Method and device for the targeted conveying of information to customers using cooking appliances and/or to cooking appliances of a cooking appliance manufacturer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems for cooking appliances primarily rely on machine-supported information dissemination, failing to consider user-specific preferences, energy constraints, technical issues, and multiple user scenarios, leading to irrelevant information flooding.
Innovation Solution
A method where the cooking appliance manufacturer determines and evaluates user utilization behavior to provide targeted information, considering various influencing parameters, including user preferences, energy usage, and cooking methods, allowing for real-time adaptation and personalized content delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If machine-supported information communication is used, then information can be transmitted automatically, but the information quality and relevance deteriorates due to lack of professional evaluation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service provider as an intermediary between the cooking appliance manufacturer and the user. This service provider performs professional evaluation of information and advertising content before transmission, ensuring quality and relevance while maintaining automated communication. The service provider acts as a mediator that filters and evaluates content based on user profiles and preferences, resolving the contradiction between automation and information quality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If advertising machines and user profile databases are used, then targeted advertising can be provided, but energy costs and technical problems increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by selectively transmitting only relevant information and advertising content based on user profiles and preferences, rather than continuously transmitting all available content. This reduces energy consumption for information processing and transmission while maintaining targeted delivery. The system evaluates and transmits only the necessary portion of information, avoiding excessive energy usage.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users are considered, then user coverage increases, but information targeting becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the user base into individual user profiles with distinct preferences and characteristics. The service provider evaluates information and advertising content separately for each user profile, allowing targeted delivery to multiple users without overwhelming complexity. Each user receives customized content based on their specific profile, resolving the contradiction between multi-user support and evaluation complexity.

AI summary
A method and device for the targeted conveying of information to individuals using cooking appliances and/or to at least one cooking appliance. The method includes determining usage behavior of the customer(s) or operating behavior of the cooking appliance(s), transferring the usage behavior or the operating behavior to the cooking appliance manufacturer, saving the usage behavior or the operating behavior, receiving information sent by cooperation partners of the cooking appliance manufacturer or receiving information established internally at the manufacturer, evaluating the received information taking into consideration the saved usage or operating behavior, determining which received information or information established internally at the manufacturer could be of interest for customers or for the cooking appliance, and conveying the determined information of interest to the customer or to the cooking appliance. The device includes a user interface, a determination unit, a transmission unit, and a control unit.
