  • Publication number: 20220273137
    Abstract: A computing device programmed for automatically generating and storing, in computer storage, a digitalization of information relating to a process involving a user-operated device. The computing device detects and records process details as a user uses a user-operated device. Specifically, a user interacts with a kitchen appliance via a user interface of the appliance. An action sequence of manual interactions is captured, each manual interaction triggering a function for processing ingredients in the kitchen appliance. Operating parameters of the kitchen appliance, detected via at least one sensor device of the kitchen appliance during the action sequence at the kitchen appliance, are automatically correlated with the manual interactions. Using the operating parameter data and the sequence of manual user interactions, partial steps of a user-known recipe are automatically identified by the computing device based on comparing the recorded information with reference data sets within library data.
