The third step of turning on the light to display the selected menu if it is determined to be pressed, the fourth step of determining whether the lock release button is pressed, and the input of the selected menu if the lock release button is determined to be pressed The refrigerator is operated.
In addition, the display control method for a refrigerator of the present invention is characterized in that the light is turned off when the user presses the lock release button again within a predetermined time after the light is turned on in the third step.
In addition, the display control method for a refrigerator of the present invention is characterized in that the light is turned off after a predetermined time since the light is turned on in the third step.
According to the display control method for a refrigerator of the present invention as described above, there are the following effects.
By pressing the lock release button, the light is turned on and off to check the operating status, and the display unit is configured to be turned on or off according to the user's selection to increase energy efficiency.
1 is a flow chart showing a display control method for a refrigerator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a state diagram of the refrigerator display unit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same parts as in the prior art will be referred to the related art, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The display control method for a refrigerator according to the present invention may include determining whether or not the storage is used (S1) and turning off the light when not in use (S1), and determining whether or not the lock release button is pressed (S1); S3) and a third step S4 of turning on the light to display the selected menu when it is determined that the unlocking button is pressed.
In addition, the display control method for a refrigerator according to the present invention includes determining whether or not the storage compartment is used (S1) and turning off the light when not in use (S2), and determining whether or not the lock release button is pressed. And (S3), a third step (S4) of turning on the light to display the selected menu when it is determined that the unlock button is pressed, and a fourth step (S5) of determining whether or not the lock release button is pressed; If it is determined that the lock release button is pressed, the refrigerator is operated according to the input of the selected menu (S6).
In addition, the display control method for a refrigerator of the present invention is characterized in that the light is turned off when the user presses the lock release button again within a predetermined time after the light is turned on in the third step (S4).
In addition, the display control method for a refrigerator of the present invention is characterized in that the light is turned off when a predetermined time elapses after the light is turned on in the third step (S4).
As shown in Figure 2, kimchi refrigerator is divided into upper compartment, middle compartment, Hakan. Under the upper compartment, the middle compartment and the lower compartment, operation buttons are configured to operate the respective functions. The upper compartment consists of a fermentation science button for selecting freezing, refrigeration, and kimchi storage mode, and a storage button for strong storage, standard storage, and medicine storage mode. In the case of the middle compartment, it consists of a compartment for storing kimchi or vegetables, fermentation science button for selecting radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi, water kimchi or vegetable / fruit, and kimchi storage mode, and storage button for selecting storage mode like the upper compartment. It consisted of In the case of Hakan, it was configured in the same manner as the above-mentioned Jungkan.
1 is a flowchart illustrating a display control method for a refrigerator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The display control method for a refrigerator of the present invention is as follows.
It is determined whether the storage is used (S1).
The light is turned on when in use, and the light is turned off when not in use (S2).
The use of the reservoir refers to a time for determining a button for opening or closing a door or selecting a function. When the door is open, the light is turned on and when the door is closed, the light is turned off.
It is determined whether the lock release button is pressed or not (S3).
If it is determined that the unlock button is pressed, the light is turned on to display the selected menu (S4).
When the user wants to double check the selected function, the unlock button is pressed and the light is turned on.
In addition, it is determined whether or not the lock release button is pressed (S5).
If it is determined that the lock release button is pressed, the refrigerator is operated according to the input of the selected menu.
For example, when Kimchi storage is designated as a weak storage in the upper compartment and you want to change it to a strong storage, the user presses the lock release button and then the user presses the strong storage button, and the refrigerator operates according to the selected menu.
After the light is turned on (S4), if the user presses the unlock button again within a predetermined time, the light is turned off.
For example, if the user wants to turn off the light after checking the selected function while the light is turned on within the predetermined 3 seconds, the light is turned off by pressing the release button again.
In addition, when the user presses the unlock button, the light is turned off when it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed since the light is turned on in the third step of turning on the light.
2 is a state diagram illustrating an operation of the display unit.
When all the lights on the display while the product is running are turned on (see the left side of Fig. 2), when the door is opened or closed, or the user presses the lock release button after a certain time, the lights on the display are turned off. (See Figure 2 right). At this time, pressing the release button will change all the display units to the on state as shown on the left.
In the present invention, the release button is configured to turn on and off the light, the release button is configured to select a menu.
That is, the present invention can reduce power consumption by turning off all the lights of the display unit when the product is in operation but not used by the user.
In addition, all operations of the present invention are determined and determined by the control unit, and if you only want to open the door or to see each function only when using the pressing the release button can check the current operating state.
As described above, although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art various modifications or variations of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below Can be carried out.
