A brewing assembly for a refrigerator appliance includes a dispensing assembly for selectively dispensing a flow of water within a chilled chamber of the refrigerator appliance. A pitcher is removably positioned below the dispensing assembly and includes an upper reservoir for receiving, storing, and slowly distributing the flow of water into a brew module positioned below the upper reservoir and comprising a plurality of canisters for receiving brewing contents and the flow of water to create a brewed beverage. A lower reservoir is positioned below the brew module for receiving the brewed beverage from the plurality of canisters.

Example systems have a defrost system that can receive a first RF signal at a first frequency to defrost a load. An air treatment device can receive a second RF signal at a second frequency and perform an air treatment process. An RF signal source has a power output, and a switching arrangement selectively electrically connects the defrost system and the first air treatment device to the power output of the RF signal source. A controller can electrically connect one of the defrost system and the first air treatment device to the power output of the RF signal source. When the defrost system is electrically connected, the RF signal source outputs the first RF signal at the first frequency, and when the first air treatment device is electrically connected, the RF signal source outputs the second RF signal at the second frequency.

Provided is a method of setting a system, the method being performed by a processor and including: (a) when receiving detection, by the sensor, of a first amount of goods equal to or larger than a first predetermined amount, displaying, on a display, a first screen prompting setting of a threshold amount of goods corresponding to a condition of trigger output; (b) when the sensor detects reduction of an amount of goods by at least a second predetermined amount after displaying the first screen, acquiring, as the threshold amount, a second amount of reduced goods; (c) after the threshold amount is acquired, displaying, on the display, a second screen for setting an action of the processing device; and (d) based on information on the action set after displaying the second screen, setting output contents to be output by the processing device upon satisfaction of the condition of trigger output.

Disclosed is a refrigerating device that includes: a refrigeration mechanism; and a cooling chamber. The cooling chamber is operatively coupled to the refrigeration mechanism using any or a combination of a latching mechanism and a screwing mechanism, and is configured to hold a load to be cooled. The refrigeration mechanism can be a thermo-electric assembly (TEA) and the device can include a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller to set and regulate temperature inside the cooling chamber. The cooling chamber can be a vacuum flask, open end of the vacuum flask configured to be thermally sealed with the TEA. The vacuum flask provides thermal insulation between the load and ambient environment. In an exemplary embodiment, the vacuum flask can be thermally sealed with the TEA by configuring the TEA in a collar of thermal insulation, the collar configured to hold the vacuum flask by means of threads configured on the collar and the vacuum flask.

A tray is mounted inside a storage compartment of an entrance refrigerator. A bottom portion of the tray is spaced apart from a bottom portion of the storage compartment, and gaps are provided between the sides of the tray and the sides of the storage compartment. With this configuration, it is possible to minimize a blockage of a cold air flow path by goods stored on the tray in the storage compartment.

A dispense control system for filling a container using a dispensing assembly of a refrigerator appliance and a method for operating the same are provided. The dispense control system includes an emitter for generating a beam of energy and a scanning assembly for selectively directing the beam of energy along a scan path comprising a plurality of scan positions. A receiver detects the beam of energy reflected by the container or the liquid at each of the plurality of scan positions and a controller determines a height of the container or the liquid at each of the plurality of scan positions along the scan path based at least in part on a travel time of the beam of energy between the emitter and the receiver.

Disclosed is a method of storing food in an artificial intelligent refrigerator including obtaining an image of a storage chamber through a camera installed in the storage chamber of the refrigerator; transmitting the obtained image to a server; receiving a recognition result of food newly stored in the storage chamber through AI image processing in the server from the server; and displaying notifying information related to the food in a display unit of the refrigerator based on the received result.

A method for controlling and managing a front door refrigerator using an application installed in a recording medium, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a step in which a user logs into a front door refrigerator control application installed in a recording medium including a mobile device, thereby allowing a main screen including menu display regions to be displayed on a display unit of the mobile device; and a step in which a storage information confirmation menu is selected from among a plurality of execution menus displayed in the menu display regions, wherein, when the storage information confirmation menu is selected, storage information of a product stored in the front door refrigerator is output to the display unit of the mobile device.

The present invention relates to a front door refrigerator for enabling a delivery man to safely deliver delivery goods to an orderer even when a user having ordered an item or fresh food is not at home, and preventing the delivery goods from becoming lost during delivery.

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.
