A microwave oven cooking food using a bar code, and a method controlling same. The microwave oven comprises a bar code scanner for obtaining bar code data from the bar code attached to the food; and a controller for obtaining cooking data corresponding to the microwave oven from the bar code data, setting cooking conditions based on the obtained cooking data, and performing the cooking of the food according to the set cooking conditions. Accordingly, it is possible to develop cooking sets regardless of the manufacturing times of foods, and food producers can put foods applied compatibly to plural cooking sets on the market and easily control inventory.

Microwave oven using bar code and method for controlling the same

An apparatus and method for controlling a microwave oven using a bar code. The apparatus includes an operating panel provided on the front surface of the microwave oven, a bar code scanner installed in the operating panel and projecting light to the bar code attached to a package of food to obtain data of the bar code, and a main controller for controlling a cooking operation for cooking the food according to the data of the bar code obtained by the bar code scanner. The apparatus simply and rapidly performs the cooking of food using the bar code, increases the bar code recognition distance thereof, and is easily and economically operated.

Disclosed herein is a cooking apparatus and cooking system which allows a user to change cooking information that is suitable to the preferences of the user and the amount of food when cooking food using automatic cooking information, and a cooking control method using the same. The cooking apparatus using automatic cooking information includes an automatic cooking information acquisition unit for acquiring the automatic cooking information; an automatic cooking information change unit for allowing a user to change the acquired automatic cooking information; and a control unit for controlling a series of cooking operations on the basis of the changed cooking information. The cooking system that uses automatic cooking information includes an external terminal for acquiring the automatic cooking information and transmitting the automatic cooking information to a cooking apparatus; an automatic cooking information change unit for allowing a user to change the transmitted automatic cooking information; and a control unit for controlling a series of cooking operations on the basis of the changed cooking information.

Cooking apparatus, cooking system and cooking control method using the same

A cooking apparatus, cooking system, and cooking control method using a bar code, in which automatic cooking of food is performed when the bar code attached to a package of the food is lost or damaged. The cooking apparatus for cooking food using cooking data includes a memory for storing identification data and cooking data of the food; an image capture device for obtaining an image of the food; and a controller for identifying the food by comparing the image of the food to the identification data of the food, stored in the memory, obtaining the cooking data of the identified food, and controlling the cooking apparatus so that the cooking of the food is performed based on the cooking data.

Cooking apparatus, cooking system, and cooking control method utilizing bar code

A cooking apparatus and method thereof capable of performing a cooking process based upon a cooking condition corresponding to the amount of food introduced into a cooking chamber when the cooking process is performed using a bar code printed on a food package to be cooked. The cooking method includes reading a bar code storing a reference weight of food to be cooked and a cooking condition based on the reference weight, sensing the weight of food introduced into a cooking chamber, calculating a number of servings of the food introduced into the cooking chamber by using the weight of the food introduced into the cooking chamber and the reference weight of the food, and changing the cooking condition to correspond to the number of servings of the food introduced into the cooking chamber, when the number of servings of the food introduced into the cooking chamber varies from a number of servings corresponding to the reference weight of the food, to thereby set a final cooking condition is corresponding to the changed cooking condition.
