A refrigerator including a main body including a storage room, a door coupled to the main body and rotatable in front of a side of the storage room, and including a display on a front surface of the door, a camera disposed to capture the storage room, and a processor configured to acquire an augmented-reality object corresponding to a food included in an image captured by the camera using a trained artificial intelligence model, to control the display to display the acquired augmented-reality object and the captured image as being overlapped with each other, and based on a user input being acquired while the acquired augmented-reality object is displayed, to provide a response to the user input based on the acquired augmented-reality object. The refrigerator can utilize an artificial intelligence model trained according to at least one of machine learning, neural network or deep learning algorithm.

A home appliance and a control method therefor are provided. The home appliance includes a display, a sensor to detect whether a door is opened or closed, and at least one processor configured to control the display to display one or more objects, and based on sensing, by the sensor, at least one of an opening or a closing of the door, provide visual feedback to the one or more objects.

A refrigerator appliance may include a cabinet, a door, a scanner module, and a controller operably coupled to the scanner module. The door may be rotatably hinged to the cabinet to provide selective access to the chilled chamber. The scanner module may be mounted to the cabinet. The controller may be configured to initiate an operation routine. The operation routine may include initiating a scan sequence at the scanner module, identifying a barcode capture for a product barcode of a stored item based on the scan sequence, processing barcode data for the barcode capture according to one or more predetermined user preferences, establishing an item identifier based on the processed barcode data, and directing an update to a user list with the established item identifier.

A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a food storage chamber with a door movably coupled to the cabinet whereby the door is movable between a closed position and an open position. A method of operating the refrigerator appliance may include, or the refrigerator appliance may be operable for, receiving an intentional door open input and disabling a door alarm of the refrigerator appliance in response to the intentional door open input. Such methods or operations may further include automatically re-enabling the door alarm after disabling the door alarm.

An appliance including a control device in operative communication with a user input panel and a sensor provided. The control device is configured to emit, via the sensor, a first plurality of signals defining a first operating mode. The first operating mode includes one or more of a first scan rate or a first scan interval. The control device is configured to switch between the first operating mode and a second operating mode based on one or more of detection of a container, detection of a user, or a user input. The control device is configured to emit, via the sensor, a second plurality of signals defining the second operating mode. The second operating mode includes one or more of a second scan rate or a second scan interval different from the first operating mode.

Provided is a refrigerator. The refrigerator is characterized by enabling at least a part of a refrigerator door to be selectively transparent by a user's operation, such that the user sees through an inside of the refrigerator while the refrigerator door is closed.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet defining a storage space, a door configured to open and close the cabinet, and a detection device provided at a first surface of the door and configured to detect a target in front of the door or ambient brightness. A first portion of the detection device protrudes in a first direction from the door, and a second portion of the detection device is accommodated inside the door.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet; a door rotatably connected to the cabinet by a hinge; and a door opening device for opening the door. The door opening device includes a driving motor and a push member configured to move in the forward/backward direction. The push member includes a first end portion positioned close to the front surface of the cabinet and a second end portion positioned on the opposite side of the first end portion. The cabinet includes a cabinet side wall positioned close to the hinge. The door includes a door side wall positioned close to the hinge. When the door is closed, the horizontal distance between the first end portion and the cabinet side wall or the door side wall is smaller than the horizontal distance between the second end portion and the cabinet side wall or the door side wall.

A refrigerator includes a door frame and a perimetric surface of an insulation door panel of a panel unit that are spaced apart from each other. A component receiving groove is provided between the door frame and the perimetric surface of the insulation door panel, so that an operation module is received in the component receiving groove. When the operation module is received in the component receiving groove, at least of a part of the operation module is arranged to face a front surface of the panel unit through a bezel portion constituting the front surface of the panel unit. Therefore, a space for installing the operation module such as a detection sensor or a touch sensor is provided to be sufficiently wide along an edge of a door.
