    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vending machine which is easily operated even by a user who has a functional disease of recognition. SOLUTION: A user gives his purchase request to a vending machine via a contactless medium 1 which can transmit the attribute of the functional disease of recognition as the personal data. When a heavily visually handicapped person, for example, has a purchase request, the vending machine stores the personal data received by a data transmitting/receiving means 6 in a personal data decision/storage means 8. At the same time, the vending machine decides the attribute and also recognizes and stores the user's operating state obtained via an operation means 9 by an operation data recognition/storage means 7. Then the voice guide data which are adaptive to those operating state and attribute are selected out of a voice data storage means 10 by a voice data selection processing means 11. The selected guide data undergo the A/D conversion via a voice data processing means 12 and are turned into the voice guide signals through the sound volume setting processing, etc. Thus, the voice guidance is outputted from a voice output means 13. The image and character guidance are also carried out in response to the attribute.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature control device capable of controlling a temperature of food without replacing a temperature sensor even if a food to be stored is changed. SOLUTION: There are provided a cooling means 3 for cooling an inside part of a refrigerator; a temperature sensing means 2 for sensing a temperature of air near food stored in the refrigerator; a food specifying means 4 for specifying a food to be stored in the refrigerator; a storage timer 7 for measuring an elapsing time elapsed after storing of the food; and a food temperature estimating means 5 for estimating a temperature of food on the basis of a thermal property of the food stored in the refrigerator. Then, since the cooling means 3 is controlled by the cooling control means 9 in such a way that a food temperature estimating value of the food temperature estimating means 5 may become a predetermined value, a food temperature can be efficiently controlled without replacing the temperature sensor every time the food stored in the refrigerator is changed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food inventory control device which is simple in operation and available relatively at a low cost. SOLUTION: A food image processing means 1 takes in only a food image. When the door of a refrigerator-freezer is opened and closed in a succeeding specified time, a store indication means 15 determines that foods are stored in a compartment of the door and directs the storage. Based on the direction, a timer means 32 starts the elapsed time from the store point of time as an inventory period. An inventory information memory means 21 stores the name of a compartment, a food image and the inventory period as food information. A take-out indication means 18, when the image of the food is taken in a specified time after the opening/closing of the door is detected, selects the take-out food based on the features of the image by a take-out food selection means 24. In this case, it is determined that the food is taken out and the food information is erased from the inventory information memory means 1 by an inventory information erase means 29. The food information is displayed by the food information display means 22.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a freezing refrigerator having a display 4 capable of displaying foods looking small as an easily visible image by moving a variable CCD camera 12 up and down, right and left or fore and back. SOLUTION: The refrigerator comprises a variable CCD camera 12 composed of a CCD camera 1 disposed on a carriage 11 and a camera view point switching means 13 capable of controlling the camera view point up and down, right and left or fore and back according to an external signal. The center is inputted at a regular position B' of the camera 12, it is moved up and down by a cross button to move the carriage 11 in a direction A' or C'.
