In variants, a method for individual heating element control can include: identifying food within a cook cavity of the cooking appliance, determining a set of cooking instructions associated with the food, the cooking instructions including a different model for each heating element subset, dynamically determining control instructions for each heating element subset based on the respective model, and controlling each heating element subset based on the respective control instructions.

System and method for individual heating element control

A method for foodstuff identification can include: detecting a trigger event; sampling a measurement set; optionally determining candidate measurements for subsequent analysis based on the measurement set; optionally determining a set of food parameter values from the measurements; optionally selecting a food parameter value for use; determining a cooking instruction based on the food parameter value; automatically operating the appliance based on the cooking instructions; optionally determining a foodstuff trajectory relative to the cook cavity; optionally training one or more modules; and/or any other suitable elements.

Method and system for foodstuff identification

In variants, an automatically-identifiable temperature probe can include: a probe body, one or more sensors, a connector, and/or any other suitable components. In variants, the method for temperature determination can include: determining a set of electrical signals, determining a temperature probe type based on the set of electrical signals, determining a sensor resolution model based on the temperature probe type, and determining a set of final temperature estimates based on the set of electrical signals and the sensor resolution model.

System and method for temperature determination

While an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface is in a locked, passcode-protected state, the device displays a lock screen user interface on the display. The lock screen user interface includes a plurality of restricted application launch icons, each restricted application launch icon corresponding to an application. The device also detects user input to activate a respective restricted application launch icon; and, in response to detecting the user input to activate the respective restricted application launch icon, starts a restricted session for a respective application that corresponds to the respective restricted application launch icon, wherein the respective application is configured to generate one or more content items while in the restricted session, and maintains the device in the locked, passcode-protected state for applications in the device other than the respective application.

Device, method, and graphical user interface for accessing an application in a locked device

A method including: during a colloid cooking period, cooking food using a gaseous colloid and sampling a cavity measurement. The method can optionally include transmitting the sampled measurements to a remote computing system; automatically cooking food according to adjusted colloid cooking parameters determined based on the measurement; and/or other processes.

Appliance with gaseous colloid management system and method of use

The connected oven includes a cooking cavity defined by a back, a door opposing the bottom, a top adjacent the back and door, a bottom opposing the top, and opposing sidewalls adjacent the remainder of the walls, a user interface unit configured to receive instructions from the user, a sensor, and a thermal management system for minimizing or preventing thermal damage to heat-sensitive components arranged on the oven.

Thermal management system and method for a connected oven

A method for targeted heating element control can include: sampling measurements, determining one or more occupied regions based on the measurements, determining one or more food types, controlling appliance operation based on the occupied regions and food types, optionally providing real-time feedback to the user for food placement within the cavity, optionally sampling training measurements, optionally determining a cavity occupancy region classifier, and/or any other suitable elements.

System and method for targeted heating element control

The system is preferably used with a cooking appliance with a heating cavity and can include: a vessel and a temperature probe. The system can optionally include: a lid, a tray, and/or a circulator. However, the system can include any other suitable components. The system functions to monitor and/or control the temperature of a volume of working fluid in a cooking appliance with a heated cavity.

Cooking appliance with temperature probe accessory

In variants, the method can include: sampling cavity measurements of the cook cavity; determining an image representation using the cavity measurements; determining a food class based on the image representation; optionally comparing the image representation to prior image representations; optionally determining a new food class based on the image representation; optionally updating a food identification module with the new food class; and optionally determining a cook program associated with the new food class.

Method and system for automatic cook program determination

The method for dirty camera detection including: detecting a first predetermined state change event; sampling a set of cavity measurements; optionally determining a set of features of the set of cavity measurements; determining a class label based on the cavity measurements; optionally verifying the classification; and facilitating use of the appliance based on the classification.
