METHOD FOR VISUALISING A PROGRAMME SCHEDULE, DIALOGUE INTERFACE THEREFOR, AND COOKING APPLIANCE THEREFOR

The present invention relates to a method for visualising programmes for at least one cooking appliance, in which method, after at least two programmes and their chronological order are selected from a plurality of programmes, the selected programmes are displayed, in each case in the form of at least one virtual ticket (40, 50, 60, 60', 60") constituting a representative of a programme, on at least one display device in a display area (1, 10) along a time axis in order to take into account the chronological order, wherein the extent of each displayed virtual ticket (40, 50, 60, 60', 60'') along the time axis characterises the duration of the associated programme, and a scheduling time gap (70), which characterises a pause region (17) along the time axis between a first ticket (40, 50) and a second ticket (50, 60, 60', 60'') that chronologically succeeds said first ticket (40, 50), is at least partially closed, either automatically or triggered by a user, by moving the second ticket (50, 60, 60', 60") towards the first ticket (40, 50), in particular back to the left along the time axis extending in the x-direction, said method being characterised by the following steps: a) determining the presence of at least one scheduling gap (70) between two successive tickets (40, 50, 60, 60', 60"); b) displaying the determined scheduling gap (70) at least once and/or outputting information concerning the determined scheduling gap (70) and/or opening a dialogue interface concerning the determined scheduling gap (70); and c) at least partially closing the determined scheduling gap (70) in accordance with a closure request. The invention also relates to a dialogue interface and a cooking appliance for carrying out such a method.
