Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliances, and more particularly to a method for identifying food ingredients that combines static and dynamic elements, a storage medium, and a refrigeration device. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, users have increasingly higher demands for refrigeration equipment, making intelligent transformation a new research and development direction for refrigeration equipment. Refrigeration equipment typically incorporates an image recognition system. This system usually includes a camera installed within the refrigeration unit. By recognizing photos of food stored inside the refrigeration compartment taken by the camera, the system can identify the food stored within, enabling intelligent management of the food. For example, it can inform users about the practical uses of the food and remind them to consume it promptly.
[0003] Current image recognition systems for refrigeration equipment typically use a single camera to identify a specific area. For example, a single camera might be placed on top of the bottle holder to monitor the area, or a single camera on the cabinet or door to monitor the storage and retrieval of food on multiple shelves inside the cabinet. However, this design has the following drawbacks: when there is obstruction, problems such as incomplete or incorrect food identification may occur. Users may obstruct the camera during use, and food items may also obstruct each other. If only a single camera is used to identify a specific area, such as the refrigerator compartment, the refrigeration equipment may misidentify or miss items due to mutual obstruction.
[0004] Therefore, existing image recognition systems may cause errors in the management of food information within refrigeration equipment, resulting in inaccurate food information provided to users. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, storage medium, and refrigeration device for identifying food ingredients by combining static and dynamic methods.

[0078] The third preset position can be any position between 0 degrees and 90 degrees between the door 20 and the storage room opening 111. When the door 20 moves to the third preset position, the inner space of the door 20 enters the shooting area of the second camera 32.
[0079] In this embodiment, the second shelf 13 can be disposed inside the door 20. Specifically, the second shelf 13 may include a multi-layered horizontally arranged bottle holder structure.
[0080] In this embodiment, the inner side of the door 20 can be the side of the door 20 facing the storage room opening 111 and sharing the cold air with the storage room 11.
[0081] In this embodiment, the inner space of the door 20 can refer to the storage space for storing food ingredients formed by the second shelf 13 located inside the door 20.

[0090] Reference Figure 7 Furthermore, in this embodiment, a method for identifying food ingredients that combines static and dynamic elements is provided, the identification method comprising:
[0091] Detect the position and direction of movement of the gate 20;
[0092] When the door 20 is detected to have moved to a first preset position in the opening direction, the first camera 31 is controlled to capture video, and the shooting area of the first camera 31 covers the inner space of the door 20.
[0093] When the door 20 is detected to have moved to the second preset position in the closing direction, the first camera 31 is controlled to stop recording video.
[0094] First ingredient information of ingredients stored and retrieved in the inner space of the door 20 is obtained based on the video captured by the first camera 31.
[0095] When the door 20 is detected to have moved to the third preset position in the closing direction, the second camera 32 is controlled to take a picture and store it. When the door 20 moves to the third preset position, the inner space of the door 20 enters the shooting area of the second camera 32.
[0096] The second ingredient information of the ingredients stored and retrieved in the inner space of the door 20 is obtained based on the photos taken by the second camera 32.
[0097] Based on the first ingredient information and the second ingredient information, obtain the ingredient information stored and retrieved from the inner space of the door 20.
[0098] In this embodiment, during the time period between the door 20 moving in the opening direction to the first preset position and the door 20 moving in the closing direction to the second preset position, the first camera 31 can be controlled to capture video of the user dynamically taking and placing food from the inner space of the door 20, so as to understand the storage and retrieval of food in the inner space of the door 20.
[0099] When the door 20 moves to the third preset position in the closing direction, the second camera 32 can be controlled to take a photo of the food placed statically inside the door 20. By comparing the before and after images, the storage and retrieval of the food inside the door 20 can be understood.
[0100] In actual use, when users access food inside the door 20, their hands may block the view, which may cause the food recognition results of the video of dynamic food handling captured by the first camera to be inaccurate. When food is statically placed, there may be obstruction between the food, which may cause the food recognition results of the static photos of food captured by the second camera to be inaccurate, resulting in missed recognition and recognition errors.
[0101] This embodiment, by simultaneously setting up a first camera 31 and a second camera 32, enables mutual confirmation and supplementation of the food identification results from the video of dynamic food handling captured by the first camera 31 and the static food placement photos captured by the second camera 32. The static photos and dynamic videos are mutually verified, and the situation of food storage and handling in the inner space of the door 20 is known based on the combination of the identification results captured by the second camera 32 and the first camera 31. This reduces missed identification and incorrect identification caused by hand obstruction or food obstruction, and ensures the accuracy of the identification results.
[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the method for obtaining the first ingredient information may include:
[0103] Obtain hand information from the video captured by the first camera 31;
[0104] Based on the hand information, obtain the food information carried by the hand in the video captured by the first camera 31 and mark it as the first food information;
[0105] Obtain the movement direction information of the hand carrying the food ingredient in the video captured by the first camera 31;
[0106] Based on the hand movement direction information, obtain information about the food being stored in the inner space of the door 20 or being retrieved from the inner space of the door 20, and mark it as the first food information.
[0107] In actual identification, the information of the hands in the video can be used to quickly and accurately locate the food information carried by the hands.
[0108] The direction of hand movement carrying the food can be used to determine whether the food is stored or taken out of the inner space of door 20. When the hand moves closer to the inner space of door 20, it can be determined that the food is stored inside door 20. When the hand moves further away from the inner space of door 20, it can be determined that the food is taken out of the inner space of door 20.
[0109] This setup enables accurate acquisition of the first ingredient information, and the control method is simple and easy to implement. Further, in this embodiment, the method for acquiring the second ingredient information includes:
[0110] The information of the food items taken from the inner space of the door 20 is obtained by comparing the photo currently taken by the second camera 32 with the previously stored photo taken by the second camera 32, and this information is marked as the second food item information.
[0111] This setup enables accurate acquisition of information about the second ingredient, and the control method is simple and easy to implement.
[0112] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the position of the door 20 may include a fourth preset position, a fifth preset position, and a closed position of the door 20.
[0113] In this embodiment, the fourth preset position can be any position where the door 20 and the storage compartment opening 111 are at an angle of 0 degrees to 30 degrees; the fifth preset position can be any position where the door 20 and the storage compartment opening 111 are at an angle of 0 degrees to 30 degrees. The closed position of the door 20 can be the position where the door 20 is completely closed on the storage compartment opening 111.
[0114] Reference Figure 8 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the method for identifying ingredients that combines static and dynamic elements also includes:
[0115] When the door 20 is detected to have moved to the fourth preset position along the opening direction, the second camera 32 is controlled to capture video.
[0116] When the door 20 is detected to have moved to the fifth preset position in the closing direction, the second camera 32 is controlled to stop shooting video. The shooting area of the second camera 32 covers the opening area of the storage room 11 of the refrigeration equipment 100. The third preset position is the same as the fifth preset position or is located between the fifth preset position and the door closing position.
[0117] The third food information of the food that is stored and taken out of the storage room 11 is obtained from the video captured by the second camera 32.
[0118] The food information inside the refrigeration equipment 100 is obtained based on the first food information, the second food information, and the third food information.
[0119] In this embodiment, the food information in the refrigeration equipment 100 can be the food information of the entire storage room 11.
[0120] In this embodiment, the food information within the refrigeration equipment 100 can be the food information for the entire storage room 11. The entire storage room 11 can refer to a space that includes the area inside the storage room opening 111 and the area inside the door 20, and is relatively enclosed and independent from other rooms of the refrigeration equipment 100.
[0121] During the use of the refrigeration unit 100, users may remove food items placed inside the door 20 and store them in the storage compartment 11. If the refrigeration unit 100 only identifies a specific area, such as the area within the storage compartment 11, it may record the food items moved from inside the door 20 to the storage compartment 11 as newly stored food items. However, the total amount of food stored in the refrigeration unit 100 remains unchanged. Therefore, this could lead to errors in the food information management by the refrigeration unit 100 and inaccurate food information provided to the user.
[0122] In this embodiment, the second camera 32 can be controlled to capture video of the user taking and placing food in the opening area of the storage room 11 during the time period between the door 20 moving in the opening direction to the fourth preset position and the door 20 moving in the closing direction to the fifth preset position. This allows for capturing video of food being taken and placed between the outside of the refrigeration equipment 100 and the storage room 11 or the inner space of the door 20, as well as between the storage room 11 and the inner space of the door 20, without misidentifying the interaction of food between the two as newly added food inside the refrigeration equipment.
[0123] Meanwhile, when the second camera 32 captures video of the user retrieving food from the opening area of the storage compartment 11, if the door 20 is opened at a large angle, the distance between the door 20 and the second camera 32 may be too great. Therefore, the second camera 32 may not be able to capture the retrieval of food from the inner space of the door 20, especially the food stored at the top of the inner space. Similarly, when the first camera 31 captures video of food being retrieved from the inner space of the door 20, the retrieval of certain food items may not be captured due to the user's hand obstructing the view.
[0124] Therefore, the food recognition effect is not good if the dynamic loading and unloading of food in the inner space of the door 20 is obtained only through the second camera 32 or only through the first camera 31. The food recognition results can be supplemented and confirmed by the food dynamic loading and unloading video captured by the first camera 31, the food dynamic loading and unloading video captured by the second camera 32, and the food static placement photo captured by the second camera 32. This can comprehensively obtain the information on the food stored and unloaded in the inner space of the door 20, reduce the poor recognition effect caused by the distance from the camera, the inability to capture the image, or the obstruction, and thus achieve accurate recognition of the storage and unloading of food in the inner space of the door 20.
[0125] This setup allows for the separate monitoring of food storage and retrieval in the storage room 11 and the inner space of the door 20 using a combination of static and dynamic camera recording. It also enables the monitoring of food interaction between these two areas. Therefore, it provides a comprehensive overview of food storage and retrieval throughout the entire refrigeration unit, allowing for holistic and comprehensive management of the food within the refrigeration unit 100. Furthermore, the combined static and dynamic monitoring method verifies the identification results, making the food identification results of the refrigeration unit 100 more comprehensive and accurate. The system is simple, easy to install, and occupies minimal space.
[0126] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the method for obtaining the third ingredient information may include:
[0127] Obtain hand information from the video captured by the second camera 32;
[0128] Based on the hand information, obtain the food information carried by the hand in the video captured by the second camera 32 and mark it as the third food information;
[0129] Obtain the movement direction information of the hand carrying the food ingredient in the video captured by the second camera 32;
[0130] Based on the hand movement direction information, obtain information about the food being stored in the storage room 11 or being retrieved from the storage room 11, and mark it as the third food information.
[0131] This setup enables accurate acquisition of information about the third ingredient, and the control method is simple and easy to implement.
[0132] Reference Figure 9 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the method for identifying ingredients that combines static and dynamic elements may also include:
[0133] Obtain information about the ingredients stored in the storage room 11;
[0134] Obtain information about the ingredients retrieved from the inner space of the door 20;
[0135] Determine whether the food stored in the storage room 11 contains food that was taken out from the inner space of the door 20;
[0136] If so, the food items removed from the inner space of the door 20 will be deleted from the food items stored in the storage room 11 and then marked as stored food item information.
[0137] If not, the food items stored in the storage room 11 will be directly marked as the stored food item information;
[0138] Obtain the food information stored in the inner space of the door 20;
[0139] Obtain information about the ingredients retrieved from the storage room 11;

The third camera 33 may be mounted on the door 20 and correspond to the first storage space 122 above the first shelf 12. Three first storage spaces 122 are formed on the three first shelves, therefore there are three third cameras. The sixth preset position can be any position between 0 degrees and 30 degrees between the door 20 and the storage room opening 111.
[0179] In this embodiment, the height of the lens of the third camera 33 can be located in the upper middle part of the first storage space 122. When the door 20 closes the storage room opening 111, the width is located in the middle of the width direction of the first storage space 122.

The static images captured by the third camera 33 are combined with the dynamic videos captured by the second camera. By combining static and dynamic images, the recognition results are cross-verified to ensure the accuracy of the recognition results of the food in the storage room.
[0187] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the method for obtaining the fourth ingredient information includes:
[0188] The information of the food items taken from the first storage space 122 is obtained by comparing the photo currently taken by the second camera 32 with the previously stored photo taken by the second camera 32, and this information is marked as the fourth food item information.
[0189] This setup allows for the use of both static and dynamic camera recording to monitor the storage and retrieval of food items in the storage room 11, the inner space of the door 20, and the first shelf area. It also enables the monitoring of food interaction between different areas. Therefore, it provides a comprehensive overview of the storage and retrieval of food items throughout the entire refrigeration unit, enabling holistic and all-encompassing management of the food items within the refrigeration unit 100. Furthermore, the combination of static and dynamic recordings allows for cross-verification of the identification results, resulting in more comprehensive and accurate food identification of the refrigeration unit 100.

Three first storage spaces 122 are formed on the three first shelves, therefore there are three third cameras.
[0193] The sixth preset position can be any position between 0 degrees and 30 degrees between the door 20 and the opening 111 of the storage room.
[0194] In this embodiment, a method for identifying ingredients that combines static and dynamic elements is also provided. This method may include the methods described in the first and fourth embodiments of the present invention.

[0202] When the door 20 is detected to have moved to the seventh preset position in the opening direction, the fourth camera 34 is controlled to capture video. The shooting area of the fourth camera 34 covers the opening area of the drawer 141 of the storage room 11 when it is in the open state.
[0203] When the door 20 is detected to have moved to the eighth preset position in the closing direction, the fourth camera 34 is controlled to stop recording video.
[0204] The fifth ingredient information is obtained from the video captured by the fourth camera 34, which shows the ingredients stored and taken out from the space inside the drawer 141.
[0205] Information on ingredients stored in and retrieved from the storage room 11 is obtained based on the third, fourth, and fifth ingredient information.
[0206] In this embodiment, the fourth camera 34 can be controlled to capture video of the user taking food out of the drawer 141 during the time period between the door 20 moving in the opening direction to the seventh preset position and the door 20 moving in the closing direction to the eighth preset position.
[0207] Refrigeration drawers are typically located at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, far from the first camera, resulting in poor recognition performance. Therefore, a fourth camera 34 is added to specifically capture video of the food inside drawer 141. This dynamic video is combined with the dynamic video captured by the second camera 32 to cross-verify the recognition results, thus achieving accurate identification of the food inside drawer 141. Furthermore, by combining the dynamic video captured by the fourth camera 34 with the static images captured by the third camera 33 and the dynamic video captured by the second camera, this combination of static and dynamic data ensures accurate identification of the food inside the storage room.
[0208] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the method for obtaining the fifth ingredient information includes:
[0209] Obtain hand information from the video captured by the fourth camera 34;
[0210] Based on the hand information, obtain the food information carried by the hand in the video captured by the fourth camera 34 and mark it as the fifth food information;
[0211] Obtain the movement direction information of the hand carrying the food ingredient in the video captured by the fourth camera 34;
[0212] Based on the hand movement direction information, obtain information about the food being stored in or taken out of the drawer 141 and mark it as the fifth food information.
[0213] This setup enables accurate acquisition of information about the fifth ingredient, and the control method is simple and easy to implement.
[0214] This setup allows for the use of both static and dynamic camera recording to monitor the storage and retrieval of food in each area: the storage room 11, the inner space of the door 20, the drawer 141, and the first shelf 13. It also provides information on the interaction between food items in different areas. Therefore, it enables comprehensive monitoring of the entire refrigeration unit's food storage and retrieval, achieving holistic and all-encompassing management of the food within the refrigeration unit 100. Furthermore, the combined static and dynamic recording method verifies the identification results, making the food identification results of the refrigeration unit 100 more comprehensive and accurate.

The user can correct the above food information through voice dialogue.
[0218] The food ingredient identification method also includes:
[0219] The product information is read aloud via voice.
[0220] Obtain user feedback information;
[0221] The accuracy of the reported ingredient information is determined based on user feedback.
[0222] If not, change the ingredient information based on user feedback.
[0223] For example, when the door 20 is closed, the refrigeration device 100 can announce the type and quantity of food that has been stored or retrieved, such as "store one apple". The user can provide feedback on the information announced by the refrigeration device 100 through voice reply, such as "change to store one pear". The refrigeration device 100 can then correct the above food information based on the user's feedback.

[0231] By adopting the technical solution in this application, it is possible to mutually confirm and supplement the food identification results by using video of dynamic food handling and photos of static food placement. The static photos and dynamic videos are mutually verified, and the storage and handling of food in each area of the storage room 11, door 20, first shelf 13, and drawer 141 can be accurately determined based on the combination of the shooting and identification results. This reduces omissions and errors caused by hand obstruction or food obstruction, ensuring the accuracy of the identification results. At the same time, it can also understand the interaction of food between different areas. Therefore, it can achieve a holistic understanding of the storage and handling of food in the entire space of the refrigeration equipment, realizing comprehensive and all-round management of food in the refrigeration equipment 100.
