[0050] Refrigeration equipment 400; input device 410; control device 420. Detailed Implementation

[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0053] The control method, control device, electronic device, and readable storage medium of the refrigeration equipment provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0054] The control method for the refrigeration equipment can be applied to the terminal, and can be executed by the hardware or software in the terminal.

[0055] The terminal includes, but is not limited to, portable communication devices such as mobile phones or tablets with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads). It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the terminal may not be a portable communication device, but rather a desktop computer with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads).

[0056] The following embodiments describe a terminal including a display and a touch-sensitive surface. However, it should be understood that the terminal may include one or more other physical user interface devices such as a physical keyboard, mouse, and joystick.

[0057] The control method for a refrigeration device provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a refrigeration device or an electronic device, or by a functional module or functional entity in a refrigeration device or electronic device that can implement the control method for the refrigeration device. The electronic devices mentioned in this application embodiment include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, computers, cameras, and wearable devices. The control method for a refrigeration device provided in this application embodiment will be described below using an electronic device as the execution subject.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the refrigeration equipment includes steps 110, 120 and 130.

[0059] It should be noted that the refrigeration equipment in this embodiment can be understood as a broad refrigeration storage device, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cases, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, refrigerated display cases, and refrigerated vending machines. Refrigeration equipment has diverse structural forms and a wide range of applications.

[0060] Step 110: Receive the user's first input.

[0061] In this step, the first input is used to determine the object to be taken.

[0062] The object to be retrieved is the object that the user needs to retrieve from the refrigeration equipment. For example, the object to be retrieved can be meat or fruits and vegetables in the refrigeration equipment.

[0063] The first input can be in at least one of the following ways:

[0064] Firstly, the first input can be a touch operation, including but not limited to click, swipe, and press operations.

[0065] In this embodiment, receiving the user's first input can be receiving the user's touch operation on the display area of ​​the terminal screen.

[0066] To reduce the rate of user error, the effective area of ​​the first input can be limited to a specific area, such as the upper middle area of ​​the display panel interface of the refrigeration equipment; or, when the interface for confirming the object to be picked up is displayed, the target control can be displayed on the current interface, and touching the target control can realize the first input; or the first input can be set to a continuous multiple taps on the display area within a target time interval.

[0067] Secondly, the first input can be a physical button input.

[0068] In this embodiment, the terminal is equipped with physical buttons on its body that correspond to the food or items stored in the refrigeration equipment. The first input from the user can be the user pressing the corresponding physical button; the first input can also be a combination of pressing multiple physical buttons simultaneously.

[0069] Thirdly, the first input can be voice input.

[0070] In this implementation, when the terminal receives a voice message such as "Get me an apple," it can trigger an interface that displays an apple as the object to be retrieved.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the first input may also be in other forms, including but not limited to character input, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0072] Step 120: In response to the first input, obtain the storage status of the object to be retrieved;

[0073] In this step, the storage status is used to characterize the storage status of the object to be retrieved within the refrigeration equipment.

[0074] For example, one can obtain information about the storage status of the object to be retrieved by querying a database or a data structure in memory that is synchronized with the internal state of the refrigeration equipment.

[0075] Storage conditions include whether the object to be retrieved exists in the cooling device or not.

[0076] For example, a search can be performed using the name, barcode, RFID tag identifier, or other unique identifier of the object to be retrieved. If a record matching the unique identifier is found, it can be determined that the object to be retrieved exists in the refrigeration equipment, and more detailed storage information can be obtained.

[0077] If no record matching the unique identifier exists, it can be determined that the object to be retrieved does not exist in the refrigeration equipment, and a corresponding message can be displayed to the user through the user interface.

[0078] If the object to be retrieved exists in the refrigeration equipment, the storage information includes the storage location information corresponding to the object to be retrieved.

[0079] Storage location information may include the shelf number, drawer number, door number, or location coordinates of the object to be retrieved.

[0080] Location information can be stored in the database along with other attributes of the object to be retrieved (such as name or expiration date) for retrieval.

[0081] For example, if the object to be retrieved is in a refrigerated unit, the system might display a prompt containing information about its location: "Your apple is in the second-level left drawer."

[0082] If the object to be retrieved does not exist in the refrigeration equipment, the system may display a message such as: "Sorry, the apple you requested could not be found."

[0083] In some embodiments, a voice recognition system may be installed within the refrigeration equipment.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first input can be voice input.

[0085] For example, a user can use a specific wake word to activate the voice assistant, and then input the name of the object to be retrieved via voice, such as "apple" or "carrot".

[0086] The built-in voice recognition system can convert the user's voice instructions into text information, identify the food name, compare the food name with the food database, and determine whether the corresponding food exists in the refrigeration equipment, so as to determine the storage status of the object to be retrieved.

[0087] Step 130: Based on the storage status, control the cooling equipment to enter the working mode corresponding to the storage status.

[0088] In this step, the operating mode of the refrigeration equipment will vary depending on the storage conditions of the object to be retrieved within the refrigeration equipment.

[0089] For example, if it is determined that the object to be retrieved exists in the refrigeration equipment based on the storage situation, the working mode may include voice announcement of the storage location of the object to be retrieved, display of the storage location of the object to be retrieved on the screen or in the APP, or display of light at the storage location of the object to be retrieved, or other forms of working mode, which can be selected based on user needs, and this application does not limit them.

[0090] When it is determined that the object to be retrieved does not exist in the refrigeration device based on the storage object, the working mode may include a voice broadcast: "The object to be retrieved was not found in the refrigeration device," or a prompt message displayed on the screen or in the APP: "The object to be retrieved was not found in the refrigeration device." Alternatively, it may be other forms of working mode, which can be selected based on user needs, and this application does not limit them.

[0091] According to the control method of the refrigeration equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, the storage status of the object to be retrieved by the user is obtained through user input, and the refrigeration equipment is controlled to enter the corresponding working mode based on the storage status of the object to be retrieved in the refrigeration equipment. This simplifies the user operation process, improves the convenience and intuitiveness of use, and enhances the user experience.

[0092] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, step 130 may include:

[0093] If it is determined from the storage situation that the object to be retrieved exists in the refrigeration equipment, the storage location information corresponding to the object to be retrieved is obtained from the storage situation.

[0094] The area corresponding to the storage location information is controlled to enter the first display mode.

[0095] In this embodiment, the area corresponding to the storage location information may include the area above, bottom, or side wall near the storage location of the object to be retrieved.

[0096] Controlling the area corresponding to the storage location information to enter the first display mode may include: highlighting or marking the area corresponding to the storage location information, for example, highlighting or marking the area through lighting, screen display or color change.

[0097] In some embodiments, controlling the area corresponding to the stored location information to enter a first display mode includes:

[0098] Based on the storage location information, the target indicator light that is closest to the object to be retrieved is determined from multiple indicator lights;

[0099] Control the target indicator light to enter the first display mode.

[0100] In this embodiment, the refrigeration equipment may include at least one compartment.

[0101] Indicator lights are installed at different locations within the compartment. For example, multiple indicator lights can be arranged on the inner wall of the compartment, or at the bottom of the partition in the compartment, or in other locations. This application does not limit the specific locations.

[0102] Based on the storage location information of the object to be retrieved, the relative distance between the location of the object to be retrieved and each indicator light can be calculated. Then, one or more indicator lights that are closest to the object to be retrieved can be selected from multiple indicator lights as target indicator lights.

[0103] The first display mode may include changing the color of the indicator light, increasing the brightness, or changing the flashing frequency.

[0104] Once the target indicator light is identified, a command can be sent to the control unit corresponding to the indicator light to cause the indicator light to enter the first display mode.

[0105] In some embodiments, controlling the target indicator light to enter a first display mode may include:

[0106] Retrieve the category information of the object to be retrieved based on storage conditions;

[0107] The target indicator light is controlled to display a color corresponding to the category information.

[0108] In this embodiment, the storage information may include the category information of the object to be retrieved.

[0109] When storing food items and other items in refrigeration equipment, the category information of the food items can be recorded simultaneously.

[0110] If it is determined that there is an object to be retrieved stored inside the refrigeration equipment, the category information of the object to be retrieved can be obtained based on the storage status of the object.

[0111] The category information of the object to be retrieved can include vegetables, fruits, meat, or beverages, etc.

[0112] Different categories of items correspond to different levels of recognition, and the display color of the indicator light can be controlled according to the category information of the item to be picked up.

[0113] For example, when the item to be taken is a vegetable, the target indicator light can be controlled to display green; when the item to be taken is a fruit, the target indicator light can be controlled to display yellow or orange; when the item to be taken is meat, the target indicator light can be controlled to display red; and when the item to be taken is a beverage, the target indicator light can be controlled to display blue.

[0114] For example, when the object to be taken is a red food such as an apple or tomato, the target indicator light can be controlled to display red; when the object to be taken is a yellow food such as a carrot or cucumber, the target indicator light can be controlled to display yellow; when the object to be taken is a green food such as spinach or lettuce, the target indicator light can be controlled to display green; when the object to be taken is a blue food such as blueberries, the target indicator light can be controlled to display blue; and when the object to be taken is a white food such as garlic or onion, the target indicator light can be controlled to display white.

[0115] The correspondence between stored items and colors in the refrigerator can be established based on the user's experience; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0116] like Figure 2As shown, when there are items to be retrieved stored in the refrigeration equipment, the target indicator light can be controlled to display the corresponding light color and flash according to the food management database. This is used to indicate the location of the items to be retrieved to the user. The user can find and retrieve the items based on the display of the target indicator light.

[0117] According to the control method of the refrigeration equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, the indicator light corresponding to the storage location of the object to be retrieved is controlled by the category information of the object to be retrieved, which makes it easier for users to quickly locate the object to be retrieved, making it convenient and quick, and improving the intuitiveness of the use process.

[0118] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, controlling the refrigeration device to enter an operating mode corresponding to the storage condition may include:

[0119] If, based on the storage situation, it is determined that the object to be retrieved does not exist in the refrigeration equipment, the refrigeration equipment is controlled to output a prompt message.

[0120] In this embodiment, the prompt information may include displaying text or icons on the display screen of the refrigeration equipment, sound alarms (such as beeping), sending notifications via a mobile APP, or voice broadcasts. The form of the prompt information can be selected based on user needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0121] For example, the message could be: "The item you are trying to retrieve is not in the refrigeration unit. Please check if it has been removed or repositioned."

[0122] The notification message can be used to remind users to replenish such ingredients or items in a timely manner.

[0123] In some embodiments, controlling the refrigeration device to output a prompt message may include:

[0124] The system provides voice prompts to control the refrigeration equipment.

[0125] In this embodiment, a speech synthesis module can be installed inside the refrigeration equipment to convert text information into speech and broadcast it.

[0126] The cooling device can also connect to an external smart speaker or other voice output device via wireless connection such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and broadcast prompts through the external voice broadcast device.

[0127] Alternatively, the text information to be broadcast can be sent to a cloud server, which will convert the text into speech and then return the speech data to the cooling device or a connected speech output device for broadcast.

[0128] The broadcast method can be selected based on user needs; this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0129] According to the control method of the refrigeration equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, when the refrigeration equipment does not contain the object to be taken, the information can be promptly conveyed to the user through voice prompts. This is intuitive and easy to understand. Moreover, for users with poor eyesight or who cannot use visual prompts, voice prompts provide an accessible way to obtain information, thus broadening the applicable scenarios.

[0130] In some embodiments, prior to step 110, the method may further include:

[0131] Receive the user's second input;

[0132] In response to the second input, store the storage location information.

[0133] In this embodiment, the second input is used to input the storage location information of the object to be stored.

[0134] The items to be stored are food ingredients or other items that need to be stored in the refrigeration equipment.

[0135] The second input can be the same as the first input, such as touch operation, physical button input, voice input, or any other feasible input method, which will not be elaborated here.

[0136] Locators (such as RFID tags or Bluetooth beacons) can be installed at different locations in the compartments of the refrigeration equipment. After the object to be stored is placed in the refrigeration equipment, the position sensor can automatically detect the approximate location of the object.

[0137] Users can view the internal layout of the refrigeration equipment on the APP or the display screen of the refrigeration equipment, and select or confirm the specific storage location of the object to be stored (such as drawer 1 or shelf 2, etc.) according to the actual situation inside the refrigeration equipment.

[0138] In response to the second input, the storage location information of the object to be stored can be stored in the backend database and associated with other information of the object to be stored.

[0139] In some embodiments, position sensors may be installed at different locations within the compartments of the refrigeration equipment. Prior to step 110, the method may further include:

[0140] Receive a third input from the user; the third input is used to determine the object to be stored.

[0141] In response to the third input, obtain the storage location information of the object to be stored.

[0142] Store location information.

[0143] In this embodiment, the third input can be the same as the first input, such as touch operation, physical button input, voice input, or any other feasible input method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0144] For example, when a user needs to store an object in a refrigeration device, they can tell the name of the object by voice and activate the image acquisition device on the door of the refrigeration device to identify the food.

[0145] The image acquisition device can use image recognition technology to identify the types of ingredients and compare them with voice input for confirmation.

[0146] When an object to be stored is placed in a certain location within the refrigeration equipment, the position sensor at that location can detect the presence of the object and report it to the backend system.

[0147] The back-end system can combine the types of ingredients identified by the image sensor with the storage location information output by the position sensor to automatically complete the storage and location maintenance of ingredient information.

[0148] According to the control method of the refrigeration equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, the storage information of food is maintained by means of voice input or automatic detection of storage location information, which reduces manual operation by users, improves the degree of automation, and improves the accuracy and precision of positioning.

[0149] The control device for the refrigeration equipment provided in this application is described below. The control device for the refrigeration equipment described below can be referred to in correspondence with the control method for the refrigeration equipment described above.

[0150] The control method for refrigeration equipment provided in this application can be executed by a control device for the refrigeration equipment. This application uses the example of a control device for the refrigeration equipment executing the control method to illustrate the control device for the refrigeration equipment provided in this application.

[0151] This application also provides a control device for a refrigeration equipment.

[0152] like Figure 3 As shown, the control device of the refrigeration equipment includes: a first processing module 310, a second processing module 320 and a third processing module 330.

[0153] The first processing module 310 is used to receive the user's first input, which is used to determine the object to be taken.

[0154] The second processing module 320 is used to respond to the first input and obtain the storage status of the object to be retrieved; the storage status includes whether the object to be retrieved exists in the refrigeration equipment or whether the object to be retrieved does not exist in the refrigeration equipment; if the object to be retrieved exists in the refrigeration equipment, the storage status includes the storage location information of the object to be retrieved.

[0155] The third processing module 330 is used to control the cooling equipment to enter the working mode corresponding to the storage status based on the storage status.

[0156] According to the control device of the refrigeration equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, the storage status of the object to be retrieved by the user is obtained through user input, and the refrigeration equipment is controlled to enter the corresponding working mode based on the storage status of the object to be retrieved in the refrigeration equipment. This simplifies the user operation process, improves the convenience and intuitiveness of use, and enhances the user experience.

[0157] In some embodiments, the third processing module 330 can also be used for:

[0158] If it is determined from the storage situation that the object to be retrieved exists in the refrigeration equipment, the storage location information corresponding to the object to be retrieved is obtained from the storage situation.

[0169] The system provides voice prompts to control the refrigeration equipment.

[0170] In some embodiments, the control device of the refrigeration equipment may further include a fourth processing module, which is used to receive a second input from the user before receiving the first input from the user, the second input being used to input the storage location information of the object to be stored;

[0171] In response to the second input, store the storage location information.

[0172] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides a refrigeration device 400, including: an input device 410 and a control device 420.

[0173] In this embodiment, the input device 410 is used to receive the user's first input.
