Abstract

The invention provides a refrigerator and a control method thereof. The refrigerator comprises a drawer, a liner, a camera module, a sensor and a processor; the camera module is arranged on the side face of the liner, and when the drawer is under a drawn-out state, the camera module is located on the position capable of allowing the camera module to shoot objected in the drawer; the sensor is used for detecting whether the drawer is under the drawn-out state or not; and the processor obtains the detecting result of the sensor, and when the detecting result is that the drawer is under the drawn-out state, the camera module is controlled to conduct shooting. Through the technical scheme of the refrigerator and the control method thereof, the camera module in the refrigerator can shoot the object in the drawer, and the shooting effect is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a refrigerator and a control method for the refrigerator. Background technique [0002] At present, a camera module is installed inside the refrigerator, and the objects in the refrigerator are photographed by the camera module, so as to identify the objects placed in the refrigerator according to the images captured by the camera module. In the prior art, the camera module is arranged on the top of the refrigerator, and the camera module can only take pictures of the objects on the shelves of the refrigerator, but cannot take pictures of the objects in the drawers. Even if the camera module can take pictures of the objects in the drawer, since the camera module is arranged on the top of the cabinet of the refrigerator and is far away from the drawer, the shooting effect cannot be guaranteed. [0003] Therefore, how to enable the camera module to photograph ...
