The present invention relates to a food information display device in a refrigerator, comprising: a scan reader for scanning a two-dimensional code containing food information to read the food information, a display unit for displaying food information and a storage location, and a food read in the scan reader It includes a control unit for displaying the information and the storage location through the display unit, by displaying the food information stored in the refrigerator outside the refrigerator, so that the user can easily check the food information without opening the refrigerator door to ensure proper food management It can increase.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food information display device in a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a food information display device in a refrigerator displaying food information stored in the refrigerator by scanning and reading a two-dimensional code.
The refrigerator is a device for storing food at low temperature so as not to cool or decay food, and optimally stores the stored food using cold air generated through heat exchange with a refrigerant circulating in a refrigeration cycle.
On the other hand, in accordance with the change in diet and the high-end of the product has been introduced a refrigerator with a variety of structures and convenience devices in consideration of the user's convenience.
For example, a display device for displaying refrigerator operation information such as a temperature, an operation mode, and a time of a storage compartment is provided in the refrigerator.
In addition, such a display device may be mounted on the rear surface of the exterior member so that the exterior of the refrigerator may be more luxuriously viewed, and may be implemented as a hidden display method of displaying refrigerator operation information through the exterior member only when a user's operation signal is received.
The technical structure described above is a background technique for assisting the understanding of the present invention, and does not mean the prior art widely known in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
In the related art, a user must open a refrigerator door to find information such as an expiration date or a manufacturing date of a food stored in the refrigerator, and find the corresponding food directly.
However, since the user has to find the food one by one, the verification process is cumbersome, and there is a problem that it is difficult to systematically manage food information.
In other words, the user often does not know the type and shelf life of the food stored in the refrigerator, it is difficult to properly manage the food, such as leaving the food expired as it is.
In addition, since the user frequently opens and closes the refrigerator door to check the food stored in the refrigerator, there is a problem in that power consumption increases and refrigeration efficiency decreases.
An object of the present invention is to provide a food information display device in a refrigerator, which displays food information stored in the refrigerator by using a scanner capable of scanning and reading a two-dimensional code.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a food information display device in a refrigerator includes: a scan reader configured to scan food information containing a two-dimensional code to read food information; A display unit displaying food information and a storage location; And a controller for displaying the food information and the storage location read by the scan reader through the display.
The present invention is characterized in that it further comprises a key input unit for selecting a storage location.
Two-dimensional code of the present invention is characterized in that the QR code.
Food information of the present invention is characterized in that it includes at least one or more information of the food name, food classification, expiration date, manufacturing date.
Food information of the present invention is characterized by being displayed separately for each storage room.
The present invention can be easily obtained by the user by scanning the two-dimensional code attached to the outer surface of the food packaging with a scan reader provided in the refrigerator.
In addition, the present invention by displaying the food information of the food stored in the refrigerator on the outside of the refrigerator, so that the user can easily check the food information without opening the refrigerator door to increase the appropriateness of food management.
In addition, according to the present invention, since the refrigerator door is opened and closed only when the user takes out food, power consumption can be improved and refrigeration efficiency can be improved.

2 is a diagram illustrating an installation example of a scan reading unit of a food information display device in a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention.
3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display unit of a food information display device in a refrigerator according to one embodiment of the present invention.
4 is a view showing another example of a display unit of a food information display device in a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, a food information display device in a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this process, the thicknesses of the lines and the sizes of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation. In addition, terms to be described later are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may vary according to the intention or convention of a user or an operator. Therefore, the definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

However, the
The food information read by the
The food name means the name of the food and the food classification means the name of the food. For example, 'apple' corresponds to a food name, and 'fruit' corresponds to a food category. In addition, the expiration date refers to the date when the period for maintaining the freshness of the food expires, the manufacturing date means the date the food is manufactured by the manufacturer.
On the other hand, the two-dimensional code read through the
QR code is a symbol of two-dimensional structure developed by Denso Wave Co., Ltd. of Japan, but it has the advantage of being able to store a large amount of data compared to the existing bar code but having a short code size and small form and excellent recognition rate.
On the other hand, unlike the present embodiment, other two-dimensional codes such as PDF417, DataMatric, and Maxicode may be used.
In addition, although it is not a two-dimensional code, it may be possible to include food information in an RFID tag and to read food information through an RFID reader.
