First Embodiment
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing an outline configuration of a heating system 1 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an example of a heating area designation unit 4 (marks 41a to 41d, 42a to 42d, 43a to 43d) attached to a container 3. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the heating device 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the heating system 1 includes a heating device 2 and a container 3 containing contents to be heated by the heating device 2. The container 3 is provided with heating area designation units 4 (marks 41a to 41d, 42a to 42d, 43a to 43d). The heating device 2 is, for example, a heating device for cooking such as an electronic oven or an oven, and has a heating chamber 6 in which the container 3 can be placed, and a door 5. The front panel of the heating device 2 is provided with an operation unit 26 for inputting a manual operation by the user, and a display unit 27 on which heating condition information 71 (output wattage, heating time, etc.) is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the heating area designation unit 4 (marks 41a to 41d, 42a to 42d, 43a to 43d) is a mark for specifying the heating area of the container 3, and printing, label sealing, etc. Is attached by pasting. The container 3 may have any shape and material, but adopts a shape and material that can be heated by the heating device 2. The position to which the mark (heating area designation unit 4) is attached is a position where the camera 23 provided in the heating chamber 6 can take an image when the container 3 is placed in the heating chamber 6 of the heating device 2. For example, when the camera 23 is provided on the ceiling of the heating chamber 6, it is desirable that the mark (heating area designation unit 4) be provided on the upper surface of the container 3. The position where the mark (heating area designation unit 4) is attached is not limited to the upper surface, and may be a side surface of the container 3 or the like (see FIG. 8).

  The heating area designation unit 4 is provided, for example, when heating only the container 3, heating a plurality of portions of the container 3 under different heating conditions, or providing the heating area and the non-heating area in the container 3. . For example, when the container 3 is divided into three regions, as the heating region designation unit 4, as shown in FIG. 2, marks ".quadrature.", ".DELTA.", And ".smallcircle." Ru. In this case, the container 3 includes an area A1 surrounded by a line connecting "□" marks 41a to 41d, an area A2 surrounded by a line connecting "Δ" marks 42a to 42d, and a "☆" mark It is divided into an area A3 surrounded by a line connecting 43a to 43d. That is, an area surrounded by lines connecting the same type of marks is recognized as one area. When only the container 3 is heated, that is, when there is only one heating area, the mark is arranged so as to surround the entire container 3.

  The number of heating regions is not limited to three, and may be another number. Further, the shape of the heating area is arbitrary, and may be a polygon such as a triangle or a pentagon besides the rectangle shown in FIG. When the shape of the heating area is circular or elliptical, the area may be indicated by a line (solid line, dotted line, double line, etc.) or the heating area may be surrounded by a mark.

  Further, it is desirable that the heating conditions (the output wattage of the heating device 2, the heating temperature, the heating time, etc.) be set according to the color or the shape of the mark of the heating area designation unit 4 (see FIG. 7). The heating conditions will be described later.

  The heating area designation unit 4 is printed on the container 3 or attached to the container 3 by a label seal or the like. Since the heating area can be easily specified by printing or pasting, the heating system 1 is highly practical.

  The heating area designation unit 4 (mark) and the heating condition information 71 may be embedded in the container by digital watermarking. As a result, although the heating area designation unit 4 (mark) and the heating condition information 71 are not usually visually recognized, they can be recognized by the heating area recognition unit 201. Therefore, the heating area and the heating conditions are specified without disturbing the design of the container. It becomes possible.

  Further, the ink used for printing of the heating area designation unit 4 may be a temperature indicating ink. Temperature-sensitive ink is an ink that changes color when it reaches a specific temperature, and is used to measure and monitor surface temperature. There is an irreversible temperature-sensitive ink that changes color when it reaches a specific temperature and retains its color even after cooling, and a reversible temperature-sensitive ink that returns to its original color again when the temperature changes below the specific temperature. The heating state can be visualized by using the thermometric ink. It is also possible to monitor the temperature change of the container 3 by the color change of the ink, stop the heating when the color changes, and use the same for heating control and temperature control.

The CPU calls a program stored in the storage unit 25 or the ROM to a work memory area on the RAM and executes it, and drives and controls each unit connected via a bus. The ROM permanently holds a boot program, a program such as a BIOS, data and the like. The RAM temporarily holds loaded programs and data, and includes a work area used by the control unit 20 to perform various processes. The control unit 20 functions as each functional unit (heating area recognition unit 201, heating condition information acquisition unit 202, and heating control unit 203) of the heating device 2 by executing the above program.

  The heating area recognition unit 201 reads the heating area designation unit 4 (marks) from the heating room image 61 (FIG. 5) photographed by the camera 23, and the positional information in the heating chamber 6 of each mark (heating area designation unit 4) By recognizing the heating chamber position information P1 to P12, the heating area of the container 3 is recognized. The heating area recognition unit 201 transmits the acquired information on the heating area (heating room position information P1 to P12) to the heating control unit 203.

  The heating condition information acquisition unit 202 acquires the heating condition information 71 of each heating area recognized by the heating area recognition unit 201. The heating condition information 71 relates to heating such as the output wattage (W) number (200 W, 500 W, 600 W, 1000 W, 1500 W, etc.) of the heating device 2, heating temperature (100 ° C., 60 ° C., non-heating etc.), or heating time It is control information.

  The heating condition information acquisition unit 202 reads the shape, color, and the like of the mark of the heating area designation unit 4 from the heating indoor image 61 captured by the camera 23 and sets the heating condition information linked to the shape and color of the mark. 71 is acquired from the storage unit 25. Also, if there is only one heating region, even if the heating condition is not specified, a default value given in advance such as "500 W (watt), 1 minute", etc. is acquired from the storage unit 25. You may

  Alternatively, the heating condition information acquisition unit 202 may read the information code 7 from the heating indoor image 61 captured by the camera 23 and acquire the heating condition information 71 recorded in the information code 7. An example using the information code will be described later.

  The heating control unit 203 performs heating control on each heating area under the heating conditions acquired by the heating condition information acquisition unit 202 with respect to the heating area acquired from the heating area recognition unit 201. The heating control unit 203 generates a control signal for controlling the heating operation for each heating area, and transmits the control signal to the heating unit 24.

  For example, when the heating condition “500 W (watt), 1 minute” for the heating area A1 is obtained, the output wattage for the heating area A1 in the heating unit 24 is set to “500 W”. Further, the heating control unit 203 acquires the placement state of the container 3 in the storage and the open / close state of the door 5 and controls the timing of starting heating and the timing of stopping heating. If the heating time is one minute, a timer (not shown) is set to "one minute" and heating is stopped one minute after the start of heating.

  The heating unit 24 performs heating / non-heating on the container 3 in accordance with the control signal from the heating control unit 203. In the case of the microwave oven, the heating unit 24 includes a microwave generating unit or the like for irradiating the inside of the heating chamber 6 with microwaves. The microwave generating unit may be configured using a semiconductor element in addition to one configured using a magnetron. In the heating system 1 of the present invention, in order to perform partial heating of the container 3, a microwave generation unit configured using a semiconductor element is used. The microwave generating unit configured using a semiconductor element can irradiate the container 3 with microwaves having high directivity as compared with the case of using a magnetron. About the heating apparatus which can control partial heating, it describes in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2016-110750 grade | etc. ,, for example. The heating device described in JP-A-2016-110750 makes it possible to irradiate the container 3 with highly directional microwaves by configuring the heating unit 24 using a microwave generation unit using a semiconductor element. It is a thing.

  In addition to the range heating, the heating unit 24 may be of various heating methods such as heater heating, convection heating, forced heating by a fan, and the like. These various heating methods may be used alone or in combination.

  The door sensor 21 is a sensor that detects the open / close state of the door 5. The door sensor 21 detects whether the door 5 is in the open state or in the closed state, and notifies the control unit 20.

  The interior lighting unit 22 is lighting in the heating chamber 6, and the control of the control unit 20 turns on / off the lighting switch. For example, when the door 5 is in an open state, when the camera 23 is performing a photographing operation, or while the heating unit 24 is performing a heating operation, illumination in the storage is turned on by the internal lighting unit 22 at a predetermined timing.

  The camera 23 is a camera for photographing the container 3 placed in the heating chamber 6, and is configured using an imaging element such as a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. . The camera 23 is provided, for example, at a position where the heating area designating unit 4 attached to the container 3 can be photographed when the container 3 is placed in the heating chamber 6, such as a ceiling surface in the chamber or a side surface in the chamber. The camera 23 starts / stops the photographing operation according to the control signal from the control unit 20. The camera 23 outputs the photographed image (the heating indoor image 61) to the heating area recognition unit 201.

  The storage unit 25 stores a program executed by the control unit 20, data necessary for program execution, and the like. These program codes are read by the control unit 20 as necessary, transferred to the RAM, read by the CPU, and executed. The storage unit 25 also stores heating condition information 71 according to the color and shape of the heating area designation unit 4.

The operation unit 26 is, for example, an operation input device such as a touch panel, various switch buttons, a dial, etc., and outputs input data to the control unit 20.
The display unit 27 is formed of, for example, a display screen such as a liquid crystal panel, and displays the display information input by the control unit 20 on the display screen.

The network 10 includes a LAN (Local Area Network), a Wide Area Network (WAN) communicatively connected in a wider area, or a public communication line such as the Internet, a base station, or the like. The network 10 may be wired or wireless. The heating device 2 accesses the database 11 via the network 10, and can transmit and receive various programs and data (heating condition information 71 etc.).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the flow of the heating control process performed by the heating device 2 in the heating system 1 will be described. The control unit 20 of the heating device 2 reads a program and data related to the process shown in FIG. 4 from the storage unit 25 and executes the process based on the program and data.

  The control unit 20 of the heating device 2 monitors whether the container 3 is placed in the heating chamber 6 (step S101). For example, by using the camera 23, the mounting state of the container 3 in the heating chamber 6 can be monitored. When the container 3 is not placed in the heating chamber 6 (step S101; No), the process waits for the container 3 to be placed. When the container 3 is placed in the heating chamber 6 (step S101; Yes), next, the control unit 20 confirms the open / close state of the door 5. If the door 5 is in the open state (step S102; No), it waits for the door 5 to be closed, and when the door 5 is in the closed state (step S102; Yes), the camera 23 starts photographing the heating room image 61 (Step S103).

  In step S103, it is desirable that the control unit 20 turn on the interior lighting unit 22 so that the camera 23 can capture an image. When a shooting error occurs (step S104; Yes), the control unit 20 receives a manual operation (step S105). In the manual operation, the input of the heating conditions (output wattage, heating time) from the operation unit 26 by the user is received.

  When there is no imaging error (Step S104; No) and imaging of the container 3 is completed, the heating area recognition unit 201 recognizes the heating area based on the heating indoor image 61 obtained by imaging (Step S106).

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the heating indoor image 61 obtained by the photographing at step S104. In this example, a camera 23 is provided on the ceiling of the heating chamber 6. The heating room image 61 is photographed in a state where the container 3 is placed in the heating room 6. When the heating area recognition unit 201 acquires the heating indoor image 61 as shown in FIG. 5, the heating area recognition unit 201 recognizes the heating area designation unit 4 (marks 41a to 41d, 42a to 42d, 43a to 43d) attached to the contents 3 Do.

  FIG. 6 is a view showing the heating areas A1, A2 and A3 recognized from the heating room image 61 of FIG. In FIG. 6, the x direction is the lateral direction of the mounting surface in the heating chamber 6, and the y direction is the vertical direction of the mounting surface in the heating chamber 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the coordinate position in the heating chamber 6 of each mark 41a-41d, 42a-42d, 43a-43d is recognized. Specifically, the mark 41a is recognized as a point P1, the mark 41b is recognized as a point P2, the mark 41c is recognized as a point P3, and the mark 41d is recognized as a point P4. Since these marks 41a to 41d have the same shape, the area surrounded by the points P1, P2, P3 and P4 is recognized as one area A1. Similarly, the mark 42a is recognized as a point P5, the mark 42b is recognized as a point P6, the mark 42c is recognized as a point P7, and the mark 42d is recognized as a point P8. Since these marks 42a to 42d have the same shape, the area surrounded by the points P5, P6, P7, and P8 is recognized as one area A2. The mark 43a is recognized as a point P9, the mark 43b is recognized as a point P10, the mark 43c is recognized as a point P11, and the mark 43d is recognized as a point P12. Since these marks 43a to 43d have the same shape, the area surrounded by the points P9, P10, P11, and P12 is recognized as one area A3.

  The heating condition information acquisition unit 202 acquires the heating condition information 71 based on the heating indoor image 61 obtained by shooting (step S107). If the heating area recognized in step S106 is one area, the heating condition information acquiring unit 202 acquires from the storage unit 25 the heating condition information 71 associated with the shape or the color of the mark forming the heating area. Do. It is assumed that the output wattage which is the heating condition, the heating time, and the like are stored in advance in the storage unit 25 in association with the color and shape of the mark.

  In addition, if the heating area recognized in step S106 is a plurality of areas, the heating condition information acquiring unit 202 respectively adds the heating condition information 71 associated with the shape or color of the mark forming each heating area. It is acquired from the storage unit 25. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the “□” mark is 100 ° C., the “Δ” mark is 60 ° C., and the “*” mark is non-heated (unheated). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7B, the color is associated with the set temperature such as 100 ° C. for red, 60 ° C. for orange, and no heating for blue. May be predefined and stored in the storage unit 25. The combination of the shape or color of the mark with the temperature or the output wattage is optional. For example, as shown in FIG. 7C, assuming that the shape of the mark is an arrow, and the heating condition according to the color of the mark is defined and stored in the storage unit 25, the end point of the heating region is an arrow It can be specified as the tip. Further, as shown in FIG. 7D, a mark obtained by combining a plurality of symbols may be used. By combining the symbols, it is possible to set a heating condition with a larger amount of information.

  If it is an example of FIG. 2, FIG. 5, since heating area | region A1 is enclosed by "(square)" mark, "100 degreeC" will be set. Further, since the heating area A2 is surrounded by the “Δ” mark, “60 ° C.” is set. Further, since the heating area A3 is surrounded by the mark "☆", "non-heating" is set.

  The heating control unit 203 generates a control signal for controlling the heating operation in the heating unit 24 for each of the recognized heating areas A1 to A3 and transmits the control signal to the heating unit 24.
