Description

[0001] The invention relates to a food processor with at least one preparation vessel, with at least one control unit, and at least one internal display device. The preparation vessel has at least one heating device and at least one stirring device. At least one user profile can be evaluated with the control unit, wherein the control unit at least activates and deactivates operating functions based on the evaluation of the at least one user profile, such that the operating functions available to a user correspond to the evaluated user profile. The internal display device can be used to display a user menu for operation or selection of at least one operating function by a user.

[0002] Kitchen appliances of this type are known in the prior art in a variety of configurations. For example, kitchen appliances are designed for the semi-automatic preparation of food in the home.

[0003] DE 10 2011 053 990 A1, for example, discloses a food processor and a method for user-defined activation of a food processor. To operate the food processor, various user profiles can be selected by entering an activation code. The activation code for activating a user profile is entered using both the touch display and at least one other switch on the food processor.

[0004] WO 2014 / 083 029 A1 discloses a food processor with a heatable mixing bowl. The food processor has a camera and at least one microphone so that a user and their gestures can be recognized and voice commands can be processed.

[0005] DE 10 2014 112 114 A1 discloses a kitchen appliance with a recording unit for a time and location data. Based on this data, the available recipes are adapted, for example. Furthermore, it is disclosed that new recipes and updates can be obtained via the kitchen appliance's internet connection.

[0006] WO 2015 / 162 421 A1 discloses a kitchen appliance with gesture or voice control. To detect the gestures or voice signals, the kitchen appliance has at least one sensor that records audio, video, or infrared signals.

[0007] DE 10 2013 106865 A1 discloses an electric motor-driven food processor with a mixing bowl and a stirring mechanism, wherein the food processor can be adjusted to suit the user's specific needs, with a manually operable control panel being provided. The control panel has a data memory and a data interface for reading the data contained in the data memory on the device side, wherein a user-specific setting can be defined using the data.

[0008] The kitchen appliances and methods known from the state of the art have the disadvantage that user administration is associated with a high operating effort.

[0009] The present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a kitchen appliance and a method for operating a kitchen appliance in which the operating effort for user management is reduced.

[0010] In a generic kitchen appliance, the above-mentioned object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1 in that the user profile to be evaluated by the control unit is determined based on the processing of at least one environmental parameter, and that radio signals that can be received by the kitchen appliance serve as environmental parameters, and that a user profile is determined based on the criterion of whether at least one or more predefined radio networks and / or a short-range transmitter and / or a predefined smartphone is / are available, and / or that the user profile to be evaluated by the control unit is determined by processing data received from a data server via the data interface that can be connected to a data network.

[0011] The food processor according to the invention is designed in particular for preparing food. The food processor has at least one preparation vessel for holding food or ingredients. The preparation vessel is designed, for example, as a pot. The preparation vessel preferably has an integrated heating device and an integrated stirring device. Food can be heated with the heating device. Food can be stirred and / or chopped with the stirring device. The stirring device preferably has at least one blade. The food processor also has at least one control unit with which, in particular, the operating functions of the food processor can be controlled and at least activated and deactivated. The control unit preferably also controls program sequences for preparing food, e.g., recipes.Operating functions include the functions defined by the technical functionality of the food processor, e.g., heating device, rotating tool, and interfaces, as well as program sequences for controlling the food processor, content displayed on the display, and functions combined from these. The control unit is specifically designed and configured for data processing. "Activation" and "deactivation" by the control unit means both the activation and deactivation of the availability of the operating function for a user and—depending on the operating function—the direct control, i.e., switching the operating function on or off.

[0012] In order to determine which operating functions are activated or deactivated for a specific user, the control unit is set up and configured to evaluate at least one user profile and, based on the result of the evaluation, to set up the food processor accordingly, i.e. to activate or deactivate the operating functions, in particular to activate or deactivate the availability of the operating functions for a user, and / or to switch operating functions on or off directly. By evaluating a user profile, the food processor is set up for operation according to the specifications from the user profile. A user can operate the operating functions available to him, i.e. to select them or switch them on or off for use, in particular via the user menu.

[0013] The user profile, in particular the properties of the user profile, therefore determines how the food processor is to be configured by the control unit. A user profile is preferably a group of configuration values, in particular stored in a data memory. The configuration values ​​of the user profile are read by the control unit and used to configure the food processor. The user profile is, in particular, a configuration instruction that can be evaluated by the control unit for configuring the food processor.

[0014] The control unit configures the food processor, in particular, by changing configuration data or configuration parameters stored in the food processor's data memory, which are queried or used by the operating functions during operation of the food processor. Advantageously, the data memory is protected against unauthorized changes by security features of the control unit.

[0015] According to the invention, the selection, i.e., the determination of the user profile to be evaluated by the control unit, is simplified by determining the user profile to be evaluated based on the processing of at least one environmental parameter, in particular by the control unit, preferably from a plurality of available user profiles. Consequently, an environmental parameter that is at least partially influenced by the current operating environment of the food processor serves as a criterion for selecting the user profile to be evaluated and thus for determining the operating functions that should or should not be available, for example.

[0016] The food processor is therefore configured and designed to detect at least one environmental parameter, in particular a plurality of environmental parameters. For example, the food processor has at least one detection means, e.g., a sensor, for detecting an environmental parameter. The environmental parameters are radio signals receivable by the food processor, e.g., Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which are particularly characteristic of the operating location, and / or other signals from sensors, which are evaluated in order to draw conclusions about the operating environment and thus the current intended use of the food processor. The determination of the user profile to be evaluated and thus the configuration of the food processor for operation with the range of functions granted by the user profile is thus carried out automatically based on at least one environmental parameter.

[0017] Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that, in order to determine the user profile to be evaluated, processing, e.g., by the control unit, of data received via at least one data interface of the food processor is used. The food processor has, in particular, at least one data interface, e.g., WLAN, LAN, Bluetooth, USB, or a plurality of data interfaces. The data received at the data interface preferably determines the user profile to be evaluated. The data received at the at least one data interface originates, for example, from a data storage device connected locally to the data interface, in particular a mobile one, or from a data network connected to the data interface.Preferably, the food processor has a connection to the Internet via at least one data interface, so that the user profile to be evaluated is selected based on at least one data element received at the data interface, in particular from the Internet from at least one data server. The user profile to be evaluated is determined automatically by a data element provided externally via the data interface.

[0018] Furthermore, it is also intended that the user profile to be evaluated by the control unit is selected based on a manual selection in the user menu. For this purpose, it is intended, for example, that the user menu in the system settings allows selection from a number of available user profiles.

[0019] It is also envisaged that, in particular, the criteria described above are used cumulatively, so that, for example, both an environmental parameter and a data element received at a data interface are used as criteria for determining the user profile to be evaluated. Preferably, it is also envisaged that the availability of manual selection of user profiles, in particular the type and / or scope of the selectable user profiles, is determined in the user menu by the currently activated user profile and / or is determined based on environmental parameters and / or data received at the data interface.

[0020] The invention has the advantage over the prior art that a user- and application-specific configuration of the kitchen appliance is simplified, in particular if the selection of a user profile and thus the availability of operating functions is carried out automatically.

[0021] A first embodiment of the food processor provides that the control unit is configured such that at least one user profile can be adapted using data received at a data interface. For this purpose, the food processor preferably has at least one data interface with which data can be received. In the user profile, for example, the configuration values ​​for the availability of operating functions and / or the configuration values ​​for the availability of content that can be displayed on the internal display unit and / or other properties of the user profile are adapted within the scope of the adaptation. Furthermore, it is provided that the control unit is configured such that operating functions, in particular in the control unit or the data memory as configuration data, can be added or removed using data received at a data interface.These include, for example, new uses or new operating modes of the existing technical components of the kitchen appliance and / or new and modified interaction options via a data interface, etc.

[0022] Furthermore, it is intended that a new user profile can be created or a user profile deleted using data received at the data interface. The user profile is stored in non-volatile memory on the food processor and, after appropriate automated or manual selection, can be evaluated by the control unit in order to configure the food processor according to the specifications of the user profile.

[0023] According to a further embodiment, the selection of a user profile can be further simplified in particular by providing, after the food processor has been switched on, in particular during an initialization process, at least one unique identification data element of the food processor at the data interface for transmission via a data network to at least one data server, in particular by this transmission being carried out to the server.

[0024] The identification data element is, for example, a serial number, a kitchen appliance ID, or another data element that uniquely identifies the kitchen appliance. On the data server, the identification data element is preferably used to select the user profile to be evaluated and thus activated by the kitchen appliance's control unit. This selection is made, for example, using a list or database stored on the data server. For example, the identification data element is assigned to a user group on the data server, e.g., exhibition appliance or representative, and a specific user profile is assigned to the respective user group. In this way, a plurality of appliances can be configured uniformly.

[0025] After selecting or defining the user profile to be evaluated, at least one data element representing the selection made on the data server is sent via the data network to the data interface of the food processor or made available as data at the data interface. The control unit evaluates the user profile and configures the food processor accordingly.

[0026] This embodiment has the particular advantage that the user profile to be analyzed, in particular the assignment to a user group, can be changed, so that a change of the user profile to be evaluated can be flexibly determined depending on the identification element.

[0027] When evaluating environmental parameters to determine a user profile to be evaluated, it has proven advantageous according to a further embodiment if at least one signal from an electronic device received by at least one data interface is evaluated as an environmental parameter. For example, the availability of at least one wireless network, for example a WLAN network, is detected. According to the invention, a user profile is determined based on the criterion of whether at least one or more predefined wireless networks are available. For this purpose, a network identification, in particular the Service Set Identifier (SSID) and / or a MAC address (Media Access Control address), of at least one network device is preferably evaluated.For example, it is intended that the user profile will be defined even if the kitchen appliance itself does not identify itself in the network, i.e., does not connect to it. The mere availability of the network is sufficient as a criterion.

[0028] It is also provided that the control unit is set up and designed in such a way that the predefined radio networks or the predefined radio network, in particular a list of predetermined radio networks, can be adapted via data provided at the data interface.

[0029] It is also advantageously provided that the food processor has at least one optical detection device, e.g. a camera, and that an image captured by the optical detection device, in particular a captured face of a user, is analyzed as an environmental parameter and used to determine the user profile to be evaluated.

[0030] Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that the presence of a predefined smartphone is evaluated. For example, a list of identifiable smartphones is stored in a memory of the food processor, or the list is stored on a data server that the control unit can access via a data network. The smartphone is connected to the kitchen appliance, for example, via a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection or at least transmits Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals that the food processor, in particular the control unit of the food processor, can use to determine the presence of the smartphone. If the presence of the smartphone is detected, a predetermined user profile, for example a user profile intended for presentation purposes, is activated.

[0031] Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that a short-range transmitter, in particular a Bluetooth transmitter, and / or geographical position data and / or weather data, for example, air pressure, and / or acoustic data, for example, ambient noise, are evaluated as environmental parameters. It is provided that, for example, the presence of a Bluetooth transmitter, for example a so-called Bluetooth beacon, is detected. Such a Bluetooth transmitter is installed, for example, in a salesroom, so that the food processor recognizes that it is located in a salesroom, and a user profile is automatically evaluated based on this environmental parameter.

[0032] Furthermore, it is provided that geographical positioning data, for example from an existing GPS antenna, or positioning data that can be obtained from the reception strength of a plurality of radio transmitters, are used to select the user profile to be evaluated. Furthermore, it is provided that weather data, for example the ambient air pressure, are evaluated, in particular to draw conclusions about whether the food processor is located indoors or outdoors. This environmental parameter is preferably combined with the evaluation of other environmental parameters to determine the user profile.

[0033] It is also intended that acoustic data, such as ambient noise, be evaluated. For this purpose, the food processor has at least one acoustic sensor, in particular a microphone. If, for example, a plurality of human voices can be detected as ambient noise via at least the sensor, this can be used as a criterion for determining that the food processor is located, for example, in a salesroom or at a trade fair, whereby a specific user profile is evaluated by the control unit. This acoustic ambient parameter is preferably combined with the evaluation of other ambient parameters to determine the user profile.

[0034] Preferably, the environmental parameter is detected and evaluated after the food processor is switched on, in particular during an initialization process.

[0035] Particularly when using the food processor as a display unit, it has proven advantageous according to a further embodiment if the control unit configures the food processor by evaluating a user profile in such a way that a time-controlled and / or program-controlled shutdown of the display device is deactivated. Typically, the display unit is automatically switched off when the food processor is not in use after a predetermined period of non-use or due to a program sequence. According to the invention, this automatic shutdown of the display unit can be deactivated or is deactivated by the control unit.

[0036] Preferably, access to external data and content, for example recipes, by means of the food processor is simplified in that, according to a further embodiment, the control unit configures the food processor by evaluating a user profile in such a way that identification information is provided at the data interface for transmission to at least one data server, whereby automatic identification of the food processor on a data server can take place. By evaluating a specific user profile, the control unit consequently configures the food processor in such a way that identification information is made available at the data interface, which enables access to specific content and data on a data server.For individual user profiles, identification by the user on the data server is therefore not necessary, since the kitchen appliance has already identified itself automatically and has activated the content, e.g., recipes for controlling program sequences on the kitchen appliance.

[0037] Preferably, in order to be able to present the functionality of the food processor to a plurality of viewers at the same time, according to a further embodiment of the food processor, the control unit sets up the food processor by evaluating a user profile in such a way that display information shown on the internal display device is also made available on at least one data interface for display on an external display device. The user menu or other information, such as videos and drawings, for example, is shown on the internal display device. The control unit then sets up the food processor in such a way that this display information is made available via the data interface, for example a radio interface, in particular a WLAN interface, in order to display it on an external display device, for example on a projector or a large monitor.Preferably, the control unit sets up the food processor in such a way that the display of the internal display device can be mirrored onto an external display device.

[0038] Furthermore, according to a further embodiment, the display information displayed on the external display device is supplemented with additional graphic information based on the current status of the food processor, operating behavior, and / or user inputs, or reduced by additional information. This additional information is preferably supplemented depending on the operating status of the food processor and user behavior, in particular by entering operating commands. This involves, for example, a graphic highlighting of selected content or functions or the removal of selected content.

[0039] According to a further embodiment, it is preferably provided that the addition of the additional graphic information or the removal of the secondary graphic information for display on the external display device is triggered by a user touching the internal display device. Touching the internal display device, which is designed in particular as a touch display, consequently causes the addition of additional graphic information or the removal of secondary graphic information in the representation of the external display device. For example, the position of the additional information on the external display device corresponds, scaled, to the position of the touch on the internal display device. If, for example, the user touches the internal display device at the bottom right, the additional graphic information is also displayed at the bottom right of the external display device.In particular, the additional graphic information corresponds to a graphic object touched by the user on the internal display device.

[0040] A further embodiment of the food processor provides that means for speech recognition are provided, in particular that the control unit sets up the food processor for evaluating a user profile in such a way that display information provided for display on an external display device is supplemented with additional graphic information or reduced by graphic minor information, and that the supplementation of the additional graphic information or reduction by minor information is triggered by keywords recognized in the context of a speech recognition carried out.

[0041] Speech recognition is therefore carried out using the speech recognition tool, and the sounds detected in the food processor's environment are analyzed for keywords. Speech recognition takes place, for example, locally in the food processor's control unit or externally on a data server. If, for example, a keyword is recognized, one or more additional pieces of information assigned to the keyword are added to the display information provided for display on an external display device, or predetermined sub-information is removed from the display information. For example, content of the display information relating to the specified keyword can be highlighted and / or other content can be grayed out or removed.

[0042] Preferably for explaining inputs on a tablet or smartphone, for example when selecting a recipe, a further embodiment of the food processor provides that the control unit sets up the food processor by evaluating a user profile in such a way that external display information can be received via the data interface and shown on the internal display device. For example, display information, for example from the display of a smartphone or tablet, can be received via the data interface and shown on the internal display device of the food processor. In this way, for example, in the context of a cooking class, the selection of a recipe or similar can be carried out by input on a tablet, while each participant can follow the input on a kitchen appliance.

[0043] Furthermore, it is envisaged that the external display information can be, for example, video data received via the data interface, in particular from a data network, e.g., the Internet, or a live video stream. This allows the user of the food processor to follow a product presentation or a cooking event.

[0044] A further embodiment, which is particularly advantageous for use in cooking classes, provides that the control unit configures the kitchen appliance by evaluating a user profile in such a way that external display information can be received via the data interface and made available at the data interface for display on an external display device. In this way, for example, the display content, i.e., the display information of a tablet or smartphone, can be received from the kitchen appliance via the data interface and also made available at the data interface for display on an external display device.

[0045] This design means that the presenter does not have to switch between different display sources during a product presentation, but can seamlessly display content from different devices, in particular the food processor and a smartphone or tablet.

[0046] Particularly for sales and product presentations, a further embodiment has proven preferable if the control unit, by evaluating a user profile, configures the food processor in such a way that the receipt and / or sending of instructions and / or messages, in particular emails or SMS, is possible via the data interface. This provides that, for example, a representative at a product presentation, after switching on the device, sees up-to-date information, i.e. instructions, newly available recipes, or other newly available information, displayed on the food processor's display. The user profile evaluated for this purpose therefore corresponds to the user profile of a representative.

[0047] In this embodiment, centralized communication and centralized information exchange for product presentation or other information are possible via the food processor. It is also preferably possible to send instructions, information, or messages from the food processor, particularly for interacting with the user of another food processor.

[0048] A further embodiment of the food processor according to the invention provides that the control unit sets up the food processor by evaluating a user profile in such a way that access for a user to information stored in the food processor and / or retrievable from a data server via the data interface and displayable on the internal display device, in particular a product catalog, product videos and / or messages, is activated.

[0049] In particular, for example, the user menu shown on the internal display device is changed accordingly to enable access to the activated information.

[0050] The aforementioned object is further achieved by a method for operating a food processor with at least one control unit and at least one display device. The food processor is preferably designed according to one of the above embodiments. The method provides that the user profile to be evaluated by the control unit is determined based on the processing of data received via at least one data interface.

[0051] According to the method, after the food processor is switched on, at least one unique identification data element of the food processor is transmitted at the data interface via a data network to at least one data server. The data server is configured such that, based on the identification data element, a user profile to be evaluated is selected from a plurality of user profiles on the data server. In particular, the selection is made by assigning the identification data element and thus the food processor to a user group. A user profile is defined for the user group. The data server then transmits corresponding selection data to the data interface via the data network to initiate the evaluation of the selected user profile by the control unit.

[0052] Furthermore, it is provided that, after the user profile has been defined, the data server and / or at least one other data server sends further data to the kitchen appliance via the data interface, in particular data that supplements or adapts the user profile, or contains information for a user. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the figures and the dependent claims. They show: Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a kitchen appliance in a perspective side view, Fig. 2 shows a scheme for determining the user profile to be evaluated, and Fig. 3 shows a schematic sequence of the method according to the invention.

[0053] In the various figures of the drawing, identical parts are always provided with the same reference symbols.

The food processor 1 is designed for preparing food and has a housing 4 and a preparation pot 5 in which food can be chopped, stirred, and kept warm. The preparation pot 5 can be at least partially accommodated in the housing 4. The display device 3 is preferably designed as a touch display. To control the food processor 1, a control element 6 in the form of a rotary knob is also provided, which also allows switching and confirmation inputs.

[0055] According to Fig. 2At least one user profile 7 from a plurality of user profiles can be defined with the control unit 2 in order to evaluate the user profile 7 after the definition. Based on the evaluation of a user profile 7, operating functions 8a, 8b can be activated and deactivated, so that the operating functions 8a, 8b are available or not available for a user. The operating functions 8a are available, the operating functions 8b are not available. According to Fig. 1 In particular, the available operating functions 8a can be displayed as a user menu 9 using the internal display device 3. Unavailable operating functions 8b are not displayed, in particular, on the internal display device 3.

[0056] The selection of at least one user profile 7 to be evaluated by the control unit 2 is carried out according to Fig. 2based on the processing of at least one environmental parameter 10 and / or by processing data 12 received via at least one data interface 11 and / or by manual selection 13 in the user menu 9.

[0058] The control unit 2 is further configured such that at least one user profile 7 can be adapted and / or a new user profile 7 can be created using data 12 received at the data interface 11. To create a new user profile 7, the required data can be requested by the control unit 2 at the data interface 11, for example, from the data server 15 via a data network 14, e.g., the Internet.

[0059] The food processor 1 can be set up by evaluating a user profile with the control unit 2 in such a way that display information intended for presentation on the internal display unit 3 is made available at the data interface 11 for presentation on an external display unit 16. Fig. 3 shows a method 100 for operating a kitchen appliance 1 according to Fig. 1 .

[0060] After switching on 101 the food processor 1, a transmission 102 of an identification data element of the food processor 1 takes place - see Fig. 1 - via data interface 11 - see Fig. 2- and a data network 14 to at least one data server 15. The data server 15 is configured and designed such that, based on the identification data element, a selection 103 of a user profile 7 to be evaluated is made from a plurality of user profiles 7, which are stored in particular on the data server 15. The identification data element is preferably assigned to a user group. At least one user profile 7 is, in turn, assigned to the user group.
