(Knowledge that became the basis of the present invention)
Techniques for electronically displaying recipe information using a display of a cooking device such as a range or a portable terminal such as a tablet terminal are disclosed in Patent Literature 1, Patent Literature 2, and the like.

  The technology described in Patent Document 1 scrolls and displays an image that presents a series of work contents together. The technique described in Patent Literature 2 displays each work content by switching one by one in accordance with a user operation. According to these conventional techniques, the user can be released from the trouble of spreading the recipe book on the table and going to see it each time.

  By the way, in order to smoothly advance cooking performed by referring to recipe information, it is desirable that the contents of work to be performed at present can be quickly confirmed at each time point of the cooking process. Furthermore, since it is necessary to prepare cooking utensils and materials depending on the work, it is desirable that the contents of the work to be performed next can be grasped.

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since information on a large number of operations is displayed all at once, it is difficult to understand where the information regarding the operation to be performed is present. In the technique described in Patent Document 2, the work content of the work to be performed next is not displayed. Therefore, these conventional techniques may hinder the smooth progress of cooking, and are not very effective cooking support.

  Therefore, the following improvement measures were examined in order to improve the function of the display device.

  One aspect of the display control method in the display device is a display control method for controlling an image to be displayed on the display device. The display control method includes: A work determination step for determining work; information indicating the content of the first work that has been determined; information indicating content of a second work that is the work to be performed after the first work; And a display step for displaying a guide image including.

  According to the above aspect, the first operation is determined from the plurality of operations performed in cooking, the information indicating the content of the first operation, and the second operation to be performed next to the first operation. A guide image including information indicating the content is displayed on the display device.

  Thus, for example, an outline of the work to be performed next can be additionally presented to the user while presenting the detailed contents of the work to be performed at present. That is, the user can quickly confirm the work contents of the work to be performed at each time point of the cooking process, and can work with the preparation of cooking utensils and materials necessary for the next work in mind. Therefore, cooking performed with reference to the guide image can be effectively supported.

  Further, for example, simple information of the next work is generated based on the detailed information of the next work indicated in the recipe data. Therefore, it is not necessary to store simple information in advance in a storage device such as a ROM together with recipe data, and ROM resources can be reduced.

  In the above aspect, for example, the guide image may not include information indicating the contents of the work other than the first work and the second work. As a result, the displayed image does not include contents indicating the determined first work and work other than the second work to be performed after the first work. The contents are enumerated and it is not difficult to refer to the desired work.

  In the above aspect, for example, in the guide image, a display area of information indicating the content of the second work may be smaller than a display area of information indicating the content of the first work. Accordingly, the size of the display area is different between the information indicating the contents of the first work and the information indicating the contents of the second work. For example, any of the displayed information is the first work to be performed at present. Can be intuitively recognized, and it is possible to prevent the content of the first work to be performed now from being misreferenced with the content of the second work to be performed next.

  In the above aspect, for example, in the guide image, the detail level of information indicating the content of the second work may be lower than the detail level of information indicating the content of the first work. As a result, the level of detail differs between the information indicating the contents of the first work and the information indicating the contents of the second work. For example, which of the displayed information is the first work to be performed at present. Can be recognized intuitively, and it can be prevented that the contents of the first work to be performed now are mistakenly referred to the contents of the second work to be performed next.

  In the above aspect, for example, the work determination step sequentially determines each of the plurality of work, and the display step corresponds to the switching of the work determined in the work determination step. In the guide image, the display area and / or the level of detail of the information indicating the content of the same work in the guide image are the time when the same work is the first work and the second work. It may be different from time to time. As a result, for example, when the work displayed as the second work is determined as the first work, the display area and / or the level of detail can be changed. When switching to one work, the user can quickly recognize the switching.

  In the above aspect, for example, from the recipe data including detailed information indicating details of each of the plurality of operations and order information indicating the order of the plurality of operations to the computer, the first operation is performed. The detailed information acquisition step for acquiring the corresponding detailed information and the detailed information corresponding to the second work, and the second information based on the acquired detailed information corresponding to the second work. The guide image including a simple information generation step for generating simple information that simply indicates the content of the work, the detailed information corresponding to the first work, and the simple information corresponding to the second work And a guide image generation step for generating. As a result, simple information that simply shows the contents of the second work is generated based on the detailed information corresponding to the second work, so there is no need to include both detailed information and simple information in the recipe data. The amount of data in the recipe data itself can be reduced. In addition, since simple information is generated based on detailed information without using predetermined information as simple information, it is possible to use simple information in an appropriate format according to the specifications of the display device, user requests, and the like. it can.

  In the above aspect, for example, the detailed information includes text information, and the simple information generating step performs syntax analysis on a sentence indicated by the text information corresponding to the second work, and summarizes the sentence. May be generated as at least a part of the simplified information. As a result, a summary sentence is generated on the display device based on the text information included in the detailed information, and it is not necessary to store information indicating the summary sentence in addition to the text information in the detailed information. Can be reduced.

  In the above aspect, for example, the simple information generation step may adjust the degree of summarization for the sentence so as to be within a predetermined display area. As a result, for example, even when implemented on a display device having a different display screen size, an appropriate display according to the screen size can be performed, so the degree of summarization is the same as that of a display device having a large display screen size. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation where information is displayed on a display device having a small display screen size and does not completely fit within the screen.

  In the above aspect, for example, the detailed information may include text information and image information, and the simple information may not include the image information. This makes it possible to determine whether the displayed information indicates the first operation or the second operation based on the presence or absence of the image information. For example, which of the displayed information should be performed first. It is possible to intuitively recognize whether the work is the work of the first work, and it is possible to prevent the content of the first work to be performed now and the content of the second work to be performed next from being misreferenced.

  In the above aspect, for example, the work determination step may receive an operation for selecting one of the plurality of work from a user, and sequentially determine the first work according to the received operation. Thus, the first work can be determined based on the user's selection operation, and the work desired by the user can be displayed on the display device.

  According to another aspect, there is provided a display control program for controlling an image to be displayed on a display device, wherein a first operation is determined from a plurality of operations to be sequentially performed in cooking on the computer of the display device. A guide image including processing, information indicating the content of the first work that has been determined, and information indicating the content of the second work that is the work to be performed next to the first work Display processing.

  According to the other aspect, the first operation is determined from the plurality of operations performed in cooking, the information indicating the content of the first operation, and the second to be performed next to the first operation. A guide image including information indicating the content of the work is displayed on the display device.

  Thus, for example, an outline of the work to be performed next can be additionally presented to the user while presenting the detailed contents of the work to be performed at present. That is, the user can quickly confirm the work contents of the work to be performed at each time point of the cooking process, and can work with the preparation of cooking utensils and materials necessary for the next work in mind. Therefore, cooking performed with reference to the guide image can be effectively supported.

  Moreover, in the second other aspect, the display device is a work determination unit that determines a first work among a plurality of work that should be performed in order in cooking, and the determined first work And a guide image generating unit that generates a guide image including information indicating the content of the second work, which is the work to be performed after the first work, and the generated And a display unit for displaying a guide image.

  According to the second other aspect, the first work should be determined from the plurality of work performed in cooking, and information indicating the contents of the first work should be performed next to the first work. A guide image including information indicating the content of the second work is displayed on the display device.

  Thus, for example, an outline of the work to be performed next can be additionally presented to the user while presenting the detailed contents of the work to be performed at present. That is, the user can quickly confirm the work contents of the work to be performed at each time point of the cooking process, and can work with the preparation of cooking utensils and materials necessary for the next work in mind. Therefore, cooking performed with reference to the guide image can be effectively supported.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a display control method, a display control program, and a display device that can effectively support cooking performed with reference to recipe information.

  As described above, the recipe data 310 includes the order of a plurality of operations in cooking, and texts and images showing details of each operation.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the description will be continued. The work determination unit 230 determines one of a plurality of work (Step 1, Step 2,...) Indicated by the recipe data stored in the recipe data storage unit 220.

  More specifically, the work determination unit 230 receives an operation for selecting a work from the user via the above-described liquid crystal display with a touch panel, and sequentially determines each of the plurality of works according to the received operation. The operation of selecting a work by the user is, for example, an operation of sequentially shifting the main display target (that is, the work to be performed by the user) from the first work to the other work. Such an operation is, for example, an operation of swiping a guide screen described later upward or leftward.

  Each time the work determination unit 230 determines a work, detailed information on the determined work (first work, hereinafter referred to as “target work”) and the work to be performed next to the determined work (first work) Detailed information of the second work (hereinafter referred to as “next work”) is acquired from the recipe data. Then, the work determination unit 230 outputs the acquired detailed information on the attention work (hereinafter referred to as “attention work detailed information”) to the guide image generation unit 250, and generates the detailed information on the acquired next work as simple information generation. Output to the unit 240.

  Based on the detailed information corresponding to the input next work, the simple information generation unit 240 generates simple information (hereinafter referred to as “next work simple information”) simply indicating the contents of the next work.

  More specifically, the simple information generation unit 240 generates the next work simple information from the detailed information, based on a predetermined rule, having a lower level of information detail than the original detailed information. Details of a predetermined rule (hereinafter referred to as “simplification rule”) for generating the next work simplified information will be described later.

  Then, the simple information generation unit 240 outputs the generated next work simple information to the guide image generation unit 250.

  The display unit 260 displays the input guide image.

  More specifically, the display unit 260 displays a guide image on the above-described liquid crystal display with a touch panel, and presents recipe information to the user.

  In addition, the function of each part of the cooking assistance apparatus 200 is implement | achieved by the computer program, for example.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the cooking support apparatus 200 when each function is realized by a computer program.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cooking support apparatus 200 includes an input device 101 including the above-described touch panel, an output device 102 including the above-described liquid crystal display, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 104, a RAM ( Random Access Memory (105), a storage device 106 such as a flash memory, a reading device 107 that reads information from a recording medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, and a wireless communication device 108 including the above-described wireless communication circuit. 109 is connected.

  Acquisition of a program for realizing the function of each unit of the cooking support device 200 is realized, for example, by the reading device 107 reading the program from a recording medium on which the program is recorded and storing the program in the storage device 106. Alternatively, it is realized by the wireless communication device 108 communicating with a server device connected to the network, downloading a program from the server device, and storing the program in the storage device 106.

  The function of each unit of the cooking support apparatus 200 is realized, for example, by the CPU 103 copying a program stored in the storage device 106 to the RAM 105 and sequentially reading and executing instructions included in the program from the RAM 105. .

  The cooking support apparatus 200 having such a configuration has information (detailed work detail information) indicating the content of the work selected by the user, and information indicating the content of the work to be performed next to the selected work ( Next work simple information) can be displayed on one screen in a state where the distinction is clear.

<Simplification rules>
Here, the details of the simplification rule for generating the next work simple information described above will be described with an example.

  The simplification rule is, for example, a rule that generates a summary sentence of text included in the detailed information and sets a combination of the summary sentence and a number indicating a work order as next work simple information.

  Various rules can be adopted as rules for generating summary sentences (hereinafter referred to as “summary rules”).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of the summary rule.

  For example, the summary rule has a content of combining a noun clause including an ingredient and a verb clause including a cooking action in the detailed information text. In this case, the simple information generation unit 240 performs syntax analysis on the text and decomposes the text into a noun clause, a verb clause, a modifier clause, and the like. And the noun contained in the phrase determined to be a noun clause is searched from the material information contained in the recipe data. And the simple information production | generation part 240 determines the noun clause containing the noun which existed in material information as a noun clause containing a material, and determines the verb clause corresponding to this noun clause as a verb clause containing cooking action.

  For example, in the case of the text 320, “When the butter starts to melt, put the firewood and bake on low heat for about 10 minutes. At this time, make the skin face down.”, The simple information generating unit 240 includes the material “firewood”. A noun clause is determined, and “baking” is determined as a verb clause including a cooking action. Then, the simple information generation unit 240 combines “boiled rice” and “bake” to generate a summary sentence 321 “bake rice cake”.

  In addition, the summary rule may be a content that adds, to the summary sentence 321, a modifier clause relating to a work transition condition among modifier clauses that modify a verb clause including a cooking action. In this case, the simple information generation unit 240 generates a summary sentence 322 that “bake firewood when butter starts to melt”.

  In addition, the summary rule may be a content that adds, to the summary sentence 321, a modifier clause that includes a phrase relating to fire control among modifier clauses that modify a verb clause including a cooking action. In this case, the simple information generation unit 240 generates a summary sentence 323 “burn firewood with low heat”.

  In addition, the summary rule may be a content that adds, to the summary sentence 321, a modifier clause that includes a word related to time among modifier clauses that modify a verb clause including a cooking action. In this case, the simple information generation unit 240 generates a summary sentence 324 that “bakes firewood for about 10 minutes”.

  The work determination unit 230 may select a rule to be adopted from among a plurality of summary rules in accordance with a predetermined priority order such as work transition conditions, fire control, time,. In addition, the work determination unit 230 may employ a summary sentence having a maximum number of characters within a predetermined range from a plurality of summary sentences that can be generated by a plurality of summary rules. That is, the work determination unit 230 may adjust the degree of summarization for a sentence so as to fit in a predetermined display area.

<Operation of the device>
Next, operation | movement of the cooking assistance apparatus 200 is demonstrated.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the cooking support apparatus 200.

  In step S <b> 1100, the recipe data acquisition unit 210 acquires recipe data and stores it in the recipe data storage unit 220.

  In step S1200, the work determination unit 230 refers to the recipe data and determines a work (Step 1) to be performed first in cooking. That is, the first work in the work procedure is first the work of interest.

  Prior to the process of step S1200, the work determination unit 230 displays a list of ingredients necessary for cooking and a list that collectively shows a series of work contents based on the material information included in the recipe data. Also good. By performing such display, the user can overlook the entire cooking process and necessary materials. In this case, the work determination unit 230 performs the process of step S1200 on the condition that a predetermined operation indicating “cooking start” is performed by the user.

  In step S1300, the work determination unit 230 acquires detailed information on the work of interest and detailed information on the next work from the recipe data.

  In step S1400, the simple information generation unit 240 generates simple information of the next work (next work simple information) from the detailed information of the next work.

  In step S1500, the guide image generation unit 250 generates a guide image including detailed information of the work of interest (detailed information of the work of interest) and simple next work information.

  In step S1600, display unit 260 displays the generated guide image. The user refers to the attention work detailed information included in the guide image, performs the cooking work, and refers to the next work simple information included in the guide image to appropriately prepare for the next work.

  In step S1700, the work determination unit 230 determines whether or not an operation for switching the main display target to the next work (hereinafter referred to as “switching operation”) such as the above-described swipe operation has been performed by the user. If the switching operation is not performed (S1700: NO), work determination unit 230 advances the process to step S1800.

  In step S1800, the work determination unit 230 determines whether or not an instruction to end the process is given by a user operation or the like. If the end of the process is not instructed (S1800: NO), work determination unit 230 returns the process to step S1700 while maintaining the display state of the guide screen.

  When the work corresponding to the detailed work detail information is completed, the user performs a switching operation. When the switching operation is performed (S1700: YES), work determination unit 230 advances the process to step S1900.

  In step S1900, the work determination unit 230 determines the next work and returns the process to step S1300. That is, the main display target is switched to the work next to the decided work. Such a work is a work in which the next work simple information indicates the contents until immediately before.

  By repeating the processing of steps S1100 to S1900 according to the display target sending operation by the user, the content of the guide image is switched along the work procedure.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a guide image. Here, an example of the guide image when the fourth work (Step 4) in the recipe data 310 shown in FIG. 2 is determined is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the guide image 410 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 251 with a touch panel of the cooking assistance device 200. The guide image 410 has a main area 420 for displaying attention work detailed information 421 and a sub area 430 for displaying next work simple information 431. The main region 420 is larger than the sub region 430 and is disposed above the sub region 430.

  The attention work detailed information 421 is composed of a number “Step 4”, a text “put butter on a frying pan and put it on low heat”, and an image showing that the butter is put on a frying pan and set on low heat. Yes. This is the detailed information itself of the fourth work included in the recipe data 310.

  On the other hand, the next operation simple information 431 is composed of a text indicating “next step” indicating the next operation and a summary sentence simply indicating the content of the next operation “burning firewood”. This summary sentence is a summary sentence of the detailed information text of the fourth work described in FIG. 4 "When the butter starts to melt, put the firewood on a low heat for about 10 minutes. .

  When the switching operation is performed, the fifth work becomes the attention work, so the guide image 410 reads “Step 5. When the butter starts to melt, put the firewood and bake for about 10 minutes with low heat. And the corresponding image are displayed in the main area 420.

  For reference, an example of a guide image by the technique described in Patent Document 1 is shown in FIG. 7, and an example of a guide image by the technique described in Patent Document 2 is shown in FIG.

  In the guide image 511 that collectively displays detailed information of a series of tasks as shown in FIG. 7, it is difficult to understand where the details of the tasks to be performed are displayed. Further, in the guide image 512 that displays detailed work information for each work as shown in FIG. 8, the work content of the work to be performed next is not known.

  On the other hand, in the guide image 410 (see FIG. 6) according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily grasp the detailed contents of the work to be performed at the present time and to grasp the outline of the work to be performed next. Is possible. Therefore, the user can anticipate and understand the contents of the next cooking operation while performing the current cooking operation, and can perform the necessary setup.

  Returning to FIG. When the work determining unit 230 is instructed to end the process (S1800: YES), the work determining unit 230 ends the display of the guide image.

  With such an operation, the cooking support apparatus 200 presents the guide image that presents the detailed information of the work being performed by the user and the simple information of the work to be performed next in accordance with the progress of the work. Can be displayed.

  Note that the work determination unit 230 may hold the detailed information acquired for a certain next work until the main display target is switched to the next work, and use the detailed information as new detailed work information. The detailed information may be retained by the guide image generation unit 250. In this case, the work determination unit 230 outputs the acquired detailed information to the guide image generation unit 250 every time the detailed information of the next work is acquired.

  In addition, the work determination unit 230 may accept an operation for switching a main display target in a direction opposite to the work order direction or an operation for selecting an arbitrary work from the user.

<Effects of the present embodiment>
As described above, cooking support apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment determines one of a plurality of operations to be performed in order in cooking, and information indicating the content of the attention task that is the determined task. And a guide image including the information indicating the content of the next work that is the work to be performed after the determined work.

  Thereby, the cooking assistance apparatus 200 can additionally present the outline of the work to be performed next to the user while presenting the detailed contents of the work to be performed in an easy-to-understand manner. That is, by using the cooking support apparatus 200, the user can quickly confirm the work contents of the work to be performed at each time point of the cooking process and prepare cooking utensils and materials necessary for the next work. . Therefore, the cooking assistance apparatus 200 can effectively support cooking performed with reference to the recipe information.

<Modification of the present embodiment>
The configuration of the guide image is not limited to the above example. For example, the guide image may display detailed information of the work of interest on the entire screen, and display the next work simple information in a part of the display area. Further, the guide image may further include information other than the attention work detailed information and the next work simple information. Such information includes, for example, information indicating which position in the entire cooking process is the work of interest, information indicating the contents of other work more simplified than the next work, and material information.

  Moreover, the content of the recipe data and the acquisition method thereof are not limited to the above-described example. For example, the recipe data may include information related to the time of each work and information related to the work transfer timing. Moreover, the cooking assistance apparatus itself may generate recipe data in accordance with a user operation or the like.

  Moreover, the method of determining one from a plurality of operations is not limited to the above example. For example, the work determination unit 230 automatically switches the main display target work based on the start of cooking, the elapsed time from the start of each work, or the operation of the cooking utensil such as the operation of the oven being completed. May be.

  Further, the simplification rule and the summary rule for generating the next work simple information are not limited to the above example. For example, the simplified information generation unit 240 may use a simplification rule that only simple text or only images of the detailed information is used. In addition, the simplified information generation unit 240 determines whether to simplify the detailed information of the next operation according to the size of the area where the guide image is displayed on the display, uses any of a plurality of simplified rules, or Which of a plurality of summary rules is used may be determined. In addition, the simple information generation unit 240 may receive a determination operation regarding what rule to generate the next work simple information based on what kind of rule from the user.

  An example of a modified example of the simplification rule for generating the above-described simplified next work information will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing for generating the next work simple information. Specifically, the process of step S1400 shown in FIG. 5 is replaced with the flow shown in FIG. After step S1300 ends, in step S1401, the simple information generation unit 240 acquires screen size information indicating the screen size of the display unit 260. This screen size information may be held in a storage unit (not shown) of the cooking support apparatus 200.

  In step S <b> 1402, based on the acquired screen size information, the simple information generation unit 240 determines the limited number of characters that represents the number of characters that can be displayed on the display unit 260. At this time, the font size of the character is set to a predetermined value, and the display unit 260 determines how many characters of the predetermined font size can be displayed. It should be noted that the limited number of characters may be determined as the number of characters that can be displayed in a part of the area obtained by removing the display area of the image to be included in the next work simple information from the screen size information.

  In step S1403, the simple information generation unit 240 acquires detailed information of the next work.

  In step S1404, the simple information generation unit 240 generates next work simple information based on the limited number of characters determined in step S1402 and the detailed information of the next work acquired in step S1403.

  Moreover, the acquisition method of the next work simple information is not limited to the above example. For example, when the recipe data includes simple information for each work, the cooking support apparatus may acquire the simple information for each work from the recipe data. Further, the cooking support device may request the summary of detailed information from an external device such as a text summarization server and obtain simple information of each operation.

  The application of the invention relating to the above-described display device is not limited to the above-described example. For example, the present invention can be applied to various devices including an image display unit, such as a cooking device such as a smartphone and a microwave oven, a game terminal, a television, a personal computer, a head mounted display (HMD), and a projector. Head mounted displays are broadly classified into “immersive type (non-transmissive type)” that covers the eyes of the wearer and “transmissive type” in which, for example, a spectacle lens is a transmissive type display. When the present invention is applied to a head-mounted display, a transmissive type is desirable in terms of being able to cook while referring to a recipe, but it may be implemented in an immersive type.

  In addition, a part of the configuration of the display device according to the present invention described above may be physically separated from other parts of the configuration of the display device. In this case, those configurations need to include communication units for communicating with each other.

  The present invention is useful as a display control method, a display control program, and a display device that can effectively support cooking performed with reference to recipe information.
