(Embodiment 1)
A seasoning use weight calculating apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The seasoning use weight calculation apparatus according to the present embodiment generates seasoning use weight information, which is information indicating the amount of seasoning used.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a seasoning use weight calculation apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. The seasoning used weight calculation device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a seasoning weight information receiving unit 11, a seasoning weight information accumulating unit 12, a seasoning identification information receiving unit 13, and a seasoning used weight information generating unit 14. The seasoning use weight information output unit 15, the seasoning use weight information storage unit 16, the seasoning information storage unit 17, the seasoning component information generation unit 18, and the seasoning component information output unit 19 are provided.

  The seasoning weight information receiving unit 11 receives seasoning weight information, which is information indicating the total weight of two or more seasonings stored for use. Seasonings are used for cooking, eating and drinking, for example, sugar, salt, pepper, miso, oil, sauce, soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, butter, jam, powdered milk, powdered coffee (instant coffee) Etc. The “seasoning preserved for use” is a seasoning that is put in a seasoning container such as a bottle or can and is taken out from the seasoning container when used. The seasoning weight information may include the weight of a seasoning container in which the seasoning is stored, or a tool used to take out the seasoning (for example, a spoon or a spatula).

  The seasoning weight information receiving unit 11 may receive seasoning weight information input from a weight measuring device such as an electronic balance, for example, and receives seasoning weight information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line. Alternatively, seasoning weight information read from a predetermined recording medium (for example, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, a semiconductor memory, etc.) may be received. Note that the seasoning weight information reception unit 11 may or may not include a device (for example, a modem or a network card) for reception. Moreover, the seasoning weight information reception part 11 may be implement | achieved by hardware, or may be implement | achieved by software, such as a driver which drives a predetermined device.

  The seasoning weight information accumulating unit 12 accumulates the seasoning weight information received by the seasoning weight information receiving unit 11 in a recording medium. The recording medium is, for example, a semiconductor memory, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, or the like, and may be included in the seasoning weight information storage unit 12 or may exist outside the seasoning weight information storage unit 12. . Moreover, this recording medium may memorize | store seasoning weight information temporarily, and may not be so. Note that the seasoning weight information storage unit 12 may store the seasoning weight information in association with time information indicating the time when the seasoning weight information is received.

  The seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 receives seasoning identification information that is information for identifying the used seasoning. The seasoning identification information only needs to be information that can identify the seasoning. For example, the seasoning name may be the name of the seasoning, may be a symbol given to the seasoning, or other information. It may be. A process in which the seasoning identification information is received by the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 will be described.

[Accepting seasoning identification information using RFID tags]
Assume that an RFID tag corresponding to seasoning identification information for identifying the seasoning contained in the seasoning container is attached to each seasoning container. When using the seasoning, the user holds the seasoning container containing the seasoning over the RFID tag reader and causes the RFID tag reader to read information on the RFID tag. Then, the RFID tag reader may pass the seasoning identification information corresponding to the RFID tag whose information has been read to the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13. That is, the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 may receive the seasoning identification information read from the RFID tag. In addition, when using the seasoning, the user may be conscious of reading the seasoning identification information with the RFID tag reader, or the RFID tag reader may be arranged around the area where the seasoning container is placed. Thus, the seasoning identification information may be read by the RFID tag reader without the user being aware of it. The RFID tag corresponding to the seasoning identification information may be an RFID tag that stores the seasoning identification information, or an RFID tag that stores information associated with the seasoning identification information. There may be.

  In addition, the RFID tag corresponding to the seasoning identification information for identifying the seasoning contained in the seasoning container is affixed to each seasoning container as described above. A seasoning container may be placed on the top. In such a situation, when the user uses the seasoning, if the seasoning container is lifted, the RFID tag reader cannot read the RFID tag attached to the seasoning container. Then, the RFID tag reader may detect an RFID tag that can no longer be read, and pass seasoning identification information corresponding to the RFID tag to the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13.

[Accepting seasoning identification information using barcodes]
Instead of the RFID tag and the RFID tag reader described above, a barcode and a barcode reader may be used. That is, it is assumed that a bar code corresponding to seasoning identification information for identifying the seasoning contained in the seasoning container is attached to each seasoning container. When using the seasoning, the user holds the bar code of the seasoning container containing the seasoning over the bar code reader and causes the bar code to be read. Then, the bar code reader may pass the seasoning identification information corresponding to the read bar code to the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13.

[Accepting seasoning identification information using the sensor on the table on which the seasoning container is placed]
It is assumed that a sensor for detecting whether the seasoning container is placed or lifted and used is provided on the table on which the seasoning container is placed. Then, when the user uses the seasoning, when the seasoning container is lifted, the sensor detects that, and seasoning identification information for identifying the seasoning contained in the lifted seasoning container is identified. You may pass to the information reception part 13. The sensor is, for example, a light sensor (for example, a photodiode), which detects light when the seasoning container is lifted, and blocks the light when the seasoning container is placed. You may detect whether it was lifted. The sensor may be, for example, a switch that is turned off when the seasoning container is placed and turned on when the seasoning container is lifted (on and off are reversed). May be) The switch may be constituted by a strain gauge, for example. In this case, strain gauges are required for each type of seasoning, but the strain gauges used here are used only for determining the presence or absence of a load, and are therefore used in the weight measuring device 2. It may be less accurate than a strain gauge. In these cases, when there is correspondence information indicating the correspondence between each sensor and the seasoning, and a certain sensor detects that the seasoning container has been lifted, the seasoning corresponding to the sensor is detected. The seasoning identification information for identifying the item may be passed to the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13.

  It goes without saying that the seasoning identification information may be received by the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 by a method other than these.

  The seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 may receive, for example, seasoning identification information input from an input device (for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, an RFID tag reader, a barcode reader, or a sensor). The seasoning identification information transmitted via the communication line may be received, or the seasoning identification information read from a predetermined recording medium (for example, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, a semiconductor memory, etc.) may be received. Note that the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 may or may not include a device (for example, a modem or a network card) for receiving. Moreover, the seasoning identification information reception part 13 may be implement | achieved by hardware, or may be implement | achieved by software, such as a driver which drives a predetermined device.

  The seasoning used weight information generating unit 14 generates seasoning used weight information using the seasoning weight information accumulated by the seasoning weight information accumulating unit 12. The seasoning use weight information corresponds to the use weight that is the difference between the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information before use of the seasoning and the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information after use of the seasoning and the change in the weight. The seasoning identification information received by the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 is associated with the seasoning identification information.

  Here, “associating the used weight of the seasoning with the seasoning identification information” means that it is only necessary to acquire the other information from one information of the used weight of the seasoning and the seasoning identification information. Therefore, the seasoning used weight information may include information including the seasoning used weight and the seasoning identification information as a set, and is information that links the seasoning used weight and the seasoning identification information. Also good. In the latter case, the seasoning used weight information may be, for example, information that associates the used weight of the seasoning with a pointer or address indicating the position where the seasoning identification information is stored. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described. Further, the used weight of the seasoning and the seasoning identification information may not be directly associated with each other. For example, the third information may correspond to the used weight of the seasoning, and the seasoning identification information may correspond to the third information. This is the same in the case of “associating A information and B information” in other situations.

  Here, the process which calculates the use weight of a seasoning is demonstrated. The seasoning use weight information generating unit 14 refers to the seasoning weight information accumulated by the seasoning weight information accumulating unit 12, and after the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is decreased by lifting the seasoning container. Then, it is detected that the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information has increased due to the placement of the seasoning container. Then, subtract the weight after use of the seasoning, which is the weight after the increase of the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information, from the weight before the use of the seasoning, which is the weight before the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information decreases. By doing so, the used weight of the seasoning can be calculated. The seasoning use weight information generating unit 14 may calculate the weight before using the seasoning and the weight after using the seasoning by obtaining an average value after performing a plurality of samplings. You may measure by sampling.

  The seasoning identification information received by the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 in response to the change in the weight of the seasoning is, for example, the seasoning identification information received when the weight of the seasoning is changed. The information for identifying the change in the weight of the seasoning (for example, the information for identifying the change may be provided for each change in the weight of the seasoning. The seasoning identification information received by the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 may be associated with the information. Thus, the method of associating the change in the weight of the seasoning with the seasoning identification information does not matter. The seasoning identification information received at the time of the change in the weight of the seasoning is, for example, the period from when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information decreases until the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information increases thereafter. The seasoning identification information received during this period may be used.

  The seasoning use weight information generating unit 14 also associates the seasoning use weight, seasoning identification information for identifying the seasoning, and time information which is information indicating the time the seasoning has been used. The charge usage weight information may be generated. The time information may be, for example, information indicating a date and time, or a time (e.g., a time measured based on a certain point in time (e.g., at the start of cooking, when the system is turned on), for example, Timer value, etc.). The time information may be acquired from a clock that holds time or the like, a timer that measures time, or the like. Alternatively, the time information may be time information associated with the seasoning weight information accumulated by the seasoning weight information accumulation unit 12. The time when the seasoning is used may be, for example, the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is decreased, or may be the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is increased. It may be time. When the time when the seasoning is used is the time between the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is decreased and the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is increased, the time is, for example, the seasoning It may be the middle time between the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is decreased and the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is increased.

  The seasoning use weight information output unit 15 outputs the seasoning use weight information generated by the seasoning use weight information generation unit 14. Here, the output may be, for example, display on a display device (for example, a CRT or a liquid crystal display), transmission via a communication line to a predetermined device, printing by a printer, or audio output by a speaker. Alternatively, it may be stored in a recording medium or delivered to another component. In the present embodiment, the case where the seasoning used weight information output unit 15 accumulates the seasoning used weight information in the seasoning used weight information storage unit 16 will be described. Note that the seasoning use weight information output unit 15 may or may not include an output device (for example, a display device or a printer). Moreover, the seasoning use weight information output unit 15 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver for driving these devices.

  The seasoning used weight information storage unit 16 stores seasoning used weight information. The storage in the seasoning use weight information storage unit 16 may be a temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be a long-term storage. The seasoning use weight information storage unit 16 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The seasoning information storage unit 17 stores seasoning information. Here, the seasoning information is information that associates seasoning identification information, seasoning component identification information, and seasoning unit component amount information. The seasoning component identification information is information for identifying the component of the seasoning. The ingredients of the seasoning may include, for example, nutrients of the seasoning, and may include the calorie (calories) of the seasoning. Examples of nutrients include proteins, lipids, carbohydrates (saccharides), various minerals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, and vitamins. Some or all of these nutrients may be used. The seasoning component identification information may be information that can identify the component of the seasoning. For example, the seasoning component identification information may be the name of the component of the seasoning, and is a symbol given to the component of the seasoning. Or other information. The seasoning unit component amount information is information indicating the amount of the component per unit amount of the seasoning. The amount of the component per unit amount of the seasoning is, for example, the amount of the component per unit weight of the seasoning, the amount of the component per unit volume of the seasoning, the amount of the component per unit length of the seasoning, The amount of ingredients per unit number of seasonings. Thus, seasoning information is information which shows the component contained in a certain seasoning, and the quantity per unit amount of the seasoning of the component.

  The process in which seasoning information is memorize | stored in the seasoning information storage part 17 is not ask | required. For example, seasoning information may be stored in the seasoning information storage unit 17 via a recording medium, and seasoning information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the seasoning information storage unit 17. Alternatively, the seasoning information input via the input device may be stored in the seasoning information storage unit 17. The storage in the seasoning information storage unit 17 may be a temporary storage in a RAM or the like, or may be a long-term storage. The seasoning information storage unit 17 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.).

  The seasoning component information generation unit 18 uses the seasoning usage weight information output by the seasoning usage weight information output unit 15 and the seasoning usage weight stored in the seasoning information storage unit 17. The seasoning component information which is the information which shows the component amount for every component corresponding to the use weight of the seasoning contained in information is produced | generated. The seasoning component information may be information about one seasoning, or may be information about two or more seasonings. In the latter case, the seasoning component information generation unit 18 is information related to the seasoning identified by the seasoning identification information included in all the seasoning usage weight information output by the seasoning usage weight information output unit 15. The information regarding the seasoning identified by the seasoning identification information contained in the partial seasoning use weight information may be sufficient. In the latter case, for example, a range in which the seasoning component information is generated may be specified by the user, and when the seasoning usage weight information includes time information, the time information is used for the same. The seasoning used weight information may be grouped so as to be the seasoning used weight information used at the time, and the seasoning component information may be generated for each group. With this seasoning component information, it is possible to know the components contained in the used seasoning and the amount of the components. For example, the amount of heat of the seasoning, the amount of protein, the amount of lipid, the amount of carbohydrate, and the amount of sodium can be known.

  More specifically, the seasoning component information generation unit 18 uses the seasoning used weight information and the seasoning information, and uses the used weight and seasoning corresponding to the seasoning identification information included in the seasoning used weight information. The component identification information and the seasoning unit component amount information may be specified, and the seasoning component information may be generated using the specified used weight, seasoning component identification information, and seasoning unit component amount information. More specifically, the seasoning component information generation unit 18 calculates the component amount for each component in each seasoning using the specified use weight and the specified seasoning unit component amount information, and the seasoning component About the seasoning included in information, you may comprise seasoning component information by adding the component amount for every component.

  The seasoning component information output unit 19 outputs the seasoning component information generated by the seasoning component information generation unit 18. Here, the output may be, for example, display on a display device (for example, a CRT or a liquid crystal display), transmission via a communication line to a predetermined device, printing by a printer, or audio output by a speaker.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the correspondence between the time accumulated by the seasoning weight information accumulation unit 12 and the seasoning weight information.

  The RFID tag reader 3 reads the seasoning identification information “soy sauce” from the seasoning container 4 with the RFID tag, and inputs the seasoning identification information to the seasoning used weight calculation device 1. The seasoning identification information “soy sauce” is received by the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 (step S103), passed to the seasoning used weight information generation unit 14, and temporarily stored in a recording medium (not shown). (Step S104).

  The seasoning use weight information generating unit 14 refers to the seasoning weight information accumulated by the seasoning weight information accumulating unit 12, and after reducing from 850 g to 740 g, the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 sends the seasoning identification information “soy sauce”. ”And then, when the seasoning weight information increases from 740 g to 835 g, it is determined to generate seasoning use weight information (step S105). As shown in FIG. 5, from the seasoning weight information 850g, 15 g obtained by subtracting 835 g of seasoning weight information is calculated as the used weight. At this time, the time “10 seconds” is calculated, which is the middle time between 6 seconds, which is the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is reduced, and 14 seconds, which is the time when the weight indicated by the seasoning weight information is increased. Then, the time is set as the time when the seasoning is used (step S106). And the seasoning use weight information which is the information which has the use time "10 second", the temporarily stored seasoning identification information "soy sauce", and the calculated use weight "15g" in correlation is comprised. Then, the seasoning used weight information is passed to the seasoning used weight information output unit 15 (step S107). Then, the seasoning used weight information output unit 15 accumulates the received seasoning used weight information in the seasoning used weight information storage unit 16 (step S108). The first record in FIG. 6 shows seasoning use weight information accumulated in this way. With this information, it can be known that 15 g of soy sauce has been used at 10 seconds. After this, various seasonings are used and seasoning weight information is accumulated (steps S101 and S102), and seasoning identification information corresponding to the used seasonings is the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13. The processing that is received and temporarily stored (Steps S103 and S104) and the processing that generates and outputs the seasoning use weight information (Steps S105 to S108) are repeatedly executed, thereby using the seasoning use weight. It is assumed that seasoning use weight information shown in FIG. 6 is stored in the information storage unit 16.

  Next, processing for generating seasoning component information will be described. In this specific example, it is assumed that the seasoning information storage unit 17 stores the seasoning information shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, seasoning identification information, seasoning component identification information, and seasoning unit component amount information (assumed to be information per 100 g) are associated with each other. For example, according to the seasoning information shown in FIG. 7, “soy sauce” contains 80 calories per 100 g, 8 g protein per 100 g, 12 g carbohydrate per 100 g, and 6 g per 100 g. It can be seen that sodium is included.

  It is assumed that the user inputs an instruction to generate seasoning component information to the seasoning use weight calculation apparatus 1 by operating an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse. The instruction is received by the seasoning component information generation unit 18, and the seasoning component information generation unit 18 determines to generate seasoning component information (step S109).

  Then, the seasoning component information generation unit 18 reads the seasoning identification information “soy sauce” and the usage weight “15 g” from the first seasoning usage weight information shown in FIG. 6. Further, the seasoning component information generating unit 18 searches the seasoning information shown in FIG. 7 using the read seasoning identification information “soy sauce” as a search key, and the seasoning component corresponding to the searched “soy sauce”. The identification information and seasoning unit component amount information are read out. Then, by multiplying each value of the seasoning unit component amount information by 0.15, the value is converted to the component amount of the used weight “15 g”. This conversion can be calculated by multiplying the seasoning unit component amount information by a value obtained by dividing the read used weight by 100. As a result, the correspondence between the seasoning component identification information and the component amount is as follows.

Amount of heat: 12 kcal protein: 1.2 g
Lipid: 0
Carbohydrate: 1.8g
Sodium: 0.9g

  Thereafter, the seasoning component information generation unit 18 also sequentially adds the second seasoning use weight information, the third seasoning use weight information, etc. in FIG. 6 in the same manner as described above. And the correspondence between the component amounts. When the calculation of the seasoning component identification information and the component amount is completed for all seasoning use weight information, the seasoning component information generation unit 18 calculates the component amount for each component such as “calorie” and “protein”. Summing up and passing the seasoning component information thus generated to the seasoning component information output unit 19 (step S110). FIG. 8 is information indicating an example of the seasoning component information generated as described above. The seasoning component information output unit 19 outputs the seasoning component information received from the seasoning component information generation unit 18 (step S111). As described above, this output may be, for example, a display on a monitor connected to the seasoning used weight calculating apparatus 1. When the seasoning component information shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the monitor, the user can know the components included in the used seasonings and the amount of the components. As a result, it is possible to know how much salt or calories are consumed, and the information can be used for health management.

  Further, the user operates an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, accesses the seasoning used weight information stored in the seasoning used weight information storage unit 16, and displays the seasoning used weight information on the monitor. The contents of the seasoning use weight information can be known by printing or printing. As a result, it is possible to know the type and amount of the seasoning used, the timing when the seasoning was used, and the like.

  In this specific example, the seasoning weight information is stored every 2 seconds, but it goes without saying that other sampling frequencies may be used. For example, seasoning weight information may be accumulated every 1 second, and seasoning weight information may be accumulated every 3 seconds.

  As described above, according to the seasoning use weight calculating apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to automatically record which seasoning is used and how much. As a result, even when the seasoning is used while tasting, it is possible to know the amount of the seasoning used in cooking or the like. In addition, since the type and amount of seasoning can be recorded without forcing the person who makes the dish when using the seasoning, it can be done without burdening the person making the dish. There is an advantage that such a record can be taken. Moreover, about the seasoning taken in a meal, there also existed a problem that it was not able to be calculated from a recipe etc., but by using the seasoning use weight calculation apparatus 1 by this Embodiment, the seasoning ingested during a meal It will be possible to record the type and quantity of, and it will be useful for stricter health management. For example, a person with limited salt intake, a person with limited calorie intake, and the like can use the seasoning use weight calculation apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment to provide a more strict amount of intake salt or You will be able to know calorie intake.

  In addition, when the position of the seasoning container on the electronic balance is not limited as in the case of acquiring seasoning identification information using an RFID tag, the person who uses the seasoning uses the seasoning container as a seasoning. There is also an advantage that, after being lifted from the table, the seasoning container does not have to be returned to the original place, and the place to return the seasoning container need not be considered.

  Further, since the seasoning use weight information includes time information, it is possible to know in what order the seasonings were used. Then, when cooking next time or when another person cooks, information regarding the order of use of such seasonings can be used.

  In addition, by using the seasoning use weight calculating apparatus 1 in restaurants such as restaurants, it is possible to collect statistics on which seasonings are frequently used by customers who come to the store. And the improvement of the taste of cooking etc. can also be performed using the result.

In addition, the process (steps S201 and S202) in which the food material weight information receiving unit 21 receives the food material weight information and the food material weight information storage unit 22 stores the food material weight information in the recording medium is also a specific example of the first embodiment. The seasoning weight information receiving unit 11 receives the seasoning weight information, and the seasoning weight information storage unit 12 is similar to the process of storing the seasoning weight information in the recording medium, and the description thereof is omitted. In addition, the process of receiving the ingredient identification information by the ingredient identification information receiving unit 23 and temporarily storing the ingredient identification information in a recording medium (not shown) by the ingredient use weight information generating unit 24 (steps S203 and S204) is also described in the embodiment. In the specific example of FIG. 1, the seasoning identification information receiving unit 13 receives the seasoning identification information, and the seasoning used weight information generation unit 14 is similar to the process of temporarily storing the seasoning identification information in a recording medium (not shown). Therefore, the description is omitted.

  It is assumed that when the user starts cooking, the heating power of the cooking utensil is set to medium. Then, thermal power information “medium fire” is transmitted from the cooking utensil to the recipe generating device 5. The thermal power information receiving unit 25 receives the thermal power information and passes it to the recipe information output unit 26 (step S205). The recipe information output unit 26 temporarily stores the thermal power information in a recording medium (not shown) in association with the time when the thermal power information is received (step S206). The first record in FIG. 13 shows the thermal power information temporarily stored as described above. It can be seen that the thermal power information “medium fire” was accepted at time “0 seconds”. In this way, reception and accumulation of food weight information, reception and temporary storage of food identification information, and reception and temporary storage of thermal power information are sequentially executed. In this specific example, when the thermal power of the cooking utensil is changed, thermal power information indicating the thermal power after the change is received by the thermal power information receiving unit 25.

  Assume that the user uses beef in cooking. Then, the food use weight information generation unit 24 refers to the food material weight information accumulated by the food material weight information storage unit 22, and after the weight indicated by the food material weight information has decreased, the food material identification information receiving unit 23 receives the food material identification information “ It is determined that the used food weight information is generated when the weight information of the beef is increased after that (step S207), and the weight information of the food material after use is subtracted from the raw food weight information before use of the food material. Calculate the used weight. The use weight is assumed to be 130 g. At this time, the middle time between the time when the weight indicated by the food weight information decreases and the time when the weight indicated by the food weight information increases is acquired as the time when the food is used. It is assumed that this time is 2 seconds (step S208). Then, the food use weight information which is information having the time “2 seconds”, the temporarily stored food identification information “beef”, and the calculated use weight “130 g” in association with each other is configured. Ingredient use weight information is passed to the recipe information output unit 26 (step S209). The recipe information output unit 26 temporarily stores the food usage weight information in a recording medium (not shown) (step S210). The first record in FIG. 14 shows the food use weight information temporarily stored as described above. With this information, it can be known that 130 g of beef has been used at 2 seconds. After this, various ingredients are used, ingredients used weight information is generated, and the process of temporarily storing (steps S208 to S210) is repeatedly executed, whereby the recipe information output unit 26 records not shown. It is assumed that the food usage weight information temporarily stored in the medium is as shown in the table shown in FIG.

The instruction is received by the recipe information output unit 26, and the recipe information output unit 26 determines to output the recipe information (step S211). Then, the recipe information output unit 26 reads the seasoning used weight information shown in FIG. 6 from the seasoning used weight information storage unit 16 and temporarily stores it in the recording medium (not shown). And the foodstuff use weight information shown by FIG. 14 is read. And the recipe information which integrated them is comprised (step S212). The integration of such information is performed by sorting the records in ascending order of time. The recipe information output unit 26 accumulates the configured recipe information in the recipe information storage unit 27 (step S213). It is assumed that the recipe information accumulated in this way is as shown in FIG.

  It is assumed that the user accesses the recipe information shown in FIG. 15 stored in the recipe information storage unit 27 and displays the recipe information on the monitor by operating the input device.
