If you look at the recent news, many cases of cheating the grade and country of origin of the food you order have been found. For example, if a restaurant is selling first-class beef and runs out of stock, it may sell second-grade beef to customers. Or, there are cases where you order first-grade Korean beef, but sell second-grade beef instead of first-grade beef from the beginning. In addition, although the restaurant menu says that the origin of the ingredients is domestic, there are cases where Chinese ingredients are used.

Meanwhile, in a general process of ordering food at a restaurant, for example, receiving an order from a customer, and inputting the ordered food and quantity into an order terminal. In some cases, the input food and quantity are transmitted to a kitchen terminal in the kitchen, or, if there is no kitchen terminal, verbally put into the kitchen.

Recently, there are cases of ordering through automatic ordering kiosks. It is widely used in highway rest areas, restaurants, and lunch boxes. Customers enter food and quantity to order at the kiosk, and make a prepayment by card or online money. After payment, the ordered food and quantity are delivered to the kitchen terminal in the kitchen. When the food is ready, the order number is exposed on the display so that customers can know.

However, in the conventional ordering system, there is no way to sanction against illegal acts of ingredients. As a result, customers are directly harmed, so there is an urgent need for a solution to this problem.

1 is a diagram showing a food ordering system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of the food ordering service apparatus of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an order processing process of the system of FIG. , and Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of driving a food ordering service apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view showing a food ordering system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the food ordering system 90 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a restaurant device (101, 103, 105), a communication network 110, a food ordering service device 120 and a food ingredient management device ( 130) in part or all.

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the food ordering service device 120 are omitted so that the POS terminal device 101 or the food ordering device 103 is stand alone, that is, an independent form. In order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention, it means that it operates as or that some components such as the food ingredient management device 130 can be configured by being integrated with other components such as the food ordering service device 120 . Described as including everything.

The

restaurant devices

101 , 103 , and 105 include various devices provided for each restaurant. For example, the

restaurant apparatus

101, 103, and 105 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a POS terminal device 101 managed by a restaurant owner, that is, a manager (eg, ordering, payment, etc.), an order without a manager at a restaurant of a highway rest area It may include a food ordering device 103 such as a kiosk device made in this unmanned environment, a kitchen terminal device 105 that displays information when cooking is completed in the kitchen, and the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, only the POS terminal device 101 may be operated, a separate food ordering device 103 may be further operated, or only the food ordering device 103 may be operated. In addition, it may further include a photographing device, such as a camera installed in the kitchen to photograph the cooked food.

The POS terminal device 101 may refer to a typical conventional terminal that not only processes food orders when a user orders food at a restaurant, but also proceeds with payment after the customer completes a meal. In addition, the food ordering device 103 in the form of a kiosk means a terminal through which a customer can directly order food from a menu, such as a vending machine, and proceed with payment. Furthermore, the kitchen terminal device 105 represents various devices such as a display device that notifies the completion of cooking of the food ordered by the customer.

If the POS terminal device 101 or the food ordering device 103 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not configured with the food ordering service device 120 of FIG. can operate independently. In other words, for example, the food ordering device 103 may be installed in restaurant A, and may also be installed in restaurant B. Therefore, it is natural that the food ordering device 103 is loaded with the menu of the corresponding restaurant. Accordingly, the food ordering device 103 of the corresponding restaurant may store and periodically update the food ingredient information related to the food menu processed in the corresponding restaurant in connection with the food ingredient management device 130 . Accordingly, a program capable of processing information related to food ingredients processed in the corresponding restaurant as well as food ordering and payment processing may be installed internally.

Above all, the POS terminal device 101 or the food ordering device 103 determines the authenticity of the ingredients to block the input of false information related to ingredients in advance, and monitors the ingredients even when cooking is performed in the kitchen. It monitors whether the proper ingredients are being used and prevents the order processing itself from being processed based on this, or if a violation is detected, alert the manager or notify the relevant authorities of the violation. For example, the food ordering device 103 may secure data such as feature points based on an image of Korean beef of the corresponding origin based on the origin of first-grade Korean beef. Therefore, it is possible to judge the authenticity of the ingredients used based on this. In addition, when the manager of a restaurant registers ingredients, it is possible to determine the authenticity by using code information containing production and location tracking information, such as a barcode or QR code, to determine the authenticity and generate ingredient information based on this.

Accordingly, the food ordering device 103 can authenticate the product in the kitchen when the manager or the chef of the restaurant inputs information about the ingredients, and determine the authenticity based on this and register the product. For example, the authenticity may be determined by inputting a code. When the code is input, for example, information on ingredients for first-class Korean beef can be secured. Therefore, if there is an order processing from the customer, it is determined whether the order is possible based on the quantity or the like in the corresponding ingredient information. In addition, even after it is determined that cooking using the ingredients is possible through an order, it is possible to monitor the ingredients directly cooked in the kitchen to determine whether the ingredients are properly used periodically or in real time.

Of course, when the food ordering device 103 receives a photographed image from a photographing device, such as a camera installed in the kitchen, it can be analyzed and compared with the food ingredient information stored therein to determine the authenticity. In this way, in the case of the food ordering device 103, where the customer directly processes the order, the order is processed by the touch screen of the kiosk method. It is possible to notify the customer in the form of a pop-up message through the screen.

Even in the case of ordering using the POS terminal device 101 , the operation of the food ordering device 103 is not significantly different. In other words, when the manager of the restaurant receives an order from the customer and processes the order, the food ingredient information on the food material processed by the restaurant is stored in the POS terminal device 101 in advance. to prevent it from happening. Again, suppose that the restaurant serves only first-class Korean beef and supplies 100 servings of ingredients every day. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the authenticity of the ingredient information about the ingredient is input. Determination of authenticity can be made in various forms, and it was previously described that it can be determined based on the analysis of captured images of Korean beef of origin. that has been explained Therefore, if a customer's order is processed on a specific day and ingredients for 100 servings run out, the customer's order will not be processed later unless additional raw materials are secured.

For example, when the manager needs to deliver a customer's order to the kitchen terminal device 105 in the kitchen through the POS terminal device 101, but the order is no longer possible due to depletion of ingredients, the POS terminal device 101 that the manager is looking at ), a notification (eg, pop-up message, voice, etc.) such as an order impossible occurs on the screen, and accordingly, an order is not entered into the kitchen terminal device 105 of the kitchen.

Above all, the food ordering system 90 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system in which an order is made as an electronic document (eg, a tax invoice claim, an order form, a transaction statement, etc.) It is a system in which transaction details of the entire process of business operator → distributor → retailer and supplier are attached. Of course, the food ordering system 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention may operate such a system in the food ingredient management device 130 . For example, when slaughtering cattle, grades such as beef 1+ and grade 1 are determined, and when each part of beef is deboned at the processing plant, the weight of each part and electronic documents for the entire process from production, distribution, and delivery It is possible to block in advance the act of deceiving and selling food of different quality by entering the first grade beef as being in the kitchen by purchasing or receiving the 1+ grade beef from the time of receiving beef delivery or direct purchase.

The kitchen terminal device 105 may be provided with a display device so that information on the customer's order menu is displayed on the screen, for example, in the kitchen, or a small printer may be provided to print in the form of printing paper. When notifying that the cooking for a specific order menu is completed from the inside, for example, when a corresponding menu is touched or a button in an adjacent part is selected, information about the completed food may be displayed on a display device that the customer sees from the outside of the kitchen. As described above, since the kitchen terminal device 105 may have various shapes, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one shape.

In addition, the food ordering system 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a customer places an order, verbally orders to the kitchen, and when the customer requests a POS payment by inputting the item and amount into the POS at the time of payment, the POS usage and payment are fundamentally blocked. It can be operated in the form of a system.

Above all, in ordering food at a restaurant, there may be cases where food is ordered and payment is made later, and there may be cases where payment is made at the same time as ordering food. Therefore, the food ordering system 90 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when ordering food and payment is made later, in this case, the order itself is not made, and when payment is made at the same time as ordering food, payment is made Blocking may prevent the order from being fulfilled.

The communication network 110 includes both wired and wireless communication networks. For example, a wired/wireless Internet network may be used or interlocked as the communication network 110 . Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or a public telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and Wibro networks. meaning to include Of course, the communication network 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be used as an access network of a next-generation mobile communication system, for example, a cloud computing network under a cloud computing environment, a 5G network, and the like. For example, when the communication network 110 is a wired communication network, the access point in the communication network 110 can connect to a switching center of a telephone company, etc., but in the case of a wireless communication network, it connects to a SGSN or GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) operated by a communication company to transmit data. Data can be processed by accessing various repeaters such as a BTS (Base Transceiver Station), NodeB, and e-NodeB.

The communication network 110 may include an access point. Here, the access point includes a small base station, such as a femto or pico base station, which is often installed in a building. Here, the femto or pico base station is classified according to the maximum number of user terminal devices 100, etc. that can be connected to the small base station. Of course, the access point may include a short-distance communication module for performing short-distance communication such as Zigbee and Wi-Fi with the restaurant device 100 . The access point may use TCP/IP or Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) for wireless communication. Here, short-range communication may be performed in various standards such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, infrared, radio frequency (RF) such as ultra high frequency (UHF) and very high frequency (VHF), and ultra-wideband communication (UWB) in addition to Wi-Fi. Accordingly, the access point may extract the location of the data packet, designate the best communication path for the extracted location, and deliver the data packet to the next device, for example, the food ordering service device 120 along the designated communication path. The access point may share several lines in a general network environment, and includes, for example, a router, a repeater, and a repeater.

The food ordering service device 120 may pre-store information on ingredients related to food menus handled by at least one restaurant, and prevent illegal use of ingredients in a specific restaurant based on this information. For example, customers may show trust just by using a service according to an embodiment of the present invention by a particular restaurant. As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is premised that the information registered in the raw material server can be trusted. And the raw material server updates the quantity of the remaining raw materials according to the order quantity for every order. Above all, the food ordering service device 120 secures food menus handled by each restaurant and food ingredients information accordingly and pre-stores them in the DB 120a.

For example, the manager, that is, the store owner or the chef of each restaurant accesses the food ordering service device 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention and goes through an authentication procedure while inputting information on ingredients. Here, authentication may mean an operation of recognizing code information such as a QR code attached to the outside, or by photographing the corresponding food material through a smartphone, etc. and transmitting the photographed image to the food ordering service device 120 and You can also go through the authentication process. Reliability of ingredient information can be secured by this procedure, but in order to prevent the ingredient from being used illegally in the kitchen, the ingredients to be used before cooking are re-certified, or parts related to ingredients being cooked in the kitchen are photographed. Monitoring may be performed automatically by the captured image of the camera. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to perform authentication and monitoring for all ingredients, but it may be possible to restrict the authentication and monitoring to be selectively performed only for ingredients of a specific food. Since this may vary according to the intention of the system designer, the embodiment of the present invention will not be limited to any one form.

The food ordering service device 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be interlocked with the food ingredient management device 130 provided separately. Of course, when the food ordering service device 120 is configured to be integrated with the food ingredient management device 130, the dualized operation can be unified and executed. However, in the case of dualization, since the burden of data arithmetic processing is reduced, smooth processing of data is possible, and therefore, a description will be made on the assumption of a dualized form. Ingredients information can be registered and managed for each individual restaurant, and in the franchise type, a raw material server can be installed at the headquarters to manage franchisees. Therefore, when the system according to the embodiment of the present invention is introduced into a restaurant, the restaurant cannot sell the raw material by cheating, and instead, it is possible to obtain trust in the ingredient from the consumer.

For example, the food ordering service device 120 may operate as a server for managing raw materials of food separately provided in the general ordering process described above, and provide food and When the quantity is input, the order terminal may query the raw material server for ingredients to make the ordered food, and if the raw materials are insufficient, a message may be output to the order inputter stating that the order cannot be placed due to insufficient raw materials. For example, if you order 4 servings of first-class beef at a beef house, an order terminal such as the food ordering device 103 checks whether there are 4 servings of beef left in the raw material server, and prevents order entry if there are not 4 servings. Block at the source or inform that cooking is not possible.

As described above, the food ordering service device 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention prevents the food order from being started from the beginning when the raw materials of the ordered food run out in the food ordering step. As a result, restaurants will not be able to sell raw materials by cheating, thereby earning unlimited trust in the ingredients from consumers.

The food ingredient management device 130 manages ingredients or raw material information according to the food menu for each restaurant, and when the order information of a specific restaurant is input in the food ordering service device 120, it is possible to cook a specific food based on this. It can be seen that you can inquire about the ingredients. For example, assuming that there are ingredients corresponding to 100 servings of first-class Korean beef at a specific restaurant, in response to the request of the food ordering service device 120, the food ingredient management device 130 provides information on whether cooking is possible. can

In addition, the food ingredient management device 130 may perform procedures such as authentication when initially registering and updating information related to ingredients in each restaurant. In other words, the food ingredient management device 130 may set prior information on ingredients for each country of origin, for example, based on a food menu handled by a restaurant subscribing to the service. For example, assuming that it is Hongcheon Korean beef, data on the origin of Hongcheon Korean beef is secured and constructed. Captured images are obtained from local producers of ingredients of origin and analyzed, and data related to feature points are obtained and stored as the result of image analysis that can show the characteristics of Hongcheon Korean beef. Therefore, when requesting authentication while registering food material information at a restaurant handling Korean beef of the corresponding origin based on this, the authentication procedure can be performed by recognizing code information or photographing the relevant food material through a smartphone.

In this way, the food ingredient management device 130 performs only the verification procedure for the ingredients of the food handled by each restaurant, and through this, builds data trusted by the customer, and orders information for a specific restaurant in the food ordering service device 120 . When is provided, it is determined whether cooking is possible based on this, and the result can be directly provided to the restaurant device 100 or provided to the food ordering service device 120 .

Although fully described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the restaurant apparatus 100 operates in a stand-alone form in a restaurant to perform the above-mentioned operations, as well as the food ordering service apparatus 120 and the food ingredient management apparatus ( When the 130) is integrated, the operation of the food ingredient management device 130 in the food ordering service device 120 may be additionally performed. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to separately build and operate the food ingredient management device 130 in order to reduce the data calculation processing burden in the food ordering service device 120, and the food ordering service device 120 is If it is operated in the form of a server, integrated management of many restaurants across the country may be possible, and in the case of a franchise, management can be made easily. Since the food ordering service device 120 can process big data, it is possible to flexibly respond to customer needs by analyzing and processing the characteristics of restaurants or customers using an artificial intelligence (AI) program. For example, when analyzing a customer's food preference through deep learning of an artificial intelligence program, etc., the customer's analysis result can be provided to a specific restaurant to help the restaurant's operation.

For example, the food ordering service device 120 may recommend securing a small amount of ingredients based on a result of big data analysis when it is determined that too many specific ingredients are secured at a specific restaurant. This may be possible by analyzing customer preference patterns based on food order information at nearby restaurants. As such, in the case of a restaurant in the case of a new restaurant establishment, it can be helped to stably settle in the market by continuously monitoring and providing guidance based on the big data analysis results of existing restaurants. In this regard, it is preferable that the integrated management is made in the food order service device 120 of FIG.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of the food ordering service apparatus of FIG. 1 .

As shown in FIG. 2 , the food order service device 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication interface 200 , a control unit 210 , a food order processing unit 220 and a part of the storage unit 230 , or includes all

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the storage unit 230 are omitted, or some components such as the food order processing unit 220 are added to other components such as the control unit 210. As meanings that can be integrated and configured, it will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The communication interface unit 200 may communicate with the restaurant devices 100 provided in the restaurant. The communication interface unit 200 may perform operations such as modulation/demodulation, muxing/demuxing, encoding/decoding, and scaling of resolution conversion in the process of performing communication, which is obvious to those skilled in the art, so further description will be omitted. do.

In addition, the communication interface unit 200 receives the order information when there is an order for food from the POS terminal device 101 or the food ordering device 103 in the restaurant and transmits the order information to the controller 210 . Also, at the request of the controller 210 , information related to whether cooking is possible according to the order information may be transmitted back to the POS terminal device 101 or the food ordering device 103 . For example, if food can be cooked, data is normally processed, that is, an order can be placed and delivered to the kitchen terminal device 105, etc., but if cooking is not possible based on the ingredient information, a pop-up message You can inform that cooking is impossible in the form of .

The control unit 210 is in charge of overall control operations of the communication interface unit 200 , the food order processing unit 220 , and the storage unit 230 of FIG. 2 . When the order information is received from the restaurant, the control unit 210 provides it to the food order processing unit 220, and in response to the request of the food order processing unit 220, a query request may be made to the food ingredient management device 130 of FIG. 1 . . In other words, it can be viewed as a query to see if the current order can be processed with the ingredients of the restaurant. To this end, the control unit 210 may control the communication interface unit 200 to perform communication with the food ingredient management device 130 .

In addition, the control unit 210 may perform various operations in conjunction with the food order processing unit 220 to perform an operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, the control unit 210 may interwork with the food order processing unit 220 to replace the role of the food ingredient management device 130 . For example, since food ingredient information of each restaurant is systematically classified and stored in the DB 120a, it is possible to search the DB 120a to determine whether cooking is possible. Of course, the control unit 210 may operate according to the request of the food order processing unit 220 for this purpose.

The food order processing unit 220 not only processes food orders for each restaurant, but also when food and quantity are input to the order terminal, the order terminal can make the food ordered by the raw material server, for example, the food ingredient management device 130 . It is possible to generate and output data in a specified format so as to inquire whether there is a material and, if the raw material is insufficient, to provide a message to the order inputter stating that the order cannot be placed due to insufficient raw material.

Above all, when the food order processing unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention operates to generate food ingredient information for each restaurant, the data building operation and the operation for processing the order may be simultaneously performed. The data building operation may perform an authentication procedure when food ingredient information is registered for each restaurant, and periodically monitor ingredients cooked in the kitchen for verification. To this end, an image analysis operation may be performed.

The storage unit 230 may store data processed under the control of the control unit 210 and output the stored data. For example, when there is an order from the food ordering device 103 of a restaurant, the storage unit 230 may store data on the order information together with the identification information of the corresponding food ordering device 103 . And, such data may be called out under the control of the control unit 210 and provided to the food order processing unit 220 .

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 210 may include a CPU and a memory, and may be formed as a single chip. The CPU includes a control circuit, an arithmetic unit (ALU), an instruction interpreter and a registry, and the memory may include a RAM. The control circuit performs a control operation, the operation unit performs an operation operation of binary bit information, and the instruction interpretation unit converts a high-level language into a machine language and a machine language into a high-level language, including an interpreter or a compiler. , the registry may be involved in software data storage. According to the above configuration, for example, at the beginning of the operation of the food order service device 120 of FIG. 1, the program stored in the food order processing unit 220 is copied, loaded into a memory, that is, a RAM, and then executed by executing the data operation. The processing speed can be increased quickly.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an order processing process of the system shown in FIG. 1 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the food ingredient management device 130 may, of course, be the food ordering service device 120 , but stores (food) ingredient information for each restaurant, and periodically updates the stored information. (S300).

When the data construction for each restaurant is completed, the restaurant device 100 may receive the customer's food order information (S310). Typically, an order for food may be made in the POS terminal device 101 of FIG. 1 or the food ordering device 103 in the form of a kiosk.

In addition, the restaurant apparatus 100 transmits the customer's order information to the food order service apparatus 120 (S320). The order information may include food menu information and quantity information, and such order information may be transmitted together with identification information (eg, device ID) of the restaurant device 100 . Therefore, it is possible to recognize the food order at which restaurant through the corresponding identification information by comparing it with pre-stored information.

When the customer's order information is received, the food ordering service device 120 may inquire the food ingredient information to see if cooking is possible according to the customer's order information at the corresponding restaurant with the food ingredient management device 130 (S330). Here, inquiring may mean an operation of searching for and extracting food material information, and may be understood only as an operation of receiving notification of a result.

Accordingly, the food ordering service device 120 may determine whether it is possible to cook the customer's order based on the inquired ingredient information (S340). Of course, when it is determined that cooking is impossible as a result of the determination, a message for notifying the restaurant apparatus 100 may be generated. In addition, when cooking is possible, the order of the restaurant device 100 may be processed or the order may be transferred to the kitchen terminal device 105 of FIG. 1 in the process thereof.

In this way, the food ordering service device 120 determines whether cooking is possible and, when cooking is impossible, transmits the generated message to the restaurant device 100 to notify the order result (S350).
