Abstract

A stove system featuring a stove component with a burner and an oven. The stove component has a stove microprocessor and a display. The stove microprocessor is adapted to calculate a temperature of the burner. The display has a temperature indicator which functions to display a relative temperature of the burner. When the burner is in a first temperature range the temperature indicator is illuminated in a first color, when the burner is in a second temperature range the temperature indicator is illuminated in a second color, when the burner is in a third temperature range the temperature indicator is illuminated in a third color, and when the burner is in a fourth temperature range the temperature indicator is illuminated in a fourth color.

Claims

1. A stove system comprising:

(a) a stove component, a burner and an oven having an over door;

(b) a control panel with a stove microprocessor, the stove microprocessor is operatively connected to the burner and oven, the stove microprocessor is adapted to calculate a temperature of the burner;

(c) a display disposed on the stove component, the display has a temperature indicator which functions to display a temperature of the burner, the temperature indicator is operatively connected to the stove microprocessor;

(d) a timer;

(e) a set of wheels disposed on a bottom surface of the stove component 110;

(f) a handle disposed on a top front lip of the stove component, wherein the handle is not attached to the oven door, wherein the handle is pivotally attached to the stove component via a hinge, wherein the handle pivots upward and is pulled upon such that the set of wheels roll and the stove component is moveable;

(g) a wireless remote control separate from the control panel, wherein the wireless remote control has control buttons for remotely operating the stove component; and

(h) a motion sensor adapted to detect motion, the motion sensor is operatively connected to the microprocessor and to a main breaker, wherein if the motion sensor does not detect motion for a first length of time the motion sensor sends a motion sensor input signal to the microprocessor whereupon the microprocessor causes the burner to turn off via the main breaker

wherein when the burner is in a first temperature range between about 450 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a first output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a first color, when the burner is in a second temperature range between about 300 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a second output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a second color, when the burner is in a third temperature range between about 150 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a third output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a third color, and when the burner is in a fourth temperature range between about 65 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a fourth output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a fourth color.

2. The stove system of claim 1, wherein the microprocessor is configured to allow the burner to be turned on to a first set temperature for a first length of time.

3. The stove system of claim 1, wherein the microprocessor is configured to allow the burner to be turned on to a first set temperature for a first length of time and subsequently a second set temperature for a second length of time.

4. The stove system of claim 1, wherein the first color is red.

5. The stove system of claim 1, wherein the second color is orange.

6. The stove system of claim 1, wherein the third color is yellow.

7. The stove system of claim 1, wherein the fourth color is blue.

8. A stove system consisting of:

(a) a stove component, a burner and an oven having an oven door;

(b) a control panel with a stove microprocessor, the stove microprocessor is operatively connected to the burner and oven, the stove microprocessor is adapted to calculate a temperature of the burner;

(c) a display disposed on the stove component, the display has a temperature indicator which functions to display a temperature of the burner, the temperature indicator is operatively connected to the stove microprocessor;

(d) a timer;

(e) a set of wheels disposed on a bottom surface of the stove component;

(f) a handle disposed on a top front lip of the stove component, wherein the handle is not attached to the oven door, wherein the handle is pivotally attached to the stove component via a hinge, wherein the handle pivots upward and is pulled upon such that the set of wheels roll and the stove component is moveable;

(g) a wireless remote control separate from the control panel, wherein the wireless remote control has control buttons for remotely operating the stove component; and

(h) a motion sensor adapted to detect motion, the motion sensor is operatively connected to the microprocessor and to a main breaker, wherein if the motion sensor does not detect motion for a first length of time the motion sensor sends a motion sensor input signal to the microprocessor whereupon the microprocessor causes the burner to turn off via the main breaker

wherein when the burner is in a first temperature range between about 450 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a first output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a first color, when the burner is in a second temperature range between about 300 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a second output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a second color, when the burner is in a third temperature range between about 150 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a third output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a third color, and when the burner is in a fourth temperature range between about 65 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit the microprocessor sends a fourth output signal to the temperature indicator to cause the temperature indicator to be illuminated in a fourth color.
