Description

Cross-reference to applications related to portable food processing devices based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and for automatically cooking and preparing contents in containers.

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 6,3530830, filed August 4, 2023, entitled “IoT (Internet of Things) enabled cordless hand blender system for cooking, automated pot stirring, food processing, and nutrition estimation,” the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] Embodiments of this disclosure relate to multifunctional portable handheld kitchen appliances based on the Internet of Things (IoT), and more specifically to portable IoT-based food processing equipment for automatically cooking and preparing one or more contents in one or more containers. Background Technology

[0003] Food preparation involves multiple steps and processes, including at least one of the following: mixing bowls, monitoring temperature, mixing, flipping, blending, chopping, stirring, foaming, kneading, etc. In addition, food needs to be weighed on a kitchen scale to estimate nutritional value. Mixing bowls, in particular, is a time-consuming and repetitive task requiring constant attention. Neglecting the mixing bowl process can lead to burnt, charred, and inconsistent results. Performing the above tasks typically requires multiple kitchen utensils.

[0004] Current pot mixers on the market have several limitations. They may not be able to evenly mix or agitate large quantities of larger solids. They also cannot retain heat for faster cooking and lack wireless monitoring and control capabilities (i.e., via mobile device). Furthermore, current pot mixers may not be able to reduce or eliminate cooking odors, detect food type to automate the cooking process, or automatically adjust mixing speed and direction. Additionally, the limited functionality of cordless handheld mixers forces users to rely on multiple other appliances, which can clutter the kitchen and increase costs.

[0005] The aforementioned pot mixers may have low power, limited speed, and only provide unidirectional stirring, which restricts their practicality when cooking a wide variety of recipes. Pot mixers may also lack features including at least one of the following: ambient sensing, multitasking, learning capabilities, and options for user reprogramming. Therefore, pot mixers may not provide significant assistance to the user during the cooking process.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for an improved Internet of Things (IoT)-based food processing device to automatically cook and prepare one or more contents in one or more containers in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
