Abstract
A food processor driven by en electric motor includes a stirrer vessel and a stirring mechanism in the stirrer vessel, an optional heater, and also a volatile or non-volatile memory in which useful date for using the food processor can be stored. The food processor is provided with a loudspeaker and a data file is used for producing sound by the loudspeaker, for example for outputting speech, music or sounds.
Claims10
1-10. (Canceled)
11:
- A food processor (1) driven by an electric motor, with an agitator vessel (4) and an agitator in the agitator vessel (4), if necessary with a heater, farther with a volatile or nonvolatile memory, in which flies useful for application can be stored, wherein a loudspeaker (11) is further provided in the food processor (1), and wherein a file is usable for sound generation by the loudspeaker (11), for example for voice or music or tone output, wherein the output is coupled with a preset time selection in terms of an agitator and/or heater activity, and takes place within this selected period at a specific point in time.
12:
- The food processor according to claim 11, wherein the speed of the agitator is reduced given a voice output that takes place with the agitator running.
13:
- The food processor according to claim 11, wherein the food processor (1) exhibits a noise cancellation device, which generates counter-noises as a function of the noise produced by the food processor (1).
14:
- The food processor according to claim 13, wherein the other noises are in any event cancelled during a voice or music or tone output.
15:
- The food processor according to claim 11, wherein the food processor (1) exhibits a recognition device for recognizing a human user (12), wherein the position of the user (12) relative to the food processor (1) can at the same time also be recognized in relation to a top view.
16:
- The food processor according to claim 15, wherein the output can be adjusted in terms of the radiation direction for a directed sound propagation relating to the user relative to a zero axis (N).
17:
- The food processor according to claim 11, wherein an output can be triggered by the response of a motion detector (16) arranged in the food processor (1).
18:
- The food processor according to claim 11, wherein the output can be triggered via the loudspeaker (11) by touching or actuating a control element of the food processor (1).
19:
- The food processor according to claim 11, wherein an output can be triggered as a function of a specific operating state of the food processor (1).
