以及图8是根据本发明另一个实施例的冰箱的控制方法的流程图。
具体实施方式
本实施例首先提供了一种冰箱，图1根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的示意图，图2是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的示意框图。该冰箱包括：门体10、门体开闭检测模块20、射频识别模块30、信息处理模块40以及提示模块50。
门体10可开闭地设置于冰箱的前侧。门体开闭检测模块20检测门体10的开闭状态。射频识别模块30在带有电子标签的食物被放置于冰箱之前，获取电子标签的信息。信息处 理模块40预先将冰箱的储藏空间划分多个区域，在检测到冰箱门体10开启之后，根据信息以及预先设定的食物放置规则确定食物的建议放置区域，在食物放入冰箱内部后，确定食物的实际放置区域，并判断实际放置区域与建议放置区域是否相同。提示模块50在实际放置区域与建议放置区域不相同的情况下提示用户将食物放置在建议放置区域。
门体开闭检测模块20检测冰箱门体10的开闭状态，在本实施例中门体开闭检测模块20可以包括压力传感器，压力传感器可以根据自身所受到的压力大小发送不同强度的电信号。压力传感器可以安装在冰箱箱体与门体10的接触面上，在门体10打开和关闭时，压力传感器所感受到的压力不同，通过向冰箱主控板发送不同强度的电信号来确定门的开闭状态。
射频识别RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)技术是一种通信技术，可通过无线电讯号识别特定目标并读写相关数据，而无需识别系统与特定目标之间建立机械或光学接触。其最重要的优点是非接触识别，它能穿透雪、雾、冰、涂料、尘垢和条形码无法使用的恶劣环境阅读标签，并且阅读速度极快，大多数情况下不到100毫秒。因此，在智能冰箱中RFID技术具有巨大的应用前景，且能对冰箱的智能化带来无法预知的巨大空间。
在冰箱领域，可通过在冰箱上配置RFID电子标签，以实现在生产、运输、使用过程中对冰箱的管控；还可在冰箱上配置RFID读写器30，在存储食物上配置电子标签，实现冰箱对食物的智能管理。存储食物上配置的电子标签可以包含食物的名称、种类、生产日期、保质期、重量等各种食物的基本信息。
在本实施例中，射频识别模块30可以包括RFID读写器30，RFID读写器30可以设置于冰箱门体10前侧，且RFID读写器30具有一定的检测范围，在用户手持食物靠近冰箱并准备放入冰箱内部时就能够检测到电子标签，并读取标签信息。
信息处理模块40预先将冰箱的储藏空间划分多个区域，图3是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的各个区域90的示意图；图4是根据本发明另一个实施例的冰箱的各个区域90的示意图。在本实施例中，如图3所示，可以将冰箱内的储藏空间分隔为6层，每一层还包含左右两个区域90，也就是说，整个冰箱被划分为12个区域90。在另外一些实施例中，如图4所示，冰箱每层还可以包含8个区域90。
上述RFID读写器30可以获取食物的种类，食物放置规则可以包括：按照食物种类对食物进行放置。例如，冰箱门架区域温度相对最高，方便拿取，适宜放置一些在室温下也能暂存，不容易坏或者马上要吃掉的食品，比如鸡蛋、奶酪、开封后的饮料、调味品等，当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物为上述多种食物之一时，确定食物的建议放置区域为冰箱门架区域。又例如，购买后24小时之内要吃的排酸冷藏肉、冰鲜的鱼和其它水产品， 应该放在冰箱冷藏室最下面的保鲜盒内。因此，当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物为上述多种食物之一时，确定食物的建议放置区域为保鲜层区域(图3所示的A1或B1区域90)。
上述RFID读写器30还可以获取食物的保质期，食物放置规则可以包括：按照食物保质期对食物进行放置。例如，冰箱内部靠近门体10的区域90优先放置保质时间较短的食物，当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物保质期较短的情况下，确定食物的建议放置区域90为冰箱内部靠近门体10的区域90，以便于用户拿取并在短时间内食用。当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物保质期较长时，确定食物的建议放置区域为冰箱内部远离门体10的区域90。
上述RFID读写器30还可以获取食物的各种特征信息，冰箱可以根据食物的任何一种特征信息生成食物放置规则。例如，上述RFID读写器30还可以获取食物的热量值，并建议将高热量食物放置于远离用户视线的区域90内，或是冰箱内部较为偏僻的区域90内，以防止用户在开启冰箱时，第一时间发现高热量食物并引发食欲。
图5是根据本发明另一个实施例的冰箱的示意框图。在本实施例中，冰箱还包括食物分布获取模块60，食物分布获取模块60获取冰箱内部所有区域90的食物分布情况。信息处理模块40根据食物分布情况设定食物放置规则。食物分布获取模块60可以包括拍摄装置，拍摄装置用于对冰箱内部进行拍摄，以确定食物的分布情况，冰箱可以根据当前冰箱内部的食物分布情况生成食物放置规则，例如，拍摄装置检测到肉类食物主要集中于A区域90，蔬菜主要集中于B区域90，当RFID读写器30识别到有肉类食物将要被放入冰箱时，建议用户将食物放置于A区域90以便于食物分类。食物分布获取模块60还可以包括设置于每个区域90的压力传感器41，压力传感器41用于感测每个区域90食物的多少，根据每个区域90食物量的多少来设置食物放置规则。例如，RFID读写器30识别到有某种食物将要被放入冰箱时，通过检测食物种类确定上述食物优选放入A1或者B1区域90，此时，通过压力传感器41检测到A1区域90设置有一定量食物，而B1区域90没有食物，冰箱建议用户将食物放置于A1区域90，以较少用户开启B1区域90的次数，以节省能耗。若通过压力传感器41检测到A1区域90的食物已经放满，而B1区域90还有剩余空间，则冰箱建议用户将食物放置于B1区域90，以合理利用储藏空间。
在本实施例中，提示模块50包括LED灯51。LED灯51照亮建议放置区域90以提示用户将食物放置在建议放置区域90。如图4所示，在与每个区域90相接触的冰箱箱体壁上均设置一个LED灯51，以用于点亮该区域90内部空间。
具体地，当RFID读写器30读取到电子标签信息后，确定出该食物的建议放置区域。之后，用户打开冰箱门体10，准备将该食物放入冰箱内部，此时，建议放置区域的LED灯51开启并点亮建议放置区域，以引导用户将食物放置于该区域90内，同时为用户提供更加明亮的视野。
在本实施例中，信息处理模块40包括多个传感器41。多个传感器41可以为压力传感器41或者是红外传感器41，其设置于每个区域90内，配置成分别感测每个区域90是否被放入食物。信息处理模块40还将被放入食物的区域90确定为实际放置区域。
在提示模块50对用户进行提示引导后，多个传感器41开启检测，当某个区域90内的传感器41感测到有食物被送入该区域90内，则确定该区域90为食物的实际放置区域。例如，在图3所示的冰箱中，压力传感器41感测到A2区域90的压力增加，证明A2区域90为食物的实际放置区域，又例如，位于B1区域90的红外传感器41感测到有物品进入，证明B1区域90为食物的实际放置区域。
在本实施例中，提示模块50还在实际放置区域与建议放置区域不相同的情况下提示用户将食物放置在建议放置区域。如果用户未按照上述冰箱提供的建议放置区域放置食物，提示模块50会对用户进行提示，提示模块50可以包括信号灯或语音播放器等。
本实施例的冰箱还包括：识别模块70和人感模块80。识别模块70门体10关闭后，识别冰箱内部的食物和每个食物所处的区域90。识别模块70可以包括设置于冰箱内部的摄像机，摄像机拍摄冰箱内部图像。图像通过冰箱本地识别，或是上传到网络进行识别，确定出冰箱内部所有食物和每个食物所处的区域90。上述识别模块70还可以包括RFID检测器等任意一种能够检测食物种类以及食物所处区域90的装置。
人感模块80感测是否有用户靠近冰箱。在本实施例中，人感模块80可以为红外传感器，上述红外传感器设置于冰箱门体10上，当每次有用户靠近冰箱时，红外传感器接收到人体红外信号，确定有用户靠近冰箱。
信息处理模块40判断冰箱内部的食物是否均放置于各自的建议放置区域。
提示模块50，还配置成在每一次检测到用户靠近冰箱时，提示用户将未放置于建议放置区域的食物重新放置在建议放置区域。例如，识别模块70在A1区域90检测到有肉类，但是根据食物放置规则，肉类应该放置于B2区域90，该食物的实际放置区域与建议放置区域不符，当每一次检测到用户靠近冰箱时，提示用户将A1区域90的肉类重新放置于B2区域90。
在本实施例中，提示模块50还包括显示屏52，显示屏52设置于门体10前侧，配置成 显示出未放置于建议放置区域的食物的名称、建议放置区域和实际放置区域以便于用户操作。例如，识别模块70在A1区域90检测到有肉类，但是根据食物放置规则，肉类应该放置于B2区域90。此时，显示屏52会显示出冰箱内部的示意图，在上述示意图中A1区域90做出红色提醒，并出现文字提示建议用户重新放置该食物到B2区域90.，比如出现的文字可以为“请将A1区域90的牛肉放置于B2区域90”。
本实施例还提供了一种冰箱的感应照明方法，图6是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的控制方法的示意图，其包括：
步骤S602，预先将冰箱的储藏空间划分多个区域90，冰箱可以根据其内部温度、湿度的不同进行区域90划分，例如冰箱内部可以按照温度的高低不同分成若干区域90。冰箱还可以根据其内部构造进行区域90划分，例如可以划分为靠近门体10的区域90，远离门体10的区域90，和冰箱门架区域90等。
步骤S604，在带有电子标签的食物被放置于冰箱之前，利用射频识别获取电子标签的信息。射频识别模块30对食物带有的电子标签进行识别，射频识别模块30可以包括RFID读写器30，RFID读写器30可以设置于冰箱门体10前侧，且RFID读写器30具有一定的检测范围，在用户手持食物靠近冰箱并准备放入冰箱内部时就能够检测到电子标签，并读取标签信息。标签信息可以包含食物的名称、种类、生产日期、保质期、重量等各种食物信息。
步骤S606，检测冰箱门体10开启，门体开闭检测模块20检测冰箱门体10的开闭状态，在本实施例中门体开闭检测模块20可以包括压力传感器，压力传感器可以根据自身所受到的压力大小发送不同强度的电信号。压力传感器可以安装在冰箱箱体与门体10的接触面上，在门体10打开和关闭时，压力传感器所感受到的压力不同，通过向冰箱主控板发送不同强度的电信号来确定门的开闭状态。
步骤S608，若步骤S606的判断结果为是，根据信息以及预先设定的食物放置规则确定食物的建议放置区域。食物放置规则可以包括：按照食物种类对食物进行放置。例如，冰箱门架区域90温度相对最高，方便拿取，适宜放置一些在室温下也能暂存，不容易坏或者马上要吃掉的食品，比如鸡蛋、奶酪、开封后的饮料、调味品等，当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物为上述多种食物之一时，确定食物的建议放置区域为冰箱门架区域90。又例如，购买后24小时之内要吃的排酸冷藏肉、冰鲜的鱼和其它水产品，应该放在冰箱冷藏室最下面的保鲜盒内。因此，当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物为上述多种食物之一时，确定食物的建议放置区域为保鲜层区域90。
上述RFID读写器30还可以获取食物的保质期，食物放置规则可以包括：按照食物保 质期对食物进行放置。例如，冰箱内部靠近门体10的区域90优先放置保质时间较短的食物，当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物保质期较短的情况下，确定食物的建议放置区域90为冰箱内部靠近门体10的区域90，以便于用户拿取并在短时间内食用。当RFID读写器30检测到将要被放入的食物保质期较长时，确定食物的建议放置区域90为冰箱内部远离门体10的区域90。
上述RFID读写器30还可以获取食物的各种特征信息，冰箱可以根据食物的任何一种特征信息生成食物放置规则。例如，上述RFID读写器30还可以获取食物的热量值，并建议将高热量食物放置于远离用户视线的区域90内，或是冰箱内部较为偏僻的区域90内，以防止用户在开启冰箱时，第一时间发现高热量食物并引发食欲。
步骤S610，提示用户将食物放置在建议放置区域。在冰箱每个区域90内均设置有LED灯51。LED灯51照亮建议放置区域以提示用户将食物放置在建议放置区域。具体地，当RFID读写器30读取到电子标签信息后，确定出该食物的建议放置区域。之后，用户打开冰箱门体10，准备将该食物放入冰箱内部，此时，建议放置区域的LED灯51开启并点亮建议放置区域，以引导用户将食物放置于该区域90内，同时为用户提供更加明亮的视野。
步骤S612，在食物放入冰箱内部后，确定食物的实际放置区域。冰箱每个区域90均设置一个传感器41。多个传感器41可以为压力传感器41或者是红外传感器41，其设置于每个区域90内，配置成分别感测每个区域90是否被放入食物。
在对用户进行提示引导后，多个传感器41开启检测，当某个区域90内的传感器41感测到有食物被送入该区域90内，则确定该区域90为食物的实际放置区域。例如，压力传感器41感测到A2区域90的压力增加，证明A2区域90为食物的实际放置区域，又例如，位于B1区域90的红外传感器41感测到有物品进入，证明B1区域90为食物的实际放置区域。
步骤S614，判断实际放置区域与建议放置区域是否相同。
步骤S616，如果步骤S614的判断结果为是，冰箱不进行提示。
步骤S618，如果步骤S614的判断结果为否，提示用户将食物重新放置在建议放置区域，如果用户未按照上述冰箱提供的建议放置区域放置食物，提示模块50会对用户进行提示，提示模块50可以包括信号灯或语音播放器等。在另外一些实施例中，也可以将食物区域90放置错误的信息显示在冰箱的显示屏52上以提示用户。
图7是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的控制方法的流程图，该方法依次执行以下步骤：

步骤S806，判断冰箱内部的食物均放置于各自的建议放置区域，按照上述食物放置规则判断每种食物是否均放置于建议放置区域。
步骤S808，若步骤S806的判断结果为是，即所有食物的放置区域90均符合食物放置规则，则冰箱不进行提示操作。
步骤S810，若步骤S806的判断结果为否，在每一次检测到用户靠近冰箱时，提示用户将未放置于建议放置区域的食物重新放置在建议放置区域。例如，识别模块70在A1区域90检测到有肉类，但是根据食物放置规则，肉类应该放置于B2区域90，该食物的实际放置区域与建议放置区域不符，当每一次检测到用户靠近冰箱时，提示用户将A1区域90的肉类重新放置于B2区域90。
在本实施例中，可以通过显示屏52进行提示操作，显示屏52设置于门体10前侧，可以显示出未放置于建议放置区域的食物的名称、建议放置区域和实际放置区域以便于用户操作。例如，识别模块70在A1区域90检测到有肉类，但是根据食物放置规则，肉类应该放置于B2区域90。此时，显示屏52会显示出冰箱内部的示意图，在上述示意图中A1区域90做出红色提醒，并出现文字提示建议用户重新放置该食物到B2区域90.，比如出现的文字可以为“请将A1区域90的牛肉放置于B2区域90”。
本实施例提供了一种冰箱的控制方法，其包括：预先将冰箱的储藏空间划分多个区域90，在带有电子标签的食物被放置于冰箱之前，利用射频识别获取电子标签的信息，在检测到冰箱门体10开启之后，根据信息以及预先设定的食物放置规则确定食物的建议放置区域，并提示用户将食物放置在建议放置区域，在食物放入冰箱内部后，确定食物的实际放置区域，若判断实际放置区域与建议放置区域不相同，提示用户将食物重新放置在建议放置区域。本 实施例的冰箱的控制方法能够在用户向冰箱存放食物时，根据食物信息(例如食物种类)，提供食物的建议放置区域，并提示用户将食物放置在建议放置区域，智能引导用户合理放置食物，避免了用户在购买大量食物后存放杂乱无章，同时提高了用户使用体验。
进一步地，本实施例的冰箱的控制方法获取冰箱内部所有区域90的食物分布情况并根据食物分布情况设定食物放置规则。本实施例的方法根据冰箱内部的食物分布确定食物放置规则，能够使得同一种类的食物尽可能地放置于同一区域90，做到食物的分门别类，同时能够避免某一区域90食物堆放过满，影响冰箱使用效果，使得食物分布更加合理。
至此，本领域技术人员应认识到，虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的多个示例性实施例，但是，在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下，仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此，本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
