Publication number: 20200069103Abstract: Predictive cooking systems and methods are disclosed. A representative system can include a cooking device submergible in a container of fluid and a memory device storing instructions for causing a processor to receive information and determine heater set point temperature and on time. The processor can receive information indicative of one or more characteristics of a food item to be cooked in the fluid and a desired food temperature. The processor can perform a control process that can include sending instructions for controlling a heater, obtaining a temperature measurement of the fluid from a temperature sensor, determining a measurement of power delivered to the heater, determining constants related to corresponding physical characteristics of the fluid and/or the container based on at least one of the temperature measurement and the measurement of power, and determining a food temperature of the food item.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2018Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Douglas Baldwin, Kevin Klonoff, Christopher Charles Young

Patent number: 10503739Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a query processing system configured to receive user submitted questions and provide answers to the user submitted questions. In an example embodiment a system receives a user query from a user. The system then determines if a response is available that matches an intent of the user query above a threshold confidence level. The systems then prompts the user for permission to enable access to the user query to other users. If permission is granted, the system then enables access to the user query to the user users. Responses to the user query received from one or more of the other users are then output to the user, for example, via a computing device or an appliance. Further, in some embodiments, feedback received from the user regarding output responses can be used to train machine learning models associated with the system.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Breville USA, Inc.Inventors: Michael Joshua Natkin, Christopher Charles Young

Patent number: 10444723Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles for gathering and utilizing individual and aggregate data from connected cooking devices, online recipe databases and/or mobile applications. Cooking instructions may be stored as processor-readable cooking programs that use mutable real time status updates as input. Such programs may be chosen via a user computing device and may be further parameterized by numeric, textual or camera-based inputs. Various methods may be used to determine what foods a user is preparing, and what equipment and techniques are used. This data may be supplemented with feedback to verify what was cooked, how the result compared to visual representation in advance of cooking, and satisfaction level. The data may be used to reproduce past cooking results, adjust future recipes, suggest recipes or products, or connecting users to online communities of users. Cooking data may be used to offer just-in-time problem solving, products, or connection to other users.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: CHEFSTEPS, INC.Inventors: Christopher Charles Young, Douglas Eugene Baldwin, Michael Natkin, Nelson Timothy Salazar

Publication number: 20190231113Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles to provide customized control of a cooking appliance, such as a sous vide cooker. A user provides a selection of one or more ending characteristics for a food product. A processor-based device determines one or more output food preparation parameters based on the user's selection of the one or more ending characteristics. Measurements of temperature, power delivery, or other characteristics may be obtained during cooking process. A cooking program controlling the cooking process may be revised or updated based at least in part on the obtained measurements or analysis of the measurements. Estimations or projections about the cooking process may be presented to a user via a user interface of the cooking appliance or a user interface of one or more computing devices (e.g., smartphone, tablet computer) associated with the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Christopher Charles Young, Nelson Timothy Salazar, Emmett Barton, Michael Natkin, Douglas Eugene Baldwin
