Description

[0001] SMART TABLEWARE AND ITS CHARGING DEVICE [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a smart table and a charging apparatus thereof, and more particularly, to a smart table with a display module capable of displaying various images or images and a charging apparatus for charging the smart table.

Generally, in a restaurant or a home, when a user is eating, the user uses the rice, the side dish, the soup and the tableware in the tableware arranged on the table, and the people who provide the meal use the food To decorate more beautifully or use a tableware with beautiful patterns.

With respect to such tableware, according to recent design-oriented trends, tableware buyers are considering not only functions such as durability, thermal conductivity, etc., but also the design of the tableware itself.

The tableware is designed by deforming the tableware itself or by printing pictures, patterns, etc. on one side of the tableware, but it has a problem that it can not change the tableware once designed.

And the food in the dish starts with the ingredients and the recipe and is finished with styling. In the case of recipe, which is a method of cooking food, it is possible to quantify the cooking method so that a beginner can expect more than a certain level of results.

Due to the improvement of living standards and the influx of diverse food cultures, professional services for food styling, table setting, as well as food cooking are required. It is difficult to maintain the satisfaction of the result by the individual level difference when the general person performs the food styling and the table setting.

In the case of a recipe, which is a cooking method, there are relatively few portions where a user's creative idea or user's preference is added, so it is not difficult to cook food according to a recipe-derived method. The guidance of the cooking method is merely to guide the food ingredients, the cooking temperature and the cooking time.

Techniques for guiding these cooking methods in various ways have been proposed. For example, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2011-0008428.

However, in the case of styling, there is a relatively large room for changing the styling according to the creativity and taste of the user, and the arrangement position of the items and the harmony of the color, smell and taste of the food should all be considered. Also, in the case of a recipe, there is no need to directly visualize the process, whereas in the case of styling, a process of visually confirming the user is required.

You can also refer to the booklet or TV program when styling your food. However, when referring to a book when styling a food, it is inconvenient or dangerous to use it in the process of cooking food which is weak to water or heat. When referring to a TV program, the screen must be distant from the TV layout or look back.

Therefore, every time you watch a book or TV program, styling is interrupted and it takes time to cook. And, it is limited to apply this visual guidance through the book or through the internet to the food that is made by the user.
