  Details of an information processing apparatus and a program according to embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, an information device such as a PC is exemplified as an electronic device. However, even in an information processing system using a portable information device such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or a mobile phone, or a server device and a terminal device. It goes without saying that it is good.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 is an information device such as a so-called PC, and includes a CPU 20 (Central Processing Unit), a ROM 21 (Read Only Memory), a RAM 22 (Random Access Memory), a communication I / F 23, and a bus 24. A liquid crystal display 25, an operation unit 26, and a storage unit 27.

  The CPU 20 centrally controls the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 by developing the program F2 stored in the ROM 21 or the storage unit 27 in the RAM 22 and sequentially executing the program F2. The ROM 21 is a non-volatile memory that stores various setting data, a BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) program, and the like. The RAM 22 is a volatile memory that provides a work area to the CPU 20. The communication I / F 23 is an interface for connecting to various peripheral devices such as a printer and a scanner and an external device such as a server device via a communication network such as the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). The bus 24 is a bus line that electrically connects each unit of the information processing apparatus 1. The liquid crystal display 25 performs display for the user under the control of the CPU 20. The operation unit 26 is a pointing device such as a keyboard or a mouse, and receives an operation input from a user. The storage unit 27 is a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and stores the dish file F1 and the program F2. The dish file F1 stores, for each dish item, the amount of nutrition taken when the dish item is eaten. The program F2 is an application program executed by the CPU 20.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the data configuration of the dish file F1. As shown in FIG. 2, the dish file F1 is a file that stores dish data identified by a “cooking ID (Identification Data)” in which one record is uniquely assigned to each dish item. The items of the dish data in the dish file F1 include “Cooking ID”, “Cooking name” which is the name of the cooking item, “Category” indicating the category to which the cooking item belongs, such as Western food or Japanese food, and the amount of nutrition consumed. There are “a number of calories” and “calcium”, a “cooking method” indicating a text file describing a cooking method of a cooking item, a “cooking image” indicating an image (cooking image) of the cooking item, and the like. The nutrient amount may be “vitamin”, “carbohydrate”, “protein”, “lipid”, etc. in addition to “calcium” in the illustrated example.

  Next, a functional configuration realized by the CPU 20 executing the program F2 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration in the CPU 20. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the CPU 20 functions as a condition receiving unit 201, an intake amount calculating unit 202, a dish item searching unit 203, and a menu display unit 204 by sequentially executing a program F <b> 2.

  The condition receiving unit 201 displays input items and the like on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 25 and receives an operation input from the operation unit 26, thereby receiving a condition for creating a menu from the user. Specifically, the condition receiving unit 201 receives an input of the number of meals for creating a menu, an input of a target nutrition amount per unit number of meals, and an input of a category of dishes such as Japanese food and Western food. The reception of the number of meals in the condition reception unit 201 may be received by entering a number of meals to be prepared for each meal of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or by entering the number of days. In addition, the number of unit meals may be one meal, one day (3 meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner), one week (3 x 7 meals), etc., and the number of meals is not particularly limited. To do. In this embodiment, it is assumed that an input of a target nutrient amount to be taken per day is accepted.

  The target nutrient amount received by the condition receiving unit 201 may be at least one of the target intake calorie number per target meal and the target intake nutrient amount. In addition, the value which was not received among the target calorie intake number and the target intake nutrient amount may be handled as NULL data indicating that it was not received, or a preset standard value may be substituted. As for the target intake nutrient amount, the target intake amount of nutrients such as calcium, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids may be individually received. As for nutrients, calcium, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are given as examples, but are not particularly limited thereto. For example, details of other nutrients such as sodium and vitamins such as vitamin A may be used.

  The intake amount calculation unit 202 calculates a target nutrient amount per serving based on the target nutrient amount per unit meal received by the condition reception unit 201. Specifically, the target nutrition per serving is calculated by dividing the input target nutrition by the number of unit meals. For example, when the target nutrient amount to be consumed per day is input, the target nutrient amount per meal is calculated by dividing the target nutrient amount input by three meals, which is the unit number of meals per day. Is calculated. In addition, when dividing the target nutrient amount by three meals, which is the unit number of meals per day, different weights may be used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Specifically, weighting may be performed so that the target nutrition is calculated with the standard breakfast, less lunch, and more dinner.

  The dish item search unit 203 refers to the dish file F1 and searches for a dish item as a menu for one meal corresponding to the target nutrient amount per serving calculated by the intake amount calculation unit 202. Specifically, the dish item that matches the target calorie count calculated as the target nutrient amount per meal and the target nutrient amount is searched from the dish items stored in the dish file F1. As a result of this search, when there are a plurality of menu options for one meal, the dish item search unit 203 displays a menu item as a candidate on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 25 and accepts an operation input from the operation unit 26. The selection of any candidate is accepted from the user. When the dish item search unit 203 repeatedly performs the search for the number of meals received by the condition reception unit 201, the dish item search unit 203 temporarily stores the searched dish item in the RAM 22 and searches the dish item for the next search. Sometimes, it is possible to prevent the same dish item from being searched twice.

  In addition, when the dish item search unit 203 repeatedly performs the search for the number of meals received by the condition reception unit 201, the nutrition amount (the number of calories, the nutrient amount) of the searched dish item and the per meal The difference between the target intake calorie number calculated as the target nutrient amount and the target intake nutrient amount is temporarily stored in the RAM 22 as a recording means. At the time of the next search, the dish item search unit 203 corrects the calculated target nutrition per serving with a correction value for complementing the difference temporarily stored in the RAM 22, and the corrected nutrition. The dish item that matches the item may be retrieved from the dish items stored in the dish file F1. By performing the search in this way, the information processing apparatus 1 can make the nutrition closer to the target of the user when creating a menu for multiple meals.

  The menu display unit 204 displays a menu for a plurality of meals created according to the search result by the dish item search unit 203 for the number of meals received by the condition reception unit 201, that is, according to the target nutrition amount per unit meal. A display is output on the display screen of the display 25. In the present embodiment, a configuration in which menu items for the number of meals received by the condition receiving unit 201 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 25 is exemplified. However, the menu output may be output as print data from a printer (not shown) connected via the communication I / F 23 or as file data to an external device connected via the communication I / F 23. Needless to say.

  Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described in detail. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the description, it is assumed that a main dish (main menu) in a menu over multiple meals is created. About menu, you may make a side dish (side menu) besides the main dish. When creating a menu including main dishes and side dishes, a search may be performed so that the total amount of nutrients of the main and side dishes matches the target nutrition per serving. Usually, Japanese food is served with rice and miso soup, and Western food is served with bread and soup. The target nutritional value per serving is subtracted from the above-mentioned nutrients equivalent to rice and miso soup or bread and soup. It is assumed that

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the process is started, the condition receiving unit 201 of the CPU 20 displays input items and the like on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 25, receives operation input from the operation unit 26, and how many days (meal It is set whether to create a menu for a number (n)) (S1). FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the display screen G. As shown in FIG. 5, in S <b> 1, the number of days and the number of meals for creating a menu are set by receiving input to the input areas K <b> 1 and K <b> 2 by the operation unit 26. Here, when the number of days is set, conversion into the number of meals is performed as the number of days × 3.

  Next, the condition reception unit 201 of the CPU 20 displays input items and the like on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 25, receives an operation input from the operation unit 26, and sets the target intake calorie number per unit meal, target intake nutrient amount, and the like. The narrowing conditions are set (S2). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in S <b> 2, a target calorie intake per unit meal (daily) is set by receiving an input to the input area K <b> 3 by the operation unit 26. Moreover, the target intake nutrient amount per unit number of meals (one day) is set by receiving input to the input areas K4 and K5 by the operation unit 26.

  Next, the CPU 20 initializes the variable i (i = 1) (S3) at the start of processing (S4 to S9) for creating a menu for the set number of meals. By initializing the variable i, a process for creating the first menu is started.

  When processing for creating a menu for the set number of meals is started, the condition receiving unit 201 displays a selection item of Japanese food / Western food on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 25, and performs an operation input by the operation unit 26. By accepting, selection of a category of Japanese food / Western food is accepted from the user (S4).

  Next, the dish item search unit 203 searches for a dish item included in the category (Japanese / Western food) selected in S4 among the dish items included in the dish file F1 (S5). As a result of the search, the cooking items in the category selected from the cooking items included in the cooking file F1 are extracted.

  Next, the intake amount calculation unit 202 calculates the target intake calorie number per one meal and the target intake nutrient amount based on the target intake calorie number per unit meal number and the target intake nutrient amount input in S2. (S6). Next, the cooking item search unit 203 selects a cooking item that matches the target number of calories and target ingested nutrient amount calculated as the target nutrition amount per serving, among the cooking items stored in the cooking file F1, S5. A search is made from among the cooking items extracted by (S7).

  In S7, when there are a plurality of candidates for the menu for one meal, the dish item search unit 203 displays the menu as a candidate on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 25, and accepts an operation input by the operation unit 26. The selection of the candidate is accepted from the user. FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of the display screen G. As shown in FIG. 6, in S7, when there are a plurality of candidates for the menu for one meal, the dish images G1 and G2 of the dish items as candidates are displayed on the display screen G with reference to the dish file F1. Then, the cooking images G1 and G2 are selected by the cursor C1 operated by the operation unit 26.

  Next, the dish item search unit 203 temporarily stores the search result of S7 in the RAM 22 (S8). At this time, the dish item search unit 203 calculates the difference between the nutrition amount (the number of calories and the nutrient amount) of the searched dish item and the target calorie intake amount and the target intake nutrient amount calculated as the target nutrient amount per serving. Are also temporarily stored in the RAM 22.

  Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the variable i = the set number of meals n and the menu for the number of days (the number of meals) set in S1 has been created (S9). When the menu for the set number of meals has not been created (S9: NO), the CPU 20 increments the variable i (i = i + 1) (S10), and returns the process to S4. When the menu for the set number of meals is created (S9: YES), the menu display unit 204 searches the dish item search unit 203 for the number of meals received by the condition receiving unit 201, that is, the unit. The menu for a plurality of meals created according to the target nutrient intake per serving is displayed and output on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 25 (S11).

  Here, the display of the menu over multiple meals will be described. FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of the display screen G. As shown in FIG. 7, menus from the first day breakfast to the second day breakfast (dish names, nutrition, cooking method, cooking images G10 to G40 relating to cooking) are displayed in the menu display areas M10 to M40. Is done. Specifically, a dish name, nutrition amount, cooking method, dish image, and the like corresponding to the searched dish item are read from the dish file F1 and displayed in the menu display areas M10 to M40. Thereby, the user can confirm the menu for the number of meals set in S1.

  As described above, in the information processing apparatus 1, the condition receiving unit 201 receives an input of the number of meals for creating a menu and an input of a target nutrient intake per unit meal. The intake amount calculation unit 202 of the information processing apparatus 1 calculates a target nutrient amount per serving based on the received target nutrient amount. Next, the dish item search unit 203 of the information processing apparatus 1 refers to the dish file F1 that stores the nutrient amount for each dish item, and serves as a menu for one meal corresponding to the calculated target nutrient amount per serving. Search for cooking items. Next, the menu display unit 204 of the information processing apparatus 1 displays and outputs the search results for the accepted number of meals on the liquid crystal display 25. Therefore, in the information processing apparatus 1, when creating a menu over a plurality of meals, it is possible to easily create a menu over a plurality of meals without inputting the number of calories and the amount of nutrients for each meal.
