Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention. The following embodiment is an example embodying the present invention, and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[Cooking support device 1]
As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking assistance apparatus 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is provided with the control part 11, the memory | storage part 12, the operation part 13, the display part 14, the speaker 15, and communication I / F16. The cooking assistance apparatus 1 is implement | achieved using general-purpose information processing apparatuses, such as a smart phone, a tablet terminal, and a personal computer, for example. In other embodiments, the cooking support device 1 may be realized as an embedded system.

The control unit 11 includes control devices such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The CPU is a processor that executes various arithmetic processes. The ROM is a non-volatile storage unit in which control programs such as BIOS and OS for causing the CPU to execute various processes are stored in advance. The RAM is a volatile or nonvolatile storage unit that stores various types of information, and is used as a temporary storage memory (working area) for various types of processing executed by the CPU. And the control part 11 controls the cooking assistance apparatus 1 by performing the various control programs previously memorize | stored in the said ROM or the memory | storage part 12 by said CPU.

The storage unit 12 is a non-volatile storage unit such as a flash memory that stores various types of information. For example, the storage unit 12 stores a control program such as a cooking support program. The said cooking assistance program is a control program for making the control part 11 perform the below-mentioned cooking assistance process. The cooking support program may be read from a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium such as a CD, a DVD, or a USB memory and stored in the storage unit 12. Alternatively, the cooking support program may be received from an external information processing apparatus and stored in the storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 stores information such as time character string information D1 (FIG. 2), ambiguous word information D2 (FIG. 3), specific character string information D3 (FIG. 4), timer information D4 (FIG. 5), which will be described later. Remembered.

The operation unit 13 is an operation unit such as a touch panel, a hard key, a mouse, or a keyboard that accepts user operations. The operation unit 13 is an operation unit that can detect a non-contact operation by a user (for example, a voice operation, an operation of bringing a part of the body closer to the operation unit 13, an operation of holding a hand over the camera, a three-dimensional gesture). For example, a microphone, a proximity sensor, a camera, a non-contact touch panel, etc.) may be used.

The display unit 14 is a display unit such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display that displays various types of information such as recipe information described later.

The speaker 15 is a sound output unit that outputs music, melody, voice message, and the like.

The communication I / F 16 connects the cooking support apparatus 1 to a communication network such as the Internet by wire or wireless, and executes data communication according to a predetermined communication protocol with an external device such as a server apparatus via the communication network. This is a communication interface.

By the way, there is known a cooking support system capable of measuring the time required for each cooking step of cooking with a timer means. However, in order to measure the required time in the cooking support system, it is necessary to store in advance time data indicating the time required for each cooking process in addition to the explanatory text data indicating the cooking contents of each cooking process. Therefore, in the cooking support system, the required time cannot be easily measured using recipe information in which data indicating the required time for each work in cooking is not prepared in advance. On the other hand, in the cooking assistance apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, with the structure and operation | movement demonstrated below, the required time is calculated using the recipe information in which the data which show the required time of each operation | work in cooking are not prepared beforehand. It can be easily measured.

The control unit 11 executes various processes according to the cooking support program stored in the storage unit 12, thereby obtaining an acquisition processing unit 111, a display processing unit 112, an extraction processing unit 113, a setting processing unit 114, and a measurement processing unit. 115 and the notification processing unit 116. Note that some or all of these processing units may be configured by an electronic circuit.

The acquisition processing unit 111 acquires recipe information indicating the cooking content of each cooking step of cooking. The recipe information includes, for example, a character string and an image indicating the cooking content of each cooking step of cooking. Various methods can be considered as the method for acquiring the recipe information by the acquisition processing unit 111. For example, the acquisition processing unit 111 may acquire the recipe information from an external information processing apparatus through the communication I / F 16. For example, the acquisition processing unit 111 may receive, from the web server on the Internet, data of a web page on which character strings and images indicating the cooking contents of each cooking process are posted as the recipe information. Further, the acquisition processing unit 111 may acquire the recipe information from an external memory such as a USB memory or an SD card. In addition, when the recipe information is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance, the acquisition processing unit 111 may read the recipe information from the storage unit 12. In addition, the acquisition processing unit 111 includes image data including character strings and images indicating cooking contents of each cooking step of the dish (for example, image data obtained by reading recipe information published in a cookbook, a cooking magazine, or the like with a scanner) The recipe information may be acquired by performing a character recognition process on image data obtained by photographing the recipe information with a camera.

The display processing unit 112 displays the cooking content of each cooking process on the display unit 14 based on the recipe information acquired by the acquisition processing unit 111. FIG. 7 shows an example of the recipe screen P1 displayed on the display unit 14 by the display processing unit 112. The recipe screen P1 includes a character string and an image indicating the cooking contents of each cooking process. In the example shown in FIG. 7, only a part of the plurality of cooking steps is displayed. The display processing unit 112 can scroll the cooking contents of each cooking step displayed on the display unit 14 according to a scroll operation (for example, swipe, flick, drag, scroll bar operation, etc.).

The extraction processing unit 113 extracts a character string indicating time from the recipe information. The character string indicating the time is a character string including a combination of a number and a word indicating time, such as “10 minutes”, “30 seconds”, “1 hour”, and the like. As another example of the character string indicating the time, for example, the time from the first time to the second time longer than the first time, such as “30 to 40 minutes”, “40 seconds to 50 seconds”, etc. A character string indicating a time having a width is conceivable. For example, the extraction processing unit 113 may extract a character string indicating time from the recipe information based on the time character string information D1 shown in FIG. The time character string information D1 includes character string candidates indicating time. “◯” shown in FIG. 2 indicates an arbitrary integer. The time character string information D1 is stored in the storage unit 12, for example.

The setting processing unit 114 sets the measurement time based on the character string extracted by the extraction processing unit 113. For example, when the character string is “10 minutes”, the setting processing unit 114 sets the measurement time to 10 minutes. Further, when the character string is “30 seconds”, the setting processing unit 114 sets the measurement time to 30 seconds.

The measurement processing unit 115 starts measuring the measurement time in response to a measurement start operation. The measurement start operation is a predetermined operation on the operation unit 13. The measurement start operation may be, for example, an operation of a specific soft key or a hard key, or the predetermined non-contact operation (for example, saying “start” toward the cooking support device 1, It is also possible to hold the hand over the cooking assistance device 1).

The notification processing unit 116 notifies that the measurement time measurement is completed in response to the measurement time measurement by the measurement processing unit 115 being completed. The notification by the notification processing unit 116 may be performed using the display unit 14, may be performed using the speaker 15, or may be performed using both of them. Further, the notification by the notification processing unit 116 may be performed by vibration or light emission of the cooking assistance device 1.

Thus, in the cooking assistance apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the character string indicating the time is extracted from the recipe information, and the measurement time is set based on the extracted character string. Therefore, according to the cooking assistance apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, it is possible to measure a required time easily using the recipe information in which the data which show the required time of each operation | work in cooking are not prepared beforehand. That is, according to the cooking assistance apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, even when it is a case where the recipe information published, for example on a web page, a cookbook, a cooking magazine, etc. is utilized, the time required for each operation | work is made easy. It is possible to measure.

Note that the setting processing unit 114 has the first time when the time indicated by the character string extracted by the extraction processing unit 113 has a time width from a first time to a second time longer than the first time. The measurement time may be set based on time. For example, when the character string is “30 to 40 minutes”, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time to 30 minutes. Thereby, since the user is notified that the first time has elapsed, the user can finish the work at an appropriate timing while confirming the state of the food from the time when the first time has elapsed. . Therefore, failures such as overcooking and overcooking can be prevented.

The setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time based on the second time when the time indicated by the character string has a time width from the first time to the second time. . For example, when the character string is “30 to 40 minutes”, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time to 40 minutes. In this case, the notification processing unit 116 may notify that the first time has elapsed in response to the first time having elapsed since the measurement processing unit 115 started measuring the measurement time. . For example, when the character string is “30 to 40 minutes”, the notification processing unit 116 determines that 30 minutes have elapsed since the start of measurement of the measurement time (here, 40 minutes). You may alert | report that elapsed. Thereby, since the user is notified that the first time has elapsed, the user can finish the work at an appropriate timing while confirming the state of the food from the time when the first time has elapsed. . In addition, since the user is also notified that the second time has elapsed, it is possible to more reliably prevent failures such as overcooking and overcooking.

The setting processing unit 114 sets a time shorter than the time indicated by the character string when a word indicating ambiguity is adjacent to the front or rear of the character string extracted by the extraction processing unit 113. You may set as measurement time. Examples of the word indicating ambiguity are “about”, “approximately”, “about”, and the like. For example, the setting processing unit 114 may determine whether or not a word indicating ambiguity is adjacent to the front or rear of the character string, based on the ambiguous word information D2 illustrated in FIG. The ambiguous word information D2 includes word candidates indicating ambiguity. For example, when the recipe information includes a character string “about 10 minutes” or “about 10 minutes”, the setting processing unit 114 is shorter than 10 minutes (for example, 8 minutes, 9 minutes, 9 minutes). 30 seconds) may be set as the measurement time. For example, when the word indicating ambiguity is adjacent to the front or rear of the character string, the setting processing unit 114 determines a predetermined coefficient (for example, less than 1) at the time indicated by the character string (for example, , 0.8, 0.9, etc.) may be set as the measurement time. Accordingly, since the user is notified at a time before the time indicated by the character string has elapsed, the user can finish the work at an appropriate timing while checking the state of the food from that time. it can. Therefore, failures such as overcooking and overcooking can be prevented.

Further, the setting processing unit 114 may set the time indicated by the character string as the measurement time when a word indicating ambiguity is adjacent to the front or rear of the character string. For example, when the recipe information includes a character string “about 10 minutes” or “about 10 minutes”, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time to 10 minutes. In this case, the notification processing unit 116 will soon measure the measurement time in response to the elapse of a predetermined time shorter than the measurement time after the measurement processing unit 115 starts measuring the measurement time. You may alert | report that it complete | finishes. For example, when the recipe information includes a character string “about 10 minutes” or “about 10 minutes”, the notification processing unit 116 starts 10 times after the measurement of the measurement time (here, 10 minutes) is started. When a time shorter than the minute (for example, 8 minutes, 9 minutes, 9 minutes 30 seconds, etc.) has elapsed, it may be notified that the measurement of the measurement time is about to end. Accordingly, since the user is informed that the measurement of the measurement time is about to end soon before the time indicated by the character string elapses, the user confirms the state of the food from that time. However, the work can be completed at an appropriate timing. In addition, since the user is also notified that the measurement time has elapsed, it is possible to more reliably prevent failures such as overcooking and overcooking.

Further, the setting processing unit 114 has a time width from a first time to a second time longer than the first time indicated by the character string extracted by the extraction processing unit 113, and the character string The measurement time may be set based on the first time when a word indicating ambiguity is adjacent to the front or rear of. For example, when the character string “about 30 to 40 minutes” is included in the recipe information, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time to 30 minutes.

Further, the setting processing unit 114 has a time width from a first time to a second time longer than the first time indicated by the character string extracted by the extraction processing unit 113, and the character string The measurement time may be set based on the first time when a word indicating ambiguity is adjacent to the front or rear of. For example, when the character string “about 30 to 40 minutes” is included in the recipe information, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time based on the second time. And the alerting | reporting process part 116 may alert | report that the said 1st time passed according to the said 1st time having passed since measurement of the said measurement time by the measurement process part 115 was started. For example, if the recipe information includes a character string “about 30 to 40 minutes”, the notification processing unit 116 has passed 30 minutes from the start of measurement of the measurement time (here, 40 minutes). Depending on the situation, it may be notified that 30 minutes have passed.

Note that the extraction processing unit 113 may extract a predetermined specific character string that does not include numbers from the recipe information. The specific character string is a character string that can roughly estimate the time required for the work, for example, “slowly over low heat”, “sufficient”, “quickly”, “quickly”, “until ”,“ Until clear ”,“ until room temperature ”. For example, the extraction processing unit 113 may extract the specific character string from the recipe information based on the specific character string information D3 (see FIG. 4). The specific character string information D3 includes candidates for the specific character string. Then, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time based on correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the specific character string and time and the specific character string extracted by the extraction processing unit 113. Good. The specific character string information D3 shown in FIG. 4 is an example of the correspondence information. The specific character string information D3 includes information of the estimated required time corresponding to each specific character string. For example, if the recipe information includes a character string “slowly over low heat”, the setting processing unit 114 sets the measurement time to 15 minutes based on the specific character string information D3. Note that the setting processing unit 114 may combine the specific character string with one or more keywords near the specific character string so that the estimated required time corresponding to each specific character string can be determined with higher accuracy. Based on the above, the measurement time may be set. Examples of the keywords include keywords indicating cooking methods such as “bake”, “boil”, and “sauté”, keywords indicating thermal power such as “low heat”, “high heat”, “200 degrees”, “onion”, “meat” ”,“ Udon ”and other keywords indicating ingredients.

Note that the extraction processing unit 113 may extract the character string indicating the time from a range corresponding to the position designated by the user instead of extracting the character string indicating the time from the entire recipe information. For example, the extraction processing unit 113 responds to a position specifying operation (for example, tap, click, long press, etc.) for specifying a position on the display unit 14, and a range (for example, a specified position) The character string indicating the time may be extracted from the recipe information in a range of a certain number of characters centered on the character displayed at the designated position. Thereby, compared with the case where the character string which shows the said time is extracted from the said whole recipe information, while being able to suppress misrecognition, the processing time which an extraction process requires can be shortened.

Note that the display processing unit 112 may display a start operation image T1 for receiving the measurement start operation at a position corresponding to the character string extracted by the extraction processing unit 113. For example, the display processing unit 112 may display a start operation image T1 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the upper start operation image T1 is displayed at the same height as the character string “90 minutes”, and the lower start operation image T1 is the same height as the character string “until room temperature”. Is displayed. In another embodiment, the start operation image may be inserted immediately before or immediately after the corresponding character string. The start operation image may be a character or a symbol. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the display processing unit 112 may display a start operation image T1 on which the measurement time set by the setting processing unit 114 is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the display processing unit 112 may display an underlined start operation image T1 attached to the corresponding character string.

The setting processing unit 114 calculates the measurement time based on the character string corresponding to the operated start operation image T1 in response to the operation (for example, tap, click, long press, etc.) of the start operation image T1. It may be set. For example, when the upper start operation image T1 shown in FIG. 8 is operated, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time to 90 minutes based on the character string “90 minutes”. When the lower start operation image T1 shown in FIG. 8 is operated, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time to 20 minutes based on the character string “until the room temperature”. Good (see FIG. 4).

The display processing unit 112 may scroll the cooking contents of each cooking process displayed on the display unit 14 according to the scroll operation and move the start operation image T1 so as to follow the corresponding character string. . Thereby, even if the display position of the character string is changed in accordance with the scroll operation, the start operation image T1 moves so as to follow the character string. Therefore, the user can select the character string and the start operation image T1. Can be easily grasped.

Note that the setting processing unit 114 outputs the non-contact operation (for example, saying “start” toward the cooking support device 1, the cooking support device 1) while a plurality of start operation images T <b> 1 are displayed on the display unit 14. 1), the measurement start operation is considered to have been performed on the start operation image T1 having the earliest work order among the plurality of start operation images T1. You may set measurement time. For example, when the non-contact operation is performed while the recipe screen P1 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed, the setting processing unit 114 performs the measurement start operation on the upper start operation image T1. Therefore, the measurement time may be set to 90 minutes. Accordingly, the user can easily operate the start operation image T1 having the earliest work order among the plurality of start operation images T1 displayed on the display unit 14 by the non-contact operation. Therefore, it is convenient when both hands are blocked or when both hands are dirty.

Note that the setting processing unit 114 may set, as the measurement time, a result of changing a temporary measurement time determined based on the character string in accordance with a user operation. For example, a timer adjustment screen P2 as shown in FIG. 11 may be displayed on the display unit 14 in response to the selection of the upper start operation image T1 shown in FIG. On the timer adjustment screen P2 shown in FIG. 11, a temporary measurement time (1 hour 30 minutes) determined based on the character string “90 minutes” is initially displayed. The timer adjustment screen P2 includes a plurality of adjustment keys K1 for changing the measurement time and a start key K2 for starting measurement of the measurement time after the change. Note that the display processing unit 112 may display the timer adjustment screen P2 only when the character string satisfies a specific condition. For example, the display processing unit 112, when the time indicated by the character string has a time width, when a word indicating ambiguity is adjacent to the front or rear of the character string, or the character string is the specific character The timer adjustment screen P2 may be displayed only in the case of a column.

The display processing unit 112 displays, on the display unit 14, a remaining time image T2 indicating the remaining time until the measurement time measurement ends in response to the measurement processing unit 115 starting measurement of the measurement time. It may be displayed. For example, the display processing unit 112 may display the remaining time image T2 at a position corresponding to the character string, as shown in FIG. And the display process part 112 moves the remaining time image T2 so that the cooking content of each cooking process currently displayed on the display part 14 may be scrolled according to scroll operation, and the corresponding said character string may be tracked. Also good. Thereby, even if the display position of the character string is changed in accordance with the scroll operation, the remaining time image T2 moves so as to follow the character string, so that the user can change the character string and the remaining time image T2. Can be easily grasped.

Further, the display processing unit 112 may display the remaining time in a predetermined remaining time display area A1 when the corresponding character string deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 in response to the scroll operation. . For example, when the character string “90 minutes” shown in FIG. 12 deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 in response to the scroll operation, the display processing unit 112 displays the remaining time display area as shown in FIG. The remaining time may be displayed on A1. Thereby, even when the character string deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 according to the scroll operation, the user can easily grasp the remaining time. Note that the remaining time display area A1 does not necessarily have to be displayed on the display unit 14 at all times. For example, the user may be able to switch display / non-display of the remaining time display area A1.

Further, the display processing unit 112 remains at the end of the screen of the display unit 14 or the end of the display area of the recipe information when the corresponding character string deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 in response to the scroll operation. The time image T2 may be continuously displayed. Thereby, even when the character string deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 according to the scroll operation, the user can easily grasp the remaining time.

In addition, when the corresponding character string is removed from the screen of the display unit 14 in response to the scroll operation, the display processing unit 112 displays a position display image M1 indicating the position of the character string as illustrated in FIG. May be displayed on the scroll bar. As a result, even when the character string deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 according to the scroll operation, the user performs the scroll operation using the position display image M1 as a guide as necessary, and the corresponding remaining time image T2. Or cooking content can be displayed easily. In the position display image M1, a number indicating the corresponding timer number may be displayed. For example, “1” indicating the timer 1 is displayed on the upper position display image M1 shown in FIG. 15, and “2” indicating the timer 2 is displayed on the lower position display image M1. Yes. Thus, the user can easily display the remaining time image T2 or the cooking content corresponding to the desired timer by performing a scroll operation using the position display image M1 corresponding to the desired timer as a guide.

In addition, when the corresponding character string is removed from the screen of the display unit 14 in response to the scroll operation, the display processing unit 112 displays a position display image M1 indicating the position of the character string as illustrated in FIG. May be displayed on the scroll bar. As a result, even when the character string deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 according to the scroll operation, the user performs the scroll operation using the position display image M1 as a guide as necessary, and the corresponding remaining time image T2. Or cooking content can be displayed easily.

Note that the measurement processing unit 115 can measure a plurality of measurement times in parallel. For example, the measurement processing unit 115 measures the measurement time corresponding to the character string “90 minutes” that is currently being measured in response to the operation of the upper start operation image T1 shown in FIG. In parallel with the “timer 1” measurement shown in FIG. 13, measurement of the measurement time corresponding to the character string “15 to 20 minutes” is started. As described above, when a plurality of measurement times are measured in parallel by the measurement processing unit 115, a plurality of remaining times (here, “timer 1”) are displayed in the remaining time display area A1, as shown in FIG. The remaining time and the remaining time of “Timer 2” may be displayed. In this case, the display processing unit 112 displays until the character string corresponding to the remaining time operated by the user is displayed on the display unit 14 among the plurality of remaining times displayed in the remaining time display area A1. The cooking content of each cooking process displayed on the unit 14 may be automatically scrolled.

As shown in FIG. 15, when a plurality of remaining times are displayed in the remaining time display area A1, the display processing unit 112 displays the plurality of remaining times in the order corresponding to the length of the remaining time. You may let them. For example, the display processing unit 112 may display the shorter remaining time on the upper side of the screen. In another embodiment, the display processing unit 112 may display only the shortest remaining time among the plurality of remaining times in the remaining time display area A1. Thereby, the display area of the display unit 14 can be used effectively.

Note that the display processing unit 112 displays each cooking displayed on the display unit 14 until at least the character string is displayed on the display unit 14 in response to the measurement time measurement by the measurement processing unit 115 being completed. The cooking contents of the process may be automatically scrolled. For example, in the state shown in FIG. 13, when the remaining time of “timer 1” displayed in the remaining time display area A1 becomes 0, the display processing unit 112 displays “ Until the character string “90 minutes” corresponding to “Timer 1” is displayed on the display unit 14, the cooking content of each cooking step displayed on the display unit 14 may be automatically scrolled. Thereby, the user can easily grasp which work measurement time measurement is completed.

[Cooking support processing]
Hereinafter, the cooking assistance process performed by the control part 11 of the cooking assistance apparatus 1 is demonstrated, referring FIG. In addition, the control part 11 starts the said cooking assistance process according to predetermined operation (For example, operation which selects a desired recipe from several recipes) in the cooking assistance apparatus 1 was performed.

<Step S11>
In step S <b> 11, the control unit 11 acquires recipe information indicating the cooking contents of each cooking step of cooking. The processing in step S11 is executed by the acquisition processing unit 111 of the control unit 11. The step S11 is an example of an acquisition step of the present invention. The control unit 11 acquires the recipe information from, for example, an external information processing device, a web server on the Internet, an external memory, the storage unit 12, and the like. In other embodiment, the control part 11 may acquire the said recipe information by performing a character recognition process with respect to the image data containing the character string and image which show the cooking content of each cooking process of cooking.

<Step S12>
In step S12, the control unit 11 extracts a character string indicating time from the recipe information acquired in step S11. For example, the control unit 11 extracts the character string (for example, a character string such as “90 minutes” or “until room temperature”) based on the time character string information D1 and the specific character string information D3. Then, the control unit 11 stores the extracted character string in the storage unit 12 (or the RAM) as “character string” information in the timer information D4 as shown in FIG. At this time, the control unit 11 includes, as part of the timer information D4, a “timer number” for identifying the timer and “position information” indicating the position of the character string in the recipe information as the character string. The data are stored in the storage unit 12 in association with each other. The processing in step S12 is executed by the extraction processing unit 113 of the control unit 11. Step S12 is an example of the extraction step of the present invention.

<Step S13>
In step S13, the control part 11 displays on the display part 14 the recipe screen P1 (refer FIG. 7) which shows the cooking content of each cooking process of cooking based on the said recipe information acquired by said step S11. At this time, based on the “position information” included in the timer information D4, the control unit 11 corresponds to the character string acquired in step S12 as in the recipe screen P1 shown in FIGS. The start operation image T1 may be displayed at the position. The processing in step S13 is executed by the display processing unit 112 of the control unit 11. Step S13 is an example of the display step of the present invention.

<Step S14>
In step S14, the control unit 11 determines whether or not a scroll operation (for example, swipe, flick, drag, scroll bar operation, etc.) has been performed. If it is determined that the scroll operation has been performed (S14: Yes), the process proceeds to step S15. On the other hand, if it is determined that the scroll operation is not performed (S14: No), the process proceeds to step S16.

<Step S15>
In step S15, the control part 11 scrolls the cooking content of each cooking process currently displayed on the display part 14 according to the said scroll operation. At this time, the control unit 11 may move the start operation image T1 or the remaining time image T2 so as to follow the corresponding character string based on the “position information” included in the timer information D4. In addition, when the character string corresponding to the remaining time image T2 deviates from the screen of the display unit 14 in response to the scroll operation, the control unit 11 displays the remaining time image as in the recipe screen P1 illustrated in FIG. The remaining time corresponding to T2 may be displayed in the remaining time display area A1. The processing in step S15 is executed by the display processing unit 112 of the control unit 11. Then, the process proceeds to step S16.

<Step S16>
In step S16, the control unit 11 determines whether or not a measurement start operation (for example, operation of the start operation image T1, operation of a specific hard key, the non-contact operation, etc.) has been performed. If it is determined that the measurement start operation has been performed (S16: Yes), the process proceeds to step S17. On the other hand, if it is determined that the measurement start operation has not been performed (S16: No), the process proceeds to step S19.

<Step S17>
In step S <b> 17, the control unit 11 sets a measurement time based on the character string corresponding to the measurement start operation, and starts measuring the measurement time. For example, like the timer information D4 shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 11 stores the measurement time set based on the character string in the storage unit 12 in association with the character string. The timer information D4 includes information on “remaining time”. When measurement of the measurement time is started in step S17, the value of “remaining time” is periodically updated (counted down). To go. The processing in step S17 is executed by the setting processing unit 114 and the measurement processing unit 115 of the control unit 11. The step S11 is an example of a setting step and a measurement step according to the present invention. In another embodiment, the measurement time may be set in advance before the measurement start operation is performed based on the character string extracted in step S12. For example, when the character string is extracted in step S12, the measurement time corresponding to the character string may be set.

<Step S18>
In step S18, the control unit 11 displays the remaining time image T2 at the position corresponding to the character string, as in the recipe screen P1 shown in FIG. 12, based on the “position information” included in the timer information D4. . In the remaining time image T2, the remaining time is displayed based on the value of “remaining time” included in the timer information D4. The processing in step S18 is executed by the display processing unit 112 of the control unit 11. Then, the process proceeds to step S19.

<Step S19>
In step S19, the controller 11 determines whether or not the measurement of the measurement time started in step S17 has ended. For example, when the value of “remaining time” included in the timer information D4 becomes 0, the control unit 11 determines that the measurement of the measurement time has ended. If it is determined that the measurement time has been measured (S19: Yes), the process proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, if it is determined that measurement of the measurement time has not ended (S19: No), the process proceeds to step S21.

<Step S20>
In step S <b> 20, the control unit 11 notifies that the measurement time has been measured by, for example, vibration or light emission of the display unit 14, the speaker 15, or the cooking assistance device 1. For example, the control unit 11 causes the speaker 15 to output a voice message to the effect that the measurement time has been measured, and displays “position information” included in the timer information D4 as in the recipe screen P1 shown in FIG. Based on this, the end image T3 may be displayed at a position corresponding to the character string. At this time, the control unit 11 may automatically scroll the cooking content of each cooking process displayed on the display unit 14 until at least the character string is displayed on the display unit 14. The processing in step S20 is executed by the notification processing unit 116 of the control unit 11. The step S20 is an example of a notification step of the present invention. Then, the process proceeds to step S21.

<Step S21>
In step S21, the control unit 11 determines whether cooking has ended. For example, the control unit 11 determines that cooking has ended when a specific operation indicating the end of cooking (for example, an operation of a cooking end button, a screen switching operation to another recipe, or the like) is performed. And when it is judged that cooking was complete | finished (S21: Yes), the said cooking assistance process will be complete | finished. On the other hand, if it is determined that cooking has not ended (S21: No), the process returns to step S14.

The present invention can be understood as an invention of a cooking support method including a part or all of the steps included in the cooking support process, and one or more steps included in the cooking support process may be omitted as appropriate. Good. Note that the steps in the cooking support process may be executed in different orders within a range that produces the same effects. Furthermore, a cooking support method in which each step in the cooking support process is executed by being distributed by a plurality of processors is also conceivable as another embodiment.

As described above, in the cooking assistance apparatus 1 according to this embodiment, a character string indicating time is extracted from the recipe information, and a measurement time is set based on the extracted character string. Therefore, according to the cooking assistance apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, it is possible to measure a required time easily using the recipe information in which the data which show the required time of each operation | work in cooking are not prepared beforehand. That is, according to the cooking assistance apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, even when it is a case where the recipe information published, for example on a web page, a cookbook, a cooking magazine, etc. is utilized, the time required for each operation | work is made easy. It is possible to measure. Moreover, since it is not necessary to prepare in advance data indicating the time required for each operation in cooking, a storage area for storing such data is not necessary. Moreover, since it is not necessary to acquire such data from an external information processing apparatus, communication traffic can be reduced. Since the user does not need to start the timer application separately, the operability is improved. In particular, when the hand during cooking is dirty, operability is required, and in such a case, the operation becomes smooth.

[Modification]
In addition, in this embodiment, although the cooking content of each cooking process of a dish is displayed on the display part 14 so that scrolling is possible, this invention is not limited to this. In other embodiment, the cooking content of each cooking process of cooking may be displayed on the display unit 14 as a different page for each cooking process. Then, the page displayed on the display unit 14 may be switched in accordance with a predetermined page switching operation (for example, swipe operation, page switching button operation, etc.).

In the present embodiment, the remaining time is indicated by a number like the remaining time image T2 shown in FIG. 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the remaining time image T2 shown in FIG. 12, a remaining time image whose color, size, etc. change according to the remaining time may be displayed. Alternatively, a remaining time image such as a progress bar may be displayed instead of the remaining time image T2 shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, the remaining time image T2 shown in FIG. 12 is automatically displayed in response to the start of the measurement time, but the present invention is not limited to this. In another embodiment, the remaining time image T2 may not be automatically displayed, and the remaining time image T2 may be displayed only when a predetermined operation is performed by the user. For example, the display processing unit 112 is only while the character string (or an icon displayed near the character string) corresponding to the remaining time image T2 is operated (for example, touch, long press, etc.) by the user. The remaining time image T2 may be temporarily popped up. Thereby, the display area of the display unit 14 can be used effectively.

In this embodiment, the time character string information D1, the ambiguous word information D2, and the specific character string information D3 are stored in the storage unit 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. In another embodiment, for example, part or all of the time character string information D1, the ambiguous word information D2, and the specific character string information D3 may be stored in an external information processing apparatus. And some or all of these information may be downloaded to the cooking assistance apparatus 1 from the said external information processing apparatus previously or as needed.

In the present embodiment, the process for acquiring the recipe information and the process for displaying the recipe information (that is, a character string and an image indicating the cooking contents of each cooking step) are executed according to the cooking support program. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In another embodiment, the recipe information acquisition process and display process may be executed according to a recipe information display program (for example, a web browser application) independent of the cooking support program. That is, the cooking assistance program may be executed in parallel with the recipe information display process by the recipe information display program. In this case, the cooking support program sets the measurement time based on at least the extraction step of extracting a character string indicating time from the recipe information and the character string extracted in the extraction step. Notifying that the measurement time has been measured in response to the setting step, the measurement step in which measurement of the measurement time is started in response to the measurement start operation, and the measurement time measurement in the measurement processing step has been completed. The notification step to be performed may be executed. Also in this case, as with the recipe screen P1 shown in FIGS. 8 to 16, the recipe information display program interlocks with the recipe screen displayed on the display unit 14 (for example, the recipe screen P1 shown in FIG. 7). Then, by the cooking support program, the start operation image T1, the timer adjustment screen P2, the remaining time image T2, the position display image M1, the end image T3, etc. are superimposed on the recipe screen (or in the vicinity of the recipe screen). ) May be displayed.

In this embodiment, a character string indicating time is extracted from the recipe information by the extraction processing unit 113, and the measurement time is set by the setting processing unit 114 based on the extracted character string. However, when data indicating the required time for each work in cooking is prepared in advance, the setting processing unit 114 may set the measurement time based on the data indicating the required time. In this case, the extraction process by the extraction processing unit 113 (that is, the process of step S12) can be omitted. That is, an embodiment in which the extraction processing unit 113 is omitted from the cooking assistance device 1 can be considered as a related embodiment related to the present invention. Also in the related embodiment, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained with respect to the effects caused by the components other than the extraction processing unit 113.
