Abstract
A smart Wi-Fi thermo-sensing device, which allows remote monitoring of temperature with an application running on a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. The device allows a user to monitor a temperature such as in cooking food from where ever a smart phone has connectivity. In addition the smart device will allow for upload and download of data to and from a backend server allowing users to access prior thermo-sensing data. The invention also allows users to participate in contests which may include prizes and or coupons based on different activity conducted with the smart device.
Claims1
A method of operating a smart wireless thermo-sensing device used for cooking and providing temperature readings, points accumulation and redemption, unlocking achievement badges, stored and displayed on a web-enabled computing device by executing computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of user accounts, wherein each of the plurality of user accounts includes user account name, and a password;
- providing the smart wireless thermo-sensing device, wherein the smart wireless thermo-sensing device comprises a plurality of thermo-sensing probes where one or multiple probes are selected for the cooking process;
- providing a graphic user interface, wherein the web-enabled computing device can display the graphic user interface;
- sending a UDP broadcast discovery message with the web-enabled computing device;
- the user interface prompting the user to enter information about the temperature measuring cooking process;
- the user interface allowing entry of calibration data specific to the thermo-sensing probe selected for the cooking process;
- continuously retrieving data from the thermo-sensing probes;
- storing the current thermo-sensing probe temperatures to the computing device;
- displaying the plurality of current thermo-sensing probe temperatures, the plurality of thermo-sensing probe temperature history on the graphical user interface;
- prompting to select the pre-set temperature setting or enter a plurality of target set temperatures for the plurality of thermo-sensing probes, and optional resting time through the graphical user interface;
- activating an alert when the plurality of target temperatures has been reached through the graphical user interface;
- the operator of the smart wireless thermo-sensing device accumulating points for each completed cooking session;
- the operator of the smart wireless thermo-sensing device redeeming the accumulated points for rewards including products, services, or coupons;
- the operator of the smart wireless thermo-sensing device unlocking and accumulating achievement badges for reaching accumulated points thresholds determined by the web-enabled computing device's app;
- and
- the operator of the smart wireless thermo-sensing device unlocking coupons and advertisements only accessible to the operator after reaching the achievement levels corresponding to the accumulated points thresholds determined by the web-enabled computing device's app.
