark), and the like can be given as examples. Further, the terminal processor 200 executes the refrigerator control application 213, whereby the terminal control unit 20 functions as the application execution unit 2200.

The terminal storage section 210 has a storage area storing a program executed by the terminal processor 200 or data processed by the terminal processor 200. The terminal storage unit 210 stores an operating system 211, a control program 211 executed by the terminal processor 200, setting data 212 related to setting of the terminal device 2, a refrigerator control application 213, a user ID3131, a valid latest detection result 214, and other various data. The terminal storage unit 210 has a nonvolatile storage area. The terminal storage unit 210 may have a volatile storage area, and may constitute an operation area of the terminal processor 200. The valid latest detection result 214 will be described later.

The terminal communication unit 21 includes communication hardware according to a predetermined communication standard. The terminal communication unit 21 communicates with devices connected to the global network GN according to a predetermined communication standard under the control of the terminal control unit 20. The terminal communication unit 21 communicates with the refrigerator control server 3 according to a predetermined communication standard in accordance with the function of the refrigerator control application 213. The communication standard used by the terminal communication unit 21 is a wireless communication standard.

The touch panel 22 includes a display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel and a touch sensor that is overlapped with or integrally provided with the display panel. The display panel displays various images under the control of the terminal control section 20. The touch sensor detects a touch operation and outputs the touch operation to the terminal control section 20. The terminal control unit 20 executes processing corresponding to a touch operation based on an input from the touch sensor.

The GPS receiving unit 23 includes hardware for periodically receiving GPS signals from GPS satellites by an antenna (not shown) and calculating the position (for example, latitude and longitude) of the terminal device 2 from the received GPS signals. The GPS receiving unit 23 generates position data indicating the calculated position of the terminal device 2, and outputs the position data to the terminal control unit 20.

As described above, the terminal control unit 20 functions as the basic control unit 2100 and the application execution unit 2200.

The basic control section 2100 executes the functions of the operating system 211. The basic control unit 2100 in this embodiment determines whether the user P enters or exits the home geofence JA and the shopping-destination geofence KA. For the self-home geofence JA, in the case where the shopping destination geofence KA corresponds to the case of the "2 nd geofence", it corresponds to the case of the "1 st geofence", and in the case where the shopping destination geofence KA corresponds to the case of the "1 st geofence", it corresponds to the case of the "2 nd geofence".

The home geofence JA is a geofence considered to be home H. In the present invention, a geofence (geofence area) is an area surrounded by an imaginary boundary line. The basic control unit 2100 sets an area with a radius αmeter as the home geofence JA, for example, centering on the home position JI set by the setting unit 2201. The home position JI is the position of the home H of the user P. Shopping destination geofence KA is a geofence that is considered a shopping destination. The shopping destination is a place where the user P can acquire food, for example, a store selling food. The shopping destination corresponds to one example of "food availability destination". The basic control unit 2100 sets an area with a radius of βmeters as the shopping destination geofence KA, for example, centering on the shopping destination position KI set by the setting unit 2201. The shopping destination location KI is the location of the shopping destination. The shopping destination geofence KA is set to a larger area than the home geofence JA.

Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining the determination of the basic control unit 2100. In fig. 3, the home geofence JA is a circular area centered on the home position JI. The basic control unit 2100 detects whether the user P enters the home geofence JA and whether the user P exits the home geofence JA based on the position of the terminal device 2 indicated by the position data output from the GPS receiving unit 23.

For example, as a result of the movement of the user P as indicated by the arrow Y1, when the terminal device 2 moves from outside the home geofence JA into the home geofence JA, the basic control section 2100 detects that the user P enters the home geofence JA. As a result of the movement of the user P as indicated by the arrow Y2, when the terminal device 2 moves from the home geofence JA to the outside of the home geofence JA, the basic control section 2100 detects that the user P exits from the home geofence JA.

In FIG. 3, the shopping destination geofence KA is a circular area centered on the shopping destination location KI. The basic control unit 2100 detects whether or not the user P enters the shopping-destination geofence KA and whether or not the user P exits from the shopping-destination geofence KA based on the position of the terminal device 2 indicated by the position data output from the GPS receiving unit 23.

For example, as a result of the movement of the user P as indicated by the arrow Y3, when the terminal device 2 moves from outside the shopping-destination geofence KA into the shopping-destination geofence KA, the basic control section 2100 detects that the user P enters the shopping-destination geofence KA. As a result of the movement of the user P as indicated by the arrow Y4, when the terminal device 2 moves from the shopping-destination geofence KA to the outside of the shopping-destination geofence KA, the basic control section 2100 detects that the user P exits from the shopping-destination geofence KA.

In fig. 3, the home geofence JA is a circle centered on the home position JI, but the shape of the home geofence JA is not limited to a circle, and may be another shape such as a rectangle. The same is true for the shape of the shopping destination geofence KA with respect to the description of the shape of the home geofence JA. In fig. 3, the center of the home geofence JA is the home position JI, but the center of the home geofence JA is not limited to the home position JI as long as the center of the home geofence JA includes the home position JI. The same is true for the center of the shopping destination geofence KA with respect to the center of the home geofence JA.

The basic control section 2100 outputs the detection result to the application execution section 2200. The detection result output by the basic control section 2100 indicates any one of "home IN", "home OUT", "shopping destination IN", and "shopping destination OUT". "self IN" means that user P has entered self geofence JA. "House OUT" indicates that user P has exited from the home geofence JA. "shopping destination IN" means that user P has entered shopping destination geofence KA. "shopping destination OUT" indicates that user P has exited from shopping destination geofence KA.

Returning to the description of fig. 2, the application execution unit 2200 includes, as functional units, a setting unit 2201, an acquisition unit 2202, a determination unit 2203, a display control unit 2204, and an operation control unit 2205. The display control unit 2204 corresponds to an example of the "processing unit".

The setting unit 2201 performs various settings related to the functions of the refrigerator control application 213. For example, the setting unit 2201 sets the setting values as corresponding setting items in the application setting data stored in a predetermined storage area accessible to the refrigerator control application 213, thereby performing various settings related to the functions of the refrigerator control application 213. The application setting data is data related to the setting of the function of the refrigerator control application 213, and includes various setting items.

The setting unit 2201 sets the home position JI. For example, when the address of the home H is input via the interface for setting the home position JI, the setting unit 2201 sets the input address as the home position JI. Alternatively, the setting unit 2201 displays a map for setting the home position JI on the touch panel 22, and sets the position on the map instructed by the user P by the touch operation as the home position JI.

The setting unit 2201 sets the shopping-destination location KI. For example, when the setting unit 2201 inputs the address of the shopping destination via the interface for setting the shopping destination location KI, the input address is set as the shopping destination location KI. Alternatively, the setting unit 2201 displays a map for setting the shopping-destination position KI on the touch panel 22, and sets the position on the map indicated by the touch operation of the user P as the shopping-destination position KI.

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result from the basic control unit 2100. The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result from the basic control unit 2100, and then outputs the acquired detection result to the determination unit 2203.

The determination unit 2203 determines whether the detection result output from the acquisition unit 2202 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result. The determination by the determining unit 2203 will be described later with reference to fig. 7 to 14. If the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result is valid, the valid latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210 is updated to the detection result determined to be valid. The valid latest detection result 214 is a detection result output from the basic control unit 2100, and is a detection result that the determination unit 2203 has recently determined to be valid. The determination unit 2203 outputs the result of the determination as to whether it is valid or not to the display control unit 2204.

The display control unit 2204 displays a pop-up window on the touch panel 22 to perform push notification.

In the present embodiment, when the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "home OUT", the display control unit 2204 performs a push notification indicating that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the outgoing mode. Hereinafter, this push notification will be referred to as "1 st push notification". In addition, when a predetermined time (for example, 15 minutes) has not elapsed since the 1 st push notification was performed last time, even when the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "home OUT", the display control unit 2204 does not perform the 1 st push notification.

IN the present embodiment, when the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is a valid detection result, the display control unit 2204 performs a push notification indicating that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the shopping preparation mode. Hereinafter, this push notification is referred to as "2 nd push notification". Further, the display control unit 2204 performs the push notification of the 2 nd time after the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" is valid, on the condition that the basic control unit 2100 does not output the detection result. In other words, when this condition is not satisfied, the display control unit 2204 does not perform the 2 nd push notification.

The display control unit 2204 displays a user interface on the touch panel 22. Hereinafter, this user interface is referred to as an "application UI" and a symbol of "2130" is appended (see fig. 4). The display control section 2204 provides various information to the user P or accepts various inputs from the user P by displaying the application UI2130 on the touch panel 22.

In the present embodiment, the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction to set the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outgoing mode from the user P via the application UI 2130. The display control unit 2204 receives an instruction to set the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode from the user P via the application UI 2130. The display control unit 2204 receives an instruction to set the home position JI from the user P via the application UI 2130. Further, the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction to set the shopping-destination location KI from the user P via the application UI 2130.

The display control unit 2204 displays the notification card TC corresponding to the detection result determined to be valid by the determination unit 2203 on the home screen HG of the application UI 2130. The notification card TC is a card-type icon for notifying the user P of predetermined information.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the home screen HG of the application UI 2130.

The home screen HG HAs a mode display area HA1. The mode display area HA1 is an area in which a mode image G1, which is an image indicating the current operation mode of the refrigerator 1, is displayed. In fig. 4, the mode display area HA1 indicates that the current operation mode of the refrigerator 1 is the normal mode.

The home screen HG HAs a notification card display area HA2. The notification card display area HA2 is an area in which one notification card TC is displayed. The notification card display area HA2 displays one notification card TC in a predetermined priority order. In fig. 4, the notification card display area HA2 displays the outgoing mode notification card TC2.

In the notification card display area HA2, the user P performs a slide operation in the left-right direction in the notification card display area HA2, thereby switching the notification card TC to be displayed. The sliding operation is a touch operation in which an operation tool such as a finger or an electronic pen moves while being in contact with the display panel of the touch panel 22.

In the notification card display area HA2, when the user P performs a sliding operation in the rightward direction, the notification cards TC are sequentially switched from the notification card TC having a higher priority to the notification card TC having a lower priority in accordance with the amount of movement of the operation. In addition, in the case where the notification card TC having the lowest priority is displayed, even if the rightward sliding operation is performed in the notification card display area HA2, the notification card TC is not switched in the notification card display area HA2.

In the notification card display area HA2, when the user P performs a sliding operation in the left direction, the notification cards TC are sequentially switched from the notification card TC having a lower priority to the notification card TC having a higher priority in accordance with the movement amount of the operation tool. In addition, in the case where the notification card TC having the highest priority is displayed, even if a slide operation in the left direction is performed in the notification card display area HA2, the notification card TC is not switched in the notification card display area HA2.

The notification card TC in the notification card display area HA2 may be switched by a touch operation other than a sliding operation such as a flick operation. The flick operation is a touch operation of removing a contacted operation tool and separating the operation tool from the touch panel 22.

In the present embodiment, the notification card TC displayed in the notification card display area HA2 is any one of three types of notification cards TC shown in fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining the notification card TC.

In the present embodiment, there are three notification cards TC, namely, a recipe providing notification card TC1, an outgoing mode notification card TC2, and a shopping preparation mode notification card TC 3.

The recipe providing notification card TC1 is a notification card TC for providing a recipe for cooking food stored in the refrigerator 1 to the user P. The recipe providing notification card TC1 contains notification information J1, and the notification information J1 indicates the notification card TC for providing a recipe for cooking.

In the notification card display area HA2, the recipe providing notification card TC1 is selectively displayed by a tap operation. If the notification card TC1 is provided by the recipe displayed in the notification card display area HA2 by a tap operation, the display control unit 2204 displays a screen of a recipe list of the cooking in the application UI 2130. When the recipe providing notification card TC1 is lightly touched, the terminal control unit 20 may start an application program that can cooperate with the refrigerator control application 213 to provide a recipe for cooking. When the recipe providing notification card TC1 is lightly touched, the terminal control unit 20 may start a browser and display a website of the recipe on the touch panel 22.

The egress mode notification card TC2 is a notification card TC for setting the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the egress mode. The outgoing mode notification card TC2 includes notification information J2, and the notification information J2 indicates that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the outgoing mode by clicking the notification card TC.

In the notification card display area HA2, the outgoing mode notification card TC2 is selectively displayed by a tap operation. If the outgoing mode notification card TC2 displayed in the notification card display area HA2 is touched, the operation control unit 2205 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outgoing mode. Accordingly, in the application UI2130, the mode image G1 displayed in the mode display area HA1 of the home screen HG indicates an outgoing mode. In addition, the notification card TC2 is not displayed in the notification card display area HA 2.

The shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is a notification card TC for setting the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode. The shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 includes notification information J3, and the notification information J3 indicates that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the shopping preparation mode by a tap operation.

In the notification card display area HA2, a shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is selectively displayed by a tap operation. If the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 displayed in the notification card display area HA2 is touched, the operation control unit 2205 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode. Accordingly, in the application UI2130, the mode image G1 displayed in the mode display area HA1 of the home screen HG indicates a shopping preparation mode. In addition, the notification card display area HA2 does not display the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3.

When the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "home IN", the display control unit 2204 displays the recipe providing notification card TC1 IN the notification card display area HA 2.

When the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "home OUT", the display control unit 2204 displays either the recipe providing notification card TC1 or the outgoing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA 2. In the present embodiment, the order of the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3, the outgoing mode notification card TC2, and the recipe providing notification card TC1 is set from high to low as the order of priority displayed in the notification card display area HA 2. Therefore, when the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "home OUT", the display control unit 2204 displays the outgoing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2 in preference to the recipe providing notification card TC1.

When the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "shopping-destination IN", the display control unit 2204 displays any one of the recipe providing notification card TC1, the outgoing-mode notification card TC2, and the shopping-preparation-mode notification card TC3 IN the notification-card display area HA 2. When the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "shopping-destination IN", the display control unit 2204 displays the shopping-preparation-mode notification card TC3 IN the notification-card display area HA2 IN preference to the recipe providing notification card TC1 and the outgoing-mode notification card TC2.

When the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "shopping-destination OUT", the display control unit 2204 displays the notification card TC in the notification-card display area HA2, similarly to the case where the determination unit 2203 determines that the valid detection result indicates "home OUT".

Returning to the description of fig. 2, when the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction to set the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outgoing mode from the user P via the application UI2130, the operation control unit 2205 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outgoing mode. When the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction to set the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode from the user P via the application UI2130, the operation control unit 2205 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode.

(2. Action)

Next, the operation of each part of the refrigerator control system 1000 in this embodiment will be described. First, the operation of the terminal device 2 before the basic control unit 2100 starts the above-described detection will be described.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the terminal device 2. In fig. 6, a flowchart FA shows the operation of the application execution unit 2200, and a flowchart FB shows the operation of the basic control unit 2100.

The setting unit 2201 of the application execution unit 2200 determines whether or not the home position JI is set (step SA 1).

For example, when the user P inputs the address of the user H, the setting unit 2201 makes an affirmative determination in step SA 1. In addition, for example, in a case where a touch operation indicating a position on the map is detected in the touch panel 22 in the map for setting the home position JI, the setting section 2201 makes an affirmative determination in step SA 1.

When the setting unit 2201 determines that the home position JI is set (yes in step SA 1), the home position JI is set (step SA 2), and the home position information indicating the set home position JI is output to the basic control unit 2100 (step SA 3).

Returning to the explanation of step SA1, when the setting unit 2201 determines that the home position JI is not set (step SA1: no), it determines whether or not the shopping-destination position KI is set (step SA 4).

For example, when the user P inputs the address of the shopping destination, the setting unit 2201 makes a positive determination in step SA 4. In addition, for example, in a map for setting the shopping-destination position KI, in a case where a touch operation indicating a position on the map is detected in the touch panel 22, the setting section 2201 makes an affirmative determination in step SA 4.

When the setting unit 2201 determines that the shopping-destination location KI is not set (step SA4: no), the process of step SA1 is executed again.

On the other hand, when the setting unit 2201 determines that the shopping-destination position KI is set (yes in step SA 4), the shopping-destination position KI is set (step SA 5), and shopping-destination position information indicating the set shopping-destination position KI is output to the basic control unit 2100 (step SA 6).

Referring to flowchart FB, basic control unit 2100 determines whether or not home position information is input from application execution unit 2200 (step SB 1).

When it is determined that the home position information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (yes in step SB 1), the basic control unit 2100 sets the home geofence JA based on the input home position information (step SB 2). Then, the basic control section 2100 starts detecting entry of the user P into the set home geofence JA and exit of the user P from the set home geofence JA (step SB 3).

If the basic control section 2100 starts detection of the home geofence JA, detection of the home geofence JA is performed independently of the state of the refrigerator control application 213. That is, the basic control section 2100 detects the home geofence JA regardless of whether the refrigerator control application 213 is in the foreground, in the background, or temporarily stopped.

On the other hand, when the basic control unit 2100 determines that no home position information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (no in step SB 1), it determines whether or not shopping-destination position information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB 4).

When the basic control unit 2100 determines that the shopping-destination location information is not input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB4: no), the process of step SB1 is executed again.

When the basic control unit 2100 determines that the shopping-destination location information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (yes in step SB 4), the shopping-destination geofence KA is set based on the input shopping-destination location information (step SB 5). Then, the basic control section 2100 starts detecting entry of the user P into the set shopping-destination geofence KA and exit of the user P from the set shopping-destination geofence KA (step SB 6).

If the basic control section 2100 starts detection of the shopping-destination geofence KA, detection is performed independently of the state of the refrigerator control application 213, as in the determination of the home geofence JA.

Next, with reference to fig. 7 to 14, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 after the basic control unit 2100 starts the above-described detection will be described. If the basic control unit 2100 outputs the detection result, the refrigerator control application 213 is temporarily started in the temporarily stopped state and the stopped state, and performs the operations of fig. 7, 9, 11, and 13, and in the background operation, performs the operations of fig. 7, 9, 11, and 13. The operation of the application execution unit 2200 after the start of the detection by the basic control unit 2100 differs depending on the detection result output from the basic control unit 2100.

< detection result means "self OUT")

First, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result outputted from the basic control unit 2100 indicates "home OUT" will be described. Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home OUT".

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output from the basic control unit 2100 (step SC 1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the valid latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210, and determines whether the detection result indicating "home OUT" acquired in step SC1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result (step SC 2).

IN step SC2, when the valid latest detection result 214, that is, the latest detection result determined to be valid, is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home OUT" acquired IN step SC1 is a valid detection result. On the other hand, IN step SC2, when the latest detection result determined to be valid indicates a detection result other than "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home OUT" acquired IN step SC1 is an invalid detection result.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home OUT" acquired in step SC1 is valid or invalid (step SC 3).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 determines that it is not valid (step SC3: invalid), the processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "home OUT" acquired in step SC1 is not executed (step SC 4). In addition, the processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "home OUT" is to display the outbound mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2 and execute the 1 st push notification.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 determines that it is valid (step SC3: valid), the outgoing mode notification card TC2 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step SC 5).

Thus, when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the outgoing mode by viewing the home screen HG. Even when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the background, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the outgoing mode by switching the operation state of the refrigerator control application 213 to the foreground.

Next, the display control unit 2204 performs the 1 st push notification (step SC 6).

Thus, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the outgoing mode, regardless of whether the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground or the background.

In addition, when a predetermined time has not elapsed since the 1 st push notification was last performed, the display control unit 2204 skips the processing of step SC 6. Thus, when the user P comes to and comes from the boundary of the home geofence JA, the 1 st push notification can be prevented from being performed a plurality of times in a short time.

Next, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home OUT" will be described specifically with reference to fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a diagram for explaining specifically the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home OUT".

In FIG. 8, the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA partially overlap each other. In fig. 8, a user P passes through a point P1 from within the home geofence JA, enters an overlapping area TA1 where the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA overlap, and then passes through a point P2 from within the overlapping area TA1, and enters the shopping destination geofence KA that does not overlap with the home geofence JA.

Site P1 is the site on the boundary of the overlap area TA1 and the home geofence JA. IN fig. 8, if the user P passes through the point P1 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "shopping-destination IN". The place P2 is a place on the boundary of the overlap area TA1 and the shopping destination geofence KA. In fig. 8, if the user P passes through the point P2 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "home OUT".

Here, with reference to fig. 8, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when processing corresponding to the detection result is executed for all the detection results without performing the operation of fig. 7 will be described. In this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P is located in the overlapping area TA1 by the place P1, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed in the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the point P2 and enters the shopping destination geofence KA that does not overlap the home geofence JA from the overlapping area TA1, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "home OUT" from the basic control unit 2100. Then, even though the user P is within the shopping-destination geofence KA, the display control section 2204 sets the notification card TC displayed in the notification-card display area HA2 from the shopping-ready-mode notification card TC3 to the outbound-mode notification card TC2. In addition, the display control unit 2204 performs the 1 st push notification even if the user P is within the shopping destination geofence KA. That is, in the configuration in which the operation of fig. 7 is not performed, in fig. 8, although the user P is located within the shopping-destination geofence KA, the shopping-ready-mode notification card TC3 is not displayed on the home screen HG, and an inaccurate push notification is made.

Next, with reference to fig. 8, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 configured to execute the operation of fig. 7 will be described. IN this explanation, when the user P passes through the point P1, it is determined that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is valid, and the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed IN the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the point P2 and enters the shopping destination geofence KA that does not overlap the home geofence JA from the overlapping area TA1, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "home OUT" from the basic control unit 2100. However, since the detection result that has been most recently determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home OUT" is invalid. Therefore, even though the spot P2 passes, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is kept displayed on the home screen HG. In addition, the 1 st push notification is not performed. That is, if the operation of fig. 7 is performed, the correct notification card TC can be displayed in the notification card display area HA2, and an inaccurate push notification can be prevented from being performed.

< case where the detection result indicates "shopping destination OUT" >

Next, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result outputted from the basic control unit 2100 indicates "shopping-destination OUT" will be described. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "shopping destination OUT".

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output from the basic control unit 2100 (step SD 1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the valid latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210, and determines whether the detection result indicating "shopping-destination OUT" acquired in step SD1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result (step SD 2).

IN step SD2, when the latest detection result that is determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping-destination OUT" acquired IN step SD1 is the valid detection result. On the other hand, IN step SD2, when the latest detection result determined to be valid is a detection result other than the "shopping-destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating the "shopping-destination OUT" acquired IN step SD1 is a detection result that is invalid.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping-destination OUT" acquired in step SD1 is valid or invalid (step SD 3).

When the determination unit 2203 determines that it is invalid (step SD3: invalid), the display control unit 2204 does not execute the processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "shopping-destination OUT" acquired in step SD1 (step SD 4). In addition, the processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" is to display the outgoing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2 and execute the 1 st push notification.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 determines that it is valid (step SD3: "valid"), the outgoing mode notification card TC2 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step SD 5).

Next, with reference to fig. 10, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "shopping-destination OUT" will be specifically described. Fig. 10 is a diagram for specifically explaining the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates the determination of "shopping destination OUT".

In FIG. 10, the shopping destination geofence KA and the home geofence JA partially overlap each other. Fig. 10 shows a case where the user P passes through the point P3 from within the shopping destination geofence KA, enters the overlapping area TA2 where the shopping destination geofence KA and the home geofence JA overlap, and then passes through the point P4 from within the overlapping area TA2, and enters the home geofence JA that does not overlap with the shopping destination geofence KA.

The place P3 is a place on the boundary of the overlap area TA2 and the shopping destination geofence KA. IN fig. 10, if the user P passes through the point P3 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "home IN". Site P4 is the site on the boundary of overlap area TA2 and home geofence JA. In fig. 10, if the user P passes through the point P4 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "shopping destination OUT".

Here, with reference to fig. 10, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when processing corresponding to the detection result is performed for all the detection results without performing the operation of fig. 9 will be described. In this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P is located in the overlapping area TA2 by the point P3, the recipe providing notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the place P4 and enters the home geofence JA that is not overlapped with the shopping-destination geofence KA from the overlapping area TA2, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "shopping-destination OUT" from the basic control unit 2100. Then, although the user P is within the home geofence JA, the display control section 2204 sets the notification card TC displayed by the notification card display area HA2 from the recipe providing notification card TC1 to the outgoing mode notification card TC2, that is, in a configuration in which the operation of fig. 9 is not performed, the outgoing mode notification card TC2 is displayed in the home screen HG although the user P is within the home geofence JA.

Next, with reference to fig. 10, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the operation shown in fig. 9 is performed will be described. IN this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P passes through the point P3, it is determined that the detection result indicating "home IN" is valid, and the recipe providing notification card TC1 is displayed IN the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the place P4 and enters the home geofence JA that is not overlapped with the shopping-destination geofence KA from the overlapping area TA2, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "shopping-destination OUT" from the basic control unit 2100. However, since the detection result that has been most recently determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" is invalid. Therefore, even if the spot P4 passes, the display of the recipe providing notification card TC1 is maintained in the home screen HG. That is, in the structure for performing the operation shown in fig. 9, the correct notification card TC can be displayed in the notification card display area HA 2.

< case where the detection result indicates "shopping destination IN" >

First, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result outputted from the basic control unit 2100 indicates "shopping-destination IN" will be described. Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "shopping-destination IN".

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output from the basic control unit 2100 (step SE 1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the valid latest detection result 214 stored IN the terminal storage unit 210, and determines whether the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" acquired IN step SE1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result (step SE 2).

IN step SE2, when it is determined that the latest detection result that is valid is a detection result other than "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result that is acquired IN step SE1 and that is indicative of "shopping-destination IN" is a valid detection result. On the other hand, IN step SE2, when it is determined that the latest detection result that is valid is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" acquired IN step SE1 is the detection result that is invalid.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" acquired IN step SE1 is valid or invalid (step SE 3).

When the determination unit 2203 determines that it is invalid (step SE3: invalid), the display control unit 2204 does not execute the processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" acquired IN step SE1 (step SE 4). The processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" is the display of the shopping-preparation-mode notification card TC3 IN the notification-card display area HA2 and the execution of the 2 nd push notification.

On the other hand, when the determination unit 2203 determines that it is valid (step SE3: valid), the display control unit 2204 displays the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step SE 5).

Thus, when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the shopping preparation mode by viewing the home screen HG. Even when the refrigerator control application 213 operates in the background, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the shopping preparation mode by switching the operation state of the refrigerator control application 213 to the foreground.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether or not the condition for performing the 2 nd push notification is satisfied (step SE 6).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the condition for performing the 2 nd push notification is not satisfied (step SE6: no), the present process ends.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the condition for performing the 2 nd push notification is satisfied (yes in step SE 6), the 2 nd push notification is performed (step SE 7).

Thus, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the shopping preparation mode, regardless of whether the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground or the background.

Next, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "shopping-destination IN" is specifically described with reference to fig. 12.

Fig. 12 is a diagram for explaining specifically the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "shopping-destination IN".

In FIG. 12, the self-home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA partially overlap each other. In fig. 12, a case is shown in which the user P passes through the point P5 from outside the home geofence JA, enters the home geofence JA, and then passes through the point P6 from inside the home geofence JA, and enters the overlapping area TA3 in which the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA overlap.

Site P5 is a site on the boundary of the own-home geofence JA except the boundary of the overlapping area TA 3. IN fig. 12, if the user P passes through the point P5 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "home IN". Site P6 is the site on the boundary of overlap area TA3 and home geofence JA. IN fig. 12, if the user P passes through the point P6 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "shopping destination IN".

Here, with reference to fig. 12, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when processing corresponding to the detection result is executed for all the detection results without executing the operation shown in fig. 11 will be described. In this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P is located in the overlapping area TA3 by the point P5, the recipe providing notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the point P6 and enters the overlapping area TA3 from the home geofence JA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" from the basic control unit 2100. Then, although the user P is within the home geofence JA, the display control section 2204 sets the notification card TC displayed by the notification card display area HA2 from the recipe providing notification card TC1 to the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3. In addition, although the user P is within the home geofence JA, the display control section 2204 also makes a2 nd push notification. That is, in the configuration in which the operation of fig. 11 is not performed, in fig. 12, although the user P is within the home geofence JA, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed on the home screen HG, and the 2 nd push notification is performed.

Next, with reference to fig. 12, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the operation shown in fig. 11 is performed will be described. IN this explanation, when the user P passes the point P5, it is determined that the detection result indicating "home IN" is valid, and the recipe providing notification card TC1 is displayed IN the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the point P6 and enters the overlapping area TA3 from the home geofence JA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" from the basic control unit 2100. However, since the detection result that has been most recently determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" is invalid. Therefore, even if the overlapping area TA3 is entered through the place P6, the display of the recipe providing notification card TC1 is maintained in the home screen HG. In addition, the 2 nd push notification is not performed. That is, if the operation of fig. 11 is performed, the exact notification card TC is displayed in the notification card display area HA2, and an inaccurate push notification can be prevented from being performed.

< detection result means "self IN" >)

First, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result outputted from the basic control unit 2100 indicates "home IN" will be described. Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home IN".

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output from the basic control unit 2100 (step SF 1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the valid latest detection result 214 stored IN the terminal storage unit 210, and determines whether the detection result indicating "home IN" acquired IN step SF1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result (step SF 2).

IN step SF2, when it is determined that the most recent detection result that is valid is a detection result other than "shopping-destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result that is acquired IN step SF1 and that is "home IN" is a valid detection result. On the other hand, IN step SE2, when the latest detection result that is determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home IN" acquired IN step SF1 is the detection result that is invalid.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the detection result indicating "home IN" acquired IN step SF1 is valid or invalid by the determination unit 2203 (step SF 3).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 is not valid (step SF3: invalid), the processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "home IN" acquired IN step SF1 is not executed (step SF 4). IN addition, the processing corresponding to the detection result indicating "home IN" is the display of the recipe providing notification card TC1 IN the notification card display area HA 2.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 determines that it is valid (step SF3: "valid"), the recipe providing notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step SF 5).

Thus, when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground, the user P can recognize that provision of a recipe can be accepted by viewing the home screen HG. In addition, even when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the background, the user P can recognize that provision of a recipe can be accepted by switching the operation state of the refrigerator control application 213 to the foreground.

Next, with reference to fig. 14, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home IN" will be specifically described. Fig. 14 is a diagram for explaining specifically the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home IN".

In FIG. 14, the shopping destination geofence KA and the home geofence JA partially overlap each other. Fig. 14 shows a case where the user P passes through the point P7 from outside the shopping destination geofence KA, enters the shopping destination geofence KA, and then passes through the point P8 from inside the shopping destination geofence KA, and enters the overlapping area TA4 where the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA overlap.

The place P7 is a place on the boundary of the shopping destination geofence KA except the boundary of the overlapping area TA 4. IN fig. 14, if the user P passes through the point P7 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "shopping-destination IN". The place P8 is a place on the boundary of the overlap area TA4 and the shopping destination geofence KA. IN fig. 14, if the user P passes through the point P8 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "home IN".

Here, with reference to fig. 14, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when processing corresponding to the detection result is executed for all the detection results without executing the operation shown in fig. 13 will be described. In this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P is located in the overlapping area TA4 by the point P7, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed in the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the point P8 and enters the overlapping area TA4 from the shopping-destination geofence KA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "home IN" from the basic control unit 2100. Then, although the user P is within the shopping-destination geofence KA, the display control section 2204 sets the notification card TC displayed in the notification-card display area HA2 from the shopping-ready-mode notification card TC3 to the recipe-providing notification card TC1. That is, in the configuration in which the action of fig. 13 is not implemented, in fig. 14, the recipe providing notification card TC1 is displayed in the home screen HG even though the user P is in the shopping-destination geofence KA. In other words, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is not displayed in the home screen HG.

Next, with reference to fig. 14, an operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the operation shown in fig. 13 is performed will be described. IN this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P passes through the point P7, it is determined that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is valid, and the recipe providing notification card TC1 is displayed IN the notification card display area HA 2. If the user P passes through the point P8 and enters the overlapping area TA4 from the shopping-destination geofence KA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result indicating "home IN" from the basic control unit 2100. However, since the detection result that has been most recently determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home IN" is invalid. Therefore, even if the overlapping area TA4 is entered by the spot P8, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is kept displayed on the home screen HG.

Fig. 8, 10, 12, and 14 show a case where the home geofence JA overlaps with a part of the shopping-destination geofence KA, but even when the home geofence JA is adjacent or neighboring the shopping-destination geofence KA, if the operations of fig. 7, 9, 11, and 13 are not performed, a process corresponding to the detection result may not be performed properly.

In detail, assume that the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA shown in FIG. 8 are contiguous or adjacent. IN this case, when the user P moves from the home geofence JA to the shopping destination geofence KA, the basic control section 2100 may detect "home OUT" and "shopping destination IN" at the same timing, and sequentially output the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" and the detection result indicating "home OUT" to the application executing section 2200. Here, if the operation of fig. 7 is not performed, as in the case described with reference to fig. 8, a situation occurs in which the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is not displayed even if the user P is within the shopping destination geofence KA.

Therefore, even when the home geofence JA is adjacent or neighboring the shopping-destination geofence KA, the operations of fig. 7, 9, 11, and 13 can be performed, so that the processing corresponding to the detection result can be performed accurately.

Next, the operation of the refrigerator control system 1000 related to the transition of the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 will be described.

When the operation control unit 2205 determines that the outbound mode notification card TC2 is being tapped, in other words, when the display control unit 2204 determines that a transition instruction to the outbound mode is received, the terminal communication unit 21 transmits 1 st transition instruction information indicating a transition instruction to the outbound mode to the refrigerator control server 3. The 1 st transfer instruction information is added with the user ID3131 stored in the terminal storage unit 210. If the operation control unit 2205 transmits the 1 st transition instruction information, the display control unit 2204 displays the mode image G1 indicating the outgoing mode in the mode display area HA1 of the home screen HG.

When the server communication unit 31 receives the 1 st transfer instruction information from the terminal device 2, the server control unit 30 of the refrigerator control server 3 refers to the refrigerator control database 313 and determines the record R including the user ID3131 added to the 1 st transfer instruction information. Next, the server control unit 30 transmits the 1 st transfer instruction information received from the terminal device 2 to the refrigerator 1 through the server communication unit 31 based on the refrigerator communication information 3132 included in the specified record R.

When the refrigerator communication unit 17 receives the 1 st transfer instruction information from the refrigerator control server 3, the refrigerator control unit 16 of the refrigerator 1 transfers the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outgoing mode.

When the operation control unit 2205 determines that the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is lightly touched, in other words, when the display control unit 2204 determines that a transition instruction to the shopping preparation mode is accepted, the terminal communication unit 21 transmits, to the refrigerator control server 3, the 2 nd transition instruction information indicating the transition instruction to the shopping preparation mode. The user ID3131 stored in the terminal storage unit 210 is added to the 2 nd transfer instruction information. If the operation control unit 2205 transmits the 2 nd transition instruction information, the display control unit 2204 displays the mode image G1 indicating the shopping preparation mode in the mode display area HA1 of the home screen HG.

When the server communication unit 31 receives the 2 nd transfer instruction information from the terminal device 2, the server control unit 30 of the refrigerator control server 3 refers to the refrigerator control database 313 and determines the record R including the user ID3131 added to the 2 nd transfer instruction information. Then, the server control unit 30 transmits the 2 nd transfer instruction information received from the terminal device 2 to the refrigerator 1 through the server communication unit 31 based on the refrigerator communication information 3132 included in the specified record R.

When the refrigerator communication unit 17 receives the 2 nd transfer instruction information from the refrigerator control server 3, the refrigerator control unit 16 of the refrigerator 1 transfers the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode.

(4. Modification)

IN the above-described embodiment, even when the detection result of the basic control section 2100 indicates "home IN", it is determined whether the detection result is valid or invalid. IN modification 1, when the detection result of the basic control unit 2100 indicates "home IN", the determination of whether to be valid or invalid is not performed, and the processing corresponding to the detection result of "home IN" is executed IN preference to the processing corresponding to the other detection results. For example, in modification 1, when the point P8 in fig. 14 is passed, the notification card TC displayed in the notification card display area HA2 is set as the recipe providing notification card TC1. IN modification 1, when the detection result of the basic control unit 2100 indicates "home IN", the shopping preparation mode is ended if the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 is the shopping preparation mode, and the outgoing mode is ended if the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 is the outgoing mode.

In the above-described embodiments, the case where the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA partially overlap, abut, or are adjacent is described. Even when different shopping destination geofences KA partially overlap, abut, or are adjacent, modification 2 can display and push notification of the notification card TC exactly as in the above embodiment.

The basic control section 2100 according to modification 2 recognizes a plurality of shopping-destination geofences KA, and detects entry and exit of the user P.

The determination unit 2203 of modification 2 performs the following determination. Assume that the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result of "shopping destination OUT" indicating a certain shopping destination geofence KA. IN this case, when the latest detection result determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" with respect to the certain shopping-destination geofence KA, the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" with respect to the certain shopping-destination geofence KA is valid. On the other hand, when the latest detection result determined to be valid is a detection result other than "shopping destination IN" indicating the certain shopping-destination geofence KA, the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" indicating the certain shopping-destination geofence KA is invalid.

Assume that the acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result of "shopping destination IN" indicating a certain shopping destination geofence KA. IN this case, when the latest detection result determined to be valid is a detection result other than "shopping destination IN" indicating the certain shopping-destination geofence KA, the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping-destination IN" indicating the certain shopping-destination geofence KA is valid. On the other hand, when the latest detection result determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" with respect to the certain shopping-destination geofence KA, the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" with respect to the certain shopping-destination geofence KA is invalid.

As a result, modification 2 can display the notification card TC and perform the push notification appropriately, as in the above embodiment.

(5. Effect, etc.)

The following effects are exhibited according to the above-described embodiments and modifications. Regarding the 1 st geofence and the 2 nd geofence used in the following effect explanation, when the 1 st geofence indicates the own-home geofence JA, the 2 nd geofence indicates the shopping-destination geofence KA, when the 1 st geofence indicates the shopping-destination geofence KA, the 2 nd geofence indicates the own-home geofence JA, and when the 1 st geofence indicates a certain shopping-destination geofence KA, the 2 nd geofence indicates a shopping-destination geofence KA different from the shopping-destination geofence KA.

The refrigerator control application 213 causes the terminal control section 20 of the terminal device 2 to function as three components: an acquisition unit 2202 that acquires a detection result indicating any of entry of the user P into the 1 st geofence, exit of the user P from the 1 st geofence, entry of the user P into the 2 nd geofence, and exit of the user P from the 2 nd geofence; a determination unit 2203 that determines whether the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202 is valid or invalid; the display control unit 2204 executes processing corresponding to the detection result determined to be valid by the determination unit 2203, but does not execute processing corresponding to the detection result determined to be invalid by the determination unit 2203. The determination unit 2203 determines whether the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202 is valid or invalid based on the latest detection result determined to be valid.

The terminal device 2 includes: an acquisition unit 2202 that acquires a detection result indicating any of entry of the user P into the 1 st geofence, exit of the user P from the 1 st geofence, entry of the user P into the 2 nd geofence, and exit of the user P from the 2 nd geofence; a determination unit 2203 that determines whether the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202 is valid or invalid; the display control unit 2204 executes processing corresponding to the detection result determined to be valid by the determination unit 2203, but does not execute processing corresponding to the detection result determined to be invalid by the determination unit 2203. The determination unit 2203 determines whether the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202 is valid or invalid based on the latest detection result determined to be valid.

According to the refrigerator control application 213 and the terminal device 2, before entering or exiting the user P indicated by the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202, processing corresponding to the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202 can be performed in consideration of which geofence the user P enters or exits from. Thus, the process based on the entry of the user P into the geofence and the process based on the exit from the geofence can be performed exactly.

When the detection result obtained by the obtaining unit 2202 indicates that the user P has exited from the 1 st geofence, the determining unit 2203 determines that the detection result obtained by the obtaining unit 2202 is valid when the latest detection result determined to be valid indicates that the user P has entered the 1 st geofence, and the determining unit 2203 determines that the detection result obtained by the obtaining unit 2202 is invalid when the latest detection result determined to be valid indicates that the user P has entered a region other than the 1 st geofence.

Thus, before the user P enters a certain geofence indicated by the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202, a process corresponding to the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202 can be performed in consideration of which geofence the user P enters or exits from. Thus, the process of entering the geofence based on the user P can be performed more surely.

When the detection result obtained by the obtaining unit 2202 indicates that the user P enters the 2 nd geofence, the determining unit 2203 determines that the detection result obtained by the obtaining unit 2202 is valid when the latest detection result determined to be valid indicates that the user P enters the other than the 1 st geofence, and the determining unit 2203 determines that the detection result obtained by the obtaining unit 2202 is invalid when the latest detection result determined to be valid indicates that the user P enters the 1 st geofence.

Thus, before the user P exits from a certain geofence indicated by the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202, a process corresponding to the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit 2202 can be performed in consideration of which geofence the user P enters or exits from. Thus, the process based on the exit of the user P from the geofence can be performed more surely.

The 1 st geofence is the self-home geofence JA. The 2 nd geofence is the shopping destination geofence KA.

Thus, even if the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA partially overlap, abut, or are adjacent, the process of exiting from the home geofence JA by the user P and the process of entering into the shopping destination geofence KA by the user P can be performed accurately.

The 1 st geofence is the shopping destination geofence KA. The 2 nd geofence is the home geofence JA.

Thus, even if the home geofence JA and the shopping destination geofence KA partially overlap, abut, or are adjacent, the process of entering the home geofence JA by the user P and the process of exiting the shopping destination geofence KA by the user P can be performed accurately.

The 1 st geofence is the shopping destination geofence KA. The 2 nd geofence is a different shopping destination geofence KA than the shopping destination geofence KA corresponding to the 1 st geofence.

Thus, even if different plural shopping destination geofences KA partially overlap, abut or are adjacent, processing based on the user P entering the shopping destination geofence KA and processing based on the user P exiting from the shopping destination geofence KA can be performed accurately.

The terminal device 2 has an operating system 211. Operating system 211 has the functionality to detect user P entering the 1 st geofence, user P exiting the 1 st geofence, user P entering the 2 nd geofence, and user P exiting the 2 nd geofence. The acquisition unit 2202 acquires a detection result based on the function of the operating system 211.

Depending on the specification of the operating system 211, restrictions may be placed on the operation of the refrigerator control application 213 in the background in order to suppress an increase in power consumption. For example, according to the specification of the operating system 211, the operation of the position of the terminal device 2 may not be performed in the background refrigerator control application 213. Thus, the refrigerator control application 213 obtains detection results of entry and exit of the user P with respect to the 1 st and 2 nd geofences from the operating system 211. Thus, even in the case where there is a limit to the operation in the background according to the specification of the operating system 211 of the terminal device 2, the process of entering the geofence based on the user P and the process of exiting from the geofence based on the user P can be performed with certainty.

The terminal device 2 includes a touch panel 22. The display control unit 2204 includes the notification card TC in the application UI2130 as processing corresponding to the detection result.

Thus, the exact notification card TC can be displayed on the touch panel 22 according to the entry and exit of the user P in the geofence and the exit of the user P from the geofence.

The refrigerator control application 213 is an application program that can be installed in the terminal device 2.

By installing the refrigerator control application 213, the terminal device 2 having no function of executing the processing corresponding to the detection result can be set as the terminal device 2 having the function. Therefore, the general-purpose terminal device 2 can be made to be the terminal device 2 capable of surely performing the process of entering the geofence by the user P and the process of exiting the geofence by the user P.

Or may be divided into more step units according to the processing contents. The division may be performed so that one step unit includes more processes. The order of the steps may be changed as appropriate within a range not affecting the gist of the present invention.
