  • the operating unit and the communication interface are connected to one another via a radio link, in particular via Bluetooth.
  • the operating unit or the user interface of the refrigerator and / or freezer can thus establish an in particular wireless data connection to the communication interface. Any screen content can be displayed on the control unit via this data connection. Applications can thus be installed, visualized and / or operated via the operating system of the communication interface or the communication module.
  • the wireless connection of the control unit and communication interface makes it possible to use the invention on electronic devices such as tablets or smartphones already available in a household and / or an existing refrigerator and / or freezer to a refrigerator and / or freezer according to the invention without constructional effort. or expand the freezer.
  • the control unit of the refrigerator and / or freezer can function as a display unit of the communication module or the communication interface or the refrigerator and / or freezer, detached from a direct physical connection to the control electronics of the refrigerator and / or freezer.
  • the operating unit can function as a wireless and / or portable display or a "wireless display" of the refrigerator and / or freezer or the control electronics of the refrigerator and / or freezer.
  • This display can be adapted particularly flexibly to the applications that can be used with it, among other things because it can be detached from the structure of the refrigerator and / or freezer.
  • the control unit or the user interface of the display shows the apps selected or downloaded from an app store, for example, and enables the display of the control unit to be individualized with regard to the arrangement, the background, the displayed images, applications, etc. use more or less information or more or less applications by means of its control unit according to individual requirements.
  • Additional possible applications for expanding the functions of the refrigerator and / or freezer can be, for example, calendar functions, message functions and / or other applications or corresponding apps, which can be individually set and / or displayed by means of the operating unit.
  • the refrigerator and / or freezer is designed to carry out and / or support functional expansions of the operating unit. It is conceivable that displays, output devices or other hardware components are provided on the refrigerator and / or freezer, via which information on the respective applications of the extended functionalities can be displayed. It can be the case that, for example, information on the display provided on the refrigerator and / or freezer current weather conditions are displayed. It is also conceivable that cameras, microphones and / or other sensor components are provided on the refrigerator and / or freezer, which can be accessed by means of the additional applications or which can be influenced by means of the additional applications. Of course, only one of the components mentioned can also be provided in each case.
  • the operating unit functions or functions as a display unit of the communication interface or the communication module.
  • the two terms communication interface and communication module can refer to the same component. It is therefore conceivable that, for example, by means of the operating unit, both additional applications for expanding functions can be obtained, for example from the Internet, and at the same time the operating unit is used to display essential functions of the refrigerator and / or freezer or the communication interface.
  • the communication interface is coupled to the control electronics of the refrigerator and / or freezer and can access operating data of the refrigerator and / or freezer and / or adjust operating parameters of the refrigerator and / or freezer, which are also displayed accordingly by means of the control unit can be.
  • the communication interface is modular, with a power supply that is independent of the rest of the refrigerator and / or freezer.
  • the communication interface is therefore particularly easily retrofitted to an existing refrigerator and / or freezer, since no structural interventions or further changes to the configuration or the architecture of the refrigerator and / or freezer are necessary for this.
  • a retrofitted communication interface is coupled to the refrigerator and / or freezer for data transmission via a corresponding slot.
  • the applications for functional expansion can be paid for by means of the operating unit.
  • the operating unit can access or include corresponding payment programs and thus enable the functionality of the refrigerator and / or freezer to be expanded in a particularly simple manner.
  • the operating unit can be the user interface of the refrigerator and / or freezer and / or a tablet and / or a smartphone.
  • the term user interface can mean any type of operating unit which can be coupled to control electronics of the refrigerator and / or freezer to control it via radio and / or physical connection.
  • Such user interfaces can be provided by the manufacturer of the refrigerator and / or freezer together with the refrigerator and / or freezer and / or be designed solely for controlling / regulating the refrigerator and / or freezer. The user interfaces can therefore not have any functionality beyond the control / regulation of the refrigerator and / or freezer.
  • the structure of the refrigerator and / or freezer can be kept particularly simple, since, for example, tablets or smartphones already available in a household can be accessed by the user by uploading corresponding data or apps and connecting the smartphone or smartphone.
  • of the tablet with the communication interface can be used to carry out the invention and in particular also for the usual control of the refrigerator and / or freezer.
  • more than a single control unit can be used, which means that there are several people who may be in different locations can, is made possible to interact with the refrigerator and / or freezer or with its communication module.
  • the applications can, in particular, be visualized on the operating unit at will.
  • the operating unit can comprise, for example, a touch screen on which the visualization of the applications can take place and on which symbols or areas of the applications can be arranged at will or almost at will.
  • the user can not only visualize the applications, but he can also transmit information and, in particular, control commands to the communication interface via appropriate inputs on the touchscreen.
  • the operating unit and / or the communication interface can be or are connected to an in particular external server.
  • the connection can be made via the Internet or a corresponding WLAN connection and can be used, in particular, to download applications to expand functions.
  • the operating unit and the communication interface can be physically connected to one another for installing, uninstalling, visualizing and / or operating security-relevant applications.
  • the physical connection of the two components means that they can be brought into physical contact with one another via a cable or a slot, for example to change security-relevant applications accordingly. In this way, undesired adjustment or manipulation of security-relevant applications by an unauthorized person via a single radio connection between the operating unit and the communication interface can be avoided or prevented.
  • FIG. 1 shows the schematic structure of a refrigerator and / or freezer 1 according to the invention with an operating unit 2, which can be designed as a smartphone, for example, and with at least one communication interface 3, which is for example in an upper area of the refrigerator and / or freezer 1 with this or . is connected to its control / regulation electronics.
