    Abstract: A refrigerator according to the present invention comprises: a storage chamber for storing articles; a camera for photographing the inner space of the storage chamber; a control part which visually recognizes a first article image captured by the camera so as to acquire article information corresponding to the first article image; a memory for storing the acquired article information so as to generate an article image history; and a display electrically connected to the control part. Further, the control part may: acquire, through the camera, a second article image in which an article is partially hidden by any other article; detect, from the second article image, a partial article image of the article partially hidden by the other article; and identify an article matching the partial article image on the basis of the article image history. Further, the control part may perform control such that the corresponding partial article image is displayed on the display in association with the article information identified from the article image history. The present invention provides a refrigerator to which AI (Artificial Intelligence) is applied.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an electronic device performing an audio zoom based on speaker detection using lip reading and a method for controlling the electronic device. According to an embodiment, the electronic device detects a direction of a sound source while recording a video and determines a speaker's direction via facial recognition and mouth shape recognition in the sound source direction. Microphone beamforming may be performed based on the speaker's direction. Thus, the accuracy of audio zoom may be enhanced.
