An operation panel 111 for inputting cooking conditions (change conditions) such as 10 and cooking amount (number of people) is provided. The semiconductor memory card 104 serves to supply the cooking data received by the terminal device 103 to the microwave oven 105.

(Embodiment 1) An example in which the cooking data providing apparatus of the present invention is applied to the server 101 will be described.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional arrangement of the main parts of the server 101. In FIG. 2, the data receiving unit 20
1 (change condition input means) is adapted to receive cooking conditions designated by a user or the like via the communication network 102. As the above-mentioned cooking conditions, for example, conditions such as cooking amount (number of people), material restrictions (allergic items), calorie restrictions (whether loafat or not), salt and sugar restrictions (whether conservative or not) are used. Depending on these cooking conditions, the cooking appliance control data (information for controlling the cooking appliance) such as the material, the amount of the material, and the heating time is changed as described later. Here, the cooking appliance control data includes, for example, the heating time by the microwave oven 105, the heating temperature, the heating output, the heating mode (range heating or oven heating), and changes with time. Cooking data DB 202 (cooking data holding means)
In the (DB: database), for example, text data showing recipes such as cooking ingredients and amounts, cooking procedures, image data showing an image of completion of the recipes and images for cooking advice, and temperature setting of cooking equipment during cooking. Cooking data including control data on output, output, heating time, etc. is stored. Specifically, for example, FIG.
In order to display the material list as shown in FIG.
The data as shown in (b) is stored. A change rule for changing the cooking data (specifically, for example, FIG. 6A described later) is stored in the change rule DB 203, and the change data DB 204 is used for the change, for example, of an alternative material. Change data such as a list (more specifically, for example, FIG. 6B described later) is stored. The cooking data changing unit 205 (cooking data changing unit) uses the above-described change rule and the changed data based on the cooking condition received by the data receiving unit 201, and an interface (cooking data input unit) (not shown) from the cooking data DB 202. ) Is changed, and the data transmission unit 206 (output means) transmits the changed cooking data to the user or the like via the communication network 102.

Next, the change of cooking data will be described.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of cooking conditions designated by a user or the like and items of cooking data changed corresponding thereto. As shown in the figure, for example, when the cooking amount is designated, the amount of the material needs to be changed, and accordingly, the cooking appliance control data such as the heating time needs to be changed. Further, when the material restrictions such as allergic items are specified, the material needs to be changed, and when the specific heat of the material is different, the heating time and the like also need to be changed.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a changing method for each change item. As shown in the figure, for example, the material can be changed by replacing it with an alternative material or selecting from a plurality of materials. Here, although the above-mentioned replacement and selection can obtain the same result, the contents stored in the cooking data DB 202, the change rule DB 203, and the change data DB 204 are different as described later. Further, the quantity and the cooking appliance control data can be changed by replacement or selection as in the above, and can also be changed by correction by calculation.

An example of a specific changing method will be described below.

(Changing cooking data by switching) As an example in which cooking data is changed by switching the contents of cooking data, calorie restriction is specified by cooking conditions,
An example in which “beef” in the cooking data of FIG. 3B is changed to “chicken” will be described. In this case, for example, the change rule stored in the change rule DB 203 and as shown in FIG.
Change data (replacement table) as shown in FIG. 6B is used. In the cooking data change unit 205, the following operation is performed according to each line of the change rule. (1) When the calorie moderation flag under the cooking conditions specified by the user is set, (2) For example, it is surrounded by “<tr>” and “</ tr>” in FIG. 3B. For each line (item), (3) The calorie of the material name (item.itemName) contained in that line is "HI" according to the replacement table in Fig. 6 (b).
If it is displayed (for example, “beef”) (4) According to the table, the above material name (item.itemNam
e) Check the class (ClassName), which is a classification (in the case of "beef", it is "meat"). (5) For each item (itemName) in the table, (6) If the class (getClassName) for that item is Same as the class of material name (item.itemName) above, and
Check whether the calorie (getCalorie (itemName)) is "LO", and if so (for example, "chicken") (7) Replace the material names ("beef" to "chicken") (8) ) Further, the cooking appliance control data (for example, heating time) is obtained from the heating constant and the quantity corresponding to the specific heat of the material. More specifically, for example, when it can be considered that the amount of material and the heating time have a linear relationship, heating according to the changed material and amount is performed by multiplying the heating constant by the ratio of the amount. You can ask for time. Further, the heating time or the like may be obtained by a function or a table showing the relationship between the amount of material and the heating time.

If the above item (6) does not apply, the other items in the replacement table (FIG. 6 (b)) are also examined in the same manner, and the respective items in FIG.
Repeat (8).

By making such a change, a list of materials as shown in FIG. 6C is displayed instead of FIG. 3A, and the heating time (not shown) is changed. Will be changed accordingly.

Note that, for example, the change of the heating time is not limited to the one obtained from the heating constant and the quantity according to the specific heat of the material as described above, but the heating time for the original material and the material to be changed from the original material It may be obtained from the ratio of the specific heat of

Further, it is also possible to store the change data in which the material name and the substitute material name are associated with each other as shown in FIG. 7 in the change data DB 204 and change the material and cooking appliance control data. .

(Changing cooking data by selection) The cooking data itself includes a plurality of choices in the contents of the cooking data, and the amount of the material is selected according to the value of the cooking amount (the number of people) which is a parameter of the cooking condition. An example will be described.

The cooking data of this example includes two options surrounded by "<sel>" and "</ sel>" as shown in FIG. 8 (a). Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), when the cooking amount is designated as the cooking condition for three persons,
As shown in FIG. 8C, the cooking data changing unit 205 changes “1/2 tbsp.” On the second line to the selected cooking data and transmits the cooking data.
5 is displayed as shown in FIG.

When the cooking data is changed in the terminal device 103 or the microwave oven 105 as described later, it is not always necessary to temporarily generate the data in the format as shown in FIG. 8C. Instead, the data may be directly changed to the format used for display.

In addition, when it is necessary to change other items such as cooking appliance control data as described in the example of the change due to the above-mentioned selection in accordance with the selection as described above, information indicating that is necessary. It may be embedded in the cooking data in the form of a comment or added as an additional condition to the cooking condition.

(Change of cooking data by correction) When the contents of cooking data can be changed by correction by calculation or the like, for example, a change rule as shown in FIG. 9A and a change rule as shown in FIG. Change data (attribute table) as shown is used. In the cooking data change unit 205, the following operation is performed according to each line of the change rule. (1) When the salt sparing flag under the cooking conditions specified by the user is set, (2) For example, enclosed by "<tr>" and "</ tr>" in Fig. 3 (b). For each line (item), check whether (3) the class (getClassName), which is the classification of the material name (item.itemName) contained in that line, is "salt", and if so, (4) that line The amount contained in is corrected to 0.5.

The above steps (2) to (4) are repeated for each material shown in FIG. 3 (b).

By making such a change, cooking data in which only the amounts of "soy sauce" and "oyster sauce" are changed as shown in FIG. 9 (c) is generated, and is shown in FIG. 9 (d). A list of such materials will be displayed. Further, if necessary, the heating time and the like may be changed in the same manner as the change by the replacement ((8) in FIG. 6A).

In the changing method as described above, the contents of the change can be obtained by uniformly performing relatively simple arithmetic operations such as four arithmetic operations, and the cooking condition parameter and the cooking data value have a linear relationship. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cooking data may be changed using a function or a simulation.

In the above example, the data receiving unit 201
The example in which the cooking condition received in step 4 is input to the cooking data changing unit 205 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the cooking condition temporarily stored in the storage device may be input.

When the cooking data modified by the server 101 is sent to the terminal device 103 as described above, the data transmission capacity can be easily suppressed to a small value.

(Second Embodiment) An example in which the cooking data providing device of the present invention is applied to a personal computer which is the terminal device 103 will be described. In the following embodiments,
Constituent elements having the same functions as those in the first embodiment and the like are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 10, the terminal device 103 has a cooking data DB similar to that of the first embodiment (FIG. 1).
202, change rule DB 203, change data DB 20
4 and a cooking data changing unit 205 are provided.
The cooking data DB 202 and the like store cooking data, change rules, and change data downloaded from the server 101 via the communication network 102 and the data receiving unit 201 (cooking data input means). Further, the cooking data changing unit 205 stores the input unit 211 such as a keyboard for inputting cooking conditions, and the cooking data changed by the cooking data changing unit 205 and output through an interface (output means) not shown. A display unit 212 (display means) for inputting and displaying the contents thereof, and a semiconductor memory for holding cooking data changed by the cooking data changing unit 205 similarly and output through an interface (output means) not shown. Card 1
04 (recording medium).

In the terminal device 103 configured as described above, cooking data and the like are sent from the server 101,
Although the cooking condition is input from the input unit 211 and the changed cooking data is output to the display unit 212, the cooking data changing unit 205 changes the cooking data itself. Is the same. therefore,
The cooking data according to a desired cooking condition can be easily displayed on the display unit 212 without downloading or selecting cooking data according to various cooking conditions. Further, since the server 101 need only send each data, the load on the server 101 can be suppressed to be small.

The changed cooking data may be displayed on the display unit 212 instead of or as well as on the display unit 212 as described above.
It may be transferred to the microwave oven 105 or the like via the device 4 or the like, and may be displayed on these devices or used for controlling the devices.

Further, the terminal device 103 is not limited to the personal computer as described above, but a so-called set top box or the like may be used so that the same function can be obtained.

(Embodiment 3) An example in which the cooking data providing apparatus of the present invention is applied to the microwave oven 105 which is a cooking appliance will be described.

As shown in FIG. 11, the microwave oven 105 is provided with a cooking data changing unit 205. The cooking data change unit 205 has an operation panel 111 (change condition input means) for inputting cooking conditions, and a cooking data changed by the cooking data change unit 205 and output through an interface (output means) not shown. Liquid crystal screen 110 (display means) for inputting data and displaying the contents
And a cooking control unit 221 (control means) for controlling the heating time and the like based on cooking data input via an interface (output means) not shown. On the other hand, the semiconductor memory card 104 has the cooking data DB 20.
2. Change rule DB 203 and change data DB 20
4 so that the cooking data downloaded from the server 101 by the terminal device 103, the change rule, and the changed data are given to the cooking data change unit 205 via an interface (cooking data input means) not shown. Has become. In this way, the terminal device 103 or the communication network 102 may be directly connected without using the semiconductor memory card 104, or cooking data or the like may be input through a data broadcasting receiver or the like. May be.

Even when the cooking data changing unit 205 is provided in the cooking appliance as described above, the cooking data changing operation itself is the same as that in the first embodiment, and the cooking data corresponding to the desired cooking condition is also obtained. Can be easily displayed on the display unit 212 and the heating time can be controlled.

The cooking conditions, change items, and change method are as follows:
The ones shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.
For example, preferences such as the type and material of a favorite dish and seasoning may be included in the cooking conditions. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the cooking conditions include information indicating the user's favorite ingredients, the ingredients, the quantity, etc. may be changed based on the information. Good. In addition, FIG.
As shown in, the ingredients, the way of seasoning, etc. may be changed indirectly based on the information indicating the change condition regarding the cooking content such as the information indicating the area. The information indicating the area etc. is not limited to that set as information related to cooking, but may be an address, postal code, telephone number, etc. as personal information held in a personal computer for various purposes. Information may be used. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, the cooking data may be changed based on a health condition or the like obtained from a so-called electronic medical chart or health management information.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, information on the cooking appliances owned by the user (whether the oven is used or the microwave oven is used, the size of these outputs, the functions that these have, and specifications) It is also possible to change the cooking method, the cooking appliance control data, and the like based on conditions such as cooking appliances). Further, as shown in FIG. 16, information on the foodstuffs that the user normally purchases (for example, whether the type of rice that is often purchased is “Koshihikari”,
Whether it is "Sasanishiki" etc., electronic commerce (EC: El
ectronicCommerce) or credit card purchase information of food ingredients, etc., and the cooking method, cooking appliance control data, etc. may be changed based on this.

Although the cooking quantity in the above cooking conditions is the number of people, the cooking quantity is further determined by the family conditions such as age and sex, lifestyle habits (for example, whether a small meal or not), and the like. It may be possible to make detailed changes.

For the convenience of explanation, calorie restriction, salt restriction, etc. are two-step conditions ("HI" or "LO", whether or not salt is reserved). The number may be set in multiple stages, or may be specified by a specific numerical value (caloric value or salt content), and is not limited to one-time cooking, but within one day or within a predetermined period. The cumulative value of may be used as a condition. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, the calorie intake at breakfast is 500 k.
The amount of meat to be cooked may be changed depending on whether it is equal to or more than cal.

Further, in the above example, for the sake of simplification of description, an example in which each change content is uniquely determined by each cooking condition has been shown. For example, when changing the material, the material restriction and the calorie restriction are comprehensively judged. The ingredients may be changed so that either condition is applied preferentially, or the ingredient change gives priority to the ingredient restriction, and the calorie limitation changes the quantity of the ingredient. You may be satisfied by doing so. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, the type of meat is determined according to the favorite food,
The amount of the meat may be determined by the calorie restriction.

Further, the change of the cooking data is not limited to the change of the cooking content itself, and whether the cooking procedure is expressed carefully or concisely, the size of the characters to be displayed and the like are specified by the user. You may change according to. That is, as shown in FIG. 19, for example, the details of the explanation may be changed depending on whether the user is a cooking expert or a beginner, or a link to a more detailed explanation (via a network or the like). 20 may be provided, or as shown in FIG. 20, the format such as the size of the displayed characters may be changed according to the age of the user.
Furthermore, depending on various change conditions such as the size of the display screen and the type of device to be displayed (whether it is displayed on a cooking device such as a microwave oven, a personal computer, a set top box, etc.) The size of characters and the like may be changed.

In the above example, the change rule and the change data are mainly input to the cooking data changing unit 205 to change the cooking data. However, similar to the selection example (FIG. 8), the replacement is performed. Even in the case of correction or correction, the change rule or change data may be included in the cooking data itself. Further, for example, the program that executes the processing as the cooking data changing unit 205 may substantially include the above-described change rules and change data. That is, when the change rules and the change data are provided independently, it is easy to handle them as general-purpose rules and the like, while when they are included in the cooking data, the cooking data is changed at the terminal. At this time, it is only necessary to download the cooking data, which facilitates transfer management. Further, when included in the change processing program, management of the change processing program and the like becomes easy.

Further, the cooking data can be changed by the server 101,
Not only the terminal device 103 or the microwave oven 105 is used, but if the load of the change process is relatively small, the terminal device 103 or the microwave oven 105 is used to perform the simulation of the nonlinear heating time. The server 101 to perform a process that requires
Depending on the amount of data to be transferred, it is possible to determine which device will perform the change process, and to change the processing conditions (highly private) such as family structure on the terminal device 103 side. Good.

Further, each component of each of the above embodiments is
It is not limited to being provided in each of the above devices, but may be provided in various devices to input, change, and display data. That is, for example, cooking data can be obtained by a portable information terminal including components other than the cooking control unit 221 in FIG. 11, a viewer (a portable recipe display device, etc.), a television, a set top box (and a television), a personal computer, or the like. May be changed or displayed. Also, the microwave oven 105
21, when cooking data is changed, cooking conditions input, acquired, and retained in another home electric appliance 301 (home electric appliance) or the like are electronically transmitted via a home network or the like, as shown in FIG. It may be transferred to the range 105. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 22, other home appliances that perform electronic commerce are inquired about the purchase history of foodstuffs, etc., and according to the response (or voluntarily notified from the other home appliances during electronic commerce, etc.). Microwave oven 1
The foodstuff may be changed based on the information accumulated in 05). On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 23, the cooking condition input in the microwave oven 105 is the viewer 302 including the cooking data changing unit 205 and the like.
