Cooking device with a predetermined parameter, program and/or mode of operation
First Claim
1. A cooking device, comprising:
- a locating system that automatically detects a geographic location of the cooking device;
a control or regulating unit that controls an environmental cooking condition inside the cooking device;
a control element communicatively connected to the locating system and to the control or regulating unit, wherein the control element comprises;
a modification function input device; and
a confirmation or storage function input device,wherein the control or regulating unit implements a cooking program or cooking mode of operation using a cooking parameter that is automatically preset based on (1) the cooking program or cooking mode of operation and (2) the geographic location of the cooking device, wherein the value of the cooking parameter defines an environmental cooking condition inside the cooking device for the cooking program or cooking mode of operation,wherein the control element receives information from the locating system regarding the geographic location of the cooking device and automatically presets the cooking parameter by setting the value of the cooking parameter based on the geographic location of the cooking device and the cooking program or cooking mode of operation,wherein the modification function input device is operable by an operator of the cooking device to modify the preset cooking parameter,wherein the confirmation or storage function input device is operable by the operator of the cooking device to affirmatively confirm, accept, or store the preset or modified cooking parameter during a predetermined time period, andwherein the cooking device automatically confirms, accepts, or stores the preset or modified cooking parameter if the predetermined time period has elapsed and the operator has not operated the confirmation or storage function input device with regard to the preset or modified cooking parameter.

Abstract
A cooking device has at least one pre-set parameter for at least one predetermined program, such as a cooking program, and/or cleaning program, and/or for at least one predetermined mode of operation, such as a cooking mode of operation or a cleaning mode of operation. The preset parameter can be modified by means of at least one modification function element of a control element of the cooking device. During a particular time period, the modification can be confirmed, accepted and/or stored by means of at least one confirmation and/or storage function element of the control element of the cooking device, and after a particular time period has elapsed, the modification can be confirmed, accepted and/or stored automatically by the cooking device.

11. A cooking device, comprising:
-
a locating system that automatically detects a geographic location of the cooking device; an interface operable to select an operating language of the cooking device; a control or regulating unit that controls an environmental cooking condition inside the cooking device; a control element communicatively connected to the locating system, the interface, and the control or regulating unit, wherein the control element comprises; a modification function input device; and a confirmation or storage function input device, wherein the control or regulating unit implements a cooking program or cooking mode of operation using a cooking parameter that is automatically preset based on (1) the cooking program or cooking mode of operation and (2) at least one of the geographic location of the cooking device and the selected operating language of the cooking device, wherein the value of the cooking parameter defines an environmental cooking condition inside the cooking device for the cooking program or cooking mode of operation; wherein the control element receives information from at least one of the locating system and the interface and automatically presets the cooking parameter by setting the value of the cooking parameter based on the cooking program or cooking mode of operation and at least one of the geographic location of the cooking device and the selected operating language of the cooking device, wherein the modification function input device is operable by an operator of the cooking device to modify the preset cooking parameter, wherein the confirmation or storage function input device is operable by the operator of the cooking device to affirmatively confirm, accept, or store the preset or modified cooking parameter during a predetermined time period, and wherein the cooking device automatically confirms, accepts, or stores the preset or modified cooking parameter if the predetermined time period has elapsed and the operator has not operated the confirmation or storage function input device with regard to the preset or modified cooking parameter. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
