Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent kitchen appliance control technology, and in particular to a method and device for controlling the operation of an intelligent cooking handle. Background Technology

[0002] With the iterative updates of various cooking devices, existing cooking equipment is developing towards intelligence. Common smart kitchen appliances include smart electric cookers. As smart kitchen appliances are updated, the handles of various smart kitchen appliances with handles are also being developed as a key intelligent component.

[0003] Current technologies for developing smart handles tend to focus on communication between the handle and the main body of the smart cookware to coordinate and enhance various cooking functions. This leads to an increase in the smart handle's energy consumption as cooking functions are added, reducing its battery life. Simply adding a battery to the handle requires a complete redesign of the smart handle's structure, resulting in high reconstruction costs. Therefore, providing a method to reduce energy consumption and improve battery life for smart handles without affecting their normal use is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and device for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle, which can reduce the energy consumption of the smart handle and improve its battery life without affecting its normal use.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the first aspect of this invention discloses a method for controlling the operation of an intelligent cooking handle, the method comprising:

[0006] Determine the target cooking process corresponding to the current cooking ingredients and the remaining cooking time corresponding to the target cooking process. The cooking equipment for the current cooking ingredients is equipped with a corresponding smart cooking handle.

[0007] Determine whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to a predetermined control time. If the determination result is yes, determine the touch state corresponding to the smart cooking handle. The touch state includes a contact state or a non-contact state where the user is touching the smart cooking handle.

[0008] When it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in the non-contact state, the start cooking time of the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process is determined as the sleep end time of the smart cooking handle.

[0009] Based on the sleep expiration time, operating parameters are generated for the smart cooking handle, and the smart cooking handle is adjusted to a preset sleep state based on the operating parameters. The sleep time of the smart cooking handle in the sleep state is from the current time to the sleep expiration time.

[0010] As an optional implementation, in the first aspect of the present invention, the operating parameters include module hibernation parameters corresponding to a specific hibernation module in the smart cooking handle; the step of generating operating parameters for the smart cooking handle based on the hibernation expiration time includes:

[0011] Identify functional modules of the smart cooking handle that are not currently used during the target cooking process, and designate them as dormant modules of the smart cooking handle. Generate module dormant parameters to control the smart cooking handle based on the dormant modules.

[0012] Based on the process information corresponding to the subsequent cooking process of the target cooking process, the specific operating module to be activated by the smart cooking handle in the subsequent cooking process is determined, and module activation parameters for controlling the smart cooking handle are generated based on the operating module. The subsequent cooking process is a process that requires the activation of at least one of the operating modules.

[0013] Operating parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated based on the module's sleep parameters, the module's startup parameters, and the sleep expiration time.

[0016] Based on the cooking information of each remaining process, determine the earliest time when the smart cooking handle is in a non-sleep state, and record it as the switching time. The non-sleep state includes the contact state.

[0020] And in the process of determining that the smart cooking handle is in the sleep state, the method further includes:

[0042] Based on the process information corresponding to the subsequent cooking process of the target cooking process, the specific operating module to be activated by the smart cooking handle in the subsequent cooking process is determined, and module activation parameters for controlling the smart cooking handle are generated based on the operating module. The subsequent cooking process is a process that requires the activation of at least one of the operating modules.

[0043] Operating parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated based on the module's sleep parameters, the module's startup parameters, and the sleep expiration time.

[0044] As an optional implementation, in a second aspect of the invention, the operating parameters further include a time parameter, the time parameter being the duration for which the intelligent cooking handle remains in the sleep state, and the device further includes:

[0045] The acquisition module is used to acquire cooking information of all remaining processes of the current cooking ingredients, excluding the target cooking process, before the hibernation control module adjusts the smart cooking handle to a preset hibernation state according to the operating parameters;

[0046] The determining module is further configured to determine, based on the cooking information of each remaining process, the earliest time when the smart cooking handle is in a non-sleep state, denoted as the switching time, wherein the non-sleep state includes the contact state;

[0047] The update module is used to update the hibernation deadline based on the switching time, thereby updating the time parameters, and triggering the hibernation control module to perform the adjustment of the smart cooking handle to a preset hibernation state based on the operating parameters.

[0048] As an optional implementation, in a second aspect of the present invention, each target cooking process includes multiple cooking steps; the determining module is further configured to, when determining that the smart cooking handle is in the non-contact state, determine whether the cooking step that has not been executed in the target cooking process within the remaining cooking time is an active step, wherein the active step is the step that causes the smart cooking handle to be in the contact state; when determining that the cooking step that has not been executed in the target cooking process within the remaining cooking time is not the active step, trigger the determining module to perform the operation corresponding to the start cooking time of the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process;

[0049] The device also includes:

[0050] The detection module is used to detect whether a call command for the smart cooking handle is received during the process of determining that the smart cooking handle is in the sleep state.

[0051] The generation module is further configured to, when the received call instruction is detected, generate control parameters for the smart cooking handle according to the call instruction, so as to update the operating parameters according to the control parameters.

[0052] As an optional implementation, in a second aspect of the present invention, the determining module is further configured to determine the power output state corresponding to the smart cooking handle before determining whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to a predetermined adjustment time. The power output state includes a dynamic adjustment state or a non-dynamic adjustment state that requires dynamic adjustment of the power output of the smart cooking handle. When it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in the dynamic adjustment state, the determining module is triggered to perform the operation of determining whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the predetermined adjustment time.

[0053] When the smart cooking handle is in the dynamic control state, the smart cooking handle has a control duration adapted to each sub-cooking process of cooking ingredients.

[0060] When the duration of continuous contact is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold and the user identification information has matching information in a preset user record database, the control requirements of the target user using the smart cooking handle are determined according to the touch-type instructions, and control parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated according to the control requirements.

[0061] A third aspect of the present invention discloses another intelligent cooking handle operation control device, the device comprising:

[0062] Memory containing executable program code;

[0063] A processor coupled to the memory;

[0064] The processor calls the executable program code stored in the memory to execute the operation control method of the intelligent cooking handle disclosed in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0066] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0067] This invention provides a method for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle. The method includes: determining the target cooking process corresponding to the current cooking ingredient and the remaining cooking time corresponding to the target cooking process; the cooking device for the current cooking ingredient is equipped with a corresponding smart cooking handle; determining whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to a predetermined control time; if the determination result is yes, determining the touch state corresponding to the smart cooking handle, the touch state including a contact state where a user is touching the smart cooking handle or a non-contact state; when it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state, determining the start cooking time corresponding to the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process, as the sleep cutoff time of the smart cooking handle; generating operating parameters for the smart cooking handle based on the sleep cutoff time, and adjusting the smart cooking handle to a preset sleep state based on the operating parameters; the sleep time of the smart cooking handle in the sleep state is from the current time to the sleep cutoff time.

When it is determined to be in a non-contact state, it automatically determines the start time of the next cooking process as the sleep end time, thereby adjusting the smart cooking handle to a sleep state. Through this design, without affecting the normal use of the smart cooking handle, if the user does not use the smart cooking handle for a long time during the cooking process, it can reasonably and accurately control the smart cooking handle to go into sleep mode. This allows the smart cooking handle to go into sleep mode intelligently instead of being constantly active, which helps to reduce the energy consumption of the smart cooking handle and improve its battery life.

[0074] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0075] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or end that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or ends.

[0076] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0077] This invention discloses a method and device for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle. During the cooking process (while the smart handle is running), it automatically determines whether the remaining cooking time for the current target cooking process is greater than the controlled time. If so, it further determines the touch state of the smart cooking handle. When it is determined to be in a non-contact state, it automatically determines the start time of the next cooking process as the sleep cutoff time, thereby adjusting the smart cooking handle to a sleep state. Through this design, without affecting the normal use of the smart cooking handle, if the user does not use the smart cooking handle for a long time during cooking, it can reasonably and accurately control the smart cooking handle to enter sleep mode. This allows the smart cooking handle to intelligently enter sleep mode instead of being constantly active, which helps reduce the energy consumption of the smart cooking handle and improve its battery life. Detailed descriptions follow.

[0078] Example 1

[0079] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the operation of an intelligent cooking handle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The described method for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle can be applied to a device for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle; however, this embodiment of the invention does not limit its application. Figure 1 As shown, the operation control method of this smart cooking handle can include the following operations:

[0080] 101. Determine the target cooking process corresponding to the current cooking ingredients and the remaining cooking time corresponding to the target cooking process.

[0081] In this embodiment of the invention, the cooking device for the current cooking ingredients is equipped with a corresponding smart cooking handle.

[0082] 102. Determine whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the predetermined control time. If the determination result is yes, determine the touch state corresponding to the smart cooking handle.

[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, the touch state includes a contact state where the user is touching the smart cooking handle or a non-contact state.

[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, before step 102 determines whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to a predetermined control time, the method further includes:

[0085] Determine the power output state corresponding to the smart cooking handle. The power output state includes the dynamic control state or the non-dynamic control state that requires dynamic adjustment of the power output of the smart cooking handle.

[0086] When it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in a dynamic control state, the above-mentioned operation of determining whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the predetermined control time is triggered.

[0087] When the smart cooking handle is in dynamic control mode, the smart cooking handle has a control duration that is adapted to each sub-cooking process of cooking the ingredients. All sub-cooking processes include the target cooking process, the remaining cooking process, and all cooking processes preceding the target cooking process.

[0088] Specifically, the smart cooking handle can include different power output states. In the non-dynamic control state, the smart cooking handle may be required to output a fixed power. For example, if the user requires the smart cooking handle to collect information from the cooking device connected to / associated with the smart cooking handle with high density and precision in order to complete the analysis and processing of the feedback information, the smart cooking handle is required to operate at a fixed high power, which can be a non-dynamic control state. In the dynamic control state, the smart cooking handle can intelligently adjust its own power output. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0089] 103. When it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state, determine the start time of the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process, and use it as the sleep cutoff time of the smart cooking handle.

[0090] 104. Generate operating parameters for the smart cooking handle based on the hibernation deadline.

[0091] 105. Adjust the smart cooking handle to the preset sleep state according to the operating parameters.

[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, the sleep time of the smart cooking handle in sleep mode is from the current time to the end of the sleep mode.

[0093] It is evident that implementation Figure 1 The described method for controlling the operation of the smart cooking handle automatically determines whether the remaining cooking time of the current target cooking process is greater than the control time during the cooking process (when the smart handle is running). If so, it further determines the touch state of the smart cooking handle. When it is determined to be in a non-contact state, it automatically determines the start time of the next cooking process as the sleep cutoff time, thereby adjusting the smart cooking handle to a sleep state. Through this design, without affecting the normal use of the smart cooking handle, if the user does not use the smart cooking handle for a long time during the cooking process, it can reasonably and accurately control the smart cooking handle to go into sleep mode. This allows the smart cooking handle to intelligently go into sleep mode instead of being constantly active, which helps reduce the energy consumption of the smart cooking handle and improve its battery life.

[0094] In an optional embodiment, each of the target cooking processes includes multiple cooking steps; prior to performing step 103, the method further includes:

[0095] Determine whether the cooking steps that have not been executed within the remaining cooking time of the target cooking process are active steps. An active step is the step of touching the smart cooking handle to the contact state. When it is determined that the cooking steps that have not been executed within the remaining cooking time of the target cooking process are not active steps, trigger the operation corresponding to the start cooking time of the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process.

[0096] In this optional embodiment, the target cooking process may refer to a single step or a series of steps. When referring to a series of steps, there may be cooking steps in the series of steps that require calling the smart cooking handle (the user touches the smart cooking handle or the smart cooking handle needs to be in an active running state to collect relevant cooking information, perform data communication, etc.). In this case, the step is the active step.

[0097] In addition, the method further includes, during the process of determining that the smart cooking handle is in a sleep state:

[0098] The system detects whether a call command for the smart cooking handle has been received. When a call command is detected, control parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated based on the call command, and the operating parameters are updated based on the control parameters.

[0099] In this optional embodiment, the invocation instruction may include communication control instructions and / or touch instructions, wherein the touch instructions are generated after the user touches the smart cooking handle;

[0100] When a communication control command is detected, the above-mentioned method of generating control parameters for the smart cooking handle based on the command includes:

[0101] Analyze the communication control instructions to obtain the functions to be executed corresponding to the control of the smart cooking handle, and determine the function runtime and the module to be started for each function to be executed.

[0102] Based on the function's runtime and the duration of the module to be started, control parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated according to the calling command.

[0103] Optionally, when a touch-based command is detected, the method of generating control parameters for the smart cooking handle based on the command specifically includes:

[0104] Based on touch-based commands, determine the duration of continuous contact between the target user and the smart cooking handle, as well as the user identification information of the target user.

[0105] When the duration of continuous contact is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold and the user identification information has matching information in the preset user record database, the control requirements of the target user using the smart cooking handle are determined according to the touch-type instructions, and control parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated according to the control requirements.

[0106] As can be seen, in this optional embodiment, a process for determining whether there is an active step in the cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process is set up. This avoids the smart cooking handle being mistakenly put into a sleep state due to the presence of an active step in the cooking process, which could cause program conflicts and improve the power management efficiency of controlling the operation of the smart handle. In addition, a corresponding real-time command detection process is also set up to facilitate the timely wake-up of the smart cooking handle when the user temporarily uses it but it is in a sleep state, thus improving the response speed of the smart cooking handle's sleep-wake-up. Furthermore, for communication control commands, the command can be automatically parsed to obtain the function to be executed, the function's runtime, and the module to be started, thereby generating control parameters and improving the accuracy of parameter generation and command response for these communication control commands. For touch commands, a response permission authentication is set up, allowing users to only operate the smart cooking handle if the database records the corresponding user's operation. This prevents children or pets from accidentally touching the smart cooking handle and affecting the normal cooking process, thus improving the response accuracy and reliability of these touch commands.

[0107] Example 2

[0108] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The described method for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle can be applied to a device for controlling the operation of a smart cooking handle; however, this invention does not limit its application. Figure 2 As shown, the operation control method of this smart cooking handle can include the following operations:

[0109] 201. Determine the target cooking process corresponding to the current cooking ingredients and the remaining cooking time corresponding to the target cooking process.

[0110] 202. Determine whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the predetermined control time. If the determination result is yes, determine the touch state corresponding to the smart cooking handle.

[0111] 203. When it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state, determine the start time of the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process, and use it as the sleep cutoff time of the smart cooking handle.

[0112] 204. Identify the functional modules of the smart cooking handle that are not currently used during the target cooking process, and use them as the sleep modules of the smart cooking handle. Generate module sleep parameters to control the smart cooking handle based on the sleep modules.

[0113] In this embodiment of the invention, the functional modules that need to be run by the smart cooking handle are different in each cooking process. Here, the currently unused functional module can refer to the functional module that is in a standby state after the smart cooking handle determines that the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the control time, the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state, and the smart cooking handle has completed the process corresponding to the target cooking process, and is in a standby state that does not need to be actively run. Specifically, if in process A, the smart cooking handle needs to start the communication module, the data acquisition module, and the voice prompt module, and it is determined that the corresponding data acquisition interaction in process A is completed (calling the communication module and the data acquisition module), and the user has not touched the smart cooking handle (no need to start the voice prompt module to assist the user), and at the same time, the waiting time between process A and the next process B exceeds 30 seconds or 60 seconds, it is determined that the smart cooking handle needs to be adjusted to enter a sleep state. The corresponding sleep modules are the communication module, the data acquisition module, and the voice prompt module; or, after receiving and acquiring data in process A, the communication module and the data acquisition module directly enter a sleep state, and then exit the sleep state after receiving and executing subsequent data. The specific sleep mode is not limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0114] 205. Based on the process information corresponding to the subsequent cooking process of the target cooking process, determine the specific operating module that the smart cooking handle is activated in the subsequent cooking process, and generate the module activation parameters for controlling the smart cooking handle based on the operating module.

[0115] In this embodiment of the invention, the post-cooking process is a process that requires the activation of at least one running module.

[0116] 206. Generate operating parameters for the smart cooking handle based on the module sleep parameters, module start parameters, and sleep expiration time.

[0117] In this embodiment of the invention, the operating parameters include the module hibernation parameters corresponding to the specific hibernation module in the smart cooking handle.

[0118] 207. Adjust the smart cooking handle to the preset sleep state according to the operating parameters.

[0119] For further descriptions of steps 201-203 and 207 in this embodiment of the invention, please refer to the other specific descriptions of steps 101-103 and 105 in Embodiment 1. These descriptions will not be repeated in this embodiment of the invention.

[0120] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the operating parameters also include time parameters, which are the duration for which the smart cooking handle is kept in a sleep state. Before step 207 adjusts the smart cooking handle to the preset sleep state according to the operating parameters, the method further includes:

[0121] Obtain cooking information for all remaining processes of the current cooking ingredients, excluding the target cooking process;

[0122] Based on the cooking information of each remaining process, determine the earliest time when the smart cooking handle is in a non-sleep state, and record it as the switching time. The non-sleep state includes the contact state.

[0123] Update the sleep deadline based on the switching time to update the time parameters and trigger the execution of the above-mentioned adjustment of the smart cooking handle to the preset sleep state based on the operating parameters.

[0124] In this embodiment of the invention, not every remaining cooking process requires waking up and calling the cooking handle. Therefore, in this case, the earliest time that the smart cooking handle is in a non-sleep state refers to the state that requires calling the smart cooking handle during the remaining cooking process. This state can be that the user actively touches the smart handle, or that the smart cooking handle receives a certain control command, etc. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0125] It is evident that implementation Figure 2 The described method for controlling the operation of the smart cooking handle can intelligently determine the sleep module, generate the corresponding sleep parameters, determine the operating module, and generate the module start parameters after the smart cooking handle meets the sleep conditions (remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the control time and the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state). Finally, it combines the sleep expiration time to generate the operating parameters for the smart cooking handle, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the smart cooking handle to sleep and the accuracy of the wake-up response function module after sleep.

[0126] Example 3

[0127] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the operation control device for an intelligent cooking handle disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. The operation control device for the intelligent cooking handle can be an operation control terminal, device, system, or server for the intelligent cooking handle. The server can be a local server, a remote server, or a cloud server (also known as a cloud server). When the server is not a cloud server, it can communicate with the cloud server; this embodiment of the present invention does not impose any limitations. Figure 3As shown, the operation control device of the smart cooking handle may include a determining module 301, a judging module 302, a generating module 303, and a sleep control module 304, wherein:

[0128] The determination module 301 is used to determine the target cooking process corresponding to the current cooking ingredients and the remaining cooking time corresponding to the target cooking process. The cooking equipment for the current cooking ingredients is equipped with a corresponding smart cooking handle.

[0129] The judgment module 302 is used to determine whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the predetermined control time.

[0130] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the determining module 301 is further configured to determine the power output state corresponding to the smart cooking handle before determining whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to a predetermined control time. The power output state includes a dynamic control state or a non-dynamic control state where the power output of the smart cooking handle needs to be dynamically adjusted. When it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in a dynamic control state, the determining module 302 is triggered to perform the above-mentioned operation of determining whether the remaining cooking time is greater than or equal to the predetermined control time.

[0131] When the smart cooking handle is in dynamic control mode, the smart cooking handle has a control duration that is adapted to each sub-cooking process of cooking the ingredients. All sub-cooking processes include the target cooking process, the remaining cooking process, and all cooking processes preceding the target cooking process.

[0132] The determining module 301 is also used to determine the touch state corresponding to the smart cooking handle when the judgment result of the judging module 302 is yes. The touch state includes a contact state where the user is touching the smart cooking handle or a non-contact state.

[0133] The determining module 301 is also used to determine the start cooking time of the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process when it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state, and use it as the sleep end time of the smart cooking handle.

[0134] The generation module 303 is used to generate operating parameters for the smart cooking handle based on the hibernation deadline.

[0135] The sleep control module 304 is used to adjust the smart cooking handle to a preset sleep state according to the operating parameters. The sleep time of the smart cooking handle in the sleep state is from the current time to the end of the sleep state.

[0136] It is evident that implementation Figure 3The described intelligent cooking handle operation control device can automatically determine whether the remaining cooking time of the current target cooking process is greater than the control time during the cooking process (when the intelligent handle is running). If so, it further determines the touch state of the intelligent cooking handle. When it is determined to be in a non-contact state, it automatically determines the start time of the next cooking process as the sleep end time, thereby adjusting the intelligent cooking handle to a sleep state. Through this design, without affecting the normal use of the intelligent cooking handle, if the user does not use the intelligent cooking handle for a long time during the cooking process, it can reasonably and accurately control the intelligent cooking handle to go into sleep mode. This allows the intelligent cooking handle to intelligently go into sleep mode instead of being constantly active, which helps to reduce the energy consumption of the intelligent cooking handle and improve its battery life.

[0137] In an optional embodiment, the operating parameters include module hibernation parameters corresponding to the specific hibernation module in the smart cooking handle; the generation module 303 generates the operating parameters for the smart cooking handle according to the hibernation expiration time in the following specific ways:

[0138] Identify the functional modules of the smart cooking handle that are not currently used during the target cooking process, and use them as the dormant modules of the smart cooking handle. Generate module dormant parameters to control the smart cooking handle based on the dormant modules.

[0139] Based on the process information corresponding to the subsequent cooking process of the target cooking process, determine the specific operating module to be activated by the smart cooking handle in the subsequent cooking process, and generate module activation parameters to control the smart cooking handle based on the operating module. The subsequent cooking process is a process that requires the activation of at least one operating module.

[0140] The operating parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated based on the module's sleep parameters, module startup parameters, and sleep expiration time.

[0141] In this optional embodiment, the operating parameters also include a time parameter, which is the duration for which the smart cooking handle remains in a sleep state, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device may further include an acquisition module 305 and an update module 306, wherein:

[0142] The acquisition module 305 is used to acquire cooking information of all remaining processes of the current cooking ingredients, excluding the target cooking process, before the sleep control module 304 adjusts the smart cooking handle to the preset sleep state according to the operating parameters.

[0143] The determining module 301 is also used to determine the earliest time when the smart cooking handle is in the non-sleep state based on the cooking information of each remaining process, and denoted as the switching time. The non-sleep state includes the contact state.

[0144] The update module 306 is used to update the hibernation deadline based on the switching time to update the time parameters, and trigger the hibernation control module 304 to perform the above-mentioned adjustment of the smart cooking handle to the preset hibernation state based on the operating parameters.

[0145] As can be seen, in this optional embodiment, after the smart cooking handle meets the sleep conditions (remaining cooking time greater than or equal to the control time, and the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state), the system intelligently determines the sleep module, generates the corresponding sleep parameters, determines the operating module, generates the module startup parameters, and finally combines the sleep expiration time to comprehensively generate the operating parameters for the smart cooking handle. This improves the accuracy of controlling the smart cooking handle to sleep and the accuracy of the wake-up response function module after sleep.

[0146] In another optional embodiment, the determination module 302 is further configured to, when it is determined that the smart cooking handle is in a non-contact state, determine whether the cooking steps that have not been executed in the target cooking process within the remaining cooking time are active steps, wherein an active step is the step that causes the smart cooking handle to be in a contact state; when it is determined that the cooking steps that have not been executed in the target cooking process within the remaining cooking time are not active steps, trigger the determination module 301 to perform the operation corresponding to the start cooking time of the next cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process.

[0147] The device also includes a detection module 307, wherein:

[0148] The detection module 307 is used to detect whether a call command for the smart cooking handle has been received during the process of determining that the smart cooking handle is in a sleep state.

[0149] The generation module 303 is also used to generate control parameters for the smart cooking handle according to the call command when a call command is detected, so as to update the operating parameters according to the control parameters.

[0150] In this optional embodiment, the invocation instruction may include communication control instructions and / or touch instructions, wherein the touch instructions are generated after the user touches the smart cooking handle;

[0151] The generation module 303 generates control parameters for the smart cooking handle according to the calling command in the following ways:

[0152] When a communication control command is detected, the command is analyzed to obtain the function to be executed corresponding to the control of the smart cooking handle, and the runtime of the function to be executed and the module to be started are determined.

[0153] Based on the function's runtime and the duration of the module to be started, control parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated according to the calling command.

[0154] Optionally, the generation module 303 is also used for:

[0155] When a touch-type command is detected, the duration of continuous contact between the target user and the smart cooking handle, as well as the user identification information of the target user, are determined based on the touch-type command.

[0156] When the duration of continuous contact is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold and the user identification information has matching information in the preset user record database, the control requirements of the target user using the smart cooking handle are determined according to the touch-type instructions, and control parameters for the smart cooking handle are generated according to the control requirements.

[0157] As can be seen, in this optional embodiment, a process for determining whether there is an active step in the cooking process corresponding to the target cooking process is set up. This avoids the smart cooking handle being mistakenly put into a sleep state due to the presence of an active step in the cooking process, which could cause program conflicts and improve the power management efficiency of controlling the operation of the smart handle. In addition, a corresponding real-time command detection process is also set up to facilitate the timely wake-up of the smart cooking handle when the user temporarily uses it but it is in a sleep state, thus improving the response speed of the smart cooking handle's sleep-wake-up. Furthermore, for communication control commands, the command can be automatically parsed to obtain the function to be executed, the function's runtime, and the module to be started, thereby generating control parameters and improving the accuracy of parameter generation and command response for these communication control commands. For touch commands, a response permission authentication is set up, allowing users to only operate the smart cooking handle if the database records the corresponding user's operation. This prevents children or pets from accidentally touching the smart cooking handle and affecting the normal cooking process, thus improving the response accuracy and reliability of these touch commands.
