請參閱第一圖,第一圖係顯示本發明較佳實施例所提供之遠端食材管理系統之系統示意圖。如圖所示,一種遠端食材管理系統100,包含一智慧型冰箱1、一食材辨識裝置2以及一智慧型手持裝置3。 Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic diagram showing the system of the remote food material management system provided by the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown, a remote food management system 100 includes a smart refrigerator 1, an ingredient identification device 2, and a smart handheld device 3.

智慧型冰箱1係存放有至少一待用食材200。食材辨識裝置2係設置於智慧型冰箱1內,並且包含一影像擷取鏡頭21以及一電路模組22。影像擷取鏡頭21係用以對待用食材200進行影像擷取而產生一食材影像。 The smart refrigerator 1 stores at least one in-use foodstuff 200. The food identifying device 2 is disposed in the smart refrigerator 1 and includes an image capturing lens 21 and a circuit module 22 . The image capturing lens 21 is configured to perform image capturing by using the food material 200 to generate an image of the food material.

電路模組22係電性連結於影像擷取鏡頭21,用以接收食材影像,並且包含一分析單元221、一食材資料庫222、一處理單元223、一儲存單元224、一計時單元225、一傳輸模組226以及一條碼辨識單元227。 The circuit module 22 is electrically connected to the image capturing lens 21 for receiving the image of the food material, and includes an analyzing unit 221, a food material database 222, a processing unit 223, a storage unit 224, a timing unit 225, and a The transmission module 226 and a code identification unit 227.

分析單元221係分析食材影像而產生對應於待用食材200之三個食材影像資料以及三個新鮮度參數,且食材影像資料包含一輪廓形狀、一食材顏色以及一食材體積估算值,而新鮮度參數包含一光澤度、一顏色亮度以及一顏色均勻度。在本實施例中,待用食材例如為牛番茄,而輪廓形狀例如為類橢圓形,食材顏色例如為紅色,食材體積估算值例如為400cm3,光澤度例如為70GU(Gloss. Unit),顏色亮度例如為6,顏色均勻度例如為均勻。 The analyzing unit 221 analyzes the food material image to generate three food image data corresponding to the food to be used 200 and three freshness parameters, and the food image data includes a contour shape, an food color, and an food volume estimation value, and the freshness. The parameters include a gloss, a color brightness, and a color uniformity. In this embodiment, the item to be used is, for example, a bovine tomato, and the outline shape is, for example, an elliptical shape, the color of the food item is, for example, red, the estimated value of the foodstuff is, for example, 400 cm 3 , and the gloss is, for example, 70 GU (Gloss. Unit), color. The brightness is, for example, 6, and the color uniformity is, for example, uniform.

食材資料庫222內建有複數個食材基本資料與複數個對應於食材基本資料之對照影像資料,食材基本資料包含了食材名稱與對應於食材名稱之食材密度,對照影像資料包含了對應於食材名稱之食材標準輪廓形狀、食材標準顏色、食材標準保存期限、食材標準光澤度、食材標準亮度以及一食材標準顏色均勻度。在本實施例中,食材基本資料包含了各種肉品、蔬菜與水果等食材的名稱與其對應之密度,以牛蕃茄為例,食材名稱為牛番茄,密度為1.1g/cm3,而食材標準輪廓形狀為類橢圓形,顏色為紅色,光澤度為75GU,顏色亮度為7,顏色均勻度為非常均勻。 The food material database 222 has a plurality of basic materials for the food materials and a plurality of control image data corresponding to the basic materials of the food materials. The basic materials of the food materials include the name of the food material and the density of the food material corresponding to the name of the food material, and the control image data includes the name corresponding to the food material. The standard contour shape of the foodstuff, the standard color of the foodstuff, the standard shelf life of the foodstuff, the standard gloss of the foodstuff, the standard brightness of the foodstuff, and the standard color uniformity of the foodstuff. In the present embodiment, the basic material of the food material includes the names of the various meat products, vegetables and fruits, and the corresponding density. The cattle meat is taken as an example, the name of the food material is cattle tomato, the density is 1.1 g/cm 3 , and the food standard is The contour shape is elliptical, the color is red, the gloss is 75GU, the color brightness is 7, and the color uniformity is very uniform.

處理單元223係電性連結於分析單元221與食材資料庫222,並比對食材影像資料與對照影像資料而判斷食材基本資料其中對應於待用食材200者為一待用食材基本資料,以依據待用食材基本資料與新鮮度參數計算出一對應於待用食材之保存效期,且處理單元223更依據待用食材基本資料與保存效期建立一食材清單。在本實施例中,處理單元223比對待用食材200之輪廓形狀與食材顏色符合牛番茄之食材標準輪廓形狀與食材標準顏色,因此判斷待用食材200為牛番茄,而處理單元223更比對新鮮度參數非常接近對照影像資料中之食材標準光澤度、食材標準亮度與食材標準顏色均勻度,因此判斷待用食材200非常新鮮,進而產生一保存效期,例如牛番茄的標準保存期限為10天,而處理單元223判斷牛番茄 為非常新鮮,因此保存期限為10天。 The processing unit 223 is electrically connected to the analysis unit 221 and the food material database 222, and compares the food material image data with the control image data to determine the basic material data of the food material, wherein the food material corresponding to the object to be used 200 is a basic material of the food to be used, The basic data of the ingredients to be used and the freshness parameter calculate a preservation period corresponding to the to-be-used food, and the processing unit 223 further establishes a list of ingredients according to the basic materials of the ingredients to be used and the preservation period. In the present embodiment, the processing unit 223 conforms to the outline shape of the food material 200 to be used and the color of the foodstuff according to the standard outline shape of the edible material of the bovine tomato and the standard color of the foodstuff. Therefore, it is determined that the in-use foodstuff 200 is a bovine tomato, and the processing unit 223 is more suitable. The freshness parameter is very close to the standard gloss of the food in the control image data, the standard brightness of the food and the standard color uniformity of the food. Therefore, it is judged that the food to be used 200 is very fresh, thereby generating a shelf life, for example, the standard shelf life of the cattle tomato is 10 Day, while processing unit 223 determines the cow tomato It is very fresh, so the shelf life is 10 days.

其中,由於本實施例之待用食材200為牛番茄,因此處理單元223可以直接藉由食材影像資料計算出牛番茄的數量,然而在其他實施例中,當待用食材200為外觀形狀不固定之食材時,例如肉品等,處理單元223便可依據食材體積估算值與食材參考密度進行計算而產生相對應之一食材重量。 Wherein, since the to-be-used food material 200 of this embodiment is a bovine tomato, the processing unit 223 can directly calculate the quantity of the bovine tomato by the image data of the foodstuff. However, in other embodiments, the shape of the in-use foodstuff 200 is not fixed. In the case of the foodstuff, such as meat, the processing unit 223 can calculate the weight of the foodstuff according to the estimated volume of the foodstuff and the reference density of the foodstuff.

儲存單元224係電性連結於處理單元223,用以儲存食材清單,且儲存單元224預儲有複數個食譜資料。 The storage unit 224 is electrically connected to the processing unit 223 for storing the food list, and the storage unit 224 prestores a plurality of recipe materials.

計時單元225係電性連結於處理單元223,用以提供一即時時間,處理單元223係依據即時時間與保存效期產生一保存期限。在本實施例中,即時時間例如為12月5日,因此保存期限為12月15日,即為即時時間加上保存效期。 The timing unit 225 is electrically coupled to the processing unit 223 for providing an instant time. The processing unit 223 generates a shelf life based on the immediate time and the retention period. In this embodiment, the instant time is, for example, December 5th, so the retention period is December 15th, which is the instant time plus the save validity period.

傳輸模組226係電性連結於儲存單元224。在實務運用上,傳輸模組226為網路連接埠、3G模組、藍芽模組或WiFi模組。 The transmission module 226 is electrically connected to the storage unit 224. In practice, the transmission module 226 is a network connection port, a 3G module, a Bluetooth module, or a WiFi module.

條碼辨識單元7係電性連結於處理單元223,並用以辨識食材影像其中之一條碼標籤,藉以獲得一廠商供應食材資訊。在本實施例中,待用食材200為不具有條碼標籤之食材,然而在其他實施例中,待用食材200亦可為具有條碼標籤之包裝食材,而條碼辨識單元7便可藉由條碼標籤來獲得廠商供應食材資訊。 The bar code identification unit 7 is electrically connected to the processing unit 223 and is used to identify one of the bar code labels of the food image to obtain a manufacturer's information on the food materials. In the present embodiment, the to-be-used food material 200 is an food material that does not have a barcode label. However, in other embodiments, the to-be-used food material 200 may also be a packaging material having a barcode label, and the barcode identification unit 7 may use a barcode label. To obtain information on the supply of ingredients from manufacturers.
