Disclosed herein are a sleep management method includes obtaining sleep data of a user, obtaining a sleep state of the user on the basis of the sleep data, and controlling at least one home appliance on the basis of the sleep state of the user, and the sleep data includes signals corresponding to a heart rate, respiration rate, and movement of the user detected by a piezoelectric sensor.

User terminal and sleep management method

An induction heating cooking device includes a cooking table having an auxiliary slit; an induction coil for generating a magnetic field so as to inductively heat a cooking container placed on the cooking table; multiple light sources disposed at the outside of the induction coil; and a main slit through which light emitted from the light sources passes. The induction heating cooking device forms a virtual flame image on the cooking container, thereby enabling the heating state of the induction heating cooking device to be intuitively checked.

Induction heating cooking device

A cooking apparatus includes a body, an inner case disposed inside the body in a cooking compartment where food is being cooked, a detection hole formed at a wall of one side of the inner case, so that an infrared ray generated at the cooking compartment is released to the outside of the cooking compartment, and an infrared ray detecting apparatus including a reflecting mirror, which has a plurality of reflection surfaces and configured to change a path of an incident infrared ray, and an infrared ray sensor configured to receive the infrared ray having the path thereof changed to detect an intensity of the infrared ray, thereby reducing the size of a detection hole configured to pass the infrared ray that is generated inside the cooking compartment, so that the adverse effect caused by the leakage of a microwave is minimized.

A heating cooker including an infrared ray detection device is disclosed. The heating cooker includes a body, an inner case disposed within the body, and provided therein with a cooking chamber to cook food, a detection hole formed at one side wall of the inner case, to allow an infrared ray generated in the cooking chamber to exit outwardly from the cooking chamber, a path change unit disposed in the vicinity of the detection hole, to change a path of the infrared ray passing through the detection hole, and an infrared sensor disposed to be spaced apart from the path change unit, to receive the infrared ray, the path of which has been changed. The path change unit is rotatable to enable the infrared sensor to receive infrared rays having different paths while being generated in different regions in the cooking chamber.
