SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECIPE DEPENDENT CLEANING OF COOKING APPLIANCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042502 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECIPE DEPENDENT CLEANING OF COOKING APPLIANCES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a recipe program that includes instructions for a cooking apparatus to prepare a food product. The program also includes a module to analyze the recipe instructions and determine suitable cleaning modes based on the parameters of the instructions. A cleaning mode selector module selects a cleaning mode based on predefined rules, and a cleaning execution module executes the selected cleaning mode after the recipe instruction is completed, unless the instruction is associated with a non-cleaning indicator.

  • The patent application describes a recipe program for a multifunction cooking apparatus.
  • The program includes recipe instructions and a recipe execution engine to control the cooking apparatus.
  • A recipe instruction analyzer module analyzes the instructions based on cooking mode, temperature, and ingredients.
  • A cleaning mode determination module determines suitable cleaning modes based on the analysis results.
  • A decision module associates cleaning modes with the parameters of the recipe instructions.
  • A cleaning mode selector module selects a specific cleaning mode based on predefined selection rules.
  • A cleaning execution module executes the selected cleaning mode after the completion of a recipe instruction, unless it is marked as a non-cleaning instruction.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Home cooking appliances with multifunction capabilities.
  • Professional cooking equipment with automated cleaning features.
  • Smart kitchen devices that can analyze and execute recipe instructions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the cleaning process by automatically selecting and executing suitable cleaning modes.
  • Reduces the risk of cross-contamination by ensuring proper cleaning after each recipe instruction.
  • Saves time and effort for users by automating the cleaning process.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved convenience and efficiency in cooking and cleaning.
  • Enhanced food safety by promoting proper cleaning practices.
  • User-friendly interface for recipe execution and cleaning.
  • Potential for customization and personalization based on user preferences.


Original Abstract Submitted

a recipe program with a plurality of recipe instructions for the preparation of a food product includes recipe instructions to be executed by a multifunction cooking apparatus as controlled by a recipe execution engine. a recipe instruction analyzer module analyzes a recipe instruction with regard to parameters (cooking mode, temperature, ingredients) of the recipe instruction. a cleaning mode determination module determines suitable cleaning mode(s) dependent on the results of the analysis by using a decision module which associates one or more cleaning modes with the parameters. a cleaning mode selector module selects, in accordance with predefined selection rules, a particular cleaning mode from the suitable cleaning mode(s). a cleaning execution module executes the selected cleaning mode after completed execution of the respective recipe instruction if the respective recipe instruction is not associated with a non-cleaning indicator in the recipe program.
