Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the operation of the food sales cooking system 100 will be described.
In step S1, the salesperson operates each sales transaction device 1 to perform a transaction for each edible item 200, and at the same time, obtains the item information of each edible item 200 by means of the barcode scanning or the like. Specifically, after the food information detecting unit 11 obtains the preliminary detection data (for example, bar code data, RFID data, product image, weight value, etc.) of each edible product 200, the sales accounting device 1 can directly perform the product discrimination and the product information reading. In addition, the preliminary detection data may also be transmitted to the control server 2 or other computer systems for product identification and product information acquisition. On the other hand, since the sales transaction apparatus 1 is online with the control server 2, when the retail clerk operates the sales transaction apparatus 1, various items of information read from the control server 2, such as whether or not each cooking unit 31 is in the in-use state, which cooking unit 31 is set by the system to be used for cooking the food product 200 for the currently checked customer, the time required for the customer to wait when all the cooking units 31 are in the in-use state, and the like, can be known from the sales transaction apparatus 1, so that the retail clerk can grasp detailed information and provide the customer with appropriate arrangement and description.
In step S2, after obtaining the merchandise information obtained in step S1, the control server 2 can automatically search and select a cooking parameter corresponding to the food merchandise 200 from its database. In the case where the food cooking apparatus 3 is a microwave oven, the cooking parameter may be a cooking mode, a cooking power, a cooking time, or the like of the microwave oven. Subsequently, the control server 2 selects an inoperative food cooking apparatus 3 from the food cooking apparatuses 3 and transmits the cooking parameters to the food cooking apparatus 3.
In step S3, when the selected food cooking device 3 receives the cooking parameters from the control server 2, the presentation unit 32 issues default presentation information to present the salesperson or customer with the food product 200 in the cooking unit 31 to perform the cooking operation. In a case where the food cooking apparatus 3 is a microwave oven, the cooking unit 31 includes a not-shown electromagnetic tube, a waveguide, a rotating fan, a food heating space, and the like, and the prompting unit 32 may prompt an operator to place the edible product 200 in the food heating space by means of flashing of a light emitting element, displaying characters or images on a display screen, emitting a pointing sound from a speaker, and the like. Subsequently, the cooking unit 31 performs cooking of the food item 200 according to the received cooking parameters. During or after the cooking process, the prompting unit 32 can also send out information for prompting the operator in a default mode to complete the whole operation program.
That is, in the above process, after the sales settlement device 1 completes the settlement operation and simultaneously acquires the product information, the product information is transmitted to the control server 2, the control server 2 selects the cooking parameter and transmits the cooking parameter to the food cooking device 3, and the food cooking device 3 is caused to issue the cooking instruction information and cook the food product, thereby completing the entire execution program.
In summary, in the food sales cooking system 100 according to the present invention, by the linkage of the sales settlement device 1 and the food cooking device 3, after the settlement operation of the food product 200 is completed through the sales settlement device 1, the salesperson or the customer can cook the food product 200 in one food cooking device 3 in which the system automatically selects and automatically sets the cooking parameters. The checkout process is substantially the same as that of a general store, and requires no significant changes in software, hardware, or execution flow, and therefore, the checkout process is suitable for use in an existing store. In addition, since the cooking parameters of the food cooking device 3 are not set manually during the cooking process, the convenience of use can be improved, and the cooking result can be ensured to meet the expectation. On the other hand, the presentation unit 32 of each food cooking apparatus 3 can issue various cooking instruction information, and in addition to issuing instruction information to the food cooking apparatus 3 selected by the system after completion of payment, a customer can easily find and use the set food cooking apparatus 3 among the plurality of food cooking apparatuses 3 based on the character, image, or sound information issued by the presentation unit 32, and a customer who is not familiar with the food cooking apparatus 3 can smoothly complete the cooking process of the edible product 200, thereby reducing the occurrence of errors and improving convenience and safety of use. Therefore, the food sales cooking system 100 does achieve the object of the present invention.
