Description
ELECTRONIC SYSTEM OF DYNAMIC COUPLING BETWEEN FOOD AND DRINK
FIELD OF APPLICATION
The present invention relates to an electronic system for dynamic food and drink coupling.
In particular, the invention relates to an electronic system for dynamic food 5 and drink coupling, in which a personal electronic device obtains by means of an electronic-digital identifier information which is related to food and drink menus, and the following description refers to this field of application to simplify its presentation.
PRIOR ART
0 In a restaurant, in particular in big restaurants structured to provide a plurality of different dishes related to different cultures and backgrounds, it is considered important to identify the flavour components of a food in order to understand what to enhance and what to compensate with a wine. It is known that a good wine and food pairing makes a meal pleasant and exalts5 the goodness of the prepared dishes. Conversely, an unbalanced food and wine pairing can spoil the impression and pleasure of a meal.
Unfortunately, the waiter assigned to a table often does not have sufficient knowledge in terms of pairings, or has knowledge limited to food-drink pairings relating to limited geographic areas/types of foods-drinks.
0 To fill this gap, the waiter may improvise a pairing or choose to consult with a colleague before recommending one.
In both cases, the choice of pairing to propose is not optimal because it is spoiled by partial incompetence and/or inefficiency.
An excellent choice would require that the waiter constantly stays up-to-date5 about possible food-drink pairings.
This requires unsustainable time and costs, representing a non-viable solution; therefore an inefficiency remains in the service provided by the restaurant.
A general object of the present invention is to overcome the known drawbacks.
An object of the invention is to provide an electronic system for dynamic food and drink coupling that is optimized in terms of execution efficiency. A specific object of the invention is to provide an electronic system for autonomous and dynamic food and drink coupling, making the intervention of ad hoc support staff unnecessary.
A further specific object is to provide an electronic system for autonomous and dynamic food and drink coupling able to autonomously produce different pairings which are actually available at a restaurant.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
These and other objects are achieved by an electronic system for dynamic food and drink coupling as claimed in claim 1.
Advantageous aspects are disclosed in dependent claims 2 to 9.
These and other objects are achieved by a restaurant adapted to interface with the electronic system for dynamic food and drink coupling.
The invention as described allows providing an electronic system for autonomous and dynamic food and drink coupling, obtaining the following technical effects:
- optimization in terms of execution efficiency for a clear advantage for the consumer; in particular:
freedom from interventions of ad hoc support staff
extreme reduction of the time required to obtain the coupling.
The technical effects/advantages mentioned, and other technical effects/advantages of the invention, will emerge in further detail from the description provided herein below of an example of embodiment provided by way of approximate and non-limiting example with reference to the appended drawings.

In one preferred embodiment of the invention, each taster device 31 is further configured to transmit to the food and drink coupling database 100 real-time updates / variations ACFD of the food-drink couplings CFD as a function of the organoleptic characteristics of both the food, and of the wine. Normally there are two general principles that apply in food/wine pairings, namely concordance and contrast. This means that certain organoleptic sensations of the food, in order to be correctly paired with a wine, will be associated with equivalent organoleptic sensations of the wine, while others will be countered by specific opposing organoleptic characteristics of the wine.
Preferably, in addition every taster device 31 is further configured to transmit to the food and drink coupling database 100 real-time updates / variations ACFD on the food-drink couplings CFD as a function of one or more of local customs and tradition or meteorological season, thereby further specifying said dynamic food and drink coupling function F_CFD.
The coupling according to local customs and tradition considers the consolidated culinary habits of an area that leverage historical and cultural
reasons. In this case history and tradition prevail and guide the coupling, as has been handed down from generation to generation.
The coupling according to the meteorological season is based on the seasonal availability of certain foods and certain wines, whose availability is somewhat limited to a range of a few weeks in a year.
In one embodiment of the invention, the dynamic food and drink coupling function F_CFD is based on an artificial intelligence system Sys_AI.
The selected menu item IT_MF, IT_MD is 'transmitted' to the artificial intelligence system according to the type: food or drink.
3 artificial intelligence systems are provided, each made expert on a type of drink: wine, beer or water.
As the diner gradually selects the items IT_MF, IT_MD, the items are sent to the artificial intelligence system according to type. The system provides advice, suggesting pairings.
The artificial intelligence systems manage the organoleptic characteristics of the drinks - wine, beer or water - and any specific dissonant aspects.
In particular, the artificial intelligence system Sys_AI will use a pairing based on the principles of concordance and contrast in the evaluation of beverages, food and their harmony.
It provides the population of corresponding databases of drinks DB_D_AI and foods DB_F_AI comprising at least a multiplicity TH of elements with respect to the conventional databases DB_D and DB_F such as to consider the databases of drinks DB_D_AI and foods DB_F_AI as "big data".
The value TH of elements is, therefore, a threshold value for the system of the invention, beyond which the calculation of the couplings can be performed by the artificial intelligence system Sys_AI.
A corresponding food and drink coupling database 100_AI - comprising the associations between the drinks DB_D_AI and foods databases DB_F_AI - will also be considered "big data".
The system of the invention, therefore, verifies the pairing with the drinks and foods and, if the multiplicity TH of elements has been reached, activates
the artificial intelligence system Sys_AI, otherwise the coupling is carried out on a mathematical-statistical basis, as previously described.
If the value TH of elements has been attained the artificial intelligence system Sys_AI calculates the values to enter in the food and drink coupling database 100_AI that contains statistically similar associations among drinks - in particular wines - and foods by giving each drink and food an associative map to which a value from 1 to N is assigned according to the greater affinity of the specific drink to preset parameters for drinks.
Optionally, at the end of the tasting, the system asks for an evaluation of its performance from the customer, which with his confirmation or negation on a scale from 1 to N allows the refinement of the contents in the food and drink coupling database 100_AI.
According to the invention, the drinks database DB_D_AI contains the main organoleptic description to which a value from 1 to N is assigned according to the greater affinity of the specific drink to a plurality of preset parameters for drinks.
According to the invention, the foods database DB_F_AI contains the main organoleptic description to which a value from 1 to N is assigned according to the greater affinity of the specific food to a plurality of preset parameters for foods.
In other words, with particular reference to figure 5, the artificial intelligence system Sys_AI of the invention is shown; in particular, the system exploits a machine learning method defined online machine learning in which data become sequentially available and are used to update the future data predictors for each iteration of the method.
The artificial intelligence system Sys_AI is configured to collect input data (DJnput) corresponding to food and drink couplings (CFD) defined as a function of at least a said first coupling item (Acc1 1 ) and a said second coupling item (Acc21 ).
The input data DJnput for the foods and/or drinks are the identifiers of foods and drinks IT_MF; IT_MD.
Preferably, the input data also comprise the updates / variations ACFD on food-drink couplings CFD received from the distributed network of tasters 3. The artificial intelligence system Sys_AI is configured to divide the input data DJnput into training data D_train and test data D_test for use in a neural network Net_Neu.
Preferably, the training and test subsets have respective shares of 80% and 20% compared to the total input data DJnput.
According to the invention, the training data D rain comprise at least the updates / variations ACFD on the food-drink couplings CFD received from the distributed network of tasters 3.
According to the invention, the test data D est and the training data DJrain comprise at least the coupling index IFD associated with each single coupling item, obtained from values assigned by different tasters to the same food- drink coupling CFD.
The artificial intelligence system Sys_AI according to the invention comprises a deep neural network DNN comprising:
- an input layer LJN configured to receive the input data DJnput,
- at least three hidden layers LJHID configured to process the input data DJnput
- an output layer L_OUT configured to output an estimate of the food-drink coupling index I FD.
