Refrigerator and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a refrigerator and a control method of the refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a machine shell, refrigerator doors, an RFID module and a controller. The RFID module comprises a reader and a label box. The controller is configured to conduct the steps of monitoring user operation according to a sequence code, read by the reader, of each label in the label box; responding to the user operation, and acquiring operation information and food material information corresponding to a target sequence code, wherein the operation information comprises the operation type and position information; generating an operation record corresponding to the target sequence code according to the operation information and the food material information, and inputting the operation record into a record access database; and changing the storage state of a label, corresponding to the target sequence code, in a label database. According to the refrigerator and the control method of therefrigerator, the independent perception of RFID is achieved through the RFID module, the structural transformation of the refrigerator is small, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Meanwhile, automatic input operation of relevant information of food material storage and taking operation of a user and automatic updating operation and management of the label database can be achieved, and the intelligence of the refrigerator and the usage experience of the user are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of smart home appliances, in particular to a refrigerator and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Refrigerators are commonly used electrical equipment in daily life. By cooling the ingredients, such as refrigerating or freezing, the preservation and storage of ingredients can be realized. Users can store ingredients in the refrigerator or take out the required ingredients from the refrigerator. By selecting the types of ingredients, Information such as the storage location of ingredients can be identified and entered, which can realize the intelligent management of refrigerators. [0003] At present, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been gradually applied to smart refrigerators, and its principle is to identify objects through non-contact data communication between readers and electronic tags. At present, common RFID refrigerators generally install RFID antennas in mu...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, this method requires a large structural modification of the refrigerator, and more RFID antennas need to be arranged. Refrigerators with different volumes require different sizes of RFID antennas. The development costs of RFID antennas of different sizes are high, and signal shielding processing is required between RFID antennas. The process is complicated and the cost is high
