no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0087] Below, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 12 The first embodiment will be described.

[0088] like figure 1 As shown, in the home appliance network system 100 using the refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment, the refrigerator 1 is communicably connected to an external communication line 102 via a router 101 . This router 101 is a so-called wireless access point, and is connected to the refrigerator 1 so as to be communicable by wireless communication. Various kinds of information are exchanged between this refrigerator 1 and a communication terminal 103 and a server 104 (both correspond to external devices) connected to a communication line 102 . However, in the home appliance network system 100 of this embodiment, as will be described later, the server 104 stores image information obtained by photographing the inside of the refrigerator 1, and the communication terminal 103 acquires the image inside the box from the server 104. . Here, the image information refers t...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0156] Below, refer to Figure 13 to Figure 25 A second embodiment will be described. Among them, since the configuration of the refrigerator is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, reference is also made to figure 2 Wait for the explanation.

[0157] like Figure 13 As shown in (A) and (B), the door rack 200 (corresponding to the door rack for refrigerators) according to this embodiment includes a storage part 201 for storing articles and a holding part for holding the camera device 300 202. That is, the door rack 200 has the functions of the door rack for a refrigerator and the stand for a refrigerator described in the claims. In addition, it can also be said that the holding part 202 corresponds to a mounted part for mounting the imaging mechanism. In addition, when looking at the accommodating part 201, it can also be said that the door rack 200 is provided adjacent to the camera device 300 held by the holding part 202 (that is, the imaging mechani...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0222] Below, refer to Figure 30 to Figure 35 A third embodiment will be described. Here, the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same configurations as those of the above-mentioned first embodiment and second embodiment, and will be described.

[0223] First, refer to Figure 30 Functions included in refrigerator 700 of the present embodiment will be described. Refrigerator 700 has control function block 701 (control mechanism), photographing function block 702 (photographing mechanism), lighting function block 703 (lighting mechanism), opening detection function block 704 (door opening detection mechanism), opening degree detection function block 705 (opening degree) detection mechanism), illuminance detection function block 706 (illuminance detection mechanism), communication function block 707 (communication mechanism, reporting mechanism), etc. Here, the reason why each functional block is represented by a function name is that various combinations can be co...

Abstract

The refrigerator 1 is equipped with an imaging camera 18 (imaging means) and a communication unit 52 (communication means) for transmitting an image captured by the imaging camera 18 to an external device.

Description

[0001] The present invention is a divisional application of the following application, and the original application information is as follows: [0002] Application date: March 11, 2014 [0003] Application number: 201480014441.5 [0004] Title of Invention: Refrigerator, camera device, door shelf for refrigerator, communication terminal, home appliance network system, and image display program in the box technical field [0005] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a refrigerator, a camera device, a door rack for a refrigerator, a stand for a refrigerator, a communication terminal, a home appliance network system, and an image display program in a box. Background technique [0006] Conventionally, there has been proposed a system for managing ingredients by photographing the inside of a box to recognize and manage ingredients (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0007] However, there are users who want to easily check the inside of the refrigerator. [0...
