(Knowledge that became the basis of this disclosure)
In the above prior art, the cooking process (preparation process) until each intermediate food is created and stored among all cooking processes is predetermined. On the other hand, since the user may not be able to secure the time required to execute a predetermined preparation process, there is a desire to prepare each intermediate food by a preparation process that matches the time that can be secured by the user. is there. However, there are an infinite number of preparation steps that match the time that can be secured by the user, and the intermediate foods that are prepared vary for each of the infinite number of preparation steps. Furthermore, each prepared intermediate food is stored in a storage container or the like, but depending on the storage period of each intermediate food, there are things that should be stored refrigerated and those that should be stored frozen, and each intermediate food is stored. The situation (for example, the combination when storing each intermediate food) also changes. Therefore, in order for the user to correctly perform the preparation process, it is preferable to present an image indicating the state when each intermediate food is stored, which is a target (sample) for each preparation process, to the user during the preparation process. For this purpose, it is necessary to prepare a large amount of the image in advance for each intermediate food to be prepared and for each state. However, it is difficult to prepare countless images in advance, that is, it is difficult to present the images to the user. For this reason, the preparation process independently performed by the user without the image may not be performed correctly, and as a result, the quality of the cooking may be deteriorated. The quality of cooking is a concept including concepts such as the taste of cooking, the texture of cooking, and the safety of cooking (whether or not it is hygienic).

  This indication provides the information processing method etc. which can control that the quality of cooking falls.

  If the quality of the dish completed by the user is low, the dish may be discarded and a new dish may need to be completed. In this case, there arises a problem that resources such as ingredients, articles and electric power required for discarded dishes are wasted. Since this indication can control that quality of cooking falls, it can solve the problem of the waste of the above-mentioned resource at the same time.

  The information processing method of the present disclosure is created by process information indicating each step of cooking, preparation time information indicating the preparation time of the dish, finishing time information indicating a finishing time of the dish, and the preparation. Storable period information indicating a storable period for each storage method of intermediate ingredients, and delimiter information for determining delimiters for dividing each process indicated by the process information into the preparatory preparation and the finishing, and obtaining the preparatory preparation Based on the time point information, the finishing time point information, and the storable period information, a storage method for each intermediate food material created in the preliminary preparation divided by the determined break is determined, and the determined storage method is Accordingly, a combination of each image corresponding to each of the intermediate ingredients is determined, and preliminary preparation process information indicating a process included in the preliminary preparation with an image based on the determined combination Output to the display device in association with.

  According to this, if each image corresponding to at least each intermediate food is prepared, a combination of the images is determined according to the determined storage method. Since an image based on the combination (for example, an image obtained by combining the images corresponding to the intermediate ingredients) is output to the display device in association with the preparation process information, the user can view the image based on the combination. The preparatory process can be performed correctly, and the deterioration of the quality of the dish completed during the finishing process can be suppressed.

  Further, as the delimiter information, time request information indicating a user request for the time for the preparation or the time for the finishing may be acquired.

  Thereby, the cooking process can be divided into a preparation process and a finishing process according to the time that the user can secure for preparation or the time that can be reserved for finishing.

  Further, the storage method may be output together with an image based on the combination.

  This makes it easy to understand how to save the created intermediate food.

  The image based on the combination may be an image obtained by combining the images corresponding to the intermediate food materials.

  According to this, since each image of each intermediate food is synthesized, the image based on the combination becomes an image closer to the state when the actual intermediate food is stored. Each intermediate food can be easily collected in a container or the like while viewing an image closer to the state when storing the food.

  Moreover, you may determine the said combination according to the state of each said intermediate foodstuff.

  For example, each intermediate food material may be in a seasoned state, a solid state, a juice-like state, a dry state, a wet state, or the like. For example, if the intermediate ingredients with the seasoning and other intermediate ingredients are stored together in one container, the other intermediate ingredients may also have a lower taste, so depending on the state of each intermediate ingredient, It may not be possible to store all in one container. Therefore, since the combination is determined according to the state of each intermediate food, unfavorable combinations such as lowering of the taste are excluded, it is more effective that the quality of the dish that is completed during the finishing process is lowered. Can be suppressed.

  Moreover, you may determine the said combination according to the length of the preservation | save period of each said intermediate foodstuff.

  For example, each intermediate food has different fragility depending on the type of food, and the storage period for each storage method such as refrigeration or freezing is different. For example, an intermediate food with a short refrigerated storage period and a long intermediate food may not be stored together in one container. Therefore, since the combination is determined according to the storage period of each intermediate ingredient, unfavorable combinations with greatly different storage periods are excluded, so that the quality of the dish completed during the finishing process is lowered. Can be more effectively suppressed.

  In addition, each image corresponding to each of the intermediate foods may include an image showing a container for storing each of the intermediate foods.

  Thereby, the user can recognize the intermediate ingredients that can be put together in one container and the intermediate ingredients that cannot be put together.

  The size of the image showing the container may be a size corresponding to the amount of each intermediate food.

  According to this, since the size of the image showing the container is a size corresponding to the amount of the intermediate food, the user can know how large the container should be prepared.

  Each image corresponding to each intermediate food may include an image for individually representing each intermediate food.

  According to this, as an image for individualizing and representing the intermediate ingredients, the image of the partition of each intermediate ingredient or the image of the wrapping wrap is also combined so that the user can also individually represent the intermediate ingredients. While looking at the combined image, it becomes easy to collect them in a container or the like so that the intermediate ingredients are not mixed.

  Furthermore, an instruction for individualizing each intermediate food may be output together with an image based on the combination.

  According to this, since an instruction for individualizing each intermediate ingredient is output, the user can easily recognize that it is necessary to individualize each intermediate ingredient.

  In addition, each image corresponding to each intermediate food may include an image indicating the state of each intermediate food.

  Thereby, it becomes unnecessary to prepare each image corresponding to each intermediate food in advance for each state of each intermediate food. For example, when the intermediate food is in a state of being seasoned, an image indicating the intermediate food is displayed on the image indicating the intermediate food (for example, orange if the taste is miso taste). An image corresponding to an intermediate food with a seasoning can be prepared by superimposing the images shown by adjusting the transmittance.

  The information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes process information indicating each step of cooking, preparation time information indicating the preparation time point, finishing time information indicating the finishing time point, and storage of intermediate ingredients created in the preparation condition. An acquisition unit for acquiring storage period information indicating a storage period for each method, and division information for determining a division for dividing each process indicated by the process information into the preparation and finishing, and the preparation time point A first determination unit that determines a storage method of each intermediate food material created in the preliminary preparation divided by the determined partition based on the information, the finishing time information, and the storage period information; A second determination unit that determines a combination of each image corresponding to each intermediate food according to the storage method, and an image based on the determined combination are included in the preparation And an output unit for outputting to the display device in association with the lower preparatory process information indicating a degree.

  Thereby, the information processing apparatus which can suppress that the quality of cooking falls can be provided.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  It should be noted that each of the embodiments described below shows a comprehensive or specific example.

Details of the operation of the combination determination unit 14 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that determining a combination includes determining whether to combine images and determining a combination mode.

  The output unit 15 outputs an image based on the combination determined by the combination determination unit 14 to the display device (for example, the terminal 20) in association with the preparation process information indicating the process included in the preparation (step S14). Details of the operation of the output unit 15 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The memory | storage part 16 memorize | stores the processable period information for every preservation | save method of the process information which shows each process of cooking, and the intermediate | middle ingredients created by preparation. Moreover, the memory | storage part 16 memorize | stores each image corresponding to each intermediate foodstuff. Each image is stored in the storage unit 16 as a container image DB (database) 16a, a food material image DB 16b, and a food material modification image DB 16c (see FIG. 11 described later). For example, the container image DB 16a includes an image indicating a container for storing each intermediate food, the food image DB 16b includes an image representing the appearance of each intermediate food, and the food modification image DB 16c includes each intermediate image. An image for individualizing and representing the ingredients and an image showing the state of each intermediate ingredient are included. Furthermore, the memory | storage part 16 memorize | stores the rule defined with respect to each intermediate foodstuff. The rule will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The storage unit 16 is realized by, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM (Random Access Memory).

  The information processing apparatus 10 is a computer including a processor (microprocessor), a memory, a communication interface (such as a communication circuit), and the like. The memory is a ROM, a RAM, or the like, and can store a control program (computer program) executed by the processor. For example, when the processor operates according to a control program (computer program), the information processing apparatus 10 realizes various functions (acquisition unit 11, delimiter determination unit 12, storage method determination unit 13, combination determination unit 14 and output unit 15). Will do.

[3. How to determine the separator]
Next, a method for determining a break that divides each process indicated by the process information into preparation and finishing will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of process information. In FIG. 4, a recipe “Pork's Nagatome Plum Roll” is shown as process information 21. For example, the process information 21 is transmitted to the terminal 20, and a recipe as shown in FIG. 4 is presented on the display of the terminal 20 as the process information 21. For example, the recipe includes five steps.

  The delimiter determination unit 12 determines a delimiter that divides the five steps (1) to (5) into the first half preparation step and the second half finishing step. The delimiter determining unit 12 determines the delimiter based on the delimiter information. The delimiter information is, for example, time request information indicating the user's request for the time for the user to prepare (can be spent) or the time for the finish (can be spent). Thereby, the cooking process can be divided into a preparation process and a finishing process according to the time that the user can secure for preparation or the time that can be reserved for finishing.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of time request information. FIG. 5 shows both the time required for preparation (30 minutes) and the time required for finishing (20 minutes) as the time request information 22.

  For example, the user inputs time for preparation or finishing time to the terminal 20, and the terminal 20 transmits time request information 22 indicating these times to the information processing apparatus 10, so that the acquisition unit 11 Time request information 22 is acquired. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the delimiter determining unit 12 has a preparation time of, for example, 30 minutes. Therefore, among the steps (1) to (5) in the step information 21, the step (1) Determine the steps that can be completed within 30 minutes. For example, the delimiter determination unit 12 determines that the process (2) can be completed within 30 minutes, and determines the delimiter 23 as illustrated in FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of divisions divided into preliminary preparation and finishing.

  When the acquisition unit 11 acquires only the time required for finishing as the time request information 22, the delimiter determination unit 12 determines from which process the work can be started until the process (5). By doing so, the break 23 may be determined.

  Thus, the delimiter determination unit 12 automatically determines a delimiter based on the time request information 22.

  The delimiter determination unit 12 may determine the delimiter 23 by directly specifying the delimiter 23 by the user, for example. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the time required for each process may be described in the recipe indicated in the process information 21a. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another example of the process information.

  For example, when the time that can be spent on preparation is 30 minutes, the user performs step (1) and step (2) as preparation steps from the time described in the recipe indicated in the process information 21a. Judge that you can. As a result, the user instructs to divide the process (2) from the process (3), and the delimiter determination unit 12 determines the delimiter 23 based on the instruction.

[4. Determination method of storage method]
Next, the determination method of the preservation | save method of each intermediate | middle food material produced in preliminary preparation is demonstrated using FIGS. 8-10.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of storable period information. In FIG. 8, pork, carrot, leek and sprouts are shown as the intermediate ingredients, and the storage period for each pork, carrot, leek and sprouts storage method is shown as the storage period information 24. For example, pork can be stored refrigerated for 3 days, semi-frozen for 1 week, and frozen for 2 weeks. Similarly, carrots, leek and bean sprouts have a storage period of 3 days, 2 days and 2 days, respectively, and a storage period of 2 weeks in a frozen state. In general, since semi-frozen is performed on meat, the shelf life in semi-frozen is not shown for vegetables (carrots, leek and sprouts).

  Thus, the preservation | save possible period for every preservation | save method of each intermediate food differs. In other words, the storage method of each intermediate food differs depending on the period (the difference between the preparation time and the finishing time) from the date when the intermediate food was created in the preparation to the date of finishing.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method of storing each intermediate food for each difference between the preparation time and the finishing time.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the difference is up to 2 days, all the intermediate ingredients (pork, carrot, leek and sprouts) can be refrigerated. In this case, all the intermediate ingredients can be stored together in one container. In addition, all intermediate ingredients can be stored frozen, but if frozen, the moisture will freeze and the quality of the dish will be easily reduced, and the quality of the dish will be less likely to deteriorate if stored refrigerated. Refrigerated storage is given priority.

  When the difference is 3 days, pork and carrots can be stored refrigerated, but leek and sprouts cannot be stored refrigerated, so they are stored frozen. Therefore, in this case, pork and carrots and leek and sprouts cannot be stored together in one container.

  When the difference is not less than 4 days and not more than 2 weeks, all the intermediate foods cannot be refrigerated and are stored frozen. In this case, all the intermediate ingredients can be stored together in one container.

  The preservation | save method determination part 13 determines the preservation | save method of each intermediate | middle foodstuff based on the preparation time information, finishing time information (specifically, the difference of a preparation time and finishing time), and preservation | save possible period information.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of preliminary preparation time information and finishing time information. FIG. 10 shows 6/11 (day) as the preparation time information and 6/14 (water) as the finishing time information.

  For example, the user inputs the date on which preparation is desired and the date on which finishing is to be performed to the terminal 20, and the terminal 20 acquires the preparation time information and the finishing time information indicating these dates by transmitting the information to the information processing apparatus 10. The unit 11 acquires preliminary preparation time information and finishing time information. And since the difference between the preparation time and the finishing time is, for example, 3 days, the storage method determination unit 13 determines the storage method for pork and carrots to be refrigerated storage, and the storage method for leek and sprouts is stored frozen. decide.

[5. How to determine the combination]
Next, a method for determining the combination of each image corresponding to each intermediate food will be described with reference to FIG. The combination of images may include a case where there is only one image. Also, here, in the preparatory process divided by the determined division, as an intermediate ingredient, chopped pork, shredded carrots, washed sprouts, shredded onions, shredded shimeji and miso pickles Suppose the pork is made.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a method of combining images corresponding to each intermediate food. Each image corresponding to each intermediate ingredient includes an image showing the intermediate ingredient, an image showing a container for storing each intermediate ingredient, an image for individually representing each intermediate ingredient, and an image showing the state of each intermediate ingredient These are stored in the storage unit 16 as a container image DB 16a, a food material image DB 16b, and a food material modification image DB 16c.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the container image DB 16 a includes, for example, a green container image 41, a white container image 42, and an orange container image 43 as images indicating the containers that store the intermediate ingredients. . In the food image DB 16b, as an image showing the intermediate food, for example, a food image 51 showing chopped pork, a food image 52 showing shredded carrots, a food image 53 showing washed sprouts, a shredded onion And an ingredient image 55 showing a randomly cut shimeji mushroom. The food material modification image DB 16c includes a personalized image 61 that shows wrap as an image for individually representing each intermediate food material, and a state image 62 that shows a state of pickled in miso as an image that shows the state of each intermediate food material. It is.

  The combination determination unit 14 determines the combination of each image corresponding to each intermediate food according to the storage method determined by the storage method determination unit 13. For example, a rule for combining images of intermediate ingredients determined in the same storage method is stored in the storage unit 16 or the like.

  In addition, the combination determination part 14 may determine the said combination according to the state of each intermediate foodstuff. For example, each intermediate food material may be in a seasoned state, a solid state, a juice-like state, a dry state, a wet state, or the like. For example, if the intermediate ingredients with the seasoning and other intermediate ingredients are stored together in one container, the other intermediate ingredients may also have a lower taste, so depending on the state of each intermediate ingredient, It may not be possible to store all in one container. Therefore, for example, a rule is stored in the storage unit 16 or the like that an image of an intermediate food with a seasoned state is not combined with an image of another intermediate food. Similarly, since the juice may be mixed with the other intermediate ingredients when the juice-like intermediate ingredients and the other intermediate ingredients are stored together in one container, for example, the middle of the juice-like condition A rule that the image of the food is not combined with the image of the other intermediate food is stored in the storage unit 16 or the like. Further, for example, a rule that the image of the dried intermediate food and the wet intermediate food are not combined is stored in the storage unit 16. Further, for example, since it is preferable to wrap the wet intermediate food with a wrap so that moisture does not evaporate, a rule that the wet intermediate food is combined with an image showing the wrap is stored in the storage unit 16 or the like. . Thus, since a combination is determined according to the state of each intermediate foodstuff, an unfavorable combination is excluded, and it can suppress more that the quality of the dish completed at the time of a finishing process falls.

  Moreover, the combination determination part 14 may determine a combination according to the length of the preservation | save period of each intermediate foodstuff. The length of the storable period means, for example, the fragility of each intermediate food, and a rule that the fragile intermediate food image and the fragile intermediate food image are not combined is stored in the storage unit 16. Yes. Thus, since a combination is determined according to the preservation | save period of each intermediate | middle foodstuff, since an unfavorable combination is excluded, it can suppress more that the quality of the dish completed at the time of a finishing process falls.

  Moreover, the rule that the image of a white container is not combined may be memorize | stored in the combination of the image of a white vegetable intermediate food. This is because when white vegetables are put in a white container, the white vegetables become difficult to see. Moreover, the rule of combining the image of a white container may be memorize | stored in the combination of the image of the intermediate food material of meat and vegetables. Moreover, the rule of combining the image of the intermediate foodstuff in the state where the underpaste was given with the container of the color corresponding to the said underpaste may be memorize | stored. For example, it can be shown that the intermediate food is pickled in miso by combining the image of the intermediate food and the image of the orange container.

  Based on such rules, the combination determination unit 14 determines combinations as shown on the left side, center, and right side of the lower part of FIG.

  For example, it is assumed that the storage method determination unit 13 determines to store pork, carrots and bean sprouts in a refrigerator, and determines to store onions and shimeji mushrooms in a frozen state. In this case, based on the rule that the images of the intermediate ingredients determined in the same storage method are combined, the combination determination unit 14 combines the ingredients images 51, 52, and 53, and the ingredients images 54 and 55 as combinations of the images. Determine the combination.

  Moreover, the combination determination part 14 also combines the image which shows the container which stores each intermediate foodstuff. Thereby, the user can recognize the intermediate ingredients that can be put together in one container and the intermediate ingredients that cannot be put together. For example, the combination determination unit 14 determines a combination of the food image 54 and 55 and the green container image 41 based on a rule that the image of the white container is not combined with the combination of the images of the white vegetable intermediate food. . In addition, the combination determination unit 14, for example, based on the rule that the image of the white container is combined with the image of the intermediate food of meat and vegetables, the food image 51, 52 and 53, the white container image 42, Determine the combination.

  Furthermore, the combination determination part 14 combines the image for individualizing and showing each intermediate foodstuff. The combination determination unit 14, for example, based on a rule that an image of a wet intermediate food is combined with an image showing a wrap, a combination of each of the food images 51, 52, and 53 and an individualized image 61 showing a wrap To decide. In addition, the combination determination unit 14 may, for example, combine a strong smell onion food image 54 and a personalized image 61 indicating wrap based on a rule that an image of a strong odor intermediate food is combined with an image indicating a wrap. To decide. Note that the shimeji mushroom is dry and has no strong odor, so the food image 55 and the individualized image 61 are not combined. Thereby, the user can easily collect the intermediate ingredients into a container or the like so that the intermediate ingredients are not mixed while looking at the combined image of the images for individually representing the intermediate ingredients.

  In addition, the combination determination unit 14 determines a combination of the pork food image 51 and the state image 62 indicating the state of being pickled in miso so as to represent the pork in a state with a taste (for example, miso taste). Note that the combination determination unit 14 determines that the combination of the food image 51 and the state image 62 is different from the combination of the food image 51 and the state image 62 based on a rule that the image of the intermediate food with the seasoning is not combined with the image of the other intermediate food. Do not combine food images. In addition, the combination determination unit 14 sets the food image 51, the state image 62, and the orange container image 43 based on the rule that the image of the intermediate food with the seasoning is combined with the container of the color corresponding to the seasoning. Determine the combination.

  Moreover, the image based on the combination determined by the combination determination part 14 is an image by which each image corresponding to each intermediate foodstuff was synthesize | combined, for example. Specifically, the image obtained by combining the images is an image in which each intermediate food is stored in the container. At this time, the size of the image showing each intermediate food becomes a size corresponding to the amount of each intermediate food created in the preliminary preparation process. For example, when the ratio of onion and shimeji mushroom and amount created in the preparatory process is 1: 1, the ratio of the sizes of the food images 54 and 55 is also 1: 1. The size of the image showing the container is a size corresponding to the amount of each intermediate food. For example, the size of the image showing the container is such that each food image can be accommodated (see FIG. 11). Thereby, since the size of the image showing the container is a size corresponding to the amount of the intermediate food, the user knows how much of the container should be prepared.

  The method for synthesizing the images is not particularly limited. For example, the images are synthesized as described below.

  For example, as shown in the lower left side of FIG. 11, each image is superimposed and synthesized in the order of the container image 41, the individualized image 61, and the food material images 54 and 55, so that one onion and shimeji An image is generated that is placed in a container and indicates that the onion is surrounded by wrapping to partition the onion and the shimeji.

  Also, for example, as shown in the lower center of FIG. 11, the images are superimposed and combined in the order of the container image 42, the food images 51 to 53, and the individualized image 61 with adjusted transmittance from the bottom. Thus, pork, carrots and bean sprouts are placed in one container, and an image is generated indicating that each of the pork, carrots and bean sprouts is individually wrapped in a wrap. In addition, the said transmittance | permeability is a transmittance | permeability which looks like the intermediate food is wrapped with the wrap.

  Further, for example, as shown in the lower right side of FIG. 11, the images are superimposed and combined in the order of the container image 43, the food image 51, and the state image 62 with adjusted transmittance from the bottom, so that the miso An image is created as if the soaked pork is in a container. In addition, the said transmittance | permeability is a transmittance | permeability which seems to have the color corresponding to undertone in the intermediate foodstuff.

  The method of synthesis is not limited to the above method. For example, the characteristics of the composition source image may be reflected in the composition destination image. The characteristics of the image include color, pattern, gloss or texture.

[6. Image output based on combination]
Next, image output based on the combination will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image based on a combination associated with the preparatory process information. In FIG. 12, among the steps (1) to (5) in the step information 21, the step (1) and the step (2), which are the preparation steps divided by the separator 23, are shown as the preparation step information 25. ing. In addition to the process (2) in the process information 21, “transfer to a storage container and store” is added to the process (2) in the preparatory process information 25. This means that when the steps (1) to (5) in the process information 21 are divided into the preparation step and the finishing step, it is necessary to “transfer to a storage container and store” at the end of the preparation step. Because. Therefore, regardless of the location of the break 23, “transfer to a storage container and save” is added to the last step of the preparation step.

  As illustrated in FIG. 12, the output unit 15 outputs an image 26 based on the combination in association with the preparatory process information 25. Thereby, on the display of the display device (terminal 20 or the like), the image 26 based on the combination is displayed as a sample next to the text indicating the preparation process in the preparation process information 25. Therefore, the user can correctly perform the preparation process while viewing the image 26 based on the combination.

  Further, the output unit 15 outputs the storage method together with the image 26 based on the combination. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the output unit 15 outputs a text 27 indicating a storage method together with an image 26 based on the combination. Thereby, the user can easily understand how to save the created intermediate food.

  Although not shown in the figure, the output unit 15 may output an instruction to individualize each intermediate food together with the image 26 based on the combination. When it is necessary to individualize each intermediate ingredient, an instruction to individualize each intermediate ingredient is output, so that the user can easily recognize that each intermediate ingredient needs to be individualized.

  As described above, if each image corresponding to at least each intermediate food is prepared, the combination of the images is determined according to the determined storage method. Since an image based on the combination (for example, an image obtained by combining the images corresponding to the intermediate ingredients) is output to the display device in association with the preparation process information, the user can view the image based on the combination. The preparatory process can be performed correctly, and the deterioration of the quality of the dish completed during the finishing process can be suppressed.
