Control the refrigerator 1.

The refrigerator control system 1000 includes a refrigerator control server 3. The refrigerator control server 3 is a server device that controls the refrigerator 1. The refrigerator control server 3 connects to the global network GN. In FIG. 1, the refrigerator control server 3 is represented by one block, but this does not necessarily mean that the refrigerator control server 3 is composed of a single server device. For example, the refrigerator control server 3 may be configured to include a plurality of server devices having different processing contents.

Next, the configurations of the refrigerator 1, the terminal device 2, and the refrigerator control server 3 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configurations of the refrigerator 1, the terminal device 2, and the refrigerator control server 3.

First, the configuration of the refrigerator 1 will be described. The refrigerator 1 includes a refrigerator control unit 16, a refrigerator communication unit 17, and a cooling unit 18.

The refrigerator control unit 16 includes a refrigerator processor 160, which is a processor that executes a program such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro-processing unit), and a refrigerator storage unit 161 to control each part of the refrigerator 1. The refrigerator control unit 16 executes various processes in cooperation with hardware and software so that the refrigerator processor 160 reads out the control program 1611 stored in the refrigerator storage unit 161 and executes the processes.

The refrigerator storage unit 161 has a storage area for storing a program executed by the refrigerator processor 160 and data processed by the refrigerator processor 160. The refrigerator storage unit 161 stores the control program 1611 executed by the refrigerator processor 160, the setting data 1612 related to the setting of the refrigerator 1, and various other data. The refrigerator storage unit 161 has a non-volatile storage area. Further, the refrigerator storage unit 161 may include a volatile storage area and form a work area of the refrigerator processor 160.

The refrigerator communication unit 17 is equipped with communication hardware according to a predetermined communication standard. The refrigerator communication unit 17 communicates with a device connected to the global network GN according to a predetermined communication standard under the control of the refrigerator control unit 16. In the present embodiment, the refrigerator communication unit 17 communicates with the refrigerator control server 3 according to a predetermined communication standard. The communication standard used by the refrigerator communication unit 17 may be a wireless communication standard (for example, IEEE802.11a / 11b / 11g / 11n / 11ac, Bluetooth (registered trademark)) or a wired communication standard.

The cooling unit 18 separates the cool air sent by the compressor 181, the condenser 182, the capillary tube 183, the cooler 184, the cooling fan 185 that sends the cold air generated by the cooler 184 to each storage chamber, and the cooling fan 185. A mechanism for cooling each storage chamber of the refrigerator 1 such as a damper 186 is provided. The cooling unit 18 cools each storage chamber of the refrigerator 1 according to the control of the refrigerator control unit 16.

The refrigerator control unit 16 of the present embodiment shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to any of a normal mode, an outing mode, and a shopping preparation mode. The outing mode is an operation mode in which power consumption is smaller than that of the normal mode. The shopping preparation mode is an operation mode in which the amount of cooling in the refrigerator 1 is increased as compared with the normal mode. The normal mode is an operation mode in which the power consumption is larger than that in the outing mode and the amount of cooling in the refrigerator 1 is smaller than that in the shopping preparation mode.

Here, the outing mode and the shopping preparation mode will be described in detail.

<Outing mode>
For example, the refrigerator control unit 16 lowers the rotation speed of the compressor 181 in the outing mode from the rotation speed in the normal mode to reduce the cooling amount of each storage chamber of the refrigerator 1. Further, for example, the refrigerator control unit 16 lowers the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 in the outing mode from the rotation speed in the normal mode to reduce the circulation amount of cold air in the refrigerator 1. Further, for example, in the outing mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 lowers the rotation speed of the compressor 181 from the rotation speed in the normal mode and lowers the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 from the rotation speed in the normal mode to cool the compressor. Reduces volume and circulation of cold air.

As a result, in the outing mode, the temperature inside the refrigerator 1 rises by, for example, 1 ° C. as compared with the normal mode. Instead of lowering the rotation speed of the compressor 181 from the rotation speed in the normal mode, the period for stopping the operation of the compressor 181 may be lengthened. Further, instead of lowering the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 from the rotation speed in the normal mode, the period for stopping the operation of the cooling fan 185 may be lengthened.

When the refrigerator control unit 16 receives the first transition instruction information indicating the transition instruction to the outing mode from the refrigerator control server 3 by the refrigerator communication unit 17, the refrigerator control unit 16 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 from the normal mode to the outing mode. After shifting the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outing mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 ends the outing mode when the end trigger of the outing mode occurs, and shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 from the outing mode to the normal mode. ..

For example, when the refrigerator control unit 16 detects the opening / closing of at least one of the left door 11A, the right door 11B, and the

drawers

12A, 13A, 14A, and 15A by a door opening / closing sensor (not shown), it is assumed that the end trigger has occurred. , Exit the outing mode. Further, the refrigerator control unit 16 terminates the outing mode on the assumption that the end trigger has occurred when a predetermined time (for example, 8 hours) has elapsed after shifting to the outing mode.

<Shopping preparation mode>
Next, the shopping preparation mode will be described. The refrigerator 1 sets the operation mode to the shopping preparation mode before the user P stores the food in the refrigerator 1, so that the temperature inside the refrigerator 1 is set to the normal mode before the user P stores the food in the refrigerator 1. Can also be lowered. Therefore, the refrigerator 1 prevents the temperature inside the refrigerator from temporarily rising due to the user P storing the food in the refrigerator 1, and promptly optimizes the temperature of the newly stored food. It is possible to reach a high storage temperature. That is, in the refrigerator 1, the freshness of the food already stored and the freshness of the newly stored food are lowered by setting the operation mode to the shopping preparation mode before the user P stores the food in the refrigerator 1. Can be prevented.

For example, the refrigerator control unit 16 raises the rotation speed of the compressor 181 from the rotation speed in the normal mode in the shopping preparation mode to increase the cooling amount in the refrigerator 1. Alternatively, for example, the refrigerator control unit 16 raises the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 from the rotation speed in the normal mode in the shopping preparation mode, increases the circulation amount of cold air in the refrigerator 1, and reduces the cooling amount in the refrigerator 1. increase. Alternatively, for example, in the shopping preparation mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 raises the rotation speed of the compressor 181 from the rotation speed in the normal mode and raises the rotation speed of the cooling fan 185 from the rotation speed in the normal mode to make the refrigerator. Increase the amount of cooling in the refrigerator of 1. As a result, in the shopping preparation mode, the temperature inside the refrigerator 1 is lowered by, for example, 2 ° C. as compared with the normal mode. In the shopping preparation mode, the temperature inside the refrigerator may be lowered for all the storage rooms, or the temperature inside the refrigerator may be lowered for any storage room such as only the refrigerating room 11.

When the refrigerator control unit 16 receives the second transition instruction information indicating the transition instruction to the shopping preparation mode from the refrigerator control server 3 by the refrigerator communication unit 17, the refrigerator control unit 16 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 from the normal mode to the shopping preparation mode. Let me. When the end trigger of the shopping preparation mode occurs after shifting the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode, the refrigerator control unit 16 ends the shopping preparation mode and changes the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 from the shopping preparation mode to the normal mode. Shift to mode.

The GPS receiving unit 23 includes hardware that periodically receives a GPS signal from a GPS satellite by an antenna (not shown) and calculates the position (for example, latitude and longitude) of the terminal device 2 based on the received GPS signal. The GPS receiving unit 23 generates position data indicating the calculated position of the terminal device 2 and outputs it to the terminal control unit 20.

As described above, the terminal control unit 20 functions as the basic control unit 2100 and the application execution unit 2200.

The basic control unit 2100 executes the function of the operating system 211. The basic control unit 2100 in the present embodiment determines the entry / exit of the user P to the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA. The home geo-fence JA corresponds to an example of "first geo-fence" when the shopping destination geo-fence KA corresponds to an example of "second geo-fence", and the shopping destination geo-fence KA corresponds to an example of "first geo-fence". When corresponding to one example, it corresponds to one example of "second geo-fence".

Home geo-fence JA is a geo-fence that is regarded as home H. In the present disclosure, the geofence (geofence area) is an area surrounded by a virtual boundary line. The basic control unit 2100 sets, for example, a region having a radius of α meter in the home geo-fence JA centering on the home position JI set by the setting unit 2201. The home position JI is the position of the user P's home H. Shopping destination geo-fence KA is a geo-fence that is regarded as a shopping destination. The shopping destination is a place where the user P can obtain food, for example, a store that sells food. The shopping destination corresponds to an example of "food acquisition destination". The basic control unit 2100 sets, for example, a region having a radius of β meters in the shopping destination geo-fence KA centering on the shopping destination position KI set by the setting unit 2201. Shopping destination position KI is the location of the shopping destination. The shopping destination geo-fence KA is set in an area larger than the home geo-fence JA.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the determination of the basic control unit 2100. In FIG. 3, the home geo-fence JA is a circular area centered on the home position JI. In the basic control unit 2100, whether the user P has entered the home geo-fence JA or the user P has left the home geo-fence JA based on the position of the terminal device 2 indicated by the position data output from the GPS receiving unit 23. Detect if it has been done.

For example, when the user P moves as shown by the arrow Y1 and as a result, the terminal device 2 moves from the outside of the home geo-fence JA into the home geo-fence JA, the basic control unit 2100 causes the user P to move to the home geo-fence JA. Detects that you have entered the Offense JA. Further, when the user P moves as shown by the arrow Y2, and as a result, the terminal device 2 moves from the inside of the home geo-fence JA to the outside of the home geo-fence JA, the basic control unit 2100 causes the user P to move to the home geo-fence JA. Detects that you have left Offense JA.

In FIG. 3, the shopping destination geo-fence KA is a circular area centered on the shopping destination position KI. The basic control unit 2100 determines whether the user P has entered the shopping destination geo-fence KA based on the position of the terminal device 2 indicated by the position data output from the GPS receiving unit 23, and the user P has entered the shopping destination geo-fence KA. Detects whether you have left.

For example, when the user P moves as shown by the arrow Y3, and as a result, the terminal device 2 moves from the outside of the shopping destination geo-fence KA into the shopping destination geo-fence KA, the user P of the basic control unit 2100 moves. Detects that you have entered the shopping destination Geo-fence KA. Further, when the user P moves as shown by the arrow Y4, and as a result, the terminal device 2 moves from the inside of the shopping destination geo-fence KA to the outside of the shopping destination geo-fence KA, the user P of the basic control unit 2100 moves. Detects that you have left the shopping destination Geo-fence KA.

In FIG. 3, the home geo-fence JA is a circle centered on the home position JI, but the shape of the home geo-fence JA is not limited to a circle and may be another shape such as a rectangle. The same applies to the shape of the home geo-fence JA and the shape of the shopping destination geo-fence KA. Further, in FIG. 3, the center of the home geo-fence JA is the home position JI, but the center of the home geo-fence JA is not limited to the home position JI as long as the home geo-fence JA includes the home position JI. The same applies to the center of the home geo-fence JA and the center of the shopping destination geo-fence KA.

The basic control unit 2100 outputs the detection result to the application execution unit 2200. The detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 indicates any one of "home IN", "home OUT", "shopping destination IN", and "shopping destination OUT". "Home IN" indicates that the user P has entered the home geo-fence JA. "Home OUT" indicates that the user P has left the home geo-fence JA. "Shopping destination IN" indicates that the user P has entered the shopping destination geo-fence KA. “Shopping OUT” indicates that the user P has left the shopping destination Geo-fence KA.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. 2, the application execution unit 2200 has a setting unit 2201, an acquisition unit 2202, a determination unit 2203, a display control unit 2204, and an operation control unit 2205 as functional units. The display control unit 2204 corresponds to an example of the “processing unit”.

The setting unit 2201 makes various settings related to the functions of the refrigerator control application 213. For example, the setting unit 2201 sets various settings related to the functions of the refrigerator control application 213 by setting the setting values in the corresponding setting items in the application setting data stored in the predetermined storage area accessible to the refrigerator control application 213. I do. The application setting data is data related to the setting of the function of the refrigerator control application 213, and includes various setting items.

The setting unit 2201 sets the home position JI. For example, when the address of the home H is input via the interface for setting the home position JI, the setting unit 2201 sets the input address as the home position JI. Alternatively, the setting unit 2201 displays a map for setting the home position JI on the touch panel 22, and sets the position on the map pointed by the user P by the touch operation as the home position JI.

In addition, the setting unit 2201 sets the shopping destination position KI. For example, when the shopping address is input via the interface for setting the shopping destination position KI, the setting unit 2201 sets the input address as the shopping destination position KI. Alternatively, the setting unit 2201 displays a map for setting the shopping destination position KI on the touch panel 22, and sets the position on the map pointed by the user P by the touch operation as the shopping destination position KI.

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result from the basic control unit 2100. When the acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result from the basic control unit 2100, the acquisition unit 2202 outputs the acquired detection result to the determination unit 2203.

The determination unit 2203 determines whether the detection result output by the acquisition unit 2202 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result. The determination of the determination unit 2203 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 7-14. When the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result is valid, the determination unit 2203 updates the effective latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210 to the detection result determined to be valid. The effective latest detection result 214 is a detection result output by the basic control unit 2100, and is a detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid most recently. The determination unit 2203 outputs the determination result of whether it is valid or invalid to the display control unit 2204.

The display control unit 2204 performs a push notification by displaying a pop-up on the touch panel 22.

In the present embodiment, when the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "home OUT", the display control unit 2204 sends a push notification indicating that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the outing mode. conduct. Hereinafter, this push notification is referred to as a "first push notification". When the display control unit 2204 has not elapsed a predetermined time (for example, 15 minutes) since the first push notification was performed last time, the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "home OUT". However, the first push notification is not performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid is the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN", the display control unit 2204 can shift the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode. Give a push notification indicating that. Hereinafter, this push notification is referred to as a "second push notification". The display control unit 2204 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is valid, and then the second push is performed on condition that the basic control unit 2100 does not output the detection result for a predetermined time. Make a notification. In other words, the display control unit 2204 does not perform the second push notification when this condition is not satisfied.

The display control unit 2204 displays the user interface on the touch panel 22. Hereinafter, this user interface is referred to as an "app UI" and is designated by a reference numeral "2130" (see FIG. 4). The display control unit 2204 provides various information to the user P by displaying the application UI 2130 on the touch panel 22, and also receives various inputs from the user P.

In the present embodiment, the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction from the user P to set the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outing mode via the application UI 2130.

Further, the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction to set the home position JI from the user P via the application UI 2130. Further, the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction from the user P to set the shopping destination position KI via the application UI 2130.

The display control unit 2204 displays the notification card TC corresponding to the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 on the home screen HG of the application UI 2130. The notification card TC is a card-type icon that notifies the user P of predetermined information.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the home screen HG of the application UI 2130.

The home screen HG has a mode display area HA1. The mode display area HA1 is an area for displaying the mode image G1, which is an image showing the current operation mode of the refrigerator 1. In FIG. 4, the mode display area HA1 indicates that the current operation mode of the refrigerator 1 is a normal mode.

The home screen HG has a notification card display area HA2. The notification card display area HA2 is an area for displaying one notification card TC. The notification card display area HA2 displays one notification card TC according to a predetermined priority. In FIG. 4, the notification card display area HA2 displays the outing mode notification card TC2.

In the notification card display area HA2, the notification card TC to be displayed is switched by the user P performing a left-right slide operation in the notification card display area HA2. The slide operation is a touch operation in which an operator such as a finger or an electronic pen moves while touching the display panel of the touch panel 22.

In the notification card display area HA2, when the user P slides to the right, the notification card TC is switched from the high-priority notification card TC to the low-priority notification card TC in order according to the movement amount of the operator. .. When the notification card TC having the lowest priority is displayed, the notification card TC is not switched in the notification card display area HA2 even if the slide operation to the right is performed in the notification card display area HA2.

Further, in the notification card display area HA2, when the user P slides to the left, the notification card TC moves from the low priority notification card TC to the high priority notification card TC according to the amount of movement of the operator. It switches in order. When the notification card TC having the highest priority is displayed, the notification card TC is not switched in the notification card display area HA2 even if the slide operation is performed to the left in the notification card display area HA2.

Note that the notification card TC may be switched in the notification card display area HA2 by a touch operation other than a slide operation such as a flick operation. The flick operation is a touch operation in which the touching operator is picked up and the operator is released from the touch panel 22.

In the present embodiment, the notification card TC displayed in the notification card display area HA2 is one of the three types of notification card TCs shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the notification card TC.

In this embodiment, there are three types of notification card TCs: a recipe provision notification card TC1, an outing mode notification card TC2, and a shopping preparation mode notification card TC3.

The recipe provision notification card TC1 is a notification card TC for providing the user P with a recipe for cooking using the food contained in the refrigerator 1. The recipe provision notification card TC1 includes notification information J1 indicating that the notification card TC is for providing a cooking recipe.

The recipe provision notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 so as to be selectable by tapping. When the recipe provision notification card TC1 displayed by the notification card display area HA2 is tapped, the display control unit 2204 displays a screen for displaying a list of cooking recipes in the application UI 2130.

Further, the terminal control unit 20 may start the browser and display the cooking recipe site on the touch panel 22 when the recipe provision notification card TC1 is tapped.

The outing mode notification card TC2 is a notification card TC for setting the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outing mode. The outing mode notification card TC2 includes notification information J2 indicating that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the outing mode by tapping the notification card TC.

The outing mode notification card TC2 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 so as to be selectable by tapping. When the outing mode notification card TC2 displayed by the notification card display area HA2 is tapped, the operation control unit 2205 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outing mode. Along with this, in the application UI 2130, the mode image G1 displayed by the mode display area HA1 of the home screen HG indicates the outing mode. Further, in the notification card display area HA2, the outing mode notification card TC2 is hidden.

The shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is a notification card TC for setting the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode. The shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 includes notification information J3 indicating that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the shopping preparation mode by a tap operation.

The shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 so as to be selectable by tapping. When the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 displayed by the notification card display area HA2 is tapped, the operation control unit 2205 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode. Along with this, in the application UI 2130, the mode image G1 displayed by the mode display area HA1 of the home screen HG indicates the shopping preparation mode. Further, in the notification card display area HA2, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is hidden.

When the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "home IN", the display control unit 2204 displays the recipe provision notification card TC1 in the notification card display area HA2.

Further, when the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "home OUT", the display control unit 2204 sets either the recipe provision notification card TC1 or the outing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2. indicate. In the present embodiment, the priority displayed in the notification card display area HA2 is set higher in the order of the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3, the outing mode notification card TC2, and the recipe provision notification card TC1. Therefore, when the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "home OUT", the display control unit 2204 gives priority to the recipe provision notification card TC1 and displays the outing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area. Display on HA2.

Further, when the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "shopping destination IN", the display control unit 2204 may use any of the recipe provision notification card TC1, the outing mode notification card TC2, and the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3. Is displayed in the notification card display area HA2. When the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "shopping destination IN", the display control unit 2204 gives priority to the recipe provision notification card TC1 and the outing mode notification card TC2, and gives priority to the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3. Is displayed in the notification card display area HA2.

Further, the display control unit 2204 is the same as when the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "shopping destination OUT" and the detection result determined by the determination unit 2203 to be valid indicates "home OUT". , The notification card TC is displayed in the notification card display area HA2.

Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the operation control unit 2205 goes out to the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 when the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction from the user P to set the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outing mode via the application UI 2130. Shift to mode. Further, when the display control unit 2204 receives an instruction from the user P to set the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode via the application UI 2130, the operation control unit 2205 shifts the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode. Let me.

[2. motion]
Next, the operation of each part of the refrigerator control system 1000 in the present embodiment will be described. First, the operation of the terminal device 2 until the basic control unit 2100 starts the above-mentioned detection will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the terminal device 2. In FIG. 6, the flowchart FA shows the operation of the application execution unit 2200, and the flowchart FB shows the operation of the basic control unit 2100.

The setting unit 2201 of the application execution unit 2200 determines whether or not to set the home position JI (step SA1).

For example, when the user P inputs the address of the home H, the setting unit 2201 makes an affirmative determination in step SA1. Further, for example, in the map for setting the home position JI, when the touch operation indicating the position on the map is detected on the touch panel 22, the setting unit 2201 makes an affirmative determination in step SA1.

When the setting unit 2201 determines that the home position JI is to be set (step SA1: YES), the setting unit 2201 sets the home position JI (step SA2), and outputs the home position information indicating the set home position JI to the basic control unit 2100. (Step SA3).

Returning to the explanation of step SA1, when it is determined that the home position JI is not set (step SA1: NO), the setting unit 2201 determines whether or not to set the shopping destination position KI (step SA4).

For example, when the user P inputs the shopping address, the setting unit 2201 makes an affirmative determination in step SA4. Further, for example, in the map for setting the shopping destination position KI, when the touch operation indicating the position on the map is detected on the touch panel 22, the setting unit 2201 makes an affirmative determination in step SA4.

When the setting unit 2201 determines that the shopping destination position KI is not set (step SA4: NO), the setting unit 2201 executes the process of step SA1 again.

On the other hand, when the setting unit 2201 determines that the shopping destination position KI is to be set (step SA4: YES), the setting unit 2201 sets the shopping destination position KI (step SA5), and basically uses the shopping destination position information indicating the set shopping destination position KI. Output to the control unit 2100 (step SA6).

With reference to the flowchart FB, the basic control unit 2100 determines whether or not the home location information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB1).

When the basic control unit 2100 determines that the home location information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB1: YES), the basic control unit 2100 sets the home geo-fence JA based on the input home location information (step SB2). .. Then, the basic control unit 2100 starts detecting the entry of the user P into the set home geo-fence JA and the exit of the user P from the set home geo-fence JA (step SB3).

When the basic control unit 2100 starts the detection for the home geo-fence JA, the detection for the home geo-fence JA is performed regardless of the state of the refrigerator control application 213. That is, the basic control unit 2100 detects the home geo-fence JA regardless of whether the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground, operating in the background, or paused.

On the other hand, when the basic control unit 2100 determines that the home location information has not been input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB1: NO), the basic control unit 2100 determines whether or not the shopping destination location information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB1: NO). Step SB4).

When the basic control unit 2100 determines that the shopping destination position information has not been input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB4: NO), the basic control unit 2100 executes the process of step SB1 again.

When the basic control unit 2100 determines that the shopping destination location information has been input from the application execution unit 2200 (step SB4: YES), the basic control unit 2100 sets the shopping destination geo-fence KA based on the input shopping destination location information (step SB4: YES). Step SB5). Then, the basic control unit 2100 starts detecting the entry of the user P into the set shopping destination geo-fence KA and the exit of the user P from the set shopping destination geo-fence KA (step SB6).

When the basic control unit 2100 starts the detection for the shopping destination geo-fence KA, the detection is performed regardless of the state of the refrigerator control application 213, as in the determination for the home geo-fence JA.

Next, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 after the basic control unit 2100 starts the above-mentioned detection will be described with reference to FIGS. 7-14. When the basic control unit 2100 outputs the detection result, the refrigerator control application 213 is temporarily activated in the paused state and the stopped state, and operates in FIGS. 7, 9, 11, and 13. When executed and operating in the background, the operations of FIGS. 7, 9, 11 and 13 are executed in the background. The operation of the application execution unit 2200 after the basic control unit 2100 starts the detection differs depending on the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100.

<When the detection result indicates "home OUT">
First, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 indicates "home OUT" will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates “home OUT”.

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 (step SC1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the effective latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210, and the detection result indicating “home OUT” acquired in step SC1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result. (Step SC2).

In step SC2, when the effective latest detection result 214, that is, the latest detection result determined to be valid is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 indicates "home OUT" acquired in step SC1. It is determined that the detection result is a valid detection result. On the other hand, when the latest detection result determined to be valid in step SC2 indicates something other than "home IN", the determination unit 2203 has an invalid detection result indicating "home OUT" acquired by step SC1. Is determined.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the detection result indicating the "home OUT" acquired in step SC1 is determined to be valid or invalid by the determination unit 2203 (step SC3).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 has determined to be invalid (step SC3: "invalid"), the display control unit 2204 does not execute the process corresponding to the detection result indicating "home OUT" acquired in step SC1 (step SC4). ). The process corresponding to the detection result indicating "home OUT" is the display of the outing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2 and the execution of the first push notification.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 is valid (step SC3: “valid”), the display control unit 2204 displays the outing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step SC5). ).

As a result, when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be changed to the outing mode by visually recognizing the home screen HG. Further, even when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the background, the user P can shift the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the outing mode by switching the operation state of the refrigerator control application 213 to the foreground. Can be recognized.

Next, the display control unit 2204 performs the first push notification (step SC6).

As a result, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be changed to the outing mode regardless of whether the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground or in the background.

If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the first push notification was performed last time, the display control unit 2204 skips the process of step SC6. As a result, when the user P goes back and forth between the boundaries of the home geo-fence JA, it is possible to prevent the first push notification from being performed many times in a short period of time.

Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home OUT" will be specifically described. FIG. 8 is a diagram for specifically explaining the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates “home OUT”.

In FIG. 8, the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA partially overlap each other. In FIG. 8, the user P passes through the point P1 from within the home geo-fence JA, enters the superposed area TA1 in which the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA are superimposed, and then enters the superposed area TA1 from within the superposed area TA1. It shows the case of entering the shopping destination geo-fence KA where the home geo-fence JA is not superimposed after passing through.

Point P1 is a point on the boundary between the superposed area TA1 and the home geo-fence JA. In FIG. 8, when the user P passes the point P1 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects the “shopping destination IN”. The point P2 is a point on the boundary between the superposed area TA1 and the shopping destination geo-fence KA. In FIG. 8, when the user P passes the point P2 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects the “home OUT”.

Here, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the process corresponding to the detection result is executed for all the detection results without executing the operation of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. In this description, it is assumed that the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 when the user P passes through the point P1 and is in the superimposed area TA1. When the user P passes through the point P2 and enters the shopping destination geo-fence KA where the home geo-fence JA is not superposed from the superimposition area TA1, the acquisition unit 2202 outputs the detection result indicating "home OUT" to the basic control unit. Obtained from 2100. Then, the display control unit 2204 transfers the notification card TC displayed by the notification card display area HA2 from the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 to the outing mode notification card TC2 even though the user P is in the shopping destination geo-fence KA. do. Further, the display control unit 2204 performs the first push notification even though the user P is in the shopping destination geo-fence KA. That is, in the configuration in which the operation of FIG. 7 is not executed, in FIG. 8, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is not displayed on the home screen HG even though the user P is located in the shopping destination geo-fence KA. Inappropriate push notifications will be made.

Next, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 having a configuration for executing the operation of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. In this explanation, when the user P passes the point P1, it is determined that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is valid, and the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2. .. When the user P passes through the point P2 and enters the shopping destination geo-fence KA where the home geo-fence JA is not superposed from the superimposition area TA1, the acquisition unit 2202 uses the detection result indicating "home OUT" as the basic control unit. Obtained from 2100. However, since the detection result determined to be valid most recently is the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home OUT" is invalid. Therefore, even after passing through the point P2, the display of the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is maintained on the home screen HG. In addition, the first push notification is not performed. That is, when the operation of FIG. 7 is executed, the correct notification card TC can be displayed in the notification card display area HA2, and it is possible to prevent inappropriate push notifications from being performed.

<When the detection result indicates "shopping destination OUT">
Next, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 indicates “shopping destination OUT” will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates “shopping destination OUT”.

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 (step SD1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the effective latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210, and the detection result indicating the “shopping destination OUT” acquired in step SD1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result. It is determined whether or not there is (step SD2).

When the latest detection result determined to be valid in step SD2 is the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN", the determination unit 2203 is valid for the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" acquired in step SD1. Judged as a detection result. On the other hand, when the latest detection result determined to be valid in step SD2 is a detection result indicating other than "shopping destination IN", the determination unit 2203 has a detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" acquired by step SD1. , Judge as an invalid detection result.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the determination unit 2203 determines whether the detection result indicating the “shopping destination OUT” acquired in step SD1 is valid or invalid (step SD3).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 has determined to be invalid (step SD3: "invalid"), the display control unit 2204 does not execute the process corresponding to the detection result indicating the "shopping destination OUT" acquired in step SD1 (step SD3: "invalid"). SD4). The process corresponding to the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" is the display of the outing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2 and the execution of the first push notification.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 is valid (step SD3: "valid"), the display control unit 2204 displays the outing mode notification card TC2 in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step SD5). ).

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "shopping destination OUT" will be specifically described. FIG. 10 is a diagram for specifically explaining the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates the determination of “shopping destination OUT”.

In FIG. 10, the shopping destination geo-fence KA and the home geo-fence JA partially overlap each other. In FIG. 10, the user P passes through the point P3 from within the shopping destination geofence KA, enters the superimposing area TA2 in which the shopping destination geofence KA and the home geofence JA are superimposed, and then enters the superimposing area TA2 from within the superimposing area TA2. It shows the case of passing through P4 and entering the home geo-fence JA where the shopping destination geo-fence KA is not superimposed.

Point P3 is a point on the boundary between the superposed area TA2 and the shopping destination geo-fence KA. In FIG. 10, when the user P passes the point P3 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects "home IN". The point P4 is a point on the boundary between the superposed area TA2 and the home geo-fence JA. In FIG. 10, when the user P passes the point P4 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects the “shopping destination OUT”.

Here, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the process corresponding to the detection result is executed for all the detection results without executing the operation of FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIG. In this description, it is assumed that the recipe provision notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 when the user P passes through the point P3 and is in the superimposed area TA2. When the user P passes through the point P4 and enters the home geo-fence JA where the shopping destination geo-fence KA is not superimposed from the overlapping area TA2, the acquisition unit 2202 basically controls the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT". Obtained from part 2100. Then, the display control unit 2204 changes the notification card TC displayed by the notification card display area HA2 from the recipe provision notification card TC1 to the outing mode notification card TC2 even though the user P is in the home geo-fence JA. That is, in the configuration in which the operation of FIG. 9 is not executed, the outing mode notification card TC2 is displayed on the home screen HG even though the user P is in the home geo-fence JA.

Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the operation shown in FIG. 9 is executed will be described. In this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P passes the point P3, the detection result indicating "home IN" is determined to be valid, and the recipe provision notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2. When the user P passes through the point P4 and enters the home geo-fence JA where the shopping destination geo-fence KA is not superimposed from the overlapping area TA2, the acquisition unit 2202 basically controls the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT". Obtained from part 2100. However, since the detection result determined to be valid most recently is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination OUT" is invalid. Therefore, even after passing through the point P4, the display of the recipe provision notification card TC1 is maintained on the home screen HG. That is, in the configuration for executing the operation shown in FIG. 9, the correct notification card TC can be displayed in the notification card display area HA2.

<When the detection result indicates "shopping destination IN">
First, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 indicates "shopping destination IN" will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates “shopping destination IN”.

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 (step SE1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the effective latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210, and the detection result indicating the “shopping destination IN” acquired in step SE1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result. It is determined whether or not there is (step SE2).

When the latest detection result determined to be valid in step SE2 is a detection result indicating other than "home IN", the determination unit 2203 is valid for the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" acquired in step SE1. Judged as a detection result. On the other hand, when the latest detection result determined to be valid in step SE2 is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 invalidates the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" acquired by step SE1. It is determined that the detection result is good.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the determination unit 2203 determines whether the detection result indicating the "shopping destination IN" acquired in step SE1 is valid or invalid (step SE3).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 has determined to be invalid (step SE3: "invalid"), the display control unit 2204 does not execute the process corresponding to the detection result indicating the "shopping destination IN" acquired in step SE1 (step). SE4). The process corresponding to the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is the display of the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 in the notification card display area HA2 and the execution of the second push notification.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 is valid (step SE3: "valid"), the display control unit 2204 displays the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step). SE5).

As a result, when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be shifted to the shopping preparation mode by visually recognizing the home screen HG. Further, even when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the background, the user P can shift the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 to the shopping preparation mode by switching the operation state of the refrigerator control application 213 to the foreground. Can be recognized.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether or not the condition for performing the second push notification is satisfied (step SE6).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the condition for performing the second push notification is not satisfied (step SE6: NO), the display control unit 2204 ends this process.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the condition for performing the second push notification is satisfied (step SE6: YES), the display control unit 2204 performs the second push notification (step SE7).

As a result, the user P can recognize that the operation mode of the refrigerator 1 can be changed to the shopping preparation mode regardless of whether the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground or in the background.

Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "shopping destination IN" will be specifically described.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for specifically explaining the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates “shopping destination IN”.

In FIG. 12, the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA partially overlap each other. In FIG. 12, the user P passes through the point P5 from outside the home geo-fence JA, enters the home geo-fence JA, and then passes through the point P6 from inside the home geo-fence JA to shop with the home geo-fence JA. The case where the superficial region TA3 on which the previous geo-fence KA is superimposed is entered is shown.

Point P5 is a point on the boundary of the home geo-fence JA excluding the boundary of the overlapping area TA3. In FIG. 12, when the user P passes the point P5 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects the “home IN”. The point P6 is a point on the boundary between the superposed area TA3 and the home geo-fence JA. In FIG. 12, when the user P passes the point P6 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects the “shopping destination IN”.

Here, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the process corresponding to the detection result is executed for all the detection results without executing the operation shown in FIG. 11 will be described with reference to FIG. In this description, it is assumed that the recipe provision notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 when the user P passes through the point P5 and is located in the superposed area TA3. When the user P passes through the point P6 and enters the superposed area TA3 from the home geo-fence JA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" from the basic control unit 2100. Then, the display control unit 2204 changes the notification card TC displayed by the notification card display area HA2 from the recipe provision notification card TC1 to the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 even though the user P is in the home geo-fence JA. .. Further, the display control unit 2204 gives a second push notification even though the user P is in the home geo-fence JA. That is, in the configuration in which the operation of FIG. 11 is not executed, in FIG. 12, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed on the home screen HG even though the user P is in the home geo-fence JA, and the second Push notifications will be made.

Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the operation shown in FIG. 11 is executed will be described. In this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P passes the point P5, the detection result indicating "home IN" is determined to be valid, and the recipe provision notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2. When the user P passes through the point P6 and enters the superposed area TA3 from the home geo-fence JA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" from the basic control unit 2100. However, since the detection result determined to be valid most recently is the detection result indicating "home IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is invalid. Therefore, even if the superimposing area TA3 is entered after passing through the point P6, the display of the recipe provision notification card TC1 is maintained on the home screen HG. In addition, the second push notification is not performed. That is, when the operation of FIG. 11 is executed, an appropriate notification card TC can be displayed in the notification card display area HA2, and inappropriate push notification can be prevented from being performed.

<When the detection result indicates "home IN">
First, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 indicates "home IN" will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates “home IN”.

The acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result output by the basic control unit 2100 (step SF1).

The determination unit 2203 refers to the effective latest detection result 214 stored in the terminal storage unit 210, and the detection result indicating “home IN” acquired in step SF1 is a valid detection result or an invalid detection result. (Step SF2).

When the latest detection result determined to be valid in step SF2 is a detection result indicating other than "shopping destination IN", the determination unit 2203 finds that the detection result indicating "home IN" acquired in step SF1 is valid. Judged as a detection result. On the other hand, when the latest detection result determined to be valid in step SE2 is the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN", the determination unit 2203 invalidates the detection result indicating "home IN" acquired by step SF1. It is determined that the detection result is good.

Next, the display control unit 2204 determines whether the determination unit 2203 determines whether the detection result indicating the "home IN" acquired in step SF1 is valid or invalid (step SF3).

When the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 has determined to be invalid (step SF3: "invalid"), the display control unit 2204 does not execute the process corresponding to the detection result indicating "home IN" acquired in step SF1 (step SF4). ). The process corresponding to the detection result indicating "home IN" is the display of the recipe provision notification card TC1 in the notification card display area HA2.

On the other hand, when the display control unit 2204 determines that the determination unit 2203 is valid (step SF3: "valid"), the display control unit 2204 displays the recipe provision notification card TC1 in the notification card display area HA2 of the home screen HG (step SF5). ).

As a result, when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the foreground, the user P can recognize that the recipe can be provided by visually recognizing the home screen HG. Further, even when the refrigerator control application 213 is operating in the background, the user P can recognize that the recipe can be provided by switching the operating state of the refrigerator control application 213 to the foreground.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates "home IN" will be specifically described. FIG. 14 is a diagram for specifically explaining the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the detection result indicates “home IN”.

In FIG. 14, the shopping destination geo-fence KA and the home geo-fence JA partially overlap each other. In FIG. 14, the user P passes through the point P7 from outside the shopping destination geofence KA, enters the shopping destination geofence KA, and then passes through the point P8 from inside the shopping destination geofence KA, and passes through the home geofence. The case where JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA are superimposed and entered into the superimposed area TA4 is shown.

Point P7 is a point on the boundary of the shopping destination geo-fence KA excluding the boundary of the overlapping area TA4. In FIG. 14, when the user P passes the point P7 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects the “shopping destination IN”. The point P8 is a point on the boundary between the superposed area TA4 and the shopping destination geo-fence KA. In FIG. 14, when the user P passes the point P8 toward the arrow, the basic control unit 2100 detects the “home IN”.

Here, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the process corresponding to the detection result is executed for all the detection results without executing the operation shown in FIG. 13 will be described with reference to FIG. In this description, it is assumed that the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2 when the user P passes through the point P7 and is in the superimposed area TA4. When the user P passes through the point P8 and enters the superposed area TA4 from the shopping destination geo-fence KA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result indicating "home IN" from the basic control unit 2100. Then, the display control unit 2204 transfers the notification card TC to be displayed in the notification card display area HA2 from the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 to the recipe provision notification card TC1 even though the user P is in the shopping destination geo-fence KA. do. That is, in the configuration in which the operation of FIG. 13 is not executed, the recipe provision notification card TC1 is displayed on the home screen HG even though the user P is in the shopping destination geo-fence KA in FIG. In other words, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is not displayed on the home screen HG.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the operation of the application execution unit 2200 when the operation shown in FIG. 13 is executed will be described. In this explanation, it is assumed that when the user P passes the point P7, the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" is determined to be valid, and the recipe provision notification card TC1 is displayed in the notification card display area HA2. When the user P passes through the point P8 and enters the superposed area TA4 from the shopping destination geo-fence KA, the acquisition unit 2202 acquires the detection result indicating "home IN" from the basic control unit 2100. However, since the detection result determined to be valid most recently is the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN", the determination unit 2203 determines that the detection result indicating "home IN" is invalid. Therefore, even if the superimposing area TA4 is entered after passing through the point P8, the display of the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is maintained on the home screen HG.

FIGS. 8, 10, 12, and 14 show a case where the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA partially overlap, but the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA are illustrated. Even when and are adjacent to each other or close to each other, the processing corresponding to the detection result may not be appropriately performed unless the operations of FIGS. 7, 9, 11 and 13 are executed.

More specifically, it is assumed that the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA shown in FIG. 8 are adjacent to each other or close to each other. In this case, when the user P moves from the home geo-fence JA to the shopping destination geo-fence KA, the basic control unit 2100 detects "home OUT" and "shopping destination IN" at the same timing, and " There is a possibility that the detection result indicating "shopping destination IN" and the detection result indicating "home OUT" are output to the application execution unit 2200 in this order. Here, unless the operation of FIG. 7 is executed, the shopping preparation mode notification card TC3 is not displayed even though the user P is in the shopping destination geo-fence KA, as in the case described with reference to FIG. Such a situation occurs.

Therefore, even when the home geo-fence JA and the shopping destination geo-fence KA are adjacent to each other or close to each other, the processing corresponding to the detection result is performed by executing the operations of FIGS. 7, 9, 11, and 13. Can be done properly.
