A method for treating food in an appliance (14) by at least one treatment device of the appliance (14) comprises the steps of a. providing a food recognition system with at least one camera image of a food item to be treated by the appliance (14)(S1), b. picture data about the food item by extracting a number of at least one characteristic features of the food item from the at least one camera image (S2), c. assigning a food identification to the food item based on at least one of the number of characteristic features (S4, S6), d. executing a food treatment process or program allocated to the assigned food identification (S8). According to the invention, the camera image is provided during step a. (S1) by an external camera device (12, 14), wherein the camera image provision is executed—by data retrieval by the food recognition system, and/or—by data transfer by the mobile camera device (12, 20), and/or—on the operator's initiation. Further disclosed is a food treatment system comprising an appliance (14) for treating food and an external camera device (12, 20) as well as a software application.
摘要:
An object is to prevent a no-load operation. In a heating cooking apparatus (1) of the present invention, after a determination unit (22a) determines that no food product is present in a heating chamber (13), a reading control unit (22c) causes the reading device (16) to stop a reading operation for a predetermined time, or cancels, for a predetermined time, an information code read by the reading device (16).

In various embodiments, a method of encoding a custom cooking program includes receiving at least one sensor reading associated with food, determining at least one characteristic of the food based on the at least one sensor reading, generating cooking instructions for the food based on the at least one characteristic, and storing data that associates the cooking instructions with the food.
摘要:
Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for applying radio frequency (RF) energy to an object in an energy application zone. At least one processor may be configured to cause RF energy to be applied at a plurality of electromagnetic field patterns to the object in the energy application zone. The processor may be further configured to determine an amount of power dissipated in the energy application zone, for each of the plurality of field patterns. The processor may also be configured to determine a spatial distribution of energy absorption characteristics across at least a portion of the energy application zone based on the amounts of power dissipated when the plurality of field patterns are applied to the energy application zone.
摘要:
The present invention provides an appliance with a sensor directed toward a cooking surface positioned beneath the sensor. One or more features are provided for directing a flow of air across the sensing end of the sensor to protect or shield it during cooking operations.
摘要:
Disclosed are cooking devices having inspection systems including: a distance sensor and a digital optical recognition device. The distance sensor detects the position of the food product placed in the cooking device and the digital optical recognition device captures a series of images for the purpose of food product recognition. Once the food product is recognized, the operator is provided with the correct cooking cycle/program for the position and type of food product placed in the cooking device. The inspection systems also ensure that the food product has been properly cooked at the end of the cooking cycle/program. The inspection systems ensure: (1) the food product is correctly recognized; (2) the cooking cycle/program is correctly selected; (3) the correct cooking cycle/program is followed to completion and (4) the quality of the cooked food product meets expected standards.
摘要:
A microwave heating apparatus includes a cavity arranged to receive a load. At least one microwave generator is configured to feed a plurality of microwaves into the cavity. At least one image-capturing device and a control unit is adapted to obtain load volume information of the load within the cavity based on information recorded by the image-capturing device about at least one portion of the load, obtain load density information using at least one of a user input and information recorded by the image-capturing device about at least one portion of the load, determine load mass information based upon the load volume information and the load density information, determine a heating pattern based upon the load mass information and control the at least one microwave generator to provide the heating pattern within the cavity.
摘要:
In a method for controlling the operation of cooking equipment, executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, the electronic device communicate with cooking equipment and a camera device that creates height value. The method including setting the camera device to detect an area of a container positioned on the cooking equipment, a liquid concentration of liquid in the container is set, height values between the camera device and a surface of the liquid, in a Z axis direction corresponding to a direction that is parallel to a direction between the camera device and the surface, from the camera device is acquired, a height difference between a maximum height value and a minimum height value is calculated, and when the height value difference is more than a preset standard value, a heat reduction unit of the cooking equipment is controlled to change a working state.
