Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling the operation of cooking equipment being executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, the electronic device communicating with cooking equipment and a camera device that creates height value, the method comprising: setting the camera device to detect an area of a container positioned on the cooking equipment; setting a liquid concentration of liquid in the container according to a predetermined relationship between substance categories and liquid concentrations; acquiring height values between the camera device and a surface of the liquid, in a Z axis direction corresponding to a direction that is parallel to a direction between the camera device and the surface, from the camera device; calculating a height difference between a maximum height value and a minimum height value, wherein the maximum height value is measured to a lowest point on the surface and the minimum height value is measured to a highest point on surface; and controlling, when the height difference is more than a preset standard value, a heat reduction unit of the cooking equipment to change a working state of the cooking equipment.
