It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments of the present application, and that the present application is not limited by the example embodiments described herein.
Summary of the application
Cookware used in kitchens typically comprises cooktops. In different stages of cooking food, it is desirable to intelligently adjust the operating state of the cooker according to factors such as the condition of the food material.
In view of the above problems, the basic idea of the present application is to provide a cookware control method, a cookware control apparatus, an electronic device and a computer readable storage medium, which can identify a parameter set related to a cooking process from a collected image of the cooking process and control the cookware to operate in an ideal operation state based on the parameter set. Therefore, intelligent control of the cooker can be realized.
Having described the general principles of the present application, various non-limiting embodiments of the present application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates a flowchart of a first embodiment of a cookware control method according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, a kitchenware control method according to an embodiment of the present application includes: s110, receiving a current image in the cooking process acquired by an image acquisition unit; s120, identifying the current image to obtain a current parameter set related to the cooking process; s130, determining an ideal operation state of the cooker based on the current parameter set; and S140, controlling the cooker to operate in the ideal operation state.
Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.
First, in step S110, a current image in the cooking process, which is captured by the image capturing unit, is received. During the cooking process of the user, the image acquisition unit can acquire the image in real time to obtain a related image.
Here, the image collecting unit may be a camera for collecting the cooking process image, which may be a separate camera or a camera array. For example, the images captured by the camera may be a continuous image frame sequence (i.e., a video stream) or a discrete image frame sequence (i.e., an image data set sampled at a predetermined sampling time point), etc. For example, the camera may be a monocular camera, a binocular camera, a multi-view camera, etc., and in addition, depending on different recognition accuracy and storage capacity, it may be used to capture a gray scale image, and may also capture a color image with color information. Of course, any other type of camera known in the art and that may appear in the future may be applied to the present application, and the present application has no particular limitation on the manner in which an image is captured as long as gray scale or color information of an input image can be obtained.
The camera may be mounted in any position suitable for taking images during cooking, and is preferably located above the hob. For example, the camera may be mounted in a range hood above the cooktop, or at a cabinet or roof above the cooktop.
Next, in step S120, the current image is identified to obtain a current parameter set related to the cooking process. Based on the photographed image in the cooking process, various parameters related to the cooking process can be obtained through image recognition operation, so that the specific situation of the cooking process can be accurately judged.
Preferably, in the kitchenware control method according to the embodiment of the application, the current parameter set may include one or more of the following parameters: the conditions of food in the cooker, the sealing condition of the cooker, the condition of oil smoke in the air, the condition of water vapor in the air, the intensity of ambient light and the user operation condition in the cooking process.
In particular, the condition of the food within the hob refers to the specific condition of the food during the cooking process, e.g. the degree to which the food is cooked as the cooking process. In addition, the food conditions within the cooktop may also include the specific food material type being cooked, for example, the food material type may be classified according to the categories of vegetables, meats, grains, etc., or may be classified according to the specific category within each category. The food condition can be determined, for example, from the characteristics of the contour, color, etc. of the food in the captured image. For example, the food type in the image may be recognized by using the contour and the like, and then the current color of the food may be recognized to determine whether the food is cooked, although the above recognition may be performed simultaneously.
The closed condition of the cooking appliance refers to the exposure of the food material during cooking. That is, during cooking, there may be a case where the lid is covered to cook food, for example, to cook vegetables and meat, or to steam pasta. Also, since there is a situation where the liquid boils during cooking of the food in the pot, whether the pot lid is covered or not, there is a risk that the liquid will overflow when the liquid boils. Thus, the closing of the hob may further be used to determine the boiling of the liquid during cooking, thereby controlling the hob to reduce the risk of spilling the liquid.
The condition of oil smoke in the air refers to how much oil smoke is in the air, which is more closely related to the cooking process, e.g. frying. Moreover, as the oil smoke may affect the health condition of the user, the oil smoke amount in the air can be closely monitored, and the cooker is controlled to reduce the oil smoke amount in the air according to the oil smoke amount.
The moisture in air refers to how much water vapour is in the air, which is more closely related to the cooking process, e.g. cooking. In addition, although the steam does not cause inhalation injury to the user, the steam overflows from the boiled food and has a high temperature, which may cause scald injury and the like to the user. Therefore, the water vapor amount in the air can be monitored at any time, and the cooker can be controlled by combining other parameters.
The intensity of the ambient light refers to the ambient brightness during the cooking process, which is not directly related to the cooking of the food, but may interfere with the visual perception of the user, thereby affecting the operation judgment of the user, and indirectly affecting the cooking process of the food.
The user operation condition in the cooking process refers to a direct operation of the user on food or the cooker while cooking, or other indirect actions of the user with respect to the cooker. For example, the direct operation may be a user's operation of frying, etc., and such indirect action may include the user approaching the cooktop, moving away from the cooktop, etc. For example, in the case of weak ambient light, when a user approaches the cooker, the illumination lamp may be turned on accordingly for the convenience of the user to observe, and when the user is far away from the cooker, the illumination lamp may be turned off or turned off to reduce power consumption.
Next, in step S130, an ideal operating state of the hob is determined based on said current set of parameters. That is, based on various specific parameters related to the cooking process as described above, an ideal operating state of the cooktop corresponding thereto is automatically determined.
Preferably, in a cookware control method according to an embodiment of the present application, the operational state of the cookware includes at least one of a magnitude of fire of the cookware and a fire mode of the cookware.
Here, current cookers do not merely increase or decrease the fire when controlling the fire level. For a single burner of a hob, several rings of flames of the burner can be controlled individually. Therefore, the operation state of the cooktop may include, in addition to the mere magnitude of the fire, a fire mode such as using only the inner ring flame, using only the outer ring flame, etc., the magnitude of the fire of the respective rings of flames, and other various possible operation states.
As regards the specific determination of the desired operating state of the hob, for example, a matching selection can be used. That is, in a cookware control method according to an embodiment of the application, determining an ideal operating state of the cookware based on the current set of parameters comprises: matching the current parameter set with a plurality of predetermined parameter sets; and selecting the ideal operating state from a plurality of predetermined operating states according to the matched result.
In particular, it is possible to pre-store a plurality of parameter sets comprising various parameters related to the cooking process and to store ideal operating states of the hob respectively corresponding to these parameter sets. In this way, when determining the ideal operation state of the cooker, the current ideal operation state of the cooker can be determined only by matching the acquired current parameter set with a plurality of predetermined parameter sets. For example, the above storage process may be implemented by various means such as a database, a lookup table, and the like.
In one example, if it is recognized that the user starts cooking and is about to put food into the pan, the user may be considered to need the cooker to generate a big fire for stir-frying, and the ideal operation state of the cooker may be judged as that the fire should be increased. On the contrary, if it is recognized that the user has finished stir-frying and covered the pot cover, it is considered that the user needs the cooker to generate small fire for stew, and at this time, the ideal operation state of the cooker can be judged as that the fire should be reduced.
Further, since the set of parameters related to the cooking process as described above comprises various parameters which, besides being individually related to the operational state of the hob, are also in a certain associative relationship with each other. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the ideal operating state of the cooking appliance by combining the parameters contained in the current parameter set, especially when there are contradictions between some parameters. Thus, by adopting the matching approach as described above, the complexity of the determination of the ideal operating state of the hob may be reduced.
In one example, if it is recognized that a user is putting vegetables into an oil pan, the user is considered to need the cooker to generate big fire for quick frying, the fire power of the cooker should be generally increased, on the other hand, if the user is recognized to be in a naked arm state during frying, the user may be scalded by splashed oil points, the fire power of the cooker should be generally reduced, and finally, the balance is carried out, and if the strategy of frying priority is adopted, the ideal operation state of the cooker can be judged to be still increased.
Finally, in step S140, the cooktop is controlled to operate in the ideal operating state. I.e. the operating parameters of the hob, including the fire level, etc., are controlled such that they comply with the operating parameters of the hob in said ideal operating state.
For example, controlling the cooktop to operate in the ideal operating state may include: receiving a current operating state in which the stove is currently located; judging whether the current operating state is the same as the ideal operating state; and if the two are not the same, switching the cooktop from the current operating state to the ideal operating state.
Therefore, in the kitchen tool control method of the embodiment of the application, the current parameter set related to the cooking process is obtained by identifying the current image in the cooking process acquired by the image acquisition unit, and various parameters related to various aspects of the cooking process can be obtained. And, based on the current parameter set that can accurately reflect the current situation of the cooking process, an ideal operating state of the hob that is most suitable for the current cooking process may be determined. Therefore, accuracy of the cooker control can be improved.
In addition, since the current parameter set includes various parameters related to various aspects of the cooking process, thereby accurately reflecting the current situation in the cooking process, not only can the current operation state of the hob be controlled to be optimal, but also the next operation state of the hob can be predicted. That is, an ideal operating state of the hob may be determined based on the current optimal operating state and the future optimal operating state of the hob. Thus, a prospective of hob control may be achieved.
Second embodiment
Fig. 2 illustrates a flow chart of a second embodiment of a cookware control method according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 2, a kitchenware control method according to an embodiment of the present application includes: s210, receiving a current image in the cooking process acquired by an image acquisition unit; s220, identifying the current image to obtain a current parameter set related to the cooking process; s230, receiving the current working state of the range hood; s240, determining an ideal operation state of the cooker based on the current parameter set; and S250, controlling the cooker to operate in the ideal operation state. Wherein the step S240 of determining an ideal operating state of the hob based on the current set of parameters comprises determining an ideal operating state of the hob jointly based on the current set of parameters and the current operating state of the range hood.
It can be seen that, compared to the first embodiment shown in fig. 1, the second embodiment shown in fig. 2 further includes a step S230 of receiving a current operating state in which the range hood is currently located. And, step S240 of fig. 2 differs from step S130 of fig. 1 in that simultaneously an ideal operating state of the hob is jointly determined based on the current set of parameters and the current operating state of the range hood.
In this way, in the kitchen tool control method according to the second embodiment, the current operating state in which the range hood is currently located is further received in addition to the current parameter set obtained by identifying the current image in the cooking process that is captured. Therefore, when the ideal operation state of the cooker is determined, the feedback of the current working state of the range hood is further considered, so that the state of the cooker can be controlled more accurately.
As in the first embodiment, the size of oil smoke, water vapor, etc. is analyzed through the image information collected by the installed image collecting device, the type of food material, the amount of water, the boiling degree of liquid, and the overflow risk in the cooker are detected, and the operation of a person is identified. Further, in this embodiment, the current working state of the range hood can be obtained, and the firepower or firepower mode of the cooker can be controlled more comprehensively by combining the state feedback of the range hood, so that the heating process of the cooker is optimized.
In one example, the present embodiment has further effects in that: in the case where the content of oil smoke or water vapor in the air is too large, in the kitchen ware control method of the first embodiment, the fire power of the kitchen ware should be reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the content of oil smoke or water vapor in the air. However, in the second embodiment, if the current operating state of the range hood received in step S230 indicates that the range hood has been operated with a strong wind, and the content of oil smoke or water vapor in the air will be reduced quickly, then in step S240, the ideal operating state of the cooker may be determined as not requiring reduction of the fire power, which is particularly suitable for the case where cooking with a strong fire is required.
For example, to this end, the range hood may include a communication unit for transmitting a state of itself to the outside actively or in response to a specific request. In addition, as described above, the image capturing unit in the embodiment of the present application may be disposed at any position above the range, and preferably, the image capturing unit may be installed at a side of the range hood facing the range. Therefore, the image acquisition unit does not need to be provided with a circuit and the like independently, and the installation cost of the image acquisition unit is saved.
Therefore, by the kitchen ware control method according to the embodiment, various parameters related to a cooking process can be obtained through image recognition, the current working state of the range hood is obtained, and the ideal operating state of the kitchen ware is comprehensively determined. Therefore, a closed-loop control system of the range hood and the cooker is realized, and one-way feedback control from the range hood to the cooker is realized.
Third embodiment
Fig. 3 illustrates a flow chart of a third embodiment of a cookware control method according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 3, a kitchenware control method according to an embodiment of the present application includes: s310, receiving a current image in the cooking process collected by an image collecting unit; s320, identifying the current image to obtain a current parameter set related to the cooking process; s330, receiving the current operation state of the cooker; s340, receiving the current working state of the range hood; s350, determining an ideal operation state of the cooker based on the current parameter set; and S360, controlling the cooker to operate in the ideal operation state. Wherein, step S350, determining an ideal operating state of the cooking appliance based on the current parameter set includes determining an ideal linkage state of the cooking appliance and the range hood based on the current parameter set, the current operating state of the cooking appliance, and the current operating state of the range hood, the ideal linkage state including an ideal operating state of the cooking appliance and an ideal operating state of the range hood.
It can be seen that, compared to the first embodiment shown in fig. 1, the third embodiment shown in fig. 3 further comprises two steps S330 and S340 of receiving a current operating state in which the hob is currently located and receiving a current operating state in which the range hood is currently located. And, step S350 of fig. 3 is different from step S130 of fig. 1 in that an ideal linkage state of the cooktop and the range hood is determined based on the current parameter set, the current operating state of the cooktop, and the current operating state of the range hood at the same time, the ideal linkage state including an ideal operating state of the cooktop and an ideal operating state of the range hood.
In this way, in the kitchen tool control method according to the third embodiment, not only the operation state of the kitchen tool but also the working state of the range hood can be controlled, thereby establishing the bidirectional feedback and the linkage operation between the range hood and the kitchen tool. Therefore, the range hood and the kitchen range can be built into a linkage system together, so that the states of the cooker and the range hood are controlled, monitored and analyzed in a fully closed loop.
As in the first and second embodiments, the size of oil smoke, water vapor, etc. is analyzed through the image information collected by the installed image collecting device, the type of food material, the amount of water, the boiling degree of liquid and the overflow risk in the cooker are detected, and the operation of a person is identified. Further, in this embodiment, the current operating state of the cooker and the current operating state of the range hood may also be obtained, and the results to be generated may be dealt with and processed in advance through joint control of the cooker and the range hood and prediction. For example, the firepower or firepower mode of the cooker can be controlled by the control system, and the working mode of the range hood is adjusted by the control system, so that the smoke exhaust process is optimized. Therefore, an intelligent working mode with real-time feedback and closed-loop control is formed through analysis of image information.
Therefore, in the kitchenware control method, the method further comprises the following steps: and controlling the range hood to operate in the ideal working state.
For example, in the above-described kitchenware control method, the operating state of the range hood includes at least one of: the range hood is characterized by comprising a wind power, a lighting lamp intensity, a delay switch and a self-cleaning trigger.
That is, in addition to the control for the cooktop mentioned in the first and second embodiments, the ideal interlocking state in the kitchenware control method according to the third embodiment includes both the ideal operating state of the cooktop and the ideal operating state of the range hood. And the cooking range, the ideal frying state and the ideal working state of the range hood are mutually related, so that the range hood is most suitable for dealing with the current cooking condition.
For example, when a user starts to cook dishes, the oil in the pot is in a state close to boiling, and if food is put into the pot, a large amount of oil smoke is suddenly generated. However, in order to ensure the cooking process, even if the oil smoke content is large, the firepower of the cooker cannot be reduced too much, and at the moment, the wind power of the range hood needs to be increased, so that the oil smoke pumping strength is increased. Therefore, in the above process, by identifying the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, the current parameter set is acquired, which includes various parameters related to the action of a person approaching the cooker, the cooker being in an open state, the food in the pan from not being filled to full, and the sudden increase of the oil smoke content in the air. From the current set of parameters comprising the above parameters, it can be determined that the ideal operating state of the hob is a fire and the ideal operating state of the range hood is a wind, and thereby jointly controlling the hob and the range hood.
At the moment, if the current operation state of the cooker is big fire and the current working state of the range hood is big wind, the current operation state of the cooker and the current working state of the range hood do not need to be adjusted, and only the current state needs to be kept by controlling. In contrast, if the current operating state of the cooker is not a fire and the current operating state of the range hood is not a strong wind, the current operating state of the cooker needs to be adjusted to an ideal operating state and the current operating state of the range hood needs to be adjusted to an ideal operating state, respectively.
That is, in the above-described cookware control method, controlling the cooktop to operate in the ideal operating state includes: judging whether the current operating state of the cooker is the same as the ideal operating state; and if the two are not the same, switching the cooktop from the current operating state to the ideal operating state.
Similarly, in the kitchen ware control method, controlling the range hood to operate in the ideal working state includes: judging whether the current working state of the range hood is the same as the ideal working state or not; and if the current working state and the ideal working state are different, switching the range hood from the current working state to the ideal working state.
In another example, after a large amount of oil fumes is instantaneously emitted after the dishes are placed in the wok, the oil fume content in the air is significantly reduced. At this time, the current parameter set is obtained by identifying the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, and comprises various parameters related to the action of cooking, the open state of the cooker, the full state of food in the pan, the reduction of oil smoke content in the air and the increase of water vapor content in the air. From the current set of parameters comprising the above parameters, it is possible to determine the ideal operating state of the hob to be keeping the fire or to further increase the fire, and the ideal operating state of the range hood to be wind decreasing, and thereby jointly control the hob and the range hood.
In yet another example, as the food becomes cooked, the color of the food will change during the cooking process. At this time, the current parameter set is obtained by identifying the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, and comprises various parameters related to the action of people in cooking, the state that the cooker is opened, the state that the food in the pan is full and the color of the food in the pan changes. From the current set of parameters comprising the above parameters, it is possible to determine the ideal operating state of the hob as keeping or reducing fire, and the ideal operating state of the range hood as keeping wind, and thereby jointly control the hob and the range hood.
In addition, during the cooking process, the cover of the pan may need to be covered to further promote the food to be cooked, and after the cover of the pan is covered, the oil smoke content and the water vapor content in the air will be significantly reduced, and in order to maintain the temperature, the wind power of the range hood may be further reduced, while the fire power of the cooker may need to be increased or decreased according to the type of food materials. Also, the user may leave the hob at this time. Therefore, by identifying the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, the current parameter set is acquired, which comprises various parameters related to the action of leaving, the closed state of the cooker, the type of food materials in the pan, the oil smoke content and the water vapor content in the air. From the current set of parameters comprising the above parameters, it is possible to determine the ideal operating state of the hob to be increasing or decreasing fire, and the ideal operating state of the range hood to be decreasing wind, and thereby jointly control the hob and the range hood.
Thereafter, if the user needs to open the cover to check or stir-fry again, oil smoke and moisture in the pot suddenly flow out in a large amount, and accordingly, it is necessary to reduce the fire and increase the wind power. Therefore, by identifying the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, a current parameter set is acquired, which includes various parameters related to the action of a person opening the cover, the change of the cooker from the closed state to the open state, and the sudden increase of the oil smoke content and the water vapor content in the air. According to the current parameter set comprising the above parameters, the ideal operation state of the cooker is determined to reduce firepower, and the ideal operation state of the range hood is determined to reduce wind power, and thus the cooker and the range hood are jointly controlled.
Finally, when the whole cooking process is finished, the user walks the pot from the upper end of the cooker, the firepower can be turned off at the moment, and the wind power can also be turned off in a delayed manner. Therefore, by identifying the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, a current parameter set is acquired, which includes various parameters relating to the motion of the person leaving, the state in which the pan on the cooker is changed from being absent, and the like. From the current set of parameters comprising the above parameters, it can be determined that the ideal operating state of the hob is to switch the fire off and the ideal operating state of the range hood is to switch off with a delay, and thereby to control the hob and the range hood jointly.
In this embodiment, preferably, the image acquisition unit may be installed at a side of the range hood facing the cooker. Like this, the image acquisition unit can need not set up circuit etc. alone, has saved the installation cost of image acquisition unit to can realize the joint control operation between lampblack absorber and the cooking utensils conveniently.
Therefore, by the kitchen ware control method according to the embodiment, various parameters related to a cooking process can be obtained through image recognition, the current operation state of the kitchen ware and the current working state of the range hood are obtained, and the ideal operation state of the kitchen ware and the ideal working state of the range hood are further determined jointly. Therefore, the bidirectional feedback linkage of the range hood and the cooker is realized, and other specific parameters influencing the cooking process, such as food material types, human operation and the like, can be further considered, so that the intelligent kitchen ware control is realized.
