The start instruction is an instruction to cause the heating cooker 10 to start processing for automatic cooking with the cooking name "hamburger".

When kitchen remote controller 100 receives a start instruction including the cooking name “hamburger” from user terminal 200 at T16, kitchen remote controller 100 transmits the start instruction including the cooking name “hamburger” to heat cooker 10 at T18 via BTI/F 110. Send.

Upon receiving the start instruction from kitchen remote controller 100 at T18, cooker 10 transmits a recipe request requesting recipe data to kitchen remote controller 100 via BTI/F 40 at T20. Thereby, the recipe request is transmitted to the recipe server 300 by the kitchen remote controller 100 . The recipe request includes the cooking name “hamburger” included in the start instruction and the model name MN1 of the heating cooker 10 .

Upon receiving the recipe request from the cooking device 10 at T20, the kitchen remote controller 100 transmits the recipe request to the recipe server 300 via the wireless LAN I/F 112, AP4, and Internet 6 at T22.

When the recipe server 300 receives the recipe request from the kitchen remote control 100 at T22, at T24, the recipe server 300 identifies the target recipe data from the recipe table 302 according to the recipe request. Specifically, the recipe server 300 identifies a plurality of pieces of recipe information corresponding to the cooking name “hamburger” in the recipe request from the recipe table 302 . The recipe server 300 then identifies the recipe data HRD1 corresponding to the model name MN1 in the recipe request from among the plurality of pieces of identified recipe information as the target recipe data.

The user looks at the displayed recipe and prepares for automatic cooking with the cooking name "hamburger". Then, at T52, the user performs an ignition operation for igniting the stove burner 12a on the heating amount operation unit 61a.

When the heating cooker 10 receives the ignition operation at T52, it starts automatic cooking with the cooking name "hamburger" at T54 using the recipe data HRD1.

For example, a comparative example is assumed in which a start instruction is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the recipe server 300 and the recipe data HRD1 is transmitted from the recipe server 300 to the cooker 10 . In this comparative example, if there is another terminal device capable of transmitting the start instruction, the other terminal device transmits the start instruction to the recipe server 300, and the recipe server 300 transmits the recipe data to the cooking device 10. HRD1 may be transmitted. That is, in the comparative example, a user other than the user of the cooker 10 may operate another terminal device to cause the cooker 10 to illegally perform automatic cooking. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the user terminal 200 transmits a start instruction to the heating cooker 10 when the user selects the cooking name "hamburger" (T16, T18 in FIG. 3). Then, when a start instruction is received from user terminal 200, cooker 10 transmits a recipe request to recipe server 300 (T20, T22), and receives recipe data HRD1 corresponding to the recipe request from recipe server 300. (T26, T30). Therefore, even if a selection operation is performed in another terminal device different from the user terminal 200, the start instruction is not transmitted to the heating cooker 10 and the recipe data HRD1 is not received. As a result, the processing for automatic cooking is not started. According to this case, it is possible to prevent the processing for automatic cooking from being illegally started.

Further, according to this embodiment, the start instruction includes the cooking name "hamburger" (T18 in FIG. 3), and the recipe request includes the cooking name "hamburger" (T20). Thereby, the recipe server 300 can identify the recipe data HRD1 corresponding to the cooking name "hamburger" from among the plurality of pieces of recipe data. Therefore, the cooker 10 can receive appropriate recipe data HRD1 corresponding to the cooking name “hamburger” from the recipe server 300 .

In addition, according to the present embodiment, cooking device 10 transmits a recipe request to recipe server 300 via kitchen remote control 100, and receives recipe data HRD1 from recipe server 300 (T26, T30 in FIG. 3). . According to this configuration, the cooker 10 can communicate with the recipe server 300 via the kitchen remote control 100 having the wireless LAN I/F 112, which is a means for communicating with the recipe server 300, without having a means for communicating with the recipe server 300. can communicate with

Moreover, by using the kitchen remote control 100 installed in the kitchen together with the heating cooker 10 as a relay device, the heating cooking system 2 can be easily realized.

Moreover, a comparative example in which the cooking device 10 has a wireless LAN I/F is assumed. In this comparative example, the cooking device 10 can participate in the wireless LAN formed by AP4 using the wireless LAN I/F. Therefore, the heating cooker 10 can receive a start instruction from the user terminal 200 via the wireless LAN I/F, and can transmit a recipe request to the recipe server 300 via the wireless LAN I/F. Data can be received. In general, the wireless LAN I/F has higher power consumption than the BTI/F40. According to the configuration of this embodiment, the power consumption of the heating cooker 10 can be reduced by providing the BTI/F 40 with relatively low power consumption. Note that the configuration of the comparative example may be adopted in the modified example.

In this modified example, the process of storing the recipe data HRD1 in the memory 52 is an example of the "process for automatic cooking."

(Modification 4) In each of the above embodiments, the cooker 10 communicates the start instruction and recipe request via the BTI/F 40 and the kitchen remote controller 100 . Alternatively, the heating cooker 10 may include a wireless LAN I/F, and communicate the start instruction and the recipe request via the wireless LAN I/F. In this modified example, the "cooking system" may not include the "kitchen remote controller".

(Modification 5) The kitchen remote controller 100 does not have to execute the processes of T28 in FIG. 3 and T28 and T64 in FIG. In this case, the cooker 10 may display an error screen indicating that the recipe data cannot be received when accepting the operation of the power switch 30 . In this modified example, the process of storing recipe data can be omitted.

(Modification 6) In the first embodiment described above, the user terminal 200 transmits a start instruction to the heating cooker 10 via the kitchen remote control 100 (T16, T18 in FIG. 3). Alternatively, user terminal 200 may transmit the start instruction to cooker 10 via BTI/F 210 and BTI/F 40 of cooker 10 without kitchen remote controller 100 .

(Modification 7) In the third embodiment described above, the user terminal 200 transmits the second recipe request including the cooking name "hamburger" and the model name MN1 to the recipe server 300 (T322 in FIG. 6). Alternatively, the user terminal 200 may send the recipe server 300 a second recipe request including only the model name MN1. In this case, the user terminal 200 receives all recipe data corresponding to the model name MN1 from the recipe server 300 (for example, recipe data HRD1 corresponding to the cooking name “hamburger” and recipe data CRD1 corresponding to the cooking name “chawanmushi”). A plurality of pieces of recipe data (see FIG. 1)) may be received. Then, the user terminal 200 may specify the recipe data HRD1 corresponding to the cooking name “hamburger” from all the recipe data, and transmit the recipe data HRD1 to the heat cooker 10 . In this modification, the "second recipe request" may not include the cooking name.

(Modification 8) In the third embodiment described above, the user terminal 200 may store the recipe data HRD1 when receiving the recipe data HRD1 from the recipe server 300 (T326 in FIG. 6). Then, when the recipe data HRD1 is not received from the user terminal 200, the cooker 10 shifts from a state in which communication with the user terminal 200 is impossible to a state in which communication with the user terminal 200 is possible. When doing so, the recipe data HRD1 stored in the user terminal 200 may be received from the user terminal 200 .

(Modification 9) In the third embodiment described above, the cooker 10 receives the recipe data HRD1 from the recipe server 300 via the user terminal 200 (T326, T330 in FIG. 6). Alternatively, the heating cooker 10 may be provided with a wireless LAN I/F and receive the recipe data HRD1 from the recipe server 300 via AP4 and wireless LAN I/F without the user terminal 200 .

The technical elements described in this specification or in the drawings exhibit technical usefulness alone or in various combinations, and are not limited to the combinations described in the claims as of the filing. In addition, the techniques exemplified in this specification or drawings can simultaneously achieve a plurality of purposes, and achieving one of them has technical utility in itself.
