COOKING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18524953 titled 'COOKING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The cooking apparatus described in the patent application includes a main body with an inner case forming a cooking chamber, a heating device, a transparent member as part of the inner case's upper wall, and a camera positioned above the transparent member to capture images of the inside of the cooking chamber.
- The cooking apparatus has a main body.
- An inner case forms a cooking chamber within the main body.
- A heating device is used to heat the cooking chamber.
- A transparent member is part of the inner case's upper wall.
- A camera is positioned above the transparent member to capture images of the inside of the cooking chamber.
- The camera has a viewing angle of 80 degrees or more along the left and right direction of the main body.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in smart cooking appliances, allowing users to monitor their food as it cooks without having to open the appliance.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of not being able to monitor the cooking process without opening the cooking chamber, which can lead to heat loss and uneven cooking.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved cooking accuracy, convenience for users, and potentially better tasting food due to more precise monitoring of the cooking process.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Cooking Appliances with Built-in Cameras for Monitoring"
Possible Prior Art
