  The heating control unit 13 includes an inside heating data generation unit 17 that generates inside heating data, and a driving unit 18 that drives the heating unit 14. The inside heating data generation unit 17 includes an identification information acquisition unit 15. The internal heating data is generated on the basis of the position and the orientation of the identification unit acquired by the above and the temperature distribution data acquired by the temperature distribution data acquisition unit. The driving unit 18 drives the heating unit 14 based on the in-compartment heating data generated by the in-compartment heating data generation unit 17 to make the temperature of the food in the storage 11 equal to the in-compartment heating data.

  The server 20 stores the identification information receiving unit 21 that receives the identification information 26 from the heating and cooking apparatus 10 via the network 30, and a storage unit that stores the temperature distribution information 25 that is the correspondence between the identification information 26 and the temperature distribution data 27. 22. A temperature distribution data extraction unit 23 for extracting temperature distribution data 27 associated with the identification information 26 received by the identification information reception unit 21 from the temperature distribution information 25 stored in the storage unit 22 and temperature distribution data extraction And a temperature distribution data transmission unit 24 that transmits the temperature distribution data 27 extracted by the unit 23 to the heating and cooking apparatus 10 via the network 30. The temperature distribution data 27 is data on the temperature at which the food at each relative position in the container with respect to the position of the identification information 26 should be heated.

  As the heating and cooking apparatus 10, heating of the food in the storage 11 by microwave heating, heating the food in the storage 11 by an electric heater such as a halogen heater or IH heating (induction heating) is performed. It is possible to use a heating and cooking apparatus such as a gas oven which heats the food in the storage 11 by an electric oven to be used and a gas heating apparatus such as heat of combustion of gas.

  In the case where the heating and cooking apparatus 10 is an electric oven or a gas oven, the heat resistant glass is used as a container for containing food in order to prevent damage to the container for containing the food in the container 11 by the heat in the container 11 of the heating and cooking apparatus 10. It is desirable to use a heat resistant container such as pottery.

  The heating unit 14 is capable of selectively heating the food at each location in the storage 11.

  For example, a QR code (registered trademark) can be used as an identification unit provided in a container for food. When a QR code is used as the identification unit, the identification information acquisition unit 15 can be realized by an imaging device (see FIG. 3) that captures the QR code and a decoding process of the QR code (a process executed by a CPU (not shown)) . The QR code has finder patterns at its three corners, and in the process of decoding the QR code, the position and orientation of the QR code can be acquired by detecting the finder pattern from the image obtained by capturing the QR code. it can. The QR code is printed by encoding the identification information 26. In the process of decoding the QR code, the identification information 26, which is information encoded in the QR code specified by the finder pattern, is decoded and acquired.

  The identification portion provided in the container of the food is not limited to the QR code, and may be another code obtained by encoding the identification information 26. The identification unit may directly print the identification information 26 not encoded. In this case, if the identification information 26 is a character, the direction of the character may be the orientation of the identification unit.

  Moreover, as an identification part provided in the container of a foodstuff, what encoded the identification information 26 by magnetism may be used, and a magnetic sensor (not shown) can be used as the identification information acquisition part 15 in this case. A magnetic arrangement can be used as the orientation of the identification unit.

  Further, the food to be cooked may be of any temperature such as freezing, refrigeration or normal temperature, or may be heated to some extent as a preparation.

  According to the heating and cooking system shown in FIG. 1, the identification information acquisition unit 15 acquires the position and orientation of the identification unit of the container housed in the storage 11 and acquires the identification information 26 of the identification unit, Based on the temperature distribution data 27 received by the position and orientation of the identification unit acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 15 and the temperature distribution data reception unit 12 by the drive unit 18 of the temperature of the food in the storage 11 Since the temperature is indicated by the heating data in the storage unit generated by the unit 17, the user is aware of the arrangement of the lunch box in the storage 11 of the heating and cooking apparatus 10 by considering the orientation of the identification unit by the heating and cooking system. If not, it is possible to provide a cooking system in which the food in the lunch box is heated to a predetermined temperature.

  The heating and cooking apparatus according to the present invention may have the configuration of the server 20 in the heating and cooking apparatus 10. In this case, the heating control unit 13 corresponds to the identification information 26 and the temperature distribution data 27 which is data on the temperature at which the food at each position in the container is a relative position to the position of the identification unit. The temperature distribution data acquisition unit (not shown) acquires temperature distribution data 27 associated with the identification information 26 acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 15 in the temperature distribution information 25 using certain temperature distribution information 25.

  However, the server 20 is different from the heating and cooking apparatus 10, and the plurality of heating and cooking apparatuses 10 transmit and receive to and from one server 20 to acquire temperature distribution data, thereby maintaining identification information and temperature distribution data (additional , Maintenance) can be made efficient only by changing the server 20).

The floor 106 is a flat floor having no turntable, and a plurality of (20 in FIG. 4) microwave output devices 106 a are disposed under the floor 106. Each of the plurality of microwave output devices 106 a outputs microwaves immediately above to heat the food immediately above. The plurality of microwave output devices 106 a function as the heating unit 14 shown in FIG. 1.

  The in-chamber heating data generation unit 17 generates in-chamber heating data based on the position and orientation of the QR code obtained from the image captured by the imaging device 105 a and the temperature distribution data 27 received by the temperature distribution data receiving unit 12. The drive unit 18 drives each of the plurality of microwave output devices 106 a for a predetermined time based on the in-chamber heating data generated by the in-chamber heating data generation unit 17 (or by driving with an output of a predetermined height) ), The temperature of the food in the container is brought to the temperature indicated by the in-chamber heating data.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of a QR code as an identification unit and temperature distribution data 27 in Example 1, where (a) is a plan view showing a container containing food, and (b) is a temperature It is a figure which shows the example of the heat map image as the distribution data 27, and (c) is a figure shown by superimposing (a) and (b) by matching the position and direction of QR Code.

  Food 121, food 122, food 123 and food 124 are contained in a container 120 shown in FIG. 5A, and a transparent lid of the container 120 describes a QR code 130 as an identification unit.

  As the temperature distribution data 27 shown in FIG. 5B, the infrared thermographic image 140 of the food in a heated state to be applied by the microwave oven 100 can be used. The infrared thermography image 140 may use an infrared thermography image obtained by shooting an infrared ray of food heated to an appropriate temperature, or an image created by painting a predetermined portion with a color indicating a predetermined temperature using an image editing software or the like. May be used. In the storage unit 25 of the server 20, the infrared thermographic image 140 as the temperature distribution data 27 obtained in advance, and the identification information 26 encoded in the QR code 130 as the identification unit assigned to the infrared thermographic image 140 The correlation is stored in advance as temperature distribution information 25.

  The in-chamber heating data generation unit 17 generates a plurality of microwave output devices 106 a according to the color (color corresponding to the temperature) of each portion in the infrared thermography image 140 which is the temperature distribution data 27 and the position and orientation of the QR code 130. The in-chamber heating data, which is data of which to drive, is generated, and the driving unit 18 drives each of the microwave output devices 106 a provided for heating at each location based on the in-chamber heating data. Heat the food. Further, the imaging device 105a shown in FIG. 3 is an element capable of performing infrared imaging, and based on the infrared imaging image by the imaging device 105a, it is possible to obtain an infrared thermographic image which is displayed with different colors for different temperatures. The interior heating data generation unit 17 captures the inside of the storage 104 with the image pickup element 105 a each time during heating, obtains the current infrared thermographic image, and generates an infrared thermographic image 140 which is temperature distribution data 27. In comparison, the heating data in the cold storage is updated, and the driving unit 18 updates the driving and stopping of each microwave output device 106 a using the updated heating data in the cold storage, and the current infrared thermography image and the temperature distribution When the degree of coincidence with the infrared thermographic image 140 which is the data 27 falls within a predetermined range, all the microwave output devices 106a are stopped, and the user is notified (completion of heating and cooking) in the operation unit 107 Notice.

  As the temperature distribution data 27, a heat map image indicating the temperature of each portion may be used as in the infrared thermography image, or the temperature after heating to be applied by the microwave oven 100 of each portion is held as numerical data It may be one. In this case, the relationship between the position and orientation of the identification unit and the numerical data may be stored in the form of a table in association with the coordinates of the position in consideration of the orientation and the numerical data. Specifically, the position of the identification unit is set as coordinates (0, 0) with the origin, the direction of the identification unit is taken into consideration, the predetermined upright direction of the identification unit is the y axis, and the direction perpendicular to the upright direction is x As an axis, the relative position to the position of the identification unit is represented by coordinates (x, y). For example, coordinates (0, 0) may correspond to temperature of 50 ° C. A range enclosed by multiple coordinates, for example, an area enclosed by coordinates (0, 0), (0, 10), (20, 15), (30, 40) and (0, 20) is 70 ° C. The region may be associated with the temperature.

  When the temperature after heating to be applied by the microwave oven 100 at each location is held as numerical data, the in-chamber heating data generation unit 17 determines the temperature distribution data 27 based on the numerical data of the temperature at each location. The infrared thermography image is created, and during the heating, the inside of the storage room 104 is photographed with the imaging element 105 a each time to obtain the present infrared thermography image, and the infrared thermography created by the heating data generation unit 17 in the storage room The completion of the heating and cooking is detected in comparison with the image (an infrared thermographic image corresponding to the numerical data of the temperature of each portion which is the temperature distribution data 27).

  In the infrared thermography image 140 which is the temperature distribution data 27 shown in FIG. 5B, the image 141 corresponding to the food 121 and the food 122 are referred to the position and the direction of the QR code 150 corresponding to the QR code 130 of the container 120. The image 142 corresponding to the image 142, the image 143 corresponding to the food 123, and the image 144 corresponding to the food 124 are arranged, and the position and the orientation of the QR code 130 and the QR code 150 are aligned as shown in FIG. Then, the food 121 and the image 141 match, the food 122 and the image 142 match, the food 123 and the image 143 match, and the food 124 and the image 144 match. Thereby, even when the user arranges the container 120 in any orientation in the storage unit 104, it is possible to heat the food based on the infrared thermographic image 140 as the temperature distribution data 27.

  In addition, the heating data in the storage generated by the heating data generation unit in the storage 17 determines which one of the plurality of microwave output devices 106 a is to be driven based on the position and orientation of the temperature distribution data 27 and the QR code 130. Since the data to be shown, that is, the data that defines what temperature in the storage 104 is to be, how the temperature is set in the storage 104, the microwave output device 106a corresponding to the container 120 is placed in any orientation in the storage 104 Can be driven, and each of the food products 121, 122, 123 and 124 in the container 120 can be heated to the temperature as indicated by the temperature distribution data 27.

  The infrared thermographic image 140 may have the QR code 150 or may not have the QR code 150, but may have a position and an orientation corresponding to the position and the orientation of the QR code 130.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration has been described in which the surface temperature when the food is viewed from above is compared with the temperature distribution data 27 by the imaging device 105a provided on the ceiling 105, but the present invention is limited to this Instead, the temperature of the food in the storage unit 104 may be measured from the side or the bottom, or the internal temperature may be measured without contact. In this case, the temperature distribution data 27 can be data indicating the temperatures to be heated corresponding to the respective points.

  By using numerical data as the temperature distribution data 27, it is only necessary to input a numerical value such as 50 ° C., and the temperature distribution data 27 can be easily registered in the temperature distribution information 25.

  By using a heat map as the temperature distribution data 27, it is possible to see at a glance the temperature balance of the food after heating, and it is also possible to easily confirm that the temperature setting is reasonable.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the microwave oven 100 in the first embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the server 20 in the first embodiment.

  As described above, the temperature distribution information 25 is stored in advance in the storage unit 22 of the server 20. For example, when a new product of the frozen lunch is provided, the identification information 26 for the frozen lunch and the temperature distribution data 27 are associated, stored in the storage unit 22 as the temperature distribution information 25, and registered for the frozen lunch I do.

  When the user uses the microwave oven 100 to heat the freezer lunch box registered in the server 20, the freezer lunch box is accommodated in the storage unit 104 of the microwave oven 100, and the door 103 is closed to operate the operation unit 107. To input the start of heating (for example, pressing the heating start button). In the microwave oven 100 that has received this, the inside of the storage unit 104 is photographed by the imaging device 105a, the QR code 130 is detected from the photographed image by the decoding process of the QR code, and the position and orientation of the QR code 130 are acquired The identification information 26 encoded in the QR code 130 is acquired by decoding (decoding) the QR code 130 (by the identification information acquiring unit 15. Step S201).

  If the QR code 130 can not be detected in the captured image by the imaging device 105a (in the case of heating of the food not attached with the QR code), predetermined heating is performed (note that heating is not performed). , An error may be displayed on the operation unit 107). For example, as predetermined heating, the plurality of microwave output devices 106a are operated by the driving unit 18 to warm the entire food to a uniform temperature (for example, 70 ° C.). Even when the QR code 130 can not be detected in the captured image by the imaging element 105a, the position of the food is detected from the captured image, and the drive unit 18 detects the position of the plurality of microwave output devices 106a. Alternatively, only the microwave output device 106a associated with the position of the food may be operated.

  Subsequently, the microwave oven 100 causes the identification information transmission unit 16 to transmit the identification information 26 acquired in step S201 to the server 20 via the network 30 (step S202). In the server 20, the identification information receiving unit 21 receives the identification information 26 transmitted by the microwave 100 in step S202 (step S301).

  In the server 20, the temperature distribution data extraction unit 23 extracts the temperature distribution data 27 associated with the identification information 26 received in step S301 from the temperature distribution information 25 stored in the storage unit 22 (step S302). .

  Subsequently, in the server 20, the temperature distribution data transmission unit 24 transmits the temperature distribution data 27 extracted in step S302 to the microwave oven 100 via the network 30 (step S303). In the microwave oven 100, the temperature distribution data receiving unit 12 receives the temperature distribution data 27 transmitted by the server 20 in step S303 (step S203).

  When the temperature distribution data 27 associated with the identification information 26 received in step S301 is not in the temperature distribution information 25 stored in the storage unit 22 in step S302, the server 20 determines the corresponding temperature distribution. Information to the effect that data 27 is not registered is transmitted to microwave oven 100 via network 30. In the microwave oven 100 that has received the information indicating that the corresponding temperature distribution data 27 is not registered, the same process as in the case where the QR code 130 can not be detected in the image captured by the imaging device 105 a is performed.

  The case where the QR code 130 could not be detected in the photographed image by the imaging device 105a, and the temperature distribution data 27 corresponding to the identification information 26 of the QR code 130 detected by the microwave 100 were not registered in the storage unit 27 The processing may be different depending on the case. When a plurality of servers 20 are prepared, and temperature distribution data 27 corresponding to identification information 26 of QR code 130 detected by microwave oven 100 in one server 20 is not registered in storage unit 27, the temperature in another server 20 The distribution data 27 may be inquired. Priorities may be determined by the plurality of servers 20, and the temperature distribution data 27 may be inquired in order from the server 20 with the highest priority to the lower server.

  The microwave oven 100 applies the position and orientation of the QR code 130 acquired in step S201 to the temperature distribution data 27 received in step S203, and generates the in-chamber heating data by the in-chamber heating data generation unit 17 (step S204) ).

  In the microwave oven 100, the heating unit 14 is driven by the drive unit 18 based on the in-chamber heating data generated by the in-chamber heating data generation unit 17 in step S204 to heat the freezer lunch in the chamber 104 (step S205) If it is completed, the user is notified of it (completion of heating and cooking) in the operation unit 107.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of containers can be simultaneously accommodated in the container 104, and each can be heated to a predetermined temperature. FIG. 8 is a plan view showing an example in which two containers are accommodated in the cabinet 104. As shown in FIG.

  The identification information acquisition unit 15 of the microwave 100 can acquire a plurality of pieces of identification information 26 and perform the above-described processing on each of them. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, two containers, container 120a and container 120b, are placed on the floor 106 in the storage unit 104, the QR code 130a is described on the container 120a, and the QR code 130b is described on the container 120b. In this case, the position and orientation of each of the QR codes 130a and 130b and the identification information 26 are acquired from the captured image captured by the imaging element 105a by the analysis process of the QR code. The microwave oven 100 transmits the identification information 26 of the QR codes 130a and 130b to the server 20 so that the server 20 transmits the infrared thermographic image 140a which is the temperature distribution data 27 for the container 120a and the temperature distribution data 27 for the container 120b. An infrared thermography image 140b is received.

  In the infrared thermography image 140a, the thermography image corresponding to each food is arranged on the basis of the position and the direction of the QR code 150a corresponding to the QR code 130a of the container 120a, and in the infrared thermography image 140b, the container 120b is The thermography image corresponding to each food is arrange | positioned on the basis of the position and direction of QR Code 150b corresponding to QR Code 130b. According to the microwave oven 100, by aligning the position and orientation of the QR code 130a with the QR code 150a and aligning the position and orientation of the QR code 130b with the QR code 150b, the food and container 120b contained in the container 120a Both of the contained food can be heated properly at the same time.

  Further, the in-chamber heating data generation unit 17 generates in-chamber heating data based on both the infrared thermographic image 140a and the infrared thermographic image 140b. The heating data in the storage is data that defines what temperature in the storage 104 is to be, and even when a plurality of containers are disposed in the storage 104, the microwave output device 106a corresponding thereto is It is possible to drive and heat each of the food in the container 120a and the food in the container 120b to the temperature as indicated by the temperature distribution data 27.

  In the first embodiment, the temperature distribution data 27 is stored in the server 20. However, in the second embodiment, the temperature distribution data 27 is stored in the microwave oven 100, and the microwave oven 100 is connected to the network 30. Do not cook food in a stand-alone environment.

  In the second embodiment, the heating control unit 13 of the microwave oven 100 includes a temperature distribution data acquisition unit (not shown). The temperature distribution data acquisition unit includes identification information 26 and temperature distribution data 27 which is data on the temperature at which the food at each position in the container, which is a relative position to the position of the QR code 130 as the identification unit, should be heated. The temperature distribution data 27 associated with the identification information 26 acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 15 in the temperature distribution information 25 is acquired using the temperature distribution information 25 that is the correspondence relationship of. The internal heating data generation unit 17 generates internal heating data based on the position and orientation of the identification unit acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 15 and the temperature distribution data 27 acquired by the temperature distribution data acquisition unit. According to the second embodiment, even in an environment where connection to the network 30 is impossible, the microwave oven 100 can perform appropriate heating for each food.

  In the embodiment described above, an apparatus for heating food in the refrigerator as the heating and cooking apparatus has been described. However, the present invention is applicable to all kinds of heating other than food, such as heating of a handwarmer and heating for sterilization of baby bottles and the like It is needless to say that the present invention is also applicable to a heating device.
