FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the element selection information generation process.

First, the attribute extraction unit 232 searches the genre table and extracts a plurality of attributes associated with the genre shown in the information of the designated genre received by the designated genre receiving unit 231 from the genre table (step S201).

Next, the attribute extraction unit 232 searches the attribute table for each extracted attribute and identifies the element associated with the extracted attribute (step S202).

Next, the attribute extraction unit 232 generates element selection information based on the attribute and the element associated with the attribute (step S203), and ends the element selection information generation process. The element selection information is information for displaying the element selection screen 1000 that selectively displays a plurality of associated elements in the attribute table for each of the extracted plurality of attributes. The attribute extraction unit 232 generates element selection information so that a plurality of specified elements are displayed for each extracted attribute and whether or not each element is selected is displayed.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the name generation process.

First, the selection element receiving unit 234 extracts from the genre table a template for a predetermined language associated with the genre shown in the information of the designated genre received by the designated genre receiving unit 231 (step S301).

Next, the selection element receiving unit 234 specifies the element name of a predetermined language corresponding to the element shown in the information of the received selection element from the name table, and the specified element name is extracted from the genre table as a template. Names are generated by arranging them in the order of (step S302), and the name generation process is completed. In this way, the selection element receiving unit 234 sets the name associated with one of the languages of the elements selected for each of the plurality of attributes in the name table to the designated genre. Arrange in the order specified by the template corresponding to the language and generate the name.

For example, one predetermined language is English, and the elements "pork bone", "soy sauce", and "char siu" are selected for the attributes "dashi", "base seasoning", and "topping" associated with the genre "ramen". The name generation process by the selection element receiving unit 234 in the case will be described. The selection element receiver 234 is selected as an element of the attribute "base seasoning" in the [base seasoning] of the extracted English template "Ramen with [base seasoning] seasoned [dashi] soup topped with [topping]". Place the English name "soy sauce" for "soy sauce". Similarly, the selection element receiving unit 234 arranges "pork bone" and "roasted pork" in [dashi] and [topping], respectively. In this way, the selection element receiver 234 generates the English name "Ramen with soy sauce seasoned pork bone soup topped with roasted pork".

Further, the menu generation system 1 can appropriately generate a foreign language name of a menu including elements associated with a plurality of attributes. For example, in the attribute table shown in FIG. 6, the element "oyster" is associated with the attributes "dashi" and "topping". The generation of English names when such an element "oyster" is selected as the attribute "dashi" and when it is selected as the attribute "topping" will be described.

First, the name generation process by the selection element receiver 234 when "soy sauce" is selected as the element of the attribute "base seasoning" in the genre "ramen" and "oyster" is selected as the element of the attribute "dashi" is explained. do. The selection element receiver 234 puts "soy sauce" in the position of [base seasoning] in the extracted English template "Ramen with [base seasoning] seasoned [dashi] soup (topped with [topping])". ] Position "oyster". Further, the selected element receiving unit 234 deletes the part "(topped with [topping])" in the template including the attribute "topping" in which the element is not selected. In this way, the selection element receiving unit 234 generates the English name "Ramen with soy sauce seasoned oyster soup".

On the other hand, the name generation process by the selection element receiver 234 when "soy sauce" is selected as the element of the attribute "base seasoning" in the genre "ramen" and "oyster" is selected as the element of the attribute "topping" is explained. do. The selection element receiver 234 puts "soy sauce" in the position of [base seasoning] in the extracted English template "Ramen with [base seasoning] seasoned [dashi] soup (topped with [topping])" and [topping]. ] Position "oyster". Further, the selection element receiving unit 234 deletes the parentheses ("(" and ")" in the part "(topped with [topping])" in the template including the attribute "topping" in which the element is not selected. In this way, the selection element receiving unit 234 generates the English name "Ramen with soy sauce seasoned soup topped with oyster".

As described in detail above, the menu generation system 1 allows the user to easily select an element by transmitting information that allows the element to be selected for each attribute associated with the genre specified by the user to the user terminal.
