[0066] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] This embodiment provides a method for identifying unattended operation, referring to... Figure 1 Methods for identifying unmanned operation include:

[0069] S11. Obtain the temperature characteristic values ​​of the target area.

[0070] S12. Generate personnel operation information based on temperature characteristic values ​​and preset unmanned operation conditions. This personnel operation information indicates whether personnel are performing cooking operations within the target area.

[0071] Among them, the method for identifying unmanned operation is used to monitor the stove to prevent dry burning, and the target area covers at least one burner of the stove.

[0072] Temperature characteristic values ​​can be calculated from temperature data of the target area, which can be a temperature queue arranged according to sampling time.

[0073] This embodiment identifies whether someone is cooking in the target area by matching the temperature characteristic value of the target area with the conditions for no human operation. If someone is cooking, that person can autonomously monitor safety issues during the cooking process. It can also be used to monitor stoves. It can determine whether the pot is dry-burning by using the temperature data, temperature characteristic value of the target area and the status of the stove. It can also eliminate the influence of human operation (adjusting the heat, turning off the heat, tossing the pot, stir-frying, etc.) by using human operation information. When it is determined that the pot is dry-burning, it will intervene in the stove operation (turn off the heat, adjust the heat, etc.) and issue warnings such as sound and light.

[0074] In specific implementation, step S12 includes:

[0075] When the temperature characteristic value meets the conditions for no-operation, the personnel operation information indicates that no personnel are performing cooking operations within the target area.

[0076] When the temperature characteristic value does not meet the conditions for unmanned operation, the personnel operation information indicates that there are personnel performing cooking operations in the target area.

[0077] Among them, the corresponding unmanned operation conditions can be matched according to different types of temperature characteristic values ​​(such as variance, range, etc.) to identify whether there are people cooking in the target area.

[0078] The type of temperature characteristic value can be set according to the actual situation.

[0079] In practice, the conditions for unmanned operation include at least one of the following:

[0080] (1) When the temperature characteristic value includes variance, the variance within the first preset time window is less than the preset first variance threshold.

[0081] (2) When the temperature characteristic value includes the range, the range within the second preset time window is less than the preset first range threshold.

[0082] (3) When the temperature characteristic value includes the temperature change trend, the amplitude of the temperature change trend within multiple third preset time windows is less than the preset trend fluctuation threshold.

[0083] Conditions (1) and (2) both indicate that the temperature fluctuation is small, while the cooking operation by personnel will cause a large temperature fluctuation.

[0084] For condition (3), the temperature change trend includes both heating and cooling. The magnitude of the temperature change trend is the magnitude of the temperature rise and fall, reflecting the size of the temperature fluctuation. Using the magnitude of the temperature change trend within multiple third preset time windows for measurement can avoid misjudgment caused by occasional situations and specific cooking scenarios (such as making soup).

[0085] Condition (3) can be used to strengthen conditions (1) and (2) to avoid misjudgment. For example, the unmanned operation condition can be that when the temperature feature value includes variance and temperature change trend, the variance within the first preset time window is less than the preset first variance threshold, and the amplitude of the temperature change trend within multiple third preset time windows is less than the preset trend fluctuation threshold; this unmanned operation condition can reduce the misjudgment when the user only adjusts the heat in scenarios such as making soup.

[0086] Generally speaking, the duration of the third preset time window is shorter than that of the first preset time window and also shorter than that of the second preset time window.

[0087] The first preset time window, the second preset time window, the third preset time window, the first variance threshold, the first range threshold, and the trend fluctuation threshold can be set according to the actual situation.

[0088] In specific implementation, the amplitude of temperature change trends within multiple third preset time windows is less than a preset trend fluctuation threshold, which may include:

[0089] The absolute values ​​of the slopes of the temperatures within multiple third preset time windows are all less than the preset slope threshold.

[0090] The magnitude of temperature change is positively correlated with the absolute value of the slope of the temperature change. Therefore, measuring the magnitude of temperature change can be transformed into measuring the absolute value of the slope of the temperature change.

[0091] The slope threshold can be set according to the actual situation.

[0092] Example 2

[0093] This embodiment provides a range hood control method, referring to... Figure 2 The control methods for range hoods include:

[0094] S21. Obtain temperature data and stove status for the target area. The target area covers at least one burner of the stove.

[0095] S22. Calculate the temperature characteristic value based on the temperature data.

[0096] S23. Obtain personnel operation information obtained using the unmanned operation identification method in Example 1.

[0097] S24. When the stove is turned on, the cookware status is determined based on temperature data, temperature characteristic values, and personnel operation information.

[0098] S25. When the cookware status indicator shows that the cookware is in a dry-burning state, perform stove intervention operation and / or warning.

[0099] The temperature data can be a temperature queue arranged according to the sampling time, and can be obtained through infrared temperature sensors, temperature probes, etc. There are no restrictions on the way the temperature data is obtained.

[0100] The status of a cooktop includes whether it is on or off, and may also include the flame level. The status of a cooktop can be obtained by detecting gas flow, ignition, combustion status, etc. There are no restrictions on the method of obtaining the status of a cooktop.

[0101] Temperature characteristic values ​​can include variance, range, temperature change trend, etc.

[0102] This embodiment identifies whether someone is cooking in the target area by matching the temperature characteristic value of the target area with the conditions for no human operation. If someone is cooking, that person can autonomously monitor safety issues during the cooking process. It can also be used to monitor stoves. It can determine whether the pot is dry-burning by using the temperature data, temperature characteristic value of the target area and the status of the stove. It can also eliminate the influence of human operation (adjusting the heat, turning off the heat, tossing the pot, stir-frying, etc.) by using human operation information. When it is determined that the pot is dry-burning, it will intervene in the stove operation (turn off the heat, adjust the heat, etc.) and issue warnings such as sound and light.

[0103] In practice, the temperature characteristic value includes at least one of variance and range.

[0104] Reference Figure 3 Step S24, "determining the cookware status based on temperature data, temperature characteristic values, and personnel operation information," may include:

[0105] S241. When the variance is greater than or equal to the preset second variance threshold or the range is greater than or equal to the preset second range threshold, count the number of times the temperature is greater than the preset first temperature threshold within the preset time period.

[0106] S242. If the number of times exceeds the preset number threshold, the determined cookware state represents the cookware being in an overheated dry-burning state.

[0107] S243. If the number of times is less than or equal to the number of times threshold and the personnel operation information indicates that no personnel are performing cooking operations in the target area, then when the duration of no one being present is greater than the preset duration threshold, the determined cookware status indicates that the cookware is in a long-term dry-burning state.

[0108] Among them, a variance greater than or equal to a preset second variance threshold indicates large temperature fluctuations. A range greater than or equal to a preset second range threshold also indicates large temperature fluctuations.

[0109] Large temperature fluctuations may be caused by human cooking operations. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the influence of human cooking operations (adjusting heat, turning off the heat, tossing the pan, stir-frying, etc.) by examining human operation information. When someone is cooking, since their attention is focused on the pot, it is generally assumed that the person will monitor the pot to prevent it from drying out.

[0110] Overheating dry burning indicates dry burning due to excessively high temperature, while prolonged dry burning indicates dry burning due to prolonged heating.

[0111] The second variance threshold, second range threshold, first temperature threshold, number of times threshold, duration threshold, and preset time period (e.g., duration) can be set according to the actual situation.

[0112] In practice, step S24, "determine the cookware status based on temperature data, temperature characteristic values, and personnel operation information," may also include:

[0113] When the variance is less than the preset second variance threshold or the range is less than the preset second range threshold, and the temperature is greater than the preset second temperature threshold, the determined cookware state represents the cookware being in an overheated dry-burning state.

[0114] Among them, a variance less than a preset second variance threshold indicates small temperature fluctuation. A range less than a preset second range threshold also indicates small temperature fluctuation.

[0115] When the temperature fluctuation is small, the cookware can be determined to be in an overheated and dry-burning state by comparing the temperature with the second temperature threshold.

[0116] A second temperature threshold can be set according to the actual situation.

[0117] In practice, step S25, "performing stove intervention operation," may include:

[0118] Control the stove to turn off the flame or adjust the heat.

[0119] Adjusting the firepower can be done by reducing the firepower to a preset firepower level.

[0120] In specific implementation, "issue an early warning" in step S25 may include:

[0121] Warning information will be delivered through at least one of the following methods: voice, alert tone, light, message, and text message.

[0122] The warning information can include classification information on dry burning, such as overheating dry burning or prolonged dry burning. The warning information can also include intervention operation suggestions. The content and presentation of the warning information can be set according to actual needs.

[0123] Example 3

[0124] This embodiment provides a method for identifying unmanned operating systems, referring to... Figure 4 Identifying unmanned operating systems includes:

[0125] The first acquisition module 11 is used to acquire the temperature characteristic values ​​of the target area.

[0126] The identification module 12 is used to generate personnel operation information based on temperature characteristic values ​​and preset unmanned operation conditions. The personnel operation information indicates whether personnel are performing cooking operations within the target area.

[0127] Among them, the method for identifying unmanned operation is used to monitor the stove to prevent dry burning, and the target area covers at least one burner of the stove.

[0128] Temperature characteristic values ​​can be calculated from temperature data of the target area, which can be a temperature queue arranged according to sampling time.

[0129] This embodiment identifies whether someone is cooking in the target area by matching the temperature characteristic value of the target area with the conditions for no human operation. If someone is cooking, that person can autonomously monitor safety issues during the cooking process. It can also be used to monitor stoves. It can determine whether the pot is dry-burning by using the temperature data, temperature characteristic value of the target area and the status of the stove. It can also eliminate the influence of human operation (adjusting the heat, turning off the heat, tossing the pot, stir-frying, etc.) by using human operation information. When it is determined that the pot is dry-burning, it will intervene in the stove operation (turn off the heat, adjust the heat, etc.) and issue warnings such as sound and light.

[0130] In specific implementation, the identification module 12 is also used to indicate that no one is performing cooking operations in the target area when the temperature characteristic value meets the unmanned operation conditions.

[0131] The identification module 12 is also used to indicate that there are people performing cooking operations in the target area when the temperature characteristic value does not meet the conditions for unmanned operation.

[0132] Among them, the corresponding unmanned operation conditions can be matched according to different types of temperature characteristic values ​​(such as variance, range, etc.) to identify whether there are people cooking in the target area.

[0133] The type of temperature characteristic value can be set according to the actual situation.

[0134] In practice, the conditions for unmanned operation include at least one of the following:

[0135] (1) When the temperature characteristic value includes variance, the variance within the first preset time window is less than the preset first variance threshold.

[0136] (2) When the temperature characteristic value includes the range, the range within the second preset time window is less than the preset first range threshold.

[0137] (3) When the temperature characteristic value includes the temperature change trend, the amplitude of the temperature change trend within multiple third preset time windows is less than the preset trend fluctuation threshold.

[0138] Conditions (1) and (2) both indicate that the temperature fluctuation is small, while the cooking operation by personnel will cause a large temperature fluctuation.

[0139] For condition (3), the temperature change trend includes both heating and cooling. The magnitude of the temperature change trend is the magnitude of the temperature rise and fall, reflecting the size of the temperature fluctuation. Using the magnitude of the temperature change trend within multiple third preset time windows for measurement can avoid misjudgment caused by occasional situations and specific cooking scenarios (such as making soup).

[0140] Condition (3) can be used to strengthen conditions (1) and (2) to avoid misjudgment. For example, the unmanned operation condition can be that when the temperature feature value includes variance and temperature change trend, the variance within the first preset time window is less than the preset first variance threshold, and the amplitude of the temperature change trend within multiple third preset time windows is less than the preset trend fluctuation threshold; this unmanned operation condition can reduce the misjudgment when the user only adjusts the heat in scenarios such as making soup.

[0141] Generally speaking, the duration of the third preset time window is shorter than that of the first preset time window and also shorter than that of the second preset time window.

[0142] The first preset time window, the second preset time window, the third preset time window, the first variance threshold, the first range threshold, and the trend fluctuation threshold can be set according to the actual situation.

[0143] In specific implementation, the amplitude of temperature change trends within multiple third preset time windows is less than a preset trend fluctuation threshold, which may include:

[0144] The absolute values ​​of the slopes of the temperatures within multiple third preset time windows are all less than the preset slope threshold.

[0145] The magnitude of temperature change is positively correlated with the absolute value of the slope of the temperature change. Therefore, measuring the magnitude of temperature change can be transformed into measuring the absolute value of the slope of the temperature change.

[0146] The slope threshold can be set according to the actual situation.

[0147] Example 4

[0148] This embodiment provides a range hood control system, referring to... Figure 5 The range hood control system includes:

[0149] The second acquisition module 21 is used to acquire temperature data and stove status of the target area. The target area covers at least one burner of the stove.

[0150] The feature value calculation module 22 is used to calculate temperature feature values ​​based on temperature data.

[0151] The second acquisition module 21 is also used to acquire personnel operation information obtained by the aforementioned method for identifying unmanned operation.

[0152] The cookware status determination module 23 is also used to determine the cookware status based on temperature data, temperature characteristic values ​​and personnel operation information when the stove status characterization stove is turned on.

[0153] The dry-burning treatment module 24 is used to perform stove intervention operations and / or warnings when the cookware status indicator shows that the cookware is in a dry-burning state.

[0154] The temperature data can be a temperature queue arranged according to the sampling time, and can be obtained through infrared temperature sensors, temperature probes, etc. There are no restrictions on the way the temperature data is obtained.

[0155] The status of a cooktop includes whether it is on or off, and may also include the flame level. The status of a cooktop can be obtained by detecting gas flow, ignition, combustion status, etc. There are no restrictions on the method of obtaining the status of a cooktop.

[0156] Temperature characteristic values ​​can include variance, range, temperature change trend, etc.

[0157] This embodiment identifies whether someone is cooking in the target area by matching the temperature characteristic value of the target area with the conditions for no human operation. If someone is cooking, that person can autonomously monitor safety issues during the cooking process. It can also be used to monitor stoves. It can determine whether the pot is dry-burning by using the temperature data, temperature characteristic value of the target area and the status of the stove. It can also eliminate the influence of human operation (adjusting the heat, turning off the heat, tossing the pot, stir-frying, etc.) by using human operation information. When it is determined that the pot is dry-burning, it will intervene in the stove operation (turn off the heat, adjust the heat, etc.) and issue warnings such as sound and light.

[0158] In practice, the temperature characteristic value includes at least one of variance and range.

[0159] The cookware status determination module 23 is also used to count the number of times the temperature is greater than the preset first temperature threshold within a preset time period when the variance is greater than or equal to the preset second variance threshold or the range is greater than or equal to the preset second range threshold.

[0160] The cookware status determination module 23 is also used to determine the cookware status if the number of times exceeds a preset threshold, thus indicating that the cookware is in an overheated dry-burning state.

[0161] The cookware status determination module 23 is also used to determine the cookware status as a long-term dry-burning state when the number of times is less than or equal to the number of times threshold and the personnel operation information indicates that no personnel are performing cooking operations in the target area, and the duration of no one being present is greater than the preset duration threshold.

[0162] Among them, a variance greater than or equal to a preset second variance threshold indicates large temperature fluctuations. A range greater than or equal to a preset second range threshold also indicates large temperature fluctuations.

[0163] Large temperature fluctuations may be caused by human cooking operations. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the influence of human cooking operations (adjusting heat, turning off the heat, tossing the pan, stir-frying, etc.) by examining human operation information. When someone is cooking, since their attention is focused on the pot, it is generally assumed that the person will monitor the pot to prevent it from drying out.

[0164] Overheating dry burning indicates dry burning due to excessively high temperature, while prolonged dry burning indicates dry burning due to prolonged heating.

[0165] The second variance threshold, second range threshold, first temperature threshold, number of times threshold, duration threshold, and preset time period (e.g., duration) can be set according to the actual situation.

[0166] In specific implementation, the cookware status determination module 23 is also used to determine the cookware status when the variance is less than the preset second variance threshold or the range is less than the preset second range threshold, and the temperature is greater than the preset second temperature threshold, so that the determined cookware status represents the overheated dry burning state of the cookware in the dry burning state.

[0167] Among them, a variance less than a preset second variance threshold indicates small temperature fluctuation. A range less than a preset second range threshold also indicates small temperature fluctuation.

[0168] When the temperature fluctuation is small, the cookware can be determined to be in an overheated and dry-burning state by comparing the temperature with the second temperature threshold.

[0169] A second temperature threshold can be set according to the actual situation.

[0170] In practice, the dry burning treatment module 24 is also used to control the stove to turn off or adjust the firepower.

[0171] Adjusting the firepower can be done by reducing the firepower to a preset firepower level.

[0172] In practice, the dry burning treatment module 24 is also used to provide warning information through at least one of the following methods: voice, prompt tone, light, message, and SMS.

[0173] The warning information can include classification information on dry burning, such as overheating dry burning or prolonged dry burning. The warning information can also include intervention operation suggestions. The content and presentation of the warning information can be set according to actual needs.
