A mobile cooling box has a box main body and at least one lid for opening the mobile cooling box and providing access to the inside of the mobile cooling box. The mobile cooling box further has at least one handle module located at an outer side surface of the box main body. The handle module comprises a handlebar intended to be grasped by the user, the handle module having a longitudinal axis and two ends, hangers to which the handlebar is attached at its two ends, and brackets at which the hangers are rotatably mounted. The hangers are fixed to the outer side surface of the box main body. The handlebar of the handle module can be swung out and upwards from an unactuated state to an actuated state for carrying the mobile cooling box by the handlebar Each of the brackets comprises a mounting area and a shielding area. The mounting area faces the outer side surface of the box main body to which the bracket is fixed. The shielding area hides the hangers and the handlebar in the unactuated state of the handle module and in a lateral perspective along the longitudinal axis of the handlebar.

A cooler reduces size increase. The cooler includes a main container including a refrigeration compartment, and a battery mount set including a first battery mount to which a first battery is attachable and a second battery mount to which a second battery different from the first battery is attachable. The first battery mount and the second battery mount are positioned relative to each other to cause the second battery to be unattachable to the second battery mount when the first battery is attached to the first battery mount and to cause the first battery to be unattachable to the first battery mount when the second battery is attached to the second battery mount.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a door. The door includes an outer plate that includes a display part having through holes and a touch manipulation part positioned at a lower side of the display part. The display part and the touch manipulation part are integrally formed. A display cover is mounted on a rear surface of the outer plate. An inner case is mounted on the rear surface of the outer plate to surround the display cover and communicates with an opening formed in a peripheral surface of the door. A display assembly can be inserted into the display cover through the opening. A touch sensor assembly is mounted onto the display cover at a position corresponding to the touch manipulation part. Light emitting members of the display assembly can be positioned above the touch sensor assembly when the display assembly has been inserted into the display cover.

A method of operating a refrigerator appliance is provided. The refrigerator appliance includes a controller and a plurality of food storage compartments. The method includes identifying a food item, such as in response to a user input. The method also includes retrieving optimal or preferred storage conditions for the identified food item. The method may include modifying the conditions of a selected food storage compartment and/or providing instructions to modify the conditions of the selected food storage compartment.

A refrigerator provides visual information indicating a map of the refrigerator and technical operations of the corresponding regions. The refrigerator includes a voice recognition function using a proximity sensor. The refrigerator has input/output (I/O) management functions for foods stored therein. The refrigerator communicates with a peripheral device over a network.

The present disclosure relates to an external member for home appliances and a manufacturing method therefor. The external member has through-holes in a metal layer for transmitting light emitted from a light source, such as a light-emitting device mounted rear of the external member, are not exposed to the outside by a film layer attached to a front surface of the metal layer when the light-emitting device is turned off. The external member for home appliances can provides appearance of home appliances with improved luxuriousness and aesthetic sensibility.

In a method for operating a household appliance having a user interface for operation of the household appliance by a plurality of users, a number of predetermined usage actions of a particular user of the plurality of users when operating the household appliance is registered in a user-specific manner, and a user-specific control surface is provided by way of the user interface for the particular user on the basis of the usage actions of the particular user as registered in a user-specific manner.

A touch sensor assembly may include a touch substrate that is attached to a rear of a front panel on which touch points are displayed, a piezo disc in which a first pole and a second pole are stacked, wherein the first pole faces the touch substrate to contact a rear of the touch substrate; a holder that is configured to support a lateral surface and a rear of the piezo disc to fix the piezo disc to the rear of the touch substrate, and a cover that has a front surface which adheres to the rear of the touch substrate and that includes a concave chamber which is overlapped with the holder. A refrigerator door may include the touch sensor assembly.
