Description

  The present invention relates to a management system that performs management mainly on a single dish on which foods and drinks having different prices are placed, such as sushi material for rotating sushi. More specifically, the present invention provides voice recognition for food and drink provision that performs voice input with voice recognition when providing food and drink, and can perform management appropriately by suppressing erroneous input and erroneous recognition during the voice input. It relates to a type management system.

  As a technique related to a general food and drink provision management system, a technique applied to so-called conveyor belt sushi is known. An example of a management system for rotating sushi is as follows. This management system associates an identifier (ID) of an IC tag attached to a sushi plate (single item plate) with a different price with a sushi item (food or drink) placed on the sushi plate by an information processing device. Perform management. This management system also includes a keyboard as input means for inputting the type of sushi material (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the case of the management system according to Patent Document 1, there is an advantage that profits can be automatically calculated in real time by identifying and patterning sushi dishes and collecting data. On the other hand, since a keyboard is used as the input means, the installation of the keyboard and the input operation are problematic in securing hygiene for rotating sushi handling fresh food.

  For such a problem, it is considered effective to use a voice recognition technology that allows hands-free input. And the related technique of such a voice recognition type management system for food and drink provision is also proposed. For example, a food and drink container providing device has been proposed that can avoid the occurrence of troubles and disadvantages between the store clerk and food and drink by eliminating errors in arrangement (see, for example, Patent Document 2). ). In addition, a management system in a rotating dining table that can perform various data management by associating tableware such as a dish on which food is placed and the amount for each type of food, and perform freshness management for each food has been proposed (for example, (See Patent Document 3).

  Hereinafter, as an application example of the voice recognition type management system for providing food and drink according to the present invention, a voice recognition type management system for rotating sushi using food and drink as sushi and a single dish as a sushi plate will be described.

[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a basic configuration of a sushi voice recognition management system (hereinafter abbreviated as a management system) according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

  This management system includes a control device (computer) 1, a display device 2, an IC tag reading device 3, and a voice input device 4 that operate by program control as basic components.

  The IC tag reader 3 uses identifiers (hereinafter referred to as IDs) of IC tags attached to a plurality of types of sushi dishes 6a to 6c that are placed on the conveyor 5 in a state where sushi items with different prices are placed. Has a reading table for reading. This reading table has a certain reading range. The IC tag reading device 3 sends the read ID to the control device 1. The IC tag reader 3 also continues to read the IC tag when a sushi plate exists within the reading range. Here, in order to simplify the explanation, three types of sushi plates 6a to 6c are shown, but it goes without saying that the sushi plates are not limited thereto.

  The voice input device 4 includes a microphone for voice input of the type of sushi material corresponding to each sushi plate 6a to 6c. The voice input device 4 inputs sushi material spoken by a sushi chef, and the connection with the control device 1 may be either wired or wireless. In addition, voice input can be performed using a communication line like VoIP (Voice Over IP). In this case, voice input is performed from the communication control unit 15 described later.

  The control device 1 is obtained by voice recognition of the type of sushi material by voice inputted by the voice input device 4, and the ID of the IC tag for each sushi plate 6a to 6c read by the IC tag reading device 3. To perform predetermined information processing, for example, sales management. The display device 2 displays information necessary for management in the control device 1, for example.

  In addition, the control apparatus 1 is the voice input device 4 only while the IC tag reading device 3 is reading the ID of the IC tag in the sushi plates 6a to 6c (sushi plate 6b in FIG. 1) placed on the reading table. Is used for information processing by performing speech recognition of the type of sushi material input by.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of the management system. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the basic structure of the sushi dishes 6a, 6b, 6c in which the IC tag 8 to be read by the IC tag reader 3 is built. The IC tag 8 has a unique ID for each sushi plate.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a correspondence table showing some examples of correspondence relationships between IDs, sushi plate types, sushi material prices, sushi material types stored in the database 14 included in the control device 1. is there.

  In FIG. 4, the database 14 distinguishes the sushi plates 6a, 6b, 6c according to the price of the sushi material (100 yen, 200 yen, 300 yen), and the sushi dishes 6a, 6b. , 6c, the ID tag IDs (00001 to 10000, 10001 to 20000, 20001 to 30000) of the IC tag 8 are registered. Of course, in the case of an expensive sushi material, only one sushi material may be registered in the sushi plate.

  The IC tag reader 3 can collectively read the ID of the IC tag 8 from the plurality of sushi dishes 6a to 6c existing in the reading range. In this case, the control device 1 can sequentially associate the IDs of a plurality of IC tags sent from the IC tag reading device 3.

  The control device 1 includes a control unit 11, an A / D conversion unit 12, a voice recognition unit 13, a database 14, and a communication control unit 15. The A / D converter 12 converts a voice input by an analog signal input from the voice input device 4 into a digital signal. The voice recognition unit 13 recognizes the type of sushi material from the voice input by the digital signal sent via the control unit 11. The recognized result is sent to the control unit 11. In the database 14, a correspondence table of IDs, sushi plate types, sushi material prices, and sushi material types as described in FIG. 4 is registered in advance. The database 14 also stores voice recognition results and association results described later.

  The control unit 11 controls the voice recognition unit 13 to start voice recognition in response to the input of the ID of the IC tag 8 in the sushi dishes 6a to 6c read by the IC tag reading device 3, and the correspondence in the database 14 With reference to the relationship table, the appropriateness of the association between the sushi plates 6a to 6c and the sushi material by voice recognition is determined.

  The voice recognition unit 13 starts to operate under the control of the control unit 11. Here, the start of the speech recognition operation means that the speech recognition unit 13 recognizes the input speech and outputs a recognition result. On the other hand, the end of the speech recognition operation means that the speech recognition unit 13 does not recognize or recognizes the input speech, but does not output the recognition result. The operation start timing of the voice recognition unit 13 is when the IC tag reader 3 starts reading the ID of the IC tag 8 and when the sushi plate is placed within the reading range of the IC tag reader 3. . While the IC tag reader 3 continues to read the IC tag 8, the voice recognition unit 13 is operating. The timing of the end of the operation is when the IC tag reading device 3 stops reading the ID of the IC tag 8, that is, when the sushi plate is removed from the reading range of the IC tag reading device 3.

  The communication control unit 15 is for communicating with another control device or a host device during information processing by the control unit 11 for associating the IDs of the IC tags 8 in the sushi dishes 6a to 6c. That is, in the first embodiment, the management system including the control device 1, the display device 2, the IC tag reading device 3, and the voice input device 4 is used not only in the counter inside the transfer conveyor 5 but also in a kitchen in another place. I also try to install it. This is because sushi and the like that cannot be cooked by the counter are cooked in the kitchen so that the same management can be performed in the kitchen. In this case, the communication control unit 15 is necessary to share the association information with each management system. Alternatively, when a host device for supervising the plurality of management systems is provided, it is also used for communication with the host device. Such connection may be wired or wireless.

  The control unit 11 registers the ID of the IC tag 8 in the corresponding sushi plate 6a to 6c in the database 14 in association with the type of the sushi material based on the result of the speech recognition when it is appropriate as a result of the appropriateness determination of the association. After that, it is used for predetermined management, and the registration result is displayed on the display device 2. In addition, when the result of association is not appropriate, the control unit 11 causes voice input of the sushi material type by the voice input device 4 to be performed again, and the result of the association reaches an appropriate value so that the sushi dishes 6a to 6c are ICs. Control is performed so that the voice recognition by the voice recognition unit 13 is terminated when it is removed from the reading range of the tag reading device 3. That is, the display device 2 here functions as a notification means for notifying the result of the appropriateness determination of the association by the control unit 11.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of management operation in the control device 1.

[Operation of the first embodiment]
Depending on the type of sushi, the sushi plate used varies depending on the type of sushi. Using this fact, the sushi material that can be associated with the ID unique to the sushi plate is limited, and the association due to misrecognition is suppressed.

  As described in FIG. 4, the ID of the IC tag 8 attached to the sushi plate 6a is selected from 00001 to 10000, and the ID of the IC tag 8 attached to the sushi plate 6b is selected from 10001 to 20000. The ID of the IC tag 8 attached to the sushi plate 6c is selected from 20001 to 30000. Here, by registering the types of sushi items on each sushi plate, the sushi items that can be associated by ID are limited. Here, the sushi items that can be associated with the sushi plate 6a are tuna, squid, octopus, and so on. Similarly, the sushi plate 6b is medium toro, negi tro, salmon, and so on, and the sushi plate 6c is large toro, Sea urchin, salmon roe ...

  The operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when a sushi plate is placed in the reading range of the IC tag reader 3, the IC tag 8 attached to the sushi plate is read (step A1). The ID of the read IC tag 8 is output to the database 14 via the control unit 11. When a plurality of the same sushi dishes are placed, the IDs of the read IC tags 8 are similarly output to the database 14.

  Next, as a result of the IC tag reading device 3 reading the IC tag 8, the voice recognition unit 13 starts operating by the control unit 11, and the input voice can be recognized (step A2).

  For example, when the sushi plate 6b is placed in the reading range of the IC tag reader 3, the control unit 11 causes the display device 2 to display the sushi plate 6b as shown in the display content 23 of FIG. 7 based on the ID. The display content 23 prompts the sushi chef to input sushi material. When the sushi plate 6 a and the sushi plate 6 c are placed, the corresponding sushi plate is displayed in the display content 23. When a plurality of the same sushi plates are placed, the display content 23 displays the number of sushi plates.

  When the sushi chef speaks sushi material to the voice input device 4 (step A3), the recognition result of the sushi material by the voice recognition unit 13 is output to the database 14 via the control unit 11. For example, if “Nakatoro” is input as a voice, the recognition result is output.

  The control unit 11 compares the correlation between the ID of the IC tag 8 read by the IC tag reading device 3 and the output result of the voice recognition by the voice recognition unit 13 with the correspondence table of FIG. 4 (step A4). If the association is correct, the association is performed and registered in the database 14 (step A6). When a plurality of the same sushi plates are placed, they are linked together.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of association information registered in the database 14. The database 14 registers ID, that is, association information between sushi plates and sushi material, and this is used for processing such as sales aggregation. Here, in addition to the association information between the sushi plate and the sushi material, by registering the association time, that is, the time when the sushi was held, and the name of the person in charge, it is used for sushi freshness management and disposal management. Is possible.

  After step A6, the display device 24 displays the display content 24 of FIG. For example, when the output result of the voice recognition unit 13 is “medium toro”, “medium toro” is displayed in the display content 24. If the association is wrong, the mistake is displayed on the display device 2 (step A5), and the user is prompted to perform voice input again.

  For example, when the sushi plate 6b is placed, the sushi items that can be associated are Nakatoro, Negitro, Salmon, and so on. At this time, if the sushi chef mistakenly inputs “Dai Toro” and the voice recognition unit 13 outputs the recognition result of “Dai Toro”, this is incorrectly associated. In this case, the display device 2 displays that the association is incorrect as shown in the display content 25 of FIG. In addition, the sushi chef uttered “Nakatoro”, but the same applies when the speech recognition unit 13 outputs the recognition result of “Dai Toro” due to erroneous input due to noise, etc., or misrecognition due to incorrect utterance. Displays that the association is incorrect. In this way, incorrect association can be suppressed by registering sushi dishes that can be associated and limiting association according to the type of sushi material.

  The sushi chef confirms whether or not the association has been made correctly by the display content 24 of the display device 2 (step A7). When “Nakatoro” is inputted as a voice and “Middle Toro” is displayed on the display content 24, the association is correctly performed. On the other hand, it is assumed that “Nakatoro” is uttered but “Negitoro” is displayed in the display content 24. This is because the sushi chef uttered “Nakatoro”, but the voice recognition unit 13 output the recognition result of “Negitoro” due to erroneous input due to noise, etc., or misrecognition due to incorrect speech. It is. Sushi items that can be associated with the sushi plate 6b are Nakatoro, Negitro, Salmon, and so on. Therefore, both sushi plate 6b and Negitoro can be associated with each other. For this reason, there is a possibility of being misrecognized against the intention of a sushi chef. However, even when an unintended association is performed, the display content 24 of the display device 2 can be confirmed in step A7, so that correction can be made by the sushi chef performing voice input again. In this case, steps A3 to A6 are executed again, and the correctly associated data is overwritten with the previous erroneously associated data.

  When the sushi chef removes the sushi plate from the reading range of the IC tag reader 3 (step A8), the operation of the voice recognition unit 13 ends (step A9). Finally, the sushi plate is placed on the conveyer 5 or provided to the customer (step A10). Here, the determination of “correct” in step A7 is made here when the sushi plate is removed from the reading range of the IC tag reader 3. Alternatively, the “correct” determination may be performed when there is no voice input again even after a predetermined time has elapsed in the confirmation operation on the display device 2.

  As described above, the voice recognition unit 13 operates only when the sushi plate is placed in the reading range of the IC tag reader 3 and the IC tag 8 is read, so that noise, conversation, etc. Therefore, it is possible to suppress erroneous input to the voice input device 4.

  Also, by registering sushi dishes that can be associated according to the type of sushi material and limiting the association, erroneous association due to erroneous input or erroneous recognition can be suppressed.

  When inputting by voice, there is a possibility that erroneous input or erroneous recognition may be performed due to noise or conversation, and the sushi chef becomes anxious about whether the input and association have been performed correctly. On the other hand, by using the confirmation means called the display device 2, it is possible to confirm whether or not the association is correctly performed, and the anxiety can be resolved.

  Consider the operation of grasping sushi, placing it on a sushi plate, and finally placing the sushi plate within the reading range of the IC tag reader 3, and performing voice input, association, and confirmation of association. In this case, if the association is wrong, it is necessary to input the sushi material again, confirm the association and the association, and the provision to the customer will be delayed. Therefore, put the sushi plate within the reading range of the IC tag reader 3, input the sushi material with the voice input device 4, grasp the sushi while checking the association of the sushi material with the display device 2, and sushi on the sushi plate 6 Prosper. Even if the association is wrong, it is possible to re-associate while holding the sushi and continuing to work on the sushi plate, so it is not necessary to delay the provision to the customer.

  By placing a plurality of the same sushi dishes on the IC tag reader 3 and inputting the voice, the association can be performed collectively. In the case of rotating sushi, it is effective to hold the same sushi material together and place it on the conveyor 5 for conveyance.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Referring to FIG. 8, in the management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the configuration of the control device 1-1 is different from the configuration of the control device 1 in the first embodiment. That is, the control device 1-1 includes a speech synthesis unit 16 and a D / A conversion unit 17 in addition to the control unit 11, the A / D conversion unit 12, the speech recognition unit 13, the database 14, and the communication control unit 15. . The management system also includes an audio output device 18.

  The speech synthesizer 16 performs speech synthesis of the recognition result by the speech recognizer 13 and outputs it. The D / A converter 17 converts the voice synthesis digital signal output from the voice synthesizer 16 into an analog signal.

  The audio output device 18 is a speaker, headphones, or the like that outputs an analog signal for voice synthesis from the D / A conversion unit 17, and the connection with the control device 1-1 may be either wired or wireless.

  The operation of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 9, the same step number is attached | subjected to the same step as the flowchart of FIG. When the sushi plate 6b is placed in the reading range of the IC tag reader 3 after step A1, the control unit 11 identifies the ID, and then causes the voice synthesizer 15 to generate a voice prompting the user to input the sushi material. Output from the audio output device 18. In step A4, if the association is wrong, the voice output device 18 outputs, for example, “wrong” in the synthesized voice (step B5), and prompts for re-input. In step A6, the speech recognition result and the ID of the IC tag 8 are associated with each other, and in step B7, the speech recognition result is output as synthesized speech from the speech output device 18 for confirmation. Here, for example, if the sushi chef uttered “Nakatoro” as described in Step A7 in FIG. 5 but was recognized as “Negitoro”, the synthesized speech of “Negitoro” in Step B7. Is output, the sushi chef knows that the speech recognition was a misrecognition. In this case, the process returns to step A3 and voice input is performed again. Of course, the output of step B5 and the confirmation of step B7 may be used in combination with the display device 2. That is, in the case of step B5, an error is pointed out on the display screen 25 by the display device 2 as in the first embodiment. Steps other than Steps B5 and B7 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. However, the determination of “correct” in step B7 is the same as in the first embodiment.

  As described above, the second embodiment differs from the operation of the first embodiment in that the audio output device 18 is used separately from the display device 2 as means for confirming the association. This saves the trouble of visually confirming the display content of the display device 2. In other words, the sushi chef's operations increase by looking at the display device 2 and performing confirmation. In contrast, in the second embodiment, the sushi chef can check the association in a natural operation by using the audio output device 18.

  The food recognition voice recognition management system according to the present invention places a single dish in the reading range of the IC tag reader and reads the identifier of the IC tag attached to the single dish between the IC tag reader and the control device. Only during the time of communication, the voice recognition about the type of food from the voice input device is performed for information processing. Thereby, in management accompanied by voice input at the time of providing food and drink, erroneous input and erroneous recognition due to noise and the like can be suppressed easily and inexpensively, and predetermined management (for example, sales management) can be performed appropriately.

  In addition, this food-recognition-provided voice recognition management system, when the result of determining the appropriateness of the association between the single dish and the food / drink by the voice recognition by the control device is appropriate, The identifier of the IC tag in the corresponding single dish is registered in the database in association with it, and is used for, for example, sales counting. On the other hand, when the determined result is not appropriate, the input person is immediately notified via the display device or the voice output device, and the voice input about the type of food or drink by the voice input device is performed again. Then, the control is executed so that the voice recognition is terminated when the result of the association is appropriate and the single dish is removed from the reading range of the IC tag reader. In this case, since the association of food and drink with respect to a single dish can be limited and the adequacy can be maintained based on the result of the association appropriateness determination, erroneous association due to erroneous input or erroneous recognition can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, this food-recognition-provided voice recognition type management system can perform association in a lump by placing a plurality of the same single dishes on the IC tag reader and performing voice input. In the case of revolving sushi, this is more effective because the same sushi material is held together and placed on a conveyor for conveyance.

  The present invention can be applied to all food-recognition voice recognition management systems for food and drink other than sushi, for example, other food and drinks that require hands-free.
