Abstract
A connected oven, including a set of in-cavity sensors and a processor configured to automatically identify foodstuff within the cooking cavity, based on the sensor measurements; and automatically operate the heating element based on the foodstuff identity.
Claims20
A method for oven operation, comprising:
- detecting a foodstuff insertion event;
- determining a series of default cooking instructions;
- determining food parameter values based on signals sampled by sensors on-board the oven;
- automatically generating a series of custom cooking instructions by adjusting the default cooking instructions based on the food parameter values;
- automatically controlling oven operation according to the series of custom cooking instructions;
- in response to detection of the foodstuff insertion event, automatically sampling video of the oven cavity with the camera during oven operation;
- and
- automatically displaying the video on a user display of a user device, separate from the oven, in near-real time.
A method for oven operation, the oven defining an oven cavity and including a camera directed toward the oven cavity, the method comprising:
- detecting a foodstuff insertion event;
- determining a series of cooking instructions;
- automatically controlling oven operation according to the series of cooking instructions;
- automatically sampling video of the oven cavity with the camera during oven operation according to the series of cooking instructions;
- transmitting the video to a user device through a wireless connection established between the oven and the user device;
- and
- automatically displaying the video on a user display of the user device.
A method for oven operation, the oven defining an oven cavity and including a camera directed toward the oven cavity, the method comprising:
- detecting a foodstuff insertion event;
- determining a series of cooking instructions;
- automatically controlling oven operation according to the series of cooking instructions;
- periodically determining food parameter values during oven operation;
- dynamically adjusting upcoming cooking instructions based on the periodically determined food parameter values;
- automatically sampling video of the oven cavity with the camera during oven operation according to the series of cooking instructions;
- and
- automatically displaying the video on a user display.
