Oven with electronic remote controller

An electronically controlled over comprising

• a main body,
• a remote controller which is physically separable from said main body, said remote controller including
• a scanner means for scanning a code and outputting a code signal inactive of said scanned code,
• a first transmitter means for transmitting electromagnetic wave signals,
• as display means, and
• a processing means connected to said scanner means to receive said code signal outputted from said scanner means, said processing means being so programmed as to judge whether said received code signal is in a transmittable form and to cause said transmitter means to transmit said code signal electromagnetically if said received code signal is judged transmittable,
• said main body including
• a first receiver means for receiving said code signal transmitted from said first transmitter means and converting said received code signal into an a electric code signal,
• memory means storing cooking programs and display programs of time sequences individually associated with said cooking programs.
• a cooking chamber,
• heater means for heating items inside said cooking chamber,
• control means so connected as to receive said electric code signal and so programmed as to retrieve from said memory means a particular one of said stored cooking programs corresponding to said electric code signal and one of said display programs associated with said particular one of said cooking programs, said control means being further so programmed as to output heater-controlling signals according to said retrieved cooking program,
• heater-control means so connected as to receive said heater-controlling signals and to control operations of said heater means according to said received heater-controlling signals, and
• a second transmitter means for transmitting signals electromagnetically,
• said control means being further so programmed as to cause said second transmitter means to transmit display signals according to said retrieved display program,
• said remote controller further including a second receiver means for receiving said display signals, converting said display signals into electrical display signals and transmitting said electrical display signals to said processing means, and
• said processing means being further so programmed as to display the progress in the execution of said retrieved program in said display means in response to said received display signals.

An electronically controlled oven comprising

• a main body,
• a remote controller which is physically separable from said main body, said remote controller including
• a scanner means for scanning a code and outputting a code signal indicative of said scanned code,
• a first transmitter means for transmitting electromagnetic wave signals,
• a display means, and
• a processing means connected to said scanner means to receive said code signal outputted form said scanner means, said processing means being so programed as to judge whether said received code signal is in a transmittable form and to cause said transmitter means to transmit said code signal electromagnetically if said received code signal is judged transmittable,
• said main body including
• a first receiver means for receiving said code signal transmitted form said first transmitter means and converting said received code signal into an electric code signal,
• memory means storing cooking programs and display programs of time sequences individually associated with said cooking programs,
• a cooking chamber,
• heater means for heating items inside said cooking chamber,
• control means so connected as to receive said electric code signal and so programmed as to retrieve from said memory means a particular one of said stored cooking programs corresponding to said electric code signal and one of said display programs associated with said particular one of said cooking programs, said control means being further so programmed as to output heater-controlling signals according to said retrieved cooking program,

• said remote controller further including a second receiver means for receiving said display signals, converting said display signals into electrical display signals and transmitting said electrical display signals to said processing means,
• said remote controller further including input means for receiving user's commands for having data related to said retrieved program displayed in said display means and/or modifying said retrieved program, and
• said processing means being further so programmed as to cause said display means to make a display according to said display signal received by said second receiver means and to cause said first transmitter means to transmit command signals in response to said commands received by said input means.
