and S04, recommending the menu information to the user.

By adopting the method for recommending the menu provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the user type can be matched according to the detected change information of the food in the refrigerator, and the menu information suitable for the user type is recommended to the user according to the changed food, so that the user experience is improved.

Optionally, the change information of the food in the refrigerator includes increased/decreased food, time of depositing/taking out the food.

Optionally, obtaining the user type according to the variation information of the food in the refrigerator includes: and matching the user types corresponding to the time for obtaining the food storage/taking according to the preset corresponding relation.

Optionally, the corresponding user type is obtained according to the matching of the food storing/taking time in the food change information. Optionally, the food storage/retrieval time in the food change information is matched with a preset user type database shown in table 1 to obtain a corresponding user type.

Time of food storage/retrieval	Type of user
		8:00 to 18:00 on Monday to Friday	Old people
18:00 to 22:00 on Monday to Friday	Young people

TABLE 1

Alternatively, elderly people are over 60 years old, and young people are 22 to 59 years old.

Alternatively, after the refrigerator door is opened/closed, information on changes of food in the refrigerator is detected.

Optionally, detecting food in the refrigerator to obtain food change information includes: detecting the increased/decreased food in the refrigerator according to the on/off state of the refrigerator and recording the time for storing/taking out the food to obtain the change information of the food.

Optionally, matching corresponding recipe information from a preset recipe database according to the food change information includes:

and matching the food change information with a preset menu database to obtain all dishes which correspond to the user types and contain the food change information.

Optionally, the food change information, for example, the lean pork is taken out at 11:00 am on monday, the user is matched with the preset menu database as shown in table 2 as an old through a preset user type database, and then the matched food change information is matched with the user type of the old through the preset menu database, wherein the material in the preset menu database corresponds to the menu name of the lean pork, and the matched food change information corresponds to the user type of the old, so that menu information, such as the shredded black fungus, the shredded pork with a fragrant smell and the like, and the corresponding method is obtained. For example, the shredded pork with fish flavor corresponds to practice 6, and comprises: the method comprises the steps of cutting pork into shreds, pickling, cutting scallion into small sections, preparing seasonings, frying the pork shreds and the scallion by heating a pot and frying for 5 minutes with strong fire.

Therefore, the corresponding user type can be effectively matched according to the time when the user takes out food, and the corresponding menu information can be matched according to the user type and the food taken out of the refrigerator, so that the recommended menu information is more in line with the preference of the user.

TABLE 2

Optionally, the recommending the menu information to the user includes: displaying menu information through a display screen of the refrigerator; or the menu information is sent to a handheld terminal device of the user, such as a mobile phone.

Optionally, the method for recipe recommendation further comprises: acquiring a user instruction; and carrying out voice playing on the menu information according to the user instruction.

Optionally, the pig fat intestines are taken out at 20:00 monday night according to the food change information, the user type is a young person according to a preset user type database, and the menu information of the fire-exploded fat intestines is displayed through a display screen of a refrigerator. When the user determines that the fire-exploded sausage is to be made, namely the method of selecting the fire-exploded sausage is to be selected, the user can click the 'fire-exploded sausage' correspondingly displayed on the display screen or send out a voice command of the 'fire-exploded sausage', and then the method 9 corresponding to the fire-exploded sausage is displayed on the display screen or played in voice.
