The freshness of the food material may be determined based on the current time, the shelf life of the food material, and the starting time. The starting time may be the actual production date of the food material input by the user, such as the production date 2021 of the bread, 5 months and 1 days, or the time of placing the food material into the storage room.

In some embodiments, food material information corresponding to existing food materials in the storage compartment is stored in a local food material information set. The existing food material refers to food material currently stored in a refrigerator.

In other embodiments, the local food material information set may further store food material information corresponding to the historical food material. The history food material refers to food material stored in the refrigerator in the past and having been currently removed from the refrigerator. In particular, the existing food material and the history food material may be distinguished by storing the status flag, for example, the food material information of the history food material is marked as a moving-out status, and the food material information of the existing food material is marked as a putting-in status.

In other embodiments, the food material information of the existing food material and the food material information of the historical food material are stored in different sets of food material information.

In some embodiments, after the food management application is started, the food material information of the existing food material is read from the local food material information set, for example, the food material information in which the storage state is the put state is read. And then displaying a food material management interface according to the food material information of the existing food material, wherein the food material management interface comprises food material icons drawn according to the food material information, so that the existing food material in the refrigerator is displayed in the form of icons, pictures and texts and the like as many as possible. In addition, various functional controls, such as an RFID tag editing control, a food adding control, a menu recommending control, etc., can be displayed in the food management interface, so that the user can operate to trigger the controller 220 to realize corresponding functions.

The following describes a user interface on the side of the intelligent refrigerator according to the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings, and fig. 4 is a user interface, specifically an exemplary food material management interface, shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 4, the food management interface includes an RFID tag editing control 301, a menu recommending control 302, an add food control 306, and food display areas corresponding to respective storage compartments, such as a food display area 303 corresponding to a refrigerating compartment, a food display area 304 corresponding to a temperature changing compartment, and a food display area 305 corresponding to a cooling compartment. Each of the food material display areas displays therein a food material icon corresponding to each food material in the storage compartment, such as mutton, beef, and pork in the food material display area 303, sausage and tortilla in the food material display area 304, and lettuce and carrot in the food material display area 305. Each food material icon includes a food material picture and a food material name.

In some embodiments, a user may enter the above-described label editing instructions by manipulating RFID label editing control 301 in the food management interface.

In some embodiments, the electronic device associated with the intelligent refrigerator may also be an electronic device associated with the intelligent refrigerator implementation based on the identity information. The identity information may be device information, account information, etc., for example, an account number logged in by the food management application.

For example, an account logged in by a food management application on an intelligent refrigerator is referred to as a main service account. Then, the terminal device associated with the refrigerator may be other terminal devices logging in the main service account, for example, when the user installs the food management application on the intelligent cooking device and logs in the food management application on the intelligent cooking device by using the main service account, the intelligent cooking device is called as the terminal device associated with the refrigerator. The terminal device associated with the intelligent refrigerator can be a terminal device for logging in a sub-service account bound with the main service account, for example, when a user installs a food management application on the intelligent cooking device and logs in the food management application on the intelligent cooking device by using the sub-service account bound with the main service account, the intelligent cooking device is called as the terminal device associated with the refrigerator.

As another example, the terminal device associated with the smart refrigerator may be a device bound through device information. For example, by binding the device information of the intelligent cooking device as described above with the device of the intelligent refrigerator, it becomes a terminal device associated with the intelligent refrigerator.

It should be understood that the intelligent cooking device refers to a cooking device with an intelligent terminal, the intelligent terminal is provided with basic components of electronic devices such as a display, a processor memory and the like, and the intelligent terminal enables the cooking device to have functions such as image display, data receiving and transmitting, data processing and the like. Based on these functions, intelligent cooking appliances generally have one-touch cooking functions. Taking an intelligent oven as an example, a user can interact with an interface object displayed on a screen of the intelligent refrigerator to search, view or select a menu, or start cooking, and after the cooking is started, the oven can automatically control parameters such as time, temperature and the like according to cooking information included in the menu selected by the user, so that a one-key cooking function is realized. Also, the user may interact with an interface object displayed on the screen of the smart oven to implement a one-touch cooking function. It should be noted that most intelligent cooking devices are limited by structures and placement positions, and it is difficult to set a large screen, and food materials to be cooked are stored in the intelligent refrigerator. And viewing stored food materials on a screen of the intelligent refrigerator, selecting a menu corresponding to the food materials, and starting a one-key cooking function, so that the operation of a user is facilitated. It should be noted that, for convenience of the following description, a food material to be cooked by a user is referred to as a target food material.

The cooking task performed on the target food material by the intelligent refrigerator side will be further described with reference to fig. 5 to 13.

Specifically, after the user selects the food control corresponding to "beef" in the food display area 303, the user triggers to enter an interface for acquiring a specific target food. In a practical scenario, a user may store multiple food materials in a storage room of a smart refrigerator. Referring to fig. 5, the beef specifically includes a plurality of beef such as "beef 1", "beef 2", and "beef 3". The multiple pieces of beef can be beef with different weights at the same position, or beef with the same or different weights at different positions. The user may acquire a more specific target food material, and the identification control 502 of the target food material and the photo control 501 of the target food material are included in the interface for acquiring the specific target food material. The identification control 502 of the target food is used for displaying information such as the name, weight, and position of the target food. The photo control 501 of the target food material is used to display a photo of the target food material, which is taken by a camera in the intelligent refrigerator and stored when the target food material is stored in the intelligent refrigerator. When the user takes the target food out of the refrigerator, confirmation can be performed according to the photo displayed by the photo control 501, so that wrong taking is avoided. The user needs to operate the identification control 502 of the target food material to complete the selection of the target food material, and searches the menu after the selection of the target food material is completed so as to facilitate the subsequent cooking task.

In some embodiments, the recipe recommendation control 302 in the food material management interface is operated after the target food material selection is completed, and a recipe recommendation instruction is entered. Referring to fig. 10, in S901, the intelligent refrigerator operates a selection of a target food control in response to receiving a user input. In S902, a recipe recommendation request is sent to a server, where the recipe recommendation request includes at least a food item identifier corresponding to a target food item control. The food material identification of the target food material is the food material identification of which the storage state is the put state in the local food material information set. In S903, after receiving the recipe recommendation request, the server searches a recipe recommendation set according to the food material identifier, where the recipe recommendation set includes at least one recipe identifier that matches the target food material identifier. In S904, the server returns the searched menu recommendation set to the intelligent refrigerator. In S905, after receiving the menu recommendation set returned by the server, the intelligent refrigerator displays a menu recommendation page on the user interface according to the menu identifier therein. The menu recommendation page comprises menu controls corresponding to the menu identifications. At this point, the user may select a recipe by clicking on a recipe control.

In the specific implementation, receiving a selection operation of a target food material control input by a user, and sending a menu recommendation request to a server, wherein the menu recommendation request comprises a food material identifier corresponding to the target food material control.
