Description
본 발명은 통신정보 저장부가 별도로 설치된 냉장고에 관한 것으로서, 특히 통신정보 저장부를 별도로 설치함으로써 인터넷 냉장고 설치시에 네트워크 설정에 대한 여러 가지 변수들을 메모리에 별도 저장하여 통신용 변수들이 쉽게 설정 가능한 통신정보 저장부가 별도로 설치된 냉장고에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which a communication information storage unit is separately installed, and in particular, by installing a communication information storage unit separately, the communication information storage unit can easily set various variables for network setting in the memory when the Internet refrigerator is installed in the memory. Relates to a separately installed refrigerator.
냉장고는 내부에 식품 저장을 위한 공간이 마련된 식품 보관 케이스로서 단열재를 사용하여 외부와 절연시키고 전기, 가스, 얼음 등으로 내부를 저온시킴으로써 식품 따위를 냉각시키거나 부패를 막기 위하여 저온으로 저장시키게 된다.The refrigerator is a food storage case provided with a space for storing food therein, and is insulated from the outside by using an insulating material, and the inside of the refrigerator is cooled by electricity, gas, ice, etc. to cool the food or store it at low temperature to prevent corruption.
일반적으로 가정에서는 식품을 취급하는 냉장고가 주방이나 주방과 가장 근접한 곳에 설치되어 있어 음식물 조리나 이미 조리된 음식을 보관시 냉장고 사용이 편리해진다.In general, at home, a refrigerator that handles food is installed closest to the kitchen or the kitchen, making it convenient to use the refrigerator when cooking food or storing already cooked food.
그런데, 종래 경우에는 음식 조리나 음식 관리를 위한 가사 시간 동안에는 텔레비전 시청이나 인터넷 접속, 전화와 같은 통신수단의 이용이 거의 불가능하다는 문제점이 있고, 통신수단 이용 시에는 주방에서 가장 큰 면적을 차지하고 있는 냉장고의 위치도 텔레비전이나 각종 통신수단 설치된 장소와 전혀 무관하게 배치되어 있어 가사 도중에 하던 일을 멈추고 각종 통신수단이 설치된 장소로 이동해야 하므로 사용자의 불편함이 증대된다는 문제점이 있다.However, in the conventional case, during the cooking time for food cooking or food management, there is a problem that it is almost impossible to use communication means such as watching TV, internet access, and telephone. Also, the location of the TV or various communication means is disposed at all irrespective of the work done during the housekeeping and moving to a place where various communication means are installed.
상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 냉장 및 냉동 기능과 같은 냉장고의 기본적인 기능이외에 외부 통신망을 통해 데이터 통신이 가능하고 텔레비전 시청이나 인터넷 접속, 전화와 같은 통신수단이 설치된 통신가능한 인터넷 냉장고가 있다.In order to solve the above problems, in addition to the basic functions of the refrigerator, such as the refrigerating and freezing functions, there is an internet refrigerator capable of data communication through an external communication network and a communication means such as watching television, accessing the Internet, or installing a telephone.
그러나, 상기 인터넷 냉장고의 통신이 가능한 시스템의 구축을 위해서는 윈도우와 같은 프로그램 환경 상에서 네트워크 환경에 대한 내용을 입력하여 설정해야 하는데 이는 번거롭고 복잡하다는 문제점이 있다.However, in order to build a system that can communicate with the Internet refrigerator, it is necessary to input and set contents of a network environment in a program environment such as Windows, which is cumbersome and complicated.
또한, 냉장고의 설치자들이 이 네트워크 환경 설정에 대한 교육을 받아야 하므로 이에 비용과 시간의 낭비가 따른다는 문제점이 있다.In addition, since the installers of the refrigerator must be educated about the network configuration, there is a problem in that a waste of cost and time is required.
본 발명은 상기한 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 그 목적은 통신정보 저장부를 별도로 설치함으로써 인터넷 냉장고 설치시에 네트워크 설정에 대한 여러 가지 변수들을 메모리에 별도 저장하여 통신용 변수들이 쉽게 설정 가능한 통신정보 저장부가 별도로 설치된 냉장고를 제공하는데 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the purpose of which is to separately set the communication information storage unit by storing a variety of variables for the network settings in the memory at the time of the Internet refrigerator installation separately set the communication parameters easily Possible communication information storage unit is to provide a separately installed refrigerator.

상기 통신정보 저장부(6)는 데이터의 기록 및 삭제가 가능한 플래쉬 메모리(fresh memory)로 구성되어, 설치자가 신호 입력단자(미도시)와 정보입력 단말기(미도시)를 통해 네트워크 설정에 관련된 IP(internet address)나 도메인, 통신용 변수들을 설정하여 저장 가능하다.The communication information storage unit 6 is composed of a flash memory (fresh memory) capable of recording and erasing data, so that the installer can set the IP related to network configuration through a signal input terminal (not shown) and an information input terminal (not shown). (internet address), domain and communication variables can be set and saved.
상기 통신정보 저장부(6)는 모뎀타입이 아닌 LAN(local area network)이나 초고속인터넷 통신과 같은 고속의 통신모듈을 설치한 고속통신망을 사용하는 경우 데이터 저장부(4)와는 별도로 네트워크 설정 정보만을 저장하고 갱신 가능하므로 인터넷 냉장고의 프로그램 환경이 아닌 메모리에 필요한 통신용 수치만을 입력한다.The communication information storage unit 6 uses only a network setting information separately from the data storage unit 4 when using a high-speed communication network in which a high-speed communication module such as a local area network (LAN) or a high-speed Internet communication is installed, rather than a modem type. Because it can be saved and updated, enter only the communication values required in the memory, not the program environment of the Internet refrigerator.
인터넷 냉장고에 전원이 인가되면 상기 통신정보 저장부(6)에 설정 저장한네트워크 설정치는 데이터 송수신 버스(미도시)를 통해 상기 통신 제어부(5)에 셋팅되어 상기 인터넷 냉장고의 통신이 가능하게 된다.When power is supplied to the Internet refrigerator, the network setting values set and stored in the communication information storage unit 6 are set in the communication control unit 5 through a data transmission / reception bus (not shown) to enable communication of the Internet refrigerator.
상기 인터넷 냉장고가 외부 통신망과 연결되어 데이터 통신 중에 발생되는 통신용 변수들도 상기 통신 제어부(5)로부터 상기 통신정보 저장부(6)에 송신되어 상기 네트워크 설정 정보들은 갱신 저장된다.Communication variables generated during data communication by connecting the Internet refrigerator to an external communication network are also transmitted from the communication control unit 5 to the communication information storage unit 6 so that the network setting information is updated and stored.
이와같이, 본 발명에 의한 인터넷 냉장고는 통신정보 저장부를 별도로 설치함으로써 인터넷 냉장고 설치시에 네트워크 설정에 대한 여러 가지 변수들을 메모리에 별도 저장하여 통신용 변수들이 쉽게 설정 가능하다.As described above, the Internet refrigerator according to the present invention separately installs a communication information storage unit so that various variables for network setting are separately stored in a memory when the Internet refrigerator is installed, so that communication variables can be easily set.
상기와 같이 구성되는 본 발명에 의한 통신정보 저장부가 별도로 설치된 냉장고는 통신정보 저장부를 별도로 설치함으로써 인터넷 냉장고 설치시에 네트워크 설정에 대한 여러 가지 변수들을 메모리에 별도 저장하여 통신용 변수들이 쉽게 설정할 수 있는 효과가 있다.The refrigerator in which the communication information storage unit separately installed according to the present invention is configured as described above has an effect that communication variables can be easily set by separately storing various variables for network setting in the memory when installing the Internet refrigerator by installing the communication information storage unit separately.
