Method for controlling a culinary preparation apparatus

An internal control method of a culinary preparation apparatus comprising a control entity arranged to receive control pieces of information according to a communication protocol and at least one functional element capable of being controlled by the control entity and capable of performing a task, the internal control method of the culinary preparation apparatus comprising, for each stage of a recipe preparation including a plurality of stages, the following steps:

• (E1) receiving a control piece of information comprising a control instruction related to at least one functional element determined by the control entity, then
• (E11) a configuration step carried out by the control entity and consisting in checking an ability of the at least one functional element to execute the control instruction and/or in arranging the at least one functional element for execution of the task,
• (E2) generating a state piece of information by the control entity, the state piece of information being related to the ability of the at least one functional element to execute the control instruction,
• (E3) transmitting the state piece of information by the control entity to a warning device of the culinary preparation apparatus, the warning device being capable of emitting a signal related to the state piece of information,
• (E31) after the step of transmitting the state piece of information by the control entity to the warning device, emitting the signal related to the state piece of information by the warning device, the signal being a physical signal perceptible by a user,
• (E04) acquiring a confirmatory control instruction from a user interface of the culinary preparation apparatus, wherein the warning device is a button capable of being illuminated and the confirmatory control instruction is an input provided by pressing the button when illuminated,
• (E4) receiving the confirmatory control instruction by the control entity from the user interface of the culinary preparation apparatus,
• (E5) triggering execution of the task that is determined by the at least one functional element and corresponding to the confirmatory control instruction, then
• (E6) executing the task determined by the at least one functional element determined by the control entity corresponding to the control instruction, the task corresponding to the execution by the at least one functional element determined by the control entity of at least one elementary operation according to a determined operating time and/or according to a determined power and/or according to a setting determined by the at least one determined functional element,
• (Ect) emitting monitoring pieces of information by the control entity, each corresponding to a monitoring request received by the control entity and
• a) concerning the progress of the execution of the task during the step of (E6) executing the task and/or
• b) concerning an operation anomaly of the culinary preparation apparatus and/or
• c) concerning an operation conformity of the culinary preparation apparatus during the configuration step (E11) or the step of executing the task (E6),
• wherein the emitted monitoring pieces of information are included in the control piece of information and are also sent separately.
