[0057] The utility model provides a cooking device that can automatically display target cooking information that meets the user's current cooking needs on a display screen during the cooking period required by the user, thereby greatly simplifying the user's operation of setting parameters, improving the convenience of operation, and effectively improving the user's experience.

[0058] See also Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, a cooking device is provided, the cooking device comprising: a cooking body 1, the cooking body 1 comprising: a cavity for accommodating cooking ingredients, and a heating component and / or a steam component for providing a predetermined temperature and / or a steam environment for the cooking ingredients; a display screen 2, the display screen 2 being used to display target cooking information required for cooking the current cooking ingredients; a controller 3, the controller 3 storing preset cooking information, the controller 3 comprising a clock module 31 and a cooking information matching module 32, the clock module 31 being used to obtain the current time of the cooking device; the cooking information matching module 32 being able to determine the current cooking time period of the cooking device based on the current time of the cooking device obtained by the clock module 31; and determining target cooking information that matches the cooking time period from the preset cooking information based on the current cooking time period of the cooking device; a signal acquisition unit 4, the signal acquisition unit 4 being used to receive a confirmation signal indicating that a user has confirmed the current target cooking information; after the signal acquisition unit 4 receives the confirmation signal indicating that the user has confirmed the current target cooking information, the cooking body 1 operates according to the target cooking information.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, the cooking device is a device with multiple cooking functions. Different users usually need to set the working parameters of the cooking device when using it at different times. Specifically, the cooking device can include any of the following: a steam oven, a steam box, an oven, a microwave oven, and an automatic cooking machine.

[0060] Of course, the specific form of the cooking device can also be other forms and is not limited to the above description. Persons skilled in the art may make other changes based on the technical essence of this application. However, as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of the present application, they should be included in the scope of protection of this application. In the embodiments of this application, the cooking device is mainly illustrated by taking a steam oven as an example.

[0061] The cooking device may include a cooking unit 1, a display screen 2, a controller 3, and a signal acquisition unit 4. Taking a steam oven as an example, the cooking unit 1 may include a cavity for accommodating cooking ingredients, as well as a heating component / steam component for providing a specific temperature / steam environment for the ingredients. The display screen 2 may be used to display target cooking information required for cooking the current ingredients.

[0062] The controller 3 stores preset cooking information, which may include any one or a combination of the following: common cooking settings under different preset cooking time periods, common recipes, recommended recipes, identity information of different users, etc.

[0063] Taking into account that the user's cooking needs will change in different cooking time periods, in the implementation mode of the present application, in order to adapt to the different cooking needs of users in different cooking time periods, so as to better adapt to the user's cooking needs, corresponding common cooking settings, common recipes, and recommended recipes can be set for different preset cooking time periods. At least one of them.

[0064] The cooking time periods may include: a morning cooking time period, a noon cooking time period and an evening cooking time period within a day.

[0065] Specifically, the cooking period can be a period pre-set in the controller 3 when the cooking device leaves the factory; or, the cooking period can be set by the user during subsequent use; or, the cooking period can be continuously adaptively adjusted through self-learning according to the user's usage habits, thereby automatically matching the user's usage habits and improving the user experience.

[0066] The cooking period may include a clock attribute. For example, the morning cooking period, the lunch cooking period, and the evening cooking period in a day may be 7:00-10:00, the lunch cooking period may be 11:00-14:00, and the evening cooking period may be 16:00-19:00.

[0067] In addition, considering that the user may cook multiple dishes in the same cooking period, each of the above cooking periods can be further subdivided into multiple sub-cooking periods (taking the morning cooking period as an example, it can be divided into the first sub-cooking period 7:00-8:00, the second sub-cooking period 8:00-9:00 and the third sub-cooking period 9:00-10:00). Different cooking work parameters can be stored in each sub-cooking period, so as to more intelligently match the user's cooking needs and cooking habits.

[0068] It should be noted that the specific time, duration and number of the above cooking periods can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual usage needs of the user, and this application does not make the sole limitation here.

[0069] Furthermore, the cooking period may further include a day of the week attribute, and different cooking periods of each day of the week are stored corresponding to the day of the week attribute. Acquiring the current time of the cooking device may include acquiring the day of the week attribute and the clock attribute of the cooking device.

[0070] In this embodiment, a user's cooking needs may vary during the week. For example, users may experience significant variations in cooking recipes, types of dishes, and cooking times between weekdays (Monday through Friday) and weekends. Most users cook a wider variety of dishes on weekends, with a wider variety of recipes. Furthermore, cooking times may be delayed or extended. To meet the user's differentiated needs throughout the week, the controller 3 can store different cooking time periods corresponding to the day of the week (e.g., Monday through Sunday). Of course, in some embodiments, preset cooking parameters can be stored separately for weekdays and weekends. For example, different preset cooking parameters may be assigned to different cooking time periods on weekdays and weekends.

[0071] In addition, the cooking period may also include a date attribute, which may specifically be year, month, and day information.

[0072] As the date progresses, seasons change, ambient temperature fluctuates, and other factors may impact the user's cooking needs. To accommodate the user's changing cooking needs as the date progresses, the cooking time period can include a date attribute. When the cooking time period includes both a date attribute and a day of the week attribute, at least one of common cooking settings, common recipes, or recommended recipes can be configured for each specific date and day of the week, depending on the cooking time period.

[0073] In this embodiment of the present application, the controller 3 may include a clock module 31 and a cooking information matching module 32. The clock module 31 may be used to obtain the current time of the cooking device. The information matching module 32 may determine the current cooking time period of the cooking device based on the current time of the cooking device obtained by the clock module 31; and based on the current cooking time period of the cooking device, determine target cooking information that matches the cooking time period from the preset cooking information.

[0074] When the information matching module 32 identifies the current cooking period of the cooking device based on the acquired current time of the cooking device, the acquired current time of the cooking device may be different depending on the specific content contained in the preset cooking information. For example, when the preset cooking information only contains clock attributes, only the clock information within the current day may be obtained; when the preset cooking information contains clock attributes and cycle attributes, the current clock information and cycle information may be obtained; when the preset cooking information contains clock attributes, cycle attributes and date attributes, the current clock information, cycle information and date information may be obtained.

[0075] Among them, there are multiple ways to obtain the current time of the cooking device. One of the ways is that the cooking device itself includes a clock module 31 that can determine the current time (date and / or week and / or clock), and the current time of the cooking device can be determined using the clock module 31; or, the cooking device can be provided with a communication module, which can communicate with the server, central controller 3, etc., so as to receive the current time of the cooking device.

[0076] After obtaining the time of the current cooking device, the current cooking device can be compared with the cooking time periods divided in the preset cooking information, thereby identifying the cooking time period the cooking device is currently in. Specifically, it may include the following situations.

[0077] Case 1: When the current time of the cooking device is within a preset cooking time period, the cooking information matching module 32 may use the cooking time period corresponding to the current time of the cooking device as the current cooking time period of the cooking device.

[0078] Take the morning cooking period in this cooking period as an example.

[0079] For example, the current user starts the cooking device at 7:05, which is exactly within the morning cooking period. The current time can be used to directly identify that the cooking period of the current cooking device is the morning cooking period, and then based on the current cooking period of the cooking device, the target cooking information matching the cooking period can be determined from the preset cooking information, that is, the target cooking information matching the morning cooking period can be determined.

[0080] Case 2: When the current time of the cooking device is not within the preset cooking period, the cooking information matching module 32 can compare the current time of the cooking device with all the preset cooking periods, and take the preset cooking period closest to the current time of the cooking device as the current cooking period of the cooking device.

[0081] For example, the current user starts the cooking device at 6:50, which is not within the morning cooking period but is closest to the morning cooking period. In this case, the morning cooking period closest to the current time can be used as the current cooking period of the cooking device. Then, based on the current cooking period of the cooking device, the target cooking information matching the cooking period can be determined from the preset cooking information, that is, the target cooking information matching the morning cooking period can be determined.

[0082] After the target cooking information matching the current time period of the current cooking device is determined, the target cooking information may be displayed on the display screen 2 .

[0083] After the target cooking information is displayed on the display screen 2, the user can confirm the target cooking information on the display screen 2. If the user has no modification requirements for the current target cooking information, the cooking device can control the cooking body 1 to operate with the target cooking information after receiving a confirmation signal indicating that the user confirms the current target cooking information.

[0084] The confirmation signal may be triggered by a user or automatically by the cooking device. The specific form of the signal acquisition unit 4 is not limited in this application.

[0085] For example, when the confirmation signal is triggered by the user, it can specifically be a predetermined operation performed by the user on the display screen 2. For example, the signal acquisition unit 4 can be a confirmation key on the display screen 2, and the user touches the confirmation key on the display screen 2, thereby generating the above-mentioned confirmation signal; of course, the method of generating the above-mentioned confirmation signal by user triggering is not limited to the above example. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0086] For example, when the confirmation signal is automatically triggered by the cooking device, if no user modification operation is received within a predetermined time period, the cooking device defaults to operating according to the current target cooking information. The predetermined time period can be a fixed value or a set value, for example, the user can set it according to their own usage habits. The predetermined time period can be, for example, 5 seconds, or longer or shorter, and this application does not impose a single numerical limit. In the above scenario, the signal acquisition unit 4 can be a timer, or it can share the timing function of the controller 3.

[0087] Alternatively, when the confirmation signal is automatically triggered by the cooking device, it can be that the cooking device detects that the user is performing the following operations: opening the door of the cooking body 1 and / or putting ingredients in the cooking body 1 and / or after closing the door of the cooking body 1, it is automatically triggered to run with the target cooking information. Of course, the triggering method of the confirmation information is not limited to the above examples, and this application does not make specific limitations here. Since the above-mentioned operations of opening the door, putting ingredients and closing the door are essential operations for the user when cooking, by cleverly utilizing the user's essential operations to form the trigger conditions for generating the confirmation signal, it can better fit the user's usage habits, not only will it not increase the user's operating burden, but it can also utilize existing operations to produce new control effects, thereby deeply improving the user's usage experience. In the above scenario, the signal acquisition unit 4 can specifically be a door opening or closing detection component that shares the cooking device.

[0088] The cooking device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be in a shutdown state and the display screen 2 can be in a power-off state before the user uses it. In this case, the user's triggering instruction (such as a power-on instruction) can be recognized first, and the controller 3 can officially work after obtaining the user's triggering instruction.

[0089] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the cooking device can be in a powered-on state, with at least the display screen 2 being powered on. The cooking identification can control the display screen 2 to switch and display target cooking information that matches the current cooking period according to the current period.

[0090] In this embodiment, the cooking device can be powered on, and the display screen 2 can be powered on. The cooking body 1 of the cooking device can be in a sleep mode (non-operating state). In this case, the cooking device can control the display screen 2 to switch to display target cooking information that matches the current cooking time period according to the current time period.

[0091] In other words, the cooking device can automatically display target cooking information that matches the current cooking period on the display screen 2 according to the change of the cooking period, without receiving a trigger instruction from the user. In this way, when the user wants to cook, he only needs to confirm the current target cooking information, and the cooking body 1 will operate according to the current target cooking information.

[0092] It should be noted here that when the display screen 2 switches to display the target cooking information that matches the current cooking period, it can be combined with automatic sensing technology and / or biometric technology. For example, when a user is detected within a predetermined area, the target cooking information corresponding to the current period can be displayed on the display screen 2. When the user is not detected within the predetermined area, it can be not displayed, or displayed at a lower brightness, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0093] On the whole, when the cooking device provided in the embodiment of the present application is in use, the clock module 31 can obtain the current time of the cooking device, and the information matching module 32 can match the target cooking information that is adapted to the cooking needs of the user's current cooking period based on the current time. The display screen 2 can automatically display the target cooking information that meets the user's current cooking needs on the display screen 2. After the signal acquisition unit 4 waits for the user to confirm the target cooking information, the cooking body 1 can operate based on the target cooking information. During the entire process, the user does not need to manually set the working parameters of the cooking body 1, thereby greatly simplifying the user's operation of setting parameters, improving the convenience and intelligence of using the cooking equipment, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0094] In one embodiment, at least one of the common cooking settings, common recipes, and recommended recipes may include working parameters of the cooking body 1, and the working parameters of the cooking body 1 may include any one or a combination of the following: cooking time, cooking temperature, and cooking mode.

[0095] Specifically, the common cooking settings may include operating parameters of the cooking body 1. The operating parameters may vary depending on the specific form of the cooking device. For example, the operating parameters of the cooking body 1 may include cooking time, cooking temperature, and cooking mode.

[0096] In addition, the preset cooking information related to recipes, such as commonly used recipes and recommended recipes, may include recipe information, such as pictures of the dishes to be cooked, and may also store corresponding working parameters of the cooking body 1 when cooking the dishes, such as cooking ingredients, cooking temperature, and cooking mode.

[0097] In some embodiments, the preset cooking information may further include: user identity information.

[0098] In order to meet the personalized cooking needs of different users in the same family, the preset cooking information can include the identity information of different users, or the preset cooking information can be stored in association with the user's identity information. For example, different cooking data can be stored in the controller 3 for different users.

[0099] When the user turns on the machine, the existing biometric recognition technology (fingerprint recognition technology, face recognition technology, etc.) can be used to obtain the current user's identity information, thereby calling the cooking data that matches the current user.

[0100] When the preset cooking information is associated with the user's identity information, the cooking device may further include a user identity recognition module for recognizing the user's identity information. Determining the target cooking information that matches the cooking time period from the preset cooking information may specifically include: determining the target cooking information that matches the cooking time period of the current user from the preset cooking information based on the recognition result of the user's identity information.

[0101] In one embodiment, the target cooking information includes any one or a combination of the following: common cooking settings corresponding to the current cooking period, common recipes, recommended recipes, and user identity information.

[0102] In this embodiment, since the target cooking information is a set of cooking information determined from the preset cooking information, the type of the target cooking information can refer to the description of the preset cooking information above, and this application will not elaborate on it here.

[0103] In some embodiments, the preset cooking information is determined by any one of the following or a combination thereof: based on the historical cooking data of the cooking device; based on the cooking data of the cooking device in the last preset cycle; based on the cooking data last used by the cooking device; based on the geographical location information of the cooking device.

[0104] In this embodiment, the preset cooking information can be determined in one or more ways. For example, the preset cooking information can be pre-stored in the controller 3. When the cooking device leaves the factory, initial preset cooking information is pre-stored. The initial preset cooking information can be obtained after optimization through big data statistical analysis.

[0105] In the first case, the preset cooking information may be determined according to geographical location information of the cooking device.

[0106] Specifically, the preset cooking information may include recommended recipes, and the cooking device may further include a communication module, which can communicate with a server. Determining the preset cooking information based on the geographic location information of the cooking device includes: based on the server's recognition result of the geographic location information of the cooking device, receiving recommended recipes pushed by the server that match the current cooking period.

[0107] When the preset cooking information is determined based on the geographical location information of the cooking device, the cooking device may include a communication module that can send the geographical location information of the cooking device to the server. The server can obtain the cooking data of the cooking devices in each region in real time, so that it can be classified and summarized according to different regions to form a database. The server can select the cooking data (such as recipes) of the region corresponding to the geographical location information of the cooking device from the database based on the geographical location information of the cooking device and push it to the cooking device. When the server classifies and summarizes the recipes according to different regions to form a database, it can sort the recipes in order of frequency of occurrence, so that the recipes with the highest ranking can be pushed to the cooking device as recommended recipes to be displayed on the display screen 2 for the user to use or refer to. Since the above-mentioned recommended recipes are recommended based on the geographical location information of the current cooking device, they can usually better match the user's dining habits. In addition, they can also solve the dilemma of users who want to change their own recipes but have no choice.

[0108] Alternatively, in the second case, when the cooking device is in the user's home, the preset cooking information can be determined based on the historical cooking data of the cooking device.

[0109] For example, the controller 3 can accumulate cooking data from each use of the cooking device over different time periods. Furthermore, the accumulated cooking data can be sorted by frequency of occurrence, and one or more cooking data with the highest frequency of occurrence can subsequently be used as preset cooking information. Because the aforementioned cooking data is generated by the current user during use, when the preset cooking information is determined based on the cooking device's historical cooking data, the user's usage habits can be accurately captured, thereby determining preset cooking information that matches the user's usage habits.

[0110] Alternatively, in the third case, the preset cooking information may be determined based on cooking data in a previous preset cycle.

[0111] A user's cooking habits may change over time, for example, depending on ambient temperature, or the user's own cooking habits may also evolve over time. To adapt to the user's dynamically changing cooking habits, a preset period can be set, such as one month, two weeks, or one week, during which cooking data from each cooking device usage at different times can be accumulated. Furthermore, the accumulated cooking data within the preset period can be ranked by frequency of occurrence, and one or more cooking data with the highest frequency of occurrence can subsequently be used as the preset cooking information.

[0112] The preset cooking information may include commonly used cooking settings, and a method for determining the commonly used cooking settings corresponding to the current cooking period of the cooking device includes:

[0113] The frequency of occurrence of the working parameters of the cooking body 1 accumulated in the last preset period or historical usage records;

[0114] The operating parameters of the cooking body 1 that appear most frequently and / or second most frequently and / or third most frequently in each different cooking period are identified, and the operating parameters of the cooking body 1 that appear most frequently and / or second most frequently and / or third most frequently frequently and / or third most frequently frequently and / or third most frequently occurring are used as the commonly used cooking settings corresponding to the different cooking periods.

[0115] Alternatively, the preset cooking information may include commonly used recipes, and the method for determining the commonly used recipe corresponding to the current cooking period of the cooking device includes:

[0116] The frequency of cooking recipes appearing in the last preset period or in the historical usage records;

[0117] The cooking recipes with the highest and / or second highest and / or third highest frequency in each different cooking time period are identified, and the cooking recipes with the highest and / or second highest and / or third highest frequency are used as the commonly used recipes in the corresponding different cooking time periods.

[0118] Alternatively, in the fourth case, the preset cooking information may be determined based on cooking data last used on the cooking device.

[0119] When the preset cooking information is determined based on the cooking data of the last use of the cooking appliance, the cooking data of the last use can be compared with the cooking data of the second last use, and the cooking data of the last use is usually new cooking data which is different from the cooking data of the second last use. When it is found through comparison that there is a difference between the cooking data of the last two uses, the new cooking data of the current last use can be stored, so as to sensitively identify the change of the current cooking habit of the user.

[0120] The preset cooking information can include common cooking settings, and the common cooking settings corresponding to the cooking period in which the cooking appliance is currently located can be determined by taking the cooking data of the last use corresponding to the cooking period as the common cooking settings corresponding to the cooking period in which the cooking appliance is currently located.

[0121] Alternatively, the preset cooking information can include common recipes, and the common recipes corresponding to the cooking period in which the cooking appliance is currently located can be determined by taking the cooking recipe of the last use corresponding to the cooking period as the cooking recipe corresponding to the cooking period in which the cooking appliance is currently located.

[0122] In some embodiments, the display screen 2 has a function preset area 21 which can be operated to determine the determination manner of the preset cooking information.

[0123] In the embodiment, the determination manner of the preset cooking information can be selected by the user. For example, the display screen 2 can have a function preset area 21 in which a plurality of determination manners of the preset cooking information can be displayed to the user, and the user can select according to the use habit and demand of the user. Specifically, the function preset area 21 can display a determination option for determining the preset cooking information, and the determination option can include any one or a combination of the following: a first option of determining based on the historical cooking data of the cooking appliance; a second option of determining based on the cooking data of the cooking appliance in the last preset period; a third option of determining based on the cooking data of the last use of the cooking appliance; and a fourth option of determining based on the geographical position information of the cooking appliance.

[0124] According to the difference of the type and function of the display screen 2, the position and manner required by the user to operate can also be different.

[0125] In an embodiment, the display screen 2 can be a touch screen arranged on the cooking appliance, and the target cooking information and the function preset area 21 can be displayed on the touch screen.

[0126] When the display screen 2 is a touch screen provided on the cooking device, the display screen 2 may have a sufficient size to provide the above-mentioned function preset area 21, and the user may operate directly on the touch screen.

[0127] Alternatively, the display screen 2 may include a touch button panel arranged on the cooking device, and the cooking device also includes a communication module, which can communicate with the mobile terminal. The APP of the mobile terminal displays the function preset area 21, and the touch button panel displays the target cooking information.

[0128] When the display screen 2 is a touch panel provided on the cooking device, the display screen 2 is typically relatively small and may not have sufficient space for the function preset area 21. The touch panel may include a power button and / or a confirmation button, as well as an area for displaying the target cooking information. To select a method for determining the preset cooking information, the cooking device may utilize a communication module to communicate with a mobile terminal, and the function preset area 21 may be displayed on the mobile terminal's app, allowing the user to operate the function preset area 21 on the mobile terminal.

[0129] Of course, the specific form of the display screen 2 can also be other forms, and the method for determining the preset cooking information is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0130] In some embodiments, the display screen 2 can also identify whether the user has performed a modification operation on the target cooking information; when the user performs a modification operation on the target cooking information, the target cooking information is updated according to the current cooking information generated by the modification operation.

[0131] In this embodiment, after the display screen 2 displays the target cooking information on the display screen 2, it can determine whether the current user has performed a modification operation on the target cooking information. If there is no modification operation, after the user confirms the target cooking information, the cooking body 1 can be controlled to operate with the target cooking information displayed on the display screen 2; if a modification operation is recognized, the cooking body 1 can operate according to the current cooking information generated by the user's current modification operation; at the same time, the target cooking information on the display screen 2 is updated to the current cooking information after the user's modification operation, thereby meeting the user's current new cooking needs.

[0132] The user may modify the target cooking information on the display screen 2 or through a mobile terminal that is in communication with the cooking body 1 .

[0133] In one embodiment, a cooking parameter setting area 22 is further provided in the display screen 2, and the cooking parameter setting area 22 of the display screen 2 identifies the user's setting operation on the working parameters of the cooking body 1; when it is detected that the user has a new setting operation on the working parameters of the cooking body 1, the target cooking information is updated according to the current cooking information generated by the setting operation.

[0134] This embodiment differs from the above embodiment in that a cooking parameter setting area 22 may be provided in the display screen 2. Before or after the target cooking information is displayed on the display screen 2, the user may set cooking parameters in the cooking parameter setting area 22.

[0135] When the cooking parameter setting area 22 does not detect a new setting operation by the user, the cooking body 1 can be controlled to operate according to the target cooking information displayed on the display screen 2. When a new setting operation of the working parameters of the cooking body 1 is detected, the target cooking information is updated according to the current cooking information generated by the setting operation, and the cooking body 1 is controlled to operate according to the updated target cooking information.

[0136] Furthermore, in case that it is recognized that the user has modified the target cooking information or has set the cooking parameter in the cooking parameter setting area 22,

[0137] The controller 3 stores the current cooking information generated according to the detected modification operation or setting operation of the user as temporary cooking information; and displays the temporary cooking information on the display screen 2 next time the target cooking information is displayed on the display screen 2.

[0138] In this embodiment, when the user performs a modification operation on the target cooking information or performs a setting operation in the cooking parameter setting area 22, it indicates that the current user's cooking needs have changed. At this time, the current cooking information generated according to the detected user's modification operation or setting operation can be stored as temporary cooking information. The next time the target cooking information is displayed on the display screen 2, the temporary cooking information will be displayed on the display screen 2 for the user to select, thereby achieving a quick response to the user's cooking needs.

[0139] Furthermore, the controller 3 may also store the following control logic:

[0140] Counting the frequency of occurrence of the temporary cooking information in a preset time period;

[0141] When the frequency of the temporary cooking information appearing is less than the first preset frequency, and the time interval of the temporary cooking information appearing on the display screen 2 increases, the temporary cooking information is no longer displayed on the display screen 2 after the preset time period ends;

[0142] When the frequency of appearance of the temporary cooking information is greater than or equal to a second preset frequency, and the temporary cooking information is periodically displayed on the display screen 2, after the preset time period ends, the temporary cooking information is displayed on the display screen 2 as the target cooking information, and the second preset frequency is greater than or equal to the first preset frequency.

[0143] In case the user's cooking needs change temporarily, in further use, the frequency of occurrence of the temporary cooking information can be counted during a preset time period, and based on the counted frequency of occurrence of the temporary cooking information, it can be determined whether the temporary cooking information needs to be retained or deleted or updated to the target cooking information.

[0144] In a specific determination, if the temporary cooking information appears less frequently and decreases during subsequent use of the cooking device within a preset time period, it can be determined that the current user does not need to use the temporary cooking information on a long-term basis. In this case, the temporary cooking information can be no longer displayed on the display screen 2 after the preset time period expires. The length of the preset time period can be a fixed value or can be set according to user needs, and this application does not impose a single numerical limit.

[0145] If the temporary cooking information appears frequently and the frequency of appearance is increasing during the subsequent use of the cooking device, it may indicate that the current user has a need to use the temporary cooking information for a long time. At this time, the temporary cooking information can be displayed as the target cooking information on the display screen 2 after the preset time period. At the same time, the cooking information can be stored as the preset cooking information, thereby realizing automatic identification and matching of the user's cooking needs.

[0146] In some embodiments, the cooking device further includes a function of updating the preset cooking information.

[0147] The preset cooking information may be determined in one or more ways as described in the above embodiments.

[0148] In the use process of the user, the preset cooking information is a dynamic changing information, which can be dynamically updated according to the cooking data of the user, the geographic location where the current cooking equipment is located and the like. The time length for updating the preset cooking information can be different according to different determination manners of the preset cooking information and different needs of the user, and the present application does not make specific limitation here. When it is necessary to update the preset cooking information, a prompt can also be sent to the user whether to update, so that the update of the preset cooking information is completed only when the user needs to update, so as to best match the personalized use needs of the user.

[0149] In one embodiment, the cooking equipment can include a communication module capable of communicating with a mobile terminal, and an APP of the mobile terminal can send a prompt to the user to update the preset cooking information. The updating of the preset cooking information includes: after obtaining a confirmation signal generated by the user operating the APP of the mobile terminal, updating the preset cooking information.

[0150] Taking the case that the preset cooking information includes recommended recipes, when the server obtains that the recipes in the area where the current cooking equipment is located change, it can push confirmation information to the APP of the mobile terminal whether the recommended recipes need to be updated. When the user selects to confirm the update on the APP, the recommended recipes in the controller 3 are updated.

[0151] Of course, in another embodiment, when the server obtains that the recipes in the area where the current cooking equipment is located change, it can push confirmation information to the cooking equipment whether the recommended recipes need to be updated. When the user confirms the update on the display screen 2, the recommended recipes in the controller 3 are updated.

[0152] In the embodiments of the present application, a steam oven is mainly taken as an example for illustration, and when the cooking equipment is in other forms, it can be analogized with reference to the present application.

[0153] In one specific embodiment, taking the case that the cooking equipment is a steam oven, the cooking modes of the steam oven include: a steaming mode, a baking mode and an auxiliary function mode.

[0154] The steaming mode can include at least one of the following sub-modes: pure steaming, strong steaming and fast steaming; the baking mode can include at least one of the following sub-modes: hot air baking, air baking, grilling, humid baking and air frying.

[0155] The auxiliary function mode includes at least one of the following sub-modes: fermentation, thawing and heat preservation.

[0156] The cooking information displayed on the display screen 2 includes any one of the following or a combination thereof: commonly used cooking settings, commonly used recipes, and recommended recipes. The commonly used cooking settings, commonly used recipes, and recommended recipes all include working parameters of the cooking body 1. The working parameters of the cooking body 1 include any one of the following or a combination thereof: cooking time, cooking temperature, and cooking mode.

[0157] When a user turns on an existing steam oven, the panel displays a fixed mode, cooking temperature, and cooking time. For example, pure steam mode, 100°C, and 20 minutes are displayed. If the user wishes to bake in the baking mode, they must first manually adjust the mode, then the cooking temperature, and finally the cooking time. Manually adjusting these steps is tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0158] Table 1

[0159]

[0160] Specifically, take the steam oven operation in the morning period in Table 1 as an example:

[0161] If a user uses an existing steam oven and needs to cook three types of ingredients in the morning, and since the three types of ingredients require different operating parameters, the user needs to set the three operating parameters three times. Specifically, the user needs to spend a certain amount of time and effort to set the operating parameters for the first time; after completing the first cooking, the user needs to spend a certain amount of time and effort to set the operating parameters for the second time; after completing the second cooking, the user needs to spend a certain amount of time and effort to set the operating parameters for the third time.

[0162] When using the above-mentioned cooking device of the present application, when the steam oven is turned on, the target cooking information matching the current time and the current user can be displayed on the display screen 2 in each cooking period (a cooking period can include multiple sub-cooking periods). After the user simply confirms it, the cooking body 1 can operate with the target cooking information without the need to set the cooking mode, cooking temperature, and cooking time layer by layer, thereby saving the user a lot of time and energy when cooking.

[0163] The user's confirmation operation can also be simplified or omitted. For example, if the user does not need to modify the target cooking information displayed on the display screen 2 or does not perform any setting operation in the cooking parameter setting area 22 of the display screen 2, after the user puts the ingredients into the cooking body 1, the cooking body 1 can automatically operate with the current target cooking parameters.

[0164] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second" and the like are used only for descriptive purposes and to distinguish similar objects, and there is no precedence between them, nor can it be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0165] The above various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments.

[0166] The above is only a few embodiments of the present application, although the embodiments disclosed by the present application are as above, but the content is only to facilitate the understanding of the present application and the adopted embodiment, not for limiting the present application. Any person skilled in the art of the present application, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, can make any modification and change in the form and details of the embodiment, but the patent protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the scope defined by the appended claims.
