Detailed Description

(1) Summary of the invention

The drawings described in the following embodiments are schematic drawings, and the ratio of the size and thickness of each component in each drawing does not necessarily reflect the actual dimensional ratio.

An information presentation method according to an aspect of the present embodiment is a method of presenting any one presentation information a1 (see fig. 4) from among a plurality of presentation information a1 to the user 5. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the "presentation information" includes meal information relating to meal, and particularly, the meal information includes information relating to a cooking menu, a combination of cooking menus, or the like. It is assumed that the meal information includes information on a recipe (cooking recipe) and information on a convenient ready meal or an out meal (store information of a restaurant or the like) in addition to the cooking menu. Hereinafter, regardless of the number of items of the menu (either one item or a plurality of items), the cooking menu and the recipe are simply referred to as "recipe", and the proposal related to the presentation information a1 may be referred to as "recipe proposal".

The prompt a1 is not limited to containing meal information relating to a meal. The presentation information a1 may include information related to music, books, images, and the like instead of meals. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that meal information for a long period of time, such as the current day, the next day, or a week or a month, is provided by an information presentation method.

The information prompting method comprises a1 st decision step, a1 st prompting step, a 2 nd decision step and a 2 nd prompting step.

In the 1 st decision step, a plurality of intermediate words B1 are decided based on the condition information C1 (see fig. 3B) associated with the user 5 (see fig. 1). Here, a case where the information presentation method is used focusing on a family of a certain house 200 will be described as an example. That is, the information presentation method is used in units of a group G1 (one family) including a plurality of users 5 (mother 50, father 53, child 51, and grandfather 52). However, the number of users 5 is not particularly limited, and the information presentation method may be used in units of one user, or in units of an organization or a group.

The "condition information" described here is information (acquisition information) relating to at least one of a user status, an inventory status, and an environmental status, and is used to determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. The information on the user condition is, for example, information on a place (location) where the user 5 is currently located, information on a health state of the user 5, and the like. The information on the stock status is, for example, information on the type and management period (specifically, the consumption period, the eating period, and the like) of the food stored in (a freezer/refrigerator of) the house 200. The information related to the environmental condition is, for example, information related to the ambient environment of the house 200 or the temperature, humidity, season, or the like around the user 5.

In the 1 st presentation step, the user 5 is presented with the plurality of intermediate words B1 so as to select one or more intermediate words B1 from the plurality of intermediate words B1. In the present embodiment, the plurality of intermediate words B1 are output (presented) to the output unit 25 of the presentation device 2 corresponding to an information terminal owned (carried by, for example) by the user 5.

The "information terminal" described here is, for example, a smartphone or a tablet terminal. It is assumed that the "presentation" is performed by, for example, screen output from a display unit 25A (see fig. 4) including a touch panel type liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. However, the presentation device 2 is not limited to a portable terminal, and may be a stationary personal computer, for example. The "presentation" is not limited to the screen output, and may be performed by voice output instead of or in addition to the screen output. For example, the presentation apparatus 2 may be an intelligent speaker to which an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique is applied, a so-called AI speaker. The prompting device 2 may also be an intelligent television. If the presentation device 2 is not a portable terminal, it may be installed in a kitchen or the like in the house 200.

In the 2 nd decision step, the presentation information a1 corresponding to the one or more intermediate words B1 selected by the user 5 is decided among the plurality of presentation information a 1. In the 2 nd prompting step, the determined prompting information a1 is prompted to the user 5. The 2 nd presentation step also presents the determined presentation information a1 from the presentation device 2 that is basically the same as the presentation device 2 that presented the plurality of intermediate words B1 in the 1 st presentation step. As an example of the presentation information a1 (meal information), the presentation information a1 may include information (text information and image information) related to a cooking menu such as "salad oil". The presentation information a1 may include information (text information and image information) related to a recipe (cooking recipe) of "salad oil plants", for example.

The prompting targets prompted in the 1 st prompting step and the 2 nd prompting step may also be different. For example, the prompt in the 1 st prompting step is performed by a smart phone owned by the user 5, and the prompt in the 2 nd prompting step is performed by a smart television owned by the user 5. The presentation information a1 presented in the 2 nd presentation step is not limited to one, and may be a plurality of.

Here, each of the plurality of intermediate words B1 is a word associated with an attribute D1 (see fig. 3C) related to one or more presentation information a1 among the plurality of presentation information a 1. The presentation information a1 (meal information) may include a plurality of attributes D1 such as "food material" necessary for cooking a menu, "cooking time" of a cooking menu, "temperature" of a cooking menu, and "season (time period)" for creating a cooking menu, for example. For example, if the attribute D1 is a food material, the interword B1 includes a word such as "rape" indicating the name of the food material. Further, if the attribute D1 is the cooking time, the intermediate word B1 includes such a word as "time short" (can be made immediately) associated according to the cooking time. Note that, although the description has been given here with regard to the "temperature" information of the attribute D1 assuming that the temperature of the menu itself is to be cooked, the "temperature" information may be an outside air temperature suitable for cooking the menu. For example, in the attribute "temperature" of the cooking menu of "pan", a condition of the outside air temperature such that a feeling of severe cold is felt may be set (for example, in the case where the outside air temperature is 13 degrees or less, and the temperature is decreased by-5 degrees or more on the same day or the previous day).

According to the information presentation method of the present embodiment, since the plurality of intermediate words B1 are determined and presented based on the condition information C1 associated with the user 5 (see fig. 1), the user 5 presents the presentation information a1 only by selecting the intermediate word B1 of interest from the plurality of intermediate words B1. That is, unlike patent document 1, there is no trouble that the user 5 himself/herself inputs a search term corresponding to the intermediate word B1 in consideration. As a result, there is an advantage that the intention of the user 5 is easily reflected while improving the convenience of the user 5.

The information presentation system 100 according to another aspect of the embodiment presents one presentation information a1 from among a plurality of presentation information a1 to the user.

As shown in fig. 1, the information presentation system 100 includes a1 st determination unit 11, a1 st presentation unit 13, a 2 nd determination unit 12, and a 2 nd presentation unit 14.

The 1 st determining unit 11 determines a plurality of intermediate words B1 based on the condition information C1. The 1 st presentation unit 13 presents the plurality of intermediate words B1 to the user 5 so as to select one or more intermediate words B1 from the plurality of intermediate words B1. The 2 nd determining unit 12 determines presentation information a1 corresponding to one or more intermediate words B1 selected by the user 5 among the plurality of presentation information a 1. The 2 nd presentation unit 14 presents the determined presentation information a1 to the user 5.

This information presentation system 100 also has an advantage that the convenience of the user 5 is improved and the meaning of the user 5 is easily reflected.

In the present embodiment, it is assumed that all of the functions of the 1 st determining unit 11, the 1 st presentation unit 13, the 2 nd determining unit 12, and the 2 nd presentation unit 14 are aggregated and incorporated in the server 1 capable of communicating with one or more presentation devices 2. However, at least some of these functions may be incorporated in a device other than the server 1. Further, although it is assumed that the server 1 is configured by 1 server device, a plurality of server devices may be configured, and such a server device may construct, for example, a cloud (cloud computing).

The information presentation system 100 according to the present embodiment manages history information on the intermediary word B1 and the like selected by the user 5 every day, for example, and determines a plurality of intermediary words B1 that better match the life pattern (life habit, life rhythm) and taste of the user 5 through machine learning.

(2) Detailed description of the invention

The configuration of the information presentation system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

(2.1) integral constitution

The information presentation system 100 is configured to present any one presentation information a1 from among a plurality of presentation information a1 to the user 5. Here, the information presentation system 100 is configured to execute an offer process of offering "recipe" in accordance with a request from the user 5. The information presentation system 100 includes one or more presentation devices 2 and a server 1. Here, focusing on a plurality of users 5 (homes) living in a certain house 200 as described above, the information presentation system 100 further includes a (electronic) range device 4, which is one of cooking home appliances, installed in a home, and a router 6 installed in the home. However, the information presentation system 100 is not limited to the application to the home residing in the house 200 as long as it is a user who requires service provision of meal information (presentation information a1) related to meals.

Here, the family residing in the house 200 is constituted by 4 users 5 of the mother 50, father 53, child 51, and grandfather 52, and it is assumed that the mother 50 cooks a meal of the entire family every day, as an example. Therefore, the main mother 50 (cook X1) is a person who desires to support the recipe (providing presentation information a1) for each day from the information presentation system 100. Of course, a family (for example, father 53) other than mother 50 may become a cook X1 as a proxy of cook X1.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a single presentation device 2 is owned (carried) by each member of a family (a plurality of users 5). Mother 50 owns the presentation device 2A, child 51 owns the presentation device 2B, grandfather 52 owns the presentation device 2C, and father 53 owns the presentation device 2D.

As described above, each presentation device 2 assumes a portable information terminal such as a smartphone as an example. Each presentation device 2 is communicably connected to a router 6 provided in a home when a user 5 carrying the presentation device is present in the home 200. Each presentation apparatus 2 performs wireless communication with the router 6 in accordance with a standard such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The router 6 can also be communicably connected with various electronic devices in the home. In the present embodiment, the range device 4 corresponds to one of electronic devices that can communicate with the router 6. Each presentation device 2 can wirelessly communicate with the range device 4 via the router 6. Other electronic devices that can communicate with the router 6 include other cooking devices such as a freezer/refrigerator, an oven, and a cooker. Further, if an HEMS (Home Energy Management System) is introduced into house 200, the controller of the HEMS is also communicably connected to router 6. The router 6 is connected to a network NT1 (see fig. 1) such as the internet. Each presentation device 2 and various electronic apparatuses can communicate with server 1 outside house 200 via router 6. The server 1 is described in detail in the following column.

As shown in fig. 2, each presentation device 2 includes a communication unit 21, a control unit 22, a storage unit 23, an input unit 24, an output unit 25, and a detection unit 26. Each presentation device 2 is provided with application software (hereinafter, simply referred to as "cooking application") dedicated to a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for communicating with the range device 4, the server 1, and the like and presenting a meal.

The communication unit 21 is a communication interface for communicating with the range device 4, the server 1, and the like. Each presentation device 2 transmits and receives data to and from the range device 4, the server 1, and the like via the communication unit 21.

The control unit 22 is configured to control the entire presentation apparatus 2, that is, control the communication unit 21, the control unit 22, the storage unit 23, the input unit 24, the output unit 25, and the detection unit 26. The control unit 22 may be implemented by a computer system including one or more processors (microprocessors) and one or more memories, for example. That is, one or more processors execute one or more programs (applications) stored in one or more memories, thereby functioning as the control unit 22. Here, the program is recorded in advance in the memory of the control unit 22, but may be provided via an electric communication line such as the internet or may be recorded in a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

The storage unit 23 is formed of a readable and writable memory. The storage unit 23 is, for example, a flash memory. The storage unit 23 is provided outside the control unit 22, but may be provided inside the control unit 22. That is, the storage unit 23 may be a memory built in the control unit 22. The storage unit 23 stores various data.

The input unit 24 is a user interface for receiving an input operation from the user 5, and here, a touch panel display (display unit 25A) attached to the presentation apparatus 2 also functions as the input unit 24. In short, the user input is received by an operation (e.g., a flick operation) of the display screen 250 of the display unit 25A by the fingertip of the user 5 or the like. Further, the microphone attached to the presentation device 2 may also have a function (voice input) as the input unit 24. The input unit 24 receives user input related to a cooking application. In particular, the input unit 24 receives an input for the user 5 to select the interword B1 or the presentation information a1 of interest from the above-described "presented multiple interwords B1" or "presented presentation information a 1".

The output unit 25 is a user interface for outputting (presenting) various information to the user 5, and here, the touch panel display unit 25A attached to the presentation device 2 also has a function as the output unit 25. The speaker attached to the presentation apparatus 2 may also function as the output unit 25. The output unit 25 outputs information related to the cooking application to the user 5. In particular, the output unit 25 outputs image data or character string data relating to the label (object image) of the interword B1 and the presentation information a1 from the display unit 25A, or outputs audio data relating to the interword B1 and the presentation information a1 from the speaker, and executes "presentation".

The detection unit 26 is configured to detect a user status of the user 5 carrying the device (presentation apparatus 2). The detection unit 26 acquires current position information of the user apparatus using a satellite Positioning System such as a GPS (Global Positioning System), for example, and detects the current location (user status) of the user 5 carrying the presentation apparatus 2 based on the position information. The control unit 22 transmits information about the current location of the user 5 detected by the detection unit 26 to the server 1 via the communication unit 21. The user status detected by the detection unit 26 is not limited to the current location (coordinates) of the user 5. The detection unit 26 has a function of a thermo-hygrometer, detects the ambient temperature, and transmits information (environmental conditions) about the temperature to the server 1 via the communication unit 21.

The detection unit 26 has a function of a pedometer, and the user status may be the number of steps, the amount of calories consumed, the walking time, the walking speed, and the like of the user 5. The detection unit 26 may have a function of extracting a feature amount from an object in an image captured by an imaging unit (camera) attached to the presentation device 2, and the user status may be a feature amount from the image.

The function of the detection unit 26 is not limited to being provided in the presentation apparatus 2, and may be provided in an external device of the presentation apparatus 2. In this case, the external device is preferably capable of communicating with the presentation device 2 or the server 1 via the router 6. For example, a blood pressure meter installed at home may detect a blood pressure value (user status) of the user 5 and transmit the detection result to the presentation apparatus 2 or the server 1.

The user 5 starts the cooking application in the presentation device 2, and inputs a user ID and a password, which are assigned in advance from the provider of the cooking application, on the login screen, thereby being able to receive various service offerings related to the meal information associated with the user ID.

If the user 5 starts a cooking application at an arbitrary timing in the presentation apparatus 2 and performs an operation input for a desired recipe proposal, the presentation apparatus 2 transmits a recipe request signal including a user ID and the like to the server 1. The server 1 executes a recipe proposing process of a person-adaptive type using an AI (Artificial Intelligence) technique, triggered by the reception of the recipe request signal from the presentation apparatus 2, so as to be able to propose a recipe in accordance with the user 5 having the user ID.

(2.2) Server

The server 1 is provided outside the house 200. The server 1 may be run by, for example, a person (provider) who provides service to the user 5 with meal information (prompt information a1) about a meal. As described above, the server 1 is configured by 1 server device as an example.

The server 1 collects and manages various information from the plurality of users 5 who receive the service related to the presentation information a1 via the presentation apparatus 2 and the like. Here, if the description is focused on the family (4 users 5) of the house 200, the server 1 manages personal information (user ID, name, address, telephone number, mail address information, and the like) of the 4 families. The server 1 manages group information indicating that 4 family members (4 user IDs) form one group G1 (see fig. 3A), identification information of the presentation devices 2 of the 4 family members, the user IDs, and the passwords. Further, the server 1 manages information on the location of the house 200, identification information of a cooking appliance (range device 4) in the house 200, and the like.

The information on the family of the house 200 is managed by the server 1 as user data M3 (see fig. 1). The server 1 also provides the service to the user 5 (for example, another house) other than the home of the house 200 with the presentation information a1, and collects information of the user 5 and manages the information as the user data M3.

As shown in fig. 1, the server 1 includes a communication unit 10, a processing unit P1, and a storage unit 17.

The communication unit 10 is a communication interface for performing bidirectional communication with cooking home appliances such as the presentation device 2 and the range device 4 of each user 5 via the network NT 1.

The storage unit 17 is formed of a readable and writable memory. The storage unit 17 is, for example, a flash memory. The storage unit 17 is provided outside the processing unit P1, but may be provided inside the processing unit P1. That is, the storage unit 17 may be a memory built in the processing unit P1. The storage unit 17 stores various data. In particular, as shown in fig. 1, the storage unit 17 stores (stores) the context data M1, the food and drink data M2, and the user data M3.

The processing unit P1 is configured to perform overall control processing of the server 1. The processing unit P1 can be realized by a computer system including one or more processors (microprocessors) and one or more memories, for example. That is, the processing unit P1 functions as one or more processors executing one or more programs (applications) stored in one or more memories. Here, the program is recorded in advance in the memory of the processing unit P1, but may be provided via an electric communication line such as the internet or a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

Here, as shown in fig. 1, the processing unit P1 includes a1 st determining unit 11 and a 2 nd determining unit 12. In other words, the processing unit P1 has the function of the 1 st determining unit 11 and the function of the 2 nd determining unit 12. As shown in fig. 1, the processing unit P1 further includes a1 st presentation unit 13, a 2 nd presentation unit 14, a 3 rd presentation unit 15, and a setting unit 16. In other words, the processing unit P1 has a function as the 1 st presentation unit 13, a function as the 2 nd presentation unit 14, a function as the 3 rd presentation unit 15, and a function as the setting unit 16.

The 1 st determining unit 11 is configured to determine a plurality of intermediate words B1 based on the condition information C1 associated with the user 5 (the 1 st determining step). Upon receiving the recipe request signal from the presentation device 2, the 1 st determining unit 11 determines the plurality of intermediary words B1 based on the user ID included in the recipe request signal.

Here, the intermediary word B1 will be explained. The intermediate word B1 is a word associated with the attribute D1 (see fig. 3C) related to one or more presentation information a1 among the plurality of presentation information a 1. Fig. 3C is a conceptual diagram of an attribute group D0 including a plurality of attributes D1. The main information of each presentation information a1 in the server 1 is stored in the food and drink data M2 in the storage unit 17 in association with information on the plurality of attributes D1 of the attribute group D0.

Specifically, for example, the main information of the cooking menu (presentation information a1) such as "assorted chafing dish" is associated with the information such as "tofu", "cabbage", "salmon", "carrot" and "konjaku" as the attribute D1 of "food material". The main information of "assorted chafing dish" is associated with information such as "40 minutes" as the attribute D1 of "cooking time". The main information of "assorted chafing dish" is associated with information such as "80 degrees" as the attribute D1 of "temperature". The main information of "assorted chafing dish" is associated with information such as "winter" as the attribute D1 of "season". In the "assorted chafing dish", the intermediate word B1 is a word associated with the ingredients (tofu, chinese cabbage, salmon, carrot, shredded konjak), cooking time (40 minutes), temperature (80 degrees) and season (winter) of the "assorted chafing dish". The intermediate word B1 may be a word including the name of the food material itself, a word such as "short time" associated with the cooking time (40 minutes), or a word such as "hot" or "hot pot" (hot season) associated with the temperature (80 degrees) or the season (winter). As a result, the cooking menu "assorted chafing dish" corresponds to a plurality of intermediate words B1 such as "tofu", "short time", "hot", "chafing dish".

The server 1 analyzes data acquired from an external server or data on meals delivered from individuals, and periodically updates information on the type of attribute D1, specific cooking time, temperature, and the like.

Next, the condition information C1 will be described. The condition information C1 is acquisition information automatically acquired in advance or in real time from the presentation apparatus 2 or the like of the user 5. In other words, the condition information C1 is information that the user 5 itself does not need to input when the user 5 requests a proposal of a recipe. However, the condition information C1 may contain a part of the information input by the user 5 itself on the spot. For example, when the user 5 wants to limit the number of the plurality of headwords B1 presented (for example, 5 or less), the user may input information specifying the number of headwords as the condition information C1.

As shown in fig. 3B and table 1 described below, the condition information C1 includes information on the status (context) such as the user status, the stock status, and the environmental status. In other words, the condition information C1 is information that may change every day in association with the user 5.

[ Table 1]

[ situation of user ]

The user status may include time information, location information, health information, and the like, as shown in table 1, for example. The context conditions and the intermediate word examples shown in table 1 are only examples, and are not limited to these. In the information presentation system 100, the intermediate word B1 corresponding to the condition example may be changed every day so as to be more suitable for personal taste or the like based on the items (history information) selected by the user 5. The "history information" is described in detail in the following column.

The time information is information related to the timing at which the user 5 requests the proposal of the recipe, and is included in the recipe request signal and transmitted from the presentation apparatus 2. Here, the time information includes information of year, month, day, time of day, and week, but may be only information of time of day, for example. The time information may be information based on the time measured by the timer of the server 1 or information on the timing at which the recipe request signal is received. The time information is used to determine whether a predetermined context condition is satisfied. As an example of the predetermined context condition for the time information, as shown in table 1, the context condition is "19 hours and thereafter" and "saturday and holiday". If the time information satisfies at least one of the context conditions of "19 hours and later" and "saturday and holiday", the 1 st determining unit 11 may determine a word such as "short time" or "meal while out" or "instant meal while taking a meal" as the intermediate word B1.

The location information is information on the current location (position) of the user 5. Here, the location information is information related to the current location of the user 5 detected by the detection unit 26. The location information of the user 5 who has made the request for recipe proposal is included in the recipe request signal and transmitted from the presentation apparatus 2. The location information is transmitted from the presentation device 2 of each of the other users 5 in the home, not only the current location of the user 5 who has made the request for the recipe proposal, but also information on the current locations of the other users 5. The server 1 transmits a signal requesting transmission of location information to the presentation device 2 of another user 5 at home, for example, at a timing when the recipe request signal is received. The location information is used to determine whether or not a predetermined context condition is satisfied. As an example of the predetermined context condition for the location information, as shown in table 1, "outside the home", "at a distance of 5km or more from the home", and "during movement (for example, in the middle of home)" are mentioned. If the location information satisfies at least one of the context conditions of "out of home", "5 km or more from home", and "on the move", the 1 st determining part 11 may determine a word such as "eat out" or "convenient meal", "cure" as the intermediate word B1.

The health information is information related to the current health state of the user 5, and is managed by the server 1 in advance, for example. The user 5 can start a cooking application on the presentation apparatus 2, for example, and register, change, and delete health information at an arbitrary timing. The health information includes, for example, age, height, weight, eyesight, hearing, blood pressure, blood sugar level, and the name of a chronic disease, and these pieces of information are transmitted from the presentation device 2 to the server 1. As described above, a part of the health information may be directly transmitted from an external device (for example, a sphygmomanometer) to the server 1. The server 1 stores and manages these pieces of information in the storage unit 17 as user data M3. Of course, in the case where the user 5 does not wish to register the information relating to the health status, there is no need to input such information. The health information is used to determine whether a predetermined context condition is satisfied. As an example of the predetermined context condition for the health information, "higher than the standard BMI (Body mass index)" and "higher than the standard blood glucose level" are shown in table 1. If the health information satisfies at least one of the context conditions of "higher than standard BMI" and "higher than standard blood glucose level", the 1 st determining unit 11 may determine a word such as "diet", a "blood glucose level", and "low calorie" as the intermediate word B1.

[ stock Condition ]

The stock status may include stock information about food materials, as shown in table 1, for example. That is, the stock information is information of food materials purchased (or assigned) by the user 5 and kept in the refrigerator or the like of the house 200. Here, the stock information is information related to the name and type of food (categories such as meat, fish, shellfish, beans, cereals, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, mushrooms), storage location, remaining amount (quantity, weight, etc.), purchase date, management period, and the like. The management period may be, for example, a consumption period or a consumption period, but may be a period arbitrarily set by the user 5 (for example, a period set to be before the consumption period). The user 5 can start a cooking application on the presentation device 2, for example, and register, change, and delete stock information at an arbitrary timing. These pieces of information are transmitted from the presentation apparatus 2 to the server 1. The server 1 stores and manages these pieces of information in the storage unit 17 as user data M3. Of course, in the case where the user 5 does not wish to register the stock information, there is no need to input such information. In addition, when a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code is given to a package or the like in which a purchased food is packaged, the code may be read by an imaging unit of the presentation device 2, and the presentation device 2 may transmit stock information including a consumption term or the like to the server 1.

The server 1 manages inventory information of food materials being stored by the user 5. If the user 5 inputs information to the presentation apparatus 2 that the presentation information a1 which has accepted the offer from the information presentation system 100 is actually cooked, the presentation apparatus 2 transmits a feedback signal containing the information to the server 1. Further, when the user 5 cooks with the range device 4, the range device 4 transmits a feedback signal including information of a cooking menu to the server 1. The server 1 estimates the type and amount (quantity, weight, etc.) of the food material to be used from these feedback signals, and updates the stock information of the user data M3 (reduces the amount of used food material). Of course, the stock information of the user data M3 may be updated by the presentation device 2 receiving an input of information indicating the amount of the food material actually used from the user 5.

The stock information is used to determine whether or not a predetermined context condition is satisfied. As an example of the predetermined context condition for the stock information, "food materials with a consumption period of 1 day or less" and the like are shown in table 1. If there is a food material satisfying the contextual condition "food material having a consumption period of 1 day or less" in the stock information, the 1 st determining unit 11 may determine a word such as "rape period" including the name of the food material as the keyword B1. That is, the "rape term" is the intermediate word B1 corresponding to the consumption term of rape currently being stored by the user 5 being 1 day or less.

In this way, the 1 st determining unit 11 includes a function of determining the participle B1 based on the management deadline concerning the food material. In other words, the 1 st decision step includes a decision based on a management deadline related to the food material.

[ environmental conditions ]

The environmental conditions may include temperature information, for example, as shown in table 1. The temperature information is temperature information of a region (for example, AA city) where the house 200 is located as a residential facility of the user 5. Server 1 specifies the temperature information of the local area based on the information of residence of house 200 stored in storage unit 17. For example, the server 1 acquires the temperature information of the AA market at the time point when the recipe request signal is received from an external server (server for managing weather data). The temperature information may be the temperature information of the current location of the user 5 detected by the detection unit 26, instead of the temperature information of the area where the house 200 is located. The temperature information is used to determine whether or not a predetermined context condition is satisfied. As an example of the predetermined context condition for the temperature information, "lower than the temperature of the previous day by 4 degrees or more" and the like are shown in table 1. If the temperature information satisfies the context condition, the 1 st determining part 11 may determine a word such as "hot" or "hot pot" as the intermediate word B1.

In the present embodiment, the main information on the above-described context conditions and the intermediate word examples is stored in the storage unit 17 as context data M1, as shown in fig. 1. The context condition and the intermediate word case are stored in a form in which correspondence is established with each other in a "many-to-many" manner. The server 1 analyzes the context data M1, such as data acquired from an external server or data delivered from an individual, collects the latest words (e.g., popular phrases) and updates the words every day (strengthening of the context data M1).

The 1 st presentation unit 13 is configured to present the plurality of intermediate words B1 to the user 5 so as to select one or more intermediate words B1 from the plurality of intermediate words B1 (1 st presentation step). Specifically, the 1 st presentation unit 13 generates a signal (context selection signal) including information on the plurality of interjects B1 determined by the 1 st determination unit 11, and transmits the signal to the presentation device 2 as the transmission source of the recipe request signal via the communication unit 10. For example, if a recipe request signal is transmitted from the presentation device 2A of the mother 50, the 1 st presentation unit 13 transmits a context selection signal to the presentation device 2A and outputs the context selection signal from the output unit 25 of the presentation device 2A. In other words, here, as an example, the mother 50 who owns the presentation apparatus 2A is given a choice to select one or more intermediate words B1 from among the plurality of intermediate words B1.

When the communication unit 21 of each presentation apparatus 2 (here, the presentation apparatus 2A of mother 50) receives the context selection signal, the control unit 22 causes the display screen 250 of the display unit 25A functioning as the output unit 25 to display the plurality of headwords B1, respectively, as shown in fig. 4. In the example of fig. 4, 3 intermediate words B1 of "short time", "cure", and "duration of rape" are suggested. In the example of fig. 4, the 3 interword B1 is shown as a circle or an ellipse-shaped label. The 1 st label B11 represents the intermediate word B1 "short in time". The 2 nd label B12 represents the interword B1 of "duration of rape". The 3 rd label B13 represents the intermediate word B1 "cure". The 1 st tab B11 to the 3 rd tab B13 can receive a tap operation by the fingertip of the user 5 or the like, and select the corresponding interword B1.

The presentation device 2 preferably outputs a message (character string data or speech data) from the output unit 25 to prompt selection of one or more than one of the 3 intermediate words B1 from among the 3 intermediate words B1.

The 1 st tab B11 to 3 rd tab B13 are different in area size from each other on the display screen 250. In the example of FIG. 4, the size of the area at 2 nd tag B12 is the largest, followed by the size of the area at 1 st tag B11 being the larger and the size of the area at 3 rd tag B13 being the smallest. The information presentation system 100 according to the present embodiment is set such that the larger the interword B1 estimated to be of higher interest to the user 5 who is the source of the recipe request signal, the larger the area size of the corresponding tag.

Specifically, the 1 st determining unit 11 determines an index of "recommendation degree" for each of the plurality of determined intermediate words B1, and the 1 st presenting unit 13 includes the result of the index in the context selection signal and transmits the result. The "recommendation degree" may be an absolute index of each intermediate word B1 or a relative index among a plurality of intermediate words B1. The "recommendation level" is determined by mutual judgment based on, for example, the degree to which the condition information C1 of the user 5 matches the context condition and history information of past selections of the user 5 in the user data M3 of the storage unit 17. When the user 5 is restricted to 5 or less, for example, regarding the number of the plural intermediate words B1 to be presented, if the number of the matching intermediate words B1 is 6 or more, the 1 st presenting unit 13 presents only the first 5 intermediate words B1 having a high "recommendation level".

The control unit 22 of the presentation apparatus 2 determines the area size of each label based on the "recommendation degree" included in the context selection signal, and displays the area size on the display screen 250. It is not essential to change the area size of the label according to the "recommendation degree", and the area sizes of the 1 st label B11 to the 3 rd label B13 may be all the same.

If the user 5 finds the middle word B1 of high interest from among the plurality of middle words B1 displayed on the display screen 250, the tab corresponding to the middle word B1 is tapped with a fingertip or the like. In the example of fig. 4, the 1 st tab B11 and the 2 nd tab B12 are selected by a tap operation (see the dot hatching of the presentation device 2 at the center of fig. 4), but the number of selections may be only one or all. If the user 5 fails to find a word of interest among the plural intermediary words B1 displayed on the display screen 250, a flick operation is performed on an object area (not shown in fig. 4) for performing a re-presentation request of intermediary words. Then, the information presentation system 100 receives a re-presentation request. When the server 1 receives a signal relating to a re-presentation request from the presentation device 2, the 1 st determining unit 11 extracts a different intermediate word B1 from the plurality of intermediate words B1 presented last time.

If one or more intermediary words B1 are selected from the plurality of intermediary words B1 by the user 5, the control unit 22 of the presentation apparatus 2 generates a signal (food or drink request signal) indicating the selected intermediary words B1 and transmits the signal to the server 1 via the communication unit 21. When the server 1 receives the food or beverage request signal, the later-described 2 nd determination unit 12 determines the presentation information a 1. The processing unit P1 stores the selection result of the user 5 (including the re-presentation request), that is, the intermediate word B1 in which the user 5 shows attention (is selected) and the intermediate word B1 in which attention is not shown (is not selected), as history information (user data M3) in the storage unit 17. The processing unit P1 reflects the selection result of the user 5 in the next and subsequent determination of the intermediary word B1.

The 2 nd determination unit 12 is configured to determine, among the plurality of presentation information a1, presentation information a1 corresponding to one or more intermediate words B1 selected by the user 5 (2 nd determination step). Specifically, the 2 nd determination unit 12, upon receiving a food or beverage request signal indicating the lire B1 selected by the user from the presentation apparatus 2 via the communication unit 10, refers to the main information such as the food or beverage data M2 in the storage unit 17, and extracts the presentation information a1 corresponding to the lire B1. As shown in table 2 below, the food and drink data M2 is stored in the storage unit 17 in a form in which the names of the menu items to be cooked and the corresponding intermediate words B1 are associated with each other in a "many-to-many" manner. In the food and drink data M2, the menu names are associated with the required food materials including the portions and stored. Although the description is omitted here, the food and drink data M2 stores the menu names in association with the recipe (recipe). That is, the meal information of the present embodiment includes information on a cooking menu. The food and drink data M2 also corresponds to cooking home appliances required to cook each menu, and one of the cooking home appliances corresponds to the range device 4, for example. In addition, the range device 4 also manages information on the food and drink data M2, which is directly transmitted from the range device 4 to the server 1 if the user 5 cooks a menu using the range device 4.

[ Table 2]

The 2 nd determining unit 12 extracts presentation information a1 (recipe) including a menu name corresponding to one or more internationals B1 selected by the user 5 from the food and drink data M2 stored in the storage unit 17. Here, since the user 5 selects the two intermediate words B1 of "short time" and "rape term" by the presentation apparatus 2, one or more menu names corresponding to both the two intermediate words B1 are selected.

Specifically, the intermediate word B1 of "short time" corresponds to the food and drink data M2, for example, other cooking menus such as "salmon gruel", "omelette sandwich", and "chicken and egg rice". The intermediate word B1 of "rape date" corresponds to the food and drink data M2 to a cooking menu such as "green onion-fried rape" in addition to "salad". In this case, the 2 nd determining unit 12 selects "salad" that corresponds to both the "short time" and the "rape time limit". In this way, the 2 nd determining unit 12 includes a function of determining a cooking menu based on the management time limit related to the food material. In other words, the 2 nd decision step includes a decision based on the management deadline related to the food material.

Also in the example of table 2, if the user 5 selects two intermediate words B1 of "hot" and "hot pot" in the presentation apparatus 2, a menu name (assorted hot pot, etc.) corresponding to both of the two intermediate words B1 is selected.

The 2 nd presentation unit 14 is configured to present the determined presentation information a1 to the user 5 (2 nd presentation step). Specifically, the 2 nd presentation unit 14 generates a signal (recipe presentation signal) including information (here, a menu name such as "salad" and a desired food material, a recipe, and an image of a cooking menu) about the one or more presentation information a1 determined by the 2 nd determination unit 12. The 2 nd presentation unit 14 transmits the recipe presentation signal to the presentation device 2, which is the source of the food or beverage request signal, via the communication unit 10. For example, if a food or drink request signal is transmitted from the presentation device 2A of the mother 50, the 2 nd presentation unit 14 transmits a recipe presentation signal to the presentation device 2A and outputs the recipe presentation signal from the output unit 25 of the presentation device 2A. The image of the cooking menu may be an image prepared in advance on the provider side of the operation server 1, or may be a self-made menu image delivered by an individual to the server 1.

When the communication unit 21 of each presentation device 2 (here, the presentation device 2A of mother 50) receives the recipe presentation signal, the control unit 22 causes the display screen 250 of the display unit 25A to display presentation information a1 as shown in the presentation device 2 on the right end of fig. 4. In the example of fig. 4, information on the menu name (character string data) of "salad", the image (image data) of the menu, and the necessary food material (character string data) is displayed on the screen as the presentation information a 1. Further, by a tap operation of the display field in which the necessary material is displayed, the screen is shifted to a screen on which more detailed information (such as a recipe) is displayed. In the example of fig. 4, the number of the presentation information a1 to be presented is only one ("cold dish rape"), but may be plural. The information a1 may also include salt, calorie, and nutrient components related to the cooking menu, and information on the cooking appliance (e.g., the range device 4) to be used.

The information presentation system 100 of the present embodiment accepts selection of the presentation information a1 by, for example, the user 5 flicking the finger tip or the like in a predetermined area on the display screen 250 where one or more presentation information a1 are displayed. That is, if there is a menu of interest to the user 5 (e.g., a menu that wants to cook from now on) among the one or more menus that are prompted, the menu is selected. By this selection, the information presentation system 100 accepts that the user 5 wants to execute cooking of the menu from now (final selection of the presentation information a 1).

The presentation device 2 transmits a signal (feedback signal) including the selection result to the server 1. Upon receiving the feedback signal from the presentation device 2 via the communication unit 10, the processing unit P1 of the server 1 recognizes that the user 5 actually performed the cooking of the menu based on the selection result. Then, the processing unit P1 estimates the type and amount (number, weight, etc.) of the food material that can be used in the menu, and updates the stock information of the user data M3 (reduces the amount that can be used). The processing unit P1 stores the presentation information a1 showing the attention (selected) and the presentation information a1 showing no attention (not selected) to the user 5, which is the selection result of the user 5, in the storage unit 17 as history information (user data M3). That is, the processing unit P1 reflects the result of selecting the presentation information a1 in the determination of the next and subsequent intermediate words B1, as in the result of selecting the intermediate word B1.

The authority of "final selection" of the notice a1 is preferably given only to the cook X1 (mother 50, for example) who actually cooks. Therefore, in the information presentation system 100, the user data M3 in the storage unit 17 can set a cook flag indicating that the user is the cook X1 to the user ID. The processing unit P1 of the server 1 determines whether or not the user ID of the transmission source of the feedback signal is given a cook indicator, and only when the cook indicator is given, it is considered that the user 5 actually performed the cooking of the menu. If a feedback signal is transmitted from the user ID to which the cook indicator is not given, the server 1 notifies the message from the presentation device 2.

The 3 rd presentation unit 15 is configured to present a method of storing the specific material when the user 5 exhibits an action of negating consumption of the specific material (the 3 rd presentation step). For example, in the above example, assuming that the consumption term of rape in the food stored by the user 5 is 1 day or less, the 1 st presentation unit 13 presents the medium word B1 including "the term of rape" among the plurality of medium words B1. However, when the user 5 selects the different intermediary word B1 without selecting "rape time limit", the 2 nd presentation unit 14 is more likely to present the cooking menu (presentation information a1) in which rape is not to be used. As a result, the possibility of the ultimate selection by the cook X1 (e.g., mother 50) of not using the cooking menu of rape becomes high in spite of the approaching period of consumption of rape.

Further, if the user 5 selects the interword B1 such as "meal out" or "ready-to-eat meal", the possibility of meal out or buying cooked food (side dish, etc.) outside becomes high although the consumption term of rape is approaching. As a result, the possibility of taking actions (going out to eat, convenience meal) to deny the consumption of rape becomes high in spite of the fact that the period of consumption of rape is approaching.

The 3 rd presentation unit 15 presents a method of storing the food material (specific food material) in such a state. Specifically, for example, the presentation device 2 of the user 5 is presented with information that rape seeds whose consumption period is approaching are washed, chopped and frozen for storage. The presentation timing of the storage method is not particularly limited, and the storage method is presented after the user 5 finally selects the presentation information a1, for example. The information on the storage method is stored in the storage unit 17 as food and drink data M2 in association with each food material. The information prompt system 100 also prompts the storage of the rape by prompting the storage method of the rape. The information presentation system 100 may perform only the stored prompt (output of the stored prompt message) without presenting the storage method. Further, since storage may be difficult to be effective depending on the type of food material (for example, eggs, dairy products, or the like), the information presentation system 100 may output a message to prompt disposal of the food material if it is determined that the expiration of the consumption time limit of the food material is likely to be high.

In this way, the 3 rd presentation unit 15 presents the method of storing the food material when the user 5 exhibits an action of denying consumption of the food material, and therefore, the convenience can be improved.

The setting unit 16 is configured to set a group G1 (see fig. 3A) including a plurality of users 5 (setting step). The presentation apparatus 2 can receive an operation input for associating the family of the user 5 (mother 50, father 53, child 51, and grandfather 52) as one group G1 through the cooking application. The presentation device 2, upon receiving an operation input regarding a group setting, transmits information regarding the group setting to the server 1. The setting unit 16, if receiving information on the group setting from the presentation apparatus 2, stores the group setting as the user data M3 in the storage unit 17. The group G1 is associated by the user ID of the subject.

In the present embodiment, if a recipe request signal is received from the presentation device 2 of the user 5 who has performed the group setting, at least one of the 1 st presentation unit 13 and the 2 nd presentation unit 14 can present the recipe in units of the group G1. In other words, at least one of the 1 st presentation step and the 2 nd presentation step presents the group G1 as a unit. In this way, in the information presentation system 100, presentation can be performed on a group-by-group basis of G1, and therefore information presentation for a plurality of users 5 (for example, for family members) can be easily performed.

Here, the setting unit 16 is configured to be able to set validity or invalidity individually for presentation of the intermediate word B1 and presentation of the presentation information a1 in units of the group G1. For example, it is assumed that the presentation of the intermediate word B1 is set to "valid" in units of the group G1, and the presentation of the presentation information a1 is set to "invalid" in units of the group G1. When the cooker X1 (mother 50) performs an operation of transmitting a recipe request signal from the presentation device 2A, a plurality of intermediate words B1 are presented not only on the presentation device 2A of mother 50 but also on the presentation devices 2 of other family members (father 53, child 51, and grandfather 52). As a result, the family members can each select the interword B1 of interest, and the opinions of the family members are easily reflected in the presentation information a 1. In this case, the 1 st determining unit 11 may determine the plurality of intermediate words B1 based on the condition information C1 of all the family members, or may determine the plurality of intermediate words B1 based on the condition information C1 of one representative person (for example, the cook X1). Since the presentation of the presentation information a1 is "invalid", only the presentation device 2A of the mother 50 who is the cook X1 is targeted. Of course, if the presentation of the presentation information a1 is also set to "valid" in units of the group G1, the presentation information a1 is presented not only on the presentation device 2A of the mother 50 but also on the presentation devices 2 of other family members.

However, even if presentation of the presentation information a1 is set to "effective" in units of group G1, the authority of "final selection" of the presentation information a1 is preferably given only to the cook X1 (for example, mother 50) who actually cooks as described above. In other words, it is preferable that the right to select the presentation information a1 presented in the 2 nd presentation step be given only to the specified user 5 within the group G1. In this case, when the performer who performs a specific action (for example, the cook X1) based on the presented presentation information a1 and the non-performer who does not perform the action are mixed in the group G1, convenience can be improved by giving only the authority to the performer.

(2.3) reflection of history information

As described above, in the information presentation system 100 according to the present embodiment, the intermediate word B1 corresponding to the condition example can be changed every day so as to be more suitable for personal taste or the like based on the items (history information) selected by the user 5. The history information of the user 5 corresponds to one of the above-described "user statuses". In other words, the condition information C1 includes history information. The history information includes the history about the plurality of intermediary words B1 presented to the user 5 by the 1 st presentation unit 13 (1 st presentation step) in the past.

In the present embodiment, the history information includes a history about one or more intermediate words B1 selected by the user 5 in the past. That is, the information presentation system 100 manages history information on the intermediary word B1 and the like selected by the user 5 every day.

Further, in the present embodiment, the history information includes the history of the action taken by the user 5 which has received the presentation of the presentation information a1 by the 2 nd presentation unit 14 (the 2 nd presentation step) in the past. Specifically, the history information may include a history related to the presentation information a1 that the user has "finally selected" (may be viewed instead of selecting) by the flick operation of the presentation apparatus 2, and may include a history related to the presentation information a1 that is "not selected". The history information may include a history of cooking of a certain cooking menu (not necessarily matching the presentation information a1) using the range unit 4, or may include a history based on information directly received from the range unit 4. That is, the above-mentioned "action" corresponds to selection, viewing, and cooking (execution).

The history information also includes acquired information on the user status, the stock status, and the environmental status acquired in the past. For example, the past user condition may be used as a material for estimating the life pattern (life style, life rhythm) of the user 5.

The processing unit P1 of the information presentation system 100 further includes a learning unit 18 (see fig. 1) that performs, for example, unsupervised learning based on history information stored every day. The learning unit 18 analyzes the structure and the feature of the history information, performs clustering, and the like, and generates a model for each user 5 (or for each group G1). The 1 st determining unit 11 determines a plurality of intermediate words B1 that better match the lifestyle pattern and preference of the user 5, taking into account the model in addition to the current situation (context) of the timing at which the recipe request signal is received. The "daily history information" described here may include not only the history information of the user 5 who has made a request for a recipe offer but also the history information of other users 5 in the group G1 to which the user 5 belongs and the history information of users 5 other than the user 5 in the house 200.

Examples of the characteristics of the history information include a characteristic of a strong tendency to easily select a menu of low calorie or salt reduction in consideration of weight or blood pressure, a characteristic of a strong tendency to solve supper by light diet, and a characteristic of a strong tendency after the time of returning home is later 21. For example, the food may be characterized by a strong tendency to be cooked with a preference for hot pot in winter, by a strong tendency to have a large number of food items whose consumption time limit is approaching because of a low ability to manage food items, or by a low possibility to cook the food by oneself because of a large number of meals taken out on saturday. In the information presentation system 100, such features are also easily reflected in the decision of the intermediary word B1.

In this way, in the present embodiment, a plurality of intermediate words B1 are determined based on the condition information C1 including history information. Therefore, the life pattern, taste, and the like of the user 5 are easily reflected in the plurality of intermediate words B1, and as a result, the presentation information a1 reflecting the meaning of the user 5 is more easily presented.

Preferably, at least one of the 1 st determining unit 11 and the 2 nd determining unit 12 determines the interword B1 and the presentation information a1 based on the management deadline (related to the food material) and the life pattern of the user 5. In other words, it is preferable that at least one of the 1 st and 2 nd determination steps includes a determination based on the management term and the life pattern of the user 5. Specifically, for example, if the tendency of not cooking too much is strong when a user 5 goes out to eat a meal or a meal is ready to eat, or the tendency of getting home at a later time is strong, the possibility that the food is not consumed and the time limit is managed increases. In short, for example, the cooking frequency in 1 week unit may be different depending on the user 5. Therefore, the information presentation system 100 adjusts the timing for advancing consumption of the food material based on the cooking frequency (the life pattern of the user 5) based on the history information of each user 5.

As described above, the information presentation system 100 analyzes the life pattern of the user 5 based on the history information. The information presentation system 100 presents the intermediary word B1 and the presentation information a1 concerning the food material whose management deadline is approaching, to the user 5 whose cooking frequency is relatively low, at an early stage with a margin with respect to the management deadline. For example, regarding "food material with a consumption period of 1 day or less" as one of the context conditions in table 1, the presentation timing of the intermediary word B1 related to the management period is advanced by two days by applying the condition of "food material with a consumption period of 3 days or less" to the user 5 with a relatively low cooking frequency. In this case, a proposal relating to meals taking into account the life pattern of the user 5 in addition to the management period relating to the food material can be made.

(2.4) prompting of food Material List

The user 5 may decide, for example, a recipe one week ahead to some extent and purchase the food materials used in the menu one week ahead. Therefore, the information presentation system 100 of the present embodiment can specify the number of times the proposed meal is desired. That is, the presentation information a1 is not limited to information on 1 meal, and may include information on two or more meals. The "1 meal" mentioned here assumes, for example, 1 of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack for 1 day. However, the "1 meal" may be a 1-day meal. In addition, instead of specifying the "number of times" of meals, "a" period (two days, one week, or the like) "may be specified, and for example, the period may be specified in a form of" 3 months 1 to 3 months 10 days "based on calendar information. The calendar information is stored in the storage unit 17 for each user 5 together with event information and the like and managed as user data M3. Each user 5 can view his/her calendar information via the presentation apparatus 2. The user 5 can view a menu that has been cooked in the past in the form of a calendar (a cooking menu of 2 months and 1 days: assorted chafing dish, etc.), for example. In the calendar information, predetermined events (e.g., a predetermined day of going out for a meal, a predetermined day of going out for father 53, a predetermined day of athletic meeting for child 51, etc.) may also be registered as the schedule information. This schedule information also corresponds to one of the "user statuses" of the condition information C1 when the 1 st determining unit 11 determines the intermediate word B1.

The server 1, if receiving information specifying the number of times of a meal desired to be proposed from the presentation apparatus 2, presents presentation information a1 regarding a meal of an amount corresponding to the number of times by the 2 nd presentation section 14. Here, the 2 nd presentation unit 14 is configured to present the food material lists corresponding to the respective meals of two or more times collectively as the presentation information a1 (the 2 nd presentation step).

Here, the server 1 may receive a request for re-presentation of the presentation information a1 from the user 5, for example, on the next day or several days when the presentation information a1 corresponding to a weekly meal is presented. However, the situation (context) of the user 5 changes every day, and the stock of food materials purchased together with the amount for one week also decreases through daily cooking. In contrast, the information presentation system 100 according to the present embodiment is configured to update the food material list (which is presented collectively) in accordance with a change in the condition information C1. Therefore, when the condition information C1 may change every day, it is possible to present a food material list following the changed form. In particular, an optimal menu can be proposed that enables cooking with the remaining ingredients at the time when the request for re-presentation of the presentation information a1 is received.

Further, it is preferable to update the food material list according to the selection result of the user 5 of the past presentation of the presentation information a 1. In this case, a food material list reflecting the form of the life pattern, taste, and the like of the user 5 can be presented.

(2.5) priority

In the present embodiment, priorities can be set for a plurality of users 5 in the group G1. When priority is set, the 1 st determining unit 11 is configured to determine the plurality of intermediate words B1 based on the condition information C1 associated with the user 5 having a higher priority in the group G1. In other words, priorities are set for a plurality of users 5 in the group G1, and in the 1 st decision step, a plurality of intermediate words B1 are decided based on the condition information C1 associated with the users 5 having the high priorities.

The priority of the group G1 is set to priority flags of "1" to "3", for example, as shown in table 3 below.

[ Table 3]

In the example of table 3, the set of the 1 st identifier and the 2 nd identifier constitutes the user ID of each user 5. The 1 st identifier is an inherent ID of the group G1, and the 2 nd identifier is an inherent ID for distinguishing family members within the group G1. The priority flag indicates: "1" is highest, and the priority becomes lower in the order of "2" and "3". That is, in the example of table 3, the user ID of the child 51 is assigned the highest priority. Further, in the information presentation system 100 according to the present embodiment, it is also possible to set priority conditions. The user 5 can input the priority flag and the priority condition by an operation input to the presentation apparatus 2.

For example, the 1 st deciding unit 11 decides the intermediate word B1 based on the condition information C1 associated with the child 51 having the highest priority among the group G1, that is, with priority given to the life pattern and taste of the child 51. In particular, since the priority condition of the child 51 is set to "time to home", the 1 st determining unit 11 estimates the time to home from the current location of the child 51, and includes, for example, a middle word B1 including an attribute D1 that associates a meal that can be cooked with the time to home as a target.

Further, the 1 st deciding part 11 decides the intermediate word B1 based on the condition information C1 associated with the grandfather 52 whose priority is next higher in the group G1, that is, the child 51 thereafter with the living pattern and taste of the grandfather 52 as priorities. In particular, since the priority condition of the grandfather 52 is set to "blood sugar level", the 1 st determining unit 11 includes the intermediate word B1 of the attribute D1 that suggests that the meal should be suppressed in sugar quality if the blood sugar level (health information) satisfies the predetermined context condition.

Since the priority can be set in this way, the condition information C1 associated with the user 5 having a high priority is easily reflected on the plurality of interword B1.

In response to an operation input from the user 5, the presentation apparatus 2 can output, as shown in table 3, a list of the priorities set for which persons in the group G1 are set to the display screen 250. Therefore, each user 5 can easily view the current priority setting contents of the group G1.

(2.6) description of operation

Hereinafter, the operation of the information presentation system 100 according to the present embodiment will be briefly described with reference to fig. 5. The sequence in the following description of the operation is merely an example and is not particularly limited.

In the house 200, the mother 50 who is the cook X1 starts a cooking application on the presentation device 2A, inputs the user ID and the password thereof, and registers the cooking application. Further, mother 50 performs an operation input requesting a recipe proposal concerning dinner today, for example, through the cooking application (step S1). The presentation device 2A transmits a recipe request signal to the server 1 in accordance with an operation input from the mother 50 (step S2).

Upon receiving the recipe request signal, the server 1 requests and acquires information (information of the current location and the like) required in the condition information C1 at that point in time from the presentation apparatuses 2 of all the users 5 in the group G1 associated with the user ID (step S3). The server 1 then decides a plurality of intermediate words B1 based on the condition information C1 (1 st decision step: step S4). Here, as shown in fig. 1, mother 50, child 51, and grandfather 52 of 4 family members are at home, while father 53 is out of the office because it is on the work. The server 1 deduces from the current location of father 53 that it is currently on duty and, as a result, may include in the intermediary word B1 a word associated with the out-going father 53.

If the server 1 determines the plurality of intermediate words B1, it generates a context selection signal and transmits it to the presentation apparatus 2A, so that it presents the plurality of intermediate words B1 to the mother 50 (the 1 st presentation step: step S5).

Upon receiving the context selection signal, the presentation apparatus 2A displays the plurality of interword B1 on the display screen 250 of the display unit 25A (step S6). When receiving a selection of the plurality of interverns B1 by a flick operation from the mother 50 or the like (step S7), the presentation device 2A generates a food and drink request signal indicating the selected intervern B1 and transmits the signal to the server 1 (step S8).

Upon receiving the food or drink request signal, the server 1 refers to the food or drink data M2 and determines presentation information a1 corresponding to the intermediate word B1 selected by the user 5 (2 nd determination step: step S9). The server 1 generates a recipe presentation signal including information on the determined presentation information a1 (here, "salad"), and transmits the generated recipe presentation signal to the presentation device 2A to present the presentation information a1 to the mother 50 (the 2 nd presentation step: step S10).

Upon receiving the recipe presentation signal, the presentation device 2A displays the presentation information a1 on the display screen 250 of the display unit 25A (step S11). Mother 50 decides to cook the proposed reminder information a1 as dinner today, "final selection" is performed by a flick operation or the like (step S12).

The presentation device 2A transmits a feedback signal including the selection result to the server 1 (step S13). Further, if the mother 50 performs cooking using the range device 4 with respect to the finally selected prompt information a1 (step S14), the range device 4 transmits a feedback signal containing a result of the cooking thereof to the server 1 (step S15).

Upon receiving the feedback signal from the presentation device 2A and the range device 4, the server 1 estimates the type and amount (quantity, weight, etc.) of the food material that may be used in the menu based on the selection result and the cooking result, and updates the stock information of the user data M3 (step S16). The learning unit 18 updates the model (learned by the machine) at the timing, for example, so as to take the selection result and the cooking result into consideration.

As described above, according to the information presentation system 100 of the present embodiment, since the plurality of intermediate words B1 are determined and presented based on the condition information C1 associated with the user 5, the user 5 can present the presentation information a1 only by selecting the intermediate word B1 of interest from the plurality of intermediate words B1. That is, unlike patent document 1, there is no trouble that the user 5 himself or herself inputs a word corresponding to the intermediate word B1. As a result, there is an advantage that the intention of the user 5 is easily reflected while improving the convenience of the user 5.

In addition, as the number of selections of the intermediate word B1 and the presentation information a1 increases with a request for a daily recipe offer, the intermediate word B1 more suitable for the life pattern, taste, and the like of the user 5 is more easily presented via the learning unit 18 than at the beginning of the use of the information presentation system 100. In particular, in a case where the cook X1 cannot grasp the current situation (context) of the other users 5 in the group G1 in full detail, the information presentation system 100 can present the intermediate word B1 and the presentation information a1 in consideration of the situation of the other users 5.

(3) Modification example

The above-described embodiment is merely one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. The above embodiment can be variously modified according to design and the like as long as the object of the present disclosure can be achieved. The same functions as those of the information presentation system 100 according to the above embodiment can be embodied by an information presentation method, a computer program, a non-transitory recording medium on which a computer program is recorded, or the like.

Modifications of the above embodiment will be described below. The modifications described below can be applied in appropriate combinations. Hereinafter, the above-described embodiment may be referred to as a "basic example".

The information prompting system 100 of the present disclosure can also include a computer system. A computer system is mainly configured with a processor and a memory as hardware. The functions as the information presentation system 100 of the present disclosure are realized by executing a program recorded in a memory of a computer system by a processor. The program may be recorded in advance in a memory of the computer system, may be supplied via an electric communication line, or may be recorded in a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card, an optical disk, or a hard disk drive that can be read by the computer system. A processor of a computer system is constituted by 1 to a plurality of electronic circuits including a semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC) or a large scale integrated circuit (LSI). The integrated circuits such as the IC and the LSI described herein are called system LSI, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), or ulsi (ultra Large Scale Integration), which are called variable depending on the degree of Integration. Furthermore, an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) which is Programmable after the manufacture of the LSI, or a logic device which can perform the reconfiguration of the bonding relationship inside the LSI or the reconfiguration of the circuit diagram inside the LSI can be used as the processor. The plurality of electronic circuits may be integrated in one chip or may be dispersed and provided in a plurality of chips. The plurality of chips may be integrated in one device or may be distributed among a plurality of devices. The computer system described herein includes a microcontroller having one or more processors and one or more memories. Thus, regarding the microcontroller, it is also constituted by 1 to a plurality of electronic circuits including a semiconductor integrated circuit or a large scale integrated circuit.

Further, it is not essential that the functions of the information presentation system 100 be integrated into one housing. For example, the components of the information presentation system 100 may be provided in a plurality of housings in a dispersed manner. Conversely, multiple functions of the message reminder system 100 may be integrated into a single housing. Further, at least a part of the functions of the information presentation system 100, for example, a part of the functions of the information presentation system 100 may be realized by a cloud (cloud computing) or the like.

In the basic example, the plurality of intermediate words B1 are displayed as labels in a circular shape and an elliptical shape on the display screen 250 of the display unit 25A of the presentation device 2. However, as shown in fig. 6, a plurality of the intermediate words B1 may be displayed in list form. In the list form, it is also preferable to display the intermediate word B1 in the order of "recommendation degree" from high to low from the top.

In the basic example, one piece of the hint information a1 is displayed in one screen. However, as shown in fig. 7, 2 pieces of the prompt information a1 (salad dressing rape and assorted chafing dish) may be displayed on one screen. In addition, the presentation information a1 and the intermediate word B1 may be displayed in a collective manner so that the user 5 can know the intermediate word B1 that is the cause of the server 1 to determine the presentation information a 1. As can be easily understood from the example of fig. 7, the "salad dressing" is decided based on the intermediate word B1 of "short time" selected by the user 5, and the "assorted chafing dish" is decided based on the intermediate word B1 of "hot" selected by the user 5.

In the basic example, the meal information (the prompt information a1) is information relating to a cooking menu and a recipe. However, the meal information may also be information relating to out meals or convenient ready meals. Specifically, if the user 5 selects "out-of-home dining" or "ready-to-eat meal" as the intermediate word B1, the information presentation system 100 may present store information such as a supermarket or a restaurant in the peripheral area of the house 200 as the presentation information a 1. In this case, the server 1 acquires and stores map information about stores such as supermarkets and restaurants from an external server, and searches for stores in an area surrounding the house 200 or an area on a route from the house 200 to a work place of the father 53. When the server 1 acquires information on special sale in a supermarket, point assignment in a restaurant, or the like from an external server, it presents an intermediary word B1 of "special sale" or "point assignment". If the user 5 is concerned, the server 1 proposes information on the store name and the location information and information on a menu (or food material or food assortment to be sold) to be given points as presentation information a 1.

In the basic example, only the mother 50 who owns the presentation apparatus 2A is given the option of the plurality of intermediate words B1. However, the presentation apparatuses 2 of the other users 5 in the group G1 may also transmit the context selection signal, and the other users 5 may also be given the option of the plurality of intermediate words B1. Each presentation device 2 may output a chat window on the display screen 250 so that the user can select which intermediate word B1 and presentation information a1 are included in the group G1 with respect to the plurality of intermediate words B1 and presentation information a1 presented. In this case, the information presentation system 100 can also provide a platform for performing a home conference related to a cooking menu.

In the basic example, mother 50 is cook X1, but when another user 5 in group G1, for example, father 53 temporarily becomes cook X1, a recipe presentation request is made using its own presentation device 2D. In this case, the information presentation system 100 basically causes the presentation device 2D to present the intermediate word B1 and the presentation information a 1.

In the basic example, mother 50 as cook X1 makes a request for recipe proposal from presentation apparatus 2 at home. For example, the mother 50 who is the cook X1 may request a recipe proposal from the presentation apparatus 2 while going out (for example, while shopping). In this case, the user status related to the current location of the user 5 may be set so as not to greatly affect the determination of the interword B1.

In the basic example, the information presentation system 100 determines and presents the intermediary word B1, triggered by the reception of a request for a recipe proposal from the user 5 (mother 50). However, the information presentation system 100 may automatically start the process of determining the intermediate word B1 when a predetermined time has elapsed, and may give a notification (presentation) by a push notification or the like.

In the basic example, the reminder a1 contains meal information relating to a meal. The presentation information a1 may include information related to music, books, images, and the like instead of meals.

(4) Specific examples of the implementation

Hereinafter, a more specific example of the above embodiment will be described.

(4.1) construction of specific example

A specific example of a meal offer, which is an offer related to a meal, as the presentation information will be described below. In addition, the meal offer is a concept including: a menu for prompting a menu or a recipe consisting of a plurality of menus, and proposing a meal accompanied with cooking; and foods that are not accompanied by cooking, such as out-of-home meals or convenient ready-to-eat meals, are proposed. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components that can be regarded as substantially equivalent to those of the above-described embodiments, and the description thereof may be omitted by referring to the above description.

In the specific example described below, a server 1a shown in fig. 8 is used instead of the server 1 shown in fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a presentation system according to a specific example of the embodiment. In fig. 8, although the configuration of the server 1 described above is not shown, the server 1a is described assuming that it has the same configuration as the server 1 described above.

Specifically, the server 1a is different from the server 1 in that it includes the acquisition unit 19. The acquisition unit 19 is a processing unit for acquiring user information related to the user 5, and is realized by executing a predetermined program using a processor and a memory. For example, the acquisition unit 19 is realized as a function of the processing unit P1. The acquisition unit 19 acquires information related to the user 5 from a detection unit provided in each device, for example. Therefore, the acquisition unit 19 is communicably connected to the detection units provided in the various devices via, for example, the communication unit 10. The information obtained here will be described in detail later. The detector to be used by the acquisition unit 19 to acquire information may include, in addition to the detection unit 26 included in the presentation device 2, a detection unit 26a of the home appliance 8 owned by the user 5, a detection unit 26b of the measurement device 9 owned by the user 5, and the like. The acquisition unit 19 can also acquire user information from various external systems and the like. This configuration will be described later.

As described above, in the present specific example, the information presentation system 100 is an information presentation system 100 that presents any one of a plurality of meal offers to the user 5. Thus, the intermediate words in this specific example are words associated with attributes relating to one or more of the plurality of meal offers.

The information presentation system 100 according to this specific example operates as follows. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation of the information presentation system according to the specific example of the embodiment. As shown in fig. 9, first, the acquisition unit 19 acquires user information related to the user 5 (acquisition step S101). Next, the 1 st determining unit 11 determines condition information associated with the user 5 based on the acquired user information, and determines a plurality of intermediate words based on the condition information (the 1 st determining step S102). The condition information related to this specific example will be described later together with the description of the user information.

Next, the 1 st presentation unit 13 presents the plurality of intermediate words to the user 5 so that one or more intermediate words are selected from the plurality of intermediate words (the 1 st presentation step S103). Next, the 2 nd determining unit 12 determines a meal offer corresponding to one or more than one interword selected by the user 5 among the plurality of meal offers (the 2 nd determining step S104). Next, the 2 nd prompting section 14 prompts the decided meal offer to the user 5 (2 nd prompting step 105). This provides an advantage that the convenience of the user 5 is improved in the meal proposal and the meaning of the user 5 is easily reflected.

The intermediate word presented as described above can be deleted by the judgment of the user 5. For example, fig. 10 is a diagram illustrating a case where a subword is deleted in a specific example of the embodiment. In fig. 10, the intermediate word B1 before the deletion request is transmitted is shown on the left, and the intermediate word B1 after the deletion request is transmitted is shown on the right. As shown in fig. 10, the user 5 can request whether or not to delete the interword B1 once prompted, respectively. For example, the user 5 long-presses and taps the display screen 250 on the interword B1 that is desired to be deleted. Then, a sub-menu B2 for the intermediate word B1 is displayed. By selecting "delete" from this sub-menu B2, the intermediate word selected by the user 5 in the intermediate word B1 is deleted.

Further, deletion here includes temporarily setting to a non-cued state and permanently setting to a non-cued state. For example, information such as "rape term" which is highly meaningful to be notified to the user 5 may be appropriate to similarly present the term as the term approaches when rape is newly purchased. On the other hand, a prompt reflecting the action characteristics of the user 5, such as "short time" may be permanently set to no prompt when the user 5 does not wish to prompt itself. Therefore, the configuration of the specific example can be selected as to whether the non-presentation state is temporary or permanent. Such selection is performed by, for example, the user 5 arbitrarily selecting either "delete" or "delete permanently" (not shown).

The deleted intermediary word B1 for which persistence is selected is managed as shown in fig. 11, for example. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a non-display list according to a specific example of the embodiment. As shown in fig. 11, the deleted intermediary word B1 for which the persistence is selected is registered in the non-display list. Such a non-display list is stored in the storage unit 17 or the like, and is updated every time the user 5 deletes the persistence of the intermediate word B1.

In the deletion of the intermediate word B1, the information presentation system 100 operates as follows. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation related to deletion of an intermediate word in a specific example according to the embodiment. As shown in fig. 12, the processing unit P1 first receives an input of a deletion request from the user 5 via the input unit 24 of the presentation apparatus 2 and the like (step S201 is received in the 1 st step). Upon receiving the deletion request, the processing unit P1 changes the image presented by the presentation device 2, and deletes the presentation of the deletion target intermediate word B1 from the plurality of presented intermediate words B1 (step S202). Further, the processing unit P1 determines whether the deletion request is temporary deletion or permanent deletion (not shown), and registers the intermediate word B1 to be deleted in the non-display list when permanent deletion is made (registration step S203).

Then, in the 1 st decision step S102, the 1 st decision unit 11 decides to present a plurality of intermediate words excluding the intermediate words to be deleted registered in the non-display list based on the condition information. As a result, the intermediary word B1 registered in the non-display list is no longer displayed in the subsequent processing. In addition, it is also possible to make the intermediate word B1 again presentable by additionally canceling the registration of the intermediate word B1 registered in the non-display list based on the operation performed by the user 5.

The intermediate word B1 presented as described above can be displayed and updated by the judgment of the user 5. For example, fig. 13 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which an intermediate word is updated according to a specific example of the embodiment. In fig. 13, the intermediate word B1 before the update request is transmitted is shown on the left, and the intermediate word B1 after the update request is transmitted is shown on the right. As shown in fig. 13, with respect to the intermediate word B1 prompted once, if the user 5 determines that there is no desired intermediate word B1, the user 5 can request updating of the displayed intermediate word B1. For example, the user 5 will press and tap a certain long on the display 250 that is prompted with the interword B1. Then, the sub menu B2 is displayed. By selecting "display update" from this sub-menu B2, a new intermediate word B1 is prompted in place of the prompted intermediate word B1.

In the update of the intermediate word B1, the information presentation system 100 operates as follows. Fig. 14 is a flowchart showing an operation related to the update of the intermediate word in the specific example according to the embodiment. As shown in fig. 14, the processing unit P1 first receives an input of an update request from the user 5 via the input unit 24 of the presentation device 2 and the like (step S301 is received in the 2 nd step). Upon receiving the delete request, the 3 rd determining unit (not shown) included in the processing unit P1 determines a plurality of updated intermediate words B1, which are different from the plurality of intermediate words presented in the 1 st presenting step S102, based on the condition information (the 3 rd determining step S302). Further, the 3 rd presentation unit (not shown) included in the processing unit P1 presents the plurality of update headwords to the user 5 so as to select one or more update headwords (the 3 rd presentation step S303).

The 3 rd determination unit may be realized by the 1 st determination unit 11. In this case, the 1 st determining unit 11 is an example of the 3 rd determining unit. The 3 rd presentation unit may be realized by the 1 st presentation unit 13. In this case, the 1 st presentation unit 13 is an example of the 3 rd presentation unit. For example, when determining the intermediate word B1, the 1 st determining unit 11 determines the number of intermediate words B1 to be presented, of which the first ones are presented according to a predetermined criterion. Then, if the update request is accepted, the intermediate word B1 corresponding to the next group among the plurality of intermediate words B1 decided by the 1 st decision unit 11 may be presented again. Thus, the updated intermediate word can be presented without interruption without having to go through the process of newly determining the intermediate word B1.

The learning unit 18 described in the above embodiment may learn the tendency of the intermediate word B1 that is not necessarily presented to the user 5, based on the deletion and display update of the intermediate word B1. The learning model generated as a result can be used to determine whether or not the headword candidate provisionally determined by the 1 st determining unit 11 when determining the headword is the headword B1 to be presented to the user 5.

In addition, in the present specific example, the highly frequently selected intermediate word B1 among the presented intermediate words B1 may be presented in a form that is easier to select. Specifically, the acquiring unit 19 further acquires the selection frequency, which is the frequency of selection of each of the plurality of intermediate words B1 presented in the past, and presents the plurality of intermediate words B1 in a more emphasized form in the 1 st presenting step S103, depending on the selection frequency, for example, the greater the selection frequency. The highlighted form may be, for example, a form in which the size of the label described above is large, a form in which the color is different from that of the other intermediate word B1, or a form in which a label having a shape different from that of the other intermediate word B1 is provided. The form emphasized here may be any form as long as it is a form that more easily attracts the attention of the user 5 than the other intermediate word B1.

Further, in this specific example, information about the value of the material held by the user 5 based on the rarity or price of the material is acquired, and the interword B1 is presented in a form according to the acquired value of the material. Therefore, the acquisition unit 19 acquires information on the value of the food material held by the user 5. For example, the acquiring unit 19 may acquire the name and price of the food material purchased by the user 5 via a website or the like, or may automatically collect information on rareness using the name of the food material and generate a tag associated with the name of the food material. Since the value of the food material is also large for the user 5, the information presentation system 100 may have a preference for the food material by the user 5 in advance and calculate the value based on the preference.

As a result, in the 1 st presentation step S103, the plurality of interverns B1 can be presented in a form according to the value of the food material. For example, fig. 15 is a diagram illustrating a middle word presented in a form according to the value of the food material in the specific example according to the embodiment. As shown in fig. 15, the intermediary B1 of the more expensive "bluefin tuna" and the like is presented in an emphasized form compared with the intermediary B1 of the less expensive "saury" and "horse mackerel" and the like. More specifically, the intermediate word B1 such as "bluefin tuna" which is relatively expensive is presented in a form in which the size of the tag is larger than that of the other intermediate word B1. Here, the intermediate word B1 may be presented in a form in which the higher the value of the food material, the more emphasized the form, and the form is not particularly limited.

Further, in combination with the presentation of the intermediary word relating to the consumption time limit of the food material as described above in the example of the intermediary word B1 of "rape time limit", when the consumption time limit is close, the user may be more emphatically presented that the consumption time limit is close to a bluefin tuna which is more expensive than saury and horse mackerel. For example, when the period to the consumption date of the pacific saury and the small scad is 1 day, or when the period to the consumption date of the bluefin tuna is two days, the bluefin tuna may be highlighted. In this way, the value of the food material may be used for adjustment of the time threshold value in presentation of the interword relating to the consumption deadline of the food material. Note that, regarding the food material whose remaining period is the same until the consumption deadline, the presentation of the participle B1 may be performed only in a form emphasized according to the value of the food material. For example, when the period of time from the expiration date of pacific saury to the expiration date of bluefin tuna is 1 day, it may be presented in a form in which the bluefin tuna is emphasized by providing a larger label as shown in the figure.

(4.2) relationship between user information and Condition information

The following describes the relationship between the user information and the condition information in this specific example. For example, in the present specific example, as shown in fig. 16, a headword B1 based on the acquired user information is presented. Fig. 16 is a diagram illustrating a middle word presented based on user information according to a specific example of the embodiment. As shown in fig. 16, the intermediate word B1 presented in the present specific example may include an intermediate word that improves the degree of health of the user 5 ("at-rest weight" in the figure), an intermediate word that follows an action estimated from the action characteristics of the user 5 ("topic" in the SNS in the figure), an intermediate word related to a meal that can be prepared within the cookable time of the user 5 ("out-of-band" in the figure), an intermediate word that promotes improvement of the cooking ability of the user 5 ("challenge new cooking method" in the figure), and the like. The following description will be made in detail.

(4.2.1) Condition information in view of health degree

First, user information related to information for improving the degree of health of the user 5 will be described. Here, the user information is acquired from an external schedule management system, the measurement device 9, the home appliance device 8, and the like. The user information contains, for example, a schedule relating to the date and time when the user 5 performed the exercise. The user information includes vital sign information of the user 5 obtained from a stationary type, a portable type or an in-vivo implanted type device such as a sphygmomanometer, a blood glucose level measuring instrument, a toilet lid with a warm water washing function, a weighing scale, an activity meter, and a thermometer, which are examples of the measuring device 9. The user information includes information on insufficient sleep based on a time difference between going to bed and getting up or a sleep quality, which is acquired from devices such as bedding, a lighting device, and an air conditioning device, which are examples of the home appliance device 8. The user information includes information on date and time and location information acquired from a device such as a timekeeping device as an example of the presentation device 2 or the home appliance device 8.

The user information includes examination results such as examination values in medical institutions, and diagnosis results such as names of diseases and diagnoses. In contrast, a method in which the user 5 himself/herself captures an image of a sheet on which a diagnosis result is recorded with a camera or the like, a method in which the sheet is acquired via a network in cooperation with a server or the like of the medical institution, or the like can be applied. Further, the user information may be acquired from a cooperative application in cooperation with an application related to health such as running or exercise. The user information includes information on basic health functions such as the history of running or exercise, physical information, the number of heartbeats, blood pressure, and activity level, and the like, from a cooperative application. Further, if the cooperative application is configured to be able to store the user information in a storage server or the like on the network, the user information may be acquired from the storage server or the like via the cooperative application. Including information on date and time and position information acquired from a device such as a timer device as an example of the presentation device 2 or the home appliance device 8.

For example, as the condition information determined based on the user information, a target for taking nutrition is set based on the information on the degree of health and exercise performed by the user 5. And, the intermediary word corresponding to the set intake nutrition is determined. For example, when the user 5 has a large amount of exercise, it is estimated that the user 5 desires to increase the muscle strength as the condition information, and therefore, the intermediary word B1 such as "effectively increase the muscle strength" is presented, and a meal proposal with a relatively large amount of protein is made. Further, for example, when the exercise amount of the user 5 is small, since it is estimated that the user 5 wants to suppress the increase in weight as the condition information, the intermediate word B1 such as "weight on purpose" is presented and a low calorie meal proposal is made. In addition, in the case of eating a meal late at night, the intermediate word B1 of "weight is being looked at" and the like is also presented, and a meal proposal of low calorie is made.

For example, when a disturbance in the intestinal environment is detected from the state of excretion of the user 5, the user 5 is assumed to aim at normalization of the intestinal environment as condition information, and thus the intermediary word B1 such as "gastrointestinal condition adjustment" is presented, and a meal proposal with prebiotics and probiotics adjusted is made. Further, for example, when a state such as menstruation or pregnancy is detected from the state of excretion of the user 5, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires support from the aspect of meals during menstruation or pregnancy as the condition information, the intermediary B1 of "support menstruation or pregnancy" or the like is presented, and a meal proposal for supplementing micronutrients such as iron content or folic acid which are easily deficient is made.

Further, for example, when a state such as abnormal urine glucose is detected from the state of excrement of the user 5, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires to improve diabetes and the like as the condition information, the intermediary B1 of "being aware of the blood glucose level" and the like are presented, and a meal proposal for smoothing the rise of the blood glucose level is made. In addition, a trick such as a eating style for smoothly raising the blood sugar level may be presented together with the meal proposal. For example, when a state such as hypertension is detected from the state of the blood pressure value of the user 5, the user 5 is estimated to wish to improve the hypertension as the condition information, and therefore, the intermediary B1 such as "blood pressure attention" is presented and a meal proposal for controlling the salt content is made.

Further, for example, when a state such as high fatigue is detected from the state such as the amount of activity of the user 5, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires to recover from fatigue as the condition information, the intermediary B1 such as "recovering from fatigue in tomorrow" is presented, and a meal proposal such as a vitamin balance is made.

Further, as the condition information determined based on the user information, for example, information such as the degree of stress or insufficient sleep of the user 5 is set so that the effect of curing by the reduction of the cooking load and the meal can be obtained. Then, the intermediate word corresponding to the set cooking load and the cure effect is determined. For example, when a state such as excessive physical activity or insufficient sleep of the user 5 is detected, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires to obtain a cure effect by the reduction of the cooking load and the meal as the condition information, the intermediary B1 of "good rest and relaxation" or the like is presented, and a meal proposal for which a relaxation effect can be expected and a meal proposal for which the cooking man-hour is small or the delivery service is utilized are made.

As described above, in this specific example, the user information may be information related to the degree of health of the user 5, and the condition information may include information related to a condition for improving the degree of health of the user 5.

(4.2.2) Condition information in view of action characteristics

Next, user information related to information following an action estimated from the action characteristics of the user 5 will be described. Here, the user information is acquired from a web server, the home appliance device 8, an external schedule management system, a sensor device, and the like. The user information includes, for example, information with positive emotion (for example, information that is liked or written with positive comments in a Social Network Service (SNS)) among information that the user 5 has touched via a website or the like. The user information includes information (information based on channel information, program information, and the like) that is touched by an information appliance such as a television. For example, as the condition information determined based on the user information, the category of the related meal offer is set based on the object in which the user 5 has an interest. For example, when a specific region is detected as an object of interest to the user 5, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires a meal experience relating to a specific place as the condition information, the intermediary B1 such as "local cuisine" is presented, and a meal proposal such as a traditional cuisine of the specific region is made. Further, for example, when a predetermined food is detected as an object of interest to the user 5, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires a dining experience similar to the predetermined food as the condition information, the "food category: b1, and a meal offer such as a food belonging to a category to which a predetermined food belongs.

On the other hand, for example, as the condition information determined based on the user information, when the user 5 has experienced the object of interest or a sufficient period of time has not elapsed since the previous experience, the condition information is set to a category or the like avoiding the meal offer associated with the object.

Further, the user information includes, for example, a schedule on which the user 5 of the event or the like can experience a special experience. In this case, as the condition information determined based on the user information, the type of the related meal offer and the like are set based on the event in which the user 5 participates. For example, when a peach blossom day, a clown day, or the like is detected as an event in which the user 5 participates, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires a meal experience regarding the event as the condition information, the intermediary word B1 of "peach blossom day's cooking" or the like is presented, and a meal offer such as cooking related to the event is made.

Further, the user information includes, for example, climate information of candidates for meals which the user 5 can narrow down, such as a temperature difference between day and night of the day. For example, when a difference in temperature of 5 degrees or more is detected, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires a hot or cold meal experience as the condition information, the intermediary B1 such as "hot meal" is presented, and a meal proposal such as hot meal is made.

The user information includes, for example, information for determining the time and position of the food material that can be obtained. For example, when the current time and the position of the user 5 are detected, it is estimated as the condition information that it is desirable to use a meal of a food material that is available in a store that is caught before the closing of the store and that is as inexpensive as possible, and therefore, the intermediary B1 such as "buy the food material from now on" is presented, and a meal offer such as a meal that can be cooked with the food material available as described above is made. In addition, information of stores to be taken by the user may be presented at this time.

Note that the user information may be only a schedule for acquiring a anniversary or the like. For example, in the case where a schedule of a memorial day or the like is detected, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires a meal experience associated with the memorial day as the condition information, the interject B1 of "wedding memorial day" or the like is presented, and a meal offer inferred from a meal eaten on the past wedding memorial day is made.

In addition, information such as acquisition of a favorite food material may be acquired as the user information. For example, when it is detected that a favorite food material is obtained while the favorite food material is being learned, since it is estimated that the user 5 desires to use a meal of the favorite food material as the condition information, the intermediary B1 such as "lamb-used meal" is presented, and a meal proposal using lamb is made. Further, for example, when it is detected that a meal using a favorite food material has not been eaten for a long time in a state where the favorite food material is learned, since it is estimated that the user 5 wants to use the meal of the favorite food material as the condition information, the intermediary B1 such as "lamb-using dish" is presented and a meal proposal using lamb is made.

Further, for example, when there are a plurality of diners who assume a meal, such as a family consisting of a plurality of persons, it is possible to estimate which diner is the center of which condition information is set, based on a selection tendency of past meal proposals. For example, for a user 5 who has selected a meal offer with a child-oriented flag in a relatively large number, the user information may be obtained from a family corresponding to a child among the families of the user 5. On the other hand, for example, for a user 5 who has selected a meal offer with a flag for adults in a relatively large number, the user information may be acquired from a family corresponding to an adult among the families of the user 5.

The user information includes information on the cooking cycle of the user 5, for example. For example, when a tendency that a relatively large amount of cooking time is provided on the 1 st day and the 3 rd day among the 7 consecutive days is obtained, it is estimated that the user 5 desires to collectively cook on the 1 st day and the 3 rd day as the condition information, and therefore, the intermediary word B1 such as "ready-to-keep" is presented on the 1 st day and the 3 rd day, and a meal proposal such as a meal that can be done in advance is made. On the other hand, on day 2 and 4 to 7, the intermediary B1 of "short time" or the like is presented, and a meal proposal centered on the consumption of a prepared meal is made.

The user information includes information on the cooking tendency of the user 5, for example. For example, when it is detected that a food material or the like conforming to the tendency is obtained in a state where information on a cooking tendency such as a tendency to use a cooking appliance such as a range or a grill relatively frequently or a cooking tendency such as a tendency to fry food frequently or a lot of single-dish cooking is learned, a half word B1 such as "as usual" is presented, and a meal proposal such as a cooking tendency is made.

As described above, in this specific example, the user information may be information related to the action characteristics of the user 5, and the condition information may include information related to conditions for following an action estimated from the action characteristics of the user 5.

(4.2.3) Condition information in view of cookability time

Next, user information on meals that can be prepared within the cookable time of the user 5 will be described. Here, the user information is acquired from an external schedule management system, the home appliance device 8, the sensor device, and the like. The user information includes, for example, a schedule related to a time at which the user 5 cannot use for cooking. The user information includes information such as operating conditions acquired from devices such as a washing machine, a sweeper, and a dishwasher, which are examples of the home appliance 8. The user information includes information on the activity status of the user 5 and the remaining amount of housework, which is the amount of housework not performed, acquired from devices such as a camera, a microphone, and a thermal image sensor, which are examples of sensor devices. The user information may include information on how busy the user 5 is determined by machine learning or the like based on flick timing or the like, such as the number of times the application is started up and the push notification acquired from the presentation device 2.

For example, as the condition information determined based on the user information, a cooking time that can be prepared within a cookable time based on a time, an operating state, an activity state, and a remaining amount of housework that the user 5 cannot use for cooking is set. Then, an intermediate word corresponding to the set cooking time is determined. For example, when there is a cooking recipe that can be cooked within the cookable time of the user 5 and the user 5 holds a food material that can cook the cooking recipe, since it is estimated that the user 5 wishes to cook the cooking recipe using the food material as the condition information, the intermediary word B1 such as "can cook during the remaining time" is presented and a meal proposal for cooking the cooking recipe is made.

Further, for example, when there is no food which can be cooked within the cookable time of the user 5, since it is estimated that the user 5 does not wish to cook food as the condition information, the intermediary B1 of "out meal" or "ready-to-eat meal" is presented, and a shop adjacent to which out meal or ready-to-eat meal can be realized is presented based on the position information of the user 5 or the like.

As the meal proposal presented by the above processing, a proposal in which the total of the cooking time, the dining time, and the pickup time is included in the cookable time may be made. For example, a meal proposal conforming to the taste of a child, such as a meal proposal that does not require much time for the child to eat, or a meal proposal such as a single-bowl dish, which uses a small number of dishes, may be made. In addition, when the dining time is less than a predetermined threshold value, a meal proposal can be made with a meal that is relatively well digested.

On the other hand, when a relatively large amount of cookable time can be set, the intermediary B1 of "diet education" or "ready-to-do" may be presented, and the presentation of effective use of the cookable time by the user 5 may be performed. In this case, a help point or the like in diet education may be presented together.

As described above, in this specific example, the user information may be information on the cookable time available for the user 5 to cook the meal, and the condition information may include information on conditions under which the meal can be prepared within the cookable time of the user 5.

(4.2.4) Condition information in view of cooking ability

Next, user information related to information that promotes improvement of cooking performance of the user 5 will be described. Here, the user information is acquired from the storage unit 17 and the like. The user information includes, for example, information on cooking history related to history of cooking performed by the user 5 in the past.

For example, as the condition information determined based on the user information, it is set that the user 5 promotes improvement of cooking capability. Then, a middle word corresponding to the improvement of the set cooking ability is determined. For example, when it is detected from the cooking history of the user 5 that a predetermined number of times of cooking at a certain level has been completed, it is estimated as the condition information that the user 5 desires to present a cooking accompanied by cooking at a level higher than the certain level, and therefore, the intermediary word B1 such as "cooking level up" is presented, and a meal proposal for cooking the above-described cooking is made. Further, for example, when it is detected from the cooking history of the user 5 that a predetermined number of times of cooking at a certain level has been completed, the user 5 is estimated to be rewarded for the cooking as the condition information, and therefore, the intermediary word B1 such as "reward for effort" is presented, and a meal proposal such as meal going out using a coupon or the like is made.

As described above, in this specific example, the user information may be information relating to cooking ability of the user 5 when cooking a meal, and the condition information may include information relating to a condition for promoting improvement of the cooking ability of the user 5.

The term corresponding to the attribute of the meal offer refers to a term commonly associated with the attribute, and may be said to be a term associated with the attribute. Specifically, for example, "short time" and "time limit" are exemplified as the intermediate word B1 corresponding to "cooking time", but words in a range where a general association with the length of time is made, such as "agility", "great hands and feet are done", "free ease of carelessness", and "leisure" may be used. In such a selection of words, a general word is selected at a point in time when the user 5 uses the information presentation system 10. Therefore, the server 1a may store the candidates of the word "general" by reading a new website or the like whose date and time is updated transversely at regular intervals, or the manager of the server 1a may manage by adding or deleting the candidates of the word "general". Further, it is also possible to learn what vocabulary is selected by the user 5 at the time of input to another application such as a text editor, and to select a word corresponding to an attribute individually for the user 5.

(4.6) summary of concrete examples of implementation

As described above, the information presentation method of the present example is an information presentation method of presenting a certain meal offer to the user 5 from among a plurality of meal offers, and includes: an acquisition step of acquiring user information related to the user 5; a1 st determination step of determining condition information related to the user 5 from the acquired user information, and determining a plurality of intermediate words B1 based on the condition information; a1 st presentation step of presenting the plurality of intermediate words B1 to the user 5 so as to select one or more intermediate words B1 from the plurality of intermediate words B1; a decision step of deciding a meal offer corresponding to one or more than one interword B1 selected by the user 5 among the plurality of meal offers; and a 2 nd prompting step of prompting the decided meal offer to the user 5; the plurality of intermediate words B1 are words corresponding to attributes relating to one or more of the plurality of meal proposals.

According to such an information presentation method, a meal proposal to the user 5 can be decided by presenting the interword B1 based on the user information. The intermediate word B1 is a word that is easily selected according to the current situation of the user 5 based on the user information. In this way, the meal proposal conforming to the situation of the user 5 is made only by selecting the interword B1 conforming to the situation thought or felt by the user 5, so that the meal proposal easily reflecting the meaning of the user 5 while improving the convenience of the user 5 can be made.

For example, the user information may be information related to the degree of health of the user 5, and the condition information may include information related to a condition for improving the degree of health of the user 5.

This makes it possible to acquire user information relating to the degree of health of the user 5, determine the intermediate word B1 on the basis of the condition that the degree of health of the user 5 is improved, and present the intermediate word.

For example, the user information may be information related to the action characteristics of the user 5, and the condition information may include information related to a condition for following an action estimated from the action characteristics of the user 5.

This makes it possible to acquire user information relating to the behavior characteristics of the user 5, determine the intermediate word B1 on the basis of a condition that the user follows an action estimated from the behavior characteristics of the user 5, and present the intermediate word.

For example, the user information may be information on a cookable time available for the user 5 to cook a meal, and the condition information may include information on a condition that the meal can be prepared within the cookable time of the user 5.

This makes it possible to acquire user information on the cookable time available to the user 5 for cooking the meal, and determine and present the intermediate word B1 on the basis of the condition that the meal can be prepared within the cookable time of the user 5.

For example, the user information may be information related to cooking ability of the user 5 when cooking a meal, and the condition information may include information related to a condition for promoting improvement of the cooking ability of the user 5.

This makes it possible to acquire user information on the cooking ability of the user 5 when cooking a meal, and determine and present the intermediate word B1 on the basis of a condition that promotes improvement in the cooking ability of the user 5.

For example, after the 1 st presentation step, the method may further include: a1 st reception step of receiving an update request from a user 5; a 3 rd determination step of determining, when the update request is accepted, a plurality of update intermediate words different from the plurality of intermediate words B1 presented in the 1 st presentation step, based on the condition information; and a 3 rd presentation step of presenting the determined plurality of update interword to the user 5 so as to select one or more update interword.

Thus, if the user 5 determines that there is no word that follows his own idea, situation, or the like among the presented intermediate words B1, it is possible to request presentation of an updated intermediate word that is different from the presented intermediate word B1. This can improve the effect of reflecting the intention of the user 5 more easily.

For example, after the 1 st presentation step, a 2 nd reception step of receiving a deletion request of an intermediary word B1 selected as a deletion target by the user 5 from among the plurality of intermediary words B1 may be further included; when a deletion request is accepted, the deletion target intermediate word B1 is deleted from the plurality of presented intermediate words B1.

Thus, for example, if a restriction or the like is set on the number of suggested intermediate words B1, a situation may occur in which a part of the range is masked by the less selected intermediate word B1. In this case, since the intermediate words B1 that are not selected so much can be deleted, the number of intermediate words B1 to be presented can be used to the maximum. As a result, the possibility that the intermediate word B1 following the idea, situation, or the like of the user 5 can be presented is increased, and therefore, the effect of reflecting the meaning of the user 5 more easily can be improved.

For example, the method may further include a registration step of registering the delete target intermediary word B1 in the non-display list when the delete request is accepted; in the 1 st decision step, a plurality of intermediate words B1 that are based on the condition information and exclude the intermediate word B1 of the deletion object registered in the non-display list are decided.

Thus, since deletion of the intermediate word B1 can be made permanent, the user 5 can prevent the intermediate word B1 from being presented later, which does not follow his own idea or situation. As a result, the possibility that the intermediate word B1 following the idea, situation, or the like of the user 5 can be presented is increased, and therefore, the effect of reflecting the meaning of the user 5 more easily can be improved.

For example, information on the value of the food material held by the user 5 may be acquired, and the value of the food material may be based on the rarity or price of the food material; in the 1 st presentation step, a plurality of the intermediary terms B1 are presented in a form corresponding to the value of the food material.

This allows the display mode of the intermediate word B1 to be changed based on the general value, the value inherent to the user 5, or the like. As a result, in the case where the term of the high-value food material is approaching, or in the case where the high-value food material has not been handled and placed after purchase, or the like, the user can be effectively made to recognize the situation again, and a meal proposal using the food material can also be proposed. This can improve the convenience of the user and easily reflect the intention of the user 5.

For example, the selection frequency of each of the plurality of intermediate words B1 presented in the past may be acquired; in the 1 st presentation step, a plurality of intermediate words B1 are presented in a form corresponding to the selection frequency.

This makes it possible to distinguish and handle the intermediary word B1 selected with a relatively high frequency from the intermediary word B1 selected with a relatively low frequency or not selected. For example, since the intermediate word B1 selected with a relatively high frequency can be estimated to follow the thought, situation, or the like of the user 5, such an intermediate word B1 can be presented with more emphasis. Therefore, the effect of easily reflecting the intention of the user 5 while improving the convenience of the user can be enhanced.

The program of the present example is a program for causing a computer to execute the information presentation method described above.

This makes it possible to use a computer to achieve the same effects as those of the information presentation method described above.

The information presentation system 100 of the present example is an information presentation system for presenting any one of a plurality of meal offers related to a meal to a user, and includes: an acquisition unit that acquires user information associated with a user; a1 st determination unit configured to determine condition information associated with the user based on the acquired user information and determine a plurality of intermediate words based on the condition information; a1 st presentation unit that presents the plurality of intermediate words to a user so that the user selects one or more intermediate words from the plurality of intermediate words; a 2 nd determining unit configured to determine a meal offer corresponding to the one or more than one interword selected by the user among the plurality of meal offers; and a 2 nd prompting step of prompting the determined meal offer to the user; the plurality of intermediate words are words corresponding to attributes related to one or more of the plurality of meal offers.

Thus, the information presentation system 100 can be realized that can achieve the same effects as the above-described information presentation method.
