In addition, there are provided a liquid crystal display 110 for displaying cooking procedures and the like based on the cooking data, and an operation panel 111 for inputting cooking conditions (change conditions) such as a cooking quantity (number of people). The semiconductor memory card 104 serves to supply the cooking data received by the terminal device 103 to the microwave oven 105.

(Embodiment 1)

An example in which the cooking data providing device of the present invention is applied to the server 101 will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a main part of the server 101. In FIG. 2, a data receiving unit 201 (change condition input means) receives cooking conditions specified by a user or the like via a communication network 102. As the above cooking conditions, for example, conditions such as the amount of cooking (number of people), material restrictions (allergic items), calorie restrictions (how to make loaf att), restrictions on salt and sugar (how to make them modest) are used. In accordance with these cooking conditions, cooking equipment control data (information for controlling cooking equipment) such as ingredients, amounts of ingredients, heating time, etc. are changed as described later. The data includes, for example, information on the heating time by the microwave oven 105, the heating temperature, the heating output, the heating mode (whether heating by the oven or oven heating), and changes over time. 0 2 (cooking data holding means) (DB: database) includes, for example, text data indicating recipes such as cooking ingredients, amounts, and cooking procedures, and a completed image of the recipe. And cooking data including control data relating to the temperature setting and output of the cooking appliance during cooking, heating time, etc. Specifically, for example, FIG. The data as shown in Fig. 3 (b) is stored in order to display the material list as shown in Fig. 3 (b) Change rules DB 203 contains change rules (changes) for changing the above cooking data. Specifically, for example, FIG. 6 (a) described below is stored, and the change data DB 204 is used for change, for example, change data such as a list of alternative materials (more specifically, for example, The cooking data changing unit 205 (cooking data changing means) stores the above-described change rule, based on the cooking conditions received by the data receiving unit 201, and Using the change data, An interface (not shown) from the cooking data DB 202 Means), and the data transmitting unit 206 (output means) transmits the changed cooking data to a user or the like via the communication network 102. I have.

Next, the change of the cooking data will be described.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of cooking conditions designated by a user and the like, and items of cooking data changed with respect to the cooking conditions. As shown in the figure, for example, when a cooking amount is specified, it is necessary to change the material amount, and accordingly, it is necessary to change cooking device control data such as heating time. Also, if material restrictions such as allergic items are specified, it is necessary to change the material. If the specific heat of the material is different, it is necessary to change the heating time.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a change method for each change item. As shown in the figure, for example, the material can be changed by replacing with a substitute material or selecting from a plurality of materials. Here, the above-mentioned replacement and selection are the ones that can obtain the same result. As described later, the cooking data DB202, the change rule DB203, and the change data DB204 are used. The stored contents are different. In addition, the quantity and cooking appliance control data can be changed by replacement and selection in the same manner as described above, and can also be changed by correction by calculation.

Hereinafter, an example of a specific changing method will be described.

(Change of cooking data by replacement)

As an example of changing the cooking data by changing the contents of the cooking data, an example is described in which the calorie restriction is specified by the cooking conditions and the power is changed to “beef” power S “chicken” in the cooking data in Fig. 3 (b). I do. In this case, for example, the change rule stored in the change rule DB 203 as shown in FIG. 6 (a) and the change rule stored in the change data DB 204 as shown in FIG. 6 (b) Such change data (replacement table) is used. In the cooking data changing unit 205, the following operation is performed according to each row of the above change rule.

(1) The calorie moderation flag is set under the cooking conditions specified by the user. If you have

(2) For example, for each line (item) enclosed in “ku tr>” and “ku / tr>” in Fig. 3 (b),

(3) If the calorie of the material name (item.item ame) included in the line is indicated by ΉΓ in the replacement table in Fig. 6 (b), (for example, "beef")

(4) Check the class (ClassName), which is the classification of the above-mentioned material name (item.itemName), using the same staple, and check '("meat" in the case of "beef").

(5) For each item (itemName) in the table,

(6) Check if the class (getClassName) of the item is the same as the class of the above material name (item.itemName), and if the calorie (getCalorie (itemName)) is "LO", , (Eg "chicken")

(7) Swap the names of the ingredients (from "beef" to "chicken")

(8) In addition, cooking equipment control data (for example, heating time) is obtained from the heating constant and the quantity according to the specific heat of the material. More specifically, for example, when it can be considered that the amount of the material and the heating time are in a linear relationship, by multiplying the heating constant and the ratio of the amount, the changed material and the amount are changed. The heating time can be determined. Further, the heating time or the like may be obtained by a function or a table indicating the relationship between the amount of the material and the heating time.

If the above does not apply to (6), the other items in the replacement table (Fig. 6 (b)) are also examined in the same way, and for each material in Fig. 3 (b), the above (3) to (8) are applied. Repeat.

With such a change, a list of materials as shown in Fig. 6 (c) is displayed instead of Fig. 3 (a), and the heating time (not shown) is changed according to the change of the material. Be changed.

In addition, for example, the change of the heating time is not limited to the heating constant and the quantity according to the specific heat of the material as described above, but also the heating time of the original material and the specific heat of the original material and the material to be changed. It may be determined from the ratio of.

In addition, for example, the change data in which the material names and The data can also be stored in the change data DB 204 to change the ingredients and cooking equipment control data.

(Change of cooking data by selection)

An example will be described in which a plurality of options in the content of the cooking data are included in the cooking data itself, and the amount of the ingredients is selected according to the value of the cooking amount (number of people) which is a parameter of the cooking condition. The cooking data in this example includes two options surrounded by “ku sel>” and “ku / sel>” as shown in FIG. 8 (a). Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), when the cooking amount is specified as three servings as the cooking condition, the cooking data changing unit 205 sets the "tablespoon" on the second line as shown in FIG. 8 (c). “1Z2” is changed to the selected cooking data and transmitted, and is displayed on the terminal device 103 and the microwave oven 105 as shown in FIG. 8D.

When the cooking data is changed by the terminal device 103 or the microwave oven 105 as described later, the data is not necessarily generated once in the format as shown in FIG. The data may be changed to data in a format used for display. If other items such as cooking device control data need to be changed as described in the example of the change by the replacement according to the selection as described above, information indicating the fact is commented. It may be embedded in the cooking data in the form of, or may be added as an additional condition to the cooking condition.

(Change of cooking data by correction)

If the content of the cooking data can be changed by correction by calculation, etc., for example, a change rule as shown in FIG. 9 (a) and a change data (attribute table) as shown in FIG. 9 (b) Are used. In the cooking data change unit 205, the following operation is performed according to each line of the change rule.

(1) If the flag for reducing salt content in the cooking conditions specified by the user is set,

(3) Check if the class (getClassName) power S “salinity” is the classification of the material name (item.itemName) contained in the line, and if so, (4) Correct the amount contained in the line to 0.5 times.

The above (2) to (4) are repeated for each material in FIG. 3 (b).

As a result of such a change, cooking data in which only the amounts of “soy sauce” and “oyster sauce” are changed as shown in FIG. 9 (c) is generated, and the ingredients shown in FIG. 9 (d) are produced. Will be displayed. If necessary, the heating time and the like may also be changed in accordance with the above-mentioned change in the same manner as in the above-mentioned change ((8) in FIG. 6A).

The above-mentioned change method is used when the contents of the change are obtained by uniformly performing relatively simple operations such as the four arithmetic operations, or when the parameters of the cooking conditions and the values of the cooking data are in a linear relationship. The present invention is particularly easily applicable to such a case, but is not limited to this, and cooking data may be changed by using a function / simulation or the like.

In the above example, the example in which the cooking conditions received by the data receiving unit 201 are input to the cooking data changing unit 205 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Such cooking conditions may be input.

When the cooking data changed by the server 101 is sent to the terminal device 103 as described above, the data transmission capacity can be easily reduced.

(Embodiment 2)

An example in which the cooking data providing device of the present invention is applied to a personal computer as the terminal device 103 will be described. In the following embodiments, components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment and the like will be assigned the same reference numerals and explanations thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 10, the terminal device 103 has the same preparation data DB 202, change rule DB 203, change data DB 204, as in the first embodiment (FIG. 1). And a cooking data changing unit 205 is provided. The cooking data DB 202 and the like include cooking data, change rules, and change data downloaded from the server 101 via the communication network 102 and the data receiving unit 201 (cooking data input means). It is stored. Further, the cooking data changing unit 205 is changed by an input unit 211 such as a keyboard for inputting a cooking condition and the cooking data changing unit 205, and is not shown. The cooking data output through the interface (output means) is input, and the contents are changed by a display unit 212 (display means) for displaying the contents thereof, and similarly by a cooking data change unit 205, and are shown in the figure. Connected to a semiconductor memory card 104 (recording medium) that holds cooking data output via an interface (output means) that does not use the cooking data.

In the terminal device 103 configured as described above, the point at which cooking data and the like are sent from the server 101, the point at which cooking conditions are input from the input unit 211, and the changed cooking data The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the data is output to the display unit 212, but the operation of changing the cooking data itself by the cooking data changing unit 205 is the same. Therefore, cooking data corresponding to desired cooking conditions can be easily displayed on the display unit 212 without downloading or selecting cooking data corresponding to various cooking conditions. Also, since the server 101 only needs to transmit each data, the load on the server 101 can be reduced.

In addition, the changed cooking data is displayed on the display unit 212 instead of the display unit 212 as described above, or is displayed on the display unit 212, and is also transmitted via a semiconductor memory card 104 or the like. The data may be transferred to the range 105 or the like and displayed on these devices or used for controlling the devices.

Further, the terminal device 103 is not limited to the personal computer as described above, and a similar function can be obtained by using a so-called set-top box.

(Embodiment 3)

An example in which the cooking data providing device of the present invention is applied to a microwave oven 105 as a cooking appliance will be described.

As shown in FIG. 11, the microwave oven 105 is provided with a cooking data changing unit 205. The cooking data change unit 205 has an operation panel 111 (change condition input means) to which cooking conditions are input, and an interface (output means) changed by the cooking data change unit 205 and not shown. Heating time is calculated based on the liquid crystal screen 110 (display means) which receives the cooking data output via the CPU and displays the contents thereof, and the cooking data input via an interface (output means) not shown. Cooking control section for controlling the equipment 2 2 1 (Control means). On the other hand, the semiconductor memory card 104 functions as the cooking data DB 202, the change rule DB 203, and the change data DB 204, and is downloaded from the server 101 by the terminal device 103. The cooking data, the change rule, and the change data obtained as described above are provided to the cooking data changing unit 205 through an interface (cooking data input means) (not shown). It should be noted that it may be directly connected to the terminal device 103 or the communication network 102 without passing through the semiconductor memory card 104 as described above, or may be cooked through a data broadcast receiver or the like. Data or the like may be input.

Even when the cooking data changing unit 205 is provided in the cooking appliance as described above, the operation of changing the cooking data itself is the same as in the first embodiment, and again, the cooking data according to the desired cooking conditions is transmitted. It can be easily displayed on the display unit 212 and the heating time can be controlled.

The cooking conditions, items to be changed, and the method of changing are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 as examples, and are not limited to these. Or you may. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, when cooking conditions include information indicating a user's favorite food, the amount of the food is changed based on the information. May be. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the method of seasoning ingredients and the like may be changed indirectly based on information indicating a change condition regarding cooking content, such as information indicating an area. The information indicating the above-mentioned area, etc. is not limited to information set as cooking-related information, and may include an address, a postal code, a telephone number, etc. as personal information held in a personal computer or the like for various purposes. Information may be used. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, for example, the cooking data may be changed based on a health condition obtained from a so-called electronic medical record or health management information. Also, as shown in Fig. 15, information about the cooking equipment owned by the user (the power used by the open or microwave oven, the magnitude of these outputs and the The cooking method, cooking device control data, and the like can be changed based on cooking device conditions such as functions and specifications). Furthermore, as shown in Figure 16 In addition, information on the ingredients that the user normally purchases (for example, whether the type of rice they buy often is “Koshihikari” or “Sasanishiki”, etc.) is provided by electronic commerce (EC). The information may be obtained from information on purchases of foodstuffs in one step, and the cooking method, cooking device control data, and the like may be changed based on the information. In addition, the amount of cooking in the above cooking conditions is shown as an example of the number of people. You may make it changeable.

In addition, examples of calorie restriction and salt restriction are two-stage conditions ("HI" or "LO" and whether or not to reduce salt content) for convenience of explanation. It may be specified in stages or by specific numerical values (caloric value or salt content), and is not limited to a single cooking, but may be limited to one day or within a specified period. The condition may be a cumulative value. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, the amount of meat to be cooked may be changed depending on whether the calorie intake at breakfast is 500 kca1 or more. Les ,.

Also, in the above example, for the sake of simplicity, each change condition is uniquely determined by each cooking condition.However, when changing the material, for example, the material limit and the calorie limit are determined comprehensively. Ingredients may be changed, any conditions may be applied preferentially, or material changes may be given priority to material limits, and calorie limits may be changed by changing the amount of ingredients. You may be satisfied. Specifically, for example, as shown in Fig. 18, the type of meat is determined according to the favorite ingredients, and the amount of the meat is determined by calorie restriction, etc. .

In addition, changes in cooking data are not limited to changes related to the cooking content itself, and the expression of cooking procedures can be carefully or concisely determined, and the size of displayed characters can be changed according to user attributes or specifications. May be changed. That is, as shown in FIG. 19, for example, as shown in FIG. 19, the details are different depending on whether the user is a cooking expert or a beginner, or a more detailed explanation is provided (eg, via a network). For example, a link may be provided, and as shown in FIG. 20, the size of displayed characters may vary depending on the age of the user. The format may be different. Furthermore, the explanation is simplified according to various change conditions such as the size of the display screen and the type of device to be displayed (whether it is displayed on a cooking device such as a microwave oven, a personal computer, a set-top box, or the like). The size of the sheath or the character may be changed.

In the above example, an example in which the change rule and the change data are mainly input to the cooking data changing unit 205 to change the cooking data has been described. However, in the same manner as in the above selection example (FIG. 8), the changing and Even in the case of correction, the change rule and the change data may be included in the cooking data itself. Further, for example, a program for executing the processing as the cooking data changing unit 205 may substantially include the above-described change rules and change data. In other words, when the change rules and change data are provided independently, it is easy to handle them as general-purpose rules, etc., but when they are included in the cooking data, it is necessary to change the cooking data at the terminal. In this case, it is only necessary to download the cooking data, which facilitates transfer management. In addition, when included in the change processing program, management of the change processing program and the like becomes easy.

Further, the change of the cooking data is not limited to the server 101, the terminal device 103, or the microwave oven 105. Depending on the amount of data to be transferred, the server 101 may perform processing that requires simulation of the non-linear heating time, such as by performing the processing in the 103 or the microwave oven 105. The terminal device 103 may determine whether to perform the change process on the device, or change the process conditions (highly private) such as the family structure on the terminal device 103 side.

Further, each component of each of the above embodiments is not limited to being provided in the above-described device, but may be provided in various devices to perform data input, change, display, and the like. Good.
