Controlling power delivery to a cooking vessel system and method

A method of controlling heating of a cooking vessel on an inductive stove, the method comprising:

• placing a shield coil assembly on a cooktop of an induction stove over an induction coil of the induction stove, the shield coil assembly comprising:
• a shield coil,
• a switching element configured to switch the shield coil between a transparent mode and a shielded mode, wherein switching between the transparent mode and the shielded mode is configured to generate dynamic control of coupling efficiency between the induction coil of the induction stove and an object placed on the shield coil assembly,
• a microcontroller configured to execute program instructions for controlling one or more operations of the shield coil assembly based on instructions stored in a memory, the one or more operations including the switching between the transparent mode and the shielded mode,
• control circuitry configured to coordinate the one or more operations including the switching between the transparent mode and the shielded mode,
• a temperature sensor,
• an interface configured for a user to input at least one of a user-defined temperature or a user-defined temperature range, and
• a communication module configured to communicate wirelessly with at least one of the induction stove, a user device or a remote server;
• placing the cooking vessel on the shield coil assembly on the cooktop of the induction stove over the induction coil the induction stove;
• switching, by the microcontroller controlling the switching element, the shield coil assembly to the transparent mode to allow inductive heating of the cooking vessel,
• obtaining first state data, that includes first temperature data obtained from the temperature sensor;
• determining to switch to the shielded mode based at least in part on the obtained first state data including the first temperature data obtained from the temperature sensor, and in response, switching, by the microcontroller controlling the switching element, the shield coil assembly to the shielded mode from the transparent mode, to prevent or reduce inductive heating compared to the transparent mode;
• obtaining second state data, that includes second temperature data obtained from the temperature sensor;
• and
• determining to switch to the transparent mode based at least in part on the obtained second state data, and in response, switching, by the microcontroller controlling the switching element, the shield coil assembly to the transparent mode from the shielded mode to allow inductive heating of the cooking vessel,
• wherein the switching between the shielded mode and the transparent mode causes the shield coil assembly, based at least on monitoring temperature of the cooking vessel via the temperature sensor, to heat the cooking vessel on the shield coil assembly to the user-defined temperature or the user-defined temperature range and holding the cooking vessel at the user-defined temperature or within the user-defined temperature range.
