Refrigerator

Abstract

Provided is a refrigerator including: at least one temperature sensor; a memory storing controls for a plurality of levels; and a processor selecting a control, from among the controls, based on a temperature measured by the temperature sensor.

1 . A refrigerator comprising:
 at least one temperature sensor;   a memory storing controls each corresponding to one of a plurality of cooling operation levels; and   a processor configured to select a control, from among the controls, based on a temperature measured by the temperature sensor.   
     
     
         2 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the at least one temperature sensor includes a first sensor configured to measure a compartment temperature of the refrigerator, and   the processor is configured to select, from among the controls, a control for a cooling operation level higher than a previously selected cooling operation level if the compartment temperature rises above an upper limit, and to select, from among the controls, a control for a cooling operation level lower than a previously selected cooling operation level if the compartment temperature falls below a lower limit, the high level and the low level being included in the levels, the cooling operation levels and the previously selected cooling operation levels being included in the plurality of cooling operation levels.   
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the processor is configured to continue a cooling operation until the compartment temperature falls below the upper limit.   
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 , wherein
 when receiving a command to designate a first mode, the processor is configured to cancel the selection of the controls for the upper limit and the lower limit.   
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the at least one temperature sensor includes a second sensor configured to measure a ambient temperature of the refrigerator, and   the processor is configured to select the control based on the ambient temperature of the refrigerator.   
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 , wherein
 when receiving a command to designate a second mode, the processor is configured to select the control based on a past ambient temperature of the refrigerator.
