Description

The present invention relates to a method and system for preparing at least one meal using an electrical cooking appliance.

In the current state of the art, various methods of preparing dishes and various systems for carrying out these methods have become known.

In this document, cooking should be understood as cooking, frying, defrosting, reheating, restoring, or similar means to make dishes suitable for consumption.

The aim of the present invention is to provide a convenient and simple method and a convenient and simple system by which it becomes possible to prepare at least one dish in a simple manner.

This goal is achieved by a method with the features defined in claim 1 and by a system with features defined in claim 18. The purpose of the dependent claims are preferred further embodiments of the invention. Additional advantages and features of the invention are set forth in the general description and the description of the embodiment.

The method according to the invention serves to prepare at least one meal with at least one electrical cooking appliance. The method according to the invention includes the following steps:

- launching the control program on the control device;

- presenting a certain number of available dishes in stock by means of the device;

- selecting at least one dish from a number of available dishes;

- placing at least one selected dish in at least one electrical appliance for cooking;

- linking at least one cooking program to at least one selected dish by means of the control device;

- executing at least one cooking program in at least one electric cooking appliance.

The method according to the invention has many advantages. It allows easy and simple management and preparation of a dish or even several dishes and in particular high quality and very high quality menu items.

In a preferred further embodiment, the control program is executed on a removable or external control device. In simple cases, the control program can be run on the cooking appliance itself. However, the control program is preferably executed on an independent control device and in particular on a computer. In a particularly preferred case, a portable computer such as a smartphone or tablet or laptop is used to execute the control program. The control program can also be made in the form of an application ("app") with the ability to install on any smartphone or also on any PC. However, it is also possible to form the control device as part of a device that can be connected in a detachable and wireless manner to the electrical cooking appliance.

In preferred additional embodiments, the number of available dishes is determined by means of an optical and/or acoustic device. More preferably, the device is part of a control device. Preferably, a number of available dishes are shown on the display of the controller. Acoustic detection of available dishes is also possible. For example, voice output can also occur with names and/or code numbers for available dishes, so that the user does not need to look at the screen while voicing a number of available dishes, but rather can do something else while listening. Obviously, data entry into the control program can also be done by voice.

This device is preferably part of a control device. However, it is also possible to use any internal or external display that can be wired or wirelessly communicated from a control device.

Preferably, data relating to a number of stocked dishes that are available to the control program is stored in the first data memory. This data memory may be part of a device or a control device.

Preferably, data related to dishes in the first data memory can be identified and/or read into it. For example, data related to dishes can be scanned using a barcode or QR code on dishes or their outer packaging. It is also possible to place RFID on the outer packaging of dishes to be determined. It is also possible to manually enter data related to dishes.

In all configurations, cooking methods suitable for the selected dishes are preferably suggested by the control program. If more than one cooking method is offered for one selected dish, the user can choose from different cooking methods. In particular, the cooking program can be modified with respect to its parameters, such as, for example, cooking intensity and/or done point. Then such a change in the cooking method can be carried out by the control program.

The control program then preferably associates at least one cooking method with at least one cooking program that is running on at least one cooking appliance. In particular, at least two cooking methods for at least two selected dishes can be assigned to one cooking program. In this regard, the selected dishes can be grouped and then cooked at least partially at the same time with one cooking program in one electric cooking appliance. Alternatively, the cooking program and/or the cooking appliance can be adapted so that two different dishes can be cooked together in the cooking appliance by means of a power source placed in a certain way. For some dishes, it may be possible to place them at different times in the electric cooking appliance so that energy is supplied to one dish for a shorter time and to another dish for a longer time. In such a case, the cooking program may include a notification generated by the control program as to when to place a certain selected dish in the cooking appliance.

Cooking usually starts with the control program. By executing the corresponding command or by pressing the corresponding button, the control program directly or indirectly wirelessly (or also via cable) sends the appropriate message or the corresponding control command to the cooking appliance, whereby the cooking program is activated and then executed, in particular automatically way. In this regard, the changes made by the control program to the parameters of the cooking method are transmitted as a cooking program to the cooking appliance so that cooking takes place as required. It is possible to transfer the entire cooking program from the control program to the control device in the electric cooking appliance. Despite this, the preparation program or portions of the preparation program are preferably stored in the second external data memory. In this case, "external" is to be understood in particular as a data memory which is physically separated from both the controller and the cooking appliance. Cooking programs adapted to new dishes can then be stored in this memory.

In this regard, it is possible to carry out (final) changes once more in the cooking program in the cooking appliance itself before activating the actual cooking program in the cooking appliance. In this regard, a certain period of time (for example, 1 minute, or 3 minutes, or 5 minutes) may be available after the command is executed by the control device. After that, you can start the automatic cooking program. Despite this, it is also possible to intervene in the cooking program at any time via the controller and/or to make changes to the electrical cooking appliance itself. Changes made in the cooking appliance itself are preferably transferred (back) to the control program in the control device, where they are displayed and taken into account.

Preferably, a set of cooking appliances is provided with at least two cooking appliances, from which at least one cooking appliance can be selected. In particular, it is subsequently possible to select all the cooking appliances from the cooking appliances set when the cooking appliances from the cooking appliances set are available upon request. Alternatively, the control program may include user administration where only authorized users can select a portion of the cooking appliances from a set of cooking appliances. The cooking appliance is usually identified as unavailable when prompted when the cooking appliance is already assigned to a dish or when a cooking program has already started and therefore the cooking appliance is not available for additional cooking. Then, the cooking appliance is not available for additional cooking until the end of the cooking program, and the number of available cooking appliances in the cooking appliance set is reduced accordingly. In a preferred configuration, data relating to the cooking appliances of the cooking appliance set is stored in a third external data memory. This data memory must also be physically separated from at least the cooking appliances and, if necessary, also from the controller. It is important that in each case the control device and in particular the control program have access to the data in the data memory. Before granting authorized access, authentication may be requested such that the user must log in with a username and password before granting access to the data store. The unambiguous identification of the respective electrical cooking appliances corresponds to the specifically stored data. Otherwise, data relating to the properties and capabilities of the respective cooking appliances is preferably stored so that the control program can select a suitable cooking appliance for the execution of the cooking program.

In all configurations, the cooking appliances of the cooking appliance set preferably communicate their operating state to the control program, and the control program specifically enumerates the cooking appliances and preferably displays their operating status. In this way, the user is quickly and simply informed about which cooking appliances are available and what their current operating state is. For example, one of the cooking appliances may be running a cooking program at the time of the request and may not be available for another 10, 20, or 30 minute interval. Such information may be provided so that the user can obtain information about the number of electrical cooking appliances currently available and those that will be available later or in the near future. It is also possible for users to reserve electrical appliances for cooking so that the time of the reservation is displayed and overlaps can be avoided. After selecting the cooking appliance through the control program or while executing the cooking program, the user is also interested in knowing the operating status of the cooking appliances, for example, if the user forgot to close the doors or turn them on. In preferred embodiments, the control program receives, via push notifications, information about the current operating status of the selected cooking appliance and/or the progress of the cooking program and/or sensor data recorded by the cooking appliance. The control program then provides specific data on the operating status of the selected cooking appliance and the estimated and/or required end time and cooking duration. When selecting multiple cooking appliances from a set of cooking appliances with cooking programs having different cooking times, it is preferable that the control program starts cooking programs in different cooking appliances in such a way that all cooking programs are completed at approximately the same time.

In all configurations, the cooking appliance preferably includes at least one heat source. In particular, the electric cooking appliance comprises at least one high frequency heat source. In this regard, it is possible to modify at least one wavelength and/or frequency and/or at least one phase of the emitted high frequency radiation during the execution of the cooking program. In particular, the frequency and/or wavelength and/or at least one phase of the emitted high frequency radiation can be modified several times and is modified several times to cook food to be cooked until it is ready or to complete their preparation.

The system according to the invention serves to prepare at least one dish and comprises at least one electrical cooking appliance with a control device and an independent computer that can be connected via data transmission to the electrical cooking appliance. The computer is configured and configured to run a program for managing and presenting stocks or quantities of available dishes in stock via the device. The computer may select at least one dish, and data regarding the selected dishes may be transmitted to the control of the cooking device. The cooking appliance can carry out at least one cooking program.

In particular, the system is suitable and capable of performing, alone or in combination with others, one or more of the method steps described above.

In general, the invention provides a convenient system and a convenient method by which registered users can specifically control a control device. Preferably, the user registers or logs in with the control device, after which access to the available data can be granted.

The data available in the data memory particularly includes dishes that are, for example, in the refrigerator and/or storage room and are intended to be cooked, i.e. they have been identified in the data memory but have not yet been prepared. Using the control program, you can navigate through the various menu items. The dish and type of cooking can be selected from stocks or from a number of available dishes.

Similarly, it is possible to select a cooking appliance from a set of electrical cooking appliances to be used for cooking. After selecting a cooking appliance, it is preferable to check whether the desired cooking appliance is available at the required time, or is busy, or is needed during the scheduled time of use.

There may be a concept of authorization where individual users have access only to certain dishes, certain types of cooking, or certain electrical cooking appliances.

After selecting the cooking appliance, the electrical appliance state of the respective cooking appliance is modified so that no other user can reserve or use the cooking appliance (in the relevant time period) anymore.

Individual menu items can be combined with each other. In this regard, the control program can offer stand-alone options, according to which dishes can be intelligently combined with each other. Meals can also be offered that have a shelf life ending within a predetermined or predetermined period of time. For cooking, you can choose individual dishes or entire menus.

In the cooking list, the selected dishes are displayed unambiguously before prompting the user to place the selected dishes in the selected cooking appliance. In the case of individual dishes from the cooking list, you can make changes to the cooking program in order to adjust, for example, the done point.

After selection and confirmation, the cooking program is carried out. The end time is displayed on the user interface of the control device. Preferably, the times for the individual menus are also displayed.

Additional advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the description of the embodiment, the explanation of which is given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

On graphics:

in FIG. 1 is a schematic overview of a system according to the invention for cooking;

in FIG. 2 shows the interface of the control program at a particular stage of the method; in FIG. 3-7 are block diagrams of system control, and

in FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the data processing units of a system in accordance with the invention.

On FIG. 1 shows an overall system 200 with at least one cooking appliance 100 and one independent control device 20, such as, for example, a smartphone. Top left in Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic top view of a tray 1 in which dishes 33-38 can be placed.

The tray 1 is made in the form of a rectangular plate, has a main section 3 and an edge section 4, which, in this case, contains a total of four edge segments on the longitudinal and transverse edges. The edge section 4 defines the main section 3 laterally. The main section provides enough space for several dishes 31, which may, for example, be part of a menu.

It is possible and preferable that the complete menu is placed on the tray 1. Of these dishes, at least some may be partially cooked, ie. partially heat treated. All components on a plate can have the same physical state, while components on different plates can also have different physical states. In this sense, for example, the first tray may also contain deep-frozen dishes, while the other tray may only contain dishes with refrigerated ingredients.

In a particular embodiment, the tray 1 has a length of about 10 cm to 25 cm, in this case about 17 cm. The tray 1 in this case has a length of about 20 cm to 36 cm, and in this case about 33 cm. However other sizes are possible. In particular, the outer dimensions of the tray 1 are adapted to the inner dimensions of the cooking level 102 of the cooking space 101 of the electrical cooking appliance 100, which is schematically illustrated at the top right in FIG. 1. In a particularly preferred embodiment, two trays 1 can be placed simultaneously on the cooking level 102 of the cooking space 101. Therefore, two or preferably four trays can be placed simultaneously (on two cooking levels).

Preferably, the width 105 of the cooking space is approximately twice the width 5 of the tray and/or the length 106 of the cooking space is slightly greater than the length 6 of the tray. The trays should fill the cooking level 102 of the cooking space 101 as completely as possible, but there should also be a small space between them and between them and the walls of the cooking space. Thus, it makes it easier for the operator to remove the individual trays. In particular, it is preferred that the intermediate space between and around the trays is between 10% and 40%, and in particular between 20% and 40% of the area of the cooking level.

The cooking appliance 100 has at least one high frequency heat source 103 whose frequency and/or phase can be changed in a controlled manner during operation. Preferably, at least two antennas (not illustrated) radiate high frequency energy, and the radiation frequencies of the high frequency heat sources 103 and their phase difference can be changed depending on the measured scattering parameters.

Therefore, specific areas and/or specific parts of the dishes in the trays 1 can be treated or restored in a directed manner, while the remaining dishes 30 remain largely or completely unaffected by the high frequency heat source 103 due to their composition and/or their consistency, or their location in space. . By simultaneously placing two or more trays, respectively, it is possible to cook two or more dishes arranged on the trays at the same time. Therefore, it is also possible that different dishes are placed on the tray 1. Therefore, this reduces the number of electric cooking appliances needed at the same time in the case where the final cooking for a group of people is to take place at the same time.

The cooking appliance 100, in addition to the high frequency heat source 103, may also have additional heat sources such as those used in conventional cooking appliances.

On the bottom half of Fig. 1 on the left side shows very schematically the operating interface of the control program 10 of the control device 20. After starting the control program, the first step of the method illustrated in this case shows a welcome screen and a requirement to enter a name and password for a successful login. The data store 107 is illustrated with a dotted line and may be part of the control device 20 or be available to the control device 20 in a wired or wireless manner.

At the bottom center of Fig. 1 illustrates stores 30, for example in the form of a refrigerator 32, which stores a number of 31 different or identical dishes 33-38. The data relating to the dishes 33-38 available in the stocks 30 is stored in the data memory 107.

A set of cooking appliances 110 is available for cooking, with two cooking appliances 101, 104 given here as an example that can be used for cooking dishes 33-38.

On FIG. 2 illustrates the interface of the control device, and in particular the display of the smartphone after user login within the screen illustrated in FIG. 1. It illustrates an interface that shows the available and connected electrical appliances for cooking. In this regard, the control program 10 accesses the third external data memory 109, which is preferably the cloud 120 of the cooker manufacturer or the cooker's appliance distributor, see FIG. 8. The cooking appliances 100, 104 can then be registered to this data memory at the time of purchase or installation. In addition, it is also possible to purchase and register additional electrical appliances for cooking later and identify them accordingly with respect to the control program. In addition, the control program accesses the second external data memory 108, see also FIG. 8. This data memory 108 stores various cooking programs 41 in the form of scripts, which are converted by the program 121 in the cloud 120 into machine-readable programs and then sent to the cooking appliances 100, 104.

On the interface in Fig. 2, it is possible to control three cooking appliances (not illustrated) with the control program 10, namely, the third floor cooking appliance, the fourth floor cooking appliance, and the operator fifth floor cooking appliance. Of the three cooking appliances displayed, the cooking appliances on the third and fifth floors are ready and available for cooking. In contrast, the cooking appliance on the fourth floor is in use and therefore cannot be selected at the moment. Obviously, it is also possible to simultaneously control several electric cooking appliances in one installation location.

For example, according to the designed configuration, the button for the cooking appliance on the fourth floor may turn gray or a different color, indicating that the cooking appliance is not currently available. In this case, four menu items can be selected at the bottom of the operating interface, i.e. "cooking", "stocks", "profile" and "help". At the topmost section is a large button labeled "cooking" which, when pressed, initiates the actual operation.

Flowcharts of the control program, through which the logic and flow of the control program 10 can be understood, are shown below in FIG. 3-7.

After pressing the operation button 50 (start), the user is prompted to enter, as illustrated in FIG. 1. When the user just needs to log in, he is directed to branch 51 of the flowchart, after which he is prompted to log in or register. The user stays there in the loop until the correct login is confirmed or until the user registers. This is followed by the presentation of the interface as shown in FIG. 2 showing cooking appliances that are connected, i. e. tied to the user. Obviously, the cooking set 110 can also be assigned to multiple users, or only certain appliances 100 of the cooking set can be assigned to individual users, while others (appliance 104) are not. This means that in addition to user administration, the control program 10 may also include the concept of authorization for individual electrical appliances for cooking 100, 104.

If cooking appliances are connected, menu navigation corresponds to branch 52 and the user can see which cooking appliances are in use or reserved. Reserved or currently in use cooking appliances can be displayed with the corresponding status and are represented, for example, in red. In contrast, cooking appliances that are connected and currently available may have a status notification in green.

In the absence of connected cooking appliances, an empty list is displayed and the user may be notified that he or she must first register the cooking appliances in the third external memory 109. For example, this corresponds to the case of the first installation of the system 200, further described above.

After pressing the "cook" button, the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 4. If the storage chamber is full (in this context, "full" means that at least one dish 33-38 is registered in the memory 107 of the control device 22), branch 55 is implemented, and a list of available dishes is displayed on the device 21 of the control device 22. The user can select one or more dishes from it.

In contrast, if the storage room is empty and there are no more dishes left in stock, branch 54 is implemented and a notice appears that the food storage room is empty. The user is advised to use the scan function to add dishes that are still in stock or add dishes from other sources.

After selecting dishes and displaying the cooking list with selected dishes 33-38, the current cooking list can be edited. In this sense, it is possible to select a cooking method (branch 56) for one dish and thus modify, for example as illustrated, the degree of doneness (weak/medium/strong) of individual dishes or all of them. Of course, other cooking options such as doneness and the like can also be selected. The user is redirected to the cooking list, step 40, by making a cooking method modification. The control program then associates suitable cooking programs 41 with cooking methods (see Fig. 8). These cooking programs 41 are stored as scripts in the second external data memory 108. The same dishes or dishes that can be cooked with the same cooking program are advantageously combined with each other, and the user is encouraged to run these programs in the same cooking appliance. After an additional button press, the user proceeds to the flowchart according to FIG. 5, in which the connected cooking appliances are displayed as input.

When the cooking appliances 100, 104 are connected, their availability is displayed and they are visually represented in the list of connected cooking appliances. From the list of available cooking appliances, one or more cooking appliances can be selected, and a cooking plan can be displayed, in particular, an overview of the dishes and a link to the cooking appliances. In this respect, the cooking time of individual dishes and the expected completion of all dishes are preferably presented.

And finally, you can start the cooking process. In this regard, the necessary cooking programs are transferred as scripts from the second external data memory to the cloud 120 and converted there into machine-readable data by means of the program 121. They are transferred to the respective electrical cooking appliances 100, 104 and stored there in short-term memory. Then, the cooking appliances 100, 104 execute the cooking programs and cook the dishes 33-38. The cooking programs of individual cooking appliances can be started with a time delay, so that all cooking appliances finish their cooking programs at approximately the same time. In addition, cooking programs for at least two dishes may require placing dishes in the time delay cooking appliance. For this purpose, a request can be made to the control program.

If the storage room is empty in the block diagram according to FIG. 4 and the branch 54 is implemented, the user is directed to the number "1" by which the scanning function is activated.

The individual steps of the method are illustrated in FIG. 6. By pressing the "scan dishes" button, the user can select the mode and choose between simple mode or batch mode to scan food and dishes. Branch 61 is implemented when the serial mode is selected, and branch 62 is implemented when the simple mode is selected.

When branch 62 is selected, the simple scan window is displayed. In particular, scanning of dishes takes place optically or by means of radio frequency identification (RFID). If the scan gives a clear result, the corresponding dish from the storage chamber 30 is added and stored in the data memory 107. If the scan does not give a clear result, a notification appears and the user is advised to make a new identification or prompted to enter data manually.

In serial selection, according to the branch 61, several dishes 33-38 are added one after the other to the storage room 30. In this regard, a loop is realized in which individual dishes are scanned, and data regarding these dishes is added to the data memory 107. Thus one or more dishes can be added to stocks 30.

If the image according to Fig. 5 branch 57 is selected because only one empty list of available cooking appliances is defined, the user is advised to manually enter the available cooking appliances or use the scan function to add the available cooking appliances. On FIG. 7 schematically shows the exact sequence.

After pressing "scan electrical cooking appliances", a scanning window opens and the barcode of the electrical cooking appliance is registered, in particular, for example, optically. If the scan result is of sufficient quality and clarity (and the detected cooking appliance is currently available), it is added to the displayed list of (currently available) cooking appliances. After successfully adding a cooking appliance, you can scan and add additional cooking appliances. If the scan result is not satisfactory, the scan must be repeated or the corresponding data must be entered manually.

In summary, the present invention provides a method and system by which stocked dishes and cooking appliances available for cooking can be directly accessed after starting the control program, or after logging in and/or after successful registration. There may be different menu items on the main window which, for example, may lead to cooking, or lead to stock or refrigerator or their data, so as to view, for example, a selection of available dishes. It is possible to display the operating status of all available cooking appliances in the main window or the main window of the control program.

If cooking is already activated on the cooking appliance, this is specifically displayed on the main page and home page, etc. This also happens in particular when, after starting a cooking program, the control program is closed and restarted. The current cooking programs are then preferably displayed directly (after logging in). Preferably, it is not possible to edit or change or adapt the cooking program during the current operation.

During the display of individual dishes and/or electrical appliances for cooking, you can call up any auxiliary functions that provide additional information regarding the use of the control program and/or the type and composition of dishes in stock.

By clicking on the corresponding icon of the corresponding dish, this dish is added to the cooking list. Preferably it is then displayed whether or not additional dishes can be added. Quantities can be adjusted if necessary. You can choose individual dishes or complete menus for their preparation. It is also possible for the control program to generate proposals for full menus based on dishes from stock.

It is preferable to provide an overview that displays a detailed page with data related to the selected dishes.

If it is necessary to prepare, for example, dishes that are not directly contained in stocks provided, for example, by a third party, it is possible and preferably, for example, to scan the QR code on the outer packaging of dishes using the camera function on the smartphone so that the dish is entered in (data ) reserves. Thus, several dishes can be added to the cooking process.

Before the actual start of the cooking program, the cooking list preferably clearly shows the selected dishes. If necessary, in this case, the quantity can still be adjusted, and individual dishes can still be removed or added. Expiration date notices may be displayed. In the case of dishes with an adaptable doneness point, such as, for example, a boneless steak, the possibility of determining the doneness point is preferably offered.

After selecting the dishes to be cooked, the electrical appliance or appliances for cooking are selected where the cooking is to take place. If only one electrical appliance is available for cooking, this step is skipped. In general, all available cooking appliances are displayed and the user can select the cooking appliance where cooking is to take place.

The control program preferably determines, on the basis of the selected dishes and the available cooking appliances, the appropriate menu order and accordingly which dishes can and should be cooked at the same time and in which cooking appliances. In addition, the time required for the individual cooking steps and the time when individual dishes can be expected to finish cooking.

Manual adaptation of the cooking plan is possible and preferable.

Once everything is determined as necessary, cooking can begin at any time or with a delay in time.

After starting, the data regarding the dishes or cooking methods selected for the dishes are linked to the cooking programs, and distributed to the cooking appliances and executed in said appliances. During execution, data regarding the current operating status of the cooking appliances and the progress of running cooking programs, if necessary, even the sensor data recorded by the cooking appliance are read by the cooking appliances via the cloud and a second external data memory and transmitted as push notifications to the control program . In this way, the user is informed of the completion (and, if he or she wishes, also of the progress) of cooking so that the user can carry out other activities during the cooking or cooking operation. In addition, the user receives information about anomalies that may occur during cooking. The control program shows the user step by step what to do, when and in what order.
