HOME APPLIANCE HAVING INTERIOR SPACE FOR ACCOMMODATING TRAY AT VARIOUS HEIGHTS AND METHOD OF OBTAINING IMAGE BY HOME APPLIANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17987198 titled 'HOME APPLIANCE HAVING INTERIOR SPACE FOR ACCOMMODATING TRAY AT VARIOUS HEIGHTS AND METHOD OF OBTAINING IMAGE BY HOME APPLIANCE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a home appliance that includes a camera and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain an image of a tray inserted into the appliance, identify the height at which the tray is inserted, determine a setting value for capturing an image of the interior space based on the tray height, and obtain a second image of the contents on the tray using the determined setting value.
- The home appliance has a camera and a processor.
- The camera captures an image of a tray inserted into the appliance.
- The processor analyzes the image to determine the height at which the tray is inserted.
- Based on the tray height, the processor determines a setting value for capturing an image of the interior space.
- Using the determined setting value, the processor obtains a second image of the contents placed on the tray.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various home appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, or storage cabinets to capture images of the contents inside.
- It can be used in smart home systems to monitor and track the inventory of items in different compartments or shelves.
- The technology can be integrated into cooking appliances to provide visual feedback on the cooking process and adjust settings accordingly.
Problems Solved
- The technology eliminates the need for manual adjustment of camera settings to capture images of different tray heights.
- It solves the problem of capturing clear and accurate images of the contents placed on a tray inside a home appliance.
- The system ensures that the captured images are optimized for the specific tray height, improving the overall user experience.
Benefits
- Users can easily monitor and track the contents of their home appliances without physically opening them.
- The technology provides convenience by automatically adjusting camera settings based on the tray height, saving time and effort.
- It enhances the accuracy and reliability of captured images, allowing for better inventory management and monitoring.
Original Abstract Submitted
A home appliance includes: a camera arranged in the interior space; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: obtain, through the camera, a first image including a tray that is inserted into the interior space; identify, by using the first image, a height at which the tray is inserted in the interior space; determine, according to the height at which the tray is inserted, a setting value related to capturing of an image of the interior space; and obtain, based on the determined setting value, a second image including contents placed on the tray.
