DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention according to claim 1 includes a heating chamber for heating food, a high-frequency oscillator for supplying a high-frequency output to the heating chamber, a control means for controlling the high-frequency oscillator, and menu selection and heating conditions. Input means having a plurality of input keys to input; display means for displaying cooking recipes and heating control states comprising a plurality of screens; screen position storage means for storing current display screens in a plurality of screens in a certain menu; In the cooking device provided with a screen position storage means and a screen position control means for controlling the display means, the screen position control means causes the input means to display a plurality of screens on the display means, Is recognized and stored in the screen position storage means, and it becomes possible to select another cooking and cook, and automatically return to the previous display screen after the cooking is completed. It is characterized in. As a result , the displayed screen position of a cooking recipe or the like composed of a plurality of screens can be stored at all times, and can be configured to return even if the display is interrupted due to any interruption. .
[0009]
In addition, it is possible to perform other cooking while displaying the cooking recipe, etc., and after the cooking is completed, the display automatically returns to the previous display screen. Interrupted cooking such as warming can be performed easily, and since it automatically returns, it can be performed without being interrupted by ongoing cooking, and operability can be improved.
[0010]
In addition to the invention described in claim 1, the invention described in claim 2 uses a storage medium that is not erased even when the power is turned off in addition to the invention described in claim 1. Even if the power supply is cut off, the previous display screen can be displayed when the power is restored, and the operation can be continued without resetting, thereby improving the operability.
[0011]

[0012]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
Example 1
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a heating cooker according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Moreover, the external view of the heating cooker is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, a high-frequency oscillator 7 for irradiating a heating chamber 6 with a high-frequency output and a control means 8 are connected, and the control means 8 is controlled by a microcomputer 9 (hereinafter referred to as a microcomputer) to make the high-frequency output variable.
[0014]
About the cooking-by-heating machine comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.
[0015]
First, a menu is selected by the input unit 11 in the operation unit 10, and the selected menu is controlled by the microcomputer 9 and displayed on the display unit 13 by the display unit 12. When an instruction to display a cooking recipe is given by the input means 11, a signal is sent to the screen position storage means 15 in order to store the currently displayed screen by the screen position control means 14 in the microcomputer 9. The position of the current display screen is stored. Then, the input means 11 sequentially shifts to the display of the next screen, and the contents of the cooking recipe can be viewed on the display means 12.
[0016]
In particular, in cooking with a long time required, there is a case where it is desired to perform another cooking such as heating the milk of a child when the preparation is displayed. In that case, even if the cooking recipe is being displayed, if milk is set by the input means 11 as it is, the screen position control means 14 switches the current display screen to the milk display and causes the display means 12 to display it. When cooking is completed or cancelled, the screen position control means 14 takes in the previous display screen position from the screen position storage means 15 and automatically causes the display means to display the previous display screen position.
[0017]
In addition, as a display means, there exist a liquid crystal, LED, a fluorescent display tube, etc. Moreover, it can respond also to complicated displays, such as a cooking recipe, by using a dot matrix type. Furthermore, the color type display means enables display of cooking images and the like, leading to improved operability.
[0018]
As the storage means, there are a method of storing in the internal RAM of the microcomputer 9, a method of storing in a nonvolatile memory connected to the periphery of the microcomputer 9, a removable card type storage medium, a floppy disk, and the like.
[0019]
Furthermore, as an input means, there is a method using a touch panel.
[0020]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the display screen position is automatically stored at all times, and even if the display is interrupted due to the interruption of other cooking, the screen that was previously displayed by the end of cooking or cancellation Thus, it is possible to cook without a troublesome operation even in cooking with a long time required.
[0021]
In this embodiment, the storage means is a storage medium that is not erased even when the power is turned off, so that the previous display screen position can be stored even if the power is shut off due to a momentary power failure or power failure. Since it is possible to display at the time of return, cooking can also proceed without resetting the cooking recipe.
[0022]
In addition, by making the storage means of the present embodiment a removable storage medium, it is possible to display from a screen on the way, especially in a device capable of displaying a cooking recipe on other devices, and cooking without fixing the display location. The operability can be improved.
[0023]
(Example 2)
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the heating cooker in the second embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the thing of the same code | symbol as Example 1 has the same structure, and abbreviate | omits description.
[0024]
First, in step S1, the microcomputer 9 determines whether or not a recipe is being displayed based on an input signal from the input means 11. If the recipe is being displayed, the microcomputer 9 proceeds to step S2 to check whether the current screen has been stored. Judge whether or not. If not stored, the current screen position is stored in the screen position storage means 15 in step S3. If stored, the process proceeds to step S4. If the recipe is not being displayed, the processes in steps S2 and S3 are skipped, and the process proceeds to step S4.
[0025]
Next, in step S4, if other cooking is set during the cooking recipe display, the cooking interruption is in progress. If the other cooking interruption is in progress, the process proceeds to step S5, and the other cooking display screen is displayed. Here, if the other cooking interruption is not in progress, the following processing is skipped and the processing returns to step S1.
[0026]
After switching to the other cooking display in step S5, the process proceeds to step 6 to determine whether cooking is finished. Until the end of cooking, the process returns to step S1 to repeatedly display other cooking, and when cooking ends, the process proceeds to step S7, the previous display screen is called from the screen position storage means 15, and the process proceeds to step S8. Automatically change the screen display to recipe display. By repeating these, even if other cooking is set while the cooking recipe is displayed, it is possible to automatically return.
[0027]
In addition, it goes without saying that overlapping interruptions such as other cooking during other cooking can be made in preparation of necessary judgment during other cooking interruption. Further, another recipe display during the recipe display can be performed by preparing a plurality of current screen positions.
[0028]
Furthermore, the determination during the recipe display and the determination during the other cooking interruption can be made in any order, and the program can be made easy. In some cases, the determination may be unnecessary.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the heating cooker of the present invention, it becomes possible to perform other cooking while a cooking recipe having a long time is displayed, and automatically returns when cooking is finished or canceled. Even if a third person cooks separately while the hands are dirty, such as preparation, the user can recover without problems and improve operability.
