Abstract: Disclosed is an artificial intelligent refrigerator including a cold-storage chamber; a temperature information receiver for receiving external temperature information of a location in which a purchased item is located; an arrival time information receiver for receiving expected arrival time information to be taken until the item is stored in the cold-storage chamber; and a temperature controller for setting in advance a target cooling temperature of the cold-storage chamber for the item based on an artificial intelligence (AI) processor in which a neural network model is mounted before the item is stored in the cold-storage chamber. Here, the temperature controller inputs the external temperature information and the expected arrival time information to the neural network model to estimate a temperature change of the item and sets in advance a target cooling temperature of the cold-storage chamber based on an estimated temperature change of the item.

Abstract: The present application relates to a laundry treating apparatus. More specifically, the present application relates to a laundry treating apparatus having a camera and a control method thereof. One embodiment of the present application provides a method including: causing a drum to move laundry inside the drum; generating time-series images of movement of the laundry by capturing an inside of the drum while the laundry moves over time; determining a movement state of the laundry based on the generated time-series images while the drum rotates at a revolutions per minute (RPM); controlling the RPM of the drum based on the movement state of the laundry to increase a laundry spread value; and after the laundry spread value has increased, increasing the RPM of the drum to perform a spinning process.
