The invention is based on a hob device, in particular an induction hob device, with at least one variable cooking surface area and with at least one operator interface for input and output of at least one cooking surface area parameter.

In particular, the variable cooking surface area differs from a cooking surface in which cooking zones are fixed, in particular by markings on the cooking surface. In particular, the variable cooking surface area is formed by at least one heating element matrix and/or at least one movable heating element. The variable cooking surface area advantageously has at least one sensor unit, which is formed in particular by the heating elements themselves, which is intended to detect set-up cooking utensils, in particular by measuring at least one inductance and/or at least one capacitance. In particular, the variable cooking surface area is intended to assign a cooking zone that is adapted in shape, size and/or position to a detected cooking utensil. In particular, the variable cooking surface area has at least one control unit which is intended to evaluate measured values from the sensor unit, to calculate at least one cooking zone and to determine heating elements that form this cooking zone. A “heating element matrix” is intended to mean in particular a, preferably two-dimensional, advantageously regular arrangement, in particular with a square or hexagonal pattern, of at least four, in particular at least ten, advantageously at least twenty heating elements, in particular induction heating elements. A “movable” heating element is intended to mean, in particular, a heating element that is intended to be moved by means of at least one actuator of the variable cooking surface, within at least a partial area of the variable cooking surface. A “heating element” is intended to mean, in particular, an element that is intended to transmit, preferably electrical energy, to a cooking utensil, preferably through at least one hob plate, in at least one operating state. In particular, the heating element is intended to transmit a power of at least 100 W, in particular at least 500 W, advantageously at least 1,000 W, preferably at least 2,000 W in at least one operating state in which the heating element is connected to a supply electronics. In particular is the heating element is designed as an induction heating element. An “induction heating element” is to be understood in particular as a wound electrical conductor, preferably in the form of a circular disk, through which high-frequency alternating current flows in at least one operating state. In particular, the induction heating element is intended to convert electrical energy into an alternating magnetic field, which is intended to cause eddy currents and/or magnetic reversal effects in a metallic, preferably at least partially ferromagnetic heating medium, in particular a cooking utensil, which are converted into heat. Preferably, the induction heating element is intended to cause heating of the heating medium. Preferably, the induction heating element is intended to convert electrical energy into electromagnetic field energy in the operating mode, which is ultimately converted into heat in a suitable heating means. An “operator interface” is to be understood in particular as a unit that includes at least one input unit, at least one output unit and at least one control unit. In particular, the operator interface is provided for communication between at least one component, in particular the variable cooking surface area, and at least one operator.

In particular, the operator interface is provided for the input and output of at least one heating power density. The cooking surface area parameter is designed as the heating power density. In particular, the operator interface has a width of a maximum of 7 cm, in particular a maximum of 5 cm, advantageously a maximum of 4 cm and preferably a maximum of 3 cm, which is at least substantially perpendicular to at least one operator interface longitudinal extent. Advantageously, the operator interface longitudinal extent has a value of at least 15 cm, in particular at least 30 cm, advantageously at least 40 cm, preferably at least 50 cm and advantageously at least 80 cm. An “input unit” is to be understood in particular as a unit that has at least one input means. In particular, the input unit is intended for this purpose, in particular due to a Actuation of the input means, operating signals, in particular electrical signals, advantageously generate information, preferably commands. Preferably, the control unit of the operator interface is intended to interpret the operating signals generated by the input unit of the operator interface. An “output unit” is to be understood in particular as a unit which has at least one output element. In particular, the output unit has at least two output states and, in at least one output state, provides an optical and/or acoustic output and preferably emits a signal that is visible and/or audible to a person.

In particular, the output unit is provided for at least one, preferably optical, in particular numerical and/or color output of at least one heating power density. Alternatively, the output unit could be provided for outputting at least one heat distribution, for example in the case of different temperatures of a cooking utensil. In particular, the output unit is intended to output the heating power density optically, preferably by means of at least one filling of the display strip and/or a color intensity of the display strip, via at least one display strip, preferably at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal extent of the operator interface. An “output element” is to be understood as an element that is intended to output at least one heating power density. The output element is designed as an at least essentially strip-shaped output element. For example, the output unit of the operator interface could have a single, coherent output element that extends over at least substantially the entire longitudinal extent of the operator interface. In particular, the output unit of the operator interface has a plurality of output elements, each of which is provided for outputting the parameter. Preferably, each of the output elements has a longitudinal extension of the output element that is aligned at least substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the operator interface. In particular, the output elements are arranged adjacently with respect to the longitudinal extent of the operator interface. In particular, a series of output elements arranged adjacently with respect to the operator interface longitudinal extent extends over at least substantially the entire operator interface longitudinal extent of the operator interface. An “optical output element” should in particular include a light source, preferably an LED, and/or a display unit, in particular a backlit display unit, in particular a matrix display unit, preferably an LCD display, an OLED display and/or electronic paper (e-paper, e-paper). Ink), can be understood. At least two elements that are “adjacent” with respect to the longitudinal extent of the operator interface should be understood to mean, in particular, two elements that have a distance aligned at least substantially parallel to the operator interface longitudinal extent, wherein an amount of the distance is smaller than an extent of a respective one of the elements aligned at least substantially parallel to the operator interface longitudinal extent. A “longitudinal output element extension” of at least one output element is intended to mean, in particular, an extension of a long side of a smallest imaginary rectangle enclosing the output element. The expression that a series of output elements arranged adjacently with respect to the operator interface longitudinal extent extends over "at least substantially the entire operator interface longitudinal extent" is intended to mean in particular that the series of output elements arranged adjacently with respect to the operator interface longitudinal extent extends over more than 80%, in particular over extends more than 85%, advantageously over more than 90% and preferably over more than 93% of an amount of the operator interface longitudinal extent. In particular, a sum of amounts of a respective extension of a respective one of the output elements, which is aligned at least essentially parallel to the operator interface longitudinal extent, and of amounts of respective distances between respective output elements arranged adjacently with respect to the operator interface longitudinal extent, takes a value in a range between 80%, in particular between 85%, advantageously between 90%, preferably between 93%, and 100% of an amount of the operator interface longitudinal extent. An “operator interface longitudinal extent” of at least one operator interface is intended to mean, in particular, an extent of a long side of a smallest imaginary rectangle enclosing the operator interface. A “control unit” is to be understood in particular as an electronic unit which is preferably at least partially integrated in a control and/or regulating unit of a hob device and which is preferably intended to control and/or regulate at least the variable cooking surface area and the user interface . Preferably, the control unit comprises a computing unit and in particular, in addition to the computing unit, a storage unit with a control and/or regulation program stored therein, which is intended to be executed by the computing unit. A “strip-shaped” object is to be understood as meaning an object which, when viewing a projection of the strip-shaped object in at least one plane, has at least one longitudinal extension, the amount of which is more than 5 times, in particular more than 10 times and preferably more than 15 times is as large as an amount of transverse extension of the strip-shaped object. In particular, a quotient of the amount of longitudinal extension of the strip-shaped object and the amount of transverse extension of the strip-shaped object assumes a value in a range between 5 and 20. The strip-shaped object is advantageously an object in which there is a distance to which any points of the strip-shaped object at least have essentially the same distance, in particular at least essentially perpendicular to the route. In particular, the route has at least one curvature at any point on the route with a radius of more than 15%, in particular more than 30%, advantageously more than 50% and preferably more than 70% of an amount of a length of the route. A transverse extension of the strip-shaped object is advantageously designed to be twice the distance. In particular, a longitudinal extent of the strip-shaped object is designed as the length of the route. The expression that any points of the strip-shaped object have "at least essentially the same" distance from the route is intended to mean in particular that an amount of a distance of a first point and an amount of a distance of a second point differ by less than 10%, in particular by less than 5%, advantageously by less than 3% and preferably by less than 1%. The expression that a straight line and/or plane is aligned “at least substantially parallel” to a further straight line and/or plane formed separately from the one straight line and/or plane is intended to mean, in particular, that the straight line and/or Plane with the further straight line and / or plane encloses an angle that deviates from an angle of 0° by less than 5°, preferably by less than 3° and in particular by less than 1°. The expression that a straight line and/or plane is aligned “at least substantially perpendicular” to a further straight line and/or plane formed separately from the one straight line and/or plane is intended to mean in particular that the straight line and/or Plane with the further straight line and / or plane encloses an angle that deviates from an angle of 90 ° by less than 5 °, preferably by less than 3 ° and in particular by less than 1 °. The term “intended” is intended to mean, in particular, specifically programmed, designed and/or equipped.
A design according to the invention can advantageously achieve a high level of operating comfort for the hob device. A strip-shaped design of the user interface can advantageously achieve an easy-to-use user interface and thus an easy-to-use variable cooking surface area. Furthermore, a narrow user interface and thus a large, variable cooking surface area can advantageously be achieved. In addition, due to the use of simple, already known electronics in a design of the operator interface, a potentially cost-intensive TFT display, which could have additionally led to at least a restriction in terms of design, can be dispensed with.
Es wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass sich die Bedienerschnittstelle über zumindest im Wesentlichen eine gesamte Kochflächenlängserstreckung des variablen Kochflächenbereichs erstreckt. Und zwar erstreckt sich die Bedienerschnittstelle über mehr als 70 %, vorzugsweise über mehr als 80 % und insbesondere über mehr als 90 % der Kochflächenlängserstreckung des variablen Kochflächenbereichs. Unter einer "Kochflächenlängserstreckung" zumindest eines variablen Kochflächenbereichs soll insbesondere eine Erstreckung einer langen Seite eines kleinsten gedachten, den variablen Kochflächenbereich umschließenden Rechtecks verstanden werden. Insbesondere ist die Kochflächenlängserstreckung als eine Länge des variablen Kochflächenbereichs an einer in zumindest einem montierten, betriebsbereiten Zustand einem Bediener zugewandten Seite ausgebildet. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann vorteilhaft eine präzise, flexible und komfortable Bedienung des variablen Kochflächenbereichs erreicht werden.It is proposed according to the invention that the user interface extends over at least substantially an entire cooking surface longitudinal extent of the variable cooking surface area. Namely, the operator interface extends over more than 70%, preferably over more than 80% and in particular over more than 90% of the longitudinal length of the cooking surface of the variable cooking surface area. A “longitudinal cooking surface extension” of at least one variable cooking surface area is intended to mean, in particular, an extension of a long side of a smallest imaginary rectangle enclosing the variable cooking surface area. In particular, the cooking surface longitudinal extension is designed as a length of the variable cooking surface area on a side facing an operator in at least one assembled, operational state. Such a design advantageously enables precise, flexible and comfortable operation of the variable cooking surface area can be achieved.
Es wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen ist, sich in zumindest einem Betriebszustand an zumindest eine Gargeschirrkenngröße zumindest eines auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgestellten Gargeschirrs anzupassen. Die Bedienerschnittstelle ist dazu vorgesehen, in zumindest einem Betriebszustand zumindest einen Bedienerabschnitt in Abhängigkeit von der Gargeschirrkenngröße des auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgestellten Gargeschirrs zu generieren, insbesondere zu erzeugen. Insbesondere ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, in zumindest einem Betriebszustand für ein jeweiliges, auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgestelltes Gargeschirr einen separaten Bedienerabschnitt zu generieren. Vorteilhaft ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, in zumindest einem Betriebszustand den Bedienerabschnitt an die Gargeschirrkenngröße des auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgestellten Gargeschirrs anzupassen. Insbesondere ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, den Bedienerabschnitt an die von der Sensoreinheit des variablen Kochflächenbereichs erkannte Gargeschirrkenngröße anzupassen. Unter der Wendung, dass die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen ist, "Bedienerabschnitte zu generieren", soll verstanden werden, dass die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen ist, Bestandteile der Bedienerschnittstelle, und zwar der Eingabeeinheit und der Ausgabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle, zu einem Bedienerabschnitt zusammenzufassen. Vorzugsweise ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, zumindest einen, insbesondere zumindest zwei, vorteilhaft zumindest vier, vorzugsweise zumindest sechs und insbesondere zumindest acht Bedienerabschnitte zu generieren. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann vorteilhaft eine flexible Bedienerschnittstelle erreicht werden. Zudem kann durch eine an die Gargeschirrkenngröße angepasste Bedienerschnittstelle eine komfortable Bedienung erreicht werden.It is proposed according to the invention that the operator interface is provided to adapt in at least one operating state to at least one cooking utensil parameter of at least one cooking utensil set up on the variable cooking surface area. The operator interface is intended to generate, in particular to create, at least one operator section in at least one operating state depending on the cooking utensil parameter of the cooking utensil set up on the variable cooking surface area. In particular, the operator interface is intended to generate a separate operator section in at least one operating state for a respective cooking utensil set up on the variable cooking surface area. The operator interface is advantageously provided to adapt the operator section to the cooking utensil characteristic of the cooking utensil set up on the variable cooking surface area in at least one operating state. In particular, the operator interface is intended to adapt the operator section to the cooking utensil parameter recognized by the sensor unit of the variable cooking surface area. The phrase that the operator interface is intended to "generate operator sections" is intended to mean that the operator interface is intended to combine components of the operator interface, namely the input unit and the output unit of the operator interface, into an operator section. Preferably, the operator interface is intended to generate at least one, in particular at least two, advantageously at least four, preferably at least six and in particular at least eight operator sections. A flexible user interface can advantageously be achieved through such a design. In addition, convenient operation can be achieved through an operator interface that is adapted to the cooking utensil size.
Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedienerschnittelle dazu vorgesehen ist, in zumindest einem Betriebszustand zumindest eine Bedienerabschnittslängserstreckung zumindest eines Bedienerabschnitts an zumindest eine, insbesondere zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Bedienerschnittstellenlängserstreckung ausgerichtete Gargeschirrerstreckung des Gargeschirrs anzupassen. Insbesondere ist die Gargeschirrkenngröße als die, vorzugsweise parallel zu zumindest einer Frontkante des variablen Kochflächenbereichs ausgerichtete Gargeschirrerstreckung des Gargeschirrs ausgebildet. Alternativ könnte die Gargeschirrkenngröße zumindest als eine Form und/oder Fläche und/oder Größe des Gargeschirrs ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere ist die Bedienerschnittelle dazu vorgesehen, zumindest einem Großteil, vorzugsweise mehr als 90 %, insbesondere jedem, von auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgestellten Gargeschirren einen individuellen Bedienerabschnitt zuzuordnen. Insbesondere ist durch eine Ausgestaltung, vorzugsweise eine Anordnung, insbesondere eine Geometrie, der Bedienerschnittstelle die Bedienerschnittstelle in zumindest einer ersten Richtung festgelegt. Unter einem "Bedienerabschnitt" soll insbesondere ein Ausschnitt, vorzugsweise ein Teilbereich, der Bedienerschnittstelle verstanden werden. Insbesondere weist die Bedienerabschnittslängserstreckung einen Betrag kleiner oder gleich einem Betrag der Bedienerschnittstellenlängserstreckung der Bedienerschnittstelle auf. Vorzugsweise umfasst der Bedienerabschnitt zumindest ein Ausgabeelement, vorzugsweise mehrere Ausgabeelemente. Unter einer "Bedienerabschnittslängserstreckung" zumindest eines Bedienerabschnitts soll insbesondere eine Erstreckung einer langen Seite eines kleinsten gedachten, den Bedienerabschnitt umschließenden Rechtecks verstanden werden. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann vorteilhaft eine direkte, einfach zu erkennende Zuordnung des Bedienabschnitts zu dem Gargeschirr und damit eine geringe Verwechslungswahrscheinlichkeit erreicht werden.It is proposed that the operator interface is provided to adapt, in at least one operating state, at least one operator section longitudinal extension of at least one operator section to at least one cooking utensil extension of the cooking utensil, in particular at least essentially parallel to the operator interface longitudinal extension. In particular, the cooking utensil characteristic is designed as the cooking utensil extension of the cooking utensil, which is preferably aligned parallel to at least one front edge of the variable cooking surface area. Alternatively, the cooking utensil parameter could be designed at least as a shape and/or area and/or size of the cooking utensil. In particular, the operator interface is intended to assign an individual operator section to at least a large portion, preferably more than 90%, in particular to each, of the cooking utensils placed on the variable cooking surface area. In particular, the operator interface is fixed in at least a first direction by a configuration, preferably an arrangement, in particular a geometry, of the operator interface. An “operator section” is to be understood in particular as a section, preferably a partial area, of the operator interface. In particular, the operator section longitudinal extent has an amount smaller than or equal to an amount of the operator interface longitudinal extent of the operator interface. Preferably, the operator section comprises at least one output element, preferably several output elements. An “operator section longitudinal extent” of at least one operator section is intended to mean, in particular, an extension of a long side of a smallest imaginary rectangle enclosing the operator section. Such a configuration can advantageously achieve a direct, easy-to-recognize assignment of the operating section to the cooking utensil and thus a low probability of confusion.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedienerschnittelle dazu vorgesehen ist, in zumindest einem Betriebszustand zumindest eine Bedienerabschnittsposition zumindest eines Bedienerabschnitts an zumindest eine Position, insbesondere zumindest eines Gargeschirrmittelpunkts, des Gargeschirrs anzupassen. Insbesondere ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, in dem Betriebszustand dem Bedienerabschnitt ein dem Gargeschirrmittelpunkt des auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgestellten Gargeschirrs nächstgelegenes optisches, vorzugsweise zu einer numerischen Ausgabe vorgesehenes Ausgabeelement zuzuordnen. Vorteilhaft ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, in dem Betriebszustand dem Bedienerabschnitt einen der Position des auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgestellten Gargeschirrs entsprechenden Abschnitt der Bedienerschnittstelle zuzuordnen. Insbesondere ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, einen Bedienerabschnitt zuzuordnen, dessen Abmessungen durch zumindest eine Parallelprojektion des Gargeschirrs in einer zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu zumindest einer Frontkante des variablen Kochflächenbereichs ausgerichteten Richtung festgelegt sind. Insbesondere ist die Gargeschirrkenngröße als die Position des Gargeschirrs ausgebildet. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung können vorteilhaft eine Unterscheidung zweier Gargeschirre durch eine Bedienerabschnittsposition eines jeweiligen, dem jeweiligen Gargeschirr zugeordneten Bedienerabschnitts vorgenommen und damit eine einfache Bedienbarkeit erreicht werden.Furthermore, it is proposed that the operator interface is provided to adapt at least one operator section position of at least one operator section to at least one position, in particular at least one cooking utensil center point, of the cooking utensil in at least one operating state. In particular, the operator interface is intended to assign to the operator section in the operating state an optical output element, preferably provided for a numerical output, which is closest to the cooking utensil center of the cooking utensil set up on the variable cooking surface area. The operator interface is advantageously intended to assign to the operator section in the operating state a section of the operator interface corresponding to the position of the cooking utensils placed on the variable cooking surface area. In particular, the operator interface is intended to assign an operator section, the dimensions of which are determined by at least one parallel projection of the cooking utensil in a direction that is at least substantially perpendicular to at least one front edge of the variable cooking surface area. In particular, the cooking utensil parameter is designed as the position of the cooking utensil. With such a configuration, a distinction between two cooking utensils can advantageously be made by an operator section position of a respective operator section assigned to the respective cooking utensil, and thus simple operability can be achieved.
Zudem wird vorgeschlagen, dass eine Eingabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle zumindest teilweise als eine berührungsempfindliche Eingabeeinheit ausgebildet ist. Insbesondere ist die Eingabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle als zumindest ein Touch-Slider ausgebildet. Unter einer "berührungsempfindlichen" Eingabeeinheit soll insbesondere eine Einheit verstanden werden, die zumindest ein berührungsempfindliches Eingabeelement aufweist. Insbesondere ist das berührungsempfindliche Eingabeelement dazu vorgesehen, auf eine Berührung und/oder eine Annäherung durch einen Bediener, insbesondere eine Annäherung eines Körperteils eines Bedieners, beispielsweise eines Fingers, insbesondere innerhalb eines Abstands von maximal 10 cm, insbesondere maximal 3 cm, vorteilhaft maximal 1 cm, vorzugsweise maximal 0,5 cm, zu reagieren. Vorzugsweise reagiert das berührungsempfindliche Eingabeelement unabhängig von einer direkten Berührung und/oder Druckausübung, insbesondere durch eine Berührungsfläche hindurch, auf eine Annäherung. Insbesondere ist die Berührungsfläche als eine Glas- und/oder Kunststoffeinheit und/oder eine Kochfeldplatte ausgebildet. Unter der Wendung, dass eine Eingabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle "zumindest teilweise" als eine berührungsempfindliche Eingabeeinheit ausgebildet ist, soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass die Eingabeeinheit zumindest ein berührungsempfindliches Eingabemittel und zumindest ein weiteres Eingabemittel aufweist. Insbesondere ist das weitere Eingabemittel zumindest als ein akustisches Eingabemittel und/oder zumindest als ein mechanisches Eingabemittel ausgebildet. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann vorteilhaft eine einfache, schnelle und komfortable Eingabe mittels der Eingabeeinheit erreicht werden.In addition, it is proposed that an input unit of the operator interface is at least partially designed as a touch-sensitive input unit. In particular, the input unit of the operator interface is designed as at least one touch slider. A “touch-sensitive” input unit is intended to mean, in particular, a unit that has at least one touch-sensitive input element having. In particular, the touch-sensitive input element is intended to respond to a touch and/or an approach by an operator, in particular an approach of a body part of an operator, for example a finger, in particular within a distance of a maximum of 10 cm, in particular a maximum of 3 cm, advantageously a maximum of 1 cm , preferably a maximum of 0.5 cm, to react. Preferably, the touch-sensitive input element reacts to an approach independently of a direct touch and/or application of pressure, in particular through a contact surface. In particular, the contact surface is designed as a glass and/or plastic unit and/or a hob plate. The expression that an input unit of the user interface is “at least partially” designed as a touch-sensitive input unit is intended to mean in particular that the input unit has at least one touch-sensitive input means and at least one further input means. In particular, the further input means is designed at least as an acoustic input means and/or at least as a mechanical input means. With such a configuration, simple, quick and convenient input can advantageously be achieved using the input unit.
Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass eine Ausgabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle zumindest teilweise einstückig mit der Eingabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle ausgebildet ist. Unter der Wendung, dass eine Ausgabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle zumindest teilweise "einstückig" mit der Eingabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle ausgebildet ist, soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass bei Betrachtung zumindest einer Projektion der Eingabeeinheit und der Ausgabeeinheit in zumindest eine gemeinsame, vorzugsweise durch den variablen Kochflächenbereich aufgespannte Ebene die Eingabeeinheit und die Ausgabeeinheit zumindest teilweise überlagert sind.Furthermore, it is proposed that an output unit of the operator interface is at least partially designed in one piece with the input unit of the operator interface. The phrase that an output unit of the user interface is at least partially formed "in one piece" with the input unit of the user interface is intended to mean, in particular, that when considering at least one projection of the input unit and the output unit in at least one common plane, preferably spanned by the variable cooking surface area the input unit and the output unit are at least partially superimposed.
Insbesondere ist die Ausgabeeinheit bezüglich zumindest einer zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem variablen Kochflächenbereich ausgerichteten Vertikalrichtung zu der Eingabeeinheit benachbart angeordnet. Unter der Wendung, dass eine Ausgabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle "zumindest teilweise" einstückig mit der Eingabeeinheit der Bedienerschnittstelle ausgebildet ist, soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass die Ausgabeeinheit zumindest einen Ausgabeeinheitenteilbereich, der einstückig mit der Eingabeeinheit ausgebildet ist, aufweist und zumindest einen weiteren Ausgabeeinheitenteilbereich, der getrennt von der Eingabeeinheit angeordnet ist, aufweisen könnte. Insbesondere ist der weitere Ausgabeeinheitenteilbereich getrennt von dem einstückig mit der Eingabeeinheit ausgebildeten Ausgabeeinheitenteilbereich ausgebildet. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann vorteilhaft eine kompakte Bedienerschnittstelle erreicht und ein dadurch eingesparter Platz sinnvoll anderweitig verwendet werden.In particular, the output unit is arranged adjacent to the input unit with respect to at least one vertical direction that is at least substantially perpendicular to the variable cooking surface area. The phrase that an output unit of the operator interface is formed "at least partially" in one piece with the input unit of the operator interface is intended to mean, in particular, that the output unit has at least one output unit subregion, which is formed in one piece with the input unit, and at least one further output unit subregion, which is arranged separately from the input unit. In particular, the further output unit subregion is formed separately from the output unit subregion formed in one piece with the input unit. With such a design, a compact user interface can advantageously be achieved and the space saved as a result can be used sensibly for other purposes.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedienerschnittstelle zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zu einer Frontkante des variablen Kochflächenbereichs ausrichtet ist. Unter einer "Frontkante" des variablen Kochflächenbereichs soll insbesondere eine Kante verstanden werden, die in zumindest einem montierten, betriebsbereiten Zustand eine dem Bediener des variablen Kochflächenbereichs zugewandte Begrenzungslinie des variablen Kochflächenbereichs ausbildet. Insbesondere ist die Bedienerschnittstelle in einem Nahbereich der Frontkante angeordnet. Vorteilhaft ist die Bedienerschnittstelle bei einer Betrachtung, ausgehend von einem Bediener, vor der Frontkante angeordnet. Durch eine parallele Ausrichtung des variablen Kochflächenbereichs und der Bedienerschnittstelle kann vorteilhaft eine einfache, unkomplizierte Bedienung des variablen Kochflächenbereichs mittels der Bedienerschnittstelle erreicht werden.Furthermore, it is proposed that the operator interface is aligned at least substantially parallel to a front edge of the variable cooking surface area. A “front edge” of the variable cooking surface area is to be understood in particular as an edge which, in at least one assembled, operational state, forms a boundary line of the variable cooking surface area facing the operator of the variable cooking surface area. In particular, the operator interface is arranged in a close area of the front edge. The operator interface is advantageously arranged in front of the front edge when viewed from an operator. By aligning the variable cooking surface area and the user interface in parallel, simple, uncomplicated operation of the variable cooking surface area using the user interface can advantageously be achieved.
Zudem wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Kochfeldvorrichtung zumindest einen weiteren variablen Kochflächenbereich aufweist. Durch Bereitstellen von zumindest zwei variablen Kochflächenbereichen kann vorteilhaft eine hohe Flexibilität erreicht werden.It is also proposed that the hob device has at least one further variable cooking surface area. By providing at least two variable cooking surface areas, a high degree of flexibility can advantageously be achieved.
Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedienerschnittstelle zumindest zwei Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche aufweist, die jeweils einem der variablen Kochflächenbereiche zugeordnet sind. Insbesondere ist ein erster der Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche einem ersten der variablen Kochflächenbereiche und ein zweiter der Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche einem zweiten der variablen Kochflächenbereiche zugeordnet. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung können vorteilhaft eine hohe Flexibilität mittels einer getrennten Bedienbarkeit der variablen Kochflächenbereiche sowie ein hoher Bedienkomfort erreicht werden.Furthermore, it is proposed that the user interface has at least two user interface subareas, each of which is assigned to one of the variable cooking surface areas. In particular, a first of the user interface subareas is assigned to a first of the variable cooking surface areas and a second of the user interface subareas is assigned to a second of the variable cooking surface areas. Such a design can advantageously achieve a high level of flexibility by means of separate operability of the variable cooking surface areas as well as a high level of operating comfort.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen ist, in zumindest einem Betriebszustand die Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche und/oder die variablen Kochflächenbereiche zumindest teilweise miteinander zu verbinden. Insbesondere ist die Bedienerschnittstelle dazu vorgesehen, in dem Betriebszustand die Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche und/oder die variablen Kochflächenbereiche in Abhängigkeit von zumindest einer Eingabe mittels zumindest eines, vorzugsweise mittels beider der Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche, insbesondere mittels zumindest einer Wischbewegung über die zumindest zwei Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche, zumindest teilweise miteinander zu verbinden. Vorzugsweise ist die Bedienerschnittstelle in dem Betriebszustand dazu vorgesehen, die Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche und/oder die variablen Kochflächenbereiche automatisch, insbesondere aufgrund eines, sich in zumindest zwei variable Kochflächenbereiche erstreckenden Gargeschirrs, zumindest teilweise miteinander zu verbinden. Unter der Wendung, zumindest zwei Bereiche "zumindest teilweise miteinander verbinden", soll insbesondere verstanden werden, zumindest jeweils einen Bereichsabschnitt eines jeweiligen der Bereiche miteinander zu verbinden. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann vorteilhaft eine Kombination der Bedienerschnittstellenteilbereiche und/oder der variablen Kochflächenbereiche in einer einfachen Weise erreicht werden, wodurch eine hohe Flexibilität und ein hoher Bedienkomfort erreicht werden können.Furthermore, it is proposed that the operator interface is intended to at least partially connect the operator interface subareas and/or the variable cooking surface areas to one another in at least one operating state. In particular, the operator interface is intended to at least partially connect the operator interface subareas and/or the variable cooking surface areas to one another in the operating state depending on at least one input by means of at least one, preferably by means of both, of the operator interface subareas, in particular by means of at least one swiping movement over the at least two operator interface subareas . Preferably, in the operating state, the operator interface is provided to at least partially connect the operator interface subareas and/or the variable cooking surface areas to one another automatically, in particular due to a cooking utensil extending into at least two variable cooking surface areas. The phrase “at least partially connecting” at least two areas is intended to mean, in particular, at least one area section of a respective area to connect areas with each other. With such a configuration, a combination of the user interface subareas and/or the variable cooking surface areas can advantageously be achieved in a simple manner, whereby a high level of flexibility and a high level of operating comfort can be achieved.

In einem nicht erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zu einem Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Kochfeldvorrichtung 10a wird in einem ersten Verfahrensschritt mittels der Eingabeeinheit 26a der variable Kochflächenbereich 12a aktiviert. In einem weiteren Verfahrensschritt wird wenigstens ein Gargeschirr 18a', 18a", 18a"', 18a"" auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich 12a aufgestellt. Eine Sensoreinheit (nicht dargestellt) des variablen Kochflächenbereichs 12a ermittelt eine jeweilige Gargeschirrerstreckung 24a', 24a", 24a"', 24a"" sowie eine Position des auf dem variablen Kochflächenbereich 12a aufgestellten Gargeschirrs 18a', 18a", 18a"', 18a"".
