Moreover, the skill determination unit 37 may determine the cooking skill of the cook based on, for example, an input on the operation unit 26 by the cook.

(Processing by Information Processing System 1)
FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating processing performed by the information processing system 1 to which this embodiment is applied.
In the information processing system 1 of the present embodiment, when the cook requests the cooking method of the dish to be output by voice, the server device 10 sends information about the cooking method of the dish to the information processing device 20, and the information processing device 20 outputs by voice based on the information on the cooking method from the server device 10. The processing performed by the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be specifically described below.

The information processing device 20 requests the server device 10 for a list of information regarding cooking methods via the communication unit 23 (S21). Here, the list of information on cooking methods is used by the cook to select a desired dish, and a list of information on cooking methods of a plurality of dishes that the server device 10 has is shown. It is a thing. As a list of such cooking methods, for example, a list of name information 101 (see FIG. 2) regarding the names of the respective dishes among the information regarding the cooking methods of a plurality of dishes can be cited. In the following description, the list of information on cooking methods may be simply referred to as a list of cooking methods.
The server device 10 receives the request from the information processing device 20 (S11), and based on this, transmits the list of cooking methods to the information processing device 20 (S12).

The information processing device 20 receives the list of cooking methods from the server device 10 (S22), and provides this to the cook (S23). The method of providing the cook with a list of cooking methods is not particularly limited, but, for example, the information processing device 20 displays the received list of cooking methods on the display unit 22 or reads aloud by voice through the speaker 24. By offering,

Next, the information processing device 20 accepts a selection of a dish from the list, for example, through a manipulation of the operation unit 26 by the cook or an input of a voice to the microphone 25 (S24). Then, the information processing device 20 requests information regarding the cooking method of the selected dish from the server device 10 via the communication unit 23 (S25).

The server device 10 receives the request from the information processing device 20 (S13), and transmits information regarding the cooking method of the selected dish to the information processing device 20 (S14). As described above, the information about the cooking method of the dish transmitted from the server device 10 to the information processing device 20 includes the name information 101, the material information 102, and the cooking information 103 (see FIG. 2 for all).

The information processing device 20 receives the information on the cooking method of the dish from the server device 10 (S26), and temporarily stores it in the storage unit 21. Then, the information processing device 20 outputs (reproduces) the cooking method (text information 103b) of the dish by voice using the speaker based on the control of the control unit 30 by using the stored information on the cooking method of the dish ( S27). In addition, the cooking method (text information 103b) for cooking is sequentially reproduced for each process N (N=1, 2, 3,... ). Thereby, the cook can cook the dish based on the text information 103b reproduced by voice.

(Processing by Information Processing Device 20)
Next, in the information processing device 20, a process of outputting a cooking method of a dish by voice will be described in more detail. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing performed by the control unit 30 of the information processing device 20 when outputting a cooking method of a dish by voice.

When the information processing device 20 outputs the cooking method of a dish by voice, first, the information management unit 31 receives the setting relating to the dish (S101).
Specifically, the information management unit 31 sets, for example, the number of dishes to be cooked (one serving, two servings, etc.), the ingredients to be excluded from the cooking, and the like on the operation unit 26 and the microphone 25 as settings related to cooking. It is accepted via voice input to the. Then, the information management unit 31 changes the material information 102 and the cooking information 103 (text information 103b, time information 103c) stored in the storage unit 21 based on the received setting regarding the cooking method of the dish.

Subsequently, the skill determination unit 37 accepts the selection of the cooking skill of the cooker through an operation on the operation unit 26, a voice input to the microphone 25, or the like (S102). Specifically, the skill determination unit 37 corresponds to any of “high”, “normal”, and “low” cooking skill of the cooker through an operation on the operation unit 26, a voice input to the microphone 25, or the like. Accept the choice of whether to do. In step 102, the skill determination unit 37 presents the cook with a question regarding cooking by the display of the display unit 22 and the output of the sound from the speaker 24, and the cook's cooking is performed based on the response of the cook to the question. The skill may be determined. Further, for example, in step 102, the skill determination unit 37 may uniformly determine the cooking skill of the cooker as “normal”, instead of accepting the selection by the cook.

Then, the reproduction control unit 35 changes the setting related to the output according to the cooking skill accepted or determined in step 102 (S103). Specifically, the reproduction control unit 35 changes the output speed of the text information 103b, the number of times the output is repeated, or the like as the setting related to the output, according to the cooking skill received in step 102.
The reproduction control unit 35 may also accept settings such as the output volume, the type of audio to be output, and the presence/absence of BGM via the operation of the operation unit 26 or the input of audio to the microphone 25.

Next, the reproduction control unit 35 outputs the material information 102 by voice based on the output settings changed in step 103 (S104). Specifically, the reproduction control unit 35 gives a signal, for example, by the cook to input a voice (for example, “start.”) into the microphone 25 (the material name stored in the speaker 24 as the material information 102, and The amount is sequentially output by voice.
In the information processing device 20 according to the present embodiment, the display control unit 32 may display the material information 102 on the display unit 22 instead of outputting the material information 102 by voice by the reproduction control unit 35 in step 104. Good.

Next, the reproduction control unit 35 outputs the text information 103b of step N (N=1) in the information on the cooking method of the dish by voice, based on the output settings changed in step 103 (S105). In other words, the reproduction control unit 35 causes the speaker 24 to output the text information 103b of the process N (N=1) by voice.
Further, although details will be described later, in step 105, when the skill determination unit 37 determines that the cooking skill is “high”, the additional information 103e is also output by voice in addition to the text information 103b.

When the cooker inputs a voice to the microphone 25 while outputting the text information 103b by voice, the voice analysis unit 33 analyzes the input voice and gives an instruction by the cook. Understand the contents.
Further, the reproduction control unit 35 performs processing according to the instruction content grasped by the analysis of the voice analysis unit 33.

Although details will be omitted, for example, when the grasped instruction content is an interruption instruction for interrupting the output of the text information 103b (for example, “stop.”, “wait”, etc.), the reproduction control unit 35, The process of stopping the output of the text information 103b and restarting the output of the text information 103b is performed after a predetermined interruption time has elapsed.
If the grasped instruction content is a so-called repeat instruction for outputting the already output text information 103b again (for example, “again”), the reproduction control unit 35 stops the output of the text information 103b. The processing for outputting (repeat reproduction) the text information 103b that has already been output is performed again.

Further, when the grasped instruction content is a request for changing the setting related to output (for example, “loud sound”, “more slowly”, etc.), the reproduction control unit 35 changes the setting related to output. Processing (processing such as increasing the output volume and decreasing the output speed) is performed.
In addition, for example, when the voice analysis unit 33 cannot analyze the voice of the cook, the reproduction control unit 35 outputs a voice such as “Please say again” that prompts the cook to speak via the speaker 24. Good.

Next, the reproduction control unit 35 determines whether or not the audio output of the text information 103b in the process N is completed (S106). When the voice output of the text information 103b of the process N is not completed (NO in S106), the process returns to the step 105, and the voice output of the text information 103b of the process N is continuously performed.

On the other hand, when the audio output of the text information 103b of the process N is completed (YES in S106), the time counting unit 36 starts measuring time (S107).
Further, after the output of the text information 103b of the process N by voice is finished, when a work sound by the cook's cooking work is input to the microphone 25, the work sound analysis unit 34 analyzes the input work sound. Perform (S108). The analysis of the work sound by the work sound analysis unit 34 will be described in detail later.

Next, the time counting unit 36 determines whether the measured time has reached the time required for the process N based on the time information 103c corresponding to the process N (S109).
When the time measured by the timer 36 has not reached the time required for the process N (NO in S109), the process waits until the time measured by the timer 36 reaches the time required for the process N. Note that, until the time measured by the time counting unit 36 reaches the time required for the process N, the reproduction control unit 35 reports the remaining time via the speaker 24 (such as "30 seconds left") and cooking work. You may output the sound of confirmation (“Mix the pot.”, “Is it medium heat?”, etc.).

When the time measured by the time counting unit 36 has reached the time required for the process N (YES in S109), the reproduction control unit 35 determines whether the process N in which the text information 103b is reproduced is the final process of the cooking method. It is determined whether or not (S110).
When the process N in which the text information 103b is reproduced is the final process (YES in S110), the reproduction process of the cooking method of the dish by the information processing device 20 ends. At this time, the reproduction control unit 35 may output a voice (“completed.” or the like) indicating that reproduction of the cooking method of the dish is completed, via the speaker 24.

On the other hand, when the process N in which the text information 103b is reproduced is not the final process (NO in S110), the skill determination unit 37 acquires it through the microphone 25 and analyzes it by the voice analysis unit 33 and the work sound analysis unit 34. The cooking skill of the cook is determined based on the sound or the like (S111). Then, the reproduction control unit 35 changes the setting related to the output such as the output speed based on the cooking skill of the cook determined by the skill determination unit 37 (S112).
The determination of the cooking skill of the cook by the skill determination unit 37 and the change of the setting related to the output associated with the determined skill will be described in more detail later.

Next, the reproduction control unit 35 updates the process N to N+1 (N=N+1) (S113) and returns to step 105 to continue the process. As a result, the cooking method for cooking is sequentially reproduced for each step N (N=1, 2, 3,...) With the setting regarding output changed according to the cooking skill of the cook determined in step 111. Will be done.
In addition, in this example, the process N of step 113 is updated based on the time measurement by the time counting unit 36. However, for example, the sound analysis unit that is input to the microphone 25 does not wait until the required time elapses. The process N may be updated based on the voice of the cooker analyzed by 33 (for example, “Next”, etc.).

(About determination of cooking skill by the skill determination unit 37)
Subsequently, the process in which the skill determination unit 37 determines the cooking skill of the cook in Step 111 described above will be described in detail. The skill determination unit 37 of the present embodiment is based on an instruction by a cooker's voice input through the microphone 25, a work sound by the cooker input through the microphone 25, or the like during cooking in the process N. Then, the cooking skill of the cook is judged.
In addition, as described above, in this example, the skill determination unit 37 determines whether the cooking skill of the cooker is “high”, “normal”, or “low” based on a predetermined standard. To do.

First, the process in which the skill determination unit 37 determines the cooking skill of the cook based on the voice instruction of the cook will be described.
After the output of the text information 103b of the process N is started in step 105 and the time required for the process N is reached in step 109, the skill determination part 37 receives the voice analysis part 33 via the microphone 25. The content of the instruction and the number of times of the instruction are acquired for the instruction by the voice of the cooker analyzed in. Then, the skill determination unit 37 determines the cooking skill of the cook based on the content of the instruction and the number of instructions of the cook who have obtained the voice.

For example, the interruption instruction for interrupting the output of the text information 103b and the repeat instruction for repeating the reproduction of the text information 103b have a low cooking skill of the cooker, and the cooking work by the cooker is delayed with respect to the output of the text information 103b. It is easy to do when there is.
Therefore, the skill determination unit 37 has a lower cooking skill of the cooker as the number of interruption instructions and repeat instructions by the cooker increases, and a cooking skill of the cooker as the number of interruption instructions and repeat instructions by the cooker decreases. It can be determined to be high.

For example, the skill determination unit 37 can determine that the cook's cooking skill is “low” when the total number of times the cook has given the interruption instruction and the repeat instruction is equal to or greater than a predetermined upper limit value. In addition, the skill determination unit 37 can determine that the cook's cooking skill is “high” when the total number of times the cook has given the interruption instruction and the repeat instruction is less than a predetermined lower limit value. Further, the skill determination unit 37 may determine that the cooking skill of the cooker is “normal” when the sum of the numbers of times of instructions by the cook to suspend and repeat is greater than or equal to a predetermined lower limit and less than the upper limit. it can.

Next, the process in which the skill determination unit 37 determines the cooking skill of the cook based on the work sound of the cook cooking will be described.
Depending on the content of the cooking work, there is a process in which a predetermined work sound is generated. In the process in which such a work sound is generated, the work sound analysis unit 34 analyzes the work sound input via the microphone 25 in step 108 described above. Then, the skill determination unit 37 determines the cooking skill of the cook based on the analysis result by the work sound analysis unit 34.

For example, in the work of cutting the material such as the work of “slipping the cabbage” in the step 2 shown in FIG. 2, a predetermined work sound (“ton ton...”) is produced when the knife is moved up and down to cut the material. Occurs.
In such a process, the work sound analysis unit 34 analyzes the work sound cycle (work sound time interval), the work sound regularity, and the like regarding the work sound obtained through the microphone 25 and cutting the material.

Then, the skill determination unit 37, based on the analysis result by the work sound analysis unit 34, the shorter the cycle of the work sound (that is, the faster the material is cut) or the more the work sound is regular, the more the cooking is performed. It can be determined that the cooking skill of the person is high. In other words, the skill determination unit 37 may determine that the cooking skill of the cooker is lower as the cycle of the work sound is longer (that is, the material cutting speed is slower) or the work sound is more irregular. it can.

(Regarding change of output-related settings by the reproduction control unit 35)
Subsequently, in step 112 described above, the process in which the reproduction control unit 35 changes the setting related to the output based on the cooking skill of the cook determined by the skill determination unit 37 will be described in detail.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the correspondence between the cooking skill of the cooker determined by the skill determination unit 37 and the setting related to the output changed by the reproduction control unit 35. Note that the numerical values and the like shown in FIG. 7 are examples for explanation and are not necessarily accurate.

As shown in FIG. 7, the reproduction control unit 35 of the present embodiment changes the setting related to the output according to the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37. In this example, the reproduction control unit 35 sets, as output-related settings, an output speed at which the text information 103b is output, an interruption time at which the text information 103b is interrupted when an interruption instruction is given, and text information 103b when a repeat instruction is given. The number of repeats for repeatedly outputting and the output of the additional information 103e are changed according to the cooking skill. The output speed at which the text information 103b is output, the interruption time when the interruption instruction is given, and the number of repeats when the repeat instruction is given correspond to the output mode of the text information 103b by the reproduction control unit 35.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37 is “normal”, the output speed of outputting the text information 103b is “1.0 times”, and the interruption instruction is issued. The interruption time in the case of the repeat is set to "5 seconds", the number of repeats in the case of the repeat instruction is set to "2", and the output of the additional information 103e is set to "none".

On the other hand, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37 is “low”, the output speed of outputting the text information 103b is “0.8 times”. That is, when the cooking skill is determined to be "low", the output speed of outputting the text information 103b is changed to be slower than when the cooking skill is determined to be "normal".
Further, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37 is “low”, the interruption time when the interruption instruction is given is “10 seconds”. That is, when the cooking skill is determined to be “low”, the interruption time when the interruption instruction is given is changed to be longer than when the cooking skill is determined to be “normal”.
Further, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determining unit 37 is “low”, the number of repeats when the repeat instruction is given is “3 times”. That is, when the cooking skill is determined to be “low”, the number of repeats when the repeat instruction is given is changed more than when the cooking skill is determined to be “normal”.

Here, when the cook's cooking skill is "low", the cook's cooking work tends to be slower than when the cook's cooking skill is "ordinary". Cooking work may not catch up.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37 is "low", the output speed of outputting the text information 103b and the interruption time when the interruption instruction is given as the output-related conditions. Alternatively, by changing the number of repeats when the repeat instruction is given, the cook's cooking work can easily catch up with the output of the text information 103b.

On the other hand, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37 is “high”, the output speed of outputting the text information 103b is “1.2 times”. That is, when the cooking skill is determined to be “high”, the output speed for outputting the text information 103b is changed faster than when the cooking skill is determined to be “normal”.
When the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37 is “high”, the interruption time is “3 seconds” when the interruption instruction is given. That is, when the cooking skill is determined to be “high”, the interruption time when the interruption instruction is given is changed to be shorter than when the cooking skill is determined to be “normal”.
Furthermore, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37 is “high”, the number of repeats when the repeat instruction is given is “1”. That is, when the cooking skill is determined to be “high”, the number of repeats when the repeat instruction is given is changed to be smaller than that when the cooking skill is determined to be “normal”.

Here, when the cooking skill of the cook is “high”, the cooking work of the cook tends to be faster than when the cooking skill is “normal”, and until the text information 103b is output. In addition, the cook's hands may stop working.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determining unit 37 is “high”, the output speed at which the text information 103b is output and the interruption time when the interruption instruction is given as the output-related conditions. Alternatively, by changing the number of repeats when the repeat instruction is given as described above, it becomes easy to eliminate the gap between the output of the text information 103b and the cooking work of the cook, and the cook's hand stops. Is suppressed.

Furthermore, when the cooking skill determined by the skill determining unit 37 is “high”, the output of the additional information 103e is changed to “present”. That is, when it is determined that the cooking skill is “high”, in step 105 described above, the reproduction control unit 35 outputs the additional information 103e by voice in addition to the text information 103b.
As a result, a cook who is “high in cooking skill” can perform a cooking operation based on the additional information 103e, and can cook a food with a great added value such as a better looking one.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the output speed for outputting the text information 103b and the interruption for interrupting the text information 103b when the interruption instruction is given as the setting related to the output depending on the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37. The time, the number of repeats for repeatedly outputting the text information 103b when a repeat instruction is given, and the presence/absence of output of the additional information 103e are all changed, but the present invention is not limited to this.
At least one of the above may be changed as long as the setting relating to the output is changed according to the cooking skill determined by the skill determining unit 37, or the setting other than the above may be changed. For example, the required time (time information 103c) required to execute the cooking procedure corresponding to each process N may be changed depending on the cooking skill determined by the skill determining unit 37.

Further, the content of the text information 103b output by the reproduction control unit 35 may be changed according to the cooking skill determined by the skill determination unit 37.
Specifically, the cooking information 103 includes a plurality of pieces of text information 103b corresponding to cooking skills (text information for cooking skill “low”, text information for cooking skill “normal”, and cooking skill “high”). Text information) for different purposes, and different text information 103b may be output according to the cooking skill determined by the skill determining unit 37.

Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration is such that the cooking skill of the cooker is grasped for each process N and the setting relating to the output is changed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the cooking skill may be grasped and the setting relating to the output may be changed every time a plurality of steps N are performed, or the cooking skill may be grasped at a predetermined time interval and the setting relating to the output may be changed. Good.

As described above, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the cooking method is output by voice, the output of the cooking method is controlled according to the cooking skill of the cook. Accordingly, it is possible to easily eliminate the difference between the output of the cooking method and the cooking work of the cook due to the difference in the cooking skill of the cook.

In addition, in the information processing system 1 of the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 20 is configured to acquire the information regarding the cooking method of the dish from the server apparatus 10 via the network 50, but the present invention is not limited to this. .. For example, the information processing device 20 may store information regarding the cooking method of the dish in the storage unit 21 or the like in advance, or may obtain information regarding the cooking method of the dish via a recording medium or the like.
