[0047] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present disclosure provides a refrigeration appliance 10, which comprises a cabinet 11, a cabinet door 12, an image acquisition device 13, a processor, and an interactive terminal 20. The cabinet 11 is internally provided with a storage space for storing food. For example, the cabinet 11 is internally provided with one or more drawers 14, and the internal space of one drawer 14 is a storage space. For another example, the cabinet 11 is internally provided with one or more shelves 15, and the space formed between the shelves 15 and between the shelf 15 and the cabinet 11 is a storage space. The cabinet door 12 is movably arranged on the cabinet 11. The image acquisition device 13 is arranged in the cabinet 11 and is configured to acquire an image of a target space. The target space is a storage space that a user needs to monitor, which can be the internal space of one or more drawers 14, the storage space of the cabinet door 12, or the internal space of the entire refrigeration appliance 10. The user interacts with the refrigeration appliance 10 through the interactive terminal 20.

[0048] Optionally, the image acquisition device 13 comprises a camera or an imaging sensor. The camera comprises one or more of an RGB (Red-Green-Blue) camera, a spectral camera, an infrared camera, and a TOF (Time of Flight) camera.

[0049] Optionally, the target space is the storage space of the drawer 14, and the image acquisition device 13 is arranged at a position capable of acquiring an image of the storage space of the drawer 14, such as the inner top of the cabinet 11, the inner side of the cabinet door 12, the inner side of the cabinet 11, and the top of the drawer 14.

[0050] Optionally, the interactive terminal 20 comprises a display screen 21 arranged on the outer side of the cabinet door 12 of the refrigeration appliance 10 and / or a display screen arranged on the front end panel of the drawer 14. When the display screen is arranged on the outer side of the cabinet door 12, the user can interact with the display screen and view the content displayed on the display screen without opening the cabinet door 12, which is convenient and fast. When the display screen is arranged on the front end panel of the drawer 14, the storage space of the drawer 14 is the target space, and the display screen can automatically adjust the angle of inclination according to the height of the installation position to facilitate the user to view. In this way, the position of the display screen corresponds to the target space, and the user can view the corresponding target space at the interactive terminal 20, which is more targeted.

[0051] The processor is configured to receive an image of a visible region of the target space collected by the image collection device 13 and an access action of the user accessing the article in the target space, and obtain article information stored in the target space. Then, according to the image of the visible region of the target space and the article information stored in the target space, the visibility of the article in the target space is determined, that is, whether the article stored in the target space is blocked. If the visibility indicates that the article is blocked, a virtual image of the blocked article is restored. Then, the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the blocked article are sent to the interactive terminal 20, and the interactive terminal 20 displays the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the blocked article stored in the target space. When the interactive terminal displays the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the blocked article, the processor is further configured to receive a query command of the user to the real image and the virtual image sent by the interactive terminal 20 or the voice device, and generate information of the article according to the query command, and then control the interactive terminal 20 to display the information of the article.

[0052] In combination with FIG. 3, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an article display system, which comprises a refrigeration device 10 and a remote interactive device 30. Optionally, the refrigeration device 10 comprises an image collection device 13 configured to collect an image of a target space. The remote interactive device 30 comprises an interactive terminal 20. A cloud server 40 is in communication connection with the refrigeration device 10 and the interactive terminal 20. Specifically, the image collection device 13 collects an image of a visible region of the target space and an access action of the user accessing the article in the target space, and sends the image of the visible region of the target space and the access action to the cloud server 40. The cloud server 40 analyzes the image of the target space, and according to the image of the visible region of the target space and the article information stored in the target space, determines the visibility of the article in the target space, that is, whether the article stored in the target space is blocked. If the visibility indicates that the article is blocked, a virtual image of the blocked article is restored. Then, the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the blocked article are sent to the interactive terminal 20. The interactive terminal 20 displays the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the blocked article.

[0053] When the interactive terminal displays the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the blocked article, the cloud server 40 is further configured to obtain information of the article in response to a query command of the user to the real image and the virtual image, and send the information of the article to the interactive terminal 20. The interactive terminal 20 displays the information of the article. Optionally, the interactive terminal 20 comprises a smart mobile device and / or a smart home appliance. The smart mobile device comprises a smart phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, or any combination thereof.

[0055] Optionally, the refrigeration device 10 is a refrigerator, a freezer or the like.

[0056] In combination with FIG. 4, the present disclosure provides a method for displaying articles, comprising:

[0057] S401, collecting an image of a visible area of a target space and an access action of a user accessing an article in the target space, and obtaining article information stored in the target space.

[0058] S402, determining a visibility condition of the article in the target space according to the image of the visible area of the target space and the article information stored in the target space.

[0059] S403, restoring the occluded article to a virtual image in a case where the visibility condition represents that the article is occluded.

[0060] S404, displaying a real image of a visible article and a virtual image of an occluded article stored in the target space on an interaction terminal.

[0061] The image of the visible area of the target space and the access action of the user accessing the article in the target space are collected by the image collection device arranged in the refrigeration device, and the article stored in the target space is obtained. The processor / cloud server determines the visibility condition of the article in the target space according to the image of the visible area of the target space and the article information stored in the target space. If the visibility condition represents that the article stored in the target space is occluded, the occluded article is restored to a virtual image. Then, the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the occluded article are sent to the interaction terminal. The interaction terminal displays the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the occluded article stored in the target space. The virtual image of the occluded article is a non-real, virtual image that can reflect the complete appearance of the occluded article, and the name of the article corresponding to the virtual image of the occluded article is consistent with the name of the article stored in the target space.

[0062] The method for displaying the articles provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure first collects the image of the visible region of the target space and the access action of the user accessing the articles in the target space, obtains the article information stored in the target space, and then determines the visibility of the articles in the target space based on the image of the visible region and the article information stored in the target space. If the visibility indicates that the articles are blocked, the virtual image of the blocked articles is restored. Then, the real image of the visible articles and the virtual image of the blocked articles stored in the target space are displayed on the interactive terminal. In this way, it can be determined whether the articles in the target space are blocked, and the blocked articles are restored to virtual images when the articles are blocked. When the interactive terminal displays the picture to the user, the real image of the visible articles and the virtual image of the blocked articles stored in the target space are displayed. In this way, the user can be shown the images of all the articles stored in the target space, and the completeness of the display picture is improved. Moreover, it is convenient for the user to understand the storage condition of the articles in the target space, and the user experience is improved.

[0063] Optionally, the information of the articles is displayed on the interactive terminal while the real image of the visible articles and the virtual image of the blocked articles stored in the target space are displayed. Optionally, the information of the articles includes the name, the position, and the related information. The related information includes the quantity, the real image, the freshness, the storage date, the shelf life, the packaging form, and the recipe.

[0064] Optionally, the real image and the virtual image displayed on the interactive terminal are two-dimensional (2D) images or three-dimensional (3D) images.

[0065] Optionally, in S402, the visibility of the articles in the target space is determined based on the image of the visible region of the target space and the article information stored in the target space, including:

[0066] The visible articles in the target space are determined based on the image of the visible region.

[0067] In the case that the visible articles include the stored complete articles, it is determined that all the articles in the target space are visible.

[0068] In the case that the visible articles include a part of the stored articles or do not include the stored articles, it is determined that the stored articles are blocked in the target space.

[0069] The processor / cloud server analyzes the image of the visible region to determine the visible items in the target space shown in the image of the visible region. If the visible items include all the complete stored items, it is determined that all the items in the target space are visible, i.e., no items in the target space are blocked. If the visible items include a part of the stored items, it indicates that a part of the items is blocked. Or, if the visible items do not include the stored items, it indicates that the items are completely blocked. In both cases, it can be determined that the stored items in the target space are blocked. In this way, by determining the visible items in the target space through the image of the visible region and comparing the visible items with the stored items, it can be determined whether the items in the target space are blocked.

[0070] In combination with FIG. 5, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for item display, which includes:

[0071] S401, collecting an image of a visible region of a target space and an access action of a user accessing items to the target space, and obtaining item information stored in the target space.

[0072] S402, determining a visible condition of the items in the target space according to the image of the visible region of the target space and the item information stored in the target space.

[0073] S413, if the items are completely blocked, obtaining a complete virtual image of the items.

[0074] S423, if the items are partially blocked, obtaining a virtual image of the blocked part, and splicing a real image of the unblocked part and the virtual image of the blocked part into a complete image of the items.

[0075] S404, displaying a real image of the visible items stored in the target space and a virtual image of the blocked items on an interactive terminal.

[0076] The blocking of the items includes complete blocking and partial blocking. If all the items are completely blocked, a complete virtual image of the blocked items is obtained according to the type of the blocked items. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, after the drawer is pulled open, the celery stored in the drawer is completely blocked, and the tomatoes, kiwis, lettuce and grapes are visible. The display screen of the interactive terminal is shown in FIG. 7, which displays the real images of the originally visible tomatoes, kiwis, lettuce and grapes, and the complete virtual image of the blocked celery. In this way, even if the items are completely blocked, the user can also understand the complete information of the blocked items through the complete virtual image of the restored items.

[0077] If the object is partially blocked, a virtual image of the blocked part is obtained according to the type of the blocked object. Then the real image of the unblocked part and the virtual image of the blocked part are spliced into a complete object image. In this way, only the image of the blocked part is obtained, which can reduce the amount of calculation of the processor / cloud server, so that the processor / cloud server can quickly feedback, thereby improving the user experience.

[0078] Optionally, S404 displays the real image of the visible object and the virtual image of the blocked object stored in the target space on the interactive terminal, comprising:

[0079] The real image and the virtual image are arranged according to a preset rule, and the preset rule comprises:

[0080] The real image and the virtual image correspond to the actual position of the object, and the size of the virtual image is positively correlated with the real size of the object; or,

[0081] The real image and the virtual image are uniformly distributed.

[0082] The real image and the virtual image of the object are displayed on the interactive terminal according to the preset rule, so as to facilitate the user to view.

[0083] The real image and the virtual image of the object are shown in FIG. 7. The preset rule comprises: the real image and the virtual image correspond to the actual position of the object, and the size of the virtual image is positively correlated with the real size of the object. Optionally, the size of the virtual image of the object is in proportion to the real size of the object. In this way, the virtual image of the object is used to reproduce the position of the object in the target space and the relative size of the object, so as to facilitate the user to understand the storage condition of the object in the target space. Alternatively, the preset rule comprises: the real image and the virtual image are uniformly distributed. In this way, each real image and virtual image is regularly and uniformly distributed according to the display screen of the interactive terminal, which is more beautiful and convenient for the user to view.

[0084] Optionally, if the blocking object of the blocked object is a part of the refrigeration equipment, when the virtual image of the blocked object is displayed on the interactive terminal, the virtual image of the blocked object is displayed floating on the corresponding blocking object. If the blocking object of the blocked object is other objects stored in the target space, when the virtual image of the blocked object is displayed on the interactive terminal, the virtual image of the blocked object is displayed in a preset blank position. In this way, the blocked object and the blocking object are displayed separately, so that the user can clearly see the restored virtual image of the blocked object.

[0085] Optionally, referring to FIG. 8, a virtual storage space of the target space is displayed on the interactive terminal, and the real image of the corresponding visible object and the virtual image of the blocked object are displayed in each area of the virtual storage space.

[0086] Optionally, the size of the display screen of the interaction terminal corresponds to the size of the target space, and the display positions of the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the hidden article on the display screen correspond to the actual storage positions of the visible article and the hidden article in the target space. Alternatively, the information of the article corresponding to the position of each article is displayed on the display screen, and the information of the article includes the type, position, time, and the like.

[0087] In combination with FIG. 9, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for article display, which comprises the following steps:

[0088] S401, collecting the image of the visible region of the target space and the access action of the user to the target space to obtain the article information stored in the target space.

[0089] S402, determining the visibility of the article in the target space according to the image of the visible region of the target space and the article information stored in the target space.

[0090] S403, restoring the hidden article to a virtual image in the case that the visibility indicates that the article is hidden.

[0091] S404, displaying the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the hidden article stored in the target space on the interaction terminal.

[0092] S405, displaying the information of the article on the interaction terminal in response to the query of the user to the real image and the virtual image.

[0093] When the interaction terminal displays the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the hidden article, the processor / cloud server displays the information of the article on the interaction terminal in response to the query command of the user to the real image and the virtual image. Optionally, the user forms the query command by touching the interaction terminal, or forms the query command by sending a voice to the voice terminal. The query command includes a query object, and the query object includes the article corresponding to one or more of the real image and the virtual image displayed on the interaction terminal, which is selected by the user. The processor / cloud server sends the information of the article to the interaction terminal to enable the interaction terminal to show the information of the article to the user. In this way, the user interacts with the real image and the virtual image to query the article corresponding to one or more of the real image and the virtual image. The real image and the virtual image can show the information of all the articles stored in the target space, and thus the experience of the user interacting with the real image and the virtual image can be improved.

[0094] Optionally, the information of the article displayed on the interaction terminal in response to the query command of the user to the real image and the virtual image comprises:

[0095] According to the query command of the user, the target item is determined; the target item is the item corresponding to one or more of the displayed real image and virtual image.

[0096] The information of the target item is displayed on the interactive terminal.

[0097] The processor / cloud server analyzes the query command of the user, and then determines the target item queried by the user. The target item is the item corresponding to one or more of the real image and virtual image of the item displayed on the interactive terminal. Then, the information of the target item is displayed on the interactive terminal. As known from the foregoing, the information of the item includes the name, location and related information, and the related information includes one or more information. Therefore, on the interactive terminal, the name and location of the target item, one or more information of the related information, and the real image of the target item can be displayed.

[0111] S403, restoring the occluded item to a virtual image in a case where the visibility condition represents that the item is occluded.

[0112] S404, displaying a real image of a visible item and a virtual image of an occluded item stored in the target space on an interactive terminal.

[0113] S406, after S401 is performed, sending prompt information according to a change in the item information.

[0114] As described above, the item information includes a name, a location, and related information. After the processor / cloud server obtains the item information, the processor / cloud server sends prompt information to the user according to a change in the item information to remind the user to pay attention to the change in the item. Optionally, the prompt information includes voice prompt information issued by a voice device, text and / or icon prompt information displayed on a display screen, etc. Optionally, the prompt mode of the voice prompt information includes voice broadcast, sound effects, etc. Optionally, the prompt mode of the icon prompt information includes displaying a preset mark, a differentiated color, etc.

[0115] Optionally, S406, sending prompt information according to a change in the item information, includes:

[0116] in a case where the location of the item changes, issuing first prompt information; and / or,

[0117] in a case where the target space has items that are not suitable for being stored together, issuing second prompt information; and / or,

[0118] In the case that the category of the article is not suitable for storage in the target space, a third prompt information is sent; and / or,

[0119] In the case that the freshness of the article changes, a fourth prompt information is sent; and / or,

[0120] In the case that the packaging of the article does not meet the packaging requirements of the target space, a fifth prompt information is sent.

[0121] The processor / cloud server determines whether the article position of the target space changes. If the article position changes, for example, the article is moved from one drawer to another drawer, or from one shelf to another shelf, or from a drawer to a partition, a first prompt information is sent to prompt the user of the change of the position of the corresponding article, so as to avoid the user's inability to find the article.

[0122] The processor / cloud server also determines whether various categories of articles are suitable for simultaneous storage in the target space, and if not, a second prompt information is sent. Optionally, when the articles can ripen each other, affect each other's shelf life, easily mix flavors, and / or mix raw and cooked, the processor / cloud server determines the condition that the corresponding articles are not suitable for simultaneous storage in the target space. Optionally, the second prompt information includes marking the real image or virtual image of the corresponding article. Optionally, the form of marking is to enclose the corresponding real image or virtual image with a line of the same color. Optionally, the form of marking is to generate a virtual prompt label on one side of the corresponding real image or virtual image, and the virtual prompt label displays a text reminder of other articles that are not suitable for co-storage with the corresponding article. Optionally, the virtual prompt label is in a preset color, for example, yellow, to give the user a clear prompt.

[0123] The processor / cloud server also determines whether various categories of articles in the target space are suitable for storage in the target space. If not, a third prompt information is sent. For example, referring to FIG. 16, when bananas (not suitable for cold storage) are stored in the target space, the processor / cloud server determines the condition that the bananas are not suitable for storage in the target space, and then sends a third prompt information. Optionally, the third prompt information includes marking the real image or virtual image of the corresponding article. Optionally, the form of marking is to enclose the corresponding real image and / or virtual image with a line of a preset color. Optionally, the form of marking is to generate a virtual prompt label on one side of the corresponding real image and / or virtual image, and the virtual prompt label displays a text reminder of the correct storage method and the fact that the corresponding article is not suitable for storage in the target space. Optionally, the virtual prompt label is in a preset color, for example, yellow, to give the user a clear prompt.

[0124] In this way, when the user views the real image and / or the virtual image of the item, the user can intuitively know whether the item is suitable to be stored in the target space at the same time and / or whether the item is suitable to be stored in the target space through the mark, thereby assisting the user to manage the item more intelligently.

[0125] The processor / cloud server further determines a change in freshness of the item and issues a fourth prompt information according to the change in freshness of the item. Optionally, the fourth prompt information includes marking the real image or the virtual image of the corresponding item. Optionally, referring to FIG. 17, different freshness corresponds to different colors of the mark. Optionally, the form of the mark is to enclose the item. For example, the real image or the virtual image of the item is enclosed by a red line, indicating that the corresponding item has expired. For another example, the real image or the virtual image of the item is enclosed by a yellow line, indicating that the corresponding item is about to expire. In this way, when the user views the real image and / or the virtual image of the item, the user can intuitively know the change in freshness of the item through the mark.

[0126] Optionally, when the form of the mark is to enclose the real image or the virtual image, a line of different line type is used to enclose the real image or the virtual image, so as to distinguish the enclose mark representing the freshness of the item, the item being unsuitable to be stored in the same target space, or the item being unsuitable to be stored in the target storage space. For example, when the enclose mark represents the freshness of the item, the enclose line is a curve. When the enclose mark represents that the item is unsuitable to be stored in the same target space, the enclose line is a wavy line. When the enclose mark represents that the item is unsuitable to be stored in the target space, the enclose line is a dotted line. In this way, the user can distinguish.

[0127] The processor / cloud server further determines whether the packaging of the item meets the packaging requirement of the target space. If not, a fifth prompt information is issued. Optionally, the fifth prompt information includes marking the real image or the virtual image of the corresponding item. For example, referring to FIG. 18, when it is identified that the fruit is unsuitable to be stored in a bag, the real image and / or the virtual image of the fruit is marked. Optionally, the form of the mark is to generate a virtual prompt label on one side of the corresponding real image or virtual image, and the virtual prompt label displays a text prompt of the item being unsuitable to be stored in a bag and a correct storage method. Optionally, the virtual prompt label is in a preset color, for example, in yellow, to give a clear prompt to the user.

[0128] In combination with FIG. 19, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for displaying items, including:

[0129] S401, acquiring an image of a visible area of a target space and an access action of a user accessing an item to the target space, and obtaining item information stored in the target space.

[0130] S402, determining a visible condition of the article in the target space according to the image of the visible region of the target space and the information of the article stored in the target space.

[0131] S403, in the case that the visible condition indicates that the article is blocked, restoring the blocked article as a virtual image.

[0132] S404, displaying the real image of the visible article and the virtual image of the blocked article stored in the target space on the interactive terminal.

[0133] S406, after S401 is performed, sending a prompt information according to the change of the information of the article.

[0134] S407, after S401 is performed, determining a target environment parameter of the target space according to the information of the article.

[0135] S408, controlling the target space to operate according to the target environment parameter, and displaying the target environment parameter on the interactive terminal and / or informing the user of the target environment parameter through voice.

[0136] After the information of the article is obtained, the target environment parameter of the target space is determined according to the information of the article. In this way, the environment parameter suitable for storing the article can be determined according to the name (category) and freshness of the article. Then the target space is controlled to operate according to the target environment parameter, so that the environment parameter of the target space reaches the environment parameter suitable for storing the article. At the same time, the target environment parameter is displayed on the interactive terminal, and / or the user is informed of the target environment parameter through voice, so as to facilitate the user to understand the adjustment of the environment parameter of the target space.

[0137] Optionally, the environment parameter of the target space includes one or more of temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration, sterilization parameter, etc.

[0138] Optionally, when the target space stores multiple articles, the processor / cloud server sets a priority according to the quantity, price, freshness, etc. of the articles to determine the target environment parameter. For example, the category and freshness of the article with the largest quantity of the same category are preferred to determine the target environment parameter of the target space. For another example, the category and freshness of the article with the highest price are preferred to determine the target environment parameter of the target space. The specific priority can be set by the user.
