Further, when the number of the determination results of "inconsistency" is equal to or greater than the second threshold value, the menu information providing system 11 changes the pronunciation symbol stored in the pronunciation table 1905, so that it is more likely to memorize the special pronunciation of a few shop users in the pronunciation table 1905. low. By changing the pronunciation symbol in this way, it is possible to prevent the pronunciation symbols memorized in the pronunciation table 1905 from being frequently rewritten. Thereby, the number of times of rewriting processing can be reduced, and the processing load can be reduced. Moreover, the possibility of providing the wrong menu information to the store is low, and it is possible to provide the correct menu information to the users of the restaurant.

(Modification of the menu information providing system of the second embodiment)

In the menu information providing system 11, the menu attribute includes the foodstuff, the seasoning, and the cooking method. In the menu information providing system of the embodiment, the menu attribute may include at least one of the foodstuff, the seasoning, and the cooking method.

In the menu information providing system 11, the table such as the dish name table 1901 is stored in the first to third storage units 23 to 25 of the server 12, respectively. However, some or all of the forms such as the restaurant name table 1901 can be stored in the store terminal storage unit 32 of the store terminal 13, the portable terminal storage unit 42 of the portable terminal 14, or the store terminal storage unit 32 of the store terminal 13 and The portable terminal storage unit 42 of the portable terminal 14 is included. When a part or all of the table such as the restaurant name table 1901 is stored in the shop terminal storage unit 32 or the like, the server 12 accesses the shop in which the form is stored. The terminal storage unit 32 or the like acquires information stored in the table and executes various processes.

The menu information providing system 11 outputs an alarm signal when the text information converted from the voice does not match any of the food names stored in the first storage unit 23 and does not include the selection input information (S609). However, the menu information providing system of the embodiment can determine that the name of the dish in which the text information converted by the voice is not matched with any of the names of the dishes stored in the first storage unit 23 is not recorded in the menu of the recipe name table 1901. At this time, the memory processing unit 565 stores the menu name corresponding to the character information converted from the voice and the menu attribute associated with the text information converted from the voice as the temporary menu information in the third storage unit 25. Further, when the number of temporary menu information including the same cooking name and menu attribute is equal to or greater than a predetermined third threshold value, the memory processing unit 565 stores the temporary menu information as the menu information in the cooking name table 1901. The menu information providing system of the embodiment records the name of the dish not recorded in the dish name table 1901 in the dish name table 1901 after the predetermined processing, whereby the number of menus recorded in the dish name table 1901 can be automatically increased.

Further, when it is determined that the pronunciation information generated by the pronunciation information generating unit 573 matches the pronunciation information memorized in the cooking name table 1901, the menu information providing system of the embodiment can change the menu attribute memorized in the cooking name table 1901 to and from the registration. The menu attributes contained in the message are consistent. In other words, the menu information providing system of the embodiment may have a menu attribute changing unit that is determined to be generated by the pronunciation information generating unit 573. When the pronunciation information matches the pronunciation information memorized in the food name table 1901, the menu attribute memorized in the dish name table 1901 is changed to match the menu attribute included in the login information.

Further, in the menu information providing system 11, the first name registration screen 2300 displays the cooking name selection input pull-down list 2301, the recording start button 2302, the recording end button 2303, the execution button 2304, and the like. However, in the menu information providing system of the embodiment, the cooking name selection input pull-down list 2301 may not be displayed on the first registration screen. When the cooking name selection input drop-down list 2301 is not displayed on the first registration screen, the server 12 searches for and selects the cooking name from the cooking name table 1901 based on the text information converted from the voice signal indicating the voice of the store user when the restaurant name is spoken.

Further, in the menu information providing system 11, the second registration screen display data creation processing shown in S506 is realized by executing the processing of S601 to S609, but in the menu information providing system of the embodiment, the second registration screen shown in S506. The display data creation processing can be realized by omitting or modifying a part of the processing of S601 to S609. For example, in the menu information providing system of the embodiment, the second registration screen display material creation processing shown in S506 can omit the processing of S607 to S609. Further, in the menu information providing system 11, the menu information registration processing shown in S510 is implemented by executing the processing of S701 to S708. However, in the menu information providing system of the embodiment, the menu information registration processing shown in S510 may be omitted or modified. A part of the processing of S701 to S708 is processed to be realized. For example, in the menu information providing system of the embodiment, the menu information shown in S510 is logged in. The processing of S704 to S707 can be omitted. Further, in the menu information providing system of the embodiment, the menu information registration processing shown in S510 can omit the processing of S704 to S708, and a new menu ID can be created in the menu information table 2101 in accordance with the conversion processing of S702.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
