Description

Internet Gas Oven Range

The present invention relates to a gas oven range, and more particularly, to an Internet gas oven range capable of performing a variety of dishes to enable the Internet communication.

Recently, as a device for cooking at home, a gas range, a gas oven, a microwave oven and the like have been used a lot.

Here, the gas oven range is configured such that the cooking chamber of the top burner, the grill and the oven is integrally formed from the top to select an appropriate cooking chamber according to the object to be cooked or the type of cooking, and particularly, the gas oven range. In general, it is programmed by setting the preferred dish to 'automatic cooking'.

The automatic cooking is a method of performing cooking according to preset conditions such as preset cooking temperature and cooking time when the user selects and inputs only a predetermined key of the key input unit.

Thus, unlike in manual cooking, in which the user directly inputs the cooking setting conditions, the additional time and temperature setting process required for setting the cooking temperature and cooking time are not required.

In recent years, the type of automatic cooking provided in home appliances such as the gas oven range has been diversified. This is one reason that the performance of the home appliance to perform the cooking is improved, but because the users want to perform cooking easily and simply in cooking.

In the conventional gas oven range, the type of automatic cooking has been diversified, but since the type of automatic cooking that can be provided by the home appliance itself is limited in number, as a result, the user can use the home appliance in automatic cooking. There was a problem that can only be used for the type of automatic cooking provided by itself.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an internet gas oven range that allows a user to use a variety of automatic cooking algorithms.

The present invention relates to an internet gas oven range for achieving the above object, comprising: a second control unit for controlling to download desired cooking information through the internet communication according to a user's request in a gas oven range capable of internet communication; A memory for storing the downloaded cooking information, a second display for displaying a type of cooking of the cooking information stored in the memory, and a second display for displaying the cooking information when the user selects a type of cooking displayed on the second display. 1 display unit, control to display the cooking information corresponding to the selected cooking type through the data communication with the second control unit to display it on the first display unit, and to perform cooking through the displayed cooking information according to the user's request It is configured to include a first control unit for controlling the characteristics of the .

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, an internet gas oven range according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view showing the configuration of the Internet gas oven range according to the present invention.

As shown, the Internet gas oven range according to the present invention is a gas oven range 10 capable of Internet communication, the second control unit 14 for controlling to download the desired cooking information through the Internet communication in accordance with the user's request A memory unit 13 for storing the downloaded cooking information, a second display unit 15 displaying a cooking type of the cooking information stored in the memory unit 13, and a user displayed on the second display unit 15; When the cooking type is selected, the first display unit 11 for displaying the cooking information is received, and the cooking information corresponding to the selected cooking type is received through data communication with the second control unit 15 and the first display unit 11 is received. ), And a first control unit 12 for controlling to perform cooking through the displayed cooking information according to a user's request.

At this time, the first control unit 12 is a system microcomputer and the second control unit 14 is a communication microcomputer, where the gas oven range 10 of the present invention is a separate external communication means (PC) capable of Internet through an RS232C communication cable. 20).

In addition, the memory unit 13 may be an EEPROM, and the second display unit 15 uses a full graphic LCD.

Looking at the operation of the Internet gas oven range according to the present invention configured as described above, first, the user connects the gas oven range 10 to the Internet-enabled PC 20 and connected to the designated web server through the PC 20 When the user selects the desired cooking information from the various cooking information built in the web server, the second control unit 14 downloads the selected cooking information.

Here, the cooking information is an algorithm that can automatically perform cooking, and may include cooking temperature, cooking time, cooking room location, and the like.

The downloaded cooking information is stored in the memory unit 13 and a cooking list of cooking information, that is, a type of cooking, of the cooking information stored in the memory unit 13 is displayed through the second display unit 15 according to a user's request. .

In this case, the second display unit 15 is configured at a predetermined position on the front surface of the gas oven range case as shown in FIG. 2.

When the user inputs the 'internet menu' through the key input unit 16, the second control unit 14 recognizes this and the second display unit allows the user to select a cooking type of the cooking information stored in the memory unit 13. It is displayed on (15).

In addition, the second display unit 15 may display the download process as a full graphic LCD as shown in FIG. 3 (A), and the screen of the second display unit 15 according to the 'internet menu' input may be As shown in Figure 3 (B) it is implemented by displaying the type of cooking.

Subsequently, when the user selects one of the types of dishes displayed on the second display unit 15 through the key input unit 16, the second control unit 14 may correspond to the first control unit 12 through data communication with the first control unit 12. Cooking information is retrieved from the memory unit 13 and transmitted to the first control unit 12.

The first control unit 12 displays the cooking information transmitted from the second control unit 14 through the first display unit 11. In other words, a control is performed to display a cooking temperature, a cooking time, a cooking room position, and the like corresponding to the dish selected by the user on the first display unit 11.

In this case, when the user inputs a 'start' key through a separate key operation unit (not shown), the first control unit 12 recognizes this and performs cooking according to the cooking information displayed on the first display unit 11. To control the system.

Therefore, in the present invention, when using the 'automatic cooking' function of the gas oven range, the user can download various cooking information desired by the user and perform cooking using the downloaded cooking information.

Internet gas oven range according to the present invention described above to download the cooking information via the Internet communication in addition to the automatic cooking menu that is set in advance to select the desired menu by the user to select the menu to perform cooking according to the cooking information By allowing users to use a variety of automatic cooking algorithms, there is an effect that can maximize the use efficiency of the gas oven range.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the embodiments, but should be defined by the claims.
