Abstract

Furthermore, the invention relates to a kitchen appliance (10) for preparing food and a system considered to be for preparing food with a kitchen appliance (10).

First claim

1 . A method for food management with a kitchen appliance for at least partially automated processing of a recipe, comprising the following steps:
Receiving user-specific health data that can be assigned to a user profile, Generation of an evaluation of health data for the user profile by a computing unit, Determine a recipe suggestion based on the evaluation of health data, and Output of the recipe suggestion at a user interface of the kitchen appliance.

2 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, at least the health data includes vital data of a user or in that the generation of the evaluation includes a comparison of the health data with reference data or in that when generating the evaluation, a user response or a vital change to a previous recipe suggestion is considered.

3 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, the method includes the following step:
Evaluation of historical data of at least previously performed cooking methods or previously utilized foods,
whereby at least the history data are considered when determining the recipe suggestion or that the method includes the following step:
Determination of position information of at least the kitchen appliance or a user,
whereby at least the position information is considered when determining the recipe suggestion or that the method includes the following step: At least partially automated processing of the recipe suggestion by the kitchen appliance.

4 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, determining the recipe suggestion includes at least one of the following steps:
Selection of a recipe from a recipe database on the basis of at least the evaluation of health data, a user goal or a vital change, and
Generation of a recipe using the evaluation of at least the health data of a user goal or a change in vitality.

5 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, external reception of the health data by the device interface is possible and external transmission of the health data is at least partially prevented.

6 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, the health data includes activity data of a user and the receiving of the health data comprises the following step: Recording activity data.

7 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, the receiving of the health data occurs via a sensor unit.

8 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, the method comprises the following step:
Receiving of a user goal which is assignable to the user profile,
whereby the user goal is considered when determining the recipe suggestion.

9 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, a recipe sequence is determined at least as a function of the health data, the position information or the user goal or in that the recipe sequence is modified as a function of a user response or a vital change to a recipe suggestion of the recipe sequence.

10 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, a user group is assigned to the user profile.

11 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, the method comprises the following steps:
Determination of an activity suggestion based on the evaluation of health data, and
Output of the activity suggestion.

12 . A kitchen appliance for at least partially automated processing of a recipe, comprising
a functional unit for processing ingredients, and a user interface for interaction with a user, wherein, the user interface is connected to an integrated control unit by means of which a method for food management with a kitchen appliance for at least partially automated processing of a recipe, comprising the following steps:
Receiving user-specific health data that can be assigned to a user profile,
Generation of an evaluation of health data for the user profile by a computing unit,
Determine a recipe suggestion based on the evaluation of health data, and
Output of the recipe suggestion at a user interface of the kitchen appliance can be initiated.

13 . A system for preparing food comprising:
a kitchen appliance, for at least partially automated processing of a recipe with a functional unit for processing ingredients and a user interface for interaction with a user, and a storage unit in which a user profile and user-specific health data can be stored, wherein, a computing unit is provided which is configured to produce an evaluation of the health data and to determine a recipe suggestion as a function of the evaluation and output it at the user interface.

14 . The system according to claim 13 ,
wherein, at least the computing unit or the storage unit can be in communication with at least a further kitchen appliance or a user device in order to record user-specific health data or that a server comprises at least the computing unit or the storage unit.

15 . The system according to claim 13 ,
wherein, the kitchen appliance has an appliance interface by means of which the kitchen appliance can be in communication with at least the computing unit or the storage unit.

16 . The method according to claim 7 ,
wherein, the sensor unit at least comprises a user device or comprises one of the following sensors:
Camera,
GPS sensor,
Scales,
Temperature sensor
Heart rate monitor,
Blood glucose sensor,
Blood pressure sensor,
Pulse sensor, or
Body fat sensor.
