controlling, according to the modified cooking task, the target cooking station to cook the to-be-cooked dish.

6 . The interactive control method for the intelligent kitchen according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the dish information of the to-be-cooked dish comprises:

obtaining a dish order, and determining the dish information of the to-be-cooked dish based on the dish order.

7 . The interactive control method for the intelligent kitchen according to claim 1 , wherein the dish container comprises a radio frequency identification tag, and the interactive control method for the intelligent kitchen further comprises:

determining dish delivery information of the cooked dish; and

sending the dish delivery information to an information writing end, and controlling the dish container filled with the cooked dish to be transported to the information writing end, wherein the information writing end is configured to write the dish delivery information into the radio frequency identification tag.

8 . An interactive control system for an intelligent kitchen, configured for scheduling cooking and delivery related to the order reminder information in the intelligent kitchen, comprising an interactive control apparatus, a target cooking station and a delivery terminal, wherein

the interactive control apparatus is configured to obtain dish information of a to-be-cooked dish; determine a cooking task according to the dish information; control, according to the cooking task, the target cooking station to cook the to-be-cooked dish; determine, according to the dish information, a dish container corresponding to the dish information; control the dish container to be transported to a dish receiving position of the target cooking station; and send a delivery instruction after the target cooking station finishes cooking and fills a cooked dish into the dish container, to control the delivery terminal to perform a dish delivery task;

wherein the intelligent kitchen comprises a plurality of cooking stations other than the target cooking station, and the interactive control apparatus is further configured to receive order reminder information for a target dish; determine, in response to the target dish being contained in multiple to-be-cooked dishes corresponding to the plurality of cooking stations, a cooking station corresponding to the target dish as a cooking station with a delivery priority; control, in response to the plurality of cooking stations finishing cooking at the same time, the cooking station with the delivery priority to perform a third light-on operation, wherein the third light-on operation is used to remind a staff to complete the dish delivery task; obtain, in response to the target dish being not contained in the multiple to-be-cooked dishes corresponding to the plurality of cooking stations, remaining cooking durations respectively corresponding to the plurality of cooking stations; determine the shortest cooking duration from the remaining cooking durations, as the waiting duration for cooking the target dish; determine order-reminder waiting duration of the target dish based on the order reminder information; and send a manual cooking reminder in response to the waiting duration for cooking the target dish being longer than the waiting duration for the order reminder of the target dish, wherein the manual cooking reminder is used to remind the staff to cook the target dish;
