Patent number: 11917742Abstract: In a method for a cooktop, in particular for producing and/or operating the cooktop, which has at least one variable cooking surface, the cooking surface is partitioned in an operating mode along a partitioning direction into a plurality of heating zones to which at least one heating parameter is assigned in each case in a location-dependent manner in order to heat a cooking utensil that is deposited on the heating zone. In order to ensure flexible production and/or flexible operation of the cooktop, during partitioning of the cooking surface into the heating zones in at least one peripheral region of the cooking surface, at least one cooking utensil characteristic is taken into account.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Alberto Ballester Herrero, Eduardo Imaz Martinez, Antonio Muñoz Fumanal, Esther Ondiviela Serrano, Daniel Palacios Tomas, Jorge Pascual Aza, David Valeau Martin
