A mobile device for communicating with a smart appliance is disclosed. The mobile device includes a sensing element for detecting a current value of an operational feature of the smart appliance. A memory including a database including a table of data of other values associated with operational features is included or accessible online. The mobile device includes a processor for accessing the database, comparing the relevant current and other values and, when they do not match, generate instructions to the smart appliance to adjust its settings so as to bring the current and other values into alignment. The mobile device is configured to communicate with the smart appliance in a first state wherein data flows from the smart appliance to the mobile device only; and in a second state wherein the data flows in both directions.

Method for data communication with a domestic appliance by a mobile computer device, mobile computer device and domestic appliance

A mobile device for communicating with a smart appliance and the Internet is disclosed. The mobile device includes a sensing element for detecting a current value of an operational features of the smart appliance. A memory including relationships between other values and operational features is provided. A processor is also provided for accessing the memory and comparing the current and other values to determine whether there is a match. If the values do not match, the process generates and sends instructions to the smart appliance to adjust its settings so as to bring the current and other values into alignment. The mobile device is also in communication with the Internet where the mobile device may draw upon online resources to perform or support performing any of the above steps.

The invention relates to a food preparation entity comprising a cavity () for receiving food () to be prepared and at least two cameras () for capturing images of the food () included in the cavity (), wherein said cameras () are positioned such that images are captured from different points of view, wherein each camera () comprises a certain field of view (), wherein immediately adjacent fields of view () of said cameras () at least partially overlap and wherein a processing entity () is provided which is configured to calculate three-dimensional information of the food () included in the cavity () based on the images provided by the cameras ().

Food preparation entity

A method for data communication with a domestic appliance by a mobile computer device. The domestic appliance and the mobile computer device are interconnected or interconnectable via a wireless data connection. The wireless data connection is adapted for transferring signals between the domestic appliance and the mobile computer device. Further, the present invention relates to application software for the mobile computer device. Moreover, the present invention relates to a domestic appliance. Additionally, the present invention relates to a mobile computer device including a display or touch screen.

A system for preparing or semi-preparing food that includes at least one 3D printer and at least one food supporting device. The 3D printer includes at least one extruder for delivering and modelling at least one food paste and/or food powder onto the food supporting device, and at least one heating device for preheating the food paste and/or the food powder and at least one cooling device for precooling the food paste and/or the food powder. The 3D printer is controlled or controllable by a user interface, microcontroller, computer and/or computer program. The system includes at least one cooking hob for heating the modelled food on the food supporting device. The temperature for each food paste and/or food powder is individually adjustable. The food supporting device is a pan, cooking vessel, cooking pot, tray, plancha or container arranged on a cooking zone of the cooking hob.

System for preparing or semi-preparing food

A domestic appliance, in particular a cooking oven, with a camera. The domestic appliance includes a treatment chamber and a door for opening and closing the treatment chamber. The door includes a window or a transparent part. The door includes a door handle arranged at an outer side of said door. The camera is arranged inside the door handle, wherein the lens coverage of the camera extends from said camera through the window or transparent portion of the door into the interior of the treatment chamber. Picture signals generated by the camera are represented or representable by a picture displaying device, wherein said picture displaying device is a part of the control unit of the domestic appliance and/or a part of an external device connected or connectable to said domestic appliance.

Domestic appliance, in particular cooking oven, with a camera

A domestic oven () comprising a heatable oven cavity () having a frontal opening (), and a door () for closing said frontal opening (), wherein the door () comprises a first door wing () and a second door wing (), wherein each door wing () comprises a first vertical edge () that is mounted pivotally about a vertical axis (a, a') respectively on one of the opposite sides () of said frontal opening () to a structure () of the domestic oven () for a movement between a closed position (c) and an open position (b) of the door (), wherein in said closed position (c) of the door () the door wings () form a vertical gap () between adjacent second vertical edges () of either door wing ().

Domestic oven having a door with two door wings

The present invention relates to a cooking control device that comprises sensors () and a communication unit () to communicate with a display processing device (). In this manner, taste values of the cooking substance reflecting the current status of the cooking process can be compared with pre-stored taste values representative of a desired cooking result and seasoning advice according to a recipe can be established and presented to a user to converge the cooking status with the desired cooking result.

Cooking control device, cooking control system and computer program product

The present invention relates to a temperature detection assembly () for a cooking pot (). Said temperature detection assembly () comprises a straight and elongated bar (), at least one SAW (surface acoustic wave) temperature sensor () arranged inside a lower end portion of the bar (), a sensor antenna () connected to an upper end of the bar (), and at least one handle () connected to the upper end of the bar (). The SAW temperature sensor () or a heat conducting element connected to said SAW temperature sensor () is spaced from a lower end of the bar () by a predetermined distance, wherein a non-heat-conducting material is arranged between the SAW temperature sensor () or the heat conducting element, respectively, and the lower end of the bar (). Further, the present invention relates to a lid () for a cooking pot (), wherein the lid () is provided for receiving a temperature detection assembly () with a straight and elongated bar (). The lid () comprises an elongated guide tube () for receiving the bar () of the temperature detection assembly (), wherein an outer diameter of the bar () is marginally smaller than an inner diameter the guide tube ().
