In some embodiments, since the chip select signal of the chip select terminal CSN is active low, theNFC chip 118 starts communication only when the chip select signal is active low. Therefore, in some embodiments, theimmunity resistor 23 includes a pull-down resistor R8 electrically connected between the chip select terminal CSN and the ground terminal GND. The pull-down resistor R8 is used to pull down the voltage of the chip select terminal CSN to the low level of the ground terminal GND, so as to ensure that the chip select terminal CSN is at the low level even if the port of themain control circuit 116 connected to the chip select terminal CSN is floating or in a high impedance state, and theNFC chip 118 can still work and normally communicate. Meanwhile, the resistance of the pull-down resistor R8 is set to be much larger than the resistance of the third current-limiting resistor R7, so that when the chip selection signal of the chip selection terminal CSN set by the control terminal SCL is at a high level, theNFC chip 118 may also detect the high level and stop communication. In this embodiment, for example, the pull-down resistor R8 may be set to 4.7K Ω. The third current limiting resistor R7 may be set to a resistance of 100 Ω. Other resistance values can be set for the pull-down resistor R8 and the third current limiting resistor R7, which are not limited in this application.

In some embodiments, theNFC circuit board 115 and themain control board 114 are pluggable. In some embodiments, theNFC circuit board 115 and themain control board 114 are connected by theconnector 30. Theconnector 30 is used to connect theNFC chip 118 and themaster circuit 116.Master control circuit 116 andNFC circuit 117 set up in the circuit board of difference, connect throughconnector 30, and more the modularization can set up the position ofNFC chip 118 and the position ofmaster control circuit 116 according to actual conditions, and the product scope of being suitable for is wider. When one of themaster control circuit 116 and theNFC circuit 117 needs to be maintained, replaced or upgraded, the other one does not need to be replaced, theconnector 30 can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of themaster control circuit 116 and theNFC circuit 117, thereby facilitating the replacement of themaster control circuit 116 or theNFC circuit 117, facilitating the upgrade of products, and reducing the cost of maintenance, replacement or upgrade.

In some embodiments,connector 30 includes one of a UART serial connector, an SPI interface connector, and an IIC interface connector. The UART serial connector and the IIC interface connector require fewer ports, and the SPI interface connector can enable the data transmission speed to be higher. The appropriate connector may be selected based on actual needs (e.g., speed requirements for transferring data, actual port numbers of theNFC chip 118 and thehost circuitry 116, etc.). The circuit design is more flexible.

In the present embodiment, theexternal NFC device 15 includes a handset supporting an NFC function. TheNFC chip 118 includes a storage unit. The storage unit can store the instructions issued by the mobile phone. Themain control board 114 can read the instruction from the storage unit. The instructions may be recipe instructions. The memory unit may also store other data that themain control board 114 transmits to theNFC chip 118. For example, it is which recipes the food processor has executed, and how many times each recipe has been executed, which facilitates the background to count the usage frequency of recipes. So set up, through increasingNFC circuit board 115, can extend the function of thehost computer 11 of cooking machine.

If no recipe command is detected, themain control panel 114 continues to perform its native function. If the transmitted recipe command is detected, it is further determined whether the mobile phone leaves the NFC chip 118 (i.e., whether the mobile phone is in communication with theNFC chip 118 is determined). After the mobile phone and theNFC chip 118 complete communication, themain control board 114 starts to read data from the storage unit of theNFC chip 118. By such arrangement, the data in the storage unit can be prevented from being operated by the mobile phone and themain control board 114 at the same time, so that data errors are avoided. Next, themain control board 114 verifies and analyzes the data read from the storage unit of theNFC chip 118. For example, whether the data format is correct is checked, and how to execute the transmitted recipe command is specified. After each function is executed, themain control board 114 updates the recipe in the storage unit of theNFC chip 118, and it is ensured that the latest data is obtained each time the mobile phone approaches the communication.

Further, when the mobile phone interacts with the food processor, a suitable recipe can be selected on the mobile phone, and the recipe is clicked and issued to the storage unit of theNFC chip 118, and is close to the installation position of theNFC chip 118, so that the corresponding recipe is stored in the storage unit of theNFC chip 118. Themain control board 114 then reads the recipe from theNFC chip 118 and executes the new recipe instructions after verification. Therefore, real-time performance and accuracy of data interaction are guaranteed. The user experience is enhanced.
