  • Patent number: 11278155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for operating a food processor, where at least one processing device of the food processor is controlled, in a preparation mode, so as to at least partially automatically prepare food, and where a monitoring device performs an identification of temporally successive acquisition values at the food processor at least during the preparation mode, where the acquisition values are specific to at least one preparation parameter of the food processor, where at least one analysis information is determined dependent upon the temporally successive acquisition values, and a frequency distribution of the analysis information is identified by a time-dependent analysis, whereby an analysis result specific to a preparation state is determined, where dependent upon the analysis result, at least one control signal is emitted for influencing the preparation mode.

  • Patent number: 11241118
    Abstract: The invention relates to a food processor (10) comprising at least one processor device (50) and one monitoring device (200). In a preparation mode, said processor device (50) can be actuated so as to prepare food at least partly automatically, said monitoring device (200) comprising at least one sensor (52) for determining at least one first and one second recording (101.1, 101.2), wherein the second recording (101.2) such that, depending on this difference, a future specific state of preparation can be ascertained. The monitoring device (200) comprises a process unit (210) by means of which an item of analysis information can be determined based on the first and/or second recording (101.1, 101.2), an analysis (140) of said analysis information can be carried out in order to determine an analysis result specific to said future specific state of preparation, and at least one control signal (161) can be emitted to influence the preparation mode, depending on said analysis result.

  • Patent number: 10378966
    Abstract: A method for measuring a temperature inside a kitchen appliance, in particular a temperature of an item to be cooked, inside a kitchen appliance, includes: transmitting an electromagnetic excitation signal using a transmission-receiving device, receiving the excitation signal by a temperature sensor, which is arranged in the kitchen appliance, in particular in the item to be cooked, transmitting a temperature-dependent response signal by the temperature sensor, receiving the response signal by the transmission-receiving device, determining the current temperature by comparing the response signal to temperature-dependent reference signals. To also provide for an interaction between a plurality of kitchen appliances, the transmission-receiving device transmits the response signal or partial information of the response signal and/or the value of a current temperature, which is determined by the transmission-receiving device, to a control device of a further kitchen appliance or to an external processor.

  • Publication number: 20180317713
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a food processor (1) with a base unit (2) having an electric motor and a preparation vessel (3) that can be arranged on a vessel retainer of the base unit (2), wherein the vessel retainer has allocated to it a weighing apparatus (4), which records the weight of the preparation vessel (3), wherein a calculating means of the food processor (1) determines a weight from a measured value measured by the weighing apparatus (4). In order to advantageously use the weighing apparatus (4) to recognize a current state of the food processor (1), it is proposed that the calculating means ascertain a time weight gradient based on at least two weights determined at different times.
