Zusammenfassung:A refrigerator and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment (22) for storing food therein, a sensor (200) mounted in the cabinet to sense information of an interior of the refrigerator, a first converting unit (250) for converting the information sensed by the sensor (200) into data to be transmitted through a light source (400), a light source (400) for emitting light so as to flicker according to the data of the first converting unit (250), a camera (500) for successively capturing an image of the light source (400), and a second converting unit (550) for converting information related to flickering of the light source (400) captured by the camera (500) into data related to the sensor (200).
