- one or more determination results or calculations are performed at a remote server. Specifically, the comparison of 430 or the establishment of 440 may be performed at least in part at 440. In some such embodiments, a preferred temperature setting of 440 is received from a remote server.
- method 400 includes receiving an enable signal from a user interface.
- an enable signal may be triggered or transmitted in response to a particular cooking operation or selection of engagement by a particular user input on the user interface.
- the enable signal may be triggered in response to engagement of a baking input at the user interface.

Description
本发明主题总体上涉及烤箱器具,并且更具体地涉及具有用于更新默认温度设定的特征的烤箱器具和方法。The subject matter of the present invention relates generally to oven appliances, and more particularly to oven appliances and methods having features for updating default temperature settings.
常规的住宅和商用烤箱器具通常包括机壳,所述机壳限定接收用于烹饪的食物物品的烹饪室。加热元件定位在烹饪室内,以向位于其中的食物物品提供热量。加热元件可包括例如辐射加热元件,比如定位在烹饪室的底部处的烘焙加热组件或定位在烹饪室的顶部处的烘烤加热组件。Conventional residential and commercial oven appliances typically include a cabinet that defines a cooking chamber that receives food items for cooking. The heating element is positioned in the cooking chamber to provide heat to the food items located therein. The heating element may include, for example, a radiant heating element such as a baking heating assembly positioned at the bottom of the cooking chamber or a baking heating assembly positioned at the top of the cooking chamber.
在一些常规的烤箱器具中,在烤箱器具上或附近提供用户界面。通常,一旦烤箱被启用或选择加热操作(例如,烘焙操作),用户界面就提供用于烹饪室的默认温度设定。例如,350°F(华氏度)的温度设定是用于美国境内销售的许多烤箱器具的默认温度设定。在没有进一步选择或输入的情况下,烤箱器具然后可以将烹饪室加热到默认温度设定的值(即,温度)。如果用户希望烹饪室以与默认温度设定不同的温度设定操作,则用户必须在已启用烤箱或已选择加热操作之后经常按压或选择新的温度设定。In some conventional oven appliances, a user interface is provided on or near the oven appliance. Generally, once the oven is enabled or a heating operation is selected (eg, a baking operation), the user interface provides a default temperature setting for the cooking chamber. For example, a temperature setting of 350 ° F (Fahrenheit) is the default temperature setting for many oven appliances sold in the United States. Without further selection or input, the oven appliance may then heat the cooking chamber to a value (ie, temperature) set by a default temperature. If the user wants the cooking chamber to operate at a temperature setting different from the default temperature setting, the user must frequently press or select a new temperature setting after the oven has been enabled or the heating operation has been selected.
通常,任何默认温度设定在烤箱器具制造期间被编程在烤箱器具内,并且不可以被改变。尽管默认温度设定可能是对许多或大多数消费者来说执行大多数烹饪操作的温度,但可能存在很少使用默认温度设定的消费者或实例。这可能导致一些消费者感到沮丧,因为他们需要定期调节用于烤箱器具的温度设定。一些消费者可能希望改变默认温度设定,但可能不容易知道适当的温度设定是什么。另外,在许多情况下,消费者或用户很难(如果不是不可能的话)改变烤箱器具的任何默认设定。Generally, any default temperature setting is programmed into the oven appliance during manufacture of the oven appliance and cannot be changed. Although the default temperature setting may be the temperature at which most or most consumers perform most cooking operations, there may be consumers or instances where the default temperature setting is rarely used. This may cause frustration for some consumers as they need to adjust the temperature settings for oven appliances on a regular basis. Some consumers may wish to change the default temperature setting, but it may not be easy to know what the appropriate temperature setting is. In addition, in many cases it is difficult, if not impossible, for a consumer or user to change any of the default settings of the oven appliance.
因此,进一步改进对于调节烤箱器具中的默认温度设定是有用的。具体而言,提供允许对烤箱器具的设定进行调节而不需要来自用户的直接控制器输入的烤箱器具或方法可能是有利的。Therefore, further improvements are useful for adjusting the default temperature setting in the oven appliance. In particular, it may be advantageous to provide an oven appliance or method that allows the settings of the oven appliance to be adjusted without requiring direct controller input from the user.

Therefore, communication can be performed through the network and corresponding network interfaces of the oven appliance and the remote server. In some such embodiments, each historical heating cycle (e.g., selected temperature settings or other related information about the heating cycle) is automatically transmitted to a remote server in real time (e.g., whenever a new heating cycle is initiated ). In other embodiments, one or more heating cycles are transmitted after the end of the heating cycle (eg, such that multiple heating cycles are transmitted simultaneously later).
在某些实施例中,多个历史加热循环包括在动态时间段期间执行的加热循环。因此,多个历史加热循环可以仅包括在动态时间段内执行的加热循环或仅由其形成。作为动态时间段,可以定期地(例如,每天、每周、每月等)更新多个历史加热循环。可选地,动态时间段可以包括相对于当天或周的过去的设定时间量。作为一个示例,动态时间段可以包括从当天向回的两个月的时段。作为另一示例,动态时间段可以包括当天之前的六个月的时段。作为又一示例,动态时间段可以包括预定时间跨度或季节(例如,冬季、春季、夏季或秋季)。另外,可以提供任何其它合适的时间段。In some embodiments, the plurality of historical heating cycles includes a heating cycle performed during a dynamic time period. Therefore, multiple historical heating cycles may include or be formed only by heating cycles performed during a dynamic period of time. As a dynamic time period, multiple historical heating cycles may be updated periodically (eg, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). Optionally, the dynamic time period may include a set amount of time relative to the past of the day or week. As one example, a dynamic time period may include a two-month period from the current day back. As another example, the dynamic time period may include a period of six months before the current day. As yet another example, the dynamic time period may include a predetermined time span or season (eg, winter, spring, summer, or autumn). In addition, any other suitable time period may be provided.
在附加或替代实施例中,多个历史加热循环包括最小数量的历史加热循环。 换言之,在可以执行方法400的一个或更多个后续步骤之前,可能需要最小数量的加热循环。例如,最小数量的历史加热循环可以是十个加热循环或二十个加热循环。可选地,可以用每个新的加热循环来更新多个历史加热循环。附加地或替代地,每个新的加热循环可以替换先前的(即,较旧的)历史加热循环。因此,多个历史加热循环可以仅包括选定数量的最新的历史加热循环。In additional or alternative embodiments, the plurality of historical heating cycles includes a minimum number of historical heating cycles. In other words, a minimum number of heating cycles may be required before one or more subsequent steps of method 400 can be performed. For example, the minimum number of historical heating cycles may be ten heating cycles or twenty heating cycles. Alternatively, multiple historical heating cycles may be updated with each new heating cycle. Additionally or alternatively, each new heating cycle may replace a previous (ie, older) historical heating cycle. Therefore, the plurality of historical heating cycles may include only a selected number of the latest historical heating cycles.
在420处,方法400包括基于多个历史加热循环的输入温度来确定优选的温度设定。换言之,可以通过使用多个历史加热循环的输入温度来确定优选温度设定。At 420, method 400 includes determining a preferred temperature setting based on the input temperature of the plurality of historical heating cycles. In other words, a preferred temperature setting can be determined by using the input temperature of multiple historical heating cycles.
可选地,优选温度设定可以是多个历史加热循环的中值温度设定(例如,数值)。在这类实施例中,420因此包括识别中值温度设定。Alternatively, the preferred temperature setting may be a median temperature setting (eg, a value) of a plurality of historical heating cycles. In such embodiments, 420 therefore includes identifying a median temperature setting.
在430处,方法400包括将优选温度设定与先前的默认温度设定进行比较。因此,可以得出关于来自420的优选温度设定是否偏离或者替代地匹配先前的默认温度设定的确定结果。先前的默认温度设定通常被理解为在完成比较430时用于烤箱器具的默认温度设定。At 430, method 400 includes comparing the preferred temperature setting to a previous default temperature setting. Therefore, a determination can be made as to whether the preferred temperature setting from 420 deviates or alternatively matches a previous default temperature setting. The previous default temperature setting is generally understood as the default temperature setting for the oven appliance when the comparison 430 is completed.
可选地,先前的默认温度设定可以是(例如,在组装期间、或者在安装和使用之后)编程或记录在烤箱器具的控制器上的温度设定值。如果优选温度设定确实偏离或不同于先前的默认温度设定,则430可以包括计算优选温度设定与先前的默认温度设定的差异(例如,作为幅度值或百分比)。Alternatively, the previous default temperature setting may be a temperature setting value programmed or recorded on a controller of the oven appliance (eg, during assembly, or after installation and use). If the preferred temperature setting does deviate from or differ from the previous default temperature setting, 430 may include calculating a difference (eg, as an amplitude value or percentage) between the preferred temperature setting and the previous default temperature setting.
在440处,方法400包括将优选温度设定确立为当前默认温度设定。具体而言,440可以响应于偏离现有默认温度设定的优选温度设定而发生。先前的默认温度设定由此以优选温度设定来替换。然后,优选温度设定可以用作未来操作期间用于烤箱器具的默认温度设定。因此,优选温度设定可以是当烤箱器具被启用或者在用户输入处选择特定的烹饪操作时烤箱器具首先呈现或启动的温度设定。At 440, method 400 includes establishing a preferred temperature setting as the current default temperature setting. Specifically, 440 may occur in response to a preferred temperature setting that deviates from an existing default temperature setting. The previous default temperature setting is thus replaced with a preferred temperature setting. The preferred temperature setting can then be used as the default temperature setting for the oven appliance during future operations. Therefore, the preferred temperature setting may be a temperature setting that the oven appliance first presents or activates when the oven appliance is enabled or a particular cooking operation is selected at a user input.
可选地,440可以要求优选温度设定从先前的默认温度设定偏离预定百分比(例如,2%、5%、10%或其它合适的百分比)。Alternatively, 440 may require that the preferred temperature setting deviate from a previous default temperature setting by a predetermined percentage (eg, 2%, 5%, 10%, or other suitable percentage).
在某些实施例中,可以重复方法400的一个或更多个步骤(例如,作为闭环)。如果优选温度设定未能完全偏离(即,不偏离)先前的默认温度设定或未能偏离先前的默认温度设定预定的百分比,则方法400可以包括(例如,响应于这种确定结果)确立先前的默认或设定具有当前默认温度设定。In some embodiments, one or more steps of method 400 may be repeated (eg, as a closed loop). If the preferred temperature setting fails to completely deviate (ie, does not deviate) from the previous default temperature setting or fails to deviate from the previous default temperature setting by a predetermined percentage, the method 400 may include (eg, in response to such a determination) Establish a previous default or setting with the current default temperature setting.
在可选实施例中,在远程服务器处执行一个或更多个确定结果或计算。具体而言,430的比较或440的确立可以在440处被至少部分地执行。在一些这种实施例中,从远程服务器接收440的优选温度设定。In an alternative embodiment, one or more determination results or calculations are performed at a remote server. Specifically, the comparison of 430 or the establishment of 440 may be performed at least in part at 440. In some such embodiments, a preferred temperature setting of 440 is received from a remote server.
在450处,方法400包括从用户接口接收启用信号。例如,可以响应于用户接口上的具体用户输入的特定烹饪操作或接合的选择,可以引发或传送启用信号。可选地,可以响应于在用户接口处的烘焙输入的接合来引发启用信号。At 450, method 400 includes receiving an enable signal from a user interface. For example, an enable signal may be triggered or transmitted in response to a particular cooking operation or selection of engagement by a particular user input on the user interface. Optionally, the enable signal may be triggered in response to engagement of a baking input at the user interface.
在460处,方法400包括响应于接收到启用信号而将烤箱器具的烹饪室引导到当前默认温度设定。因此,烤箱器具将在显示器处呈现当前默认温度设定,或者(例如,通过启用其中的一个或更多个加热元件)启动烹饪室的加热至当前默认温度设定,如上所述。At 460, method 400 includes directing the cooking chamber of the oven appliance to a current default temperature setting in response to receiving an enable signal. As such, the oven appliance will present the current default temperature setting at the display, or (e.g., by enabling one or more of the heating elements) to initiate heating of the cooking chamber to the current default temperature setting, as described above.
