Abstract
A method for targeted heating element control can include: sampling measurements, determining one or more occupied regions based on the measurements, determining one or more food types, controlling appliance operation based on the occupied regions and food types, optionally providing real-time feedback to the user for food placement within the cavity, optionally sampling training measurements, optionally determining a cavity occupancy region classifier, and/or any other suitable elements.
