Patent number: 10360812Abstract: Control system, method, and computer program product for partitioning machine readable recipe programs to control one or more multi-function cooking apparatuses for processing one or more food products. The system may include recipe program interface configured to receive one or more separate recipe programs for preparing food products. A partitioning module is configured to identify, in accordance with predefined partitioning rules, subsets of recipe program instructions in the one or more recipe programs. A first subset includes recipe program instructions for executing food processing steps with compatible ingredient information at temperatures below a predefined temperature threshold and a second subset includes recipe program instructions for executing food processing steps with compatible ingredient information at temperatures equal to or above the predefined temperature threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Vorwerk & Co.

Patent number: 10159382Abstract: Systems and methods herein relate to arrangements involving a computer system and a kitchen appliance. In one illustrative implementation, such computer system may include a data processing device on which a computer-implemented process is run as a web application, the process being designed to set up a control program for the kitchen appliance, wherein the control program enables an automated preparation of a meal via preparation instruction(s) of the kitchen appliance. Further, in some implementations, the kitchen appliance may comprise a microprocessor, a heatable stirring vessel, and a stirring mechanism located in the stirring vessel, wherein the microprocessor is set up to control the stirring mechanism and/or the heater based on the control program generated.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Vorwerk & Co. Interholding GmbHInventors: Corinna Haase, Maria Jose Resende, Ramona Wehlig, Julius Ganns, Stefan Hilgers

Publication number: 20170258273Abstract: A method for automated processing of at least one food product according to at least one predetermined recipe parameter uses an electric kitchen appliance for producing a meal. The steps are as follows: detecting an actual parameter of the food product to be processed, comparing the actual parameter of the food product to be processed with a target parameter of the food product to be processed, and correcting the recipe parameter depending on the deviation of the actual parameter of the food product to be processed from the target parameter of the food product to be processed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2015Publication date: September 14, 2017Applicant: Vorwerk & Co.
