Maximilian Könnings has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11700965
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for operating a food processor (10), in which, in a preparation mode, at least one processor device (50) of said food processor (10) is actuated so as to prepare food at least partly automatically, wherein a monitoring device (200) determines detection values (106) by detecting (105), at said processor (10), at least two detection variables (102) specific to a state of preparation.
    Type: Grant

  • 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.
