Description
The present invention relates to a control method of a refrigerator.
In general, a refrigerator is a device for storing food at a low temperature. The refrigerator may include any one of a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment.
In the case of the conventional refrigerator, it could simply perform a function for storing food at a low temperature. However, in recent years, the need for additional functions in addition to the food storage function is increasing.
An object of the present invention relates to a control method of a refrigerator capable of carrying out the storage management of food in addition to the original cooling function.
A control method of a refrigerator according to an aspect includes adding or deleting food information and information necessary for managing food to a food management target; Storing the added food information, information necessary for management of the food, deleted food information, and information necessary for management of the food; And when the display of the deleted food information and information necessary for the management of the food is required, displaying the deleted food information and the information necessary for the management of the food.
According to the proposed invention, since the information of the food stored in the outside of the refrigerator can be checked without opening the refrigerator door to check the food inside the refrigerator, there is an advantage that the user's convenience is improved.
In addition, since the consumption history of the food can be checked, the user can check the food consumption pattern, there is an advantage that can be reflected in the food management later by monitoring the existing food management status.
