(Outline of menu search process)
Next, an outline of the menu search process will be described with reference to FIGS.
7 is a diagram showing the flow of the menu search process, FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the menu search screen 100 in the initial state displayed on the operation terminal 5, and FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams after the user inputs a point. It is a figure which shows the example of the menu search screen.

  First, the user operates the operation terminal 5 and accesses the server 3 via the network 7. The server 3 starts the menu search program 22, transmits the menu search screen 100 to the operation terminal 5, and displays it (S101).

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the menu search screen 100 in the initial state, the marker 118 of each search axis on the point input screen 101 is located in the center and the color is green.

  The server 3 detects whether or not the marker 118 has moved (S102). If the marker 118 has not moved (S102; No), the process proceeds to S106, but the user searches for any of the point input screens 101. When the axis marker 118 is moved to the left or right (S102; Yes), the server 3 accepts an input of a point corresponding to the position after the movement of the marker 118 for the search item of the search axis and stores it in the RAM or the like. Then, the moved marker 118 is changed from green to orange (S103).

  Next, the server 3 refers to the search item master 28, searches and extracts a predetermined number of menus having points close to the point of the search item corresponding to the moved marker 118 (S104), and operates the search result. The data is transmitted to the terminal 5 and displayed on the search result screen 103 in the order of the closest points (S105), and the process proceeds to S106.

An example of this menu search screen 100 is shown in FIG.
In the menu search screen 100 of FIG. 9, the marker 118 of the body 111 has been moved, and twelve menus having body points 29 (FIG. 6) close to the body point corresponding to the position of the marker 118 are displayed. It is displayed as a search result. In the search result screen 103, the menu image 26 and the menu name 25 of these menus are arranged in the order of the points in the order of upper left → upper right → lower left → lower right.

  The details of the processing of S102 to S105 will be described later.

  The server 3 also detects whether or not the menu is selected from the search result (S106), and if there is no menu selection (S106; No), the process proceeds to S109. When the menu image 26 of the menu item of interest is clicked and selected from the search result screen 103 (S106; Yes), the server 3 accepts this selection and displays a detailed screen corresponding to the selected menu item (S107). ).

In addition, the server 3 displays the selected menu on the history screen 105 (S108), and proceeds to the process of S109.
FIG. 10 shows an example of the menu search screen 100 in S108. Here, the menu image 26 and the menu name 25 of the selected menu are displayed on the history screen 105.

  The server 3 also detects whether or not the clear button 117 is selected (S109). If the clear button 117 is not selected (S109; No), the process proceeds to S111, but when the user selects the clear button 117 ( S109; Yes), the server 3 accepts this selection, clears all points stored in the RAM and the like, clears all the states of the markers 118, returns to the initial state (S110), and proceeds to the processing of S111. .

  In S110, all the moved markers 118 are returned to the center position, and the color of the markers is set to green in the initial state. That is, the state is the same as that of the point input screen 101 in FIG. The menu display on the search result screen 103 and the history screen 105 may be left or deleted.

  Until the user selects the end of the menu search screen 100 (S111; No), the server 3 repeats the above processing, and when the user closes the menu search screen 100 and ends (S111; Yes), the menu search processing ends. To do.

(Movement of marker 118 to details of search result display processing)
Next, details of the processing from the movement of the marker 118 to the display of the search result described in S102 to S105 will be described.

(1. When moving the marker 118 for the first time)
FIG. 9 shows the menu search screen 100 when the marker 118 is moved for the first time.

  Here, from the initial screen in FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 9, the marker 118 of the search axis: body 111 on the point input screen 101 is moved to the right (S102; Yes), and the value “3.8” is set as the body point. Is entered. In this case, as described above, the server 3 changes the marker 118 from green to orange, receives the input of the point, and stores “3.8” as the body point in the RAM (S103).

  Subsequently, in S104, the server 3 refers to the menu points 29 (FIG. 6) of each menu of the search item master 28, and determines the difference from the value “3.8” input by the user as the degree of difference from the input content. Asking.

  For example, since the value of the body point 29 of “Fried chicken” whose menu ID 24 is “101” is “4.1”, the above difference is “4.1-3.8 = 0.3”. . Other search items are not used in the above calculation because the marker 118 has not moved.

  Subsequently, the server 3 extracts a predetermined number of menus in ascending order of the dissimilarity, and displays the menus arranged in the order of increasing dissimilarity in S105. The smaller the difference, the more the menu matches the user's mood.

(2. When the marker 118 of another search axis is further moved)
From the state shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 11, the marker 118 of another search axis; heart 112 is moved to the left (S102; Yes). 2 ”is input.
In this case, the server 3 changes the color of the newly moved marker 118 to orange, accepts the input of the point, adds “−1.2” as the heart point to the RAM in addition to the body point. Store (S103).

  Subsequently, the control unit 11 of the server 3 applies the moved marker 118, that is, the marker 118 (search axis; heart 112) moved this time and the marker 118 (search axis; body 111) that has already been moved. Using the corresponding point, a menu having a point close to the point is searched again (S104).

  For example, the value of the body point 29 of the above-mentioned “fried chicken” is “4.1”, the value of the heart point 30 is “3.9”, and the difference of the body point 29 is “4.1-3. 8 = 0.3 ”and the difference between the heart points 30 is“ 3.9 − (− 1.2) = 5.1 ”. Here, a value “0.3 + 5.1 = 5.4”, which is the sum of the above differences, is calculated as the degree of difference from the input content. Other search items are not used in the above calculation because the marker 118 has not moved.

  Then, the server 3 extracts a predetermined number of menus in ascending order of the dissimilarity, and displays the menus side by side in the order of increasing dissimilarity in S105.

(3. When the marker 118 of the same search axis is further moved)
From the state shown in FIG. 11, it is assumed that the user next moves the marker 118 of the body axis 111 to the left and returns it to the center as shown in FIG. 12 (S102; Yes).
In this case, the control unit 11 of the server 3 assumes that “0” is input as the body point, and changes the value of the body point stored in the RAM from “3.8” to “0”. Note that the color of the marker 118 remains orange (S103). Thereafter, the same processing as described above is performed, the menu is searched using the new points (S104), and the search result is displayed (S105).

  Thus, in the menu search process, when the marker 118 of the search axis is moved once, menu search is performed in consideration of the search item point of this search axis (until the clear button 117 is selected). Conversely, for a search axis in which the marker 118 has not moved, the search is performed without considering the inspection item, rather than treating the point of the search item as “0”. That is, the search item on the search axis is used for the menu search only after the user moves the marker 118.

  Therefore, as shown, even if the marker 118 is moved once, even if the color of the moved marker 118 is changed from green to orange and returned to the center position by the above-described operation, for example, This is used as a search for the point “0”, and the color of the marker 118 remains orange.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the user simply moves the marker 118 on the search axis on the menu search screen 100, and the menu suitable for the user is searched and displayed by the point corresponding to the position. . The user can select a menu based on this. In addition, since the search axis (search item) used for selecting the menu is displayed with a different color of the marker 118, it can be seen at a glance which search axis is used. Therefore, the user can easily search for a menu with an intuitive operation.

In the present embodiment, the menu selected from the search result is displayed on the menu search screen 100 as a history. As described above, in this embodiment, every time the marker 118 is moved, the menu is searched using the corresponding point. Therefore, the position of the marker 118 is changed, or the marker 118 of another search axis is newly set. It is easy to search again after moving. On the other hand, it is possible that the user does not remember previous search results, so if you keep what you select from the search results in this way as a history, record what the user is interested in Can help you make menu decisions.
The history is not limited to the one selected from the search results, and all the menus displayed so far on the search result screen 103 can be displayed, and the same effect as described above can be obtained. .

In the present embodiment, as described above, the color of the marker 118 that has been moved is displayed in a different color from that before the movement. However, the present invention is not limited to this. What is necessary is just to change the display form of the part relevant to this search axis. For example, the display form of the search axis can be changed, or the display form of the display area corresponding to the search axis can be changed.
However, changing the color of the marker 118 has an advantage that it becomes easier to understand which marker 118 is moved and the search is performed using the search axis, and the menu search is further simplified.

  In addition, when searching for a menu, using a point input by moving the marker 118, a plurality of menus are arranged in the order of small difference from the point (in order of closeness of the points) and displayed as search results. Therefore, it is possible to give a range to the menu decision of the user. In addition, since menus are arranged in ascending order of difference, this can be used as a material for determining the menu.

  The processing of S103 to S105 is performed when the user drags and slides the marker 118 of the search axis and then releases it. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the update button ( It may be performed when (not shown) is selected. Further, the moving method of the marker 118 is not limited to the above, and various methods can be considered.

  Furthermore, the menu search method is not limited to the above. For example, for each user, a weighting variable is set for each of the body point 29, the heart point 30, the taste point 31, the time point 32, the money point 33, and the arrangement point 34, and the points are multiplied to obtain the above degree of difference. You may do it. Further, in the above description, a predetermined number of menus are searched and extracted in order from the smallest difference, but for example, those having a difference of a predetermined threshold value or less can be searched and extracted.

In the menu search system 1 described above, the menu search program 22, the menu master 23, and the search item master 28 are held in the server 3, and the operation terminal 5 accesses the server 3 via the network 7 to perform a menu search. However, as shown in FIG. 13, the operation terminal 5 downloads the menu search program 22, the menu master 23, and the search item master 28 from the server 3 and holds them in the storage unit 12, and thereafter, without accessing the server 3. The menu search program 22 may be executed by the control unit 11 of the operation terminal 5 (menu search device).
This method is preferable because it is not necessary to communicate with the server 3 via the network 7 and the processing for user input such as movement of the marker 118 is accelerated. In FIG. 13, the OS of the operation terminal 5 is not shown.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be conceived within the scope of the technical idea disclosed in the present application, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention.
