Samsung patents smart oven that turns off if it loses Wi-Fi connection

Samsung has filed a patent for a cooking device that connects to a user's phone or tablet to start and manage meals. If the connection between the device and the user's terminal drops, the appliance automatically stops cooking to ensure safety. The system also saves the current cooking settings, such as temperature and remaining time, so the process can be resumed later.

Why it mattersThis feature adds a layer of safety to smart kitchen appliances by preventing unattended heating if the internet or Wi-Fi signal fails.

The cooking apparatus includes a cooking module configured to perform a cooking operation by heating an object to be heated, a communication module configured to communicate with a user terminal, and at least one processor configured to control the cooking module to perform the cooking operation based on a control command received from the user terminal, and control the cooking module to stop the cooking operation in response to disconnection of communication with the user terminal.
