The storage includes a memory, and the cooking controller includes a processor.

Cooking apparatus, cooking method, non-transitory recording medium on which cooking control program is recorded, and cooking-information providing method

A heating power control system includes a storage that stores cooking information including a cooking process being executed using a cooking appliance, a receiver that receives detection information indicating an absence or a presence of a user of the cooking appliance, and a controller that determines whether or not the user is absent for a predetermined period of time based on the detection information, determines, based on the cooking information, whether or not the cooking process is a heating process when the user is determined to be absent for the predetermined period of time, determines, based on the cooking information, a control method of controlling heating power of the cooking appliance when the cooking process is determined to be a heating process, and controls the heating power of the cooking appliance by the control method.

Heating power control system and heating power control method

A method includes causing a processor to execute determining a first operation from among a plurality of operations to be performed in sequence in cooking, and displaying a guide image on a display, the guide image including operation information that indicates a content of the first operation and ingredient information that indicates a name of an ingredient prepared for the cooking, where in the displaying of the guide image, when an ingredient on which a process has been performed in a second operation different from the first operation is used in the first operation, the name of the ingredient included in the ingredient information is replaced with ingredient process information indicating that the process has been performed on the ingredient.

Cooking support display system

A information processor of a terminal apparatus reads from a memory identification information of a food handling apparatus and a table, identifies a function associated with the identification information of the food handling apparatus received by a information receiver in accordance with the table, and starts up the function.

Terminal apparatus and control method for assistive cooking

A diagnosis method includes giving an instruction to present at least two sound collection positions of an abnormal sound of an electric apparatus to an outside; comparing a current position of the diagnosis device and one sound collection position of the at least two sound collection positions; obtaining sound data indicative of an abnormal sound of the electric apparatus collected by a microphone, based on a comparison result and storing the sound data in a sound data storage portion so as be correlated with log data and the one sound collection position; and diagnosing an abnormal sound of the electric apparatus by using at least two items of sound data and at least two sound collection positions, based on a determination result whether sound collection is completed and a determination result whether diagnosis of an abnormal sound is possible.

Diagnosis method, diagnosis device, and computer-readable recording medium which records diagnosis program

A method includes: causing a processor to determine a first step from among a plurality of steps that should be executed in order in cooking; and causing the processor to display, on a display, a guide image including a first indicative contents of the determined first step and a second indicative contents of a second step that is a step that should be executed next to the first step.

Method, recording medium, and apparatus for controlling image displayed on display

An operation mode selection image represents a first selection range of values of power consumption setting that are selectable in a first mode at the time of purchase of an air conditioner, a second selection range values of power consumption setting that are selectable in the first mode at a current time, a third selection range values of power consumption setting that are selectable in a second mode at the time of purchase of the air conditioner, and a fourth selection range values of power consumption setting that are selectable in the second mode at the current time. The relationship between the sizes of the first and second selection ranges and the relationship between the sizes of the third and fourth selection ranges represent a degree of decrease in the performance of the air conditioner over the period from the time of purchase to the current time.

Control method for air conditioner, terminal device, and operation control system

A heating power control device includes a storage in which first information is stored, the first information being on a cooking process being executed using a cooking appliance, a receiver that receives second information indicating an absence of a user of the cooking appliance or a presence of the user, and a controller that determines whether or not the user is absent for a predetermined period of time based on the second information, determines, based on the first information, whether or not the cooking process is a heating process when the user is determined to be absent for the predetermined period of time, determines, based on the first information, a control method of controlling heating power of the cooking appliance when the cooking process is determined to be a heating process, and controls the heating power of the cooking appliance by the control method.

Heating power control device, heating power control method, and recording medium

A cooking apparatus includes a communicator that communicates with a terminal, a link-state manager that manages link-state information indicating whether or not a link to the terminal is active, a heater that performs a heating operation on a cooking tool, a receiver that receives a user operation, and a controller that controls the communicator or the heater which is a control target, on the basis of the user operation. In the case where the link is active, when the user operation is performed on the receiver, the controller causes the communicator to transmit instruction information to the terminal. The instruction information indicates an instruction to switch an image being displayed on the information display apparatus from a first image to a second image.

Cooking apparatus, information display apparatus, control method, cooking tool, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium
