Abstract

A domestic system including at least one item of domestic furniture and/or domestic appliance, in particular a domestic refrigerator, having an improved determining routine, in particular for determining a storage characteristic variable, includes a detection unit to detect at least one consumer product disposed and/or to be disposed within the item of domestic furniture and/or domestic appliance and to provide a consumer product characteristic variable correlated to the consumer product. At least one predefined database can store predefined consumer product characteristic variables of consumer products of different types, and a computer unit can compare the consumer product characteristic variable with the predefined consumer product characteristic variables for determining a storage characteristic variable. The computer unit can compare the storage characteristic variable with a setpoint storage characteristic variable and generate at least one instruction message when the storage characteristic variable differs from the setpoint storage characteristic variable.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . A household system, comprising:
 at least one of an item of household furniture or a household appliance or a household refrigeration appliance;   a detection unit for detecting at least one consumer product disposed within or to be disposed within said item of household furniture or household appliance or household refrigeration appliance, said detection unit configured to provide a consumer product characteristic variable correlated to the at least one consumer product;   at least one predefined database for storing predefined consumer product characteristic variables of consumer products of different types; and   a computer unit for comparing the at least one consumer product characteristic variable with the predefined consumer product characteristic variables to determine a storage characteristic variable, said computer unit considering at least one status information of the at least one consumer product when determining the storage characteristic variable.   
     
     
         17 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein the at least one consumer product characteristic variable includes an image characteristic variable of the at least one consumer product. 
     
     
         18 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein the storage characteristic variable is at least correlated to a storage location of the at least one consumer product. 
     
     
         19 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein said detection unit is configured to at least detect an interior of said item of household furniture or household appliance or household refrigeration appliance. 
     
     
         20 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein said detection unit includes at least two detection elements. 
     
     
         21 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein said at least one predefined database is a local database. 
     
     
         22 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein said at least one predefined database is a cloud database. 
     
     
         23 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein said at least one predefined database is a region-specific database. 
     
     
         24 . The household system according to  claim 16 , wherein said computer unit is configured to compare the storage characteristic variable with a setpoint storage characteristic variable and to generate at least one instruction message when the storage characteristic variable differs from the setpoint storage characteristic variable. 
     
     
         25 . The household system according to  claim 24 , wherein said at least one instruction message, in at least one operating state, is a storage recommendation of the at least one consumer product when located outside of said item of household furniture or household appliance or household refrigeration appliance. 
     
     
         26 . The household system according to  claim 25 , wherein said at least one instruction message, in at least one further operating state, is a storage recommendation of the at least one consumer product when located in a defined partial region of said item of household furniture or household appliance or household refrigeration appliance. 
     
     
         27 . The household system according to  claim 24 , which further comprises an output unit for outputting said at least one instruction message, said at least one instruction message being an image of an object correlated to the at least one consumer product. 
     
     
         28 . An item of household furniture or a household appliance for a household system according to  claim 16 . 
     
     
         29 . A method for operating a household system, the method comprising the following steps:
 storing at least predefined consumer product characteristic variables of consumer products of different types in at least one predefined database of a household system;   detecting at least one consumer product disposed within or to be disposed within at least one item of household furniture or household appliance or household refrigeration appliance;   providing a consumer product characteristic variable correlated to the at least one consumer product;   adjusting the consumer product characteristic variable to the predefined consumer product characteristic variables for determining a storage characteristic variable; and   considering at least one status information of the at least one consumer product when determining the storage characteristic variable.
