  In view of the above points, the present invention provides a convenient cooking system that does not inconvenience and inconvenience the user even when notifying the driving information to both the notification means of the cooking device and the terminal. The task is to do.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a heating cooker having a heating unit for heating an object to be cooked and first notification means for reporting operation information of the heating unit, and reports the operation information of the heating unit. A heating machine and a terminal that are communicably connectable via a communication line and operated from the heating cooker in a connected state between the heating cooker and the terminal. A cooking system in which information is transmitted to the terminal and the driving information is notified by the second notification means, and there are a plurality of notification modes when the driving information is notified by each of the first notification means and the second notification means. In what can be selected from seeds, when a terminal that has selected a predetermined notification mode is connected to a cooking device, the driving information is notified by the first notification means in the notification mode selected by the terminal. It is characterized by that.

  According to the present invention, even when the set notification mode is different between the heating cooker and the terminal, after the heating cooker and the terminal are connected via the communication line, the notification set by the terminal The notification mode of the heating cooker is changed based on the mode, and the operation information of the same notification mode is notified by both notification units. For this reason, the problem that a user is confused does not arise. And in order to alert | report driving | operation information by the same alerting | reporting aspect, operation which a user changes the alerting | reporting aspect of a heating cooker, for example is unnecessary. As a result, the user's convenience can be improved without bothering the user and inconvenience.

  By the way, depending on the user of the cooking device (for example, a child or an elderly person), cooking may be performed by directly operating the cooking device regardless of the terminal. In this case, when the previous user connects the terminal to the cooking device via the communication line, the notification mode of the cooking device remains changed to that of the previous user's terminal. For the next user who directly operates the heating cooker, it may not be said that it is a preferable notification mode. In this case, if the next user is caused to change the setting to return the notification mode of the heating cooker, there is a risk of bothering and inconvenience. Therefore, in the present invention, when the connection of the terminal that has selected the predetermined notification mode to the heating cooker is interrupted, the notification mode selected by the heating cooker is connected to the terminal before the connection. It is preferable that the operation information is notified by the first notification means by automatically returning. According to this, the setting change which returns the alerting | reporting aspect of a heating cooker to the next user can be made unnecessary, and an annoyance and inconvenience are not given.

  In addition, in this invention, it is comprised so that what can alert | report driving | operation information from a 1st alerting | reporting means and a 2nd alerting | reporting means can be selected with a terminal in the connection state of the said heating cooker and the said terminal. It is preferable. According to this, when notifying operation information in a place away from the heating cooker, or when notifying operation information in a place close to the heating cooker, from both notification means of the heating cooker and the terminal The troublesomeness of notifying the driving information can be avoided, which is advantageous.

As shown in FIG. 2, the operation panel 4 b has a plurality of instructions for giving cooking instructions according to various cooking functions such as “water heater”, “noodle bowl”, “baked food”, “stir-fried food”, and “rice cooked”. The cooking button 53 is provided. Normally, the operation panel 4b is housed in the stove body, and when the user presses the front surface of the operation panel 4b, the operation panel 4b tilts forward to expose each cooking button 53 so that it can be operated. Yes. And when any cooking button 53 is selected, the action | operation of the heating part 2 is controlled according to the program memorize | stored in the memory of the controller Sc.

  The top plate 1 is provided with display means 6a configured by a touch panel display or the like, and the stove body is configured by a speaker or the like for outputting sound from an opening 41 provided in the front panel 4a. Audio output means 6b is incorporated. And according to the instruction | command from the controller Sc, the operation method of the cooking condition etc. when controlling the operation method of the gas stove Gs and the heating part 2 of the gas stove Gs and cooking by heating is notified to a user. In the present embodiment, the display unit 6a and the audio output unit 6b constitute a first notification unit.

  As the operation information, notification can be made according to each stage before cooking, during cooking, and at the end of cooking. As before cooking, for example, confirmation guidance of the selected cooking content, operation guidance such as pressing the point fire extinguisher button 52 at the start of the selected cooking, and a preparation method corresponding to the selected cooking (recipe) are notified. The In addition, as cooking, for example, the contents of cooking that has already been performed, the remaining time until the end of cooking, and the contents of abnormality that occurred during cooking are reported. As the end of cooking, for example, the end of cooking or operation guidance for turning off the power of the gas stove Gs is notified.

  Further, the user can set a notification mode when driving information is notified via the display means 6a and the voice output means 6b. That is, for example, when the “setting” item is displayed on the initial screen of the display means 6a, and the displayed “setting” is selected, “volume”, “sound quality”, “sound output speed”, “sound type” "Setting item screen" for displaying the items "Language of sound", "Language of display", "Size of display", and "Brightness of display". When the user selects an item to be changed, for example, the setting can be changed to increase or decrease the volume. In addition, an item of “cooking guide screen” is displayed on the initial screen of the display means 6a. When the displayed “cooking guide screen” is selected, each item of “detailed”, “normal”, and “easy” is displayed. The “guide item screen” to be displayed appears. When the user selects an item to be changed, for example, a cooking button 53 such as “stir-fried cooking” is selected, so that the controller Sc prepares the preparation corresponding to cooking via the display means 6a and the audio output means 6b. When a method or the like is output and displayed as a sound, it is possible to make a setting change such as informing in detail or simplifying and informing a user familiar with cooking.

  Furthermore, an item of “cooking function setting” is displayed on the initial screen of the display means 6a, and when this displayed “cooking function setting” is selected, “noodle bowl function” when boiling pasta and udon, grilled fish and A “function selection screen” is displayed for displaying each item of “baking cooking function” when baking toast and “cooking function” when cooking rice. When the user selects an item to be changed, for example, for the “noodle bowl function” and “rice cooking function”, “Katai”, “Slightly”, “Normal”, “Slightly soft”, “Ya” You can change the setting of "Unknown". When the cooking button 53 corresponding to this function is selected, the operation of the heating unit 2 is controlled according to the function whose setting has been changed.

  When cooking by directly operating the gas stove Gs, for example, when the user selects any of the cooking buttons 53 on the operation panel 4b according to cooking to be performed using the gas stove Gs with the power switch 51 turned on. The controller Sc causes the display means 6a and the sound output means 6b to notify the confirmation guide of the selected cooking content and the preparation method corresponding to the selected cooking (recipe). Next, for example, when the prepared fired cooking container is set to the five virtues 21 and then the fire extinguishing button 52 is operated, cooking is automatically started. During cooking, the controller Sc controls the operation of the heating unit 2 according to the temperature of the cooking container measured by the pan bottom sensor 22 and the selected cooking content. In addition to this, during cooking, the operation information as described above is appropriately notified through the display means 6a and the sound output means 6b. Then, after cooking is completed, the user is informed that cooking has ended via the display means 6a and the audio output means 6b. In addition, since the gas stove Gs itself can use a well-known thing, the further description including the control regarding the structure, automatic cooking, etc. is abbreviate | omitted.

  On the other hand, the terminal Pt is a known device such as a tablet or a smartphone owned by the user of the gas stove Gs, and can communicate with each other by connecting to the control controller Sc of the gas stove Gs via the communication line Cl. . For example, the terminal Pt is accessed by a management server device (web server) (not shown) operated by a business operator via an Internet line, for example, and a command related to cooking according to the user's request is transmitted to the control controller Sc. In addition, application software for informing operation information of the gas stove Gs transmitted from the controller Sc can be downloaded and stored in advance. When the application software is activated on the terminal Pt, a predetermined operation / operation information screen is displayed on the touch panel display Pd of the terminal Pt. In order to connect the terminal Pt to the control controller Sc of the gas stove Gs via the communication line Cl, the terminal Pt and the control controller Sc are once communicated, and the connection permission is pre-registered with the control controller Sc. It is necessary to keep it. That is, an item “terminal connection setting” is displayed on the information screen of the terminal Pt. After the communication with the control controller Sc is made possible via the communication line Cl, the displayed “terminal connection setting” is displayed. ”Is pre-registered for permission to connect the terminal Pt to the control controller Sc. A plurality of terminals Pt corresponding to the number of users can be registered in the controller Sc.

  As the communication line Cl, infrared communication, Bluetooth (registered trademark), Wi-Fi, or the like, which is a near field communication standard, can be used. The cooking instructions that can be selected on the information screen at the terminal Pt correspond to the cooking buttons 53 of the gas stove Gs described above. Further, in addition to displaying the driving information on the touch panel display Pd of the terminal Pt, the driving information can be output as a voice from the speaker Ps built in the terminal Pt. In this case, the touch panel display Pd and the speaker Ps of the terminal Pt constitute a second notification unit. In the terminal Pt, as with the gas stove Gs, it is possible to set a notification mode when operating information is notified. That is, “volume”, “sound quality”, “sound output speed”, “sound type”, “sound language”, “display language”, “display size”, “ Items such as `` brightness of display '', items such as `` details '', `` normal '', `` easy '' when cooking guides, `` hard '', `` slightly '', `` Items such as "Normal", "Slightly soft", "Yawakame".

  By the way, when the operation information is notified by the display means 6a and the sound output means 6b of the gas stove Gs, and the touch panel display Pd and the speaker Ps of the terminal Pt, the notification means are different, so that the display means 6a of the gas stove Gs. If the operation information of different notification modes is notified by the voice output means 6b, the touch panel display Pd and the speaker Ps of the terminal Pt, the user may be confused at the time of cooking. Damaged. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the terminal Pt that has been pre-registered in the control controller Sc and has a notification mode set when notifying operation information is connected to the gas stove Gs via the communication line Cl, the control controller Sc The driving information is notified via the display means 6a and the voice output means 6b in the notification mode selected by the terminal Pt. Then, the application software is stopped at the terminal Pt or the power switch 51 of the gas stove Gs is turned off, so that the connection of the gas stove Gs of the terminal Pt that has selected a predetermined notification mode to the control controller Sc is established. When the terminal Pt is disconnected, the notification mode selected by the controller Sc is automatically restored before the terminal Pt is connected, and the operation information is notified by the gas stove Gs display means 6a and the sound output means 6b. Configured. Below, with reference also to FIG. 3, the example of the automatic cooking using the heat cooking system CS is demonstrated concretely.

  First, the power switch 51 of the gas stove Gs is turned on to bring the gas stove Gs into an operating state, and the application software is started by operating the terminal Pt (STEP 1). As a result, the terminal Pt is connected to the control controller Sc of the gas stove Gs via the communication line Cl and is in a state in which mutual communication is possible (STEP 2). At this time, the controller Sc is changed to notify the operation information via the display means 6a and the sound output means 6b of the gas stove Gs in the notification mode selected by the terminal Pt (STEP 3). In this case, on the information screen of the terminal Pt, the gas stove Gs display means 6a and sound output means 6b, and the touch panel display Pd and speaker Ps of the terminal Pt can be selected from those capable of reporting driving information. ing. When various “cooking functions” are set in the terminal Pt, the cooking function when the controller Sc controls the operation of the heating unit 2 is also changed accordingly.

  Next, when the user selects a predetermined cooking on the information screen in accordance with the cooking to be performed using the gas stove Gs at the terminal Pt, the selected cooking is transmitted to the control controller Sc. Thereafter, cooking is performed in the same order as in the case of cooking by directly operating the gas stove Gs described above (STEP 4). When the connection of the gas stove Gs of the terminal Pt to the control controller Sc is interrupted after cooking is completed (STEP 5), the control controller Sc is in a notification mode selected by the controller Sc before the connection of the terminal Pt. Automatic return (STEP 6). Then, it is determined whether or not the same or another terminal Pt is connected to the control controller Sc (STEP 7). If there is no connection, the power source of the gas stove Gs is automatically turned off.

  By the way, in the gas stove Gs, in order to save power, a timer is provided, and a function of automatically turning off the power when the gas stove Gs is not operated until a predetermined time elapses after cooking is completed. There is something that I have. In this case, when the terminal Pt is connected to the control controller Sc of the gas stove Gs via the communication line Cl and can communicate with each other, the power of the gas stove Gs is automatically turned off. Is bad. Therefore, it is preferable that the controller Sc is configured not to turn off the gas stove Gs while the terminal Pt is connected via the communication line Cl. Further, as described above, the terminal Pt and the control controller Sc of the gas stove Gs are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other, and while the predetermined cooking on the information screen is selected and the automatic cooking is being performed, the terminal for some reason When the connection between the machine Pt and the control controller Sc is interrupted, the controller Sc operates the heating unit 2 according to the cooking function set in the terminal Pt unless automatic cooking is stopped by the user's intention. It is preferable to continue the control. At this time, the fact that the connection between the terminal Pt and the control controller Sc is cut off is reported as operation information by the display means 6a and the sound output means 6b of the gas stove Gs and the touch panel display Pd and the speaker Ps of the terminal Pt. It may be.

  According to the above embodiment, even if the set notification mode is different between the gas stove Gs and the terminal Pt, after the gas stove Gs and the terminal Pt are connected, the notification mode set by the terminal Pt is changed. As a reference, the notification mode of the gas stove Gs is set and changed, and the operation information of the same notification mode is notified by the display means 6a and the sound output means 6b of the gas stove Gs and the touch panel display Pd and the speaker Ps of the terminal Pt, respectively. . For this reason, the problem that a user is confused does not arise. And in order to alert | report driving | operation information by the same alerting | reporting aspect, operation which a user changes the alerting | reporting aspect of gas stove Gs is unnecessary, for example. As a result, the user's convenience can be improved without bothering the user and inconvenience. And when the connection of the terminal Pt to the gas stove Gs is interrupted, the next user can use the heating cooker to automatically return to the notification mode selected by the gas stove Gs before the connection of the terminal Pt. It is possible to eliminate the need to change the setting for returning the notification mode, and there is no inconvenience or inconvenience. Moreover, since the terminal Pt can select which of the display means 6a and the sound output means 6b of the gas stove Gs, and the touch panel display Pd and the speaker Ps of the terminal Pt, the operation information is to be notified, the place away from the gas stove Gs When the operation information is notified at or near to the gas stove Gs, the operation information is obtained from the first notification means 6a, 6b of the gas stove Gs and the second notification means Pd, Ps of the terminal Pt. This is advantageous because it can avoid the bothersomeness of being notified. In addition, since a plurality of terminals Pt corresponding to the number of users can be registered in the control controller Sc, the setting is changed temporarily (in use) to the preference of each user who owns the terminals Pt. It is possible to improve convenience for each user.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said thing, In the range which does not deviate from the scope of the present invention, it can change suitably. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the heating cooker is described as the gas stove Gs.
