Thereby, in the heating cooker 100, the heating of the food 301 is performed for the heating time included in the heating control information by the heating amount included in the heating control information.

When it is determined in step S503 that the heating control information is the heating control information of the setting label 401, or the heating control information acquired in step S502 is not the correct heating control information of the food 301 to be heated. It is assumed that the case is determined to be (No in S503). In this case, first, the table for heating information conversion stored in the information storage unit 206 confirms whether or not the recognized heating control information is associated with the management information, and the associated management information is If there is, the management information is acquired (S504).

When it is determined in step S505 that the heating control information of the setting label 401 is the corresponding management information present in the table (Yes in S505), the management information processing unit 207 according to the control instruction of the control unit 204. Performs setting change processing based on the management information associated with the heating control information by the information storage unit 206.

Specifically, from the display content of the heating information display unit 102 (in this case, the information related to the management information is displayed), the user can use the management information of the setting label 401 for the heating control information. After confirming whether there is any, the operation unit 202 executes the pressing operation such as the operation determination button based on the confirmation result. Thus, the target setting change process is executed (S507).

Thus, in the heating cooker 100, the setting change process is performed based on the management information associated with the heating control information.

In addition, when it is determined that the heating control information is not the correct heating control information of the food 301 to be heated, and when the setting of the corresponding setting label 401 is not found (No in S505), the operation unit At 202, heating setting (for example, setting of heating amount and heating time) is performed manually (S506).

When the heating setting is performed manually (S506), the user confirms whether the heating control information of the food 301 to be heated is correct, and then the operation unit 202 determines based on the confirmation result, Press the heating start button. Thereby, cooking is started (S507).

In the present embodiment, the start of the heating and cooking is after the heating start button or the operation determination button is pressed in step S507, but from the viewpoint of reducing the burden of the user's operation, the heating control information is If correct or it can be determined that the management information is correct (Yes in S503 and Yes in S505), the heating cooker 100 may be configured to automatically start the heating or setting process.

Next, a process in which the information storage unit 206 associates and stores the heating control information and the management information analyzed by the recognition processing unit 205 will be described.

Therefore, according to the prior art, in most maintenance operations, it is necessary to make settings by pressing the number button 602, the start button 603, etc. many times, and the operation load is very large and troublesome.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a table (heating information conversion table) related to the association between the heating control information of the object to be heated and the setting processing content in the heating cooker 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 9, the association table 801 between the heating control information of the object to be heated and the setting processing content is ID1 (in this embodiment, the heating wattage (in the present embodiment) for identifying the heating amount of the heating control character of the object to be heated. W) and the set processing contents in the heating and cooking storage 104.

In FIG. 9, for example, when the identification ID 1 is “0000”, the setting changeability check is performed, and when the identification ID 1 is “1111”, the setting process of the cooking parameter is performed. In addition to the setting process, when the identification ID 1 is “1222”, an instruction from the control unit 1004 such as “additional heating setting”, and when the identification ID 1 is “1333”, “heating setting for unrecognizable food”. The heating control process is also performed.

In addition to the setting process, it is also possible to carry out checks on hardware such as version information acquisition, information acquisition processing such as acquisition of the number of times of camera shooting, camera check, and illumination check.

In addition, as the identification ID1, allocation of the setting process is performed using a numerical value (a numerical value that can be determined not to be a value used as a normal heating amount such as 500 W and 1500 W) which is not used for the normal heating control. . Further, it is more desirable that each number be selected by the recognition processing unit 205 so as not to cause erroneous recognition of the number. In the information storage unit 206, the identification ID 1 and the setting processing content are stored in association with each other.

Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 5, since "1111" is recognized as "identification ID 1", setting processing of "cooking parameter setting" is performed. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 6, since “identification ID 1” is recognized as “0000” as the first heating control information, it is recognized that “setting change” is possible, and as the second heating control information Since “identification ID 1” is recognized as “1111”, setting processing of “cooking parameter setting” is performed.

In the case, the setting process of the cooking menu ID "0102" is performed.

In addition, it is desirable to assign the setting process to the identification ID 2 and the identification ID 3 using numerical values (for example, numbers larger than 60) which are not used for normal heating control. In addition, it is more desirable to select each number so as not to cause the recognition processing unit 205 to erroneously recognize the number. In the information storage unit 206, the identification ID1, the identification ID2, and the identification ID3 are associated with the setting processing content, and are stored.

Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 5, “1” is recognized as “identification ID 2” and “1” is recognized as “identification ID 3”, so that the setting process of the cooking menu ID “0101” is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 6, since “identification ID 1” is recognized as “0000” as the first heating control information, it is first recognized that “setting change is possible” (see FIG. 9). Since the "cooking parameter setting" with "identification ID 1" of "1111", "1" of "identification ID 2" and "1" of "identification ID 3" are recognized as the second heating control information, the cooking menu ID The setting process of "0101" is performed.

FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of a table regarding association of cooking menu management information of the object to be heated with each button of the operation panel 600 in the cooking parameter setting of the heating cooker 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is there.

In FIG. 11, for example, when the cooking menu ID is "0101", the button "1" is "10 seconds", the button "2" is "20 seconds", the button "9" is "5 minutes", The cooking heat time of "10 minutes" is allocated to button "0", respectively. The button assignment may be assigned not only to the "number" button but also to the "memory" button, the "output switching" button, etc., as in the operation panel 600 of FIG.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 5, “1” is recognized as “identification ID 2” and “1” is recognized as “identification ID 3”, so the setting process written in the cooking menu ID “0101” is performed. Ru. In the example shown in FIG. 6, since “identification ID 1” is recognized as “0000” as the first heating control information, first, it is recognized that “setting change is possible”, and then the second heating is performed. As the control information, “cooking parameter setting” with “Identification ID 1” of “1111”, “Identification ID 2” with “1” and “Identification ID 3” with “1” are recognized, so write in cooking menu ID “0101” The setting process is performed.

Specifically, these figures show examples of images of setting labels 1101 and 1102 for performing a plurality of setting change processes in the heating and cooking cabinet 104, and an example of character recognition in the image recognition process FIG.

In FIG. 13, using the display format of the heating control information (heating amount, heating time), the setting label 1101 uses a number corresponding to the heating amount, and a number corresponding to the heating time corresponding to the heating amount. In the part, information on management information is described.

Specifically, two types of heating control information are described in the setting label 1101. In the first heating control information, the heating amount is described as “1111 W”, the heating time is “one minute and one second”, the location corresponding to the number of the heating amount is “1111”, and FIG. From the information conversion table, in the identification ID 1 “1111”, the processing content related to “cooking parameter setting” is described. In addition, the heating time is described as "one minute and one second", and the information "1" of the identification ID 2 is in the number of the "seconds" of the heating time in the place corresponding to the numeral of the "minute" of the heating time. The information “1” of the identification ID 3 is described in the corresponding part, and the setting contents regarding the setting of the cooking menu ID “0101” are described by the information conversion table of FIG.

In the second heating control information, the heating amount is described as “2222 W”, the heating time is “two minutes and one second”, the location corresponding to the number of the heating amount is “2222”, and the identification ID 1 “2222” describes the processing content regarding “acquisition of the number of times of camera photographing”. Further, similarly to the setting label 401, the information “2” of the identification ID 2 is “seconds” of the heating time at “2 minutes and one second” of the heating time as in the setting label 401. The information “1” of the identification ID 3 is described in the part corresponding to the numeral “1”.

Further, in FIG. 14, information related to management information is described in the same manner as in FIG. 13. Specifically, four types of heating control information are described in the setting label 1102.

The same heating amount "5111 W" is described in each of the first heating control information to the fourth heating control information, the location corresponding to the number of the heating amount is "5111", and the identification ID 1 "5111" is The contents of processing relating to "camera check" are described from the information conversion table of FIG. In the description of the first heating control information to the fourth heating control information, the heating time is described as "one minute and one second", "one minute and two seconds", "two minutes and one second", and "two minutes and two seconds" There is.

In the description of the setting labels 1101 and 1102, a format (eg, “for cooking parameter setting” or the like) which allows the user to recognize which setting content is to be changed is displayed on the label Format may be described, or may be described as a heating amount and a barcode corresponding to a heating time according to the heating amount.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing image recognition processing in the second embodiment of the present disclosure.

In FIG. 15, when the food 301 or the setting label 1101 is put into the cooking chamber 104, the imaging unit 1003 captures an image of the cooking chamber 104 (S1201).

The recognition processing unit 1005 detects and acquires the heating control information of the food 301 to be heated from the image photographed by the photographing unit 1003 (S1202).

Furthermore, the recognition processing unit 205 determines whether there is a plurality of detected heating control information (heating amount, heating time, etc.) (S1203). If a plurality of detected heating control information does not exist (No in S1203), it is similar to the flow (X) in FIG. 7 in which only one heating control information exists, so the description of the processing flow is omitted here. Do.

When there are a plurality of detected heating control information (Yes in S1203), the setting change determination unit 1008 determines the processing order from the setting change determination table stored in the information storage unit 1006. The setting change determination unit 1008 determines in what order the setting change and the heating control are performed based on the priority of the management information associated with each of the plurality of heating control information recognized by the recognition processing unit 1005, Or determine whether to execute or not. Further, based on the display contents of the operation display panel 601 or the like in FIG. 8, confirmation of the execution order and confirmation of the process execution availability are performed (S1204).

If there is no problem in the execution order (Yes in S1205), it is determined whether the heating control information is the correct heating control information of the food 1403 to be heated (S1206).

If the heating control information of the food 1403 to be subjected to the image recognition processing is correct heating information (Yes in S1206), the control unit 1004 controls the heating control based on the heating control information analyzed by the recognition processing unit 1005. I do. At this time, the control unit 1004 displays at least one of the heating control information and the information related to the corresponding management information on the heating information display unit 102.

After the user confirms whether the heating control information is the correct heating control information of the food 1403 to be heated from the display content of the heating information display unit 102, the user confirms it by the operation unit 1002. By performing the pressing operation of the heating start button or the like based on the result, the heating of the target food 1403 is performed (S1208).

Thus, in the heating cooker 100, the food 1403 is heated and cooked with the heating amount included in the heating control information for the heating time included in the heating control information.

If it is determined in step S1206 that the heating control information of the setting label 1101 is not the correct heating control information of the food 1403 to be heated (No in S1206), the information is stored in the information storage unit 1006 first. Based on the heating information conversion table, it is checked whether the recognized heating control information is associated with the management information, and if there is the associated management information, the management information is acquired (S1207) .

In step S1207, according to the control instruction of the control unit 1004, the management information processing unit 1007 performs setting change processing in the information storage unit 1006 based on the management information associated with the heating control information.

At this time, the control unit 1004 causes the heating information display unit 102 to display the heating control information and the information related to the corresponding management information.

After the user confirms whether the heating control information is the management information of the setting label 1101 from the display content of the heating information display unit 102, the user uses the operation unit 1002 based on the confirmation result, By performing the pressing operation of the operation determination button or the like, the target setting change processing is executed (S1208).

Thereby, in the heating cooker 200, the setting change processing is performed based on the management information associated with the heating control information.

In the present embodiment, the start of heating and cooking is after the start of heating or the operation determination button is pressed in step S1208, but from the viewpoint of reducing the burden of the user's operation, the heating information or the operation management If it is determined that the information is correct (Yes in S1206 and S1207), the heating cooker 200 may be configured to automatically start the heating or setting process.

After step S1208, it is determined in step S1209 whether or not there is a remaining process. If there is a remaining process (S1209, Yes), the process proceeds to step S1206. If there is no remaining process (S1209, No), the process ends.

FIG. 16 is a table (setting change) relating heating control information of objects to be heated, camera management information, and their priorities in the camera check of the heating cooker according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure Determination table).

As shown in FIG. 16, the association table 1301 between the heating control information of the object to be heated and the cooking menu management information in the camera check of the heating cooker identifies the heating amount of the heating control character of the object to be heated. In the embodiment, the heating wattage (W) corresponds, the ID 2 identifying the heating time (corresponding to the heating time (minute) in the present embodiment), ID 3 (heating time (seconds in the present embodiment) And the setting processing contents in the heating and cooking storage 104.

In FIG. 16, for example, when the identification ID 2 is “1” and the identification ID 3 is “1”, setting processing of the camera sharpness function “ON” is performed, and the identification ID 2 is “1” and the identification ID 3 is “2”. In the case of, the setting processing of the camera's sharpness function “OFF” is performed. When the identification ID 2 is “2” and the identification ID 3 is “1”, the setting process of the exposure time “1/200 sec” of the camera is performed, and the identification ID 2 is “2” and the identification ID 3 is “2”. In the case, the setting process of the exposure time "1/100 second" of the camera is performed.

In addition, it is desirable that assignment of setting processing be performed using identification values (such as numbers larger than 60) not used for normal heating control for identification ID2 and identification ID3. In addition, it is more desirable that each number be selected so that the recognition processing unit 1005 does not cause erroneous recognition of the number. In the information storage unit 1006, the identification ID1, the identification ID2, and the identification ID3 are stored in association with the setting processing content.

Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 14, four heating control characters are described, and the values of “identification ID 2 and identification ID 3” are “1, 1”, “1, 2” and “2” sequentially from the top. , 1 "and" 2, 2 "are recognized. Therefore, according to the association table 1301, the setting contents are “sharpness: ON”, “sharpness: OFF”, “exposure time: 1/200 sec”, and “exposure time: 1/100 sec”. Furthermore, since each priority is “1”, “2”, “100”, “101” in order from the top, the processing order is also “sharpness: ON”, “sharpness: OFF”, “exposure” The setting process is performed in the order of time: 1/200 second and exposure time: 1/100 second.

In this example, only setting processing is set in order of priority, but after setting processing, control processing such as image shooting by the imaging unit 1003 may be performed together, or in combination with heating control. It may be implemented. Also, a plurality of setting processes may be simultaneously processed according to the control process of the control unit 1004, or the next setting process may not be executed until the first setting process is finished.

Third Embodiment
The microwave oven which is an example of the heating cooker in 3rd Embodiment of this indication is demonstrated. In the third embodiment of the present disclosure, description of the same structure, functional configuration, and control method as those of the second embodiment will be omitted.

FIGS. 17-19 is a figure which shows an example of the labels 1401 and 1402 for a setting in the image recognition process in the heating cooker in 3rd Embodiment of this indication, respectively.

Specifically, these drawings show examples of images of setting labels 1401 and 1402 for performing preferential heating control processing in the heating and cooking storage 104, and barcode recognition in image recognition processing is performed. It is a figure which shows the example of and character recognition.

FIG. 17 corresponds to the number corresponding to the heating amount, and the heating time corresponding to the heating amount, using the display format of the heating control information (heating amount, heating time) for the label 1401 for setting the heat treatment. The information on management information is described in the part of the numbers.

Specifically, "1222" is described in the place of the number of the heating amount in the setting label 1401, and the identification ID 1 "1222" corresponds to "additional heating setting" according to the information conversion table of FIG. Do. In addition, "0 minutes 12 seconds" is described in the heating time, and the information "0" of the identification ID 2 is the number of the "second" of the heating time in the part corresponding to the number of the "minute" of the heating time. The information “12” of the identification ID 3 is described in the part corresponding to “1”. When the additional heating setting is performed, even if the heating control information is read in addition, only the read information may be preferentially performed.

Specifically, when the recognition processing unit 1005 recognizes “1222W 0 minutes 12 seconds”, the setting change determination unit 1008 uses the information conversion table and the priority stored in the information storage unit 1006. In this case, even if there is a plurality of heating control information other than the additional heating control, the processing of only the processing of the additional heating control information is prioritized. The management information processing unit 1007 causes the control unit 1004 to perform additional heating control based on the processing result of the setting change determination unit 1008.

Moreover, in FIG. 18, the information regarding heat processing management information is described by the same description method as FIG. Specifically, the setting label 1402 describes one type of heating control information surrounded by two special symbols “■”. In the heating control information excluding the special symbol “■”, the heating amount is described as “1900 W” and the heating time is “0 minutes 35 seconds”. Specific processing will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 19 shows an example in which the food label 1404 is originally attached to the food 1403. Further, a food label 1404 equivalent to the setting label 1402 described with the special symbol “■” described in FIG. 18 is attached on the food 1403. In this case, in the recognition processing unit 1005, two pieces of control information of the heating control information described in the food label 1404 and the heating control information described in the food label 1404 in which the special symbol “■” is described Read. In the setting change determination unit 1008, when the special symbol “■” is described, the heating control information described in the food label 1404 is not performed because the main heating control information is preferentially performed, and the special symbol “■” is not performed. It is determined that only the process of “1900 W 0 minutes 35 seconds” which is the heating control information described in “is performed. The control unit 1004 causes the heating unit 1001 to perform heating control of “1900 W 0 minutes 35 seconds” based on the determination result of the setting change determination unit 1008 in the management information processing unit 1007.

With such a configuration, based on management information on heating control, such as additional heating and short-time heating, registered in advance in association with the read heating control information, under heating control conditions suitable for the object to be heated, It is possible to cook food.

Note that the third embodiment described above can be implemented in combination with at least one of the first embodiment and the second embodiment.
