Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic bread maker for home use, and particularly relates to methods of displaying during the bread making cycle. The automatic bread maker of the present invention comprises: a baking chamber with a heater, a baking pan disposed inside the baking chamber, a kneading blade disposed in the baking pan, a motor which drives the kneading blade, a controller which controls the heater and the motor, an input means for inputting cooking conditions, and a display which displays a time remaining before the time to add additional ingredients and the actual time to add the ingredients. The display shows the remaining time or the actual time to add the ingredients. Therefore, the user can clearly confirm when to add additional ingredients, and can prepare the ingredients accordingly.

Abstract: A server is provided between a plurality of Internet service providers and a plurality of user nodes. The server chooses an appropriate Internet service provider to which a user node is to be connected, according to a user's preference. When the user node is dial-up connected to the server, the server dials up on the Internet service provider which suits the user's preference. After the connection between the user node and the server and the connection between the server and the Internet service provider are established, the server records a connection time and so on of a session in question and uses the thus recorded data for calculating fee to be charged.

Abstract: An automatic bread producing apparatus has a baking chamber. A temperature sensor is operative for detecting a temperature within the baking chamber. A first device is operative for detecting a room temperature. A second device is operative for determining a corrective value in response to the room temperature detected by the first device. A third device is operative for correcting a first control temperature into a second control temperature in response to the corrective value determined by the second device. A fourth device is operative for controlling a bread producing process in response to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor and the second control temperature provided by the third device.
