Abstract
A method for controlling a cooking appliance of the basis of a control command transferred from a mobile device to a control device via a wireless data connection, comprising the steps of: capturing a plurality of the sample values correlating to a signal strength of the wireless data connection, determining a test value on the basis of the plurality of sample values, comparing the test value with a reference test value to determine a comparison result, limiting the controllability of said cooking appliance by means of the mobile device according to the comparison result.
Claims8
A method for controlling a cooking appliance on the basis of a control command transferred from a mobile device to a control device via a wireless data connection, comprising the steps of:
- capturing a plurality of sample values correlating to a signal strength of the wireless data connection;
- determining a single test value on the basis of the plurality of sample values;
- comparing the test value with a reference test value to determine a comparison result;
- and
- limiting the controllability of the cooking appliance via the mobile appliance according to the comparison result,
- wherein determining the single test value comprises determining a sample average value of the plurality of sample values,
- wherein the reference test value is determined on the basis of a calibration test value,
- wherein the user is prompted by a user interface to position the mobile device at a preset distance from the control device and to confirm this arrangement via the user interface and wherein the calibration test value is determined as a test value at the preset distance between the control device and the mobile device.
