[0065] In order to make the purpose, implementation mode and advantages of the present application clearer, the exemplary implementation mode of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0066] It should be noted that the brief description of terms in this application is only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their common and usual meanings.

[0067] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device comprising a list of components is not necessarily limited to those components expressly listed but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such products or devices.

[0068] With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to maintaining good health through a reasonable diet. People's health is closely related to diet, and refrigerators are used to store the food needed in people's daily lives, making refrigerators a household appliance that people use very frequently.

[0069] Currently, refrigerators can monitor the food stored by users and, for example, remind users of expired food.

[0070] However, when users use the refrigerator, their usage habits may vary. In an ordinary family, there may be differences between the elderly and children. For different family members, how to distinguish the identity of the current user (such as father, mother, child, etc.) so as to control the refrigerator to provide health reminders is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0071] Therefore, the present application provides a refrigerator. By setting a first sensor on the door of the refrigerator, the first sensor determines the position touched by the user when opening the door, and determines the identity of the user through the position, so that during the use of the refrigerator, reasonable health reminders can be given to the user, thereby improving the user's intelligent experience.

[0072] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other or exist independently. The same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0073] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 It is a front view of a refrigerator 10, which includes a body 101, a door 102, a storage chamber (not shown in the figure), and a controller (not shown in the figure).

[0074] The door body 102 is used to open, access and close the storage chamber. A switch operating part 21 is provided on the door body 102 so that a user can operate the door body 102 to open or close it through the switch operating part 21 .

[0075] The storage room may include a refrigerator and a freezer. For a double-door refrigerator, the refrigerator and the freezer are arranged up and down. For a double-door refrigerator, the refrigerator and the freezer are arranged left and right. The door body 102 includes two doors, which are used to open or close the refrigerator and the freezer respectively. Figure 1 The exemplary refrigerator 10 is a side-by-side refrigerator.

[0076] The first sensor 22 ( Figure 1 The controller is disposed in the box 101 and is electrically connected to the first sensor 22. Figure 1 The dotted frame is the location of the switch operating unit 21.

[0077] The first sensor 22 is used to obtain trigger information when the target user opens the door body 102 through the switch operating part 21, and the trigger information includes the touch position information of the target user.

[0078] The controller is used to provide health prompts to the target user according to the trigger information, and the specific implementation is described through the following method embodiment.

[0079] In order to clearly show the switch operating part 21 on the door body 102, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a door body 102 provided in the present embodiment, Figure 2 The view is the side of the door body 102 facing the storage room, such as Figure 2 As shown, the switch operating part 21 is arranged in a groove on the left side of the door body 102, and the right side is the side where the door body 102 is connected to the box body 101.

[0080] The switch operating portion 21 includes a plurality of position areas, and the plurality of position areas are respectively located at different height positions of the switch operating portion 21. Figure 2 The number of location areas shown is only an example.

[0081] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the first sensor 22 is a capacitive touch panel, and the first sensor 22 can be arranged to cover multiple position areas, that is, a one-piece capacitive touch panel is installed on the switch operating part 21 to obtain the position touched by the target user.

[0082] Accordingly, the first sensor 22 is specifically used for:

[0083] When the target user touches the first sensor 22, a capacitance signal of the touch point is acquired, and touch position information is determined according to the capacitance signal.

[0084] Specifically, when the user touches the first sensor 22, due to the human body's electric field, a coupling voltage is formed between the finger and the conductor layer, and the current emitted by the four-sided electrodes will flow to the contact point (ie, the touch point), and the strength of the current is proportional to the distance between the finger and the electrode. The controller can determine the position of the contact point based on the proportion and strength of the current.

[0085] That is, when a finger touches the first sensor 22, the capacitance of the contact point will change, causing the frequency of the oscillator connected thereto to change, and the touch position can be determined by measuring the frequency change.

[0086] The above-mentioned touch position information may be the coordinate position of the touch point.

[0087] In one possible implementation, Figure 4 As shown, the first sensor 22 is a capacitive touch button, and there are multiple first sensors 22, which are respectively located in multiple position areas of the switch operating part. That is, multiple capacitive touch buttons are installed at different height positions of the switch operating part 21 to obtain the position touched by the target user.

[0088] Exemplarily, the intervals between the locations of the plurality of first sensors 22 may be 5 cm (centimeter), or may be set to 1 cm, which is not limited in the present application.

[0089] In one possible implementation, Figure 5 As shown, the first sensor 22 can be a distance measuring sensor, and the first sensor 22 is arranged at the bottom of the switch operating part 21, that is, by installing the distance measuring sensor at the bottom of the switch operating part 21, the distance between the touch position of the target user and the first sensor is obtained, so as to determine the position touched by the target user.

[0090] Accordingly, the first sensor 22 is specifically used for:

[0091] like Figure 5As shown, the first sensor 22 emits light toward the top direction of the switch operating part 321. When the target user touches the first sensor 22, the reflected light of the target user is received, and the distance from the first sensor 22 to the touch position of the target user is determined based on the reflected light and the emitted light. The touch position information is determined as the distance from the first sensor 22 to the touch position of the target user.

[0092] For example, the first sensor 22 may determine the distance by using the propagation speed of light and the time difference between the emitted light and the reflected light.

[0093] Based on the above refrigerator, Figure 6 A flowchart of a refrigerator control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0094] S601. When a target user opens a door through a switch operating unit, trigger information is acquired through a first sensor, where the trigger information includes touch position information of the target user.

[0095] When the target user uses the refrigerator, he can open the door through the switch operating part on the door, and the first sensor can sense the user's touch to obtain trigger information, which includes the touch position information of the target user.

[0096] In a possible implementation, the touch position information may also include the first moment when the door is opened, and the first moment may be used to determine the time period when the target user uses the refrigerator, such as morning, afternoon, evening or early morning.

[0097] The first sensor can send trigger information to the controller, so that the controller can provide health prompts to the target user according to the trigger information.

[0098] S602: Determine the health information of the target user according to the touch position information through the controller.

[0099] The controller can determine the health information of the target user based on the touch position information.

[0100] The user's health information may include the user's age, diseases the user suffers from (such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, etc.), user allergy information (such as allergies to certain foods), etc.

[0101] S603. Generate prompt information based on the health information through the controller, and the prompt information is used to provide health prompts to the target user.

[0102] After the controller obtains the user information, it can generate prompt information based on the health information, and the prompt information is used to provide health prompts to the target user.

[0103] Exemplarily, the target user is a father. When it is detected that the target user is using a refrigerator, a prompt message can be generated based on the father's health information (for example, the father's stomach health is poor). For example, the prompt message can be: For the sake of your stomach health, it is recommended that you do not drink cold food.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the target user opens the door body through the switch operating part, the trigger information is obtained through the first sensor, and the trigger information includes the touch position information of the target user. The controller determines the user information of the target user according to the touch position information, and the user information includes the health information of the target user. The controller generates prompt information according to the health information, and the prompt information is used to provide health prompts to the target user. The present application determines the touch position information of the user through the first sensor set on the switch operating part on the door body, thereby determining the user information of the user, so that reasonable health reminders can be provided to the user during the use of the refrigerator, thereby improving the user's intelligent experience.

[0105] Next, how the controller obtains the health information of the target user is described.

[0106] Figure 7 A flow chart of another refrigerator control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the method can be executed by the above controller, and the method can include the following steps:

[0107] S701. Obtain a preset corresponding relationship, where the preset corresponding relationship includes user identifiers of multiple family members and a location area corresponding to each user identifier.

[0108] The refrigerator may store a preset correspondence relationship of the target user's family, where the preset correspondence relationship includes user identifiers of multiple family members and a location area corresponding to each user identifier.

[0109] It can be understood that the location area corresponding to each user identifier can be represented by a preset identifier, that is, different identifiers represent different location areas, and each family becomes a corresponding location area. It can be a location area that the user is accustomed to touching when opening the refrigerator door, or it can be determined according to the user's height, such as Figure 8 As shown, the height of user A is shorter than that of user B, so the height of the position area touched by user A when opening the door of the refrigerator is smaller than the height of the position area touched by user B when opening the door of the refrigerator.

[0110] The refrigerator can collect the location areas corresponding to multiple family members in advance to form a preset corresponding relationship.

[0111] S702: Determine, according to the touch position information, a target position area touched by the target user in multiple position areas.

[0112] After receiving the touch position information, the controller may determine, according to the touch position information, a target position area touched by the target user among the multiple position areas.

[0113] In a possible implementation, if the first sensor is a capacitive touch panel, the touch position information may be the position coordinates of the touch point where the target user touches the first sensor, and the controller may determine the target position area where the position coordinates are located among multiple position areas.

[0114] In one possible implementation, if the first sensor is a capacitive touch button, the touch position information may include the capacitance generated by the target sensor (i.e., one of the multiple first sensors) touched by the user, and the controller may receive trigger information sent by the target sensor, which may include an identifier of the target sensor. Since the installation positions of the multiple first sensors are known, the installation position of the target sensor can be determined based on the identifier of the target sensor, so as to determine the target position area touched by the target user based on the installation position.

[0115] In a possible implementation, if the first sensor is a distance measuring sensor, the touch position information may be the distance from the first sensor to the touch position of the target user, and the controller may determine the target position area touched by the target user according to the distance. Fig. 9 For example, Fig. 9 is a height range corresponding to the multiple position areas, and the controller can determine the height range where the touch position of the target user is located according to the distance, thereby determining the target position area.

[0116] S703: Determine a first identifier of the target user in a preset corresponding relationship according to the target location area.

[0117] After determining the target location area, the controller may determine the first identifier of the target user in the preset corresponding relationship.

[0118] S704: Obtain health information of the target user according to the first identifier.

[0119] The refrigerator may pre-store the health information corresponding to each family member in the cloud. For example, the health information may be input by the user.

[0120] After the controller determines the first identifier, it can obtain the health information of the target user from the stored health information corresponding to each family member according to the first identifier, thereby providing health prompts to the user.

[0121] In this embodiment, a preset correspondence is obtained, which includes user identifiers of multiple family members and location areas corresponding to each user identifier. Based on the touch location information, a target location area touched by the target user is determined in multiple location areas. Based on the target location area, a first identifier of the target user is determined in the preset correspondence. Based on the first identifier, the health information of the target user is obtained, so that the identity of the target user can be determined through the user's touch location during the use of the refrigerator, thereby providing health tips for the target user.

[0122] In a possible implementation, the trigger information also includes the first moment when the door is opened, and the controller is further configured to:

[0123] Detect whether the target user obtains food from the storage room;

[0124] If the target user obtains the food from the storage room, the target location area is determined based on the food information, the first moment, and the touch location information of the food.

[0125] For example, if the user often takes drinks and beer from the refrigerator and often opens the refrigerator door late at night, it can be determined that the target user corresponding to the touch position information is the father. The identity of the target user can be determined more accurately by combining the user's habits (the food stored and accessed, and the door opening time) with the touch position information.

[0126] Furthermore, the controller can provide accurate health tips to users in the following ways:

[0127] In a possible implementation, the controller is specifically configured to:

[0128] Generate prompt information based on food information, the first moment and the health information of the target user.

[0129] For example, the time period of the first moment is early morning or morning, when it is detected that the target user is a father, and the health information includes poor stomach health, and it is detected that the food obtained by the target user is beer, a prompt message can be generated: For the health of your stomach, it is not recommended to drink beer in the morning or early morning.

[0130] Exemplarily, the refrigerator detects the ingredients obtained by the user by updating the ingredient information stored in the refrigerator after the user obtains the ingredients, or the refrigerator detects it through a sensor set in the storage room, such as a near field communication sensor (NFC) set on the food. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0131] Further, such as Fig.10As shown, the controller of the refrigerator is electrically connected to the cloud server, the fan and the first sensor, so that when the user opens the door of the refrigerator, if the user's health information includes rheumatism, the controller can control the fan to close before opening the door to reduce the impact of cold wind on the user when opening the door.

[0132] Among them, the controller is electrically connected to the cloud server and the first sensor to realize the communication of the above method embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0133] The present application also provides a computer-readable storage medium, which may include: a USB flash drive, a mobile hard disk, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a disk or an optical disk, and other media that can store program codes. Specifically, the computer-readable storage medium stores program instructions, and the program instructions are used for the methods in the above embodiments.

[0134] The present application also provides a program product, which includes execution instructions stored in a readable storage medium. When the computer program is executed by a computer, the technical solution shown in the above method embodiment is executed. The specific implementation method and technical effect are similar and will not be repeated here.
