[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] Cooking equipment plays a vital role in the kitchen. It not only improves cooking efficiency, but also enhances the taste and flavor of food. With the intelligentization of living environment, people's expectations for cooking equipment are getting higher and higher. In the related art, the reservation function of cooking equipment usually selects the cooking method first, and then selects the time difference between the cooking start time and the current time by pressing a button to complete the cooking reservation. When the user needs to select a longer cooking start time, it is necessary to operate the button multiple times to adjust to the corresponding time number, which is cumbersome and the user experience is poor.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device includes a dial with multiple scales and a scale indication knob arranged on the dial. Through user operation, the scale indication knob is made to point to a certain scale of the dial, so that the time corresponding to the scale is used as the reservation start time or the reservation end time. The user operation is convenient and fast, and the cooking time point and cooking time required by the user can be freely set, thereby improving the user experience.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a cooking control method for a cooking device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0049] Step 101, after the user triggers the reservation function, in response to the user's start time confirmation operation, determine the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and use it as the reservation start time;

[0050] The cooking device comprises a dial with a plurality of scales and a scale indicating knob arranged on the dial.

[0051] The user rotates the scale indicator knob on the dial to point to the scale corresponding to the start time to be booked, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the start time confirmation operation.

[0052] In response to the start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the scheduled start time.

[0053] Step 102, in response to the user's end time confirmation operation, determine the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and use it as the appointment end time.

[0054] The user rotates the scale indicator knob on the dial to point to the scale corresponding to the end time required for the reservation, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the end time confirmation operation.

[0055] In response to the end time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the reservation end time.

[0056] It is understandable that the cooking device pre-sets the following rules: when the user triggers the reservation function, the first operation of rotating the scale indicator knob and confirming is to set the reservation start time. When the user completes the start time confirmation operation, the operation of rotating the scale indicator knob and confirming is to set the reservation end time.

[0057] After the cooking device determines the reservation start time and the reservation end time, cooking is performed according to the reservation time.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device includes a dial with multiple scales and a scale indication knob arranged on the dial. Through user operation, the scale indication knob points to a certain scale of the dial, so that the time corresponding to the scale is used as the appointment start time or the appointment end time. The user operation is convenient and quick, and the user experience is improved.

[0059] In addition, after the user triggers the reservation function, the reserved cooking time can be determined according to the reservation start time and reservation end time determined by the user operation, so that the user can freely set the required cooking time point and cooking duration.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another cooking control method for a cooking device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0061] Step 201, after the user triggers the reservation function, in response to the user's start time confirmation operation, the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob is determined and used as the reservation start time;

[0062] The user triggers the reservation function by pressing a reservation button on the cooking device. In other embodiments, the reservation function may also be triggered by voice commands, virtual buttons, remote control, etc., which is not limited by the present invention.

[0063] The cooking device can be any electrical device used for cooking food or water, such as an electric rice cooker, a pressure cooker, a steamer, etc., and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0064] After the user triggers the reservation function, in response to the user's start time confirmation operation, the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob is determined and used as the reservation start time.

[0065] Figure 3 It is a partial structural schematic diagram of a cooking device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the cooking device includes a dial 301 having a plurality of scales and a scale indicating knob 302 disposed on the dial.

[0067] The user first rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the scale corresponding to the appointment start time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the start time confirmation operation.

[0068] In response to the above-mentioned start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the scheduled start time.

[0069] In some embodiments, step 201 includes the following sub-steps:

[0070] Sub-step S11, in response to the user's first start time confirmation operation, determining the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and using it as the hour unit of the appointment start time;

[0071] In some embodiments, the dial scale on the cooking device includes hour scales and minute scales.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, the hour scale is marked on the outer side of the dial 301. There are 48 scales in the dial to divide the 24 hours of a day into equal parts, and each scale represents 0.5 hours.

[0073] Similarly, the 48 scales on the dial divide an hour and 60 minutes equally, and each scale represents 1.25 minutes. For the convenience of users, the minute scale can be marked with 4 scales for 5 minutes, similar to the marking method of the hour scale. Figure 3 The minute scale is not shown.

[0074] In order to meet the user's need for precise control of the scheduled cooking time, the user can first set the hour unit of the scheduled start time, and then set the minute unit of the scheduled start time, and set a more precise scheduled start time through two start time confirmation operations.

[0075] As an example, the user rotates the scale indicator knob on the dial so that the scale indicator knob points to the hour mark "6" and then triggers the confirmation function, thereby completing the first start time confirmation operation.

[0076] In response to the user's first start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and uses it as the hour unit of the scheduled start time. The time corresponding to the dial scale "6" pointed to by the scale indicator knob is 6 o'clock, that is, the hour unit value of the scheduled start time is "6".

[0077] Sub-step S12, in response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, determining the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and using it as the minute unit of the appointment start time;

[0078] The user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale corresponding to the minute unit of the start time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function, thereby completing the second start time confirmation operation.

[0079] In response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the minute unit of the scheduled start time.

[0080] As an example, the user rotates the scale indication knob on the dial to point to the minute scale "5" and then triggers the confirmation function, thereby completing the second start time confirmation operation.

[0081] In response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines that the time corresponding to the dial scale "5" pointed to by the scale indicator knob is 5 minutes, that is, the minute unit value of the scheduled start time is "5".

[0082] By setting the start time confirmation operation twice, the appointment start time can be accurate to the minute, providing users with a more accurate appointment function.

[0083] Step 202, in response to the user's start time confirmation operation, controlling the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a first display mode;

[0084] The cooking device further includes a plurality of indicator lights, and each scale has a corresponding indicator light.

[0085] The indicator light may be arranged below each scale, or may be arranged above each scale. The present invention does not limit the specific position of the indicator light relative to the corresponding scale.

[0086] As an example, after the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the scale corresponding to the start time to be reserved and triggers the confirmation function, the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob of the cooking device controls to be always on.

[0087] By setting an indicator light, the user can be clearly reminded of the set appointment start time, preventing the user from forgetting and having to make a new appointment, thus improving the user experience.

[0088] In some embodiments, step 202 includes the following sub-steps:

[0089] Sub-step S21, in response to a first start time confirmation operation by the user, controlling the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a first color;

[0090] As an example, if the value of the hour unit of the start time that the user needs to set is 6, the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the hour scale with the value "6", and confirms to complete the first start time confirmation operation. In response to the user's first start time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale with the value "6" to display white light.

[0091] Sub-step S22, in response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, controlling the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a second color;

[0092] As an example, if the value of the minute unit of the start time that the user needs to set is "5", the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale with the value "5", and confirms to complete the second start time confirmation operation. In response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale with the value "5" to display a blue light.

[0093] It is understandable that by setting the indicator light, the user can be clearly prompted with the precise appointment start time set. At the same time, in order to distinguish between the hour unit and minute unit of the appointment start time, the indicator light display color of the hour unit and the indicator light display color of the minute unit are set to different display colors.

[0094] In this embodiment, the indicator light of the hour unit of the appointment start time is set to white light, and the indicator light of the minute unit of the appointment start time is set to blue light. In other embodiments, the first color and the second color can also be other colors, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0095] It is worth noting that each indicator light can be two single-color lights or one two-color light.

[0096] When setting the hour and minute units of the appointment start time, the scale corresponding to the hour unit and the scale corresponding to the minute unit may be the same scale.

[0097] In this case, if the indicator light is two single-color lights, one of the single-color lights is displayed in the first color and the other is displayed in the second color; if the indicator light is a two-color light, the indicator light is displayed alternately in the first color and the second color at a certain time interval.

[0098] Step 203, in response to the user's end time confirmation operation, determine the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and use it as the appointment end time.

[0099] The user rotates the scale indicator knob on the dial to make the scale indicator knob point to the appointment end time required by the user, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the end time confirmation operation.

[0100] In response to the above-mentioned end time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the end start time.

[0101] In some embodiments, step 203 includes the following sub-steps:

[0102] Sub-step S31, in response to the user's first end time confirmation operation, determining the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and using it as the hour unit of the appointment end time;

[0103] The user first rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the hour scale corresponding to the hour unit of the end time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the first end time confirmation operation.

[0104] In response to the user's first end time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and uses it as the hour unit of the scheduled end time.

[0105] Sub-step S32, in response to the user's second end time confirmation operation, determining the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and using it as the minute unit of the appointment end time;

[0106] The user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale corresponding to the minute unit of the end time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function, thereby completing the second end time confirmation operation.

[0107] In response to the user's second end time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and uses it as the minute unit of the scheduled end time.

[0108] Step 204: In response to the user's end time confirmation operation, the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob is controlled to be displayed in a second display mode.

[0109] After the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the scale corresponding to the end time to be reserved and triggers the confirmation function, the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob of the cooking device controls the flashing.

[0110] It is understandable that the indicator light can clearly remind the user of the appointment start time and appointment end time set by setting the indicator light. At the same time, in order to distinguish the appointment start time and appointment end time, the indicator light display mode of the appointment start time and the indicator light display mode of the appointment end time are set to different display modes.

[0111] In this embodiment, the indicator light of the appointment start time is displayed in a constant light manner, and the indicator light of the appointment end time is displayed in a flashing manner. In other embodiments, the first display mode and the second display mode may also be other specific display modes, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0112] In some embodiments, step 204 includes the following sub-steps:

[0113] Sub-step S41, in response to the user's first end time confirmation operation, controlling the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a first color;

[0114] As an example, if the hour unit value of the end time that the user needs to set is "10", the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the hour scale with the value "10", and confirms to complete the first end time confirmation operation. In response to the user's first end time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale with the value "10" to display white light.

[0115] Sub-step S42, in response to the user's second end time confirmation operation, controlling the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob to be displayed in a second color;

[0116] As an example, if the value of the minute unit of the start time that the user needs to set is "15", the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale with the value "15", and confirms to complete the second start time confirmation operation. In response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale with the value "15" to display a blue light.

[0117] It is worth noting that when the user accurately sets the appointment start time and appointment end time, the hour unit of the appointment start time, the minute unit of the appointment start time, the hour unit of the appointment end time, and the minute unit of the appointment end time all have corresponding scales and corresponding indicator lights for displaying reminders. When the scales corresponding to two of the units are the same, the indicator lights corresponding to the scales need to display reminders for both units.

[0118] In the above case, if the indicator lamps are two single-color lamps, then both units will be displayed in a corresponding manner at the same time;

[0119] If the indicator light is a two-color light, the two corresponding modes are displayed alternately. A time interval of 3 to 5 seconds can be set to switch from one corresponding mode to another corresponding mode at a certain interval.

[0120] In some embodiments, the above method further comprises:

[0121] After detecting the user's modification operation, determining whether the current time has reached the appointment start time;

[0122] The user's modification operation refers to an operation in which the user rotates the scale indicator knob and triggers a confirmation function after completing the end time confirmation operation.

[0123] After detecting the user's modification operation, the cooking device obtains the current time and determines whether the current time has reached the scheduled start time.

[0124] If the current time has reached the scheduled start time, that is, the cooking device has started cooking. At this time, the user's modification condition for the scheduled cooking time is not met, and an information prompt is given to the user's modification operation, and the information prompt is used to remind the user that the scheduled end time cannot be modified.

[0125] If the current time does not reach the appointment start time, in response to the user's modification operation, the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob is determined and used as the modified appointment end time.

[0126] If the current time does not reach the scheduled start time, that is, the cooking device has not started cooking, and the user's condition for modifying the scheduled cooking time is met, the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob is determined in response to the user's modification operation, and is used as the modified scheduled end time.

[0127] In some embodiments, the above method further comprises:

[0128] In response to the user's modification operation, the indicator light displayed in the second display mode in response to the user's end time confirmation operation is controlled to be turned off, and the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob is controlled to be displayed in the second display mode.

[0129] The user successfully modifies the appointment end time, that is, the appointment end time determined in step 203 is cancelled, and a new appointment end time is determined according to the user's modification operation. Correspondingly, the indicator light corresponding to the display in step 203 is controlled to turn off, and the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob after the user completes the modification operation is controlled to display in the second display mode.

[0130] By judging whether the current time has reached the scheduled start time, it is determined whether to modify the scheduled end time. Thus, the scheduled end time is modified under the condition that the user can modify the scheduled cooking time, making the user operation more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device includes a dial with multiple scales and a scale indication knob arranged on the dial. Through user operation, the scale indication knob is made to point to a certain scale of the dial, so that the time corresponding to the scale is used as the appointment start time or the appointment end time. The user operation is convenient and quick, and more accurate appointment start time and appointment end time can be set, which improves the flexibility and freedom in setting the appointment time and provides users with more diverse choices.

[0132] In addition, after the user triggers the reservation function, the reserved cooking time can be determined according to the reservation start time and reservation end time determined by the user operation, so that the user can freely set the required cooking time point and cooking duration.

[0133] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the method embodiments are described as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily required by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0134] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described by an example:

[0135] 1) After the user presses the reservation button, rotate the scale indicator knob to select the hour unit value of the reservation start time, and then press the confirmation button. The indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed by the scale indicator knob lights up and is a steady white light.

[0136] At this time, the cooking device determines that the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob is the hour unit of the scheduled start time. After the cooking device determines the hour unit of the scheduled start time, the default next operation is used to determine the minute unit of the scheduled start time.

[0137] 2) The user rotates the scale indicator knob to select the minute unit value of the scheduled start time, and then presses the confirmation button. The indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed by the scale indicator knob lights up and is a steady blue light.

[0138] At this time, the cooking device determines that the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob is the minute unit of the scheduled start time. After the cooking device determines the minute unit of the scheduled start time, the default next operation is to determine the hour unit of the scheduled end time.

[0139] 3) The user rotates the scale indicator knob to select the hour unit value of the appointment end time, and then presses the confirmation button. The indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed by the scale indicator knob lights up and flashes white light.

[0140] At this time, the cooking device determines that the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob is the hour unit of the scheduled end time. After the cooking device determines the hour unit of the scheduled end time, the default next operation is used to determine the minute unit of the scheduled end time.

[0141] 4) The user rotates the scale indicator knob to select the minute unit value of the appointment end time, and then presses the confirmation button. The indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed by the scale indicator knob lights up and flashes blue light.

[0142] At this time, the cooking device determines that the time corresponding to the minute scale indicated by the scale indicator knob is the minute unit of the scheduled end time. After the cooking device determines the specific scheduled start time and the scheduled end time, cooking is performed according to the scheduled time.

[0143] 5) When the cooking device has not started cooking, the user can modify the scheduled end time. After the cooking device determines the minute unit of the scheduled end time, the next operation is used to modify the hour unit of the scheduled end time by default.

[0144] The operation of modifying the appointment end time is the same as steps 3) and 4) above, and will not be repeated here.

[0145] In addition, the user can select only once for each of the two appointment times, making it more convenient and quick to make an appointment. This is explained with another example:

[0146] 1) After the user presses the appointment button, rotate the scale indicator knob to select the hour unit value of the appointment start time, and then double-click the confirmation button. The indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed by the scale indicator knob lights up and is a steady white light.

[0147] At this time, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob directly as the scheduled start time. After the cooking device determines the scheduled start time, the default next operation is used to determine the scheduled end time.

[0148] 2) The user rotates the scale indicator knob to select the hour unit value of the appointment end time, and then double-clicks the confirmation button. The indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed by the scale indicator knob lights up and flashes white light.

[0149] At this time, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob directly as the appointment end time. After the cooking device determines the specific appointment start time and appointment end time, cooking is performed according to the appointment time.

[0150] Figure 4 1 is a structural block diagram of a cooking control device for a cooking device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the following modules may be included:

[0151] The start time determination module 401 is used to determine the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed by the scale indicator knob in response to the user's start time confirmation operation after the user triggers the reservation function, and use it as the reservation start time;

[0152] The user rotates the scale indicator knob on the dial to point to the scale corresponding to the start time to be booked, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the start time confirmation operation.

[0153] In response to the above-mentioned start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the scheduled start time.

[0154] In some embodiments, the start time determination module 401 includes the following submodules:

[0155] A first start time confirmation submodule, for determining the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob in response to the user's first start time confirmation operation, and using the time as the hour unit of the appointment start time;

[0156] In order to meet the user's need for precise control of the scheduled cooking time, the user can first set the hour unit of the scheduled start time, and then set the minute unit of the scheduled start time, and set a more precise scheduled start time through two start time confirmation operations.

[0157] The user first rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the hour scale corresponding to the hour unit of the start time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the first start time confirmation operation.

[0158] In response to the user's first start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and uses the time as the hour unit of the scheduled start time.

[0159] The second start time confirmation submodule is used to determine the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob in response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, and use it as the minute unit of the scheduled start time.

[0160] The user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale corresponding to the minute unit of the start time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function, thereby completing the second start time confirmation operation.

[0161] In response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the minute unit of the scheduled start time.

[0162] In some embodiments, the apparatus further comprises:

[0163] A first indicator light display module, configured to control the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a first display mode in response to a start time confirmation operation by the user;

[0164] As an example, after the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the scale corresponding to the start time to be reserved and triggers the confirmation function, the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob of the cooking device controls to be always on.

[0165] By setting an indicator light, the user can be clearly reminded of the set appointment start time, preventing the user from forgetting and having to make a new appointment, thus improving the user experience.

[0166] In some embodiments, the first indicator light display module includes the following submodules:

[0167] A first indicator light display submodule, configured to control the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a first color in response to a first start time confirmation operation by the user;

[0168] As an example, if the value of the hour unit of the start time that the user needs to set is "6", the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the hour scale with the value "6", and confirms to complete the first start time confirmation operation. In response to the user's first start time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale with the value "6" to display white light.

[0169] The second indicator light display submodule is used to control the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale pointed by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a second color in response to the user's second start time confirmation operation.

[0170] As an example, if the value of the minute unit of the start time that the user needs to set is "10", the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale with the value "10", and confirms to complete the second start time confirmation operation. In response to the user's second start time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale with the value "10" to display a blue light.

[0171] It is understandable that by setting the indicator light, the user can be clearly prompted with the precise appointment start time set. At the same time, in order to distinguish between the hour unit and minute unit of the appointment start time, the indicator light display color of the hour unit and the indicator light display color of the minute unit are set to different display colors.

[0172] In this embodiment, the indicator light of the hour unit of the appointment start time is set to white light, and the indicator light of the minute unit of the appointment start time is set to blue light. In other embodiments, the first color and the second color can also be other colors, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0173] It is worth noting that each indicator light can be two single-color lights or one two-color light.

[0174] When setting the hour and minute units of the appointment start time, the scale corresponding to the hour unit and the scale corresponding to the minute unit may be the same scale.

[0175] In this case, if the indicator light is two single-color lights, one of the single-color lights is displayed in the first color and the other is displayed in the second color; if the indicator light is a two-color light, the indicator light is displayed alternately in the first color and the second color at a certain time interval.

[0176] The end time determination module 402 is used to determine the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob in response to the end time confirmation operation of the user, and use it as the appointment end time.

[0177] The user rotates the scale indicator knob on the dial to point to the scale corresponding to the end time required for the reservation, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the end time confirmation operation.

[0178] In response to the above-mentioned end time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob and uses it as the reservation end time.

[0179] In some embodiments, the end time determination module 402 includes the following submodules:

[0180] A first end time confirmation submodule, for responding to a first end time confirmation operation by the user, determining the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and using it as the hour unit of the appointment end time;

[0181] The user first rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the hour scale corresponding to the hour unit of the end time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function to complete the first end time confirmation operation.

[0182] In response to the user's first end time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the hour scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and uses it as the hour unit of the scheduled end time.

[0183] A second end time confirmation submodule, for responding to the user's second end time confirmation operation, determining the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and using it as the minute unit of the appointment end time;

[0184] The user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale corresponding to the minute unit of the end time that the user needs to set, and then triggers the confirmation function, thereby completing the second end time confirmation operation.

[0185] In response to the user's second end time confirmation operation, the cooking device determines the time corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob and uses it as the minute unit of the scheduled end time.

[0186] It is understandable that the cooking device pre-sets the following rules: when the user triggers the reservation function, the first operation of rotating the scale indicator knob and confirming is to set the reservation start time. When the user completes the start time confirmation operation, the operation of rotating the scale indicator knob and confirming is to set the reservation end time.

[0187] In some embodiments, the apparatus further comprises:

[0188] A second indicator light display module, configured to control the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indication knob to be displayed in a second display mode in response to the user's end time confirmation operation;

[0189] As an example, after the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the scale corresponding to the end time to be reserved and triggers the confirmation function, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob to flash.

[0190] It is understandable that the indicator light can clearly remind the user of the appointment start time and appointment end time set by setting the indicator light. At the same time, in order to distinguish the appointment start time and appointment end time, the indicator light display mode of the appointment start time and the indicator light display mode of the appointment end time are set to different display modes.

[0191] In this embodiment, the indicator light of the appointment start time is displayed in a constant light manner, and the indicator light of the appointment end time is displayed in a flashing manner. In other embodiments, the first display mode and the second display mode may also be other specific display modes, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0192] In some embodiments, the second indicator light display module includes the following submodules:

[0193] A third indicator light display submodule is used to control the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale pointed by the scale indicator knob to be displayed in a first color in response to the user's first end time confirmation operation;

[0194] As an example, if the hour unit value of the end time that the user needs to set is "10", the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the hour scale with the value "10", and confirms to complete the first end time confirmation operation. In response to the user's first end time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the hour scale with the value "10" to display white light.

[0195] a fourth indicator light display submodule, configured to control the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob to be displayed in a second color in response to the user's second end time confirmation operation;

[0196] As an example, if the user needs to set the end time in minutes as "5", the user rotates the scale indicator knob to point to the minute scale with the value "5", and confirms to complete the second end time confirmation operation. In response to the user's second end time confirmation operation, the cooking device controls the indicator light corresponding to the minute scale with the value "10" to display a blue light.

[0197] In some embodiments, the apparatus further comprises:

[0198] A start time determination module, used to determine whether the current time has reached the scheduled start time after detecting the user's modification operation;

[0199] The user's modification operation refers to an operation in which the user rotates the scale indicator knob and triggers a confirmation function after completing the end time confirmation operation.

[0200] After detecting the user's modification operation, the cooking device obtains the current time and determines whether the current time has reached the scheduled start time.

[0201] If the current time has reached the scheduled start time, that is, the cooking device has started cooking. At this time, the user's modification condition for the scheduled cooking time is not met, and an information prompt is given to the user's modification operation, and the information prompt is used to remind the user that the scheduled end time cannot be modified.

[0202] An end time modification module, for determining, in response to a user's modification operation, the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob if the current time does not reach the appointment start time, and using it as the modified appointment end time;

[0203] If the current time does not reach the scheduled start time, that is, the cooking device has not started cooking, and the user's condition for modifying the scheduled cooking time is met, the time corresponding to the dial scale pointed to by the scale indicator knob is determined in response to the user's modification operation, and is used as the modified scheduled end time.

[0204] By judging whether the current time has reached the scheduled start time, it is determined whether to modify the scheduled end time. Thus, the scheduled end time is modified under the condition that the user can modify the scheduled cooking time, making the user operation more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0205] In the embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device includes a dial with multiple scales and a scale indication knob arranged on the dial. Through user operation, the scale indication knob is made to point to a certain scale of the dial, so that the time corresponding to the scale is used as the appointment start time or the appointment end time. The user operation is convenient and quick, and more accurate appointment start time and appointment end time can be set, which improves the flexibility and freedom in setting the appointment time and provides users with more diverse choices.

[0206] In addition, after the user triggers the reservation function, the reserved cooking time can be determined according to the reservation start time and reservation end time determined by the user operation, so that the user can freely set the required cooking time point and cooking duration.
