Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a kitchen machine for at least partially automatically processing recipes and to a shopping assistance method for a user of the kitchen machine. Background Art

[0002] From the prior art it is known that even in individual households there is an increasing degree of automation in various areas of life. In particular, kitchen appliances are known which can assist the user by at least partially automating recipes. For this purpose it is known that such kitchen appliances can perform certain functions, such as heating up meals, based on user input. The integration of recipe programs into such kitchen appliances offers the advantage that recipes can be individually tailored to the conditions of the kitchen appliance and / or the user. It is desirable to further assist the user in other areas of life, also with regard to cooking.

[0003] For example, DE 10 2012 217 004 A1 discloses selecting a menu on a smartphone and creating a shopping list based on the menu. The menu is then transmitted to the cooking machine. However, in this case, for example, cooking machine data cannot be provided when planning the shopping list, because the planning is done externally. In addition, the shopping list creation function can only be used via an external preparation service, which in turn requires user registration, installation of additional software and / or other user measures. It is therefore desirable to provide such a function to the user along with the commissioning of the kitchen appliance. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is therefore to at least partially eliminate the disadvantages previously known from the prior art. In particular, the object of the present invention is to allow for extended support of the user in terms of his or her cooking in other areas of life, in particular here the functions available to the user should be simplified and preferably be available with the kitchen appliance.

[0005] The above tasks are accomplished by a kitchen machine according to the present application and a method according to the present application. Other features and details of the present invention are derived from the description and the drawings. Here, the features and details described with respect to the kitchen machine of the present invention are obviously also applicable in relation to the method of the present invention, and vice versa, so that with respect to the disclosure of some aspects of the invention, reference is always made to each other or can be made to each other.

[0006] According to the invention, a kitchen machine for at least partially automatically processing recipes has functional units for processing ingredients during recipe processing. In addition, the kitchen machine comprises a user interface for collecting user inputs and an integrated control unit, by means of which at least one recipe can be selected based on the user input and by means of which the motorized functional units can be controlled. The integrated control unit is then designed such that a recipe-specific list of ingredients for the at least one recipe can be determined and made available in a shopping list to an external receiving device via a device interface connected to the integrated control unit.

[0007] In particular, the kitchen machine is a kitchen machine for cooking meals. The electric functional unit preferably comprises an electric stirring device for mixing the ingredients and / or an electric heating element for heating the ingredients. Thus, several steps or all steps in processing a recipe can be preferably automatically performed by the functional unit. In order to collect user input, the user interface preferably comprises a display unit, in particular a touch screen and / or a knob. Thus, at least one recipe can be selected from a recipe collection (which can also be expanded, see below) by means of the user interface through user input. The external receiving device preferably comprises a mobile terminal device such as a smartphone, a tablet computer and / or the like. It is also conceivable that the external receiving device comprises a server storing a shopping list. At this point, it is also conceivable that the mobile terminal device is indirectly connected to the control unit in a communication manner, in which the shopping list data is first sent to the server, and the server provides the data to the mobile terminal device. In addition, the external receiving device can include a printer, which can be connected to the kitchen machine, for example, via an external device interface, so that the shopping list can be directly printed out and the user can carry the shopping list comfortably. The printer can advantageously be a wired printer, which can be connected to the kitchen machine, for example, via USB, thereby ensuring fast and reliable data transmission. Alternatively, it can be a wireless communication printer, i.e. with a WLAN interface or the like, which therefore also does not have to be in the immediate vicinity of the kitchen machine. Preferably, the printer can be connected to the device interface of the kitchen machine via a network. The device interface can include an interface for wireless communication and / or wired communication. In particular, the device interface can have a USB interface, a network interface and in particular a LAN interface or a WLAN interface, a mobile radio interface and in particular an LTE interface, a Bluetooth interface and / or the like.

[0008] An integrated control unit is in particular a control unit which is integrated into a kitchen appliance. It is conceivable that the integrated control unit is at least partially designed as an embedded system, in particular as an embedded operating system, and in particular here the integrated control unit may have circuits to perform the functions in accordance with the provisions. In order to determine a recipe-specific ingredient list and make it available to an external receiving device in a shopping list via an appliance interface, the integrated control unit preferably has an interface to a storage unit or a storage unit. Recipe-specific ingredient lists, shopping lists and / or recipes can be temporarily stored in the storage unit. The integrated control unit also preferably has a processor which is designed to execute a program process for determining a recipe-specific ingredient list, in particular by analyzing the recipe.

[0009] The shopping list can preferably contain and / or consist of an ingredient list. It is therefore conceivable that the shopping list can be supplemented by the user so that in addition to the ingredients of the recipe-specific ingredient list, other ingredients can be added to the shopping list manually or automatically. In addition, the shopping list can contain, for example, an ingredient classification, so that the user can more easily locate himself in the supermarket.

[0010] The kitchen appliance according to the invention thus provides a kitchen appliance which, due to the integrated control unit, forms a unit which is easily accessible to the user for making a shopping list. For example, it is not necessary for the user to make a shopping list on an external device, although a transfer to such a device is possible in order to carry the shopping list comfortably for shopping. Thus, when the kitchen appliance is put into use, the user also has the shopping list making function available without unnecessary steps or additional costs, wherein in particular device-specific data are provided in a simple manner without having to exchange data with a server. In particular, device-specific user data, environmental data and / or other data can thus also be taken into account when making an ingredient list and / or a shopping list.

[0011] It is also conceivable that, in the kitchen machine of the present invention, a shopping list can be made according to the predetermined packaging specifications of the ingredients by an integrated control unit. Preferably, the packaging specifications can be automatically obtained through the device interface. Therefore, it is conceivable that by determining the location, a nearby shopping place can be identified and a common or actual packaging specification can be retrieved at the shopping place. The predetermined packaging specification can especially refer to the common packaging specifications provided at the supermarket or the ordering service provider. The predetermined packaging specification can also especially be an individual packaging specification, which is predetermined by the user or can be obtained by a local supplier through an external device interface. Through the predetermined packaging specification, the user automatically finds guidance, which he can get further help in the supermarket and thus share the other parts of his shopping plan. In addition, the setting of the packaging specification can simplify or even allow the ingredients to be ordered automatically. In addition, the user can already see at a glance how many ingredients may have to be bought due to the minimum packaging specification when providing the shopping list, so that he can consider his other meal times in the plan.

[0012] Preferably, in the kitchen machine of the invention, a storage unit can be communicatively connected to the integrated control unit, in which at least selected recipes, a predetermined recipe collection and / or a shopping list can be stored. Thus, for example, multiple recipes can be selected successively or simultaneously and at least temporarily stored in the storage unit. The predetermined recipe collection can in particular already be stored in the storage unit, so that it is particularly available to the user for a long time. In particular, the integrated control unit can be communicatively connected to the storage unit. The storage unit can be an integrated storage unit or a storage unit connected to the kitchen machine. For example, it is conceivable that the storage unit is connected to the kitchen machine in the form of a USB stick or an SD card or the like. Thus, the storage unit is replaceable, for example, so that a replacement and / or expansion of the recipe collection can be realized even after the kitchen machine is put into use. Temporarily storing a shopping list in the storage unit can, for example, allow the shopping list to be continued to be used at a later time, so that it is supplemented with other ingredients for recipes. It is conceivable that the shopping list is called up on a certain weekday when the user goes shopping. It is also conceivable that the storage unit is part of an external server, which can be communicatively connected to the integrated control unit via a device interface. Thus, the storage location can be called up. Furthermore, the expansion of the recipe collection can be simplified, for example, by providing a server for providing recipes.

[0013] It can also be provided within the scope of the invention that the user interface comprises a display unit, by means of which a complete recipe and / or a recipe-specific ingredient list and / or a shopping list can be displayed. In particular, it can be provided that the display is in a multi-segmented form. Thus, the user can check the recipe-specific ingredient list and the shopping list on the device, which can then be transmitted in a complete state to an external receiving device. In particular, it can be provided that the display unit is designed as a touch screen and the shopping list and / or the recipe-specific ingredient list can be processed by the user via the display unit. For example, the user can delete an ingredient from the shopping list on the device if he already has an ingredient in stock and / or add another ingredient.

[0014] Preferably, in the kitchen appliance according to the invention, provision can be made for at least two recipes to be selected via the user interface, wherein for each recipe a recipe-specific ingredient list can be determined by the integrated control unit, wherein each recipe-specific ingredient list can be edited in a separate shopping list by the integrated control unit and / or the recipe-specific ingredient list can be incorporated into the shopping list by the integrated control unit. If there is a separate shopping list for the ingredient lists of several recipes, this has the advantage that the user can quickly see how much of each ingredient he should buy for all requirements during a single shopping trip. Thus, the shopping list can in particular contain the ingredients of several recipes or the sum of the ingredients of several recipe-specific ingredient lists. In particular, different packaging formats can also be taken into account here, so that, for example, a larger packaging of an individual ingredient may be sufficient for the requirements of two or more recipes. Two separate shopping lists have the advantage that the user can easily decide in the supermarket whether he wants to complete the shopping for a recipe or only wants to go shopping for another recipe and continue shopping for the first recipe at a later time.

[0015] Preferably, in the kitchen machine of the present invention, the integrated control unit can be designed to interpret the selected recipe in such a way that the recipe-specific ingredient list of the selected recipe is extracted. The interpretation can therefore include a text-based recipe analysis, wherein the recipe is divided into several blocks and / or several sentences and the ingredient names are identified, for example, based on an encyclopedia or a predetermined library and the required amounts can be allocated. It is also conceivable that the recipe has metadata that is provided for the recipe-specific ingredient list, so that only the metadata is read. It is also conceivable that the recipe contains instructions for the user and / or the kitchen machine, which are interpreted by the integrated control unit in terms of the ingredients. Such instructions can contain kitchen machine control instructions and / or text output and / or voice output to the user. The recipe can thus be simply designed. In addition, it may not be necessary to prepare a recipe specifically for the shopping list function. On the contrary, standard recipes that can be simply formulated can therefore also be used for this function.

[0016] It is also conceivable within the scope of the invention that the integrated control unit is designed to store a recipe history in the storage unit, wherein the recipe history contains the previously selected recipes and the ingredient requirements are determined by the integrated control unit for the shopping list from the recipe-specific ingredient list based on the recipe history and in particular based on the previously processed recipes. Thus, the recipe history can contain the previously selected, in particular previously executed recipes. It is conceivable that the user selects different recipes and stores them in the recipe history. In this way, a priority can be achieved in particular by the integrated control unit during the display, where the previously selected recipes in the recipe history are visually highlighted and / or displayed separately from other recipes. In addition, the recipe history can contain previously executed recipes, so that on the one hand, the user's attitude can be understood based on the recipe history, and on the other hand, the user's reserve can be determined based on the recipe history. If the user, for example, has previously prepared a shopping list based on the selected recipe, it can be provided that he processes the shopping list and stores this processing as an existing reserve, in particular in the storage unit. If he finally executes the corresponding recipe, the remaining reserve presented in the recipe history can be determined in particular based on the purchased packaging format. The existing ingredients can be used accordingly for the newly selected recipe and preferably are not incorporated into the shopping list from the recipe-specific ingredient list. Thus, the shopping utilization efficiency can be significantly improved.

[0017] It can also be provided within the scope of the invention that the selected recipe can be placed in a deactivated state by the integrated control unit and that the selected recipe is only switched to an activated state when the integrated control unit receives confirmation that the shopping list has been at least partially processed. In the deactivated state, the recipe is preferably not accessible to the user and / or is at least marked as deactivated. In the activated state, the recipe is preferably accessible to the user and / or is at least marked as activated. For example, activated recipes for which the required ingredients are available can be displayed to the user first. The user can thus see at a glance which recipes he can actually process using the kitchen appliance, thereby avoiding the mistaken activation of recipes for which it is only determined that a certain ingredient is insufficient at a later stage in the cooking process.

[0018] In the kitchen machine of the present invention, it can also be provided that the integrated control unit is designed to automatically convert the measurement units of the selected recipe ingredients for the shopping list according to the region, in particular, the region can be automatically determined by the integrated control unit. "Automatic determination of the region" can be performed by the device interface, for example, via the IP address. In addition or alternatively, a location determination unit can be provided, which can, for example, include a GPS sensor for determining the location data of the kitchen machine. The measurement unit can preferably refer to a quantity unit and / or a weight unit. It is therefore conceivable to determine the region "Germany" and the ingredient measurement units are indicated in the shopping list, in particular, according to SI units and / or local common shopping specifications. If the region "Great Britain" is selected, it can be automatically converted to the Anglo-American measurement system by the integrated control unit. As a supplement or alternative to the automatic determination of the region, it can be provided that the region is preset and / or can be preset by the user.

[0019] It is also conceivable that in the kitchen appliance according to the invention the integrated control unit is designed to automatically trigger the order by sending at least a part of the shopping list via the appliance interface. For example, the kitchen appliance can inform an external service provider by sending the part of the shopping list so that the order is automatically carried out. Thus, it may be sufficient for the user to select a recipe for which the ingredients are automatically ordered and delivered. This can further improve the availability of simple kitchen appliance functions and the user comfort.

[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, a shopping assistance method for a user of a kitchen machine, in particular the kitchen machine of the present invention, is claimed. The method comprises the following steps:

[0021] - Collect user input,

[0022] - determining at least one recipe selected by the user based on the list of ingredients input by the user by means of a control unit integrated into the kitchen appliance,

[0023] - determining, by means of the integrated control unit, a recipe-specific ingredient list for at least one selected recipe,

[0024] - preparation of a shopping list by the integrated control unit from at least a recipe-specific ingredient list,

[0025] -Send shopping lists to external receiving devices.

[0026] The method according to the invention thus brings the same advantages as have been explicitly described with respect to the kitchen machine according to the invention. The acquisition of the user input can preferably be carried out via the user interface of the kitchen machine. Furthermore, the determination of the selected recipe and the recipe-specific ingredient list can also be carried out via the integrated control unit. The sending of the shopping list preferably takes place via an interface connected to the integrated control unit. Thus, the user shopping aid is already available to the user when the kitchen machine is put into use, in particular he does not have to carry out a data matching with a server and / or its archives. In addition, he finds the function in the kitchen machine and thus at a central location. By sending the shopping list, the shopping list can also be provided to the user in a comfortable manner.

[0027] It is also conceivable within the scope of the invention that the method comprises the step of storing the selected recipe, the recipe-specific ingredient list and / or the shopping list.

[0028] The storage can preferably be carried out in a storage unit and can be temporary or long-term. This ensures that the data can be accessed later. This makes it possible, for example, to select multiple recipes one after the other or to change the ingredient list and / or shopping list later.

[0029] In the method according to the invention, it can also be provided that the determination of the recipe-specific ingredient list includes the interpretation of the recipe by the integrated control unit, so that the recipe-specific ingredient list of the selected recipe is extracted. In this case, for example, several individual text modules of the recipe are separated and assigned to the recipe-specific ingredient list. For this purpose, for example, a preferably individual recipe module (possibly text-based) recognition can be carried out. The “extraction” can be based on the recipe description, in particular the audiovisual description and / or the text description. Thus, for example, it may not be necessary to prepare the recipe specifically for the shopping list function.

[0030] Furthermore, it can be provided in the method according to the invention that at least two recipes selected by the user are determined based on one or more user inputs and that a recipe-specific ingredient list is determined for each selected recipe, wherein a separate shopping list is prepared for each recipe-specific ingredient list or the recipe-specific ingredient list is incorporated into the shopping list. Thus, a separate shopping list can be used by the user for shopping in order to cover a plurality of recipes by shopping. Alternatively, a separate shopping list can be provided for each recipe in order to also be able to distinguish between recipes in a supermarket, for example.

[0031] It is also conceivable within the scope of the present invention that the method comprises the steps of:

[0032] -Store recipe history containing previously selected recipes,

[0033] - Use recipe history to determine ingredient requirements for your shopping list from recipe-specific ingredient lists.

[0034] For example, the recipe history can be stored each time a new recipe is selected and / or processed by the user. Thus, the ingredient requirements can be determined based on the recipe history, in particular in combination with the user's past shopping behavior. Thus, for example, a reserve can be calculated from the recipe-specific ingredient list of the newly selected recipe in order to keep the shopping list up to date. This allows for optimal use of ingredients and / or shopping time.

[0035] It is also conceivable that the method according to the invention comprises the step of automatically converting the measurement units of the ingredients of the selected recipe for the shopping list according to the region, in particular here the automatic determination of the region is carried out by the integrated control unit. Thus, the measurement units of the ingredients can be set directly for the needs of the user when shopping and the kitchen appliance can be adapted for use in different countries and / or regions. The automatic conversion can preferably also be carried out by the integrated control unit, so that the method steps are also carried out directly in the kitchen appliance. The "automatic determination of the region" can be carried out by determining the user's IP address, location, language settings, user identification, etc.

[0036] Preferably in the method of the present invention, the method may comprise the step of automatically triggering the ordering of ingredients of at least a portion of the shopping list.

[0037] The entire shopping list can preferably be sent to an external service provider to automatically trigger the order. For this purpose, in particular, a user confirmation can be obtained in advance, so that the order should be triggered. Thus, the user can receive further automated support for his shopping behavior, especially when the order leads to the delivery service provider providing the required ingredients.

[0038] It may also be provided within the scope of the invention that the method comprises the step of carrying out an automatic cooking process in accordance with the selected recipe, in particular after a confirmation regarding at least partial processing of the shopping list.

[0039] Therefore, it may be preferred to require a confirmation about at least part of the processing of the shopping list in order to manually start the automatic cooking process. The automatic cooking process may include setting a number of recipe cooking steps to be performed by the kitchen machine. Furthermore, the automatic cooking process may include setting prescribed operating parameters for the next cooking portion, which is only started by the user, for example via the user interface. Shopping can thereby be tied to the cooking process in a simple manner, so that the user obtains at least one warning when not all ingredients have been bought and / or not recorded. The confirmation can be done automatically, for example, when the shopping list is completed, or manually, by warning the user when he wants to start the cooking process but has not yet recorded all shopping.

[0040] The above-mentioned method steps can be performed in any order or in the order described. In particular, some steps or all method steps can be repeated. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] Further advantages, features and details of the invention are derived from the following description of embodiments of the invention, which is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The features described in the description may be important for the invention individually or in any combination, wherein:

[0042] Figure 1a and Figure 1b A first embodiment of the kitchen machine of the present invention is shown in a schematic diagram.

[0043] Figure 2 The data structure of the integrated control unit of the kitchen machine of the present invention in the first embodiment is shown in a schematic diagram.

[0044] Figure 3 The schematic diagram shows different recipe states in another embodiment of the kitchen machine of the present invention.

[0045] Figure 4 A further exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention is shown schematically in the form of method steps. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In the following figures, the same reference numerals are used for the same technical features even in different exemplary embodiments.

[0047] Figure 1a and Figure 1b A kitchen machine 1 according to the invention is shown for at least partially automating the processing of a recipe 10. To this end, the kitchen machine 1 has a cooking vessel 5 for accommodating ingredients 11 and a functional unit 2 for processing the ingredients 11 when processing the recipe 10. The functional unit 2 comprises an electric heating element 2.1 and an electric stirring device 2.2. By means of the heating element 2.1, the ingredients 11 can be heated in the cooking vessel 5 of the kitchen machine 1, and by means of the stirring device 2.2, the ingredients 11 can be broken and / or mixed. Here, the functional unit 2 can be controlled by means of an integrated control unit 4, whereby the recipe 10 can be processed at least partially automatically. To this end, the integrated control unit 4 is also connected in communication with a user interface 3 to collect user inputs 101.1. The user interface 3 comprises a display unit 3.1 and a knob 3.2, so that the user inputs 101.1 can be provided to the integrated control unit 4. In addition, the integrated control unit 4 is connected to a storage unit 7, in which data can be stored. In the embodiment shown, the storage unit 7 is an integrated storage unit. However, it is conceivable that the storage unit 7 comprises a memory chip that can be detachably connected to the kitchen machine 1, or comprises a server that is communicatively connected to the kitchen machine 1 via the device interface 6. In this way, data can be transmitted or can be carried and / or exchanged by the user. In addition, the device interface 6 is connected to the integrated control unit 4, so that the integrated control unit 4 can be communicatively connected to the external receiving device 9. For this purpose, the device interface 6 can be a network interface, a Bluetooth interface, etc. The integrated control unit 4 is also designed so that at least one recipe-specific ingredient list 20 of the recipe 10 selected by the user can be determined and provided to the external receiving device 9 via the device interface 6 in the shopping list 30.

[0048] Figure 2A schematic diagram of a data structure for preparing a shopping list 30 by the integrated control unit 4 is shown. A recipe collection 40 is provided here, which is preferably stored in the memory unit 7. The recipe collection 40 includes a plurality of recipes 10, from which the user can select, for example, two recipes 10 by means of a user input 101.1. The recipes 10 here have different recipe items 10.1, which can contain information about the user, operating parameters and / or the like of the kitchen appliance 1. In order to prepare a recipe-specific ingredient list 20 for each selected recipe 10, the recipe 10 is read by the integrated control unit 4, wherein the recipe items 10.1 containing the ingredients 11 are isolated and finally some ingredients 11 are selected from the respective recipe items 10.1. In particular, each individual ingredient list 20 can contain a name 11.1 and a quantity 11.2 for each ingredient 11, wherein each quantity 11.2 is assigned to a name 11.1. The quantity 11.2 can be specified in a specified unit of measure. The recipe-specific ingredient list 20 is preferably finally combined into a single shopping list 30, in which a shopping location 30.1 and a shopping quantity 30.2 are assigned to each required ingredient 11. Preferably, each ingredient 11 can also be assigned a required packaging format 31, which can in particular be greater than or equal to the shopping quantity 30.2. If the user's existing stock is also to be taken into account, a stock-specific ingredient list 21 can be drawn up, which is taken into account by the integrated control unit 4 of the kitchen machine 1 when preparing the shopping list 30. For this purpose, the stock-specific ingredient list 21 and the recipe-specific ingredient list 20 can each contain a plurality of ingredients 11, which are stored with their respective names 11.1 and quantities 11.2. In particular, the stock-specific ingredient list 21 can be stored in the storage unit 7 and called up by the integrated control unit 4. However, unlike the recipe-specific ingredient list 20, the entry of the stock-specific ingredient list 21 leads to a reduction in the quantity in the shopping list 30, so that the stocked ingredients 11 do not need to be purchased and are therefore not presented in the shopping list 30. Thus, the required quantity 22 of a given ingredient 11 can be determined from the reserve-specific ingredient list 21, which in particular differs from the quantity entry of the recipe-specific ingredient list 20. The reserve-specific ingredient list 21 can in particular come from a recipe history 41, in which recipes 10 previously selected and / or previously completed by the user can be stored. In particular, the previous processing of an earlier shopping list 30 or an earlier version of a shopping list 30 can be taken into account. The shopping list 30 can then be sent by the integrated control unit 4 via the device interface 6 to the external receiving device 9.

[0049] Figure 3Also shown are different states I and II of a recipe 10 that can be captured by the integrated control unit 4. It is thus conceivable that a recipe 10 is transferred to the inactive state I after selection by a user input 101.1. If a confirmation 109 is also made regarding the processing of a shopping list 30 for each recipe 10, provision is made for it to be transferred to the active state II. The active state II may include highlighting the recipe 10 on the display 3.1 of the kitchen machine 1. The user can thereby quickly determine for which recipe 10 he has already purchased all the required ingredients 11. The confirmation 109 may be made, for example, via the appliance interface 6 of the kitchen machine 1, wherein the external receiving device 9 preferably sends a confirmation to the kitchen machine 1. If, for example, the user wishes to call up a recipe 10 in the inactive state I in order to execute it, provision may be made for an alarm to be issued and for the user to first manually confirm that all the ingredients 11 are present.

[0050] Figure 4The method 100 of the invention is also shown as a schematic diagram of the method steps. In this case, the acquisition 101 of a user input 101.1 is first provided, by which the user selects a recipe 10. The selection of the recipe 10 at the data level is then carried out by the integrated control unit 4 of the kitchen appliance 1 with the aid of the determination 102 of at least one recipe 10 selected by the user. In this view, two user inputs 101.1 and thus two recipes 10 are determined 102. Depending on each selected recipe 10, a recipe-specific ingredient list 20 is also determined 103, wherein the recipe 10 is interpreted by the integrated control unit 4 in each case to produce a recipe-specific ingredient list 20. The interpretation 103.1 can, for example, include a decomposition of the recipe 10 into text modules and / or result in the identification 103 of the ingredients 11 from the metadata of the recipe 10. Subsequently, a shopping list 30 is produced 104 by the integrated control unit 4 from the recipe-specific ingredient list 20. For the preparation of the shopping list 30, a determination 104.2 of the region can also be performed, followed by a conversion 104.1 of the measurement units of the recipe-specific ingredient list 20. If, for example, the recipe 10 is prepared in the SI unit system but the region "Great Britain" is determined, a unit conversion to the Anglo-American unit system can be automatically performed so that the correct shopping quantities are automatically displayed to the user. In addition, a determination 107 of the required quantities 22 of the ingredients 11 can be performed for the shopping list 30 based on the recipe history 41. Thus, for example, the ingredient reserve quantities can be subtracted from the recipe-specific ingredient list 20 to prepare the shopping list 30. Preferably, the selected recipe 10, the recipe-specific ingredient list 20 and / or the shopping list 30 can be made available for a later time in the storage unit 7 by means of storage 105. The shopping list 30 can then be sent 108 to an external receiving device 9 in order to provide the shopping list 30 to the user. The external receiving device 9 can include, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a server, a computer, etc. In particular, the sending 108 of the shopping list 30 may include triggering 108.1 an order, wherein the shopping list 30 may be at least partially sent to a supply service provider in order to automatically allow the user to place an order. By means of the automatic ordering and / or manual user input 101.1, a confirmation 109 may also be given regarding the processing of the shopping list 30, which may preferably be necessary for the automatic cooking process of executing the recipes 10. When executing 110 one of the recipes 10, the state stored 106 in the recipe history 41 may be recorded so that the required quantity 22 can be updated as a function of the consumed ingredients 11. In the present exemplary embodiment, the shopping list 30 is shown as a separate shopping list, but it is also conceivable here, in addition or as an alternative, to prepare a separate shopping list for each recipe 10, so that the user can use different shopping lists for separate recipes. It is also conceivable that the following steps are executed on the kitchen machine 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 Method 100 is shown.

[0051] The above description of the embodiments describes the invention only within the scope of examples. Obviously, some features of the embodiments described can be combined freely with each other as long as it makes technical sense, without leaving the scope of the invention.
