Based on this tag information, the wireless communication terminal 30 determines whether or not it is a target (rice cooker) rice cooker, and if it is determined to be the target rice cooker, transmits information for controlling the rice cooker.

  Hereinafter, information exchanged between the wireless communication terminal 30 and the wireless communication unit 7 is referred to as a telegram. In this embodiment, the menu selection information regarding the rice cooking menu which the user selected with the radio | wireless communication terminal 30 is transmitted as a message | telegram.

  The wireless signal processing unit 72 performs wired communication of the message received via the antenna 71 to the transmission unit 8 by UART serial communication. The transmission unit 8 sends this message to the received information decoding unit 9. The received information decoding unit 9 decodes the transmitted electronic message.

  Since the electronic message transmitted from the wireless communication terminal 30 is transmitted according to the communication protocol, it is necessary to decode it by the reception information decoding unit 9. For example, it is assumed that a request command 1 byte, data N bytes (the number of bytes varies depending on the contents of the request command), and a checksum 1 byte for detecting a communication error are sent in one set. In addition, for example, assume that the menu selection information request command is “0x80”, and subsequently, the numerical data assigned to the selected rice cooking menu is sent. In this case, the reception information decoding unit 9 first decodes the sent message request command, and if it is “0x80”, transmits the next data 1 byte as menu selection information to the control unit 3.

  When the control unit 3 receives the menu selection information from the reception information decoding unit 9, the control unit 3 shifts to the menu selection state a <b> 2 and displays the menu selection information on the display unit 6 instead of the rice cooking menu selected by the menu selection unit 4. indicate. Thereafter, when the start instruction unit 5 instructs the start of rice cooking, the control unit 3 controls the heating device 2 based on the menu selection information.

The cooking rice menu can be selected. In this case, it is preferable that the menu selection information related to the rice cooking menu of “(10) milled rice” is registered as a shortcut on the application of the wireless communication terminal 30. Thereby, it is not necessary to press the menu selection key 10 times as in the conventional rice cooker, and the rice cooking menu of “(10) millet rice” can be selected more easily.

  Note that by changing the message sent from the wireless communication terminal 30, rice cooking reservations and device settings can be made. For example, the request command for rice cooking reservation is “0x81”, and among the subsequent 3 bytes of data, 1 byte is data related to menu selection information, and 2 bytes are data related to rice cooking start time. In this case, the received information decoding unit 9 decodes the sent message request command, and if it is “0x81”, the next data 1 byte is used as menu selection information, and the next 2 data bytes are used as the rice cooking start time. Is transmitted to the control unit 3. Thereby, rice cooking reservation can be performed in the wireless communication terminal 30.

  Also, for example, the time setting request command is “0x82”, and the subsequent 2 bytes of data are data relating to the time to be changed. In this case, the received information decoding unit 9 decodes the sent message request command, and if it is “0x82”, transmits the next 2 bytes of data to the control unit 3 as information of the time to be changed. Thereby, time setting can be performed in the wireless communication terminal 30.

  Note that it is preferable to receive a message including a request command only in the standby state a1 or the menu selection state a2 in which the heating operation by the heating device 2 is not performed. Thereby, it can prevent receiving a message | telegram accidentally by the noise which generate | occur | produces from the heating apparatus 2. FIG.

  In the device setting state a6, it is preferable not to receive a message containing a request command other than a request command related to device setting. As a result, it is possible to prevent the device setting state a6 from being fixed with information being set.

  Next, the usage example of the rice cooker concerning this embodiment is demonstrated.

Menu selection information corresponding to the icon is transmitted to the wireless communication unit 7. The wireless communication unit 7 demodulates the menu selection information and transmits it to the reception information decoding unit 9 via the transmission unit 8. The received information decoding unit 9 decodes the received information. The decrypted information is transmitted to the control unit 3 and temporarily stored in the storage unit of the control unit 3.

  Thereafter, when the start instruction unit 5 instructs the start of rice cooking, the control unit 3 is temporarily stored in the storage unit instead of the plurality of rice cooking menus stored in the storage unit in advance as described above. Cooking rice is executed based on the menu selection information.

  That is, when the user desires to perform rice cooking with a rice cooking menu different from the pre-selected rice cooking menu, the icon indicating the specific rice cooking menu of the wireless communication terminal 30 is selected, and the wireless communication terminal 30 is connected to the wireless communication unit. The cooked rice can be executed simply by bringing it close to 7.

  In addition, after performing rice cooking based on the menu selection information temporarily memorize | stored in the memory | storage part, it is preferable to erase | eliminate the said menu selection information from a memory | storage part. Thereby, when cooking rice in a state where menu selection information is not transmitted from the wireless communication terminal 30, the control unit 3 performs rice cooking based on any one of the plurality of rice cooking menus stored in the storage unit in advance. It will be. That is, the menu selection unit 4 does not have to select a desired rice cooking menu every time, and the user-friendliness can be further improved.

  Note that what is deleted from the storage unit may be information such as a flag for executing a specific rice cooking menu, not the program itself of the menu selection information.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of rice cooking menus are selected by the menu selection unit 4 of the rice cooker. However, as shown in FIG. 4, a list of the plurality of rice cooking menus is displayed on the display unit of the wireless communication terminal 30. May be displayed on the screen and allow the user to select.

  The menu selection information transmitted from the wireless communication terminal 30 to the wireless communication unit 7 may be the rice cooking menu program itself or information indicating the rice cooking menu. When the menu selection information is a rice cooking program, a new rice cooking program can be transmitted from the wireless communication terminal 30 to the wireless communication unit 7. Moreover, when menu selection information is information which shows a rice cooking program, the rice cooking program memorize | stored in the memory | storage part can be performed only by designating the rice cooking program memorize | stored in the memory | storage part previously.
