  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings for explaining the embodiments, common constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanation is omitted. The following embodiments do not unduly limit the contents of the present disclosure described in the claims. In addition, all the components shown in the embodiments are not necessarily essential components of the present disclosure.

<Outline of Embodiment>
The recipe proposal system according to the present embodiment is a system that can propose a suitable recipe based on various circumstances of each family and through consensus formation of the family.

  As recipe information (hereinafter referred to as recipe information) in the present embodiment, both recipe information in which cooking contents are described in quantitative expression and recipe information in which cooking contents are described in qualitative expression can be targets. Considering the cooking operation by the device 100, recipe information by quantitative expression is preferable.

  The quantitative expression corresponds to an explanation using specific numerical values regarding the work contents of the cooking process. More specifically, the explanation is based on expressions such as “bake meat for 20 minutes in an oven heated to 200 degrees”, “3 grams of salt”, and “warm potatoes for 5 minutes at 600 watts in a microwave oven”. The quantitative expression can be said to be an expression suitable for the control of the cooking apparatus 100 as described above because the work content using the cooking apparatus (tool) is specifically expressed by a numerical value.

  In recent years, various recipes have been released via the Internet, television, magazines, and the like. A series of cooking procedures are described in the published recipe, and general users can use these recipes.

  Such recipes are normally used to create dishes that are eaten by the user and their family. Therefore, if a suitable recipe according to each family preference, external environment, etc. is proposed, it will be a result that responds well to the needs of the family. In this way, an environment in which a high-quality recipe proposal can be easily received can help reduce the burden for housewives who cook daily and consider daily menus.

  However, even if it is possible to quickly decide a menu after receiving a recipe suggestion, the family may complain about the menu. On the other hand, on the part of the family, there are cases where claims are raised as very realistic requests based on changes in their physical condition and preferences, etc., and there are cases where the above-mentioned claims are not limited to just like and dislike. .

  Therefore, the recipe proposal system according to the present embodiment makes it possible to propose a suitable recipe based on the various circumstances of each family and through consensus formation of the family.

<Recipe information>
As an example of recipe information according to the present embodiment, recipe information consisting of a series of cooking steps that can be decoded by a cooking device, that is, recipe information described in a quantitative expression is assumed. The recipe information can be control information for controlling the cooking operation or the like in the cooking appliance, but such control itself is not essential in the present embodiment. Of course, in addition to presenting recipe information described in such a quantitative expression to the cook performer who is the user and his family, etc., if applied as control information for the cooking device 100, consensus building will take into account the various circumstances of each family. It is also possible to automatically cook a preferred dish, which is even more suitable.

  Note that when the device is controlled by the recipe information, the target device is a cooking material or a cooking device related to cooking using the cooking material (which may include a device that simply outputs information). The cooking appliance 100 given the recipe information in that case performs an action (processing) according to the recipe information. In the present specification, recipe information that can be read and decoded by the cooking device 100 is described as MRR (Machine Readable Recipe).

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of recipe information according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, recipe information that is MRR according to the embodiment is expressed by a graph (a directed graph) including a plurality of nodes and edges between the nodes. In FIG. 1, nodes are indicated by circles and edges are indicated by arrows.

  A plurality of nodes define a state transition of each material. An edge represents an action necessary for state transition between nodes. An action is a basic procedure that constitutes cooking. For example, a procedure such as “cut” or “warm” corresponds to the action. Further, the action includes a specific set temperature, cooking time, work content, etc. of the cooking device 100. The type of action and its ID are defined in advance, or an ID is given to the action type afterwards, a list of actions and their IDs is defined, and an action ID selected from this list is assigned to the edge The An ID may also be given to the state (intermediate node).

  The plurality of nodes in the graph are the starting point of the graph, the material node representing the ingredients of the dish, the end point of the graph, the cooking node representing the dish, and the state of the ingredients on the way to the dish Intermediate nodes to represent.

  Ingredients refer to ingredients for making dishes, but seasonings and those discarded in the course of cooking may also be included in the ingredients. The type of material and its ID are defined in advance, a list of materials and their IDs is defined, and a material ID selected from this list is assigned to the material node.

  The state of the material means the state after the action is applied, for example, “Material A cut into three equal parts”, “Material B cut into 3 cm square”, “Warmed material C”, etc. Corresponds to the state of the material.

  As described above, the data structure of the recipe information according to the embodiment does not express the description of the recipe text as a natural language as a graph, but expresses the state transition of each material as a graph.

  A material ID that uniquely identifies the material is assigned to each material, and an action ID that uniquely identifies the action is assigned to each action necessary for state transition. Therefore, the machine can decode the recipe information easily and reliably based on the ID.

  In addition, since it is not always necessary to specify the device on which the action is to be performed in the recipe information, it is easy to deal with various devices including new devices that will appear in the future. Furthermore, since each action is expressed as an edge, it is easy to extract each action from the recipe information.

  In addition, a partial graph obtained by removing some edges from the graph as shown in FIG. 1 and further removing some isolated nodes is a specific part of the cooking process shown in the recipe information. It can be regarded as recipe information of a cooking process in which the cooking equipment is controlled and cooked.

Table 1 shows the types of nodes in the recipe information according to the present embodiment.

For example, the attributes shown in Table 2 can be assigned to each node. Here, it is assumed that the node is a material node, and this material node represents “carrot”.

  The “name” is information necessary for a human to create and decode the MRR, and is not necessarily machine-readable.

Each edge can be given the attributes shown in Table 3 as the edge attributes.

  Here, a specific example of each node will be described. When creating the dish “salad”, the dish node is “salad”. The material nodes are, for example, “onion”, “cucumber”, “tomato”, “ketchup”, and “mayonnaise”. Each material node is given an ID that uniquely identifies the material.

  The material node “onion” is connected to the intermediate node “chopped onion” by “cut” which is an edge (action). The material node “cucumber” is connected to the intermediate node “1 cm square cucumber” by “cut” which is an edge (action).

  Furthermore, the material node “tomato” is connected to the intermediate node “1/2 tomato” by “cut” which is an edge (action). Furthermore, the material node “ketchup” and the material node “mayonnaise” are connected to the intermediate node “aurora source” by “mixing” which is an edge (action). Each of “Cut” and “Mix” is given an ID that uniquely identifies the action.

  Then, the intermediate nodes “chopped onion”, “1 cm square cucumber”, and “1/2 tomato” are connected to the cooking node “salad” by “putting” as an edge (action). Further, the intermediate node “Aurora sauce” is connected to the cooking node “salad” by “Kake” as an edge (action). Note that an ID for uniquely identifying an action is assigned to each of “pick up” and “pick”. In addition, the order between edges is set so that “put” is performed after “put”. In addition, instead of “pick”, an action of “Are” may be used.

<Description of Embodiment>
An embodiment of a recipe proposal system that uses the data structure described above will be described.

(Configuration of recipe proposal system 1)
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the recipe proposal system 1. With reference to FIG. 2, the structure of the recipe proposal system 1 is demonstrated.

  The recipe suggesting system 1 includes a cooking appliance 100, a terminal device 200, and a recipe suggesting server 300, and is connected to each other via a network NW so as to communicate with each other. The network NW includes a WAN (World Area Network), a LAN (Local Area Network), and the like. Moreover, the cooking appliance 100 may perform communication (for example, short-range wireless communication) directly with the terminal device 200 without going through the network NW. In FIG. 2, one cooking appliance 100 and one terminal device 200 are shown as representatives, but a plurality of cooking appliances 100 and terminal devices 200 may be connected to the network NW.

  The cooking device 100 has a communication function, and is a cooking material, a device related to cooking using the cooking material, or a device existing in a kitchen space. The cooking device 100 may be a household electrical appliance used in the home, or may be a business device.

  The cooking device 100 may be any device as long as it is a material, a device related to cooking using the material, or a device existing in the kitchen space. For example, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, an oven, an electromagnetic cooker, Toaster, food processor, mixer, rice cooker, electric pan, electric fryer, electric steamer, noodle making machine, measuring instrument, cooking robot, gas cooker, lighting, etc.

  In addition, the cooking device 100 receives the above-described recipe information, that is, MRR from the recipe proposal server 300, and automatically executes the cooking operation based on the recipe information. Further, the recipe information may be output and presented to the user.

  The terminal device 200 is a device that has a communication function and provides a user interface. The terminal device 200 posts (sends) recipe information (recipe text, cooking image data, etc.) to the recipe proposal server 300 in accordance with a user operation. In addition, the above recipe information is received from the recipe proposal server 300, and based on this, the recipe information is output and presented to the user. This terminal device 200 can be held or operated by a housewife who leads cooking based on recipe information and the family of the housewife.

  The terminal device 200 is an information processing terminal, for example, a mobile terminal (for example, a tablet, a smartphone, a laptop, a feature phone, a portable game machine, an electronic book reader, etc.). Alternatively, the terminal device 200 may be a television receiver (including Internet television), a PC (Personal Computer), a VR (Virtual Reality) terminal, an AR (Augmented Reality) terminal, or the like.

  On the other hand, the recipe suggesting server 300 stores the recipe information posted from the terminal device 200 in the recipe information DB 331 and, based on each condition of the family including the housewife who uses such recipe information and its environment, the recipe in the recipe information DB 331. A recipe candidate having an attribute that matches the above-described conditions is specified from the group.

  Among the above-mentioned conditions, the conditions related to the family are age group, gender, hobby, exercise history, constitution, mood, physical condition, schedule for the next day, favorite cooking genre (eg Japanese and Western), history / frequency of past meal menu As an example, it is possible to assume such things as chronic illness, hospital visit history, and medication history. However, these are only examples, and various other events can be applied.

  Moreover, the conditions regarding the environment of the family can be assumed as an example of the residential area, the weather, indoor / outdoor temperature / humidity, food stock status, cooking equipment 100 specifications, and the like. However, these are only examples, and various other events can be applied.

  In addition, the recipe proposal server 300 shall collect each information regarding the above-mentioned family and environment from the cooking appliance 100 thru | or the terminal device 200 via the network NW. The information collected here can be assumed to be information detected by appropriate sensors included in the cooking appliance 100 to the terminal device 200 or input by family members who operate the cooking appliance 100 to the terminal device 200.

  In addition, the recipe proposal server 300 uses, for example, a determination logic DB 334 when specifying recipe candidates. This determination logic DB 334 can assume, for example, a predetermined point corresponding to the degree of match with each dish for the above-described items of the family and environment conditions. Details of the determination logic DB 334 will be described later.

  The recipe proposal server 300 matches the above-described determination logic DB 334 with the values of the above-mentioned family and environment conditions to identify points, and totals the points for each dish. In addition, the recipe proposal server 300 identifies a predetermined number of recipes as recipe candidates in descending order of the total points obtained by the aggregation.

  Moreover, the recipe proposal server 300 outputs the information of the identified recipe candidate to the terminal device 200 or the cooking appliance 100 via the network NW. At this time, the recipe proposal server 300 relates to the above-mentioned total points (the degree of coincidence between the attributes of the recipe and the above-mentioned family and environment conditions) and the determination logic that has obtained the total points for each of the above-mentioned recipe candidates. Output together with information.

  The above-mentioned “information about the determination logic” assumes, for example, an item obtained at a predetermined level in the determination logic DB 334 described above. In other words, this is a value indicating what item the candidate for the recipe has been selected after being evaluated.

  Moreover, the recipe proposal server 300 acquires the intention of each family including the housewife with respect to the above-described recipe candidates, for example, from the terminal device 200 or the cooking appliance 100 via the network NW. In this case, the family members who browse the information on the above-mentioned recipe candidates on the terminal device 200 or the cooking device 100 operate the terminal device 200 or the cooking device 100 to determine whether or not the recipe candidate is (can be created). Will be notified to the recipe proposal server 300.

  Recipe suggestion server 300 specifies a recipe candidate for which consensus has been formed between the families based on the intention obtained from the family as a selected recipe. The “candidate recipe for which consensus is formed between the family members” refers to, for example, a recipe candidate that has collected the most positive intentions.

  In addition, the recipe proposal server 300 can accept a correction instruction from any of the family regarding the determination logic output together with the recipe candidate from the terminal device 200 or the cooking appliance 100 via the network NW. For example, this correction instruction can be assumed to specify an increase / decrease in the degree of importance with respect to “items that have obtained points of a predetermined level” indicated as determination logic.

  More specifically, a “30% increase” in terms of the “physical condition” item from a family member who thinks that “it will have a big influence on tomorrow's behavior depending on the current physical condition” It is possible to assume a situation in which an increase / decrease designation indicating that it is a point is received. Or, from a family member who thinks that “weather is not relevant for today's family who wants to enjoy cooking for celebrations”, “Ignore” is specified to increase or decrease the “weather” item. Can be assumed.

  In this case, the recipe proposal server 300 reflects the increase / decrease designation as a correction instruction on the points of the corresponding item, and recounts the points for each dish. That is, the degree of coincidence is re-determined. The recipe proposal server 300 also outputs the total points as the degree of coincidence re-determined in this way and each information of the determination logic reflecting the above-described correction instruction.

  In addition, the recipe proposal server 300 collates at least the characteristics of the recipe candidate among the above-described recipe candidate characteristics and family attributes with, for example, the recommended action DB 335, and specifies the action content having a predetermined correspondence with the characteristics. . This recommended behavior DB 335 is, for example, walking, light as a recommended behavior for a family after taking / before taking the food with respect to the characteristics of the food such as total calories, family attributes such as obesity and no exercise habits. It will hold jogging, swimming, stretching before going to bed, and so on. Details of this will be described later.

  In addition, the recipe suggesting server 300 uses the information on the action content specified as described above as the action information recommended for the above-described family when the recipe candidate is adopted, through the terminal device 200 or the cooking via the network NW. The data is transmitted to the device 100 and output. The family members who have browsed this can determine whether or not a recipe candidate is possible, taking into consideration that specific actions are recommended.

  On the other hand, the cooking device 100 or the terminal device 200 displays the information on the output device in accordance with the delivery of information such as the above-described recipe candidate and its determination logic, information on recommended actions, or information on the selected recipe. In addition, when the information of this selection recipe is MRR, it can also be assumed that the cooking device 100 starts a cooking operation according to the MRR.

  However, when the information of the selected recipe is output only by the terminal device 200 or the cooking appliance 100 and not intended for automatic execution of the cooking operation by the cooking appliance 100 based on the MRR, the above-described MRR of the cooking appliance 100 is used. The series of actions based on can be omitted.

Among these, the recipe candidate specifying unit 311 is based on, for example, a recipe proposal request received from the terminal device 200 or the cooking appliance 100 via the communication unit 320, and based on each condition of the family including the user and the environment, the recipe information DB 331. A recipe candidate having an attribute that matches each of the above-described conditions is identified from each recipe information.

  In this case, the recipe candidate specifying unit 311 performs a search for the corresponding information in the user information DB 332 and the environment information DB 333 based on the user identification information indicated by the above-mentioned recipe proposal request, and information obtained by this search, that is, the family and Among items of environment information, items corresponding to the above-described conditions are collated with the determination logic DB 334 to identify recipe candidates.

  Note that the recipe information DB 331 described above stores a plurality of recipe information as illustrated in FIG. For example, recipe information posted by the user, recipe information created in advance by the operator of the recipe proposal system 1, and the like are stored. Each recipe information may include a recipe evaluation and a comment by a user using the recipe information.

  The recipe information DB 331 may include recipe information in which quantitative expressions associated with qualitative expressions are described as a set, in addition to MRR-format recipe information. For example, qualitative expression “scent” is accompanied by quantitative expressions “600 watts” and “3 minutes”, such as “baked garlic until I scent for 3 minutes in an IH cooker 600 watts”. , Recipe information written in a set. In addition, for example, for a cooking process described in qualitative expression, a user who actually cooks commented on the setting of a specific cooking appliance, or given a quantitative expression by the operator of the recipe proposal system 1 It may be done.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the user information DB 332 includes, for example, each user's name, age group, sex, hobby, exercise history, constitution, mood, physical condition, next day schedule, favorite cooking genre (eg, Japanese and Western). Middle), past meal menu history / frequency, chronicity, hospital visit history, medication history, and the like can be assumed. Each record in the user information DB 332 corresponds to the user information 231.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the environment information DB 333 can be assumed as an example of, for example, a residential area and its weather, indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity, food stock status, and specifications of the cooking device 100 in each family. . Each record of the environment information DB 333 corresponds to the environment information 232.
