  • Patent number: 11805939
    Abstract: A method for controlling a cooking device includes the following steps: recording an image of food; implementing a recognition of the recorded image of the food to determine the likelihood that the food corresponds to known foods. If a probability value exceeds a default threshold value, a cooking program associated with the known food is selected and specified to the cooking device. The probability value for the recorded image and the associated food is increased in response to a user subsequently starting the selected cooking program, and reduced in response to the user discarding the selected cooking program. A cooking device includes a primary control unit for controlling the cooking functions; a network interface with a second control unit, and a camera for recording images of the cooking space. The second control unit processes recorded images independently of the primary control unit and transmits them over the network interface.

  • Publication number: 20180343711
    Abstract: A device for generating and transmitting high-frequency (HF) waves which are generated by an HF generating unit and conducted through a hollow waveguide into a treatment chamber of an appliance to apply microwave energy to goods to be treated therein includes: a circuit board; and the hollow waveguide. The hollow waveguide includes a housing made of metal and at least two housing parts. The housing of the hollow waveguide is connected to the circuit board. The circuit board has mounted thereon a circuit arrangement for generating HF waves and that includes a power transistor and an HF conductor structure leading into the hollow waveguide. The HF conductor structure has an HF transition structure for converting a circuit board conductor mode to a hollow waveguide mode in order to introduce HF waves into the hollow waveguide. The circuit board carrying the HF transition structure is disposed between the housing parts.
