In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0034] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a flow chart of a fire control method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0035] S101: Obtain a set of status information for the current cooking task, the set of status information including first status information indicating the object of cooking operation, second status information indicating the object being cooked, and third status information indicating the cooking utensils.

[0036] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the fire control method provided in this application can be the stove itself or a fire control device belonging to the same cooking equipment as the stove, wherein the stove is used to heat the pot. Here, a set of state information for the current cooking task is obtained, and the state information in the set is specific to the current cooking task. For a cooking task, the start of the task is usually the stove being turned on once, and the end of the task is the stove being turned off once. The turning on and off occur adjacently. The current cooking task corresponds to the situation where the stove is on but not off.

[0037] The state information set includes first state information indicating the object of the cooking operation, second state information indicating the object being cooked, and third state information indicating the cooking appliance. The object of the cooking operation can refer to the object performing the current cooking task, such as a user or a robot. The first state information describes whether there is a cooking object in the cooking environment, and if so, its object attributes. The object being cooked can refer to the ingredients, such as meat or vegetables. The second state information describes the processing status of the object within the cookware. The cooking appliance can refer to a cookware and / or a stove. The third state information describes the appliance attributes of the cookware (e.g., earthenware pot, iron pot, wok, pressure cooker), the appliance attributes of the stove (e.g., induction cooker, gas stove), and the contact status between the cookware and the stove. Of course, the appliance attributes of the cookware can also include its shape and volume.

[0038] S102: Determine the firepower adjustment intention corresponding to each state information in the state information set to obtain the intention set;

[0039] In this embodiment, a first adjustment intention corresponding to the first state information, a second adjustment intention corresponding to the second state information, and a third adjustment intention corresponding to the third state information can be determined. Accordingly, the intention set includes the first adjustment intention, the second adjustment intention, and the third adjustment intention. It can be understood that the state information of the cooking operation object dimension, the cooked object dimension, and the cooking utensil dimension constitutes the global data source, while the first adjustment intention, the second adjustment intention, and the third adjustment intention each reflect the power adjustment intention of a local data source.

[0040] S103: Determine the heat adjustment strategy corresponding to the current cooking task based on the intent set. The heat adjustment strategy is used to guide the stove participating in the current cooking task to be in a non-dry-burning state.

[0041] In this embodiment, by comprehensively considering the set of intentions, the corresponding power adjustment strategy is determined, reflecting the attention to power adjustment intentions in various dimensions, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy and reliability of the power adjustment strategy. The set of intentions can be fused based on preset rules to determine the power adjustment strategy. The preset rules include pre-configured weights corresponding to the power adjustment intentions in each dimension. A power adjustment intention indicates at least one intention representation, and the intention representation is any preset intention representation in the preset intention representation set. The intention representation corresponding to the highest weight can be determined as the target intention representation, and then the power adjustment strategy can be determined based on the target intention representation. For example, the pre-configured weight of the power adjustment intention in the dimension of the cooking operation object is 0.4, the pre-configured weight of the power adjustment intention in the dimension of the cooked object is 0.4, and the pre-configured weight of the power adjustment intention in the dimension of the cooking utensil is 0.2. The first adjustment intention refers to schematic representation 1 (e.g., reducing power), the second adjustment intention refers to schematic representation 2 (e.g., turning off the heat), and the third adjustment intention refers to schematic representation 1. Then, the weight corresponding to intention representation 1 is 0.6, and the weight corresponding to intention representation 2 is 0.4. Intent representation 1 is the target intent representation, and the firepower adjustment strategy is to guide the stove to reduce the firepower.

[0042] Furthermore, the preset rules can also record the compatibility and conflict relationships between different preset intent representations. Referring to the example above, intent representation 1 (e.g., reducing heat) and intent representation 2 (e.g., turning off the stove) are compatible. The heat adjustment strategy can be determined by referring not only to intent representation 1 with the highest weight, but also to intent representation 2 with the second highest weight. The heat adjustment strategy would then instruct the stove to first reduce the heat and then turn off the stove. If the intent representation with the highest weight (e.g., reducing heat) conflicts with the intent representation with the second highest weight (e.g., increasing heat), the heat adjustment strategy must exclude the intent representation with the second highest weight (e.g., increasing heat). Accordingly, the heat adjustment strategy would then instruct the stove to reduce the heat.

[0043] In practical applications, the candidate range of preset intent representations can include first-type intent representations that focus on firepower adjustment itself (such as reducing firepower, increasing firepower, and turning off firepower), second-type intent representations with added time attributes (such as delay), and third-type intent representations with added reminder functions (such as reminders). Generally, first-type and second-type intent representations are compatible, first-type and third-type intent representations are compatible, and second-type and third-type intent representations are compatible. Within the first-type intent representations, there are both compatible relationships (such as reducing firepower and turning off firepower) and conflicting relationships (such as reducing firepower and increasing firepower, and increasing firepower and turning off firepower).

[0044] For example, when the intent representation used for reference includes a first type of intent representation (such as reducing firepower), a second type of intent representation with additional time attributes (such as delay), and a third type of intent representation with additional reminder functions (such as reminder), the firepower adjustment strategy is to guide the stove to reduce firepower after a delay and generate a delayed reminder about reducing firepower, such as guiding the stove to reduce firepower after a preset time and generating a delayed reminder about reducing firepower after a preset time.

[0045] It should be noted that the internal structure of the first type of intent representation, the second type of intent representation, and the third type of intent representation can be further refined according to actual needs.

[0046] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0047] As a possible implementation, the heat adjustment intention corresponding to the first state information can be determined by the following steps: when the first state information indicates that the cooking environment contains a target object capable of cooking, a first adjustment intention is generated, and the first adjustment intention indicates a delayed reminder regarding heat adjustment.

[0048] The first state information indicates that the cooking environment contains a target object capable of cooking, such as an adult user or a cooking robot. This means the current cooking task is under the effective control of the object. The generated first adjustment intent instructs a delayed reminder regarding heat adjustment, aiming to reduce intervention in the current cooking task and avoid interfering with the target object's operation. It's understandable that user A is performing the current cooking task, but the heat adjustment strategy generated by some state information instructs the stove to be turned off immediately. This undoubtedly affects user A's normal operation of the current cooking task. Because the current cooking task is under the effective control of user A, there is no need to turn off the stove; if necessary, user A would manually turn it off. Of course, the generated first adjustment intent could also instruct a reduction in local heat (such as inner ring heat).

[0049] The first state information indicating that the cooking environment contains a target object capable of cooking can be a monitoring result for a preset time interval, that is, a target object capable of cooking exists in the cooking environment within the preset time interval.

[0050] Furthermore, if there is no target object capable of cooking within the cooking environment within the preset time interval indicated by the first state information, a first adjustment intention to turn off the heat is generated.

[0051] As one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the firepower adjustment intention corresponding to the second state information is determined through the following steps:

[0052] S201: Obtain a temperature sequence for the current cooking task, the temperature sequence including multiple pot temperatures arranged in chronological order;

[0053] S202: Based on the preset cooking mode indicated by the second state information and the temperature sequence, determine the current cooking stage from each preset cooking stage of the preset cooking mode, and adopt the preset cooking mode to process the object being cooked;

[0054] S203: Determine a second adjustment intention that matches the current cooking stage.

[0055] The processing status of the food being cooked within the cookware can be represented by a preset cooking mode. Since cooking is a complex and systematic process of transforming ingredients into food, the current cooking stage can be determined by the temperature sequence within the preset cooking mode. This current stage reflects the specific processing stage the food is in within the cookware. Secondly, adjusting the intention to match the current cooking stage facilitates the accurate and smooth transition of the food to the next processing stage or the completion of processing within the established preset cooking mode.

[0056] The preset cooking mode indicated by the second state information can be provided by the cooking operation object. The preset cooking mode can be any of multiple candidate cooking modes, and the cooking operation object can select the preset cooking mode based on actual needs. The adaptation of the second adjustment intention to the current cooking stage also helps to meet the cooking needs of the cooking operation object.

[0057] Multiple candidate cooking modes can include stewing, frying, boiling, etc. In practical applications, each candidate cooking stage of a candidate cooking mode can be set with a corresponding temperature range and power range.

[0058] The following uses stewing and frying modes as examples to illustrate the generation of the second adjustment intent:

[0059] 1) Generation of the second adjustment intent in stew mode:

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown. The preset cooking mode is a stewing mode. The objects to be cooked include a first object and a second object. The stewing mode includes a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage. The first stage indicates heating the first object until the broth in the pot is boiling. The second stage indicates adding the second object to the pot. The first stage indicates heating both the first object and the second object. Determining a second adjustment intention that matches the current cooking stage includes:

[0061] S301: If the current cooking stage is the first stage, generate a second adjustment intention to indicate a reduction in heat.

[0062] S302: If the current cooking stage is the second stage, generate a second adjustment intention to increase the heat.

[0063] S303: If the current cooking stage is the third stage, generate a second adjustment intention indicating to turn off the heat after a preset time.

[0064] When determining the first stage, if the last segment of the temperature sequence (recently collected temperatures) reflects a temperature plateau, and based on this plateau, it is determined that the broth (e.g., water) in the pot is boiling, then the current cooking stage is defined as the first stage. A second adjustment intention matching the first stage can instruct a reduction in heat, or it can instruct a delayed execution of the heat reduction. This allows maintaining the broth in the pot at a boil using lower heat, while also avoiding resource waste.

[0065] When determining the second stage, considering its implications, if new ingredients are added to the cookware, the temperature will drop within a short period. Accordingly, if the temperature sequence reflects a rapid temperature decrease, then the current cooking stage is determined to be the second stage. A second adjustment intention matching the second stage can instruct increasing the heat to maintain the temperature within the cookware.

[0066] When determining the third stage, considering the relatively long heating time of the stewing mode and the respective implications of the first and second stages, for the third stage as the final processing step, if the end of the temperature sequence (which, for the current cooking task, covers temperatures related to the first and second stages) (recently collected temperatures) reflects a temperature plateau, and based on this plateau, the broth in the pot is determined to be boiling, then the current cooking stage is determined to be the third stage. A second adjustment intention matching the third stage can instruct the heat to be turned off after a preset time, i.e., a delay in turning off the heat. For example, setting a timer to automatically turn off the heat after the time is up saves resources; simultaneously, in low heat mode, the broth in the pot will not dry out before the timer ends, and the food will not be damaged, ensuring safety and reliability.

[0067] (ii) Generation of the second adjustment intent under frying mode:

[0068] like Figure 4As shown, the preset cooking mode is a frying mode, which includes a fourth stage. The fourth stage indicates that the object being cooked is heated until the temperature of the cookware is within a preset temperature range, with the reference temperature being the temperature most recently indicated among the multiple cookware temperatures. Determining a second adjustment intention matching the current cooking stage includes:

[0069] S401: When the current cooking stage is the fourth stage and the reference temperature is greater than or equal to the upper limit of the preset temperature range, generate a second adjustment intention to reduce the heat.

[0070] S402: When the current cooking stage is the fourth stage and the reference temperature is less than or equal to the lower limit of the preset temperature range, generate the second adjustment intention to increase the heat.

[0071] On the one hand, the temperature sequence needs to reflect the upward trend of temperature; on the other hand, considering that the temperatures at the end of the temperature sequence (some recently collected temperatures) fluctuate slightly, the average or median of these temperatures needs to fall within the preset temperature range. This allows for the determination of the fourth stage. By comparing the reference temperature with the upper or lower limit of the preset temperature range, a corresponding second adjustment intention is generated. Compared to a fixed temperature threshold, the setting of the preset temperature range, and the logic for generating the second adjustment intention, helps the frying mode stay within a suitable temperature range, avoiding frequent heat switching.

[0072] Furthermore, considering the effectiveness of heat reduction, a further processing method for the reference temperature is provided here. A preset control algorithm is introduced to process and obtain the target temperature corresponding to the reference temperature. The target temperature participates in the generation logic of the second adjustment intention mentioned above (that is, the target temperature replaces the reference temperature and is compared with the upper or lower temperature limit), which helps to overcome the negative impact of not being able to reduce heat in time, and can further improve the cooking experience. It can be understood that if the upper temperature limit is 180℃, and the reference temperature is 180℃, a second adjustment intention indicating a reduction in heat is generated. However, in this case, heat reduction may not be ideal. Here, through the application of the preset control algorithm, the conversion of the reference temperature can be realized, and the adaptability of the converted target temperature can also be guaranteed.

[0073] The process of obtaining the target temperature corresponding to the reference temperature by introducing a preset control algorithm is as follows:

[0074] First, a desired temperature is obtained, which falls within the preset temperature range. Then, the difference between the desired temperature and the reference temperature is determined to obtain the current temperature difference. Next, a preset control algorithm is used to process the current difference to obtain a corresponding temperature adjustment value. This preset control algorithm provides preset proportional parameters, preset integral parameters, and preset derivative parameters for data processing. Finally, the reference temperature is adjusted based on the temperature adjustment value to obtain a target temperature. This target temperature is then compared with the upper temperature limit or the lower temperature limit to generate the second adjustment intention.

[0075] The desired temperature can be either the upper or lower temperature limit. When the desired temperature is the upper temperature limit, the target temperature is compared with the upper temperature limit; when the desired temperature is the upper temperature limit, the target temperature is compared with the lower temperature limit. The current temperature difference error = target_temp - last_temp_data, where target_temp represents the desired temperature and last_temp_data represents the reference temperature. The preset proportional parameter KP can be set to 1; the preset integral parameter KI can be set to 0.8; and the preset derivative parameter KD can be set to 0.5. Of course, the values ​​of these three parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0076] The temperature adjustment value output = KP * p_term + KI * i_term + KD * d_term. Error can be used to provide p_term, i_term, and d_term. Here, p_term can be the error, i_term can be error * 2, and d_term can be delta_error, where delta_error represents the difference between the previous temperature difference and the current temperature difference. Correspondingly, the target temperature can be the difference or sum of the reference temperature and the temperature adjustment value.

[0077] As a possible implementation, the firepower adjustment intention corresponding to the third state information can be determined by the following steps: when the duration of the third state information indicating that the cookware and the stove are in a non-contact state is greater than a duration threshold, a third adjustment intention indicating to turn off the fire is generated.

[0078] The contact status between the cookware and the stove is obtained through the third state information. If there is no cookware in contact with the stove for more than a time threshold, the generated third adjustment intention can indicate to turn off the stove, which can prevent the stove from continuing to heat dry and ensure safety.

[0079] As can be seen from the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application above, the embodiments of this application obtain a set of state information for the current cooking task; then, determine the firepower adjustment intention corresponding to each state information in the state information set to obtain an intention set; furthermore, determine the firepower adjustment strategy corresponding to the current cooking task based on the intention set. The state information set includes first state information indicating the cooking operation object, second state information indicating the object being cooked, and third state information indicating the cooking appliance. The determined firepower adjustment strategy is used to guide the stove participating in the current cooking task to be in a non-dry-burning state. In this way, the firepower adjustment strategy is determined by integrating the state information of the cooking operation object dimension, the object being cooked dimension, and the cooking appliance dimension. The rich multi-dimensional data source helps to improve the accuracy of the firepower adjustment strategy, and thus helps to better maintain the stove in a non-dry-burning state. The whole process is intelligent, safe, and reliable. The firepower control method provided in the embodiments of this application is used in cooking scenarios. By better capturing user intentions, it reduces the occurrence of misjudgment of anti-dry-burning in the cooking process, thereby improving the user's cooking experience; at the same time, through an effective firepower adjustment strategy, it avoids the impact on food quality caused by dry-burning, thereby improving the convenience of user cooking.

[0087] The determination of the second adjustment intention matching the current cooking stage includes: generating a second adjustment intention indicating a reduction in heat when the current cooking stage is the first stage; generating a second adjustment intention indicating an increase in heat when the current cooking stage is the second stage; and generating a second adjustment intention indicating a turn-off after a preset time when the current cooking stage is the third stage.

[0088] In one embodiment, the preset cooking mode is a frying mode, which includes a fourth stage, wherein the fourth stage indicates that the object to be cooked is heated to the temperature of the cookware within a preset temperature range, and the reference temperature is the temperature of the most recent time among the plurality of cookware temperatures.
