Artificial refrigerator and method for controlling temperature of the same

A refrigerator associated with an AI agent, the refrigerator comprising:

• a storage room for refrigeration or freezing storage;
• a receiver configured to receive, from the AI agent, capacity information on a new article for storage in refrigerator requiring the refrigeration or freezing storage in a purchase history of an article, movement path information on the new article for storage in refrigerator, and information on an expected arrival time at which the new article for storage in refrigerator is to be received in the storage room;
• and
• a refrigerator controller configured to determine an expected storage location of the new article for storage in refrigerator in the storage room based on the capacity information on the new article for storage in refrigerator, estimate a temperature change of the new article for storage in refrigerator based on the capacity information on the new article for storage in refrigerator, the movement path information, and the expected arrival time information, determine a target waiting temperature based on the estimated temperature change of the new article for storage in refrigerator, and thereafter, intensively precool the expected storage location of the new article for storage in refrigerator according to the target waiting temperature.

A control method of an AI agent, the control method comprising:

• receiving a purchase history of an article and determining whether or not a new article for storage in refrigerator requiring refrigeration or freezing storage exists in the purchase history;
• collecting capacity information on the new article for storage in refrigerator and movement path information on the new article for storage in refrigerator when the new article for storage exists in the purchase history;
• and
• determining an expected arrival time at which the new article for storage in refrigerator is to be received in the refrigerator based on the movement path information, and transmitting the movement path information, and the capacity information and the expected arrival time information on the new article for storage in refrigerator to the refrigerator.

A control method of a refrigerator which has a storage room for refrigeration or freezing storage and is associated with an AI agent, the control method of a refrigerator comprising:

• receiving, from the AI agent, capacity information on a new article for storage in refrigerator requiring the refrigeration or freezing storage in a purchase history of an article, movement path information on the new article for storage in refrigerator, and information on an expected arrival time at which the new article for storage in refrigerator is to be received in the storage room;
• determining an expected storage location of the new article for storage in refrigerator in the storage room based on the capacity information on the new article for storage in refrigerator;
• estimating a temperature change of the new article for storage in refrigerator based on the capacity information, the movement path information, and the expected arrival time information on the new article for storage in refrigerator, and determining a target waiting temperature based on the estimated temperature change of the new article for storage in refrigerator;
• and
• intensively precooling the expected storage location of the new article for storage in refrigerator according to the target waiting temperature.
