Electronic control device for automatic cooking, including learning for home electric oven
First Claim
1. Electronic control for an electric home cooking oven comprising a cooking chamber with multiple cooking resistors, comprising base, chamber top, and turbine resistors, capable of being used in combination, characterized by the fact that it comprises:
- power supply means for supplying electrical power to said resistors;
a microprocessor for managing the actions of the user on the keys and automatically controlling the application of voltage to the cooking resistors,a control panel serving as keyboard for the microprocessor comprising keys and light dials of indicators of operation of each key, a display, a GO key and a STOP key, as well as an operation dial indicating the application of voltage to the cooking resistors, the control panel comprising a separate keyboard of memory keys,a working memory being part of the microprocessor for storing the work parameters and using them as the cooking progresses,a learning memory contained in the microprocessor for storing all the parameters of an experimental cooking as it is being executed,a permanent EEPROM memory with several memory positions for selectively storing on command of the user or automatically during a stop in the course of cooking the parameters contained at a given moment in the learning memory.

Abstract
An electronic control for an electric home oven comprises a microprocessor, a panel of function and memory keys used as a keyboard, a working memory of the microprocessor, a learning memory wherein are stored all the parameters of an experimental cooking as it is being executed, except a second modification too close in time to the first, and a permanent memory, outside or not outside the micrprocessor, into which are selectively transferred during a stop in the course of a cooking, on command of the user or automatically, the parameters contained at a given moment in the learning memory.

7. A method for controlling an electric home oven having a control panel connected to a learning memory contained within the memory of a microprocessor and a permanent EEPROM type memory, comprising the steps of:
-
loading into the learning memory the cooking parameters manually selected by the user to start the learning cooking, selectively loading into the learning memory the adjustments and modifications performed by the user after starting the cooking, totaling in the learning memory the parameters resulting from the previous steps, to form the parameters of a recorded cooking, called RECIPE, selectively recording in the permanent memory the parameters totaled in the learning memory. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of controlling an electric home oven having a control panel connected to a learning memory in the memory of a microprocessor and a permanent EEPROM memory comprising the steps of:
-
selecting a recipe recorded in the permanent EEPROM memory to command the oven to automatically re-execute a new cooking according to the parameters of the recorded cooking, adjusting one or several parameters of the new cooking while it is following its course or after it has completed its course, selectively memorizing in the learning memory the adjustments which have occurred previously, totaling in the learning memory the parameters of the recipe and the adjustments, without taking into account a modification followed by another one within a predetermined time interval.
