The installation unit could have at least one cooking utensil element, for example. Alternatively or additionally, the positioning unit could have at least one base unit, which could be provided in particular for positioning at least one cooking utensil element, in particular the cooking utensil element. For example, in the heating operating state, the underlay unit could be provided in an arrangement between a cookware element of the positioning unit that is to be heated and the cover plate. In particular, objects of the installation unit, such as an operating unit and/or a control unit and/or a sensor unit and/or a transmission unit, could be integrated at least partially and advantageously at least to a large extent in the base unit. A "underlay unit" is to be understood in particular as a unit which is intended in particular for use with the hob and in particular for laying on, in particular for placing and/or positioning, on the cover plate and in particular for setting up at least one cooking utensil element . In particular, the base unit forms a base for the heated cooking utensil element in the heating operating state.

Unter "wenigstens zu einem Großteil" soll insbesondere zu einem Anteil, insbesondere einem Massenanteil und/oder Volumenanteil, von mindestens 70 %, insbesondere von mindestens 80 %, vorteilhaft von mindestens 90 % und vorzugsweise von mindestens 95 % verstanden werden.As an alternative, in particular to the configuration in which the installation unit has at least one base unit and in particular at least one cooking utensil element, the installation unit could have at least one housing unit, for example, which could be designed in particular as an outer housing unit and in particular could form at least a large part of an outer housing of the installation unit.

Unter einer "Identifikationseinheit" soll insbesondere eine Einheit verstanden werden, welche dazu vorgesehen ist, wenigstens ein Identifikationssignal bereitzustellen und insbesondere in zumindest einem Betriebszustand, insbesondere einem Startbetriebszustand und/oder dem Heizbetriebszustand, insbesondere mittels des Identifikationssignals wenigstens ein Objekt, insbesondere zumindest den Teil der Aufstelleinheit, vorteilhaft die Unterlegeinheit und/oder die Gehäuseeinheit und/oder das Kochgeschirrelement, und/oder zumindest ein weiteres Identifikationsobjekt, zu identifizieren. Vorteilhaft ist die Identifikationseinheit zu einer simultanen Identifikation der Unterlegeinheit und wenigstens eines weiteren Identifikationsobjekts vorgesehen.An "identification unit" is to be understood in particular as a unit which is intended to provide at least one identification signal and in particular in at least one operating state, in particular a starting operating state and/or the heating operating state, in particular by means of the identification signal at least one object, in particular at least part of the Installation unit, advantageously to identify the base unit and/or the housing unit and/or the cooking utensil element and/or at least one further identification object. The identification unit is advantageously provided for a simultaneous identification of the underlying unit and at least one further identification object.

Insbesondere weist das Identifikationssignal einen zu der zugeordneten Identität korrespondierenden Signalparameter, beispielsweise eine Frequenz, eine Wiederholrate, eine Pulsform und/oder eine Intensität, auf. Die Identifikationseinheit ist dazu vorgesehen, jedem zu identifizierenden Objekt eine individuelle Identität zuzuordnen, vorteilhaft ein zumindest in einem Signalparameter verschiedenes Identifikationssignal. Zwar kann eine dem Teil der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere einer Unterlegeinheit und/oder der Gehäuseeinheit, und/oder dem weiteren Identifikationsobjekt zugewiesene Identität nach einem Zeitintervall, in welchem der Teil der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere die Unterlegeinheit und/oder die Gehäuseeinheit, und/oder das weitere Identifikationsobjekt in einem betriebslosen Zustand und/oder in einem Abstand zu dem Kochfeld angeordnet ist, erlöschen, bevorzugt können Identitäten jedoch von zumindest eines Teils der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere zumindest einer Unterlegeinheit und/oder zumindest einer Gehäuseeinheit, insbesondere in einer Steuereinheit und/oder Speichereinheit des Kochfelds, insbesondere für eine komfortable Wiederverwendung gespeichert werden. Ferner kann die Identifikationseinheit vorteilhaft zu einer Anzeige eines Identifikationsstatus' zumindest teilweise mit einer Steuereinheit und/oder einer Anzeigeeinheit des Kochsystems, vorteilhaft des Kochfelds, verbunden sein. Vorteilhaft kann zumindest die Unterlegeinheit zumindest eine weitere Anzeigeeinheit zur Anzeige des Identifikationsstatus aufweisen. Vorteilhaft kann die Identifikationseinheit zusätzlich zu einer Kommunikation mit der Unterlegeinheit und/oder dem weiteren Identifikationsobjekt vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere soll unter einer "simultanen" Identifikation der Unterlegeinheit und des weiteren Identifikationsobjekts verstanden werden, dass die Identifikationseinheit der Unterlegeinheit und dem weiteren Identifikationsobjekt zeitgleich jeweils eine voneinander verschiedene Identität zuordnet und die Unterlegeinheit und das weitere Identifikationsobjekt zeitgleich identifiziert. Vorzugsweise ist die dem weiteren Identifikationsobjekt zugeordnete Identität mit einer Identität der Unterlegeinheit verbunden, insbesondere ist ein zu der Identität des weiteren Identifikationsobjekts zugeordnetes Identifikationssignal mit einem der Unterlegeinheit zugeordneten Identifikationssignal überlagert. Unter "vorgesehen" soll insbesondere speziell programmiert, ausgelegt und/oder ausgestattet verstanden werden. Darunter, dass ein Objekt zu einer bestimmten Funktion vorgesehen ist, soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass das Objekt diese bestimmte Funktion in zumindest einem Anwendungs- und/oder Betriebszustand erfüllt und/oder ausführt.In particular, the identification signal has a signal parameter that corresponds to the assigned identity, for example a frequency, a repetition rate, a pulse shape and/or an intensity. The identification unit is intended to assign an individual identity to each object to be identified, advantageously an identification signal that differs in at least one signal parameter. An identity assigned to the part of the set-up unit, in particular a base unit and/or the housing unit, and/or the further identification object, after a time interval in which the part of the set-up unit, in particular the base unit and/or the housing unit, and/or the further identification object is in an inoperative state and/or arranged at a distance from the hob, can be lost, but preferably identities can be saved from at least part of the installation unit, in particular at least one support unit and/or at least one housing unit, in particular in a control unit and/or memory unit of the Hob, especially for convenient reuse. Furthermore, the identification unit can advantageously be at least partially connected to a control unit and/or a display unit of the cooking system, advantageously of the cooktop, to display an identification status. At least the secondary unit can advantageously have at least one further display unit for displaying the identification status. The identification unit can advantageously be provided in addition to communication with the subordinate unit and/or the further identification object. In particular, a "simultaneous" identification of the underlying unit and the further identification object is to be understood as meaning that the identification unit of the underlying unit and the further identification object are identified at the same time each assigns a mutually different identity and identifies the underlying unit and the further identification object at the same time. The identity assigned to the further identification object is preferably linked to an identity of the underlying unit, in particular an identification signal assigned to the identity of the further identification object is overlaid with an identification signal assigned to the underlying unit. “Provided” should be understood to mean, in particular, specially programmed, designed and/or equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function is to be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and/or executes this specific function in at least one application and/or operating state.

Gemäß der Erfindung umfasst die Identifikationseinheit die Induktionsheizeinheit zumindest teilweise. Darunter, dass die "die Identifikationseinheit die Induktionsheizeinheit zumindest teilweise umfasst" soll in diesem Zusammenhang verstanden werden, dass die Induktionsheizeinheit zumindest bereichsweise und/oder abschnittsweise Teil der Identifikationseinheit ist. Vorzugsweise bildet die Induktionsheizeinheit vollständig die Identifikationseinheit aus. Besonders bevorzugt wird das Identifikationssignal in diesem Fall durch Induktionsheizelemente bereitgestellt. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine bauraumsparende Identifikationseinheit bereitgestellt und Material und Herstellungskosten reduziert werden.According to the invention, the identification unit comprises the induction heating unit at least partially. In this context, “the identification unit at least partially includes the induction heating unit” should be understood to mean that the induction heating unit is at least partially and/or partially part of the identification unit. The induction heating unit preferably completely forms the identification unit. In this case, the identification signal is particularly preferably provided by induction heating elements. In this way, in particular, a space-saving identification unit can be provided and material and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

Um vorteilhaft eine Anwendungsflexibilität und ferner insbesondere eine Betriebssicherheit zu erhöhen, ist die Identifikationseinheit zu einer Identifikation zumindest des Teils der Aufstelleinheit in Abhängigkeit von einem Signal der Aufstelleinheit vorgesehen. Die Identifikationseinheit ist zu einer simultanen Identifikation der Unterlegeinheit und des weiteren Identifikationsobjekts in Abhängigkeit von einem Signal der Unterlegeinheit vorgesehen. Die Aufstelleinheit könnte beispielsweise zu einer Identifikation der Gehäuseeinheit und/oder zumindest eines in der Gehäuseeinheit integrierten Objekts der Aufstelleinheit in Abhängigkeit von einem Signal der Aufstelleinheit vorgesehen sein. Dadurch kann eine Betriebssicherheit und eine Anwendungsflexibilität erhöht werden.In order to advantageously increase application flexibility and also, in particular, operational reliability, the identification unit is provided for identifying at least part of the installation unit as a function of a signal from the installation unit. The identification unit is provided for simultaneous identification of the underlying unit and the further identification object as a function of a signal from the underlying unit. The installation unit could be provided, for example, to identify the housing unit and/or at least one object of the installation unit integrated in the housing unit, depending on a signal from the installation unit. As a result, operational reliability and application flexibility can be increased.

Zudem wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Kochsystem eine Bedieneinheit aufweist, welche zu einer Bedienung der Identifikationseinheit insbesondere in einem Startbetriebszustand, vorgesehen ist. Vorteilhaft kann die Bedieneinheit zu einem Einschalten der Identifikationseinheit und/oder eines Heizbetriebs und/oder zur Einstellung von Kochparametern vorgesehen sein. Hierdurch kann vorteilhaft eine einfache Bedienung erreicht und damit insbesondere ein Bedienkomfort erhöht werden.In addition, it is proposed that the cooking system has an operating unit, which is provided for operating the identification unit, in particular in a starting operating state. The operating unit can advantageously be provided for switching on the identification unit and/or for heating operation and/or for setting cooking parameters. As a result, simple operation can advantageously be achieved and thus in particular ease of use can be increased.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Bedieneinheit zumindest teilweise in der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere der Unterlegeinheit und/oder in der Gehäuseeinheit, integriert ist. Hierdurch kann insbesondere eine individuelle Bedienung und/oder Identifikation erreicht werden, wodurch eine Anwendungsflexibilität verbessert werden kann. Darunter, dass die Bedieneinheit "in einer Einheit integriert ist", soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass die Einheit die Bedieneinheit zumindest bereichsweise, insbesondere wenigstens zu einem Großteil und vorteilhaft vollständig umschließt und/oder dass die Bedieneinheit kraft- und/oder formschlüssig mit der Einheit ausgebildet ist. Unter der Wendung, dass eine erste Einheit "zumindest teilweise" in einer zweiten Einheit integriert ist, soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass die erste Einheit zumindest ein Element aufweist, welches in der zweiten Einheit integriert ist, und beispielsweise zumindest ein weiteres Element aufweisen könnte, welches von dem Element verschieden sein könnte und welches insbesondere außerhalb der zweiten Einheit und/oder getrennt von der zweiten Einheit angeordnet sein könnte. Bevorzugt ist die Bedieneinheit dabei als eine Schaltereinheit, als Touchfeldschalter und/oder LED-Touchleiste ausgebildet.Furthermore, it is proposed that the operating unit is at least partially integrated in the installation unit, in particular the support unit and/or in the housing unit. In this way, in particular, individual operation and/or identification can be achieved, as a result of which application flexibility can be improved. The fact that the operating unit is "integrated in a unit" is to be understood in particular to mean that the unit encloses the operating unit at least in some areas, in particular at least to a large extent and advantageously completely and/or that the operating unit is non-positively and/or positively connected to the unit is trained. The expression that a first unit is "at least partially" integrated in a second unit is to be understood in particular as meaning that the first unit has at least one element which is integrated in the second unit and could have at least one further element, for example which could be different from the element and which in particular could be arranged outside the second unit and/or separately from the second unit. The operating unit is preferably designed as a switch unit, as a touch field switch and/or LED touch strip.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Identifikationseinheit zur Identifikation zumindest des Teils der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere der Unterlegeinheit und/oder des Kochgeschirrelements und/oder der Gehäuseeinheit, und/oder des weiteren Identifikationsobjekts dazu vorgesehen ist, ein kodiertes Identifikationssignal bereitzustellen. Vorteilhaft weist das kodierte Identifikationssignal Pulse auf, welche einen festen Abstand zueinander aufweisen, wobei ein Puls einer binären "1" und ein Ausbleiben eines Pulses einer binären "0" entspricht. Vorteilhaft bildet eine Abfolge von Pulsen und/oder ausbleibenden Pulsen ein Identifizierungsinformation und/oder eine Identität aus, welche insbesondere zumindest dem Teil der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere der Unterlegeinheit und/oder dem Kochgeschirrelement und/oder der Gehäuseeinheit, und/oder dem weiteren Identifikationsobjekt zugeordnet werden kann/können. Hierdurch kann insbesondere eine große Zahl an verschiedenen Identifikationssignalen erreicht werden, wodurch eine insbesondere individuelle Identifikation verbessert und ein Bedienkomfort erhöht werden kann. Zusätzlich kann ein Identifikationssignal vorteilhaft besonders einfach kodiert werden.It is also proposed that the identification unit for identifying at least part of the installation unit, in particular the support unit and/or the cooking utensil element and/or the housing unit, and/or the further identification object is provided to provide a coded identification signal. Advantageously, the coded identification signal has pulses which are at a fixed distance from one another, with a pulse corresponding to a binary "1" and the absence of a pulse corresponding to a binary "0". A sequence of pulses and/or missing pulses advantageously forms an item of identification information and/or an identity, which in particular relates to at least part of the set-up unit, in particular the support unit and/or the cooking utensil element and/or the housing unit, and/or can/can be assigned to the further identification object. In this way, in particular, a large number of different identification signals can be achieved, as a result of which identification, in particular individual identification, can be improved and ease of use can be increased. In addition, an identification signal can advantageously be encoded in a particularly simple manner.

Um eine besonders einfache und bauraumsparende Identifikationseinheit zu erreichen, wird in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass das Identifikationssignal ein induktives Signal der Induktionsheizeinheit ist. Insbesondere ist das Identifikationssignal identisch mit dem induktiven Signal der Induktionsheizeinheit. Vorteilhaft bilden dabei die Induktionsheizelemente das Identifikationssignal aus.In order to achieve a particularly simple and space-saving identification unit, it is proposed in a preferred embodiment of the invention that the identification signal is an inductive signal from the induction heating unit. In particular, the identification signal is identical to the inductive signal of the induction heating unit. The induction heating elements advantageously form the identification signal.

Zudem wird vorgeschlagen, dass das weitere Identifikationsobjekt ein auf der Unterlegeinheit angeordnetes Kochgeschirrelement der Aufstelleinheit ist. Vorteilhaft identifiziert die Identifikationseinheit das weitere Identifikationsobjekt mit einer weiteren Identität. Hierdurch kann insbesondere eine individuelle Bedienung der Unterlegeinheit und/oder des weiteren Identifikatiosnsobjekts erreicht werden.In addition, it is proposed that the further identification object is a cooking utensil element of the set-up unit arranged on the base unit. The identification unit advantageously identifies the further identification object with a further identity. In this way, in particular, individual operation of the pad unit and/or the further identification object can be achieved.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich wird vorgeschlagen, dass das weitere Identifikationsobjekt zumindest ein Teil einer weiteren Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere eine weitere Unterlegeinheit und/oder ein weiteres Kochgeschirrelement und/oder eine weitere Gehäuseeinheit, ist, welche zu einer Anordnung oberhalb der Abdeckplatte vorgesehen ist. Die weitere Unterlegeinheit der weiteren Aufstelleinheit könnte beispielsweise zu einer Anordnung zwischen einem weiteren zu erhitzenden Kochgeschirrelement der Aufstelleinheit und der Abdeckplatte vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere ist die Identifikationseinheit in zumindest einem Betriebszustand zu einer zumindest im Wesentlichen individuellen Zuordnung einer Identität und zu einer Identifikation zumindest der Teile der Aufstelleinheiten, insbesondere der Unterlegeinheiten und/oder der Kochgeschirrelemente und/oder der Gehäuseeinheiten, vorgesehen. Unter der Wendung, dass die Identifikationseinheit in zumindest einem Betriebszustand zu einer "individuellen Zuordnung" einer Identität und zu einer Identifikation einer Einheit vorgesehen ist, soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass die Identifikationseinheit in dem Betriebszustand zumindest die Einheit individuell identifiziert, wobei das Identifikationssignal zur Zuordnung einer Identität zu einer Einheit insbesondere verschieden ist von einem weiteren Identifikationssignal zur Zuordnung einer weiteren Identität zu einer weiteren Einheit. Unter der Wendung, dass die Identifikationseinheit in zumindest einem Betriebszustand zu einer "zumindest im Wesentlichen" individuellen Zuordnung soll insbesondere eine individuelle Zuordnung verstanden werden, bei welcher sich ein Identifikationssignal zur Zuordnung einer Identität zu einer Einheit in zumindest einer Eigenschaft von einem weiteren Identifikationssignal zur Zuordnung einer weiteren Identität zu einer weiteren Einheit unterscheidet, wobei insbesondere das Identifikationssignal und das weitere Identifikationssignal zumindest eine gemeinsame Eigenschaft aufweisen könnten. Beispielsweise könnten sich die Identifikationssignale um zumindest eine binäre Information, insbesondere um einen Puls des induktiven Signals, insbesondere des Identifikationssignals, unterscheiden.Alternatively or additionally, it is proposed that the further identification object is at least part of a further installation unit, in particular a further support unit and/or a further cooking utensil element and/or a further housing unit, which is intended to be arranged above the cover plate. The additional base unit of the additional installation unit could be provided, for example, for an arrangement between an additional cooking utensil element of the installation unit to be heated and the cover plate. In particular, the identification unit is provided in at least one operating state for an at least essentially individual assignment of an identity and for an identification of at least the parts of the installation units, in particular the base units and/or the cooking utensil elements and/or the housing units. The phrase that the identification unit is provided in at least one operating state for an "individual assignment" of an identity and for an identification of a unit is to be understood in particular that the identification unit in the operating state identifies at least the unit individually, with the identification signal for the assignment an identity to an entity in particular is different from one further identification signal for assigning a further identity to a further unit. The expression that the identification unit is in at least one operating state for an "at least substantially" individual assignment is to be understood in particular as an individual assignment in which an identification signal for assigning an identity to a unit differs in at least one property from a further identification signal for the assignment distinguishes a further identity from a further unit, in which case in particular the identification signal and the further identification signal could have at least one common property. For example, the identification signals could differ by at least binary information, in particular by a pulse of the inductive signal, in particular of the identification signal.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Aufstelleinheit zumindest eine Gehäuseeinheit aufweist, in welcher die Bedieneinheit zumindest teilweise und vorteilhaft wenigstens zu einem Großteil integriert ist. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine geringe Bauteilevielfalt und/oder eine geringe Lagerhaltung und/oder eine unkomplizierte Ausgestaltung erzielt werden. Die Gehäuseeinheit könnte beispielsweise mehrteilig ausgebildet sein, wobei insbesondere Teilbereiche der Gehäuseeinheit in dem Heizbetriebszustand miteinander insbesondere lösbar verbunden sein könnten. Hierdurch könnte insbesondere im Fall eines Defekts ein Zugriff auf zumindest ein in der Gehäuseeinheit integriertes Objekt ermöglicht werden. Alternativ könnte die Gehäuseeinheit einstückig ausgebildet sein, wodurch insbesondere eine hohe Stabilität erzielt werden könnte. Unter "einstückig" soll insbesondere zumindest stoffschlüssig verbunden verstanden werden, beispielsweise durch einen Schweißprozess, einen Klebeprozess, einen Anspritzprozess und/oder einen anderen, dem Fachmann als sinnvoll erscheinenden Prozess, und/oder vorteilhaft in einem Stück geformt verstanden werden, wie beispielsweise durch eine Herstellung aus einem Guss und/oder durch eine Herstellung in einem Ein- oder Mehrkomponentenspritzverfahren und vorteilhaft aus einem einzelnen Rohling.Furthermore, it is proposed that the set-up unit has at least one housing unit in which the operating unit is at least partially and advantageously at least largely integrated. In this way, in particular, a small number of components and/or a small amount of storage and/or an uncomplicated configuration can be achieved. The housing unit could, for example, be designed in several parts, in which case, in particular, partial areas of the housing unit could be connected to one another, in particular detachably, in the heating operating state. In this way, access to at least one object integrated in the housing unit could be made possible, particularly in the event of a defect. As an alternative, the housing unit could be designed in one piece, as a result of which a high degree of stability could be achieved in particular. "In one piece" is to be understood in particular as being at least cohesively connected, for example by a welding process, an adhesive process, an injection molding process and/or another process that appears sensible to the person skilled in the art, and/or advantageously formed in one piece, such as by a Production from a single casting and/or by production using a single-component or multi-component injection molding process and advantageously from a single blank.

Zudem wird ein Verfahren zu einem Betrieb eines Kochsystems vorgeschlagen, welches zumindest zu einer Aufstelleinheit, welche in wenigstens einem Heizbetriebszustand zu einer Anordnung oberhalb einer Abdeckplatte vorgesehen ist, und eine Induktionsheizeinheit, welche zu einer Erhitzung zumindest eines Teils der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere zumindest eines Kochgeschirrelements der Aufstelleinheit und/oder zumindest einer Wandung einer Gehäuseeinheit der Aufstelleinheit, vorgesehen ist, wobei zumindest ein Teil der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere die Unterlegeinheit und/oder das Kochgeschirrelement und/oder die Gehäuseeinheit, und/oder wenigstens ein weiteres Identifikationsobjekt insbesondere simultan identifiziert werden/wird, wobei jedem zu identifizierenden Objekt eine individuelle Identität zuordnet wird, umfasst, wobei eine Identifikationseinheit die Induktionsheizeinheit zumindest teilweise umfasst, und wobei zumindest der Teil der Aufstelleinheit in Abhängigkeit von einem Signal der Aufstelleinheit simultan mit zumindest einem Teil einer weiteren Aufstelleinheit, welche zu einer Anordnung oberhalb der Abdeckplatte vorgesehen ist und zumindest eine Unterlegeinheit aufweist, welche in dem Heizbetriebszustand zu einer Anordnung zwischen einem zu erhitzenden weiteren Kochgeschirrelement der weiteren Aufstelleinheit und der Abdeckplatte vorgesehen ist, identifiziert wird. Durch diese Ausgestaltung kann eine vorteilhafte Identifizierung des Teils der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere der Unterlegeinheit und/oder des Kochgeschirrelements und/oder der Gehäuseeinheit, und/oder des weiteren Identifikationsobjekts geschaffen werden, womit eine individuelle Heizleistung für den Teil der Aufstelleinheit erzeugt werden kann, wobei der Teil der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere die Unterlegeinheit und/oder das als ein Kochgeschirrelement ausgebildete, weitere Identifikationsobjekt und/oder die Gehäuseeinheit, auf einer Abdeckplatte eines Kochfelds frei beweglich ist/sind. Hierdurch kann insbesondere eine Flexibilität und ein Bedienkomfort verbessert werden. Insbesondere wird in einem, insbesondere in einem ersten, Verfahrensschritt, die Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere die Unterlegeinheit und/oder die Gehäuseeinheit, insbesondere mittels einer Bedieneinheit, gestartet, wobei die Induktionsheizeinheit durch die Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere durch die Unterlegeinheit und/oder die Gehäuseeinheit, aktiviert wird. Zudem wird vorteilhaft in einem weiteren, insbesondere einem zweiten, Verfahrensschritt der Teil der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere die Unterlegeinheit und/oder das Kochgeschirrelement und/oder die Gehäuseeinheit, von der Induktionsheizeinheit mittels eines kodierten Identifikationssignal identifiziert und dem Teil der Aufstelleinheit, insbesondere der Unterlegeinheit und/oder dem Kochgeschirrelement und/oder der Gehäuseeinheit, eine Identität zugeordnet. Im Fall einer Aufstelleinheit, welche eine Unterlegeinheit und ein Kochgeschirrelement aufweist, wird in dem Verfahren simultan das auf der Unterlegeinheit angeordnete, weitere Identifikationsobjekt von der Induktionsheizeinheit mittels eines weiteren kodierten Identifikationssignals identifiziert und dem Kochgeschirrelement eine weitere Identität zugeordnet. In einem zusätzlichen, insbesondere einem dritten, Verfahrensschritt werden die Identität der Unterlegeinheit und die weitere Identität des weiteren Identifikationsobjekts miteinander kombiniert. Insbesondere werden die Identität der Unterlegeinheit und die weitere Identität des weiteren Identifikationsobjekts von der Unterlegeinheit, insbesondere der Elektronikeinheit, miteinander kombiniert. Insbesondere in zumindest einem zusätzlichen weiteren, insbesondere einem vierten, Verfahrensschritt wird insbesondere ein Heizbetriebszustand des Kochsystems gestartet, wobei in dem Heizbetriebszustand ein Identifikationsabfolge wiederholt wird.In addition, a method for operating a cooking system is proposed, which at least relates to a set-up unit, which in at least one heating operating state is provided for an arrangement above a cover plate, and an induction heating unit, which is used to heat at least part of the set-up unit, in particular at least one cooking utensil element of the installation unit and/or at least one wall of a housing unit of the installation unit, is provided, with at least part of the installation unit, in particular the base unit and/or the cooking utensil element and/or the housing unit, and/or at least one further identification object, in particular simultaneously are/is identified, with each object to be identified being assigned an individual identity, with an identification unit comprising the induction heating unit at least partially, and with at least part of the installation unit depending on a signal from the installation unit simultaneously with at least part of a further installation unit, which is intended to be arranged above the cover plate and has at least one underlay unit which, in the heating operating state, is arranged to be arranged between a further cooking utensil element to be heated on the further set-up unit and the cover plate is provided is identified. This configuration allows an advantageous identification of the part of the installation unit, in particular the support unit and/or the cooking utensil element and/or the housing unit, and/or the further identification object, with which an individual heating output can be generated for the part of the installation unit, with the Part of the set-up unit, in particular the support unit and/or the further identification object designed as a cookware element and/or the housing unit, is/are freely movable on a cover plate of a cooktop. In this way, in particular, flexibility and ease of use can be improved. In particular, in one, in particular in a first, method step, the installation unit, in particular the base unit and/or the housing unit, is started, in particular by means of an operating unit, with the induction heating unit being activated by the installation unit, in particular by the base unit and/or the housing unit . In addition, in a further, in particular a second, method step, the part of the installation unit, in particular the base unit and/or the cooking utensil element and/or the housing unit, is advantageously identified by the induction heating unit by means of a coded identification signal and the part of the installation unit, in particular the base unit and/or or assigned an identity to the cooking utensil element and/or the housing unit. In the case of a set-up unit that has a base unit and a cookware element, the method simultaneously identifies the further identification object arranged on the base unit by the induction heating unit by means of a further coded identification signal and the cookware element a further identity assigned. In an additional, in particular a third, method step, the identity of the underlying unit and the further identity of the further identification object are combined with one another. In particular, the identity of the underlying unit and the further identity of the further identification object are combined with one another by the underlying unit, in particular the electronics unit.
