La Fig. 2 symbolise la synergie résultant de l'association proposée par l'invention La Fig. 3 représente un écran tactile de commande placé sous l'écran plat d'affichage d'images audio-visuelles. Fig. 2 symbolizes the synergy resulting from the combination proposed by the invention FIG. 3 shows a touch screen control placed under the flat screen for displaying audio-visual images.
Description détaillée de l'invention Detailed description of the invention
Se reportant à la Fig. 1, on voit que l'appareil selon l'invention se compose d'un four à micro-ondes 1 dont l'enveloppe, de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique, (en forme de casier), est muni d'une porte d'accès (et de fermeture) 2 constituée d'un écran plat tel qu'utilisé par les téléviseurs actuels, susceptible d'afficher des images, et muni à sa partie inférieure d'un écran tactile 7 affichant des icônes pour contrôler, par toucher, les fonctions culinaires et/ou audiovisuelles de l'appareil. Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the apparatus according to the invention consists of a microwave oven 1 whose envelope, of substantially parallelepipedal shape (in the form of a rack), is provided with an access door ( and closure) 2 consists of a flat screen as used by current TVs, capable of displaying images, and equipped at its bottom with a touch screen 7 displaying icons to control, by touch, the functions culinary and / or audiovisual equipment.
Cette porte d'accès 2 s'ouvre au moyen d'une charnière latérale ou horizontale 5, représentée ici en version latérale, au niveau de laquelle un circuit souple sert à acheminer les signaux d'affichage d'une image et les signaux de contrôle échangés entre l'appareil et la partie tactile de l'écran. Il est bien entendu que le four micro-ondes est ici muni d'une fonction récepteur multimédia fonctionnant sur câble d'antenne, de télédistribution, ou sur câble issu d'une distribution par téléphone. This access door 2 opens by means of a lateral or horizontal hinge 5, represented here in lateral version, at which a flexible circuit serves to convey the image display signals and the control signals. exchanged between the device and the touch of the screen. It is understood that the microwave oven is here provided with a multimedia receiver function operating on antenna cable, cable television, or cable from a distribution by telephone.
2880411 3 Sur le coté de la face avant du four se trouve un panneau de commande manuel 3, servant à gérer les fonctions culinaires de l'appareil, et un panneau de commande manuel 4 servant à gérer les fonctions multimédia de l'appareil, comme peut le comprendre l'homme de métier. On the side of the front face of the oven is a manual control panel 3, used to manage the cooking functions of the appliance, and a manual control panel 4 for managing the multimedia functions of the appliance, such as can understand it the skilled person.
Il est évident que lesdites fonctions peuvent être gérées, de surcroît, au moyen d'un boîtier de télécommande 10, partitionné en deux zones, chacune étant dédiée, respectivement, aux unes et aux autres desdites fonctions. Les commandes manuelles demeurent cependant nécessaires, afin d'assurer un service minimum en cas d'avarie dudit boîtier 10. It is obvious that said functions can be managed, moreover, by means of a remote control box 10, partitioned into two zones, each being dedicated, respectively, to one and the other of said functions. Manual controls are still necessary, however, to ensure a minimum service in the event of damage to the housing 10.
La porte d'accès peut être découplée de ses fonctions multimédia pour afficher des menus de commandes préenregistrés du four, permettant, par contact d'un doigt sur l'écran tactile 7, de mettre en oeuvre un ensemble de commandes mémorisées (durée de cuisson, puissance du rayonnement micro-onde, taux de récurrence du déclenchement du générateur micro-ondes), bien adapté au contenu du four, symbolisé par diverses icônes, accompagnant l'affichage du menu. The access door can be decoupled from its multimedia functions to display pre-recorded menu commands of the oven, allowing, by touching a finger on the touch screen 7, to implement a set of stored commands (cooking time , power of the microwave radiation, rate of recurrence of the trigger of the microwave generator), well adapted to the contents of the oven, symbolized by various icons, accompanying the display of the menu.
La porte d'accès peut aussi servir, au moyen de sa partie tactile, pour commander le récepteur multimédia, ce qui réduit de moitié la dimension du panneau de commande situé sur le coté de l'appareil. The access door can also be used, by means of its touch part, to control the multimedia receiver, which reduces by half the size of the control panel located on the side of the device.
L'appareil peut fonctionner en mode mixte , utilisant une camera de très faible dimension (modèle webcam) 6, ou 6', selon sa position, pour afficher sur l'écran, sur commande actionnée sur le panneau sur le four, ou sur l'écran tactile, ou sur la télécommande, 2880411 4 le contenu du four, de façon à voir l'avancement de la cuisson des mets fragiles , et à connaître la température du mets grâce à la sensibilité de la caméra dans l'infrarouge, lui permettant de jouer le rôle d'un pyromètre optique. La température est restituée sur l'écran, en incrustation sur l'image du programme audio-visuel suivi. La commande utilisée permet donc de suivre sur l'écran, l'image du mets en préparation, ainsi que sa température, ce qui assure le bon achèvement de l'opération de cuisson. The device can operate in mixed mode, using a very small camera (webcam model) 6, or 6 ', depending on its position, to display on the screen, on command operated on the panel on the oven, or on the touch screen, or on the remote control, 2880411 4 the contents of the oven, so as to see the progress of cooking fragile dishes, and to know the temperature of the food thanks to the sensitivity of the camera in the infrared, him to play the role of an optical pyrometer. The temperature is restored on the screen, inlay on the image of the audio-visual program followed. The command used therefore makes it possible to follow on the screen, the image of the food in preparation, as well as its temperature, which ensures the good completion of the cooking operation.
Le choix d'un programme préenregistré permet, de même, la gestion automatique de la cuisson, en interrompant la cuisson lorsque les paramètres objectifs ont été atteints, ce qui permet au spectateur de ne pas perdre le fil de son programme. The choice of a pre-recorded program also allows the automatic management of the cooking, interrupting the cooking when the objective parameters have been achieved, which allows the viewer not to lose the thread of his program.
Enfin, il est prévu un contrôle automatique du volume sonore du programme suivi, en fonction des cycles de mise en route/d'arrêt du générateur micro-ondes. Finally, there is provided an automatic control of the sound volume of the program followed, according to the cycles of start / stop of the microwave generator.
L'appareil peut, en outre, être muni d'un lecteur de DVD, utile si le programme reçu n'intéresse pas le consommateur. The device can also be equipped with a DVD player, useful if the program received does not interest the consumer.
