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

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.

Method and system for sensor maintenance

A system and method for providing a watchdog timer to enable collection of crash data is provided. Upon execution of certain operations, a source thread of an application initiates a watchdog thread that periodically sample state of data relating to the application. Should the operation not complete within a watchdog timeout period, the watchdog thread invokes a crash function to collect additional state data. At least a portion of the state data is stored for later analysis and debugging.

A media device including a broadcast receiver that receives broadcast media from a plurality of broadcast sources where the broadcast receiver is tunable to a first broadcast source. The media device also includes a data store that stores a list of contact identifiers where each contact identifier is associated with a broadcast source. The media device includes a user interface that: i) provides a prompt to a user to enable the user to initiate contact with the first broadcast source, and ii) receives a user indication to initiate contact with the first broadcast source. The media device further includes a transceiver that initiates the contact with the first broadcast source by sending a communications session request via a communications network to the first broadcast source that includes a contact identifier associated with the first broadcast source.

Systems, methods, and devices for associating a contact identifier with a broadcast source

Translating a phrase from one language into another using an order-based set of declarative rules is disclosed. Information to be communicated as sensory perceptible output is received. An ordered set of rules is applied to generate a representation that expresses the information in a manner that embodies applicable communication system rules of a target symbolic communication system in which the information is to be communicated.

Systems and methods for generating a quick start workout template and calibrating an electronic device using the workout template are provided. The electronic device may create and store a workout template to be used in conjunction with a workout. The workout template may be selected in a quick start fashion to restart the same workout. The workout template may be defined at least in part by a selection of any suitable workout goal and/or any suitable associated media. If the media associated with the workout goal is changed or is removed, a new workout template may be created. The electronic device may be calibrated or recalibrated using the workout template. If the electronic device is calibrated or re-calibrated with respect to a particular sensor, the electronic device may use the calibration in conjunction with any suitable workout template and the sensor to more accurately monitor the user's workout.

The media device further includes a transceiver that initiates the contact with the first broadcast source by sending a communications session request via a communications network to the first broadcast source that includes a contact identifier associated with the first broadcast source.

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for collaboratively managing a playlist of media items including a communications interface. The communications interface may be configured to receive a user feedback from each of a plurality of portable media devices and may include a processor configured to generate an updated playlist based on the user feedback. The user feedback may be related to a queued media item in a playlist.
