step 101: and when the food materials are detected to be put into the pot, judging whether an operation instruction is received within the preset time.

In this embodiment, the pot is used for containing food materials.

Exemplarily, when the cooking appliance has a detachable pan, the pan refers to the detachable pan of the cooking appliance. For example, an electric cooker or a pressure cooker, etc. has a separable pot, commonly called an inner pot, and then, detecting whether food is put in the pot means detecting whether food is put in the inner pot.

Exemplarily, when the cooking appliance does not have a detachable pot, the pot refers to the inseparable pot integrated with the cooking appliance main body. For example, in the case of cooking appliances such as an electric baking pan, an electric chafing dish, etc., the pot means a pot which cannot be separated from the main body of the cooking appliance.

In an optional embodiment, the manner of detecting whether the food material is put in the pot comprises:

acquiring detection data output by a first sensor;

and judging whether food materials are put into the pot or not according to the detection data.

Here, the first sensor includes, but is not limited to, an infrared sensor, a weight sensor, an image sensor.

For example, when the detection data of the infrared sensor indicates that there is an object in the pan, it is determined that food is put in the pan.

For another example, when the current weight of the pot represented by the detection data exceeds a preset weight threshold, it is determined that food materials are put into the pot. The preset weight threshold may be a net weight value when no food material is put in the pan.

For another example, when the detection data of the image sensor indicates that there is an object image in the pan, it is determined that food material is placed in the pan. In general, when no food material is put in the pan, no object image can be acquired.

Therefore, whether food materials are put into the pot or not can be accurately judged.

In another optional embodiment, the manner of detecting whether the food material is put in the pot comprises:

and when the situation that the electric cooking appliance is changed from the non-sealing state to the sealing state and the electric cooking appliance is in the power-on standby state is detected, the food material is put into the pot.

For example, when the pressure cooker is not used and the cooker cover is not closed, the pressure cooker is in a non-sealing state; when the cooker cover is in a closed state, the pressure cooker is in a sealed state. When the cover of the pressure cooker is changed from a non-closed state to a closed state and is in a power-on standby state, the pressure cooker is generally judged to be used when food materials are put into the cooker.

In an embodiment, the determining whether the operation instruction is received within the preset time includes:

Generally, the control panel is provided with a start key, a close key, a function selection key, a reservation key, and the like. The function selection key is a cooking type supported by the cooking appliance, such as steaming, boiling, stewing, and the like. It should be noted that the cooking types supported by different cooking appliances may be different.

In this embodiment, the cooking appliance has at least two cooking modes, namely: cooking immediately and cooking appointment.

In this embodiment, the preset time may be set before the product leaves the factory, or may be set by a user according to actual needs of the user or adjusted according to the existing preset time. For example, the preset time may be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or the like.

Step 102: and identifying the food material if the operation instruction is not received within the preset time.

In an embodiment, the identifying the food material comprises:

acquiring image acquisition data of an image acquisition device of the cooking appliance aiming at food materials in the pot;

and analyzing the food material according to the image acquisition data to obtain an identification result.

Here, the image capturing device may be disposed on an inner cover of the cooking appliance, i.e., a cover facing a side of the inner pan.

Therefore, by identifying the food material, basis support can be provided for subsequently determining the cooking mode of the food material.

Optionally, the identification result includes at least one of:

the food materials comprise food material types, the proportion of different food materials and the weight of different food materials.

Here, since the foods which may be made by the same kind of food materials are different, if two food materials of rice and water are filled in the pot, the food can be made into rice and porridge; according to the proportion of rice and water, the rice porridge machine can better judge whether the rice porridge machine is suitable for making rice or porridge. According to the weight of the rice and the weight of the water, the rice can be judged to be suitable for making rice or porridge.

In one embodiment, the method for identifying the proportion of different kinds of food materials or the weight of different kinds of food materials includes:

acquiring the weight gain of the pan;

determining the density of different food materials;

and determining the proportion of the different kinds of food materials or the weight of the different kinds of food materials by combining the total weight and the densities of the different kinds of food materials.

Of course, the proportion of different kinds of food materials or the weight of different kinds of food materials can be determined in other manners, and details are not repeated herein.

Step 103: and determining the eating time of the food material according to the current time and the user habit eating time corresponding to the food material.

In an embodiment, the determining the current eating time of the food material according to the current time and the user habit eating time corresponding to the food material includes:

acquiring the user habit eating time corresponding to the food material;

and determining the eating time of the food material this time according to the user habit eating time corresponding to the food material.

Specifically, the user habit eating time corresponding to the food material at least comprises:

the corresponding relation between the food material types and the habit eating time of the corresponding food material types; or

The food material types and the corresponding relationship of the food material user habit eating time of the corresponding types of food materials.

Here, the user habit food time may be a user's reservation time.

The habit eating time of the user can also be the time for taking the meal by the user, namely the time for taking the food out of the pot after the food is processed.

It should be noted that, if the user habit eating time corresponding to the food material is not obtained, the present eating time of the food material may be determined according to the obtained auxiliary information.

In an embodiment, before determining the current eating time of the food material according to the current time and the user habit eating time corresponding to the food material, the method further includes:

acquiring auxiliary information;

wherein the auxiliary information comprises at least one of:

current blood glucose data of the user;
