Embodiment 1

[0036] In the refrigerator food information management system of the present embodiment 1, the image collection and recognition module includes an image collection sub-module 1 and an image recognition sub-module; The image information is sent to the image recognition sub-module; the image recognition sub-module recognizes the food according to the collected image information.

[0037] For the refrigerator food information management system of the first embodiment, please refer to figure 2 . Wherein, the image acquisition sub-module 1 is located locally, and the image acquisition sub-module 1 can include a camera and an image processor, and the camera is distributed on the top inside the refrigerator, thereby facilitating the collection of images of food put in / taken out; and the image processor It only needs to be convenient for the setting of the whole management system. In addition, the image acquisition sub-module 1 can be controlled by a signal switch. When the refrig...

Embodiment 2

[0053] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the image recognition sub-module and the data processing module are also located locally, please refer to Figure 4 . Obviously, in order not to increase the operating burden of the main control board 2 , it is preferable that both the image recognition sub-module and the data processing module are independent of the main control board 2 . Here, the data processing module can be integrated into the image acquisition and recognition module to obtain a micro control unit with functions of image acquisition and recognition and data processing. On this basis, data transmission is performed between the local data and the cloud platform through the wifi module 4 integrated on the main control board 2, and the mobile terminal can monitor the internal information of the refrigerator in real time through the cloud platform.

[0054] The present invention also provides a refrigerator food information m...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerator food management and provides a system and method for managing refrigerator food information. The system for managing the refrigerator food information comprises an image acquisition and recognition system, a weight sensor, a data processing module and a display module. The image acquisition and recognition system is used for conducting image acquisition on food placed in or taken out when a refrigerator door is opened and recognizing the food placed in or taken out according to acquired images. The weight sensor is used for inducting the weights of food on shelves and acquiring the weight change values of the food on the shelves. The data processing module is used for receiving data from the image acquisition and recognition module and the weight sensor, processing the data and acquiring the weights and the storage positions of the food placed in or taken out. The display module is connected with the data processing module and displays the processing result of the data processing module. By means of the system, the varieties, weights and the storage positions of the food placed in can be automatically recorded, and therefore intelligent management on distribution of the food on the shelves of a refrigerator is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerator food management, in particular to a refrigerator food information management system and method. Background technique [0002] The Internet of Things is another wave of global informatization after computers, the Internet and mobile communication networks, and it is a new stage in the development of global informatization. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of Internet of Things technology, and has listed sensor networks as key research areas. With the rise of the concept of the Internet of Things, products in the home appliance industry are accelerating to be intelligent, and many refrigerator manufacturers have launched smart refrigerators one after another. [0003] Because different types of food require different fresh-keeping temperatures, for example, the fresh-keeping temperature of green leafy vegetables is 12 degrees, the fresh-keeping temperature of...
