In order to solve the technical problems that the display mode of the existing cooking appliance is inconvenient to use and cannot meet the increasingly rich requirements of menu contents of the cooking appliance, the invention provides the cooking appliance capable of cooking according to menu data.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows:
an electric cooking appliance capable of cooking according to recipe data, comprising:
a cooking execution module for cooking food,
a communication interface module for data communication with a mobile personal digital terminal including the outside, and
the control processing module is connected with the cooking execution module and the communication interface module;
wherein,
the control processing module sends the cooking information of the cooking appliance to the mobile personal digital terminal through the communication interface module, so that the mobile personal digital terminal outputs the literal description information, the graphic schematic information and/or the sound prompt information corresponding to the cooking information.
By adopting the technical scheme of the invention, the mobile personal digital terminal with strong processing function and network connection capability and the cooking appliance can form a cooking appliance system, so that the cooking appliance can continuously enrich the content, continuously enhance the function and simultaneously can not put forward too high requirements on the display device of the cooking appliance, and the restriction of the cooking appliance on the display device of the cooking appliance in the aspects of structure and cost is avoided; even a display device of the cooker can be completely omitted, so that the cost of the cooker is saved, and the process of the cooker is simplified; the high-quality display device owned by the mobile personal digital terminal can be used for displaying cooking related data with rich content, so that the use convenience degree is improved, and the user experience is enhanced; the mobile personal digital terminal can also utilize a larger-capacity storage device of the mobile personal digital terminal and the characteristic that the storage capacity of the mobile personal digital terminal is easy to expand, a storage device of the cooking appliance is replaced to store a large amount of menu data, and a large amount of menus can be stored in the server through an external network, so that the cooking appliance can cook various dishes under the condition that the burden of the storage device of the cooking appliance is not increased, and even the storage device of the cooking appliance can be simplified.
Furthermore, the recipe data includes preparation method data corresponding to a preparation method of the corresponding dish, and the preparation method data includes preparation step data corresponding to preparation steps included in the preparation method; the cooking execution module receives the control instruction of the control processing module, executes a series of manufacturing steps according to the manufacturing method data to cook food, and sends manufacturing step information corresponding to the current manufacturing step of the cooking execution module to the mobile personal digital terminal through the communication interface module so that the mobile personal digital terminal outputs word description information, graphic schematic information and/or sound prompt information corresponding to the corresponding manufacturing step in a highlighting manner.
Therefore, the cooking execution process is automatically and synchronously displayed in real time in the mobile personal digital terminal, so that a user can visually know the cooking state, and the man-machine friendliness of the cooking appliance is greatly enhanced.
Furthermore, each piece of manufacturing step data comprises a start symbol corresponding to a manufacturing step and time-consuming duration information corresponding to the manufacturing step; the timing module is connected with the control processing module; wherein,
