Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cooking devices lack the ability to personalize cooking parameters for different user preferences, as their cooking programs are fixed and cannot adapt to individual tastes, leading to inconsistent cooking results.

Innovation Solution

A control method for cooking devices that acquires feedback information on the cooking degree of food after completion, adjusts and saves cooking parameters based on user evaluation, allowing for personalized cooking settings through image identification and feedback loops.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed cooking programs are used in cooking devices, then the device operation is simple and reliable, but the device cannot meet personalized user preferences and cooking degree requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepersonalized cooking degree settingVSAvoidcontrol system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by collecting user evaluations of cooking degree after cooking completion, using this feedback to dynamically adjust and optimize cooking parameters for future cooking sessions, enabling personalized cooking without requiring complex upfront programming

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-learning by automatically analyzing user feedback and adjusting cooking parameters autonomously, allowing the cooking device to adapt to individual preferences without requiring manual reconfiguration or complex user intervention

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If cooking parameters are made adjustable for personalization, then user preferences can be satisfied, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecooking parameter customizationVSAvoidparameter setting complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically learns and adjusts cooking parameters based on user feedback without requiring manual configuration, making the device adaptable to personal preferences while maintaining simple operation through automated parameter optimization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual parameter adjustment is required for each cooking session, then personalized cooking can be achieved, but the time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecooking degree controlVSAvoidparameter setting time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically adjusts cooking parameters based on learned user preferences from previous sessions, eliminating the need for manual parameter setting while maintaining personalized cooking results, thus saving user time

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary learning during initial cooking sessions to establish personalized cooking parameters, so that subsequent cooking sessions can proceed with pre-optimized settings, reducing time investment in future operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A control method for a cooking device includes: after cooking is complete, acquiring feedback information corresponding to a current cooking degree of food material; adjusting and saving cooking parameters corresponding to food materials according to the feedback information. The control method for a cooking device acquires feedback information from a user about the current cooking degree of food material, and obtains the user's evaluation of the current cooking degree of food material. The control method also adjusts cooking parameters corresponding to the food material. The cooking parameters are saved according to the user's evaluation of the current cooking degree of food material, to provide a user-defined cooking degree of food material that satisfies the user's specific requirements of the cooking degree of food material, and improves the intelligence of the cooking device.
