  • the first embodiment of the invention can provide the heating cooker including an operation unit that enables a user to finely and easily change a setting level related to heating by only sliding a finger without repeating an operation a number of times, that enables a user to correctly adjust a setting level even if the user does not know which setting level is achieved by operating what position, that is inexpensive and convenient, and that achieves simple and clear display.
  • the first operation is preferably performed at start of heating, detection of an operation position is made effective only in a partial range of the operation position detecting means, and wherein when a slide operation is continuously performed without separating the finger from the first operation at start of heating, detection of a movement distance of the finger is made effective in a range wider than the partial range of the operation position detecting means.
  • a movement distance may be detected when the user slides the finger in either of both directions along the operation position detecting means. This is convenient since the setting level can be either increased or decreased.

  • the distance of sliding of the finger is longer than the predetermined value, it is considered that the user has an intention to hurriedly decrease the setting level, and the setting heating power and the setting temperature may immediately significantly be reduced.
  • a guide display indicative of a setting level is disposed at only one position except the vicinities of end portions of the operation position detecting means.
  • the operation position corresponding to the target setting level can easily be estimated at the time of a first operation. Therefore, since an adjustment can be made from the setting level after the appropriately started operation, the time until determination of the setting level may be shortened. Additionally, complicated display may be prevented on the operation position detection means.

  • the operation/display unit 6 of the heating cooker 5 is disposed at a front end in the front-back direction of the upper surface of the heating cooker 5.
  • Fig. 2 is a diagram of a flow of operation/display at the time of heating power setting in the heating cooker according to the first embodiment.
  • description will be made of the case of setting the heating power having 18 levels of setting values from “1”, “1.”, “2”, “2.”, “3”,... to “ 8", “8.”, “9", and “9.”
  • “1.” means an intermediate level between “1” and “2”.
  • the entire length of the operation position detecting means 1 is divided into 18 portions and the heating powers "1" to "9.” are respectively assigned to the divided portions.
  • Fig. 2(a) depicts a first operation of the heating power setting at the start of heating.
  • the operation position detecting means 1 detects the operation position and the first setting level displaying means 2 displays a setting value "5" assigned in advance in accordance with the operation position. Subsequently, the user separately gives an instruction for heating start, the heating is started at the heating power setting value "5".
  • the first operation of heating power setting at the start of heating may be a first heating power setting operation after giving the instruction for heating start.
  • an initial heating power at the start of heating may tentatively be set and the operation as described above may be allowed to be performed only for the heating power setting operated first during a predetermined time after the heating start.
  • Actual heating may be started immediately after giving the instruction for heating start or immediately after performing the first heating power setting operation within the predetermined time. If the first heating power setting operation is not performed within the predetermined time, the heating may be started after a certain time has elapsed.
  • Figs. 2(b) and 2(c) depict an operation after the start of heating. As depicted in Fig. 2(b) , it is assumed that the user's finger 10 is placed at an arbitrary position on the operation position detecting means 1. At this time point, the display of the first setting level displaying means 2 does not change from "5".
  • the slide distance depicted in Fig. 2 (c) is a distance changing the heating power setting level by 2.5 and it is preliminarily determined that the slide operation to the right increases the heating power setting level.
  • Fig. 3 is a diagram of a flow of operation/display at the time of setting a timer time in the heating cooker according to the first embodiment.
  • the timer time can be set that has 100 levels of setting values from" 0" minutes, "1" minute, “2" minutes,... to "98” minutes, and "99” minutes.

  • the operation position detecting means 1 detects the operation position and the first setting level displaying means 2 displays a setting value of "50" minutes assigned in advance in accordance with the operation position.
  • Figs. 3(b) and 3(c) depict an operation after the start of the timer operation. As depicted in Fig. 3(b) , it is assumed that the user's finger 10 is placed at an arbitrary position on the operation position detecting means 1.

  • an operation position corresponding to a target value can roughly be comprehended from visual information of an operation range at the time of the first operation, which enables a quick operation.
  • a gap from the target value can be readjusted without being affected by the absolute position of the operation. Since the setting level can easily be changed by only sliding a finger without performing an operation a number of times, this is convenient for a user. Moreover, even if a correct absolute position is not known in terms of which setting level is achieved by operating what position, the setting level can finely be adjusted after operating an approximate position.
  • a setting value change amount relative to a slide distance per unit distance of the operation position detecting means 1 at the time of adjustment of the setting value through the slide operation after the start of heating may be made smaller than a difference in the setting value per unit distance of the setting value assigned in advance to the operation position of the operation position detecting means 1.
  • the operation position detecting means 1 depicted in Fig. 3 is operated at the position depicted in Fig. 3(a) at time of the first operation at the start of the timer operation, "50" minutes are displayed. If it is assumed that "75" minutes are displayed when the position depicted in Fig. 3(b) is first operated, a difference between both is 25 minutes.
  • a configuration of the operation/display unit of the heating cooker 5 according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as the heating cooker 5 according to the first embodiment and, therefore, a difference between both will hereinafter mainly be described.
  • the detection of the operation position is made effective only in a partial range of the operation position detecting means 1 when the first operation is performed at the start of heating, at the start of the timer operation, etc. Subsequently, if a slide operation is performed without separating the finger 10, the effective range of detection of the operation position detecting means 1 is made wider. For example, the detection of the operation position is made effective in the entire range of the operation position detecting means 1 to measure the movement distance of the finger 10.
  • Fig. 4 depicts an operation of such a case and depicts the operation of setting the timer time having 100 levels of setting values from "0" minutes, "1" minute, "2" minutes,... to "98" minutes, and "99” minutes by way of example.
  • Fig. 4(a) depicts the first operation at the start of the timer operation.
  • the detection of the operation position is made effective only in a partial range of the operation position detecting means 1 and, by way of example, the operation is effective within the positions of the effective range depicted in Fig. 4(a) not reaching the both end potions from the center thereof.
  • the entire length of the operation position detecting means 1 has the effective range divided into 10 portions and 10 minutes of time are assigned to each of the divided portions.
  • the operation position detecting means 1 detects the operation position and the first setting level displaying means 2 displays the setting value of "90" minutes assigned in advance in accordance with the operation position.
  • a fine adjustment enabled mode is achieved.
  • the change amount of the setting value corresponding to the movement distance of the finger 10 is set at the density lower than the density of the divided setting values at the time of the first operation. Therefore, the numeric value of the first setting level displaying means 2 slowly changes depending on the movement distance from the first operation position.
  • Fig. 4(b) depicts an operation when the user slides the finger 10 operated in the state depicted in Fig. 4(a) to a position beyond the right end portion of the effective range in Fig. 4(a) while the finger is kept in contact with the operation position detecting means 1 without separating the finger.
  • the detection of the operation position detecting means 1 is made effective in the entire range.
  • the entire range may not particularly be displayed.
  • the time displayed on the first setting level displaying means 2 is changed from "90" minutes to "99" minutes in accordance with the distance and direction of the slide operation.
  • the detection is effective in the entire range of the operation position detecting means 1 from the time of the first operation. If the vicinity of the left end or right end portion of the operation position detecting means 1 is first operated in such a situation and a slide operation is attempted directly from the first operation without separating the finger 10, the detection is terminated in the fine adjustment enabled mode before reaching the minimum or maximum setting level even when the finger 10 is further slid to the left or right. Therefore, a fine adjustment of changing the setting level can be made only in one direction in the vicinity of the left end or right end portion of the operation position detecting means 1. This is because the change amount of the setting value corresponding to the movement distance of the finger 10 is set in the fine adjustment enabled mode at the density lower than the density of the divided setting values at the time of the first operation.
  • the effective range of the operation position detecting means 1 is expanded if the slide operation is performed without separating the finger 10 from the time of the first operation, and is set to the narrow range of the time of the first operation if the slide operation is performed after the finger 10 is once separated and then brought into contact again.

  • the change amount of the setting value corresponding to the movement distance of the finger is set in the fine adjustment enabled mode at the density lower than the density of the divided setting values at the time of the first operation in this embodiment, the effective range of the operation is provided wider at the time of fine adjustment as compared to the time of the first operation and, therefore, a value can sufficiently conveniently be set in the vicinity of the left end or right end portion of the operation position detecting means 1 in the fine adjustment enabled mode.
  • a configuration of the operation/display unit of the heating cooker 5 according to the third embodiment is substantially the same as the heating cooker 5 according to the first embodiment and, therefore, a difference between both will hereinafter mainly be described.
  • a decrease amount of the level of the setting parameter corresponding to a distance is larger than an increase amount of the level of the setting parameter corresponding to a distance when the finger 10 is slid along the operation position detecting means 1 in the direction of increasing the level of the setting parameter displayed by the first setting level displaying means 2.
  • Figs. 5A and 5B are diagrams of the operation described above.

  • the level decrease amount is decreased by -2 in accordance with the slide distance.
  • this embodiment enables the user to immediately reduce the heating power to deal therewith.

While the movement distance D of sliding of the finger 10 is less than the first predetermined value C, the setting value "50" displayed in Fig. 9B is continuously displayed and, when the user separates the finger 10 at this position, the setting value "50" assigned in advance is displayed without change in accordance with the position initially touched by the finger 10 on the first setting level displaying means 2 and is fixed as the setting level.
  • the change amount corresponding to the movement distance D is "20" and the first setting level displaying means 2 displays “70", which is the sum of the original setting value "50" and the change amount "20". If the user separates the finger 10 from the operation position detecting means 1 in this state, "70" displayed on the first setting level displaying means 2 is fixed as the setting level.
  • the heating cooker of this embodiment has the timer time set to "70” minutes and operates such that, for example, if heating is started, the heating is automatically stopped after 70 minutes.
  • the change amount is a change amount in the increasing direction since the finger 10 is slid to the right in the example depicted in Fig. 9 , if the finger 10 is inversely slid to the left, the change amount is a change amount in the decreasing direction, i.e., a negative change amount and, therefore, the setting level decreases.
  • the timer time setting depicted in Fig. 9 has 100 setting levels, which are extremely larger than the 9 setting levels of the heating power setting depicted in Fig. 8 . Therefore, the operation position detecting means 1 depicted in Fig. 9 must be set such that the change amount corresponding to the movement distance D becomes larger when the finger 10 is slid. If the number of setting levels is extremely large as in the case of the timer time setting, the relation between the movement distance D and the change amount may be, for example, a nonlinear relation like a logarithmic function rather than a linear relation.
  • a movement speed of the finger 10 may be detected to set a smaller rate of change in the change amount associated with an increase/decrease amount of the movement distance D when the movement speed is slower and set a larger rate of change in the change amount associated with an increase/decrease amount of the movement distance D when the movement speed is faster.
  • the movement of the finger 10 can be made slower to make a fine adjustment of the slowly changing setting level and, when it is desired to largely change the setting level, the movement of the finger 10 can be made faster to roughly adjust the largely changing setting level and the movement speed of the finger 10 can be reduced near the desired setting level to directly simply making a fine adjustment as well.
  • the setting level of the setting parameter displayed on the first setting level displaying means is changed depending on the distance and movement direction of sliding along the operation position detecting means by using as a base point the position at which the distance of sliding of the user's finger becomes equal to or larger than the first predetermined value.
  • the first setting level displaying means displays nothing such as during a standby state
  • the setting level of the setting parameter uniquely determined depending on a position of the operation position detecting means touched by the user with a finger is displayed on the first setting level displaying means and, when the slide operation is performed from this time point without separating the finger, the setting level can be changed, and a setting level determined by roughly operating the absolute position at the time of initial setting of the setting parameter can further finely be adjusted through the slide operation to match the desired setting level, so that the setting level can easily and accurately be set in a wide range by one operation.
  • the setting parameter to be set may be differentiated between when the movement distance D of sliding of the finger 10 along the operation position detecting means 1 is less than the first predetermined value C and when the distance is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value C.
  • the level setting of heating power may be assigned out of a plurality of the setting parameters to the absolute position input operation in which the first setting level displaying means 2 displays the setting level of the setting parameter uniquely determined depending on an operated position
  • the changing of the setting level of the timer time may be assigned out of a plurality of the setting parameters to the operation of determining a change amount of the setting parameter depending on movement distance and direction of sliding.
  • a setting parameter having a smaller number of setting levels like, for example, the heating power setting can quickly be set by touching a position corresponding to a desired setting level with the finger 10 in accordance with the absolute position thereof, and a setting parameter having a large number of setting levels like, for example, the timer time setting, can be operated by determining a change amount of the setting parameter depending on the movement distance and direction of the slide operation of the finger 10. Since a plurality of setting parameters can be set depending on a difference in the operation method through the one operation position detecting means 1, this eliminates the need for an operation of selecting the setting parameter to be operated by using a liquid crystal panel etc. Therefore, a simple operation mechanism can inexpensively be configured.
  • a configuration of the operation/display unit of the heating cooker 5 according to the seventh embodiment is substantially the same as the heating cooker 5 according to the first embodiment and, therefore, a difference between both will hereinafter mainly be described.
  • Fig. 10 is a diagram of a flow of operation and display when a setting level of the timer time is changed through a slide operation to the operation position detecting means 1 in the heating cooker according to the seventh embodiment.
  • the setting parameter has 100 setting levels from “1" to "100”.
  • the entire length of the operation position detecting means 1 is divided into 10 portions and 10 minutes of time are assigned to each of the divided portions.
  • the operation position detecting means 1 depicted in Fig. 10 has guide display of timer time that is a setting level assigned in advance to each of the divided portions for easier understanding.
  • the guide display may be displayed only when a large number of setting levels exists as in the time of setting the timer time.
  • the guide display may be switched to appropriate display depending on a setting parameter to be operated. Even when the guide display corresponding to each of the setting parameters is always displayed in the vicinity of the operation position detecting means 1, this acts as a guide for inputting the setting level of the setting parameter uniquely determined depending on a position of operation and a user's input work can be assisted.
  • Fig. 10A depicts the display of the first setting level displaying means 2 when the display position of the guide display of "80" is operated on the operation position detecting means 1.
  • the setting level of the timer time is fixed to "80" minutes by separating the finger 10 after this operation and "80" is displayed on the first setting level displaying means 2.
  • Fig. 10B depicts the display of the first setting level displaying means 2 when the display position of the guide display of "50" is subsequently operated on the operation position detecting means 1.
  • the setting level of the timer time is fixed to "50” minutes by separating the finger 10 after this operation and "50” is displayed on the first setting level displaying means 2.
  • the setting level is assigned to the operation position of the operation position detecting means 1 such that when the finger 10 is slid along the operation position detecting means 1 from one arbitrary point to another point on the operation position detecting means 1, a change amount of the setting value of the setting parameter is made smaller than a difference in the setting parameter uniquely determined depending on an operated position between the setting level assigned to the one point and the setting level assigned to the other point.
  • the direction of the slide operation is the decreasing direction
  • a fine adjustment can be made in the decreasing direction of the setting level as is the case with the increasing direction.
  • the base point of the slide operation is a point corresponding to the numeric number displayed on the first setting level displaying means 2 other than "50”
  • the setting level can finely be adjusted from the displayed value corresponding to the base point depending on the movement distance of the slide operation.
  • Fig. 11 is a schematic of an example of the operation unit and the display unit two-dimensionally arranged in the heating cooker.
  • the operation position detecting means 1 is disposed in a belt shape in line and detects a one-dimensional position in a predetermined direction operated by the user's finger 10, while a two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 depicted in Fig. 11 is disposed on a region surface formed by one plane surface or curved surface and detects a two-dimensional position on the region surface operated by the user's finger 10.
  • the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 detects a two-dimensional position to detect two setting parameters at the same time and can detect a leftward/rightward setting parameter and a forward/backward setting parameter in this example.
  • the center of the left end of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 is marked with a minus sign for indicating a direction of decreasing the setting level of the leftward/rightward setting parameter, and the center of the right end of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 is marked with a plus sign for indicating a direction of increasing the setting level of the leftward/rightward setting parameter.
  • the center of the front end of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 is marked with a minus sign for indicating a direction of decreasing the setting level of forward/backward setting parameter
  • the center of the back end of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 is marked with a plus sign for indicating a direction of increasing the setting level of the forward/backward setting parameter.
  • a configuration for detecting a two-dimensional position in the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 may be those detecting a position from distribution of magnitude of individual input levels with a plurality of electrostatic input units arranged in a matrix shape or those acquiring an input value with a contact or electrostatic two-dimensional touch panel.
  • a second setting level displaying means 2a is included that displays a setting level of a plurality of setting parameters such as a heating power setting value, a time, and a temperature.
  • a square frame is set outside the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 and a region surface capable of detecting a two-dimensional position is located inside the frame.
  • the leftward/rightward setting parameter of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 corresponds to the setting level of the heating power setting
  • the forward/backward setting parameter corresponds to the setting level of the timer time.
  • the downward direction indicates the "forward direction”
  • the upward direction indicates the "backward direction”.
  • the setting level of the heating power setting has, for example, nine setting values from “1", “2", “3”,... to “8", and "9".
  • the entire length between left and right of the region surface of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 is divided into nine portions and the heating powers "1" to "9" are respectively assigned to the divided portions.
  • the second setting level displaying means 2a displays a setting value assigned in advance in accordance with the operation position (in Fig. 11 , the setting value "6").
  • the setting value is determined at any positions on the region surface from a position for the leftward/rightward setting parameter corresponding to the heating power setting.
  • the setting level of the heating power setting is fixed to and input as "6". Therefore, when the movement distance of sliding of the finger 10 is less than the second predetermined value in the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 of this embodiment, one-dimensional input is performed only for the leftward/rightward setting parameter.
  • the leftward/rightward setting parameter and the forward/backward setting parameter may correspond to respective different setting levels, and the same effect can be produced regardless of which setting parameter is only input when the movement distance is less than the second predetermined value.
  • the second setting level displaying means 2a displays the setting level of the setting parameter corresponding to a direction of sliding of the finger 10 having a larger movement amount between a movement amount in the direction corresponding to one setting parameter and a movement amount in the direction corresponding to the other setting parameter orthogonally crossing therewith, and a value of the setting level is changed and displayed depending on the movement distance and the movement direction of the finger 10.
  • the user's finger 10 first touches the position of the slide start point 15 and moves to a slide via-point 17 along a locus indicated by a thick dotted line (of Fig. 11 ) without separating the finger 10 from the region surface and that the movement distance is already equal to or greater than the second predetermined value when the slide via-point 17 is reached.
  • the movement distance may be measured as a linear distance between the slide start point 15 and the position currently touched by the finger 10, i.e., the slide via-point 17, or may be measured as a distance along the locus. It is assumed that the positional relation between the slide start point 15 and the slide via-point 17 represents rightward movement of a distance Xm in the left-right direction and backward movement of a distance Ym in the front-back direction.
  • a thin dotted line indicates a movement distance equal amount line 18 on which the movement distances become equal between the rightward direction and the backward direction when the slide start point 15 is defined as the base point in the case of movement in the direction of increasing both the forward/backward and leftward/rightward setting levels.
  • the setting level of the heating power is displayed on the second setting level displaying means 2a depending on the rightward movement having a longer movement distance.
  • a change amount "+1" corresponding to the movement distance Xm is applied to the displayed heating power setting level, and "6" acquired by adding the change amount "+1" to the original heating power setting level "5" is displayed on the second setting level displaying means 2a. If the finger 10 is separated in this state, the heating power setting level is changed in accordance with the displayed heating power setting level "6".
  • the finger 10 is further continuously moved to the position of a slide end point 16 without separating the finger 10 at the slide via-point 17.
  • a locus indicated by the thick dotted line moves across the movement distance equal amount line 18 from the lower right region to an upper left region, a backward movement distance becomes longer than a rightward movement distance and, therefore, the display of the second setting level displaying means 2a changes from the setting level "6" of the heating power that is the leftward/rightward setting parameter displayed up to this point, to the display indicative of the setting level of the timer time that is the forward/backward setting parameter, for example, "30".
  • the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 two-dimensionally detects an operation on the region surface.
  • the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 enables selective operation of two setting parameters through one operation and, therefore, a plurality of setting parameters can be input through an intuitive simple operation.
  • the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 performs one-dimensional input using only the leftward/rightward setting parameter.
  • the one-dimensional input may be performed for the other setting parameter arranged in the front-back direction or another direction and the input may be performed for any setting level uniquely determined depending on a position in a predetermined one direction.
  • the predetermined one direction may be determined depending on a position at which the operated position is located and, for example, the setting parameter having a displayed scale position closer to the operated position may be operated.
  • scales may be crossed at the respective singular points of a plurality of the setting parameters.
  • the singular points of the respective setting parameters are a lowest heating power level "1" of the heating power and "0" of the timer time (i.e., at the time of setting without timer time). Since the position of the heating power "1" is the left end and the position of the timer time "0" is the front end, when the scales are crossed at the respective singular points, the scale of the left-right axis and the scale of the front-back axis are positioned at the front end and the left end, respectively, and are crossed with each other at a position in a left front corner portion.
  • regions of positions closer to the respective scales can be divided by a straight line connecting the left front corner portion and a right back corner portion such that the right front region relative to the straight line can be set to a setting region of the heating power that is the left-right setting parameter, while the left back region relative to the straight line can be set to a setting region of the timer time that is the front-back setting parameter.
  • the shape of the combined scale is an L-shape.
  • the shape of scales crossing each other at the singular points is a T-shape. If both of the two setting parameters have the singular points at positions other than the end portions, the shape is a cross shape.
  • the heating cooker of this example has the two-dimensional operation position detecting means two-dimensionally disposed and detecting a position operated by a user's finger and the second setting level displaying means displaying each of the setting levels of a plurality of the setting parameters including at least the heating power and, if the second setting level displaying means displays at least one setting level of a plurality of the setting parameters and the distance of sliding of the user's finger within the range of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means is less than the second predetermined value, the heating cooker displays on the second setting level displaying means the setting level uniquely determined depending on a position in an operated predetermined one direction of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means, so as to display the setting level of the setting parameter corresponding to a direction of sliding of the user's finger within the range of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means having a larger movement amount between a movement amount in the predetermined one direction and a movement amount in the other direction orthogonally crossing the predetermined one direction and to change the displayed setting level depending on the movement distance and the movement direction
  • a plurality of the setting parameters can selectively be set and changed depending on an operation direction in the operation of the two-dimensionally disposed two-dimensional operation position detecting means.
  • a configuration of the operation/display unit of the heating cooker 5 according to the ninth embodiment is substantially the same as the heating cooker 5 according to the first embodiment and, therefore, a difference between both will hereinafter mainly be described.
  • the heating cooker 5 is disposed with guide display indicative of the setting level at least at only one position on the operation position detecting means 1.
  • guide display 3 is disposed at one position at the center of the operation position detecting means 1 and indicates that "5", "50 minutes”, and "180 °C" are set in the case of setting the heating power, the timer time, and the temperature, respectively.
  • the guide display 3 may be disposed in the vicinity of the two-dimensional operation position detecting means 4 depicted in Fig. 10 .
  • the heating cooker 5 has the guide display indicative of the setting level disposed at only one position on the operation position detecting means 1.
  • the reason why the one guide display 3 is sufficient (works) is that the embodiments according to this disclosure only require display of an approximate position of a rough setting value at the first operation. In other words, the reason is that it is not necessary to indicate a highly accurate and correct absolute position from the start. This is because a user can subsequently make a fine adjustment through a slide operation while viewing the display of the first setting level displaying means 2.
  • a value displayed as the guide display 3 is preferably a setting value highly frequently used in general.
  • the heating power "5" is the setting for medium heating power suitable for starting heating and the temperature "180 °C" is the most frequently used temperature for cooking of fried food or grilled food.
  • a control unit (not depicted) of the heating cooker 5 may provide control such that the heating cooker 5 starts heating output in accordance with the level of the setting parameter displayed by the first setting level displaying means 2 when the user separates the finger from the operation position detecting means 1. This enables the user to easily start heating with desired setting while viewing the display of the first setting level displaying means 2. For example, since the setting value is not fixed as long as the slide operation is continued even if the display of the setting level exceeds a target value, the user can perform the slide operation at ease.
  • the heating cooker according to this disclosure allows a user to quickly and accurately set the setting parameter such as heating power and temperature
  • the present invention is widely applicable to general devices to which a user inputs a setting value.
