Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of data processing technology, and more specifically, to a control method, device, medium, program product, and temperature detection device for a base. Background Technology

[0002] In the relevant technical solutions, users use temperature probes to obtain the internal temperature of food, and then use the temperature measured by the temperature probes to guide the cooking of the food.

[0003] However, during the use of temperature probes, it is very easy to find situations where the operating parameters of the temperature probe are not set, and the temperature probe is directly inserted into the food and placed into the cooking equipment.

[0004] When the above situation occurs, the temperature probe will not work and will not be able to provide guidance for cooking the ingredients. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0006] Therefore, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling a base.

[0007] A second aspect of the invention is that a control device for a base is provided.

[0008] A third aspect of the invention is that it provides another control device for the base.

[0009] A fourth aspect of the present invention is that a readable storage medium is provided.

[0010] A fifth aspect of the present invention is that a computer program product is provided.

[0011] A sixth aspect of the invention is that a base is provided.

[0012] A seventh aspect of the present invention is that a temperature detection device is provided.

[0013] In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a control method for a base, the base being adapted to house a temperature probe and receive temperature data from the temperature probe, the control method for the base comprising: powering on and starting operation when the temperature probe is detected to be separated from the base; and entering a display mode when the change value of the temperature data is detected to be greater than or equal to a first temperature difference threshold or the duration of the base's power-on operation is greater than or equal to a first duration; wherein, in the display mode, the temperature data displayed on the base is updated synchronously with the temperature data.

[0014] The technical solution of this application proposes a control method for a base. By running the above control method, the base can be automatically turned on when a temperature probe is used, and then run according to a pre-set display mode.

[0015] During this process, even if the user forgets to set the temperature probe, it can automatically turn on and display the measured temperature data, reducing the chance of the temperature probe failing to function properly due to the user forgetting to operate it.

[0016] In addition, the control method for the base proposed in this application has the following additional technical features.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the temperature data includes the initial temperature and the current temperature, and the control method of the base also includes: when the difference between the current temperature and the initial temperature increases by a first temperature difference, outputting a first reminder message.

[0018] In this technical solution, the initial temperature can be the first temperature detected when the temperature probe starts working, and the current temperature is the temperature detected by the temperature probe at the current moment.

[0019] In the above technical solution, by outputting a first reminder message, the user is informed of the temperature changes inside the food during the cooking process, and thus controls the cooking of the food based on the first reminder message.

[0020] In the above technical solution, after the device is powered on and running, before entering the display mode, if the detected temperature data change value is greater than or equal to the first temperature difference threshold or the duration of the base's power-on operation is greater than or equal to the first duration, the following steps are included: determining whether a set cooking target has been received; if a set cooking target has been received and the received temperature data matches the cooking target, outputting a second reminder message; if no set cooking target has been received, comparing the temperature data change value with the first temperature difference threshold and comparing the duration with the first duration; wherein, when the cooking device used in conjunction with the temperature probe and the base receives the second reminder message, the heating element of the cooking device stops operating.

[0021] In this technical solution, by determining whether a set cooking goal has been received, a second reminder message can be output based on the set cooking goal if the set cooking goal has been received.

[0022] During this process, users can use the base to implement customized reminders or alerts.

[0023] Specifically, whether or not the set cooking target is received is used as the criterion for determining the operation display mode or outputting a second reminder message, so that the base can execute different schemes according to whether the user operates it, so as to ensure the automatic control of the base while realizing user-customized control.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the cooking target includes a cooking menu, and the cooking menu is associated with a target cooking temperature; or the cooking target includes a target cooking temperature; wherein, when the temperature data reaches the target cooking temperature, the temperature data matches the cooking target.

[0025] This technical solution specifically defines the possible forms of the cooking target, which can be selected according to actual usage needs, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0026] The above technical solution also includes: exiting the display mode when the duration is greater than or equal to the second duration and the temperature data fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the third duration; wherein the second duration is greater than the first duration.

[0027] In this technical solution, the conditions for the base to exit the display mode are defined. During this process, the base can exit the display mode according to the actual usage scenario, thereby controlling the display screen in the base to turn off, so as to reduce the power consumption of the base.

[0028] In the above technical solution, if the temperature data fluctuation value remains within a certain range, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable. Based on this, the technical solution of this application introduces a second temperature difference threshold so as to use the second temperature difference threshold to measure the temperature data fluctuation. If the fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable, and the display mode is exited at this time.

[0029] Considering that the internal temperature of the food remains constant for a period of time in the early stages of the temperature probe being inserted into the food, that is, in the early stages of cooking, the above method may lead to misjudgment.

[0030] By limiting the second duration, potential misjudgments by the base that may occur during the initial cooking stage of the ingredients can be avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of exiting the display mode.

[0031] The above technical solution also includes: if the temperature data fluctuation value is greater than the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period, the display mode is entered again; if the temperature data fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period, the machine is shut down and operation is stopped.

[0032] In this technical solution, the base can re-enter the display mode or shut down and stop operating based on the above judgment conditions, so as to adapt to changes in actual usage scenarios.

[0033] By controlling the base to shut down and stop operation, the power consumption of the base is reduced, thereby achieving energy saving.

[0034] In the above technical solution, before shutting down and stopping operation, it also includes: outputting a third reminder message to retract the temperature probe onto the base.

[0035] In this technical solution, a third reminder message is output to guide the user to properly store the temperature probe, thereby reducing the chance of the temperature probe being lost. This makes it easier to store the probe in the base and charge it using the base.

[0036] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a control device for a base, the base being adapted to house a temperature probe and receive temperature data from the temperature probe, the control device comprising: a detection unit for starting operation when the temperature probe is detected to be separated from the base; and a control unit for entering a display mode when the change value of the temperature data is greater than or equal to a first temperature difference threshold or the duration of the base's start-up operation is greater than or equal to a first duration; wherein, in the display mode, the temperature data displayed on the base is updated synchronously with the temperature data.

[0037] The technical solution of this application proposes a control device for a base, which can automatically power on the base and operate it according to a preset display mode when a temperature probe is used.

[0038] During this process, even if the user forgets to set the temperature probe, it can automatically turn on and display the measured temperature data, reducing the chance of the temperature probe failing to function properly due to the user forgetting to operate it.

[0039] In addition, the control device for the base proposed in this application has the following additional technical features.

[0040] In the above technical solution, the temperature data includes the initial temperature and the current temperature. The control unit is also used to output a first reminder message when the difference between the current temperature and the initial temperature increases by a first temperature difference.

[0041] In this technical solution, the initial temperature can be the first temperature detected when the temperature probe starts working, and the current temperature is the temperature detected by the temperature probe at the current moment.

[0042] In the above technical solution, by outputting a first reminder message, the user is informed of the temperature changes inside the food during the cooking process, and thus controls the cooking of the food based on the first reminder message.

[0043] In the above technical solution, the control unit is further configured to: determine whether a set cooking target has been received; output a second reminder message when the set cooking target has been received and the received temperature data matches the cooking target; and compare the change value of the temperature data with a first temperature difference threshold and the duration with a first duration when the set cooking target has not been received. In this case, the heating element of the cooking device, which is used in conjunction with the temperature probe and the base, stops operating when the second reminder message is received.

[0044] In this technical solution, by determining whether a set cooking goal has been received, a second reminder message can be output based on the set cooking goal if the set cooking goal has been received.

[0045] During this process, users can use the base to implement customized reminders or alerts.

[0046] Specifically, whether or not the set cooking target is received is used as the criterion for determining the operation display mode or outputting a second reminder message, so that the base can execute different schemes according to whether the user operates it, so as to ensure the automatic control of the base while realizing user-customized control.

[0047] In the above technical solution, the cooking target includes a cooking menu, and the cooking menu is associated with a target cooking temperature; or the cooking target includes a target cooking temperature; wherein, when the temperature data reaches the target cooking temperature, the temperature data matches the cooking target.

[0048] This technical solution specifically defines the possible forms of the cooking target, which can be selected according to actual usage needs, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0049] In the above technical solution, the control unit is further configured to: exit the display mode when the duration is greater than or equal to the second duration and the fluctuation value of the temperature data is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the third duration; wherein the second duration is greater than the first duration.

[0050] In this technical solution, the conditions for the base to exit the display mode are defined. During this process, the base can exit the display mode according to the actual usage scenario, thereby controlling the display screen in the base to turn off, so as to reduce the power consumption of the base.

[0051] In the above technical solution, if the temperature data fluctuation value remains within a certain range, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable. Based on this, the technical solution of this application introduces a second temperature difference threshold so as to use the second temperature difference threshold to measure the temperature data fluctuation. If the fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable, and the display mode is exited at this time.

[0052] Considering that the internal temperature of the food remains constant for a period of time in the early stages of the temperature probe being inserted into the food, that is, in the early stages of cooking, the above method may lead to misjudgment.

[0053] By limiting the second duration, potential misjudgments by the base that may occur during the initial cooking stage of the ingredients can be avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of exiting the display mode.

[0054] In the above technical solution, the control unit is also used to: re-enter the display mode if the temperature data fluctuation value is greater than the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period; and shut down and stop operation if the temperature data fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period.

[0055] In this technical solution, the base can re-enter the display mode or shut down and stop operating based on the above judgment conditions, so as to adapt to changes in actual usage scenarios.

[0076] To better understand the above aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0077] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0078] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a control method for a base is provided. The base is suitable for housing a temperature probe and receiving temperature data from the temperature probe. The control method for the base includes:

[0079] Step 102: If the temperature probe is detected to have separated from the base, power on and start running.

[0080] Step 104: If the temperature data change value is greater than or equal to the first temperature difference threshold or the duration of the base's startup operation is greater than or equal to the first duration, enter the display mode.

[0081] In display mode, the temperature data displayed on the base is updated synchronously with the actual temperature data.

[0082] The embodiments of this application propose a control method for a base. By running the above control method, the base can be automatically turned on and run according to a preset display mode when a temperature probe is used.

[0083] During this process, even if the user forgets to set the temperature probe, it can automatically turn on and display the measured temperature data, reducing the chance of the temperature probe failing to function properly due to the user forgetting to operate it.

[0084] In the above embodiments, when the temperature probe is not in use, it can be stored in the base so that the base can charge the temperature probe to maintain its battery life.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the temperature probe is separated from the base, which can be understood as the temperature probe being removed from the base. Specifically, the base has a groove for receiving the temperature probe, and a sensor is installed in the groove. When the temperature probe is received on the base, the data detected by the sensor is the first data; conversely, when the temperature probe is not received on the base, the data detected by the sensor is the second data. Based on this, it can be determined whether the temperature probe is received based on the data detected by the sensor.

[0086] In one embodiment, the sensor may be a Hall sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like.

[0087] In the above embodiments, the change value of temperature data can be understood as the difference between the data before and after the time sorting in the temperature data. For example, if the temperature data includes the first data that is earlier in time and the second data that is later in time, then the change value can be the absolute difference between the first data and the second data.

[0088] In one embodiment, the time difference between the first data and the second data is one or more time units, such as 5 seconds, 15 seconds, or 1 minute.

[0089] In one embodiment, timing begins when the base is powered on and running, so as to obtain the duration of the base's power-on and running operation.

[0090] In the above embodiments, synchronous updates can be understood as the temperature data displayed on the base changing along with the temperature data when the temperature data changes.

[0091] In one embodiment, upon detecting that the temperature probe has separated from the base, the device is powered on and started operating after a certain delay.

[0092] The specific duration can be a pre-set duration, such as 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or 10 seconds, in order to eliminate the possibility of the base being turned on accidentally due to poor contact between the temperature probe and the base.

[0093] In the above embodiments, the temperature data includes the initial temperature and the current temperature, and the control method of the base further includes: outputting a first reminder message when the difference between the current temperature and the initial temperature increases by a first temperature difference.

[0094] In this embodiment, the initial temperature can be the first temperature detected when the temperature probe starts working, and the current temperature is the temperature detected by the temperature probe at the current moment.

[0095] In the above embodiments, by outputting a first reminder message, the user is informed of the temperature changes inside the ingredients during the cooking process, and thus controls the cooking of the ingredients based on the first reminder message.

[0096] In the above embodiments, the first reminder information may be a sound reminder, a light reminder, or a text reminder, or a combination of the above reminders, which can be selected according to actual usage needs.

[0097] In the above embodiments, the first temperature difference can be selected according to actual usage needs, such as 3 degrees Celsius, 5 degrees Celsius, 10 degrees Celsius, etc.

[0098] In the above embodiment, when the first reminder message is output, the current temperature is displayed according to a preset display method. In this process, selecting the preset display method can increase the likelihood that the user will notice the current temperature.

[0099] The preset display methods can be flashing the current temperature, displaying the current temperature using different contrast levels, or highlighting the current temperature.

[0100] High-brightness display can be understood as turning on the backlight of the display screen on the base to increase the display screen's brightness.

[0101] In the above embodiments, the setting of the first reminder information also facilitates reminding the user to set the base, thereby enabling the temperature probe to function.

[0102] In one embodiment, the base internally stores a menu with at least one cooking interruption target between the lowest and highest temperatures, each cooking interruption target being the same as the temperature value reached for each increase in the first temperature difference.

[0103] In the above embodiment, after power-on and before entering the display mode, if the detected temperature data change value is greater than or equal to the first temperature difference threshold or the duration of the base's power-on and operation is greater than or equal to the first duration, the method further includes: determining whether a set cooking target has been received; if a set cooking target has been received and the received temperature data matches the cooking target, outputting a second reminder message; if no set cooking target has been received, comparing the temperature data change value with the first temperature difference threshold and comparing the duration with the first duration; wherein, when the cooking device used in conjunction with the temperature probe and the base receives the second reminder message, the heating element of the cooking device stops operating.

[0104] In this embodiment, by determining whether a set cooking goal has been received, a second reminder message can be output based on the set cooking goal if the set cooking goal has been received.

[0105] During this process, users can use the base to implement customized reminders or alerts.

[0106] Specifically, whether or not the set cooking target is received is used as the criterion for determining the operation display mode or outputting a second reminder message, so that the base can execute different schemes according to whether the user operates it, so as to ensure the automatic control of the base while realizing user-customized control.

[0107] In the above embodiment, after the device is powered on and started running, a timer is started. If the set cooking target is not received before the duration of the device's operation reaches the first time, it is determined that the set cooking target has not been received. Conversely, if the set cooking target is received before the duration of the device's operation reaches the first time, it is considered that the set cooking target has been received.

[0108] In the above embodiments, the second reminder information can be a sound reminder, a light reminder, or a text reminder, or a combination of the above reminders, which can be selected according to actual usage needs.

[0109] In the above embodiments, the cooking target includes a cooking menu, which is associated with a target cooking temperature; or the cooking target includes a target cooking temperature; wherein, when the temperature data reaches the target cooking temperature, the temperature data matches the cooking target.

[0110] In this embodiment, the possible forms of the cooking target are specifically defined, which can be selected according to actual use needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0111] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control methods for the base include:

[0112] Step 202: Determine if the temperature probe has been removed. If the determination result is yes, proceed to step 204; if the determination result is no, proceed to step 202.

[0113] Step 204: Automatic power-on after 5 seconds;

[0114] Step 206: Determine whether to customize the cooking goal. If the result is yes, proceed to step 208; if the result is no, proceed to step 210.

[0115] Step 208: After setting the recipe details, cooking continues;

[0116] Step 210: The temperature probe shows a temperature change of 5 degrees Celsius or has been powered on for 1 minute;

[0117] Step 212: Automatically connect to the temperature probe for data transmission, enter display mode, and display the real-time temperature;

[0118] Step 214: The internal storage menu sets the lowest temperature point to the highest temperature point, with each 10-degree Celsius interval serving as a cooking interval target. The temperature will be displayed and accompanied by an audio prompt each time a target is reached.

[0119] Step 216: The user detects that the target temperature has been reached and stops heating.

[0120] In the above embodiments, the method further includes: exiting the display mode when the duration is greater than or equal to the second duration and the temperature data fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the third duration; wherein the second duration is greater than the first duration.

[0121] In this embodiment, the conditions for the base to exit the display mode are defined. During this process, the base can exit the display mode according to the actual usage scenario, thereby controlling the display screen in the base to turn off, so as to reduce the power consumption of the base.

[0122] In the above embodiments, when the temperature data fluctuation value remains within a certain range, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable. Based on this, the embodiments of this application introduce a second temperature difference threshold so as to use the second temperature difference threshold to measure the temperature data fluctuation. If the fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable, and the display mode is exited at this time.

[0123] Considering that the internal temperature of the food remains constant for a period of time in the early stages of the temperature probe being inserted into the food, that is, in the early stages of cooking, the above method may lead to misjudgment.

[0124] By limiting the second duration, potential misjudgments by the base that may occur during the initial cooking stage of the ingredients can be avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of exiting the display mode.

[0125] In one embodiment, the second duration is 30 minutes, or it could be 25 minutes, or 45 minutes, etc., and can be selected according to actual usage needs.

[0126] In one embodiment, the second temperature difference threshold is 3 degrees Celsius, or it can be 5 degrees Celsius, or it can be 8 degrees Celsius.

[0127] In the above embodiments, the method further includes: if the temperature data fluctuation value is greater than the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period, re-entering the display mode; and if the temperature data fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period, shutting down and stopping operation.

[0128] In this embodiment, the base can re-enter the display mode or shut down and stop operating based on the above judgment conditions, so as to adapt to changes in actual usage scenarios.

[0129] The fourth duration can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 8 minutes, depending on the actual usage needs.

[0130] By controlling the base to shut down and stop operation, the power consumption of the base is reduced, thereby achieving energy saving.

[0131] In the above embodiment, before shutting down and stopping operation, it also includes: outputting a third reminder message to store the temperature probe on the base.

[0132] In this embodiment, by outputting a third reminder message, the user is guided to properly store the temperature probe, thereby reducing the chance of the temperature probe being lost, so that it can be stored in the base and charged using the base.

[0133] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control methods for the base include:

[0134] Step 302: 30 minutes after power-on, if the temperature change of the temperature probe is less than 3 degrees Celsius, the temperature probe will automatically disconnect from the display screen.

[0135] Step 304: If the temperature change exceeds 3 degrees Celsius within 5 minutes, proceed to step 306 if the judgment result is yes, and proceed to step 308 if the judgment result is no.

[0136] Step 306: The temperature probe automatically connects to the display screen;

[0137] Step 308: Power off the device and remind the user to return the temperature probe to the base.

[0138] In one embodiment, the probe's power-on procedure involves the user taking out the probe and inserting it directly into a large piece of beef. After 5 seconds, it automatically powers on without any operation on the probe base controller. The probe detects temperature changes and automatically records the temperature change process. It emits a beep every 10°C increase to remind the user of the meat's temperature. When the user realizes that they have not set the basic cooking parameters, they will set the target temperature on the base controller. At this time, the base's temperature record will predict the remaining time and issue a temperature alarm based on the previous temperature rise, guiding the user on the remaining cooking time and current temperature.

[0139] In one embodiment, the shutdown procedure is as follows: after cooking, if the user does not place the probe on the base, a beep will sound every 5 minutes to remind the user that the probe has not been placed in the box. If the probe does not detect a temperature change after half an hour, the base will automatically shut down to save energy.

[0140] In one embodiment, the normal power-on / power-off procedure is followed. After powering on, the probe is removed, the cooking ingredients / target temperature is set, and cooking begins. The probe base continuously calculates the cooking temperature and obtains the remaining countdown time. Once the target temperature is reached, cooking ends. The probe is removed, and the user turns off the base. However, if cooking is needed and the user forgets to turn it back on, the probe is inserted into the meat, detects the temperature change, and the base automatically turns on.

[0141] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a base control device 400. The base is suitable for housing a temperature probe and receiving temperature data from the temperature probe. The base control device 400 includes: a detection unit 402, used to start operation when the temperature probe is detected to be separated from the base; and a control unit 404, used to enter a display mode when the change value of the temperature data is greater than or equal to a first temperature difference threshold or the duration of the base's start-up operation is greater than or equal to a first duration. In the display mode, the temperature data displayed on the base is updated synchronously with the temperature data.

[0142] The embodiments of this application propose a base control device 400, which can automatically power on the base and operate it according to a preset display mode when a temperature probe is used.

[0143] During this process, even if the user forgets to set the temperature probe, it can automatically turn on and display the measured temperature data, reducing the chance of the temperature probe failing to function properly due to the user forgetting to operate it.

[0144] In the above embodiments, when the temperature probe is not in use, it can be stored in the base so that the base can charge the temperature probe to maintain its battery life.

[0145] In the above embodiment, the temperature probe is separated from the base, which can be understood as the temperature probe being removed from the base. Specifically, the base has a groove for receiving the temperature probe, and a sensor is installed in the groove. When the temperature probe is received on the base, the data detected by the sensor is the first data; conversely, when the temperature probe is not received on the base, the data detected by the sensor is the second data. Based on this, it can be determined whether the temperature probe is received based on the data detected by the sensor.

[0146] In one embodiment, the sensor may be a Hall sensor, an infrared sensor, or the like.

[0147] In the above embodiments, the change value of temperature data can be understood as the difference between the data before and after the time sorting in the temperature data. For example, if the temperature data includes the first data that is earlier in time and the second data that is later in time, then the change value can be the absolute difference between the first data and the second data.

[0148] In one embodiment, the time difference between the first data and the second data is one or more time units, such as 5 seconds, 15 seconds, or 1 minute.

[0149] In one embodiment, timing begins when the base is powered on and running, so as to obtain the duration of the base's power-on and running operation.

[0150] In the above embodiments, synchronous updates can be understood as the temperature data displayed on the base changing along with the temperature data when the temperature data changes.

[0151] In the above embodiment, the temperature data includes the initial temperature and the current temperature. The control unit 404 is also used to output a first reminder message when the difference between the current temperature and the initial temperature increases by a first temperature difference.

[0152] In this embodiment, the initial temperature can be the first temperature detected when the temperature probe starts working, and the current temperature is the temperature detected by the temperature probe at the current moment.

[0153] In the above embodiments, by outputting a first reminder message, the user is informed of the temperature changes inside the ingredients during the cooking process, and thus controls the cooking of the ingredients based on the first reminder message.

[0154] In the above embodiments, the first reminder information may be a sound reminder, a light reminder, or a text reminder, or a combination of the above reminders, which can be selected according to actual usage needs.

[0155] In the above embodiments, the first temperature difference can be selected according to actual usage needs, such as 3 degrees Celsius, 5 degrees Celsius, 10 degrees Celsius, etc.

[0156] In the above embodiment, when the first reminder message is output, the current temperature is displayed according to a preset display method. In this process, selecting the preset display method can increase the likelihood that the user will notice the current temperature.

[0157] The preset display methods can be flashing the current temperature, displaying the current temperature using different contrast levels, or highlighting the current temperature.

[0158] High-brightness display can be understood as turning on the backlight of the display screen on the base to increase the display screen's brightness.

[0159] In the above embodiments, the setting of the first reminder information also facilitates reminding the user to set the base, thereby enabling the temperature probe to function.

[0160] In the above embodiment, the control unit 404 is further configured to: determine whether a set cooking target has been received; output a second reminder message if a set cooking target has been received and the received temperature data matches the cooking target; and compare the change value of the temperature data with a first temperature difference threshold and the duration with a first duration if a set cooking target has not been received. The heating element of the cooking device, which is used in conjunction with the temperature probe and the base, stops operating when the second reminder message is received.

[0161] In this embodiment, by determining whether a set cooking goal has been received, a second reminder message can be output based on the set cooking goal if the set cooking goal has been received.

[0162] During this process, users can use the base to implement customized reminders or alerts.

[0163] Specifically, whether or not the set cooking target is received is used as the criterion for determining the operation display mode or outputting a second reminder message, so that the base can execute different schemes according to whether the user operates it, so as to ensure the automatic control of the base while realizing user-customized control.

[0164] In the above embodiment, after the device is powered on and started running, a timer is started. If the set cooking target is not received before the duration of the device's operation reaches the first time, it is determined that the set cooking target has not been received. Conversely, if the set cooking target is received before the duration of the device's operation reaches the first time, it is considered that the set cooking target has been received.

[0165] In the above embodiments, the second reminder information can be a sound reminder, a light reminder, or a text reminder, or a combination of the above reminders, which can be selected according to actual usage needs.

[0166] In the above embodiments, the cooking target includes a cooking menu, which is associated with a target cooking temperature; or the cooking target includes a target cooking temperature; wherein, when the temperature data reaches the target cooking temperature, the temperature data matches the cooking target.

[0167] In this embodiment, the possible forms of the cooking target are specifically defined, which can be selected according to actual use needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0168] In the above embodiment, the control unit 404 is further configured to: exit the display mode when the duration is greater than or equal to the second duration and the fluctuation value of the temperature data is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the third duration; wherein the second duration is greater than the first duration.

[0169] In this embodiment, the conditions for the base to exit the display mode are defined. During this process, the base can exit the display mode according to the actual usage scenario, thereby controlling the display screen in the base to turn off, so as to reduce the power consumption of the base.

[0170] In the above embodiments, when the temperature data fluctuation value remains within a certain range, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable. Based on this, the embodiments of this application introduce a second temperature difference threshold so as to use the second temperature difference threshold to measure the temperature data fluctuation. If the fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold, it is considered that the temperature inside the food has become stable, and the display mode is exited at this time.

[0171] Considering that the internal temperature of the food remains constant for a period of time in the early stages of the temperature probe being inserted into the food, that is, in the early stages of cooking, the above method may lead to misjudgment.

[0172] By limiting the second duration, potential misjudgments by the base that may occur during the initial cooking stage of the ingredients can be avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of exiting the display mode.

[0173] In one embodiment, the second duration is 30 minutes, or it could be 25 minutes, or 45 minutes, etc., and can be selected according to actual usage needs.

[0174] In one embodiment, the second temperature difference threshold is 3 degrees Celsius, or it can be 5 degrees Celsius, or it can be 8 degrees Celsius.

[0175] In the above embodiment, the control unit 404 is further configured to: re-enter the display mode if the temperature data fluctuation value is greater than the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period; and shut down and stop operation if the temperature data fluctuation value is less than or equal to the second temperature difference threshold within the fourth time period.

[0176] In this embodiment, the base can re-enter the display mode or shut down and stop operating based on the above judgment conditions, so as to adapt to changes in actual usage scenarios.

[0177] The fourth duration can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 8 minutes, depending on the actual usage needs.

[0178] By controlling the base to shut down and stop operation, the power consumption of the base is reduced, thereby achieving energy saving.

[0179] In the above embodiment, before shutting down and stopping operation, the control unit 404 is also used to: output a third reminder message to retract the temperature probe onto the base.

[0180] In this embodiment, by outputting a third reminder message, the user is guided to properly store the temperature probe, thereby reducing the chance of the temperature probe being lost, so that it can be stored in the base and charged using the base.
