Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance includes a thermally insulated housing which limits a coolable interior chamber provided for storing food and being accessible through an opening. A frame-shaped end face frames the opening of the housing. A door leaf for opening and closing the opening of the housing is mounted in such a way that it can pivot relative to an axis by using at least one hinge. A cover is provided for covering the hinge. A triggering device is disposed within the cover and is configured to actuate at least one device of the domestic refrigeration appliance depending on an opening angle of the door leaf. A method for operating a domestic refrigeration appliance is also provided.

Abstract: A refrigerating device includes a camera module for capturing a first digital image with markings in the interior of the refrigerating device. The refrigerating device includes a processing device which is configured to convert the first digital image into a second digital image on the basis of the captured markings.

Abstract: A method includes taking a picture of the interior of a household appliance by using a camera, identifying at least one object in the picture, and editing the object. A household appliance having a processing unit for performing the method and a system having a household appliance and at least one further component are also provided.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a controller operating on an energy supply network having a data network for exchanging data via the energy supply network, wherein the network may include smart metering. The controller has a first control component embodies as a computer, a second control component for settings data, a third control component for operating data, and a fourth control component connected with the first control component and including a graph algorithm. The first control component determines data for controlling actuators from the settings data and the operating data. Through cooperation of the first control component, the fourth control component and the graph algorithm, the data from the data network for the household appliance are taken into account so as to allow operation of the household appliance always to continue. A corresponding method for operating such household appliance is also described.

Abstract: A method and device for controlling a domestic appliance connected to an electric grid so as to allow smart metering, wherein electric power consumed according to different consumption tariffs is measured and the domestic appliance receives information about the availability of a currently applicable consumption tariff or a switch-off condition for preventing peak loads in the grid. The domestic appliance is operated as follows: a) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the appliance is put into operation as intended, and the history of the cleaning process is continuously recorded; b) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is not available or the switch-off condition is met, the appliance is not put into operation or a previously started operation is interrupted; and c) when information about an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the domestic appliance resumes operation, and a component of a detergent is added based on the recorded history.

Abstract: A refrigerating device includes a door rack and a camera housing support for positioning a camera module. The camera housing support is disposed adjacent the door rack. An outer surface of the camera housing support is at least partly flush with an outer surface of the door rack.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile communications terminal for use in a plurality of wireless local networks. Said terminal comprises a log on memory, in which an access address that is designed to be used for a new log on process is stored. According to the invention, information concerning the access addresses that were received by the mobile communications terminal in previous log on operations and the network among the plurality of wireless local networks that was used, is stored in an allocation memory. The terminal is configured in such a way that when a new access request is received for a sought network among the plurality of wireless local networks, it searches for a previous access address that was allocated for the sought network and is also configured in such a way that when said previous access address for the sought network has been found, it writes the address to the log on memory and permits the log on operation.
