user B, age: age 33, taste preference: salty and fresh, and individual requirements: cosmetic, health data: body fat is high. "

Combining the registered person information and the number of diners of the user A and the user B, the menu generation module 3 analyzes and determines that the dish is Shanghai dish according to the taste information of the registered person; analyzing and determining the dish number and the recipe to be matched into two dishes and one soup according to the number of 2 people having meals; and analyzing and determining the recommended dishes with low oil and blood pressure according to the preference and health data of the registrant, and searching, selecting and comparing in a menu database storage module 4 based on the analyzed and determined contents to finally generate a combined menu suggestion of the two dishes and the one soup.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a recipe recommendation method according to the menu generation system of the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, in the menu generating system of the first embodiment, the provided recipe recommending method includes:

step S1 of storing a plurality of sets of registered person information in a manner corresponding to a plurality of registered persons, respectively;

step S2, calling and selecting a plurality of diners, wherein the diners comprise at least one or more registrars;

and step S3, accessing preset menu data information and matching according to at least registered person information corresponding to the registered person in the plurality of diners, and generating a combined menu suggestion containing at least two dishes.

In the recipe recommending method according to the present embodiment, step S1 is completed by the storage module 1, step S2 is completed by the information retrieving and selecting module 2, and step S3 is completed by the menu generating module 3. In other embodiments of the present invention, for example, a part of the independent module in the intelligent refrigerator may also perform one or more steps of the recipe recommendation method. In some other embodiments, the intelligent refrigerator may also include one or more processors (not shown), and a memory (not shown) communicatively connected to the processors, where the memory stores processor-readable instructions, and the processor performs all the steps of the recipe recommendation method provided in the first embodiment by executing the processor-readable instructions. In addition, the processor and the memory can be arranged in the intelligent refrigerator, and can also be arranged in a cloud server or other terminal equipment in communication connection with the intelligent refrigerator.

According to the menu generation system and the recipe recommendation method provided by the embodiment, the registered person information is pre-stored in the storage module 1, when a user has a meal demand and needs recipe recommendation, the information of the registered person in the meal person can be conveniently called and selected from the storage module 1, so that the complicated information input of the meal person is not needed every time, and the registered person can be set after the information of the person who frequently eats at home is registered, so that the information management of the person who frequently eats at home can be more conveniently carried out.

Then, menu recommendation is carried out by referring to the selected registered person information, menu recommendation which gives balance to the taste and the health management requirements of each diner can be provided according to the taste and the health condition of each diner, and the adoption rate of the menu recommendation is improved.

Finally, the menu generating module 3 generates a menu according to the selected diner and the registered person information corresponding to the diner, compares and matches the menu data information stored in the menu database storage module 4 to generate a combined menu suggestion containing at least two dishes, thereby planning and combining the dish collocation for meeting different meal requirements of a plurality of diners by taking one meal as a unit, recommending a whole set of suitable meal menu, the user does not need to select and combine the single menu recommendation at the later stage, the unscientific performance and the randomness of the user selection are reduced, the whole set of meal menu which meets the requirements of taste and health management of each diner according to the information of the registered staff is more easily adopted by the user, the scientificity of meal collocation is improved, and the experience and the feeling of the user are also improved.

Meanwhile, because the food materials and nutritional ingredients, the health improvement effect of the food materials and specific requirements, and the association of the food materials and taste characteristics are preset in the recipe data information, the menu generating module 3 may match the recipe data information stored in the recipe database storage module 4 according to the registered person information corresponding to the diner, such as age, height, weight, health information including blood pressure, blood fat, blood sugar, uric acid level, and the like, and taste preference, to provide a combined recipe suggestion meeting the requirements of the diner.

Therefore, the user does not need to pay special attention and consider meal nutrition collocation or individual requirements of each diner when dining at every time, and only needs to input the information of registered staff in advance, so that the complete set of combined menu suggestions giving consideration to the individual requirements of each diner can be provided, the complexity of matching the combined menu by the user is greatly reduced, and the experience of enjoying intelligent life by the user is improved.

In other embodiments, the diner may further include unregistered persons, and the information retrieving and selecting module 2 may obtain one or more sets of unregistered person information in a manner corresponding to one or more sets of unregistered persons, respectively, and the unregistered person information preferably also includes one or more of age information, health information, and taste preference information of the unregistered persons.

The following description is made in detail with reference to an application scenario for the case of unregistered persons.

[ application scenario 2]

In the application scenario 2, except that a non-registered person C is temporarily added as a diner, other settings are the same as those in the application scenario 1, and are not described herein again.

When it is necessary to temporarily add the unregistered person C as a diner, first, the "temporary diner C" is newly added through the input device 21 of the information retrieving and selecting module 2, and at the same time, one or more of basic information of the unregistered person C, such as age information, health information, and taste preference information, is input. Then, together with two sets of registered person information corresponding to the user a and the user B read by the menu generating module 3, the registered person information forms the current dinning person information, for example:

"user a, age: age 34, preference for taste: sweet taste, individual requirements: fitness, health data: has mild hypertension;

user B, age: age 33, taste preference: salty and fresh, and individual requirements: cosmetic, health data: body fat is higher;

non-registered user C, age: 60 years old, taste preference: bland, individual requirements: none, health data: cholesterol is high. "

Combining the registered personnel information of the user A and the user B, the unregistered personnel C and the number of diners, the menu generation module 3 analyzes and determines that the dish is Shanghai dish according to the taste information of the registered personnel; determining the dish number and the recipe matching as three-dish one-soup according to the analysis of 3 people having meals; according to the preference and health data of registered people and non-registered people, analyzing and determining recommended dishes with low fat, blood pressure and cholesterol, of course, the taste of 3 people can be considered, three dishes with different tastes are recommended, and based on the content determined by the analysis, searching, selecting and comparing are carried out in the menu database storage module 4, and finally a combined menu suggestion of three dishes to one soup is generated.

Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the menu generating system may generate the combined recipe suggestion by considering different meal needs of all diners including the registered person and the unregistered person together with the unregistered person information and other selected registered person information. Therefore, even if non-registered people are required to be added as diner personnel temporarily due to visiting of visitors or relatives and friends, the system can flexibly deal with the situation and provide scientific combined menu suggestions.

Here, the unregistered person is a concept of a registered person, and refers to a person who does not belong to the registered person in a current meal setting scene, and may be a person registered in any one of the smart appliances at home, for example. However, since the information of the unregistered person is often acquired by external information, the manner of acquiring the information of the unregistered person is not limited herein. For example, in the embodiment, the non-registered person information may be obtained by a user actively inputting the non-registered person information, or by a cloud server. After a meal, the menu generating system may also store the information of the unregistered person in the storage module 1, or mark the unregistered person as a registered person for possible recall at a later date.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the type of the registered person information is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any information related to diet or health can be stored and referred as registered person information. Meanwhile, the embodiment of the present invention qualitatively describes the registrant information, but is not limited thereto, and the registrant information may be recorded and stored in a digitized form, for example, in the form of "blood pressure value", "body fat rate", "total cholesterol value", and the menu generating system generates the combination menu advice with reference to these values.

[ second embodiment ]
