COOKING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240093874 titled 'COOKING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The cooking device described in the patent application includes a main body with a cooking chamber inside. The cooking chamber features a grill heater in the upper portion, consisting of straight and curved sections. A camera module is positioned above the grill heater to capture images inside the cooking chamber, with lighting modules on either side to illuminate the area. Detour sections are incorporated into the design to prevent interference with the camera module and lighting modules.
- Main components of the cooking device:
- Main body - Cooking chamber - Grill heater with straight and curved sections - Camera module - Lighting modules - Detour sections
- Purpose of detour sections:
- Prevent interference with camera module and lighting modules - Ensure unobstructed view for photography and lighting
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in commercial kitchen equipment, home cooking appliances, and outdoor grilling devices.
Problems Solved
The design prevents obstruction of the camera module and lighting modules by the grill heater, ensuring clear visibility inside the cooking chamber.
Benefits
Improved visibility for monitoring cooking progress, enhanced safety features, and potential for automated cooking processes.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Cooking Device Visibility for Improved Monitoring and Safety"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to cooking devices with integrated cameras for monitoring, but specific examples are not provided in this patent application.

Original Abstract Submitted
a cooking device including a main body; a cooking chamber inside the main body; a grill heater in an upper portion of the cooking chamber and including a plurality of straight sections arranged in parallel, and a plurality of curved sections connecting the plurality of straight sections; a camera module above the grill heater to photograph the inside of the cooking chamber; first and second lighting modules at opposite sides of the camera module above the grill heater to radiate light toward the inside of the cooking chamber, wherein portions of at least some of the straight sections and at least some of the curved sections are configured as detour sections bypassing a photographing area of the camera module and light irradiation areas of the first and the second lighting modules so that the grill heater does not interfere with the photographing area and the light irradiation areas.
