- Beverage preparation machines for preparing beverages or the like from an extraction material present in a portion packaging are known, for example, as coffee or espresso machines.
- the Portionsveipackungen are designed as a capsule in which the extraction material, for example. Airtight is completed.
- the capsule is pierced, for example on two opposite sides. On the first side then an extraction liquid - generally hot water - is introduced. On the second side, the extraction product is discharged from the capsule. This happens in a so-called brewing module.
- the beverage preparation machine can produce a beverage or, generally speaking, a total product of two partial products.
- EP 2 155 023 B1 discloses a beverage preparation module with a graphic interface on which a filling level symbol, which represents a level of a vessel, can be moved by touching the graphic interface.

- US 2012/035761 shows the definition of proportions of ingredients by arrow keys and their representation in a pie chart. It is a possible object of the invention to provide a system with a beverage preparation machine, a method for operating a beverage preparation machine and a computer program for operating a beverage preparation machine, which enable a simplified operation.
- Another possible object is to provide such a system, method and computer program that enable the production of a wide variety of beverage variants. At least one of these objects is achieved by a system, a method and a computer program according to the corresponding claims.
- the method for operating a beverage preparation machine is used to produce a total product of a first partial product and at least one second partial product. It has at least the following steps:
- a user can set the proportions of the partial products in the total product, after which the beverage preparation machine automatically performs the preparation. It is thus a user-quantitatively predetermined combination of partial products to produce without the user himself must control the amounts, for example by monitoring the level of a container and manually switching on and off of a valve or a pump.
- the total product additionally has a third partial product
- the user input specifies a third proportion and the total product comprises the combination with the third partial product corresponding to the third proportion.
- a user can set the proportions of the partial products in the total product, after which the beverage preparation machine automatically performs the preparation. It is thus a user-quantitatively predetermined combination of partial products to produce without the user himself must control the amounts, for example by monitoring the level of a container and manually switching on and off of a valve or a pump.
- a very large variability of the overall product can be realized.
- a graphical representation of the proportions is shown, each with a share display per share, where a size of the share display is substantially proportional to the corresponding proportion, and the size of at least one of the share displays and the corresponding proportion according to a User input is customizable.
- the display can take place on a screen or flat display element, but alternatively also by a number of display elements such as, for example, color-changeable light-emitting diodes.
- a proportion can be transmitted and processed in the process as an absolute value (for example, milliliter, pump running time, pump delivery rate per unit time) or relative size relative to a reference volume, for example a total volume of a container.
- the share displays are contiguous portions of a linear representation of the portions on a touch screen or touch screen. Such a representation corresponds to a stacked column chart or bar chart.
- setting icons are displayed at boundaries between the sections, and the size of the share displays is adjustable by moving the set icons by the user.
- a user may touch the screen with a finger or stylus at the location where an adjustment icon is displayed, whereupon the adjustment icon automatically tracks movement of the finger or stylus along at least one dimension of the touchscreen , and when removing the finger or stylus - at any other location on the touch screen - remains in a position corresponding to this position on the touch screen. This defines a corresponding proportion.
- boundaries between the slits are adjustable by moving the finger or pen on the screen to move the boundary closest to or closer to the point of contact with the screen when it touched the screen (before scrolling) than a minimum distance is.
- both boundaries of the portion in which the location of the touch lies are shifted in accordance with the movement of the finger or stylus.
- setting symbols can be dispensed with.
- the fractional displays are part of a pictorial representation of superimposed portions of the partial products in the overall product.
- the share advertisements can each have a symbolic representation of the corresponding Partial product using color and / or structure of the partial product include.
- the presentation of the partial products is adapted in accordance with the adjoining partial products.
- the representation of a partial product is adapted according to the presence of a second partial product in the pictorial representation of the proportion displays.
- the proportion displays show a pictorial display of the proportions in a pictorial representation of a container.
- the first part product is coffee and the second part product is milk or milk foam.
- the first part product is coffee
- the second part product is milk
- the third part product is milk foam.
- first or “second” partial product, etc. does not necessarily mean a chronological order of the production of the partial products: for example, the second partial product can be produced before the first partial product and dispensed into the container. Also, two partial products can be produced and dispensed simultaneously.
- when adjusting one of the quantities a sum of all quantities is limited to one total. This can be done, for example, by, when the total amount is reached, an adjustment of the proportions to higher amounts out is not possible. In other words, none of the share displays can be shifted to higher amounts.
- the user must reduce one of the other proportions before one of the quantities can be increased.
- the limiting may be done by automatically reducing the proportions of one of the other proportions, or both of the other proportions, as one of the fractions increases after reaching the total amount. If both other percentages are reduced, the other two percentages can be reduced proportionally to each other.
- the second sub-product is milk and the third sub-product is milk foam
- a second amount corresponding to a quantity of milk is limited down to a lower value that is a function of the third proportion corresponding to a quantity of frothed milk.
- This proportion can be determined on the basis of experimentally determined and executed in the operating device or the control unit functions, which can optionally also depend on measurable parameters. On the one hand, therefore, a proportion of the milk can be set to a minimum value corresponding to the amount of frothed milk to be produced, and the corresponding proportion display can also be displayed accordingly.
- a proportion of milk is already produced when the milk foam is produced, and therefore the proportion of pure milk to be transported can be correspondingly reduced.
- milk is produced with a volume fraction of 30% of the volume fraction of milk froth produced.
- two of the proportions have a constant relationship to each other. For example, this applies to a second proportion corresponding to a quantity of milk and for a third proportion corresponding to a quantity of milk foam. If one of these proportions is adjusted, the other is also adjusted according to the ratio. This may be expedient if a milk frothing unit is designed to produce milk and milk froth in only this constant ratio.
- a first proportion may only assume either the value zero or a value that is above a minimum value of the first proportion. In other words, the first proportion can not assume values greater than zero and less than the minimum value.
- the first partial product - corresponding to the first proportion - coffee thus reflects the fact that either no coffee or then only a certain minimum amount, for example 20 ml or more can be prepared. The same can apply to other partial products. For example, foaming only very small quantities of milk is technically difficult and can be ruled out.
- the method includes, as a further step: detecting a user input for specifying a bin size or total amount of the total product.
- the method can be adapted to the size of different containers to be used, the total amount specified in this field being used to limit the sum of the different proportions.
- the method comprises, as a further step: detecting a user input for specifying a temperature selection for at least one of the partial products.
- the method also includes the step of supplying milk and forming milk froth by means of a common auxiliary unit, and optionally also heating the milk and / or the milk froth. This makes it possible to form two additional components for the preparation of a beverage with only one additional unit and thus with relatively little effort.
- the system comprising a beverage preparation machine for producing a total product from at least three partial products comprises:
- Preparation units for producing the total product as a combination of a first partial product and at least one second Partial product and a third partial product, with an amount of the first partial product corresponding to the first proportion and an amount of the second partial product corresponding to the second proportion and an amount of the third partial product corresponding to the third proportion.
- the input means are part of the beverage preparation machine, for example a control unit thereof. So it is no further, separate from the beverage preparation machine device for detecting a user input required.
- the input means are formed on an operating device which is separate from the beverage preparation machine.
- the operating device has an input device and an output device, which can be combined as a touchscreen, as well as a data processing unit and a communication unit for communication with the beverage preparation machine.
- the operating device can be a mobile device, in particular a portable device, for example a mobile phone or smartphone, or a functionally equivalent device such as a smartwatch or a "wearable computer.”
- the operating device can also be permanently installed, for example as part of a building or kitchen automation system. Thanks to the operating device operating elements, in particular the input device and output device of the operating device, and its programmability and computing power to control the beverage preparation machine can be used.
- the operating device is designed to carry out at least part of the described method.
- the HMI communicates via a communication link with the beverage preparation machine.
- data is transferred to the beverage preparation machine which is representative of a container selection or total volume, absolute or relative amount. and optional further parameters of partial products, such as temperature, order of preparation of partial products, name of the beverage, name of the user, preparation advice and recommendations, capsule preference.
- Other data may be acknowledgment inputs indicating to the system that the user has performed a displayed user instruction. From the beverage preparation machine to the operating device display initial values for quantities, user instructions, etc. can be transmitted.
- An interface unit can also be designed for non-contact control, for example as gesture control or voice control.
- the system has an additional unit which is designed both for supplying milk as a second partial product, optionally with heating of the milk, and for forming and supplying milk foam as a third partial product to the total product predetermined quantity (third portion) of milk foam to produce, as well as a predetermined amount (second proportion) of milk.
- such an auxiliary unit also referred to below as a milk frothing unit, has a gear pump.
- the gear pump is connected on the input side with a milk supply line and an air supply.
- an operating parameter is adjustable as a function of a measured value and / or a user input.
- adjusting is here meant the influence on the at least one operating parameter of the milk frothing unit, which influences how this during an active milk frothing operation; the adjustability is thus different from a mere "on / off", as is known from dockable milk frother devices according to the prior art.
- the adjustability is in particular such that a parameter specified by the user and / or predetermined by a controller has an influence on the properties and / or the quantity of milk froth produced.
- the invention is based inter alia on the recognition that properties of milk froth produced also depend on parameters that can not be known a priori.
- the inventor of the present invention has found in systematic experiments that both the temperature and the fat content as well as other properties of the milk have a decisive influence on the foam preparation.
- An activation of the milk frothing unit which adjusts the operating parameter depending on the user input and / or the measured value, can be present as part of the milk frother or can be arranged externally in the beverage preparation machine.
- a value influencing the adjustment a value measured directly on the milk is possible, for example the milk temperature and / or the conductivity and / or another property of the milk as such.
- a value ascertained in the beverage preparation machine is also suitable, for example a measurement result for detecting a thrown-in beverage capsule in a capsule recognition module on the basis of a label or on the basis of the color and / or shape of the capsule.
- a user input influencing the adjustment can be the direct input of the operating parameter, or else an input which indirectly influences the operating parameter, for example via the selection of a specific program via the Beverage preparation machine (eg "Latte Macchiato dark”, “Latte Macchiato light”, “Cappuccino light” or the like).
- the adjustability of the milk frothing unit may be an adjustability of the gear pump speed; This can, for example, depending on the nature of the gear pump or an associated electric motor controllable and therefore directly controllable or only indirectly, for example. Be influenced by the pump power.
- the milk frothing unit has a throttle on the output side of the gear pump; such can be formed by a narrowing of the channel for the foamed milk. The interaction of gear pump speed and throttle will have a direct impact on the compression of the air (milk as a liquid is incompressible, and other parameters influencing foaming such as surface tension are constant), and thus also on the properties of air bubbles in the foam.
- gear pump Other parameters of the gear pump, such as a gear spacing, can be selected as the operating parameter.
- the adjustability may be or include an adjustability of the air supply.
- a valve unit through which the air supply takes place a variable active valve cross-section (total cross section of the opening through which air flows).
- a valve unit in particular has a plurality of valve elements which can be opened or closed independently of each other. As a result, different valve opening states can be obtained.
- valve elements may have a common valve chamber, from which the air flows in the direction of the gear pump.
- the valve inlet may be arranged as described in the Rajinlieit, or in another part of the beverage preparation machine, in particular in the base unit.
- the auxiliary unit is supplied with an already set variable air flow.
- the computer program is designed for execution on an operating device for operating a beverage preparation machine for producing a total product from at least three partial products.
- the computer program performs the following steps when running on the operator panel:
- the display of customizable preparation parameters may initially display stored initial values (or default values) which may then be adjusted by the user.
- further steps of the method described herein are performed upon execution of the computer program.
- the computer program for execution on an operating unit for operating a beverage preparation machine can be loaded into an internal memory of a digital data processing unit of the operating unit and has computer program code means which, when executed in the digital data processing unit of the operating unit, execute the steps provided for the operating unit bring the method described above.
- a computer program product has a data carrier, or a computer-readable medium, on which the computer program code means are stored. Further preferred embodiments emerge from the dependent claims.

- control information or corresponding commands are converted by the basic unit 10 and auxiliary unit 11 in accordance with the preparation specification and thus a preparation procedure is implemented. If Preparation instructions, these are displayed to the user at appropriate points in the process. Following an acknowledgment by the user by means of the input unit 141 or the user interface 44, which confirms the execution of the user instruction to the system, subsequent control information of the preparation procedure is implemented.
- a preparation rule may include formulation parameters that may be adjusted by the user, as well as preparation parameters that are not user-customizable.
- Adaptable preparation parameters are, for example, (volume) fractions of partial products in the overall product, a total amount, or the temperature of a partial product.
- the cooking instructions may include a default or default value that is used when the user does not adjust the parameter.
- the user For adapting customizable preparation parameters, the user is shown a selection of one or more such preparation parameters on the operating unit 14 of the beverage preparation machine 1 or the user interface 44 of the operating device 4, and an input of the user for adaptation of the preparation parameter is recorded.
- the input can be made by pressing real buttons and / or virtual buttons such as buttons or "buttons", in particular "arrow keys” and / or sliding markers or “slider” on a touch screen of the control unit 14 or the control unit 4.
- buttons or buttons buttons or "buttons"
- buttons or sliding markers or “slider” buttons or "buttons"
- all types of parameters can be adjusted in this way.
- the adaptation of proportions of partial products to a total product is described. According to the representation shown in FIG.
- the input is effected by moving markings, referred to in the following as setting symbols 45, 46, 47, on a screen, in particular a touchscreen of the operating device 4 or the operating unit 14.
- the setting symbols 45, 46, 47 shown on a symbolic representation of the overall product with the partial products.
- a container can be represented in cross-section (as in FIG. 1), or the entire width of the screen can be filled with a representation of the partial products (see FIG. 3).
- This representation can be scaled so that, regardless of the total amount of total product to be produced (ideally according to the size or volume of a chosen container 2, respectively), the total quantity is always represented with the same size. In this case, the presentation only provides information about the relative proportions of the partial products in the overall product.
- this representation can be scaled so that the total quantity presented is displayed proportionally to the total quantity of the total product to be produced. In this case, the presentation gives a statement about the absolute amount of the partial products and the total product.
- a mutual position of the adjustment symbols along a linear axis represents the proportion or the amount or a level of partial products in the overall product.
- a vertical stratification of the partial products in the container 2 is indicated.
- a first share display 41 represents the proportion of a first partial product and this proportion can be adjusted on the touchscreen by moving a first setting symbol 45 by the user.
- the first part product is coffee.
- a second share display 42 with a second set icon 46 and a third share display 43 with a third setting symbol 47 as further partial milk and milk foam. If there is no touchscreen, the setting symbols can be adjusted by means of pushbuttons.
- FIG. 48 Further elements for adaptation of preparation parameters are a container selection symbol 48 and a temperature selection symbol 49.
- the container selection symbol 48 activated, for example after touching the container selection symbol 48, a selection of containers with different volumes is displayed and a selection of the user is detectable.
- the temperature selection symbol 49 when the temperature selection symbol 49 is activated, the choice of a temperature of one of the partial products, in this case milk, can be detected. It is a choice of discrete, predetermined temperatures or vessel sizes possible, in other embodiments, a stepless choice.
- the software for displaying and capturing user input can restrict user input to physically and technically meaningful values. For example, if a portion pack 3 is inserted, a minimum amount of coffee, for example 20 ml, must be specified according to the first share display 41. Thus, the first setting symbol 45 can not be moved below a corresponding value. If the user tries this anyway, a message may be displayed. Further, for example, the third adjustment icon 47 can not be moved over an upper edge of a selected container shown. Or, if the increase in the amount of one of the partial products results in the total amount exceeding the volume of the selected container 2, either the further displacement of the corresponding setting symbol 45, 46, 47 can be prevented, or the proportion of one of the other partial products be automatically reduced so that the total amount is limited to the volume of the container 2.
- FIGS. 2 to 7 show a sequence of exemplary displays on the operating device 4 or, in general, of an interface unit for preparing a product.
- Figure 2 shows a selection screen for selecting one of several preparation instructions. After making a selection, an adjustment screen for adjusting preparation parameters according to FIG. 3 is displayed. Its elements have already been explained in connection with FIG.
- FIG. 4 shows the adaptation screen after activation of the container selection symbol 48: several container symbols are displayed, one of which can be selected.
- Figure 5 shows the adjustment screen in a state in which all setting symbols 45, 46, 47 have been moved all the way down to a minimum position, corresponding to a proportion of zero. To produce the overall product, at least one of the setting symbols 45, 46, 47 would have to be shifted to a nonzero fraction.
- FIG. 6 shows elements of a pictorial representation of the share displays for areas in which share displays adjoin one another and / or where the representation of a partial product is adapted in accordance with the presence of a second partial product.
- the partial products coffee, milk and milk foam and the following elements are shown in the figure:
- Variants 61a-c of a top closure i. at the end of the ad at the top of the top portion: 61a - with coffee; 61b - for milk; 61c - with milk foam.
- Variants 62a-d of Share Indications 61a - Milk, if coffee is present in the whole product (slightly brownish colored); 61b - Milk if there is no coffee in the whole product (lighter than 61a and darker than 61c); 61c - milk foam; 61d coffee.
- 63a Transition between coffee and overlying milk or overlying coffee
- 63b transition between coffee and overlying foam
- 63c Transition between milk and overlying foam, if coffee is present in the whole product (the lower part, corresponding to the milk, is slightly brownish in color)
- 63d Transition between milk and overlying foam, if there is no coffee in the whole product (the lower part, corresponding to
- Milk is lighter than at 63c); 63e - transition between milk and overlying coffee (latte macchiato).
- the display is designed in a further kind of naturalistic, for example by showing bubbles in the milk foam, by streaks in milk or coffee, by animation of such bubbles or streaks or by slow wave-like movements in the region of the transitions, etc.
- the ad is not naturalistic but abstracted, with a uniform color per share ad and clear transitions between the equity adverts.
- FIG. 7 shows a screen with user instructions, which is subsequently displayed after the adjustment of the preparation parameters.
- One of the steps to be taken by the user is to choose a coffee capsule.
- one or more varieties of coffee capsules suitable for the initially selected formulation recipe may be displayed, optionally taking into account the preparation parameters.
- it may also be based on the preparation parameters, in particular the absolute and / or relative proportions of the partial products, in the simplest case, for example, in the case of a preparation rule, which is a relatively small amount of coffee pretends to be associated with espresso capsules.
- a user can assign one or more specific capsule types to a preparation rule according to his preference and store this assignment.
- this assigned capsule type (s) can be displayed. In a display according to FIG. 8, this can be done by visually marking and thus highlighting this type of capsule (s), for example by an added symbol and / or by a different colored background or text. Further, if the user inserts a non-preferred type of capsule when executing a preparation rule associated with such a preferred type of capsule, a warning or inquiry may be displayed.
- the portion pack 3 is provided with a machine-readable portion code 33.
- the portion code 33 represents a portion category 31 which specifies a category to which the portion pack 3 is assigned. Such categories may be different categories of beverages or products, such as "espresso", “regular coffee", “filter coffee”, “tea”, and also "cleaning capsule".
- the portion code 33 further represents a portion identity 32 to which the portion pack 3 is assigned. Such identities may represent certain individual products or varieties, such as "Arabica No. 42" or "Colombia special". Portion packs 3 with the same portion category 31 may have different portion identities 32. By means of the portion category 31, therefore, portion packs 3 or corresponding products of different identities can be grouped into categories.
- the portion code 33 may be coded by a multi-redundant coded representation, generally as an optical code, for example as a tenfold redundant optical code, for example a one- or two-dimensional barcode or a code as in the European patent applications EP 14 197 487.3 from 1.12.2014 and EP 14 197 488.1 of 1 1.12.2014 described.
- the portion code 33 includes sixteen bits, six of which serve as check bits, four for coding the portion category 31, and six for encoding the portion identity 32.
- an assignment of the portion code 33, respectively of portion categories 31 and / or portion identities 32, to respectively recommended or permitted ranges for preparation parameters may be stored. This can be checked automatically after inserting a sachet 3 on the basis of the portion code 33, whether the sachet 3 is compatible with the user-specified proportions. If this is not the case, a warning can be displayed and / or further processing of the portion pack 3 can be stopped. Alternatively, a positive message can be generated if the selected capsule is particularly well suited for the selected proportions. For example, an espresso capsule is not optimally suitable if the user has selected a quantity of coffee intended for a normal coffee.
- FIG. 9 shows a schematic diagram of an auxiliary unit 11 which is designed as a milk frother for conveying or preparing both milk and milk froth and selected connections of the auxiliary unit 11 to other units of the beverage preparation machine 1.
- "L" designates air feeds denotes a line for steam, K a line for the hot drink, R a line for cleaning water or steam (optional).
- a control 121 of the auxiliary unit 1 1 is shown here as part of the control unit 12 of the beverage preparation machine 1.
- a local control 121 ' may also be wholly or partially included as part of the milk frother device.
- tive of the auxiliary unit 1 1 be present. This alternative is shown in dashed lines in the figure.
- a milk container 1 1 1 1, a valve unit 112, a gear pump 113 and a mixing nozzle 1 14.
- the driver 121 is designed so that it can drive both the gear pump 113 and the valve unit 1 12, wherein an operating parameter the gear and / or the valve unit is adjustable.
- Such controllable operating parameters are, for example, the speed of the gear pump or an active valve cross-section of the valve unit.
- the valve unit 112 can also be arranged in another part of the beverage preparation machine 1, for example in the base unit 10.
- the gear pump 1 13 is the input side connected to a milk supply line from the milk container 11 1 and with an air supply from the valve unit 112.
- the valve unit 112 has a step-wise or continuously variable active valve cross section active valve cross-section.
- the valve unit 112 has a plurality of valve elements that can be independently opened or closed. Milk or milk foam delivered by the gear pump 13 pass into the mixing nozzle 14, where they can be mixed with air and / or steam, and from a milk foam outlet 117 into a container 2.
- the mixing nozzle Due to a small nozzle opening, through which the steam exits at high speed through the constriction 15, the mixing nozzle is thus designed such that a negative pressure is generated by the nozzle effect. It also supports milk delivery from the milk line, even if the milk is actively being pumped by the gear pump.
- the milk frother can be operated as follows:
- the gear pump 1 13 is set in motion while at least one valve element of the valve unit 112 is opened.
- a negative pressure is generated at the input side, which sucks both milk from the milk container 111 and, air through the valve unit 112.
- milk foam which is discharged through the mixing nozzle 1 14 and then through the milk foam outlet 117 into the container 2.
- suction of - generally cold - milk from the milk container 3 via the gear pump. 1 13 This promotes the milk in the mixing nozzle 114. This is fed simultaneously from the base unit 10 (coffee machine) forth via the steam connection D water vapor.
- a 3/2-way valve 118 or other means may selectively connect the valve element 112 to the gear pump 13 or the mixing nozzle chamber 116 (dashed line for air) for producing the cold or hot milk froth. It is also possible that the air supply into the mixing nozzle chamber takes place directly and not via the valve element 12, in which case the air supply in the production of warm milk foam can not be regulated by a separate means.
- auxiliary unit 11 can also only convey cold milk.
- the gear pump 1 13 is driven, but the valve elements remain closed and no steam is supplied.
- the auxiliary unit 11 can prepare warm milk.
- a closure of the valve can, for example, be provided mechanically by hand by the user.
- the milk from the milk container 3 is conveyed by the gear pump 113 and simultaneously supplied with steam in the mixing nozzle 114 without air being supplied. By mixing the cold milk with the steam, warm milk is produced, which is then released via the milk foam outlet 117.
