Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/229949
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a refrigerator system with which it is possible to: suppress a decrease in detection accuracy of a storage state change; and to reduce a communication load on the occasion of transmitting images to the outside of the refrigerator, the image being of the inside of a storage chamber and captured from a plurality of viewpoints. To achieve the foregoing, this refrigerator system comprises: a camera (2) for capturing images of the inside of a storage chamber; a camera moving device (20) for moving the camera at least in the vertical direction; a communication device (31) for transmitting the images captured by the camera to the outside of the refrigerator body; and a change detection device (33) for detecting a change in a food storage state for each shelf on the basis of the images captured by the camera. The camera captures the images from a first viewpoint and a second viewpoint for each shelf. The change detection device detects the change in the food storage state for each shelf on the basis of the image captured from the first viewpoint. The communication device transmits both images captured from the first viewpoint and the second viewpoint to the outside of the refrigerator body for any shelf for which a change in the food storage state is detected.
