==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.
