! The M device is equipped with an input device such as a dial or numerical buttons. However, in such an input device, cooking is simply controlled by setting the current cooking time, cooking temperature, etc. using a dial or the like.

In addition, it has been considered to incorporate electronic circuits such as a microcombi, a voice, etc. into a cooking device that performs such simple input control in order to provide an optimal environment for cooking. In other words, cooking control is automatically performed step by step. In such a case, the input device should be a type in which a large number of input buttons such as numeric buttons, function buttons, etc. are arranged on the panel part, and the remaining cooking time etc. is displayed on the display part. Therefore, a digital display such as a fluorescent display tube or an LED is used for this display section.

However, as the number of control items in the art world increases through the use of microcombinations, etc., an increase in the number of push buttons on the input section is inevitably required. It becomes impossible to set it up. For this reason, the control station.

Depending on the program, a limited number of push buttons are combined with function operations, etc., and are used for a large number of control steps. It becomes difficult to do so. in fact,

The pattern data stored in the display memory 21 is then supplied to the interface 13 and displayed on the display gray display device 14.

That is, in the apparatus configured as described above, for example, i! When the quin operation is performed, a command corresponding to the initial state from the program memory 18 causes the turn data in this initial state to be read from the turn memory 20 and written to the display memory 21. .

Then, a pattern corresponding to the read pattern data is displayed on the display gray display device 14 as, for example, the first pattern shown in FIG.

Here, the finger touch input device 12 is configured to overlap the display surface of the CRT display gray display device 14. FIG. 3 shows a specific example of the structure of the input device 12 and the display device 14, in which spacers 23
The input device 12 is fixed by the frame body 24 via the frame body 24.

As shown in FIG. 4, this input device 12 is constructed by placing transparent substrates 25 and 26 facing each other at a small interval with a spacer interposed therebetween. It is configured by forming a plurality of transparent conductive films 27a to 27d and 28a to 28df extending in the X direction and the Y direction, and by pressing the surface of the transparent substrate 26 on the front side with a fingertip, the X The transparent conductive films of Y and Y contact each other to form an electric circuit.

Therefore, by detecting the falling line of this output signal and the phase of the signal, it is possible to detect the position of the finger touch or touch on the display screen of the display device 14. Input data is determined according to the contents of the display screen.

That is, in the device configured as described above, when the display device 1 is turned on, the display device 1 is turned on as described above.
4, the first parable turn as shown in FIG. As is clear from the diagram, this pattern includes a comment that instructs you to set the time for the first cycle, as well as a time count in minutes. And the down button displays 31h, 31b, also the time count in "seconds" a,! and down button displays 31e, 31d,
Furthermore, the next set command button 31 is displayed.
These button displays s1* to 5xaIIikti are drawn corresponding to the intersections of the transparent conductive films 27a to 27d and JJta to 21d.

The operator operates the button display s according to the instructions on the display.
By selectively pressing in~31d'ff, a position signal is generated, and this is supplied to the control unit 11 as a command signal corresponding to the display screen content to indicate "minutes" or "seconds".
The counter is a! Or count down and set the time.

This time counting state is displayed on the minute display section 31f and second display section 31g, and the cooking time for the first cycle is set.

In this way, the setting of the g4 processing time of the first cycle is completed, and if it is 6th, the button display 31 is operated, and a command is given to the main control section 11, and the arm turn memory is set. The next 79 turns are read out from 20, and the second /4 turn shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. In this second parable turn, an instruction comment for setting the degree of heating in the first cycle is displayed, and the power up and power down button display 321° 32b
Button display 3 that instructs the next set and the end of the set.
2c and 32d are displayed. Therefore, the button display 32
By operating the finger touch input device 12 corresponding to m, jjb, the power is set, and the set power is displayed on the display section S2, thereby changing the cooking conditions in the first cycle. All settings will be entered.

If the cooking conditions for the second cycle exist in the cooking, if the button display 32e is operated, the second cycle
As shown in the diagram/? A turn display is performed for the second cycle, and the cooking time and power are set and input in the same manner as above.

When the input operation corresponding to a predetermined cycle is completed, the input operation corresponding to the button display 32d shown in FIG. 7 is performed to complete the input operation for the cooking cycle. All input cooking conditions are displayed as shown in FIG.

In this state, if an input operation corresponding to the start button display 33 & is performed, the cooking appliance will be automatically heated according to the set cycle pattern, and its progress will be indicated by the arrow 33.
b will now be displayed. Further, if the cooking/heating operation is stopped for some reason, input operations corresponding to the button display 33c of "st" and "f" may be performed.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operating state of the apparatus as described above. Step 100 sets the arm-on start position, and step 101 sets the internal reno star and output (-) to the initial state.

In step 102, the first pattern among the display patterns in the Δturn memory 20 is transferred to the display memory 21.

In addition, the number of cycles for the variable display pattern is written as "l", and the numerical data sections such as "minutes" and "seconds" are written as "00" in the memory 21. As a result, the display device 14 displays the information shown in FIG. 9 turns will be displayed. Also, the pattern display memory 21 is set to "l".

In step 103, the input device 12 (ma)
Scan the screen to check which button display was pressed. At this stage, only the identification of the pressed button display is stored in the memory 18, but its meaning is not determined.In step f104, the contents of the display memory 21 (/mother Turn order) "l" r2
Based on Jr3J and the button display texture entered and stored in step 103, the meaning of the switch is decoded.

For example, if the /4 turn order in the display memory 21 is "1" and the lower left key is pressed, the "minute countdown" is displayed.
This meaning is stored in the memory 11 as a flag.

In step 105, it is determined whether the stop f (STOP) flag is rlJ or "O". The 8TOP flag indicates that the contents of the display memory 21 are "3" in step f1o4.
” and the lower right key was pressed.
It is set to ``1'' and then set to ``0'' in step 101. Then, in step 106, in the first arm turn, when the part corresponding to the button display 31 is pressed (NEXT SET flag - rxJ), it is determined that the button display jje or the button display 32d is pressed in the second pattern. Determine whether or not it is time. (Although it is depicted simply in the drawing, the next change will be different depending on the currently displayed /l turn.) In step 107, the button display 32

, Ilk is suppressed (decoded in step 104), and the numerical value is counted up or down. here,
The memory 11 includes a time register (minute) and a /f register for "minutes" and "1 second" in the first cycle, and a second
and a similar register in the third cycle.

For example, the time registers in the first cycle are set to roOJK in ST and fxoz, but if the button display 311 is pressed when the display memory 21 is rlJ and the display device 14 is displaying the first pattern, The "minute" time register is counted up, and at the same time, data is written to the address corresponding to the variable display section jJf of the display memory 21 so as to display the same numerical value as the contents of the "minute" time register.

In the second/arm turn, until it is detected that the end button display Szd is pressed, Ste,! 101 to 108 are repeatedly processed. During this time, the prototypes of the first to third parable turns are transferred from the no-no-turn memoji 20 to the display memory 21, and the pattern display changes, indicating "minutes" and "seconds."
The value of "heating power" changes. The numerical value remains stored in the memory 18.

In step 109, the cycle setting is completed, and when the end button display 32d is pressed in the second pattern, (step, fx

At step 110, the numerical value corresponding to the variable display of the third arm turn is read out from the memory 18, and data is written into the display memory 21 to make the corresponding display. In this case, the master display pattern from the pattern memory 20 is read out. Although the two computers are located together, the addresses are different, so the data will not interfere with each other.

The data for displaying the time until the end of the 3rd No. 4 turn is obtained by summing the values of the time registers of each cycle to form a value that is used to display the remaining time. This total value is stored in the remaining time register held by the memory IJ.

In Step 11, the cooking flag erlJ is set to indicate that cooking is in progress. And Ste, Gu112
Start counting the real time. Then, the value of the heating power stored in the armature resistor of the first cycle is sent to the heating control circuit IJ via the I10 port 16 in the step 111.Then, the value is returned to the step 1011, where it is input. If you don't have one, then stay! Perform steps 114 and below. Even when the input is once interrupted after steps 104 to 108 have been executed 11t-1 times, the process returns to step 103 via step f114.

It is determined whether the cooking flag is "l" or "-" at step 114, and the processing branches. The cooking flag is reset to "0" at step 101 and set at step 111. While setting the pinch cycle, Ste.! Return to step 101 and execute steps 115 during cooking.

)1. f, fl J 5, the value of the real time counter is 1
It judges whether it has increased by 1 second or not, and if it has not increased, it returns to ST, fxos, but if it has increased by 1 second, STELLA! The process advances to step 116. At step 116, the value of the remaining time register is incremented by one second, and the variable display data in the memory 2 is rewritten. Further, although not described in detail, it is determined from the value of the real time counter whether a predetermined time has elapsed or not, and the data of the arrow display ssb is written into the display memory 21 at predetermined intervals.

In Step 117, the remaining time register M6 determines whether or not the cooking time has ended based on the value of the real time counter, and when the cooking time has ended, the process returns to Step 120. Step 118 determines whether the real time counter value indicates the end of the cycle, and if not, returns to step f103, and step 11# performs the next step. The cycle setting value is output to the heating control circuit 15 via I10/-1g.

When Stella f120 finishes v4 processing, i! Reset the iI management flag. After this, the process returns to the initial quiz step 101. Therefore, each register and CR
The T-display display returns to its initial state.

As described above, according to the present invention, a CRT display device, for example, a cathode ray tube screen of a television set commonly used at home, can be put into a usable state, and extremely complicated cooking cycle conditions can be input and set. It is possible to realize a cooking device that effectively applies a microcombi, microwave oven, etc. without installing a large input device on a panel board, etc. The range of applicability of controlled cooking devices is conveniently expanded with automatic cooking control.
