ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240180361 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The cooking apparatus described in the patent application includes an image capturer, memory, and processor to detect contamination levels in food based on captured images.

  • The image capturer obtains an image of food in the cooking apparatus.
  • The processor uses contamination detection techniques to determine contamination levels in the captured image.
  • The weight of the contamination level information is identified based on the type of food or cooking phase.
  • Final contamination level information is obtained and used to identify the contamination level of the image capturer.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as food processing, restaurants, and home cooking to ensure food safety and quality control.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in detecting contamination levels in food, ensuring food safety and preventing health hazards.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved food safety, enhanced quality control, and increased efficiency in food preparation processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in smart kitchen appliances that can detect contamination levels in food during the cooking process.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be similar systems used in the medical field to detect contamination levels in medical equipment based on images captured.

Unanswered Questions

== How does the technology differentiate between different types of contamination in the food? The technology uses contamination detection techniques to identify and differentiate between various types of contamination based on the captured images.

== Can the system provide real-time feedback on contamination levels during the cooking process? The system can provide real-time feedback on contamination levels by continuously analyzing the captured images and updating the contamination level information accordingly.


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed is a cooking apparatus including an image capturer for obtaining an image of food located in the cooking apparatus, a memory, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the cooking apparatus to: obtain an image through the image capturer; obtain contamination level information according to a plurality of contamination detection techniques for detecting contamination of the image capturer based on the obtained image; identify a weight of the contamination level information based on at least one of a type of food or a cooking phase; obtain final contamination level information based on the contamination level information and the weight; and identify a contamination level of the image capturer based on the final contamination level information.
