Ultra Smart Fridge |

| Description |
Smart fridges offer a handful of features to consumers but we want to up the ante and include some additional features that we think will make the experience even better.
The product we envision is a fridge with shelves and drawers partitioned by scales to measure the weight of the food that will be placed in each partition. The partitions can be categorized by the user to help promote a more organized fridge. With the data from the scales, the user can view a live value of the weight of food. If a low amount of a particular food is detected, the fridge will suggest a restock.
Furthermore, since the fridge will detect the quantity of items that are stored within, some recipes can be offered with said items, listing approximate nutritional values if needed. All the information listed previously can be accessed via an interface on the fridge door (Android) or an application on the user’s smartphone (Android).
Finally, to add further utility, a small camera(s) can be used to get a quick peek of the inside if needed be. |
