Hereinafter, a configuration for the sliding type refrigerator will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

1 is a perspective view schematically showing a sliding refrigerator.

1, the sliding refrigerator 100 includes a frame 110, a door unit 120, a door moving unit 130, a magnetic body 140, an electromagnet 150, and a control unit 160.

The frame 110 has a space formed therein to accommodate food. That is, the interior of the frame 110 is configured to continuously receive cold air to enable refrigeration or freezing of food, and more specifically, it is preferable that the refrigeration or freezing area is divided into one side and the other side. In addition, the frame 110 installs a camera sensor (not shown) capable of recognizing food in the interior space, and recognizes the stored food using the installed camera sensor (not shown) to obtain data.

The door unit 120 is for opening and closing the interior space of the frame 100, and is provided to be slidable on the frame 100. By sliding the door unit 120 to the frame 110, the interior space of the frame 110 can be opened and closed. If it expands, the door part 120 can open the inner space of the frame 110 by moving from one side of the frame 110 to the center side. That is, the door unit 120 is configured to be a sliding movement from the front to the frame 110, it is possible to improve the space efficiency.

The door moving part 130 is for guiding sliding movement of the door part 120 and is connected to the frame 110 and the door part 120. That is, the door moving part 130 connects the frame 130 and the door part 120, and the door part 120 is movable along the door moving part 130, so that it is slidable to the frame 110.

The magnetic bodies 140 are provided on the rear side of the door unit 120 and are respectively provided along the outer circumference of the door unit 120. That is, the magnetic body 140 is provided along the outer circumference of the rear surface of the door unit 120, and is configured to be wrapped in rubber on the outside to be installed to correspond to the surface contacting the frame 110.

The electromagnet 150 is provided on the front of the frame 110 along the outer circumference, and is provided to correspond to the magnetic body 140. That is, when an electric current is applied to the electromagnet 150, it reacts with the magnetic body 140 so that the door unit 120 is in contact with the front surface of the frame 110 to be sealed. In addition, when the current applied to the electromagnet 150 is cut off, the electromagnet 150 does not react with the magnetic body 140, so that the door unit 120 can be easily moved.

The control unit 160 recognizes food stored in the interior space of the frame 110. In addition, the control unit 160 controls opening and closing of the door unit 120 using information on the recognized food.

The sliding door type refrigerator capable of monitoring food according to an embodiment of the present invention recognizes food inserted inside through a user's voice or uses a deep learning algorithm to recognize food by itself. In other words, the control unit 140 included in the inside of the refrigerator generates data on the recognized food, and controls opening and closing of the door unit 120 using the generated data.

Therefore, hereinafter, the control unit 160 included in the refrigerator 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a control unit illustrated in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 160 includes a data transmission/reception module 161, a voice recognition module 162, a frame division module 163, a food location calculation module 164, a food information generation module 165, and notifications. It includes a message sending module 166, a door control module 167 and a data collection module 168.

The data transmission/reception module 161 receives data on food. First, the data transmission/reception module 161 receives data on food from the camera module included in the frame 110 and transmits the received data to the food location calculation module 164 described later.

Also, the data transmission/reception module 161 transmits and receives data in conjunction with other devices located in the vicinity. In other words, the data transmission/reception module 161 automatically receives information on various foods to recognize foods. In other words, when acquiring information about food through the user's voice or camera module, the data transmission/reception module 161 may collect only biased information according to the user's consumption pattern and preference.

Accordingly, the data transmission/reception module 161 obtains food information from the clyde provided by the OPEN platform through the network, or acquires food information from another refrigerator.

The acquired food information includes food images and packaging images of various food companies. Therefore, the sliding refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention immediately recognizes that food is stored, and compares information about food received through the data transmission/reception module 161 to calculate food information. For example, assuming that food in the form of milk is stored in a refrigerator, the sliding-type refrigerator receives information about milk through the data transmission/reception module 161, and receives information about the received milk and recognized milk. By comparing the information, it is possible to determine that the stored food is "Seoul Milk".

Meanwhile, the data transmission/reception module 161 transmits information on the received food to the data collection module 168, and the data collection module 168 collects and accumulates the received information to form big data.

The voice recognition module 162 recognizes a command for food according to the voice input from the user. Then, the recognized command is transmitted to the food information generation module 165 to generate information about the food, or transmitted to the door control module 167 to drive the signal so that the door 120 can slide and move by the opening/closing range. Send it out.

The frame partitioning module 163 divides the internal space of the frame 110 into a plurality of storage units along the x, y, and z-axis directions, and sets the partitioned storage units to x, y, and z coordinate values.

Since the refrigerator is formed in the form of a cube, all spaces can be represented by x,y,z coordinates. Accordingly, the frame partitioning module 163 divides the x-axis into a short-term storage area, a medium-term storage area, and a long-term storage area from the one side to the center according to the frequency of the user and the storage period of food.

In addition, the frame division module 163 divides the y-axis into a short-term storage area, a mid-term storage area, and a long-term storage area from the front to the rear according to the frequency of the user and the time of staying in front of the refrigerator. Lastly, the frame partitioning module 163 divides the z-axis into a short-term storage area, a medium-term storage area, and a long-term storage area from the top to the bottom depending on the frequency of the user, the user's height, and the appropriate temperature for storing food.

The food location calculation module 164 calculates the location of the food using the location value of the storage section partitioned by the frame division module 163. The food location calculation module 164 analyzes a user's storage pattern and food characteristics, and provides an optimal location for food storage according to the analyzed results. That is, the location information of the food is provided according to the position coordinate value of the previously partitioned storage portion. For example, when a user inputs a voice command "apple" to store an apple, the food location calculation module 164 calculates a position value to which the apple should be stored, and the calculated position value is a door control module described later. (167).

In addition, the food location calculation module 164 calculates location information of food stored in the refrigerator. In other words, the food location calculation module 164 may calculate the location of the food in advance before the food is stored, or may recognize the location of the food already stored and calculate location information.

Therefore, when the user inputs the same voice command as "apple", the refrigerator 100 first determines whether the apple is stored in the refrigerator, and if the apple is stored, calculates the location value of the apple. The food location calculation module 164 then provides the calculated location value to the door control module 167, which will be described later.

The food information generation module 165 recognizes food stored in the refrigerator and generates information on the recognized food. At this time, the information about the food stored in the refrigerator is generated by recognizing a command according to a voice input from a user or recognizing food based on the information collected in the data collection module 168. That is, the food information generation module 165 combines the commands recognized by the voice recognition module 162 with data obtained from the camera sensor to generate information about the food. In addition, the food information generation module 165 compares and compares the information on the food collected in the data collection module 168 using the shape and characteristics of the stored food, and determines what kind of food is based on the determined result. Grasp and recognize.

On the other hand, the food information generation module 165 is a food packaged in the refrigerator, processed foods such as milk, cheese, tofu, and unpackaged natural foods such as fruits and vegetables, and sealed containers or black bags. In the state classified as food that cannot be judged, it is compared with information collected in the data collection module 168.

As described above, the food information generation module 165 that recognizes food generates information on food, and transmits the generated information to the data collection module 168.

The notification message sending module 166 calculates information about food that has not been touched by the user for a certain period of time, or food that has exceeded the expiration date, among the stored food, and transmits a warning sound or a voice message according to the calculated information.

The door control module 167 recognizes food stored in the refrigerator and transmits a signal to control the door 140 when storing or withdrawing the recognized food. At this time, the door unit control module 167 can determine the characteristics and storage level of the recognized food to calculate the opening and closing range, and can control the degree to which the door unit 140 slides and moves according to the calculated opening and closing range. The drive control signal is transmitted.

If this is signed in more detail, the door unit control module 167 determines the range to be opened and closed by moving the door unit 120 according to the position coordinate values of the compartments partitioned through the frame partitioning module 163, and determines The opening and closing range of the door unit 120 is calculated according to the result.

The data collection module 168 receives one or more information among food types, shapes, storage locations and storage periods, and continuously accumulates information on the received foods. Meanwhile, the data collection module 168 obtains information about food using a command modified through the voice recognition module 162, or through the data transmission/reception module 161 for food received from other refrigerators located nearby. Collect information.

As described above, the data collection module 168, which collects information about food by two methods, performs analysis and learning on food. Therefore, the data collection module 168 repeatedly identifies food stored in the refrigerator or recognizes the food stored in the refrigerator without recognizing the command based on the learned information, or provides an optimal storage location for the food to be stored.

Hereinafter, a method of monitoring food by the sliding refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Meanwhile, a method of monitoring food using a sliding refrigerator is divided into a method for storing food and a method for monitoring pre-stored food. Accordingly, FIG. 3 relates to a method for storing food in a sliding door refrigerator, and FIG. 4 relates to a method for monitoring pre-stored food.

3 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a method of storing food using the sliding-type refrigerator shown in FIG. 1.

Prior to storing food in the refrigerator, the control unit 160 determines the type and location of the stored food. In other words, the control unit 160 acquires data on a location where food is stored and a location where food is not stored using a camera module (not shown) included in the frame 110, and the acquired data Use to calculate information about the location where food can be stored.

As shown in FIG. 3, the voice recognition module 162 receives a voice by a user and recognizes only a command for food from among the voices of the user (S310).

On the other hand, the user generates different commands according to the case of withdrawing the food stored in the refrigerator and the case of storing the food in the refrigerator. For example, when the user inputs a command "kimchi", the voice recognition module 162 recognizes that the user is going to store kimchi in the refrigerator. On the other hand, when the user inputs the command "Open Kimchi", the voice recognition module 162 recognizes as providing information about the location of the kimchi stored in the refrigerator.

As described above, the voice recognition module 162 recognizes a command for food. Next, the food location calculation module 164 requests information about the food stored in the data collection module 168 in order to obtain location information in which the food to be stored should be stored (S320).

Thereafter, the data collection module 168 analyzes information on the user's pattern and characteristics of the food using the collected information, and transmits the analyzed information to the food location calculation module 164.

The food location calculation module 164 receiving the information on the food acquires the location value at which the food should be stored (S330).

Then, the obtained position value is transferred to the door control module 167 to calculate the open/close range (S340).

After calculating the opening/closing range of the door unit, a driving control signal is transmitted to allow current to be applied to the electromagnet 150. The electromagnet 150 to which the current has been applied slides the door unit 120 by the opening/closing range. Let (S350).

When the door unit 120 of the refrigerator is opened, the user receives food and closes the door unit 120.

When the door is closed, the food information generation module 165 generates information about the stored food, and transmits the generated information to the data collection module 168 (S360).

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for schematically explaining a method for monitoring pre-stored food using the sliding refrigerator shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, the voice recognition module 162 receives a voice by the user, and recognizes only a command for food from among the voices of the user (S410).

Next, the controller 160 determines whether food is stored in the refrigerator 100 according to the recognized command (S420). That is, the control unit 160 obtains location information about food using information about the food collected in the data collection module 168. At this time, the acquired location information is transmitted to the door control module 167.

The door control module 167 calculates the opening/closing range using the acquired position value (S430).

After calculating the opening/closing range of the door unit, a driving control signal is transmitted to allow current to be applied to the electromagnet 150. The electromagnet 150 to which the current has been applied slides the door unit 120 by the opening/closing range. Let (S440).

When the door unit 120 of the refrigerator is opened, the user draws out the stored food and closes the door unit 120.

When the door unit 120 is closed, the food information generation module 165 generates information about a location where an empty space is generated by drawing food, and transmits the generated information to the data collection module 168 (S450). .

On the other hand, in the state in which food is stored in the refrigerator, the notification message sending module 166 uses the information on the food stored in the data collection module 168 to continuously manage the food stored in the refrigerator.

Accordingly, the notification message sending module 166 generates a warning sound or a voice message when it is determined that information that has been withdrawn for food stored in the refrigerator is not generated or that the expiration date has elapsed. The user removes the food according to the message provided by the notification message sending module 166 or uses the stored food to prepare food.

Hereinafter, a method in which the control unit 160 calculates location information for food will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 5.

5 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a method of controlling the sliding door unit by the control unit illustrated in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the frame partitioning module 163 divides the internal space of the refrigerator into a plurality of storage units, and sets the plurality of partitioned storage units to x, y, and z coordinate values, respectively (S510).

When the storage unit is set to the x, y, and z coordinate values as described above, when the user receives food or withdraws the stored food, the food location calculation module 164 stores food stored in the data collection module 168. Request and receive information about the (S520).

Next, the food location calculation module 164 provides information on the optimal location for storing food or the location at which the food is stored at the present time according to the received food information (S530).

In other words, when the user keeps food, the food location calculation module 164 analyzes the user's storage pattern and food characteristics, and provides an optimal location for food storage according to the analyzed results. That is, the location information of the food is provided according to the position coordinate value of the previously partitioned storage portion. For example, when a user inputs a voice command "apple" to store an apple, the food location calculation module 164 calculates a position value where the apple should be stored.

On the other hand, when the user withdraws the food stored in the storage unit, the food location calculation module 164 detects the location of the food in response to a preset position coordinate set in the internal space of the frame 100. That is, the food location calculation module 164 recognizes the stored food using data obtained from the camera sensor provided in the internal space of the frame 100 and information about the food stored in the data collection module 168. . Then, the food location calculation module 164 calculates the location of the food.

Meanwhile, the food location calculation module 164, which grasps the location of the food, calculates the location information using the x,y,z coordinate values (S540).

Next, the food location calculation module 164 provides the door unit control module 167 with a coordinate value for a location to be stored in the calculated food or a location in which the food is stored.

The door unit control module 167 calculates the opening and closing range of the door unit using the received coordinate values, and transmits a driving control signal (S550).

In accordance with the transmitted driving control signal, a current is applied to the electromagnet 150 to slide the door unit 120 by an opening/closing range (S560).
