Therefore, when it is necessary to read the cooking data in the electronic device 200, the processor 230 analyzes whether or not the specific cell is included in the specific cell as described above, and only the Excel file determined as the cooking data is displayed on the display unit 220). For example, when a screen such as 13a or 14b is displayed, the processor 230 does not display all the Excel files stored in the electronic device 200, analyzes the contents of the Excel file, and displays only those that match the cooking data file format .

According to this, when the cooking data is to be transmitted to the cooking device, it is possible to prevent the data other than the cooking data from being transmitted.

On the other hand, even if it is determined that the specific phrase is displayed in the specific cell and is the cooking data file format, if the specific cooking value is not appropriate, for example, the time format such as MM: SS should be indicated in the cell F6 in FIG. If the format is indicated, such incorrect cooking data may be sent to the cooking device and used for cooking may cause errors in the cooking device. Accordingly, the processor 230 may perform a process of determining whether the cooking value included in the cooking data is valid before transmitting the cooking data to the cooking device.

For example, when the second UI element 1212 of FIG. 12A is selected, the processor 230 displays at least one pre-stored cooking list as shown in FIG. 13A, and selects one of the cooking data, If the data 1311 is selected and the value contained in the first group cooking data 1311 is not valid, the processor 230 may control the display unit 230 to display an error message. If the value included in the selected first group cooking data 1311 is valid, the processor 230 may control the communication unit 210 to transmit the first group cooking data 1311 to the cooking device.

In this case, the error message may include text such as "Cooking data is invalid ". In addition, the processor 230 may control the display unit 220 to display a UI element for editing the selected first group cooking data 1311 together with the error message. When the displayed UI element is selected, the processor 230 can display a screen as shown in FIG. 14C. Alternatively, an Excel file of the format shown in FIG. 15 can be displayed. Accordingly, the user can correct the wrong cooking value.

On the other hand, in order to prevent an erroneous value from being included in the cooking data, only values that can be input to the corresponding cell in the drop box format as shown in Fig. 16 can be displayed in the cooking data Excel file. Fig. 16 is an enlarged view of a part of Fig. For example, when only the heat and defrost are effective values, the processor 230 can display only the heating 1612 and the defrosting 1613 when the drop box 1611 is selected.

FIG. 17 shows an example of group cooking data stored in the electronic device 200. FIG.

Then, the electronic device 200 searches for nearby cooking devices through wireless local area communication (S1830). In this case, Bluetooth communication can be used.

The cooking apparatus 100 is also a device supporting wireless short-range communication such as Bluetooth communication. In order to connect the cooking apparatus 100 and the electronic apparatus 200, the user operates the input unit of the cooking apparatus 100 to execute the wireless short-distance communication. An example is to select the Bluetooth button 43 in FIG. Thereby, the electronic device 200 can search the cooking apparatus 100.

The electronic device 200 displays a cooking device retrieved through the display unit 230. Then, the user selects a desired cooking apparatus from among the displayed cooking apparatuses (S1840). In this case, one cooking device may be selected, and two or more cooking devices may be selected.

Then, the cooking data is transmitted to the selected cooking device or the cooking data is received from the selected cooking device (S1850). When the cooking data transmission or reception is completed, the short range wireless communication function may be automatically disabled in the corresponding cooking device.

Then, the electronic device is selected to continue the process (S1860). When the continuation is selected, the electronic device 200 may display the UI screen including the UI element for transmitting the cooking data and the UI element for receiving the cooking data to select the cooking data transmission or the cooking data reception. If continuation is not selected, the electronic device 200 ends the recipe APP (S1870).

18, a step S1830 of searching for a cooking device after the step S1820 of receiving the cooking data or receiving the cooking data and a step S1840 of selecting the cooking device are performed. However, (S1830), selecting a cooking device (S1840), and receiving cooking data or selecting cooking data reception (S1820). In operation S1830, the cooking device may be searched (S1830) (Step S1820), and the step of selecting a cooking device (step S1840).

On the other hand, the cooking device can be automatically selected even if the user does not select it. For example, the nearest cooking device may be automatically selected, the cooking device with the largest number of connections may be automatically selected, or may be automatically selected when the number of the cooking devices is one. Accordingly, step S1840 of selecting the cooking apparatus from the user is an omissible step.

Generally, a Bluetooth device has its own device name. When the Bluetooth communication is started in the step S1830 of searching for the cooking device, the Bluetooth of the cooking device can be searched in the electronic device 200 as the device name. In this case, the cooking device does not have a fixed name as the device name. For example, the device name of the cooking apparatus may be "[Microwave Oven] SamsungXX ". The front part "[Microwave Oven] Samsung" is a fixed name, and the back XX can be varied and can be any number from 00 to 99. This number is arbitrarily generated by the cooking device whenever the Bluetooth communication is started in the cooking device, and is displayed on the display portion of the cooking device. For example, '33' is displayed as described in FIG.

The reason why the arbitrary number is displayed as described above is to distinguish each of the cooking apparatuses using the numbers displayed when there are two or more cooking apparatuses. The user can compare the device name displayed on the electronic device 200 with the number displayed on the display unit 340 of the cooking device 100 to determine whether the device is the same cooking device. An example of what is displayed on the electronic device 200 is shown in Fig. In FIG. 11, the number 33 shown in the electronic device 200 and the number 33 shown in the cooking device 100 in FIG. 10 are the same.

19 is a flowchart for explaining a method of receiving cooking data of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 19, first, the electronic device 200 selects a UI element for receiving cooking data on the screen as shown in FIG. 12A (S1910).

Then, the electronic device 200 requests the cooking data value to the cooking device 100 (S1920). In this case, only some of the cooking data stored in the cooking apparatus 100 may be requested, or all of the cooking data may be requested. If you request all the data, you can receive all the data by requesting the cooking data one by one, and receive all the cooking data with only one request.

Assuming that the cooking apparatus 100 can store up to 30 cooking data, the electronic device 200 can receive all of the cooking data by requesting the cooking data one by one. What is actually received are values such as cooking type, cooking intensity and cooking time.

Then, the electronic device 200 receives the requested cooking data value from the cooking device (S1930). When the entire cooking data is requested, the entire cooking data is received, and when some cooking data is requested, some cooking data is received.

Then, the electronic device 200 stores the received cooking data value (S1940). For example, a value corresponding to the cooking type, a value corresponding to the cooking intensity, and a value corresponding to the cooking time may be stored in the storage unit.

When the cooking device 100 transmits the data requested by the electronic device 200, the electronic device 200 stores the cooking data stored in the storage unit in the form of an Excel file (S1950). The default format of the Excel file (see FIG. 16) is stored in advance in the recipe APP, and is stored at the time of installing the recipe APP. Recipe APP can save this file by reading this file and writing appropriate data such as cooking time and cooking intensity to each cell and storing it in the storage unit. In this case, the file can be stored with the current date as a file name.

20 is a flowchart for explaining a method of transmitting cooking data of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 20, first, the electronic device 200 selects a UI element for transmitting cooking data on the screen as shown in FIG. 12A (S2010).

When the cooking data is transmitted, a user's selection process is required to determine which cooking data is to be sent. For this selection process, all the cooking data files stored in the electronic device 200 are displayed through the display unit 220 (S2020). The format of the cooking data file may be an Excel file.

In this case, all Excel files stored in the electronic device 200 should not be displayed. Therefore, the electronic device 200 can analyze only the contents of the Excel file and display only the matching file after judging whether the file conforms to the cooking data file format. Since the Excel file has a default format (see FIG. 16), it is necessary to confirm that the basic format is correct. For example, a process of confirming whether a specific phrase is necessarily displayed in a certain cell can be performed. The reason why this process is performed is to not unnecessarily include the Excel file in the recipe APP in the cooking data file list, not the cooking data file. On the other hand, if the cooking data file does not exist in the electronic device 200, the electronic device 200 can inform the user that there is no cooking data.

The user selects the cooking data to be transmitted from the displayed cooking data list (S2030).

The electronic device 200 analyzes the selected cooking data file (Excel) and extracts the cooking data 'value' (S2040).

Then, the electronic device 200 determines whether the extracted cooking data value is valid (S2050). This is to prevent the cooking data having an incorrect cooking data value from being transmitted to the cooking apparatus 100 and malfunctioning. For example, the time must be entered in minutes and seconds, such as MM: SS, and the cooking type must be entered in phrases such as 'Defrost', 'Heat', and the intensity should be 'Low', 'Medium' '. For the cooking data including values other than the above-mentioned types, the electronic device 200 judges that the cooking data includes an invalid value. For example, when another value such as English or a special character is input to a cell to which a number is to be input, it can be judged that it includes an invalid value. And, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 200 may further indicate that when the cooking data containing the invalid value is selected, by simply indicating which cell of the Excel has been incorrectly entered, You can tell the user specifically what value is wrong.

Then, the electronic device 200 transmits the extracted cooking data value to the cooking device (S2060). In other words, the electronic device 200 does not transmit the Excel file to the cooking apparatus 100, but transmits the actually meaningful value stored in the Excel.

In this case, it is possible to send one cooking data as in the case where the electronic device 200 receives the cooking data, and all the data can be sent to the cooking device 100 all at once or continuously. For example, 30 pieces of cooking data can be set in the cooking apparatus 100, the electronic device 200 transmits a plurality of pieces of cooking data to the cooking apparatus 100 in units of 30, and the cooking apparatus 100 And receives the 30 pieces of cooking data and performs the writing operation of the cooking data values received in the storage unit 110. [ That is, the cooking apparatus 100 can replace (or update) 30 existing cooking data with 30 newly received cooking data.

21 is a flow chart illustrating a method for viewing and editing cooking data in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;

Referring to FIG. 21, a recipe APP is executed by a user operation in the electronic device 200, or reception of cooking data from the cooking device 100 or other electronic device is completed (S2110). When the recipe APP is executed by a user operation, a screen as shown in FIG. 12A can be displayed. When reception of the cooking data from the cooking device 100 or other electronic device is completed, a screen as shown in FIG. 12E may be displayed.

Then, the electronic device 200 selects the cooking data management mode (S2120). In the process of selecting the management mode, for example, when a recipe APP is executed and a screen as shown in FIG. 12A is displayed, a context menu 1214 is selected and a UI element 1411 for editing cooking data is displayed on the screen shown in FIG. It can be a process of being selected. Or when the reception of the cooking data is completed and the screen as shown in FIG. 12E is displayed, the user can select the UI element 1252 for editing the received cooking data.

Then, the electronic device 200 displays all the cooking data files stored in the electronic device 200 through the display unit 220 (S2130). This step corresponds to step S2020 described above with reference to FIG.

Then, the electronic device 200 selects the cooking data to be edited (S2140). This step corresponds to step S2030 described above with reference to FIG.

Then, the electronic device 200 displays the selected cooking data (S2150). For example, an Excel file as shown in Fig. 17 can be displayed. Or the cooking data list may be displayed as shown in FIG. 14C.

Then, the electronic device 200 can edit the name of the cooking data according to a user operation, and also edit the value included in the cooking data. For example, when the edit UI element 1435 is selected in the screen as shown in FIG. 14C or 14D, a screen having a name editable state as shown in FIG. 14E can be displayed. The specific information 1441 and 1442 included in the cooking data can be edited on the screen as shown in FIG. 14D. In addition, the values included in each cell of the Excel file as shown in Fig. 17 can be edited.

The edited information is stored in the electronic device 200, and the edited information can be displayed through the electronic device 200. [

According to the various embodiments described above, it is useful for management and sharing of cooking data used for cooking in a cooking device.

22 is a flowchart for explaining a control method of the electronic device 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
