The present disclosure relates to a system for providing a carbonization point-in-time (hereinafter referred to as time point) management service providing system when food stuff such as fish or meat (hereinafter, referred to an fish-meat stuff) is cooked, and more particularly to a carbonization time point management service providing system that receives, from a cooking management service providing server, fish-meat detecting information including a cooking time from a cooking start point in time of fish-meat stuff to be cooked to a carbonization time point at which the fish-meat stuff starts to be carbonized, generates a cooking completion acquisition signal in accordance with an end timing of the cooking time, and transmits a cooking completion indication signal to a cooking management dedicated application content, so that the cooking completion indication signal is displayed on the outside.
As life is getting better and eating habits become more widespread, the intake of various kinds of meat such as beef, pork, chicken, and duck, and various kinds of fish is increasing.
In general, roasting is done by putting a grill plate on the top of a hearth containing a heat source such as charcoal, and grilling meat or the like on the grill plate with the meat or the like on top.
However, this general roasting method has the problem that, when the firepower is excessively strong or the grill plate is over-heated, only the surface of the meat becomes burnt and the inside of the meat becomes unripe. In recent years, interest in health has increased, and interest in ways to cook with the best taste and texture without burning meat is increasing.
As a part of this, products based on the technology of cooking fish-meat stuff using infrared rays have been proposed. Fish-meat stuff is grilled by a heat source generated from an infrared lamp generating infrared wavelength light so that the inside and outside of the fish-meat stuff can be uniformly cooked without burning the fish-meat stuff. Meanwhile, in order to make life more convenient, development efforts have been actively made on application technologies for applying dedicated application content to various household appliances. However, in general, when the grill plate is heated by the infrared rays as the heat source and the food to be grilled is placed on the grill plate, the food to be grilled is cooked by the light of infrared rays and thus it is difficult to distinguish the changing color of the food. As a result, it is difficult to confirm whether or not the food is grilled well.

In this case, the heating device 10 according to an embodiment can use infrared rays as a heat source. Since the red light generated during cooking makes it difficult to visually discriminate the degree of the cooking of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked, it is possible to photograph the fish-meat stuff to be cooked through the camera to clearly check the degree of the cooking of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked.
In one embodiment, the heating device 10 for cooking fish-meat stuff includes a heat source supply unit 110, a cooking plate 120, a camera (not shown), a communication unit (not shown), and a weight measuring unit (not shown).
The heat source supply unit 110 directs infrared rays on the upper side of the cooking plate 120 to heat the fish-meat stuff to be cooked put on the cooking plate 120. The cooking plate 120 is configured to heat the fish-meat stuff to be cooked. The camera shoots the fish-meat stuff to be cooked on the cooking plate. In one embodiment, the camera may be a small and lightweight camera module. Preferably, the camera is mounted above the heat source supply unit 110. Accordingly, damage to the camera due to heat generated in the heat source supply unit can be minimized.
The communication unit includes a short-range wireless communication module. The short-range wireless communication module may be a communication module such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zig bee, or NFC (Near Field Communication). However, the short-range wireless communication module is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the communication unit transmits the photographed image of the fish-meat stuff taken by the camera to the portable terminal 30 equipped with the cooking management dedicated application content.
The weight measuring unit measures the weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked placed on the cooking plate 120. In one embodiment, the weight measuring unit is implemented as a scale or a weight sensing sensor for measuring the weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked by measuring the weight increase when the fish-meat stuff is put on the cooking plate. In one aspect, at least one weight measuring unit provided in the heating device 10 for cooking fish-meat stuff is disposed for each of the divided regions of the cooking plate 120, and the weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked placed for each divided region of the cooking plate is measured.
For example, the weight measuring unit may be provided for each of the divided regions (a, b, c, d, . . . ) divided by 30 degrees at the center as shown in
That is, the heating device 10 for cooking fish-meat stuff includes a heat sensing sensor (not shown) for sensing necessary heat while cooking the fish-meat stuff to be cooked on a cooking plate and a cooking time setting unit (not shown) for controlling a cooking time by sensed heat to perform cooking management in response to the detecting information of the fish-meat stuff.
Here, the cooking time setting unit can display the execution information to be cooked and managed in correspondence with the detecting information of the fish-meat stuff while being stored in the heating device 10 for cooking the fish-meat stuff, through a display (not shown), and can transmit the execution information via the communication unit and communicate with the outside to then be externally controlled. In addition, the information photographed by the camera may be stored in a storage medium (not shown) provided in the cooking plate 120 and storing information photographed by the camera, and such a storage medium may be taken out to thus reproduce the information stored in the storage medium through an external display (not shown).
The communication unit 200 includes a wired/wireless communication module and performs data communication with the portable terminal.
The storage unit 280 is implemented as a memory module in which data is stored. In one embodiment, the storage unit 280 stores a discrimination image of fish-meat stuff for discriminating the type of fish-meat stuff to be cooked. Here, it is obvious that the information stored in the storage unit 280 can be added and updated by an access authorized administrator.
The control unit 210 is implemented by a microprocessor module and a program stored and driven therein. Specifically, the control unit 210 includes a fish-meat stuff identification unit 220, a cooking time setting unit 230, an information providing unit 240, a content providing unit 250, a calorie information providing unit 260, and an advertisement providing unit 270. The fish-meat stuff identification unit 220 performs a 1:1 match and mutually compares a previously stored fish-meat stuff discrimination image with the fish-meat stuff photographed image received from the portable terminal 30 via the communication unit 200 with each other. In one embodiment, the fish-meat stuff identification unit 220 detects the shape or color of the fish-meat stuff piece to be cooked from the fish-meat stuff photographed image and compares the detected shape or color of the fish-meat stuff piece with the pre-stored fish-meat discrimination image. The discrimination image of the fish-meat stuff can be implemented as a sample image showing the shape or color of each kind and part of various types of fish-meat stuff.
However, the discrimination image of the fish-meat stuff is not limited thereto, but may be interpreted to encompass various technical measures that can be used to determine whether a match is made through image comparison. The fish-meat stuff identification unit 220 can be set to recognize that the match is equal to or greater than 80 to 90%, for example, between the fish-meat stuff photographed image and the fish-meat stuff discrimination image. The fish-meat stuff identification unit 220 identifies the type of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked and the specific part of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked by comparing and determining the images. The cooking time setting unit 230 estimates a cooking time from a cooking start time point to a carbonization start time point of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked in which the fish-meat stuff to be cooked begins to carbonize, depending on the type of fish-meat stuff to be cooked identified in the fish-meat stuff identification unit 220.
According to one aspect, the cooking time setting unit 230 calculates a cooking time based on a relational expression
That is, the cooking time setting unit 230 reflects the thickness of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked, which is roughly grasped from the photographed image of the fish-meat stuff, and the higher the cooking plate temperature is, and the thinner the thickness of the cooking plate is, the shorter the cooking time is. The information providing unit 240 provides the fish-meat stuff detecting information including the type of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked identified by the fish identification unit 220 and the cooking time calculated by the cooking time setting unit 230, to the portable terminal 30 equipped with the cooking management dedicated application content. The content providing unit 250 provides information on at least one of customized character images, music, and images corresponding to a portable terminal holder who has determined priority based on a preference based on age, gender, occupation, and hobby acquired from the personal information of the portable terminal holder, to the portable terminal 30. For example, one of the customized character images may be a custom character's dance image to the taste of a portable terminal holder. Accordingly, it is possible to save the boredom waiting for the cooking time of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked.
The personal information of the portable terminal holder of the content providing unit 250 is obtained from the communication company server, or may be based on information collected under the consent of the portable terminal holder at the time of initially installing the cooking management dedicated application content.
The calorie information providing unit 260 converts a weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked received from the portable terminal 30 into a calorie value. The converted calorie information is provided to the portable terminal 30 through the communication unit 200. The conversion of the weight to the calorie value can be calculated by applying a weight value of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked, which is put on each of the divided regions to a ratio value set according to the type of the fish-meat stuff. The advertisement providing unit 270 provides the banner advertisement data to the portable terminal 30 equipped with the cooking management dedicated application content. Further, when the portable terminal 30 recognizes that at least a part of the banner advertisement data is clicked, a purchase website linked with the banner advertisement data is displayed on the cooking management dedicated application content. Here, the advertisement providing unit 270 provides the web page address information of the purchase website linked with the banner advertisement data simultaneously, together with the banner advertisement data, or may provide the web page address information of the purchase website linked with the banner advertisement data after the click of the banner advertisement is recognized.
The display unit 360 is implemented as a display screen mounted on the portable terminal 30.
In one embodiment, the display unit 360 is a screen for reproducing cooking management dedicated application content, and displays a photographed image of fish-meat stuff received from the heating device 10 for cooking the fish-meat stuff through the communication unit 300 in real time. The control unit 310 is implemented by a microprocessor module and a program stored and driven therein. Specifically, the control unit 310 includes a carbonization time point monitoring unit 320, a cooking completion acquisition signal generating unit 330, a cooking completion display signal control unit 340, and a fish-meat stuff photographing image reproducing unit 350.
The portable terminal 30 transmits the photographed image of the fish-meat stuff received from the heating device 10 for cooking the fish-meat stuff through the communication unit 300 to the cooking management service providing server 20.
The carbonization time point monitoring unit 320 receives the fish-meat stuff detecting information from the cooking management service providing server 20, and grasps, from the received fish-meat stuff detecting information to the target fish-meat stuff to be cooked, the cooking time from the cooking start time point to the carbonization time point in which the fish-meat stuff starts to be carbonized to monitor the arrival of the carbonization time is monitored.
The cooking completion acquisition signal generating unit 330 generates a cooking completion acquisition signal in accordance with the end timing of the cooking time when the carbonization time point monitoring unit 320 obtains the carbonization timing.
The cooking completion display signal control unit 340 delivers the cooking completion acquisition signal generated by the cooking completion acquisition signal generating unit 330 to the cooking management dedicated application content to perform signal processing so that the cooking completion display signal is notified to the outside. The cooked completion display signal can be displayed visually or audibly or both in the form of external notification.
According to one aspect, the fish-meat stuff photographed image reproducing unit 350 displays, on the display unit 360, the fish-meat stuff photographed image received through the communication unit 300 from the heating device 10 for cooking fish-meat stuff using cooking management dedicated application content during the cooking time.
According to a further aspect, in reproducing the fish-meat stuff photographed image, the fish-meat stuff photographed image reproducing unit 350 reproduces the fish-meat stuff photographed image into which at least one of customized character images, music, and images corresponding to a portable terminal holder who has determined priority based on a preference based on age, gender, occupation, and hobby acquired from the personal information of the portable terminal holder is inserted, in the form of a video image. For example, if a cell phone holder is a housewife in the mid-30s, images such as ballad music, pop songs, and music videos with high preference in the age range can be displayed. If the cell phone holder is a man in the 60s, a part of trot music or a favorite drama or movie can be played back. Otherwise, a dance or song video of a favorite entertainer or character may be displayed. Accordingly, the boredom waiting for cooking the fish-meat stuff to be cooked can be saved. In accordance with another aspect, when reproducing the fish-meat stuff photographed image, the fish-meat stuff photographed image reproducing unit 350
displays the kind and weight information of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked measured for each divided region of the cooking plate while overlapping with the fish-meat stuff photographed image. In other words, the type and weight information of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked, which are put on each of the divided regions of the cooking plate, are further displayed on the fish-meat stuff photographed image. Also, in displaying the fish-meat stuff photographed image, the fish-meat stuff photographed image reproducing unit 350 displays the calorie information, which is obtained by converting the weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked into the calorie value, while further overlapping with the fish-meat stuff photographed image. Therefore, it is possible to provide the convenience of the diet by making it possible to grasp the value of the intake calorie when the fish-meat stuff to be cooked placed on the cooking plate is taken in. In this case, the calorie information of the fish-meat stuff may be a value received from the cooking management service providing server 20 through the communication unit 300 or a value directly calculated based on the weight information within the portable terminal 30 itself.
According to a further aspect, the cooking completion acquisition signal generating unit 330 generates the cooking completion acquisition signals differently for each divided region of the cooking plate.
Then, the cooking completion display signal control unit 340 performs an on/off control of input/output values of the cooking completion display signal for causing at least one of the divided regions of the cooking plate to perform flickering or color conversion in accordance with the time point at which the cooking completion acquisition signal is generated. Therefore, it is possible to individually discriminate whether or not the time point for carbonization of the piece of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked which has been placed on any of the divided regions of the cooking plate has arrived. Here, the cooking completion acquisition signal generating unit 330 generates the cooking completion acquisition signal by further reflecting the optimum time for flipping, in which the flipping optimum time is calculated based on the relational expression
Accordingly, by further notifying the flipping optimum time, it is possible to reverse the pieces of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked at the proper timing during the cooking process.
The cooking management service providing server 20 estimates the type of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked (S420) and the time point of carbonization (S425) by comparing the received fish-meat stuff photographed image with the pre-stored fish-meat stuff discrimination image on a one-to-one basis. Then, in step S430, the fish-meat stuff detecting information including the type of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked and the cooking time is provided to the portable terminal 30 equipped with the cooking management dedicated application content. The cooking management service providing server 20 selects at least one of a personalized character image, music, image, and the like suitable for a portable terminal holder who has determined the priority based on the preference based on the age, gender, occupation, and hobby acquired from the personal information of the portable terminal holder, (S440) and provides the selected information to the portable terminal 30 (S445). For example, one of the customized character images may be a custom character's dance image to the taste of a portable terminal holder. In reproducing the fish-meat stuff photographed image through the cooking management dedicated application content, the portable terminal 30 reproduces the fish-meat stuff photographed image into which at least one of customized character images, music, and images corresponding to a portable terminal holder who has determined priority based on a preference based on age, gender, occupation, and hobby acquired from the personal information of the portable terminal holder is inserted, in the form of a video image.
The cooking management service providing server 20 calculates a calorie value by converting the weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked, which is received from the portable terminal 30, into the calorie value (S460).
Then, the calorie value is provided to the portable terminal 30 (S465).
In reproducing the fish-meat stuff photographed image, the portable terminal 30 displays the type and weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked measured by each of the divided regions of the cooking plate, and the calorie value which is obtained by converting the weight of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked into calorie value while overlapping with the fish-meat stuff photographed image (S470).
In other words, the type, weight and calorie information of the fish-meat stuff to be cooked, which are put on each of the divided regions of the cooking plate, are further displayed on the fish-meat stuff photographed image.
In addition, the cooking management service providing server 20 provides the banner advertisement data to the portable terminal 30 equipped with the cooking management dedicated app content (S475). Further, when the portable terminal 30 recognizes that at least a part of the banner advertisement data is clicked (S480), a purchase website linked with the banner advertisement data is displayed on the cooking management dedicated application content (S485). Here, the cooking management service providing server 20 may simultaneously provide the web page address information of the purchase website linked with the banner advertisement data together with the banner advertisement data, or provide the web page address information of the purchase website after the banner advertisement is clicked in the portable terminal 30.
Thereafter, the portable terminal 30 monitors whether or not the carbonization time point recognized from the fish-meat stuff detecting information is arrived (S490). If the carbonization time point comes, the carbonization time point is informed to the outside (S495).
According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide an effect which enables real-time confirmation of a cooking process of fish-meat stuff which is placed on a heating device for cooking the fish-meat stuff even in the case of performing the other work at the remote place during cooking of the fish-meat stuff, to improve convenience when cooking the fish-meat stuff.
In addition, it is possible to provide an effect which enables reproduction of character images, music, and moving images through dedicated application content loaded on a portable terminal at a time waiting for fish-meat stuff to be cooked in the course of cooking the fish-meat stuff, to thereby eliminate boredom during cooking.
In addition, it is possible to provide an effect which enables displaying calorie information about the fish-meat stuff being consumed during cooking in dedicated application content, to thus provide a product capable of meeting the needs of modern people who are interested in diets. In addition, it is possible to provide an effect which improves advertising efficiency of an advertisement product even when a separate advertising medium is not used by connecting advertisement data of the product and a website for purchasing the product during use of a heating device for cooking fish-meat stuff.
In addition, it is possible to provide an effect of contributing to the industrial development by promoting the development through the development of the cooking appliance industry field and the dedicated application content technology field by combining the dedicated application content service with the fish-meat stuff cooking heating device, thereby improving the service quality.
