Publication number: 20170142782Abstract: In a heating cooker, multiple IH coils (3) are provided under a top plate, so as to heat an object to be heated by induction heating. Operation display unit (7) is configured with touch panel (5) to display information prompting an operation via touch panel (5) and receive an input of the operation via touch panel (5). Control unit (202) controls operation display unit (7) and drive unit (203), according to an operation input to operation display unit (7). Control unit (202) also sets a selection region on touch panel (5) and a heating region on the top plate, according to a drag operation on touch panel (5). Operation display unit (7) displays a selection region. Drive unit (203) drives one or more IH coils (3) corresponding to the heating region. This configuration enables to offer an inexpensive heating cooker with higher flexibility in the placement position of the object to be heated, without compromising its operability.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2015Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: NAOKI YAMASAKI, TAKAYUKI HAYAMI, YASUHIRO BAN, TAKAHIRO MIYAUCHI, KOHJI NIIYAMA
