All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in other sequences than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Example 1

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an accessory management method, it being noted that the steps illustrated in the flowchart of the drawings may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that while a logical order is illustrated in the flowchart, in some cases the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order different than here.

Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method of managing accessories according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method including the steps of:

step S102, detecting the type of the currently installed accessory on the cooking appliance;

step S104, judging whether the type of the currently installed accessory is a preset type, wherein the preset type is the type of the accessory which is installed on the cooking utensil in advance;

and step S106, activating a first function corresponding to the currently installed accessory under the condition that the type of the currently installed accessory is not the preset type, so that a control program corresponding to the first function is allowed to be called by the controller of the cooking appliance.

The cooking appliance may be an electric pressure cooker, an electric rice cooker, an air fryer, a food processor, and other devices having multiple functions. In order to realize multiple functions, the cooking utensil can be configured with a plurality of accessories, and the accessory here can be the pot cover of different grade type, toast basket, stirring leaf etc. moreover, different functions can be realized to different accessories, for example, pressure cooking can be realized to the pressure cooker lid, toasts the pot cover and can realize toasting the culinary art, and the stirring leaf can realize eating material stirring etc.. In the embodiment of the present invention, a cooking appliance is configured with a plurality of different types of pot lids as an example.

Because different types of pot covers can realize different functions, in order to ensure that the cooking appliance can realize different functions, the functions corresponding to all accessories are required to be stored in a memory of the cooking appliance in advance, and when the corresponding functions are required to be used, the corresponding control programs are required to be called from the memory.

The cooking appliance is usually only sold with a standard accessory when being shipped from a factory, and the standard accessory is usually a fixed accessory of a plurality of accessories, so the pre-installed accessory can be a standard accessory, and the preset type can be a type of the standard accessory. For example, for a multifunctional cooking appliance, a plurality of parts such as a pressure cover, a baking cover, a glass cover, etc. may be generally arranged, but since a factory standard part is a pressure cover, a pre-installed part may be a pressure cover.

Optionally, before activating the first function, a second function corresponding to the pre-installed accessory is in an activated state, and other functions of the cooking appliance except the second function are in an inactivated state. That is, after the user purchases the cooking appliance, the user may use the function corresponding to the standard accessory, and the functions corresponding to the other accessories may be used after the user purchases the corresponding accessories, at this time, only the function corresponding to the standard accessory is activated, and the functions corresponding to the other accessories are not activated. For example, still taking the above-mentioned multifunctional cooking appliance as an example, the user is allowed to use only the function corresponding to the pressure cover by default, but not the function corresponding to the baking cover or the glass cover. Through activating the second function corresponding to the pre-installed accessory and ensuring that other functions are in an inactivated state, the user can only select the second function to perform cooking operation, and the phenomenon that the user selects the functions corresponding to other accessories, misoperation occurs and normal cooking of the cooking appliance is affected is avoided.

In an alternative embodiment, in order to avoid that the user needs to select the function to be used from the functions of all accessories, when the cooking appliance is shipped from the factory, only the second function corresponding to the standard accessory sold in the market is set to be in the activated state, and the functions corresponding to the other accessories are kept in the inactivated state. In this case, the user can select only the function corresponding to the standard accessory, but cannot select the function corresponding to the other accessory. When a user wants to execute functions corresponding to other accessories, the user can purchase the corresponding accessories and install the accessories on the cooking appliance, at this time, the fact that the accessories of a non-preset type are installed on the cooking appliance can be detected, in order to ensure that the user can use the functions corresponding to the accessories, a first function corresponding to the accessories can be activated, the first function is provided for the user to be selected, and the user directly calls a corresponding control program to perform cooking operation after the user selects the first function.

Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, a menu sequence is displayed in the operation interface of the cooking appliance, where the menu sequence includes: a function in an activated state.

Since the number of functions stored in the cooking appliance is large, for example, the functions corresponding to the pressure cooker cover may include different recipes (such as cooking, cooking soup, stewing pork ribs, stewing pork trotters, etc.), cooking pressure, cooking time, etc., and if the functions corresponding to all the accessories are displayed on the operation interface, redundancy of the operation interface may be caused.

The operation interface may be an interface provided on the cooking appliance and provided for a user to perform an operation, and the interface may be displayed on a liquid crystal touch screen, an LED screen, or a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) screen installed outside the cooking appliance, where for the liquid crystal touch screen, the user may directly select a function on the touch screen through a touch operation; for LED screens and TFT screens, the user may select a function by a mechanical key or a touch key.

In an alternative embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to select the function to be used and avoid the tedious operation interface, the menu sequence is displayed in the operation interface, and the function in the activated state is added in the menu sequence, but the function in the inactivated state is not added, so that the user can only view the activated function and select the function to be used for cooking operation, and the effect of avoiding the tedious operation interface is achieved.

Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, in a case that the currently installed accessory corresponds to a plurality of first functions, the method further includes: obtaining scoring values of a plurality of first functions; sequencing the plurality of first functions according to the descending order of the score values of the plurality of first functions; a preset number of first functions ranked top are added to the menu sequence.

The score value may be an initial score set for different functions before the cooking appliance leaves a factory, and the higher the score value is, the higher the ranking of the function is, the higher the use probability of the user is; it is also possible to determine the score value of each function based on information such as the frequency of use, the number of times of use, the last time of use, etc. of the user after each use by the user.

The preset number may be the number of functions to be displayed determined by experiments, the number of functions to be displayed set by the user display requirement, or the same number as the number of the plurality of first functions.

In an alternative embodiment, the plurality of first functions may be sorted in order of the magnitude of the score value, and a preset number of first functions with the top sorting may be added to the menu sequence for display, so that the user may select from the first functions with the highest frequency of use. Different score values are set aiming at different functions in advance, and the first function needing to be displayed is determined based on the score values, so that the user can select the function with the higher score value while the complexity of an operation interface is avoided, and the use by the user is facilitated.

For example, the pre-installed accessory is a glass cover, and the corresponding second function includes: porridge, steamed, cooked rice, and miscellaneous grain rice; the accessory of current installation is the pressure cooker lid, and a plurality of corresponding first functions include: bean tendon, beef and mutton, pork rib, fragrant glutinous rice, nutritious porridge and soup. Wherein, the score values of the first function are respectively: 3.5 parts of bean tendon, 6.8 parts of beef and mutton, 7.0 parts of pork chop, 9.5 parts of fragrant glutinous rice, 8.3 parts of nutrient porridge and 5.2 parts of soup. When the preset number is 3, it may be determined that the first function finally added to the menu sequence is: glutinous rice, nutritious porridge and meat chops, and at this time, the menu sequence includes the functions of: porridge, steamed rice, rice with miscellaneous cereals, fragrant glutinous rice, nutritious porridge, and pork chop. The other first functions, although also activated, are not shown in the operator interface.

It should be noted that, at this time, the menu sequence includes all the second functions and a preset number of the first functions, that is, the number of the functions included in the menu sequence is increased by only the preset number.

Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, after activating the first function, the method further includes one of: removing the second function from the menu sequence; and under the condition that the pre-installed accessories correspond to a plurality of second functions, deleting target functions in the plurality of second functions from the menu sequence, wherein the target functions are the second functions with the ranking values of a preset number after ranking.

If the function corresponding to the accessory is added to the menu sequence after the accessory with the different type is installed each time, after the user uses the accessory with the different type for many times, the functions contained in the menu sequence are more and more, so that more and more functions are displayed in the operation interface, and the problem of redundancy of the operation interface still exists.

In an alternative embodiment, in order to avoid the operation interface from being redundant, the second function corresponding to the standard accessory may be deleted from the menu sequence, that is, the old function is completely hidden and cannot be viewed and selected in the operation interface by the user. In another optional embodiment, in order to avoid the complexity of the operation interface and ensure that the user can normally use the preset type of accessory, the partial second function with the lower score value may be deleted from the menu sequence, and only the second function with the higher score value is retained, that is, the old partial function is hidden, so that the user can directly select in the operation interface when using the preset type of accessory again.

For example, the pre-installed accessory is a glass cover, and the corresponding second function includes: porridge, steamed, cooked rice, and miscellaneous grain rice; the accessory of current installation is the pressure cooker lid, and a plurality of corresponding first functions include: bean tendon, beef and mutton, pork rib, fragrant glutinous rice, nutritious porridge and soup. Wherein the score values of the second function are respectively: 9.1 parts of porridge, 7.6 parts of porridge, 6.0 parts of steamed rice, 8.2 parts of rice and 3.3 parts of coarse cereal rice. When the preset number is 3, it may be determined that the second function finally deleted from the menu sequence is: coarse cereals, cooking and porridge, at this time, the menu sequence contains the functions of: porridge, rice, bean tendon, beef and mutton, pork rib, fragrant glutinous rice, nutrient porridge and soup.

It should be noted that, at this time, the menu sequence includes all the first functions, or includes all the first functions and a part of the second functions, that is, at this time, the number of functions included in the menu sequence is increased by only a specific difference value, which is the difference value between the number of the first functions and the number of the target functions.

Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, in a case that a currently installed accessory corresponds to a plurality of first functions, and a pre-installed accessory corresponds to a plurality of second functions, the method further includes: obtaining the scoring values of a plurality of first functions and the scoring values of a plurality of second functions; sequencing the plurality of first functions according to the descending order of the score values of the plurality of first functions; sequencing the plurality of second functions according to the descending order of the score values of the plurality of second functions; adding a preset number of first functions ranked at the top to the menu sequence, and deleting a preset number of second functions ranked at the back from the menu sequence.

In an alternative embodiment, in order to avoid the complexity of the operation interface, the plurality of first functions may be sorted according to the size order of the score values, and a preset number of first functions with the top sorting may be added to the menu sequence for display, so that the user may select from the first functions with the highest frequency of use; meanwhile, a preset number of second functions with lower scoring values are deleted from the menu sequence, and only the second functions with higher scoring values are reserved. Different scoring values are set for different functions, and the functions needing to be displayed are determined based on the scoring values, so that the effects of avoiding the increase of the number of the functions in an operation interface and facilitating the use of the functions with higher scoring values by a user are achieved.

For example, the pre-installed accessory is a glass cover, and the corresponding second function includes: porridge, steamed, cooked rice, and miscellaneous grain rice; the accessory of current installation is the pressure cooker lid, and a plurality of corresponding first functions include: bean tendon, beef and mutton, pork rib, fragrant glutinous rice, nutritious porridge and soup. Wherein the score values of the second function are respectively: 9.1 parts of porridge, 7.6 parts of porridge, 6.0 parts of steamed rice, 8.2 parts of rice and 3.3 parts of coarse cereal rice; the score values of the first function are respectively: 3.5 parts of bean tendon, 6.8 parts of beef and mutton, 7.0 parts of pork chop, 9.5 parts of fragrant glutinous rice, 8.3 parts of nutrient porridge and 5.2 parts of soup. When the preset number is 3, it may be determined that the first function finally added to the menu sequence is: the second function, finally deleted from the menu sequence, of the savoury glutinous rice, the nutritional porridge and the meat chops is: coarse cereals, cooking and porridge, the menu sequence now contains the functions: porridge, rice, glutinous rice, nutritious porridge, and pork chop.

It should be noted that, at this time, the menu sequence includes a preset number of first functions, and deletes a preset number of second functions, that is, the number of functions included in the menu sequence remains unchanged at this time.

It should also be noted that, in the actual application process, one of the three schemes may be selected to achieve the purpose of updating the menu sequence, so as to ensure that the number of functions displayed on the operation interface can meet the actual requirement, and avoid the problem of redundancy of the operation interface due to the increase of the number of functions on the operation interface.

Optionally, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the detecting the type of the currently installed accessory on the cooking appliance includes: acquiring an output signal of a detection circuit, wherein the detection circuit is connected with a currently installed accessory; the type of currently installed accessory is determined based on the output signal.
