Description

  The present invention relates to a menu generation system, a menu generation method, and a menu generation program.

  In recent years, foreign tourists visiting Japan often operate their mobile terminals and access websites via a network such as the Internet in order to obtain information on a desired restaurant. As such websites, there are various information sites operated by restaurants or information providers in Japan, in addition to a tourist information site operated in the home country of foreign tourists. In various information sites operated in Japan, character information in the content is translated in a plurality of languages, and the content is provided for each of the plurality of languages. Thereby, the foreign tourist can browse the menu in a plurality of languages at each restaurant.

  For example, Patent Document 1 describes a handy terminal that can describe an explanation such as a recipe for cooking, the origin of cooking or how to eat a dish in either Japanese or English. In this handy terminal, when the person in charge of the restaurant inputs that the customer of the restaurant includes a foreigner, various explanatory texts are displayed in English. As a result, the person in charge at the restaurant can perform a service corresponding to the customer's customer base.

(Outline of menu generation system 1)
The menu generation system 1 has a function of generating a restaurant menu in a plurality of languages. The restaurant menu includes the name, genre, price, photo image, menu attribute, and the like of each dish provided by the restaurant. The food provided by each restaurant is a single dish, or a course meal, a set meal, a platter dish, or the like composed of a plurality of dishes. The menu attribute is a cooking ingredient, a seasoning, a cooking method, or the like. In addition, course meals, set meals, platter dishes, and the like may be hereinafter referred to as a menu composed of a plurality of items.

  The menu generation system 1 stores character information written in the native language (first language) and character information written in another language (second language) in association with each other for the menu attribute. That is, the menu generation system 1 stores character information of menu attributes written in each of a plurality of languages in association with each other. For example, the character information “pork” written in the first language (Japanese) and the character information “pork” written in the second language (English) are stored in association with each other. The language of the character information associated with each other is not limited to two, but three or more (first language (Japanese), second language (English), third language (Chinese (simplified)), fourth language (Korean), ...).

  The menu information registration process by the menu generation system will be described below.

  First, the menu generation system 1 is described in a first language from among stored menu attributes for each of a plurality of items constituting a predetermined course meal, set meal, platter dish, etc. provided at each restaurant. Accept selection input of text information of the selected menu attribute. The process of accepting the selection input of the character information of the menu attribute presents, for example, selectable character information of the menu attribute written in the first language to the parties (owners, employees, etc.) of each restaurant. This is a process of receiving character information of the menu attribute selected by the concerned party.

  Next, the menu generation system 1 writes the character information of the menu attribute written in the first language received for each of a plurality of items constituting a predetermined course meal, set meal or platter dish in the second language. It is converted to character information of the specified menu attribute. For example, the menu generation system 1 specifies the character information written in the first language of the menu attribute selected by the person concerned at each restaurant, and writes it in the second language stored in association with the specified character information. Extracted character information.

  Then, the menu generation system 1 outputs the character information of the menu attribute written in the converted second language for each of a plurality of items constituting a predetermined course dish, set meal, platter dish, or the like. The character information output processing includes character information display output processing on the display device included in the menu generation system 1, voice output processing of character information to the speaker included in the menu generation system 1, and character information output to the terminal and the like. Data transmission output processing. In addition, a terminal is a portable terminal which the user (customer) of each restaurant has, or a menu terminal etc. which are installed in each restaurant and a user of each restaurant orders a menu.

  As described above, the menu generation system 1 can convert the character information of the menu attribute written in the first language into the character information of the menu attribute written in the second language, and is accurately written in a plurality of languages. Menu information can be provided immediately.
