Heating apparatus, kitchen appliance interlocking system and kitchen appliance interlocking method

Abstract

This disclosure provides a heating device, a kitchen appliance linkage system, and a kitchen appliance linkage method. The heating device uses a vibration sensor to receive tapping events triggered by a user. A control circuit determines multiple signal characteristics within the tapping signal. When all multiple signal characteristics of the tapping signal meet their respective triggering conditions, the control circuit controls a wireless communication circuit to wirelessly output control commands to the exhaust device. This allows the heating device to control the exhaust device based on user-triggered tapping events, while the control circuit's determination of multiple signal characteristics in the tapping signal effectively reduces the possibility of false triggering.
