  1. Article about it!
    http://www.technewsworld.com/story/31239.html

    For example, in a truly smart home, your refrigerator would know what it contained and would be able to communicate that information to you. You might even be able to telephone your refrigerator -- or send it an e-mail -- to find out what food to buy on the way home from work.

    Once home, you could take ingredients out of the refrigerator and set them on a kitchen counter that could read the chips embedded in the food packaging. Your home's computer then would verbally suggest a few recipes to match the ingredients you had chosen. Pick one of the recipes, and your home computer would instantly project it onto the surface of the counter in front of you.

  2. There is an example of what this might look like in this video:

    A nice graphic cataloging the contents of the fridge.

    The fridge could also suggest recipes.

  3. I found a result of a user enquiry. They seemed to be really critical.

    + checking the endurance of the products
    + system makes suggestions
    - recipes
    + information about missing products
    - the activity of shopping goes missing
