A busy dad went home from work in the hot summer months. Before he drove home, turn on the home manager on the smartphone and set the air conditioner to start at 4:30 pm to make sure the family is comfortable at home after five o'clock. Then, the father reviewed the activity report that occurred at home during the day, and he saw that the sweeping robot had cleaned the whole room. Moreover, the sweeping robot detects dust and cat's hair on the floor before cleaning, and finds that no one is at home through a safety and temperature control system, and that cleaning does not interfere with the family. Finally, my father saw the notice issued by the smart refrigerator, told his home milk is about to finish, lettuce has been stored for four days. At the same time, the Smart Fridge application creates a shopping list and looks at the convenience of purchasing a store on his way home.
1 hour later, father and children come home, the children play alone in the pool, if the abnormal surveillance cameras and swimming pool sensors will first issue a warning. In the kitchen, he asks if the smart fridge, salad dressing is adequate. He began to prepare dinner with the help of the robot. Robots help to complete the vegetable cleaning and slicing to quickly shorten the preparation time. When the man's wife dragged his tired body home, the robots suggested that they drink a glass of wine. According to salad ingredients, intelligent wine freezer for its selection of a bottle of brandy.
