<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator that is configured at a low cost by simplifying image processing by a camera and can save energy. <P>SOLUTION: The refrigerator includes: a refrigeration compartment 15 for cooling and storing foodstuffs; a door 22 for opening/closing the opening of the refrigeration compartment 15; a camera 16 disposed in the refrigeration compartment 15 to photograph the inside of the refrigeration compartment 15; a controller for arithmetically processing the image photographed by the camera 16; an in-refrigerator fan 14 for sending cold air from a cooler 13 constituting a refrigeration cycle to the refrigeration compartment 15; and a compressor 11. In the refrigerator, as the result of the image processing by the controller, the revolution speeds of the in-refrigerator fan 14 and the compressor 11 are increased or decreased correspondingly to the stored state of the foodstuffs in the refrigerator. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
