DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication system in which each family has a function of storing home information, video, music, and the like, and a family content server connected to the Internet is installed in combination with a refrigerator that complements the function. Network equipment

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the past, some home server installers have installed server machines in their own study rooms, but as the number of dedicated line connections increases, the number of people who install servers in the home tends to increase. There is a situation in which a server machine is installed without having an isolated room such as a study.

[0003]

In FIG. 1, there is a problem that a server machine serving as a noise or heat source impairs a comfortable living environment. In order to solve such a problem, various storage locations are considered. However, since the server machine has a high-voltage electric part and a high-heat part, a safety problem such as a fire has occurred.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention focuses on home-use home appliances and always-on refrigerators, which are combined with server machines that need to be constantly operated. A configuration that complements the mutual functions of refrigerators with a wealth of information inside. We believe that combining these two products, which are noise and heat sources, will contribute to a safe and comfortable life without dispersing the noise and heat sources.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional view of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show a side view and a back view.

In FIG. 1, a family content server 2 connected to an always-on line 3 connected to the Internet through an Internet service provider or a content service provider is incorporated in the refrigerator 1 or installed close to the refrigerator 1. In addition, home information is stored in a server through information terminals such as a remote control camera installed inside and outside the refrigerator and a computer embedded in the refrigerator, and contents from the Internet, a content service provider, and the like are stored.

[0007] The refrigerator 1 blows and cools dry and cool air through the pipe 6 to neutralize the amount of heat generated from the server machine.

[0008] The family content server 2 has a firewall function in a ROM, a card, or the like in preparation for a sudden server machine shutdown, and has a hard disk 4, a DVD, a CD-RW, or the like.
5 is a server machine characterized by a large-capacity storage device function, and has various connection interfaces 7 including wireless communication to various terminal devices such as a computer, a television, a speaker, a keyboard, and a mouse.

The present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Various modifications included in the claims fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0010]

According to the present invention, the noise of the fan of the server machine is reduced by blowing the cool air,
By integrating products with always-on functions, noise generation can be minimized. In addition, by installing a server for managing information so that home information can be learned from the outside in a kitchen where a large amount of information can be obtained, various terminal equipment can be easily installed.
