  Further, in the heating cooker 1 to which the text data has been sent, the heating control unit 51 reads all the information corresponding to the menu of the "hamburger" from the menu all information storage unit 43 in response to the text data, When the user operates the start instructing means 33 or when the user U instructs the voice input / output unit 2 to start the cooking, the menu of "Hamburg" is set, and the heating condition according to the menu is It waits so that the heating cooking which controlled the range heating means 47 and the heater heating means 48 can be started by a procedure. Therefore, the user U can perform setting of a desired menu by voice dialogue using the familiar voice input / output unit 2 without touching the item selection means 32 of the heating cooker 1 one by one.

  Such setting of a specific menu for the heating cooker 1 and voice instructions such as the start of cooking can be made anywhere in the plurality of voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 connected to the Wi-Fi router 21 in the home H It is. The user U is not limited to a specific one, for example, the voice input / output unit 2-1, and any voice input / output unit 2-1, 2-2 that can be connected to the Internet 24 via the Internet 24 by voice input from there. Then, it becomes possible to operate the heating cooker 1 without touching the operation panel unit 29 with the finger, and the heating control by the heating control unit 51 is realized, and the food in the cooking chamber 27 is automatically made. It can be cooked.

  As described above, in the heating cooker system of the present embodiment, the voice cooker 1 having the voice input / output unit 2 and the heating control unit 51 is separated, and the voice input / output unit 2 sharing the access point 3 A voice recognition unit that can be installed at different places within a range in which the heating cooker 1 can communicate with the access point 3, and recognizes voice input data from the voice input / output unit 2 15 and the voice control unit 16 for sending control data to the voice input / output unit 2 or the heating cooker 1 based on the recognition result by the voice recognition unit 15 on the cloud 4, and The heating control unit 51 of the heating cooker 1 is connected to the voice recognition unit 15 and the voice control unit 16 via the Internet 24 serving as a network.

  In this case, the user U can install the voice input / output unit 2 at a favorite place different from the heating cooker 1 without depending on the heating cooker 1. The voice recognition unit 15 and the voice control unit 16 are also installed on the cloud 4 instead of the heating cooker 1, and the heating control unit 52 provided in the voice input / output unit 2 and the heating cooker 1 via the Internet 24. Thus, it is possible to exchange various data such as voice input data and control data. Therefore, it is possible to provide a heating cooker system that enables voice dialogue regarding the heating cooker 1 even if the user U is not in the vicinity of the heating cooker 1 while simplifying the configuration of the heating cooker 1.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of voice input / output units 2-1, 2-2 can be connected to the Internet 24 via the Wi-Fi router 21 in common, and any voice input / output unit 2-1, 2-2 Even if the control data sent from the voice control unit 16, the heating control data to the heating control unit 51 mounted on the heating cooker 1 enables the operation of the heating cooker 1 to be possible, The configuration of the control unit 16 is devised.

  In this case, it is not limited to, for example, a specific voice input / output unit 2-1, and any voice input / output unit 2-1 or 2-2 that can be connected to the Internet 24 can receive the voice input / output unit 2- By the voice input to 1, 2-2, the operation to the heating cooker 1 via the Internet 24 and thus the heating control by the heating control unit 51 can be realized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, among the plurality of voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2, the voice response is an answer by voice output data as control data transmitted from the voice control unit 16, for example The configuration of the voice control unit 16 is devised so as to be only the voice input / output unit 2-1.

  That is, since a voice answer is made from the voice input / output unit 2-1 only to a specific, for example, the voice input / output unit 2-1 to which the user U inputs a voice, the user U does not use another It is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the voice is unexpectedly output from the voice input / output unit 2-2.

  Next, voice notification after the start of cooking will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. In each of these figures, two voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 are connected to the Wi-Fi router 21 together with the heating cooker 1-1 serving as one oven range in the home H. It shows the state.

  In FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, when the heating cooker 1-1 starts cooking on the food to be cooked, text data as progress status data representing the progress of cooking is provided from the heating control unit 51 at a predetermined timing. , Sent to the server 5 via the Internet 24. The device association total information storage unit 62 also predetermines other association information for determining to which voice input / output unit 2 the voice response data is to be sent when the progress status data is received from which cooking device 1 The voice control unit 16 reads the association information corresponding to the identifier from the device association total information storage unit 62 from the identifier unique to the heating cooker 1 included in the progress status data, and the voice control unit 16 It is determined to which voice input / output unit 2 voice response data notifying the progress status is to be sent.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the voice control unit 16-1 for the microwave oven receives the progress status data from the heating cooker 1-1, and the same home as the heating cooker 1-1 is received. Voice response data is sent to all voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 in H via the Internet 24. Thus, for example, an announcement A2 indicating the progress of cooking by heating such as "during heating is the remaining time OO minutes" is simultaneously notified from the voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 through the speaker 12. Be done. That is, in this example, when progress status data is received from the heating cooker 1-1 of a certain home H, the announcement A2 is simultaneously notified from a plurality of voice input / output units 2-1, 2-2 in the same home H The association information as described above is stored in advance in the device association total information storage unit 62, and the progress of the heating cooker 1 regardless of which voice input / output unit 2-1, 2-2 the user U is near Can grasp the situation properly.

  Instead, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the voice control unit 16-1 receives the progress status data from the heating cooker 1-1, a specific voice is generated in the same home H as the heating cooker 1-1. Voice response data may be sent via the Internet 24 only to the input / output unit 2-1. As a result, an announcement A3 indicating the end of cooking, such as "Heating finished" is notified from the specific voice input / output unit 2-1, for example, through the speaker 12, and the other voice input / output unit 2-2 From this, it is possible to prevent notification. In this example, when progress status data is received from the heating cooker 1-1 of a certain home H, the association is such that the announcement A3 is notified only from a specific voice input / output unit 2-1 in the same home H The information is stored in advance in the device association total information storage unit 62, and the situation of the heating cooker can be properly grasped without causing voice output from all the voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 in vain. it can.

  In addition, announcement A2 showing progress progress of cooking is notified only from a specific voice input / output unit 2-1, and announcement A3 showing the end of cooking is a plurality of voice input / output units 2-1, 2 It may be made to notify simultaneously from -2. In this case, even if the progress status data from the same heating cooker 1 is the association information that can be switched to which voice input / output unit 2 according to the content of the progress status data, all the device association It may be stored and held in the information storage unit 62. Furthermore, the configuration of the association stored in the device association total information storage unit 62 can be appropriately rewritten and updated by the operation from the operation panel unit 29 of the heating cooker 1 or the voice input to the voice input / output unit 2 The user U can change which heating / cooking device 1 sends the heating control data and / or which voice input / output unit 2 sends the voice output data to any time as needed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, as to the state of cooking by the heating control unit 51 of the heating cooker 1, the user U gives voice to the voice input / output unit 2-1 message information M2 such as “Progress status?” If you ask for the message information M2, the voice control unit 16-1 takes in the progress status data from the heating cooker 1, and only the voice input / output unit 2-1 to which voice is input, the Internet 24 The voice response data is sent out based on the progress status data via the voice input / output unit 2--for example, an announcement A4 representing the progress of the heating cooking such as "Heating time is the remaining time ○ minutes". The notification may be made through one of the speakers 12. The notification at this time may be, for example, the announcement A3 representing the end of the above-described heating and cooking, or may be performed in addition to the announcements A2 and A3 as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the information on the progress and completion of cooking by the heating control unit 51 of the heating cooker 1-1 is, for example, an announcement A2 such as "During heating is the remaining time ○ minutes." And, with the announcement A3 such as “Heating is finished.”, The configuration of the voice control unit 16-1 is devised so that voices are simultaneously output from the plurality of voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2. .

  In this case, the information on the progress and completion of the heating and cooking performed by the heating control unit 51 by the heating control unit 51 is simultaneously made from all the voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 connected to the Internet 24. The voice control unit 16-1 sends voice response data to the voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 so that the user U outputs voice response data. Even if nearby, the situation of the heating cooker 1 can be properly grasped.

  Further, in the present embodiment, information on the progress and completion of cooking by the heating control unit 51 of the heating cooker 1-1 is designated in advance among the plurality of voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2. For example, the voice is output from the voice input / output unit 2-1 only, for example, an announcement A2 such as "Heating is remaining time ○ minutes" or an announcement A3 such as "Heating is finished." The configuration of the control unit 16-1 is devised.

  In this case, with regard to the information on the progress and completion of the heating and cooking performed by the heating control unit 51 in the heating and cooking apparatus 1-1, among all the voice input and output units 2-1 and 2-2 connected to the Internet 24. Then, the voice control unit 16-1 sends voice response data to the voice input / output unit 2-1 so that the voice output is performed only from the voice input / output unit 2-1 designated by the user U in advance, for example. The user U can appropriately grasp the situation of the heating cooker 1 without causing voice output from the voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 in vain.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the user U asks the voice input / output unit 2-1 by voice, for example, about the state of heating and cooking in the heating control unit 51 of the heating cooker 1-1, the voice in which the voice is input From the input / output unit 2-1, for example, the voice cooking status is answered by voice in an announcement A4 such as "Heating is the remaining time ○ minutes." Or an announcement A3 such as "Heating is finished." Thus, the configuration of the voice control unit 16-1 is devised.

  In this case, regarding the state of the heating and cooking performed by the heating control unit 51 in the heating and cooking apparatus 1-1, the voice input and output is performed only to the specific, for example, the voice input and output unit 2-1 Since the answer by voice is performed from the unit 2-1, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the cooking status is unexpectedly output by voice from another voice input / output unit 2-2 not used by the user U.

  Next, a setting procedure of the menu in the case where the plurality of heating cookers 1 are connected to the access point 3 in the home H will be described based on FIGS. 8 and 9. In each of these figures, three heating cookers 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 and two voice input / output units 2-1 and 2-2 as in FIG. It shows a state in which the Wi-Fi router 21 is simultaneously connected.

  In the heating cooker system of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of heating cookers 1 can be connected to the Internet 24. For example, from the same voice input / output unit 2-1, the heating cookers 1-1 and 1-2 serving as a microwave oven And the cooking-by-heating machine 1-3 which becomes another kind of IH cooker can be operated by an audio | voice, respectively. In this case, the voice recognition unit 15 has a common configuration, and for example, a voice control unit 16-1 for an oven range and a voice control unit 16-2 for IH heating are respectively installed for each type of the heating cooker 1. Each of the voice control units 16-1 and 16-2 determines whether to receive the entire recognition result of the voice recognition unit 15 based on the specific keyword recognized by the voice recognition unit 15.

Is uttered toward the microphone 11 of the voice input / output unit 2-1 and the content of the message information M3 is analyzed by the voice recognition unit 15 by voice recognition, From the keyword "range 2" included in the message information M3, the control unit 16-1 instructs the operation on the heating cooker 1-2 associated with the voice input / output unit 2-1 in the device association total information storage unit 62. It is judged that it is and the text data for setting the menu of "hamburger" to the said heating cooker 1-2 is sent out. Also, for the voice input / output unit 2-1 to which the message information M3 has been input, for example, an announcement A5 such as "OK. Set the hamburg in the range 2" is notified through the speaker 12 Then, the voice response data is sent to the voice input / output unit 2-1 via the Internet 24.

  Here, for example, keywords such as "range 1", "range 2", and "iH 3" are set by the voice control unit 16 corresponding to the respective heating cookers 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3. The voice control unit 16-1 is not shown, for example, if the message information "Set range 1 chicken fried!" Is spoken to the microphone 11 of the voice input / output unit 2-1. Text data for setting a menu of “fried chicken” is transmitted to the heating cooker 1-1 serving as a microwave oven corresponding to the keyword. In addition, if the message information "Set your meat and meat!" Is uttered toward the microphone 11 of the voice input / output unit 2-1, the voice control unit 16-1 and the IH cooker corresponding to the keyword Text data for setting a menu of "meat and potato" is sent to the heating cooker 1-3. Thus, when the user U instructs the voice input / output unit 2 by voice, for example, along with a keyword specifying the heating cooker 1-1, any operation to the heating cooker 1-1 is supported, the user U corresponds to the keyword The heating control data from the voice control unit 16-1 enables the operation of the specified heating cooker 1-1.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the voice input / output unit 2 does not include a keyword, for example, a specific menu "Hamburg" and a series of message information M4 "Please set!" When the voice of the message information M4 is analyzed by voice recognition by the voice recognition unit 15, the voice control unit 16 determines which heating cooker 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 It can not be specified whether it is an operation instruction for Therefore, in this case, the Internet is used to inquire by voice from the voice input / output unit 2-1 to which the message information M4 has been input, as to which of the heating cookers 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 is an instruction for operation. The voice response data for inquiry is sent to the voice input / output unit 2-1 via 24. Thereby, for example, an announcement A6 such as “which cooker is instructed?” Is notified through the speaker 12 of the voice input / output unit 2-1.

  Then, in response to the announcement A6 from the voice input / output unit 2-1, as shown in FIG. 8, the user U voices in the message information M3 such as "Set Range 2 Hamburg!" Including the keyword. The voice control unit 16-1 receives this response if the voice response is made to the microphone 11 of the output unit 2-1, and the operation of causing the heating cooker 1-2 to set the menu of "hamburger" as described above. In addition, an announcement A5 such as "I understand. I will set the hamburg in the range 2" is notified from the speaker 12 of the voice input / output unit 2-1.

  As described above, the heating cooker system according to the present embodiment includes, as the heating cooker 1 of a plurality of types, for example, the heating cookers 1-1 and 1-2 as an oven range, and an IH cooker of another type The heating cooker 1-3 can be connected to the Internet 24 as a network, and the same type of heating cooker 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 can be connected from the same voice input / output unit 2-1, for example. The voice recognition unit 15 on the cloud 4 can be operated independently, and the voice control unit 16-1 for the microwave oven and the voice control unit 16-2 for the IH cooker are provided for each type of the heating cooker 1. Each has been set up.
