Abstract: A method for performing a treatment by a domestic appliance having a programmable control unit and a graphic display. The method includes executing a program for performing the treatment, encoding information about the appliance, the program and/or a current status of the appliance, generating a two-dimensional code representing the encoded information, and displaying the code on the graphic display, so that the code is detectable by a camera or scanner of a mobile computer device. Further, a method for processing information about a treatment performed by a domestic appliance, wherein the information is encoded by a two-dimensional code on a graphic display of the appliance. The method includes detecting the two-dimensional code by a camera or scanner, decoding the code, and indicating the decoded information on a display, and/or transmitting the decoded information to a computer device via the internet, and/or processing the decoded information by an application software.

The sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module and the panel (3) or said section thereof forming a weighing means, in particular a scale. The sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module is adapted to be integrated in or allocated to a household appliance (1), in particular a cooking hob, more in particular an induction cooking hob, and comprises or is connected to at least one processing and/or interpretation and/or compilation means, preferably for providing a particular high sensor sensitivity and/or evaluation unit accuracy. Further, a household appliance (1) is disclosed which comprises an at least approximately horizontal panel (3), in particular a glass panel. The panel (3) is part of or is in functional connection with a scale for weighing an item (15) placed on the panel (3). Finally, the invention relates to a method for determining the weight of an item (15) on an at least approximately horizontal panel (3) of a household appliance (1), in particular on a top panel (3) of a cooking hob. An acceleration of a panel (3) section or of a panel reference point or reference area, in particular a reference point or a reference area on a panel surface (7), is estimated or determined during a displacement or deflection or bending of the panel section or the panel reference point or reference area due to a placing of the item (15) on the panel.
