FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the present invention generally relates to food technology. More particularly the invention relates to a smart cooking aid stirrer in a mixing vessel to mix ingredients to prepare food.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the advancement in society where both men and women are working, cooking has become a tedious task. For the preparation of any meal, taste and health are very important factors. And for preparation of a meal which is both healthy and tasty knowing the right recipe is the most important factor. Thus, a smart cooking aid stirrer which can learn any recipe and help the user with the recipe in the preparation of a meal will be beneficial.

There is no single way for preparing a dish. Different people use different ways to prepare a dish to suit their taste, preferences etc. For example: Our neighbor’s way of preparing sambhar will be different from or way of preparing sambhar. If we want to taste their sambar, knowing the exact recipe is a must. Thus, a smart cooking aid stirrer that can learn the recipe when one person cooks and can aid in preparing the exact recipe when any other person who has no previous experience in cooking that recipe will be beneficial.

Cooking a particular dish is following the exact recipe in preparing that dish. Even when following the recipe, for people who are not experienced in cooking, it is difficult, and they are not sure if they are adding the right ingredient in right quantity. Thus, a smart cooking aid stirrer which can analyze and indicate the user if they are adding the right ingredient in the right amount during the process of cooking will be beneficial.

When the user has added any ingredient at the wrong time, in the wrong quantity, or added any wrong ingredient during the cooking process it may be difficult to achieve the end product at the exact taste as mentioned in the recipe. Thus, a smart cooking aid stirrer which can help the user with numerous alternative ways to try its best to match the dish being prepared to the dish with that quantity, taste etc. as mentioned in the recipe will be beneficial.

For a dish being prepared to be in a perfect taste adding the right number of spices like salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder etc. is very important. Adding the wrong quantity of any of these spices can mess up the entire dish which is being prepared. It is difficult to achieve the perfect taste manually especially for people who have no or less prior cooking experience. Thus, a smart cooking aid stirrer which can analyze the food and aid the user to add the right spice or it’s right quantity or if the user has added too much of any of the spices help the user with alternate ways to achieve the dish’s best taste will be beneficial.

. Timing is the most important factor in cooking. Cooking in time less than what is actually required may result in a dish which may be raw, not in right texture, taste etc. Cooking it for a long time may burn the food or result in overcooking which also affects the taste and the texture of the food. Thus, a smart cooking aid stirrer which can aid the user to add right ingredients at the right time, indicate the user that the food is cooked, alert the user the food has to be removed from stove in this time etc. will be beneficial for the user to prepare the dish at right texture and taste.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the processing module (102) may include Al and deep learning- based trained models using the above data, so as to monitor and learn mixing of ingredients.

The invention works in following manner:

First, when the switch is toggled in the learn mode, as shown in figure 2, the one or more sensors (104n) disposed on the one or more wings (112n) are configured to detect one or more parameters related with the mixing ingredients, inside the mixing vessel. The one or more parameters being smell, quantity, consistency, temperature, and taste. For example: while adding components while preparing a dish by a user, dish such as sambhar, the sensors (104n) are configured to detect smell, quantity, consistency, temperature, and taste inside the mixing vessel using the one or more sensors (104n) such as the temperature sensor, the weighing sensor, the volumetric sensor, the smoke sensor, the taste sensor, and the smell sensor disposed on the one or more wings (112n). There are various sensors (104n) placed inside the stirrer (100) to monitor and measure various important factors but not limited to smell, quantity, consistency, temperature, taste etc. The measurements from these sensors (104n) are locally stored in the memory unit and are also sent to cloud for storing, further access when required, Al learning etc. to aid the user in the cooking process whenever required. The Al analyzes the data, learns from it and tends to use it at the right time the user needs.

Next, the processing module (102) in communication with the one or more sensors (104n), when the switch is in the learn mode, configured to process the one or more parameters to determine a recipe including smell, quantity, consistency, temperature, step of mixing and taste of each ingredient of the mixing ingredients. Continuing the example from above, after the one or more sensors (104n) detect the one or more parameters related to the ingredients involved in making sambhar, the processing module (102) is configured to determine a recipe including smell, quantity, consistency, temperature, step of mixing and taste of each ingredient of the mixing ingredients. The recipe may be determined based on the quantity, timing of mixing the ingredients, temperature of mixing, period for mixing.

Later, the processing module (102) may be configured to monitor and learn the recipe in the learn mode based on the one or more parameters. Continuing the above example, the processing module (102) may learn the timing of mixing the ingredients, quantity of ingredients, type of ingredients, temperature of the mixing ingredients all related with sambhar. In an embodiment of the present invention, the server is configured to store the recipe for the mixing ingredients learned in the learn mode. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, for example, the stirrer (100) creates a taste profile for every user where the user’s taste preferences including the level of spiciness, the consistency level etc. are stored and whenever the user prepares a dish, the stirrer (100) tries to match the foods taste to that of the user taste preferences which the stirrer (100) has in store. In an embodiment of the present invention, after learning the recipe for the dish, the processing module (102) is configured provide instructions including the quantity of ingredients for mixing learned in the learn mode. The user interface of the stirrer (100) in connection with the processing module (102) may receive the provided instructions including the quantity of ingredients for mixing learned in the learn mode from the processing module (102). For example, the user wishes to prepare the sambhar recipe learned by the stirrer (100) in the above steps, the user may select the recipe, from the user interface, and the processing module (102) may offer instructions including the quantity of ingredients for sambhar for mixing learned in the learn mode. Next, the user interface configured to deliver the recipe of preparing the sambhar learned in the learn mode as audio/video output to the user.

Further, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the processing module (102) is configured to provide an alternative recipe in case of addition of incorrect quantity of the mixing ingredients untimely, sensed using the one or more parameters. Continuing the example from above, if by mistake the user added extra salt or pepper while preparing the sambhar dish, the processing module (102) may determine an alternate way to mitigate the effect of salt and convey it to the user using the user interface If the user has added any wrong ingredient, at the wrong time, in wrong quantity, the smart stirrer (100) analyzes and provides ‘N’ alternate ways to correct the mistakes done and to match the food to the one in the recipe from its previous learning, various other sources etc.

In an additional or an alternative embodiment, the user may edit the recipe by personalizing the ingredients in the recipe and instructing the processing module (102) using the user interface to input the personalized ingredients in the learned recipe. In accordance with an embodiment, the stirrer (100) can analyze the food being prepared in the vessel in which it is inserted and check if it matches the recipe it has stored. Also, since it is loT enabled, it enables the user to share recipes from one machine to another, buy or sell recipes etc.

In an additional or an alternative embodiment, the switch when toggled to the instruct mode, the processing module (102) is configured to provide instruction to mix ingredients to prepare a desired food when the switch is toggled to the instruct mode. The instructions may be provided using the user interface to the user. In an embodiment, the processing module (102) in communication with a server, is configured to receive instruction for mixing the ingredients from a server. The server may be another stirrer (100) having a recipe for different dish. The server may be an loT enabled device and may send the recipe to the stirrer (100) over the internet.

For example, when the user wants to cook the recipe stored in the cloud, the user can insert the stirrer (100) in the cooking container and put it in the “Instruct mode”. Then the consumer gets live instruction to cook the desired food through the mobile app. The Al learns the current taste properties while cooking and creates an algorithm for cooking. And on feedbacks from the user re-alters the instructions or recipe or algorithm of cooking to get the desired output according to the taste profile recorded.

In accordance with an additional or alternative embodiment, the stirrer (100) may comprise a mic in communication with the processing module (102) configured to receive oral instructions from the user. The processing module (102) is configured to recognize the voice of the user to receive the oral instructions from the user to determine the recipe for a dish to be cooked.

Further, figure 3 illustrates entire workflow of the smart stirrer (100) unit that can aid in the cooking process of the user. It analyses and learns the cooking process and recipe cooked by the user when inserted into the cooking pot, stores the recipe in the cloud and aids in cooking further the same recipe for any person who do not have any prior cooking experience. The user can give suggestions and feedback after cooking a particular and the Al based on its analysis of the feedback/suggestions given by the user re-alters the recipe for further use of the recipe to match the user preferences.
