Here, the heat output of the heating appliance in the cooking content, or the product of the heat output of the heating appliance and the thermal efficiency means the amount of heat input to the food to be cooked, for example, using a cooking utensil on a stove. In such a case, it is necessary to consider the heat efficiency in consideration of the heat transfer coefficient and the heat capacity of the cooking utensil. Therefore, the amount of heat input is the product of the heat output of the cooking device and the heat efficiency. Further, in the case of an oven, a microwave oven, or the like, heat efficiency considering heat loss may be considered.
[0030]
(Action / Effect)
According to the configuration of the cooking recipe providing system of the invention according to claim 7, when the cooking device is changed, heating is performed to the heat output of the cooking device in the basic cooking recipe or the product of the heat output of the cooking device and the thermal efficiency. By multiplying the cooking time and dividing the multiplication result by the heat output of the changed cooking device or the product of the heat output of the cooking device and the thermal efficiency, the cooking time of the changed cooking device is inversely proportional. Ask.
Therefore, for example, even when a gas stove is used as the heating cooking, the maximum combustion amount is wide from 4.8 kW of a high-fire burner to 1.5 kW of a cassette stove used on a table, and is 2.10 of a so-called standard burner. Even if a basic cooking recipe is created at 8 kW and there is an instruction to heat over high heat, the actual cooking time varies greatly depending on the cooking device used, and can be changed with such a similar cooking device. Even when changing the type of stove and microwave oven, for example, the cooking time required by the cooking device actually used is properly determined, so the food may be scorched, boiled, or boiled. The number of failures can be reduced, and cooking can be easily and satisfactorily cooked irrespective of a change in the cooking device.
[0031]

[0034]
As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the server 1 includes a request input unit 6, a change request input unit 7, a cooking recipe database 8, a basic cooking recipe extraction unit 9, a basic cooking recipe output unit 10, a client confirmation unit 11, A qualification procedure requesting unit 12, a required cooking recipe creating unit 13, and a required cooking recipe output unit 14 are provided.
[0035]
The request input means 6 inputs a request for a basic cooking recipe of a dish from a client.
The change request input means 7 inputs a change request from the client for standard cooking contents.
[0036]
The cooking recipe database 8 stores a basic cooking recipe database 8a for storing basic cooking recipes of various dishes with standard cooking contents, and a cooking recipe supposing that a change is made to the standard cooking contents. A sub-cooking recipe database 8b is provided, and as shown in the configuration diagram of the database of FIG. 3, data of a large number of dishes is stored. For each dish C, a ingredients database 15 such as the number of dishes or the total amount of dishes. , A cooking utensil database 16, a cooking appliance database 17, and a cooking procedure database 18.
[0037]
In each of the foodstuff database 15, the cooking utensil database 16, the heating cooking appliance database 17, and the cooking procedure database 18, the basic ingredients, the basic cooking utensil, and the basic heating cooking in the standard cooking recipe included in the basic cooking recipe database 8a are included. A device and a basic cooking procedure are provided, and an alternative ingredient, an alternative cooking tool, an alternative cooking device, and an alternative cooking procedure included in the sub-cooking recipe database 8b are provided.
[0038]
The basic cooking recipe extracting means 9 extracts a basic cooking recipe of the food input to the request input means 6 from the basic cooking recipe database 8.
The basic cooking recipe output means 10 outputs the basic cooking recipe extracted by the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9 to the client.
[0039]
The client confirming means 11 confirms whether or not the client is qualified to receive the requested cooking recipe as the change request is input to the change request inputting means 7.
The qualification procedure requesting means 12 requests a procedure for obtaining a qualification when the client checking means 11 determines that the client is not a qualified person.
[0040]
In the required cooking recipe creating means 13, after confirming that the client is a qualified person by the client confirming means 11, the required cooking recipe which can execute the cooking content corresponding to the change request inputted to the change request input means 7 is prepared. To be created.
The required cooking recipe output means 14 outputs the required cooking recipe created by the required cooking recipe creating means 13 to the client.
[0041]
In addition, in the case where the cooking content that can respond to the change request is the number of meals or the total amount of the dishes, the requested cooking recipe creating means 13 determines the number of meals of the cooking contents of the basic cooking recipe extracted by the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9. The number of foods or the total amount of food corresponding to the change request is proportionally calculated based on the relative ratio to the amount of food, and a requested cooking recipe is created based on the calculation.
[0042]
The required cooking recipe creating means 13 includes a cooking content discriminating means 19 and a changed cooking recipe extracting means 20.
In the cooking content discriminating means 19, when the change request is input to the change request input means 7, when the requested cooking content is a food material or a part of the food material, the change of the food material is changed. It is designed to determine whether the ingredients are supposed to be used.
[0043]
In the changed cooking recipe extracting means 20, when the food requested to be changed by the cooking content discriminating means 19 is a food supposed to be changed, the changed cooking recipe corresponding to the changed cooking content is converted into a sub-cooking recipe. The changed cooking recipe is extracted from the database 8b and output to the client through the requested cooking recipe output means 14 as a requested cooking recipe.
[0044]
If the food requested to be changed by the cooking content discriminating means 19 is not a food supposed to be changed, a message indicating that cooking is impossible or a different dish is output to the client through the responding means 21. .
[0045]
In addition, when the cooking content that can respond to the change request is a cooking utensil, the required cooking recipe creating means 13 calculates the cooking time of the basic cooking recipe extracted by the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9 and the cooking time of the ingredients in the cooking content. The cooking time corresponding to the change of the cooking utensil is proportionally calculated based on the total mass of the total amount and the mass of the cooking utensil or the relative ratio of the total heat capacity thereof, and a request is made based on the calculation. Cooking recipes are created.
[0046]
Furthermore, when the cooking content that can respond to the change request is a heating cooking device, the required cooking recipe creating means 13 calculates the cooking time of the basic cooking recipe extracted by the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9 and the heating in the cooking content. Based on the heat output of the cooking appliance or the product of the heat output of the heating appliance and the product of the thermal efficiency, the cooking time corresponding to the change of the cooking appliance is calculated in inverse proportion, and the required cooking recipe is calculated based on the calculation. Is to be created.
[0047]
Next, the processing by the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
First, the food menu is output from the server 1 to the client's terminal computer 2A and displayed in response to receiving a list display request (C1) of the food menu from the client through the request input means 6 (S1). This display method can be divided into genres such as seasonal dishes or Japanese / Western Chinese dishes, and headlines can be presented. Considering the size of dish data that can be displayed at a time and the ease of search, An appropriate display may be selected as appropriate.
[0048]
The client looks at the cooking menu, selects a predetermined cooking menu, and requests the server 1 for a basic cooking recipe with standard contents (C2). As the server 1 receives the request, the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9 extracts the basic cooking recipe of the corresponding dish from the basic cooking recipe database 8a and outputs and displays it on the terminal computer 2A (S2). If the dishes are determined in advance, the selection from the menu list described above can be omitted, and the user can jump to the request for the basic cooking recipe.
If the user has the skill to cook using only the basic cooking recipe, or if the number of meals and the like do not need to be changed, the processing can be ended at this stage.
[0049]
A user who needs to present a more detailed cooking procedure requests the server 1 for a modified required cooking recipe for the actual cooking procedure (C3). In response to the change request, the server 1 determines whether the client is qualified to receive the requested cooking recipe by the client confirmation means 11, and if the client is not a qualified person, the client 1 should acquire the qualification. Request a procedure (S3). The procedure to acquire this qualification is a procedure to charge the information after this or to limit it to members, specifically, credit card number for payment, membership number, password, etc. Pointing to an input request.
[0050]
After the client inputs the above procedure (C4), the server 1 prepares the basic cooking recipe of the selected dish along with the specific cooking procedure and the cooking content that can respond to the change request, specifically, the number of meals, the ingredients. A part of the cooking utensil or cooking device is output and displayed on the terminal computer 2A (S4). For example, replacing beef with chicken, increasing or decreasing the number of meals, increasing the amount of favorite ingredients and omitting things that are not favorite or not at hand, replacing pots with frying pans, replacing ovens with grills, etc. Refers to the possibility of change. Of course, extreme changes can make the dishes different, inedible, or even impossible, so it is not necessary to cover all possible replacements in the sub-cooking recipe database 8b, It may be a collection of changes that can only be recommended. Here, specific cooking procedures include, for example, preparation of materials, washing, cutting, preparation, mixing, stirring, heating (temperature, heat, cooking utensils, opening and closing of lids), heating stop, leaving, cooling, serving. And other necessary cooking operations, and are preferably displayed in chronological order. The method of providing the information may be a list display or an instruction of the operation in an interactive manner in accordance with the input of the operation for confirming the operation, time or temperature.
If it is determined in step S3 that the client is a qualified person, step C4 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S4.
[0051]
When a request for changing the basic cooking recipe is input from the client (C5), the server 1 proceeds to a calculation / inference step (S5).
In this calculation / inference step (S5), first, it is determined whether or not there is a change request for the number of meals (N1). If there is a change request, the process proceeds to step N2, where the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9 extracts the number. Based on the relative ratio between the number of foods and the amount of food in the cooking content of the basic cooking recipe, the number of foods corresponding to the change request or the amount of food of the total amount of food is proportionally calculated, and the requested cooking is calculated based on the calculation. After the recipe is created, the process moves to step N3. In the case of extreme changes in the number of meals, it is often accompanied by changes in cooking utensils and cooking equipment, and after making a judgment including the possibility of making these changes, if the results are output to the client good.
[0052]
Also, if there is no request to change the number of foods in step N1, the process goes to step N3 to determine whether or not there is a request to change the food. The process goes to step N4. With reference to the sub-cooking recipe database 8b, it is determined whether or not the change of the food is a food supposed to be changed, and the requested food is not stored in the sub-cooking recipe database 8b. If the food is not a food that is supposed to have food, the process proceeds to step N5, and information indicating that cooking is impossible or a different food is output to the client through the response means 21. It should be noted that even for ingredients that are not stored in the sub-cooking recipe database 8b, it is also possible to create a separate ingredient substitution database and determine a change based on the possibility of substitution. Ingredient substitution databases are similar ingredients and have few problems to replace, such as ham and sausage, chicken and turkey, leek and white leek, Sudachi and Yuzu, etc. It is made into a database. Of course, when these are the main ingredients, it is possible to further provide a process of determining whether the ingredients are the main ingredients or the auxiliary ingredients, and output that the substitute should be regarded as another dish.
[0053]
If the requested food is a food that is supposed to be changed, it is possible to change the food, and together with the change in the number of foods, etc., change the cooking recipe corresponding to the requested cooking. The changed cooking recipe is extracted from the cooking recipe database 8b, a specific cooking procedure is searched, calculated, or inferred, and the changed cooking recipe is set as a required cooking recipe (N6).
[0054]
Thereafter, and when it is determined in step N3 that there is no change request for the ingredients, the process proceeds to step N7, where it is determined whether or not there is a change request for the cooking utensil. It is determined whether there is a corresponding cooking tool in the tool database 16.
[0055]
If there is no cooking utensil requested to be changed in the cooking utensil database 16, the process proceeds to step N9 and outputs to the terminal computer 2A that it is unusable. On the other hand, if it is in the cooking utensil database 16, the cooking utensil data requested to be changed is extracted (N10) and sent to the subsequent step.
[0056]
Thereafter, when it is determined that there is no change request for the cooking utensil in step N8, the process proceeds to step N11, and it is determined whether there is a change request for the cooking device. When there is a change request, the process proceeds to step N12. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a corresponding cooking device in the cooking device database 17.
[0057]
If the cooking device for which the change has been requested is not present in the cooking device database 17, the process proceeds to step N13, and the fact that the cooking device is unusable is output to the terminal computer 2A. On the other hand, if it is in the heating cooking appliance database 17, the heating power data of the heating cooking appliance requested to be changed is extracted (N14) and sent to the subsequent step.
[0058]
Next, when it is determined in step N11 that there is no change request for the cooking device, the process proceeds to step N15 and step N16.
In step N15 and step N16, when the cooking content that can respond to the change request is a cooking tool, the cooking time of the basic cooking recipe extracted by the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9, the total amount of food in the cooking content, and the cooking time The cooking time corresponding to the change of the cooking utensil is calculated proportionally based on the total mass of the utensils and the relative ratio with the total heat capacity, and the required cooking recipe is calculated based on the calculation. create.
[0059]
Furthermore, when the cooking content that can respond to the change request is a cooking device, the cooking time of the basic cooking recipe extracted by the basic cooking recipe extracting means 9 and the heat output of the cooking device in the cooking content, or heating. Based on the multiplication of the product of the heat output of the cooking appliance and the thermal efficiency, the cooking time corresponding to the change of the cooking appliance is calculated in inverse proportion, and the required cooking recipe is created based on the calculation.
That is, the cooking time is calculated in inverse proportion to the heating power used in the basic cooking recipe with reference to the maximum heating power. In this case, when the number of foods, food materials, cooking utensils, and the like are also changed, the cooking time is proportionally extended or shortened based on the total mass thereof. When cooking utensils and heating cooking utensils are significantly changed, it is desirable to correct the above result by performing detailed calculations in consideration of thermal efficiency and heat transfer. In the case of low heat cooking, when the minimum heating power is larger than that used in the basic cooking recipe, a warning that caution should be exercised should be given together with the cooking procedure.
The required cooking recipe created in this way is output by the required cooking recipe output means 14 (S6).
[0060]
In step N7, when the change request is a cooking tool, particularly a pot used for heating cooking, the workmanship and the cooking time often differ depending on the tool used. For example, if a lightweight aluminum pan with good heat conduction is replaced with a stainless steel pot or a glass pan with heavy weight and poor heat conduction, cooking time needs to be extended. On the other hand, replacing the wok and the frying pan can be performed without any problem in terms of heating, apart from the ease of performing a cooking operation such as stirring. Therefore, if the possibility of the replacement is prepared as a database, cooking can be performed without much problem even if the cooking tool is changed. In this database, if a pot is taken as an example, characteristics such as its mass, heat conductivity, pressurizability, and stirrability are included for each caliber, material, and type.
As a cooking utensil, for example, if the change of the pot is indicated, refer to the pot database to judge the similarity of the characteristics, and if there are many similarities and there is no fatal difference, change At the same time, data such as mass and thermal conductivity are sent to a subsequent step for calculation of cooking time and the like.
[0061]
Similarly, in step N11, even when the change request is for a cooking device, a database is prepared in which the characteristics are compared. Specifically, heating method (open heating like stove or closed heating like oven), heating method (direct fire, induction heating, microwave heating, convection heating, resistance heating, etc.), maximum and minimum heating power ( The database is configured by classifying the calorific value, the standard thermal efficiency, etc.), the type (stove, oven, microwave oven, grill, etc.) and the like.
As for the heating method, the heating method, and the type, first, if the substitution is verified with reference to the sub-cooking recipe database 8b, the substitution is possible, but if not, the same or similar one is used. It is determined that it can be replaced.
[0062]
Finally, the server 1 outputs the above results in a predetermined output format to the client as a specific cooking procedure (S6), and displays the changed cooking recipe on the terminal computer 2A as a requested cooking recipe (C6). ). In this case, as described above, the display may be performed in a list display, or may be performed sequentially in an interactive manner. Further, the server 1 may transmit the procedure data to the terminal computer 2A in a lump, and the client may change the transmission form in an interactive manner or the like so as to indicate to the person M cooking by the terminal computer 2A.
