[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] First embodiment of the method

[0026] FIG1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a method for detecting objects in a vehicle refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0027] Step S1: Obtain weight data K0 of items in a refrigerator drawer;

[0028] Step S2: performing a comparison analysis based on the obtained item weight data K0 and the preset comparison factors;

[0029] Step S3: Determine whether to activate an alarm or remind the user based on the comparison and analysis results.

[0030] For example, in step S1 of this embodiment, the method of obtaining the weight data K0 of the items in the refrigerator drawer includes:

[0031] Four half-bridge resistive sensors are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the refrigerator drawer. They are connected in parallel to form a full-bridge circuit. A support plate is installed on the four sensors, and items are placed on the support plate. The gravity of the items acts on the support plate, which is transmitted to the deformation part of the sensor, causing a change in resistance. Through the AD circuit, the resistance value is converted into a gravity value to obtain the weight data K0.

[0032] As another embodiment, the vehicle refrigerator may be provided with a beverage area and a fruit area, and the quantity of items in the beverage area and the fruit area are obtained respectively;

[0033] The method of separately obtaining the quantity of items in the beverage area and the fruit area includes setting up a camera device to identify the quantity of items in the beverage area and the fruit area in the refrigerator through the captured images.

[0034] In step S2, the comparison factors may include multiple factors, such as weight value, quantity value and time value.

[0035] Second embodiment of the method

[0036] FIG2 is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a method for detecting items in a vehicle refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0037] Step S4: Setting the minimum detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1;

[0038] Step S1: Obtain weight data K0 of items in a refrigerator drawer;

[0039] In this embodiment, in step S1, obtaining the item weight data K0 is obtaining the item weight data exceeding the shortest detection time T0;

[0040] Exemplarily, the shortest detection time T0 is set to 2 seconds. Then, in step S1, the item weight data K0 obtained is valid only if it is more than 2 seconds. This is mainly to prevent the vehicle from bumping during running, causing the items in the refrigerator to bounce briefly, resulting in weight changes and errors.

[0041] Step S2: performing a comparison analysis based on the obtained item weight data K0 and the preset comparison factors;

[0042] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0043] Step S3: Determine whether to activate an alarm or remind the user based on the comparison and analysis results.

[0044] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0045] In this embodiment, if the change value of the item weight data K0 is less than the preset change threshold after exceeding the no-change detection time T1, an alarm is activated, or a reminder is given to the user, indicating that the item has not been taken for a long time; illustratively, the no-change detection time T1 is set to 10 days, or 15 days, etc.; the preset change threshold can be set to 200g, or 500g, etc.; therefore, if the item weight data K0 exceeds 10 days and its weight change value is within the range of 200g, it means that most of the items in the refrigerator may not have been taken, there is a risk of expiration, and they need to be cleaned up in time.

[0046] Third embodiment of the method

[0047] FIG3 is a flow chart of a third embodiment of a method for detecting items in a vehicle refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0048] Step S5: setting a first preset weight threshold K1 and a second preset weight threshold K2;

[0049] Step S4: Setting the minimum detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1;

[0050] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0051] Step S1: Obtain weight data K0 of items in a refrigerator drawer;

[0052] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] Step S2: performing a comparison analysis based on the obtained item weight data K0 and the preset comparison factors;

[0054] In this embodiment, step S2 includes:

[0055] If the item weight data K0 is less than the first preset weight threshold K1, an alarm is activated, or a reminder is given to the user, indicating that the item is insufficient;

[0056] If the item weight data K0 is greater than the second preset weight threshold K2, an alarm is activated, or a reminder is given to the user, indicating that the item storage is full.

[0057] Step S3: Determine whether to activate an alarm or remind the user based on the comparison and analysis results.

[0058] In this embodiment, for example, the first preset weight threshold K1 is set to 300g, because a small bottle of cola or other beverage is generally about 350ml, or an apple weighs 100g. If the detected item weight data K0 is less than 300g, it means that there is not a single bottle of water in the car refrigerator, and an alarm is activated, or a reminder is given to the user, indicating that the item is insufficient.

[0059] For example, the maximum capacity of the car refrigerator is the second preset weight threshold K2, which generally can hold 6-10 bottles of beverages or 3-5 kilograms of fruits such as apples. In this case, K2 is set to 3000g. If the item weight data K0 is detected to be greater than 3000g, an alarm is activated, or a reminder is given to the user, indicating that the items are full, and reminding the user that there is no need to purchase new items to put in the refrigerator.

[0060] Fourth embodiment of the method

[0061] FIG4 is a flow chart of a fourth embodiment of a method for detecting objects in a vehicle refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0062] Step S5: setting a first preset weight threshold K1 and a second preset weight threshold K2;

[0063] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the third embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0064] Step S4: Setting the minimum detection time T0 and the no-change detection time T1;

[0065] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the second embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] Step S1: Obtain weight data K0 of items in a refrigerator drawer;

[0067] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] Step S6: Obtain the change value of the weight data K0 of the item when it changes for the most recent N times;

[0069] Step S7: Analyze and obtain the user's habit factors based on the change parameters of the item weight data K0 during the most recent N changes; the habit factors include the K0 change time period or the K0 change amount;

[0070] For example, in this embodiment, the change values ​​of the item weight data K0 for the last 20 times are obtained for big data analysis. For example, if 10 of the last 20 times change between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, or between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, it means that the user of the vehicle often takes items from the refrigerator between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM or between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

[0071] For another example, in the most recent 20 times, the weight of the items decreased by 700 g in 10 of the times, which means that the user of the vehicle often takes 2 bottles of water each time, and there may be 2 people riding in the vehicle frequently.

[0072] Step S8: Automatically start the vehicle refrigerator refrigeration system in advance based on habit factors; or remind the user whether the number of items is sufficient based on habit factors.

[0073] In this step, operations are performed according to the analysis results of step S7; for example, the car refrigerator refrigeration system is automatically turned on half an hour in advance before 1 pm and 5 pm; or when the weight of the items in the car refrigerator is less than 700g, or less than 1400g (less than 4 bottles of water, only enough for two people to use once), the user is reminded or an alarm is sounded.

[0074] Step S2: performing a comparison analysis based on the obtained item weight data K0 and the preset comparison factors;

[0075] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0076] Step S3: Determine whether to activate an alarm or remind the user based on the comparison and analysis results.

[0077] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0078] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, step S7 and step S8 are executed simultaneously with step S1 and step S2.

[0080] FIG5 is a flow chart of a fourth embodiment of a method for detecting objects in a vehicle refrigerator according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0081] Step S91: The vehicle refrigerator is connected to an external mobile terminal via wireless;

[0082] Step S1: Obtain weight data K0 of items in a refrigerator drawer;

[0083] Step S92: the external mobile terminal obtains the weight data K0 of the items in the vehicle refrigerator;

[0084] Step S93: The external mobile terminal reminds the user whether to add items based on the item weight data K0, or sends an instruction to the vehicle refrigerator;

[0085] Step S2: performing a comparison analysis based on the obtained item weight data K0 and the preset comparison factors;

[0086] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.

[0087] Step S3: Determine whether to activate an alarm or remind the user based on the comparison and analysis results.

[0088] The principle of this step is the same as that of the corresponding step in the first embodiment of the method, and will not be repeated here.
