  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the information communication terminal device 1. The information communication terminal device 1 is a mobile communication terminal, a tablet terminal, a dedicated display device terminal, a personal computer (PC), a television, or the like. What is necessary is just a terminal which has a display and can display a cooking recipe besides what was mentioned here. The information communication terminal device 1 includes a microcomputer 10, a storage unit 12, an input / output unit 14, a display unit 16, and a user input unit 18. The microcomputer 10 controls the entire operation of the information communication terminal device 1. The storage unit 12 is, for example, a hard disk device, a semiconductor memory device, an optical disk device, or the like. The storage unit 12 stores a computer program related to the operation of the information communication terminal device 1, and the microcomputer 10 operates based on the computer program read from the storage unit 12 and executes various processes. The storage unit 12 stores a plurality of cooking recipe information provided from the server 2, and the microcomputer 10 displays the plurality of cooking recipe information on the display unit 16. The display unit 16 is a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like, for example, and displays various information and presents it to the user 4.

The user 4 can perform cooking efficiently at a high tempo by cooking along the recipe information displayed on the display unit 16 indicating the preparation of cooking.

  Hereinafter, these various processes will be described in more detail. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an overview of a content creation flow according to the embodiment.

  For example, the dinner menu for one week and the cooking process of about 20 recipes are classified into a preparation group and a finishing group. A cooking schedule capable of efficiently cooking a plurality of cooking recipes simultaneously is generated for each group of the classified cooking processes, and provided to the user 4 as a “one-week cooking setup guide”. As a result, the user 4 performs the cooking processes classified into the preparatory group together on a holiday for the dinner menu for one week, and the cooking processes classified into the finishing group are performed before dinner on weekdays. By doing so, cooking time on weekdays can be greatly reduced. As a result, it is not necessary to take time to cook in a tired situation after returning from work on weekdays, and one item that gives priority to shortening the cooking time while being tired and having little room for cooking. It is possible to prevent only meals with an unbalanced nutritional balance, such as eating only meals. In addition, in order to create a cooking schedule that allows the cooking processes related to a plurality of cooking recipes to proceed simultaneously for each group of the cooking processes classified, the cooking time is more than when the cooking processes related to the plurality of cooking recipes are executed alone. Can be shortened. The creation of the cooking schedule will be described later.

  In addition, the same cooking schedule may be produced | generated regarding the menu of breakfast for one week, and a cooking schedule may be produced | generated about the menu for two weeks. Moreover, you may generate | occur | produce the cooking schedule of a period shorter than one week, such as 3 days.

  The overall flow of content creation until the cooking schedule is provided to the user 4 is as shown in FIG.

  For example, first, the user 4 operates the information communication terminal device 1 to select about 20 recipes that are dinner recipes for 5 days on weekdays (step S10).

  The microcomputer 20 of the server 2 classifies these about 20 recipes into two groups of preparation and finishing for each cooking process (step S11). Next, a cooking schedule for efficiently cooking for each group is created using a mountain climbing method that is an optimization method (steps S12 and S13). Next, information on the cooking setup guide for one week is automatically output from the optimized cooking schedule based on a unique standard (steps S14, S15, S16, S17). The microcomputer 10 of the information communication terminal device 1 displays on the display unit 16 the information of the received cooking preparation guide for one week. The user 4 can cook efficiently according to the tempo by cooking along the information of the setup guide displayed on the display unit 16.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a cooking process classification process flow according to the embodiment. These processes are executed by the microcomputer 20 of the server 2. Each of the cooking recipes 31, 32, and 33 that are intended to be cooked in parallel, includes information on ingredients necessary for cooking (meat, fish, vegetables, etc.) and cooking processes (cut, fry, boil, serve, etc.). Cooking process information to be shown. At this time, each of the cooking process information is given a process number indicating in which order cooking should proceed.

  Based on the ingredients information and cooking process information included in each cooking recipe 31, 32, 33, the cooking process is classified into two groups of preparation and finishing. As a cooking process classification standard, a tag indicating preparation or finishing may be assigned to each cooking process information, and classification may be performed based on this tag. In addition, cooking process type information indicating the type of cooking process, such as cutting, mixing, baking, frying, frying, boiling, and serving, is added to the cooking process information, and preparation or finishing is performed for each cooking process type information. Classification may be performed with reference to a table of which group to be classified. For example, cooking processes that have been provided with cooking process type information such as cutting ingredients or boiled food are classified into a group of preparations, and cooking process type information such as baking, frying, frying, mixing, and serving is provided. The cooking process is divided into finishing groups.

  As will be described later, as a more advanced classification, when one cooking process in one cooking recipe is classified as preparation or finishing, there is any type of cooking process after the one cooking process. You may classify based on whether or not.

  For example, regarding a cooking process of “cutting” “vegetable”, if it is a cooking process of “cutting” “vegetable” in a cooking recipe related to salad, This means that the vegetables will be cut and stored on holidays, etc., and the freshness of the vegetables that are actually cut to the table can be reduced. Also, if the cooking process of “cutting” “vegetables” is, for example, the cooking process of “cutting” “vegetables” in a cooking recipe related to vegetable soup, Since cooking processes such as “boiling” and “seasoning” “vegetables” after the cooking process of “cutting” are prepared, it takes time to finish cooking the vegetable soup from the beginning. In order to prevent such a situation, the cooking process is classified into a preparation group or a finishing group depending on what type of cooking process is present after the cooking process to be classified. For example, when there is only a cooking process of “putting” “vegetable” after a cooking process of “cutting” “vegetable”, the cooking process of “cutting” “vegetable” is classified into a finishing group. On the other hand, if there is a cooking process such as “simmering”, “stirring”, “baking”, or “pickling” after “cooking” “vegetable”, “cut” “vegetable” The cooking process is classified into a group of preparations.

  Each cooking process is classified into preparation and finishing, and a preparation group 34 and a finishing group 35 are generated.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a cooking process classification process flow according to the embodiment. These processes are executed by the microcomputer 20 of the server 2.

  For example, when the user 4 selects a plurality of cooking recipes in the information communication terminal device 1, the server 2 receives information on the plurality of cooking recipes selected by the user 4. The microcomputer 20 classifies all of the cooking processes included in the cooking recipe into a preparation group or a finishing group for each of the plurality of received cooking recipes. As the classification standard, for example, classification is performed using the standard as described above. In all the selected cooking recipes, when the cooking process is classified, a cooking schedule is generated for each classified cooking process.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the microcomputer 20 selects the cooking recipe in which the classification process of a cooking process is not completed among the selected cooking recipes (step S21). Next, in the cooking process in the cooking recipe, a cooking process that is not subjected to the classification process is selected (step S22), and it is determined whether or not it is a cooking process corresponding to the preparation (step S23). If it falls under preparation, the cooking process is classified as “preparation for holidays” (step S24), and if it does not fall under preparation (when it corresponds to finishing), the cooking process is classified as “finishing on weekdays” (step S25). This process is repeated until the classification process is performed on all cooking processes (step S26). If the classification process has been performed for all the cooking processes, it is determined whether the cooking process classification process has been performed for all of the cooking recipes selected by the user 4 (step S27). If the cooking process classification process has not been performed for all the selected cooking recipes, the process returns to the process of step S21, the cooking recipe for which the cooking process classification process has not been completed is selected, and the above classification process is repeated. When the cooking process classification process is completed for all the selected cooking recipes, the cooking process classification process is terminated.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the cooking process classification process according to the embodiment. Here, a state of classifying a part of the cooking process when cooking “minestrone” is shown. The preparation and finishing classification are performed based on the ingredients to be classified, the cooking process, and the post-process existing after the cooking process to be classified.

  For example, the cooking process of “washing” “vegetables” is classified into preparation, regardless of the subsequent process. The cooking process of “cutting” “vegetables” is classified as “preparation” if the subsequent steps are “simmering”, “stirring”, “baking”, and “dipping” “vegetables”. The cooking process of “cutting” “vegetables” is classified into finishing if the subsequent process is “pick up” “vegetables”. This is because the finished raw vegetable cut is preferably performed on weekdays in terms of hygiene and freshness. If “vegetable” is “boiled” cooking process, if “vegetable” is “boiled”, “sautéed”, “baked”, or “pickled”, the cooking process is regarded as “boiled” and classified as preparation. . The cooking process of “simmering” “vegetables” is classified into finishing if the subsequent process is “pick up (pick up in a bowl)” of “vegetables”.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the cooking process classification process according to the embodiment. Here, a state of classifying a part of the cooking process when cooking “hamburger” is shown.

  The cooking process of “washing” “vegetables” is classified as “preparation”. The cooking process of “cutting” “vegetables” is classified as finishing if the subsequent process “picks up” “vegetables”. The cooking process of “cutting” “vegetables” is classified as “preparation” if the subsequent process is “simmering”, “stir-frying”, “baking”, or “pickling” “vegetables”. The cooking process of “sautéing” “vegetables” is classified as “preparation” if there is “meat” and “kneading” in the subsequent process. The cooking process of “mixing” “vegetable (onion)” and “meat (minced)” is classified as “preparation” if there is “molding” in the subsequent process. Here, a mixture of onion and mince is referred to as “undercooked meat”. The cooking process of “forming” “undercooked meat” is classified as “preparation” if there is “baking” in the subsequent process.

  In this way, the cooking process classification process may be executed based on the contents of the subsequent process performed after the cooking process to be classified.

9-11 is a figure which shows the classification | category reference | standard table in the cooking process classification | category process which concerns on embodiment. FIG. 9 shows a vegetable classification standard table. The definition of the process is as follows, for example.
・ Cooking category: Wash, cut, boil, bake, fry, pickle, mold, serve, boil and boil. : It means to soak in hot water.
・ Bake and fry are the same. : It means heating using a frying pan.
・ Molding usually refers to rounding meat or fish or putting clothes on the fly.

FIG. 10 shows a fish classification reference table. The definition of the process is as follows, for example.
・ Cooking category: Wash, prepare, cut, boil, bake, fry, pickle, mold ・ Process is used to process fish and parts that cannot be eaten (such as prawns) Means.

FIG. 11 shows a meat classification reference table. The definition of the process is as follows, for example.
・ Cooking category: Wash, prepare, cut, boil, bake, fry, immerse, mold ・ Pretreatment means that the meat is squeezed or sake is added so as not to smell.

  In the specific example described above, for example, the group is classified into a preparation group or a finishing group with reference to a classification standard such as the table shown in FIGS. In the table shown here, combinations of ingredients, target processes, and subsequent processes classified as preliminary preparation are managed, but combinations classified as finishing may be managed, or both of them may be managed. May be.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a cooking schedule generation process flow according to the embodiment. These processes are executed by the microcomputer 20 of the server 2. The cooking order of recipes is determined based on the process type tag assigned to each cooking process of each recipe. In this example, a cooking schedule for efficient cooking is created using a hill-climbing method that is a local search method. In the hill-climbing method, a neighborhood solution near the current solution is generated, and if the neighborhood solution is more suitable than the current solution, the current solution is replaced with the neighborhood solution. These processes are repeated, and the process ends when an optimal solution (extreme value) is found.

The following conditions (a) and (b) are first considered when determining the cooking order.
(A) In order to facilitate simultaneous and parallel cooking, a process using a stove and a range is set first.
(B) In order to consider hygiene, the recipe with a process of cutting meat and fish is set last.

  For parts where the order is not uniquely determined by the above conditions (a) and (b) (for example, there are a plurality of recipes for cutting meat or fish), the cooking order of the recipe is determined using a random number, and “current solution” (Step S31). At this time, the cooking order of the recipe is determined based on the “process classification” tag given to each cooking process of each recipe, and is set as “current solution”.

  Next, the neighboring recipes are switched so as not to deviate from the above conditions (a) and (b), and several neighborhood solutions are generated (step S32). For example, the neighboring solutions are generated by exchanging the adjacent steps.

For all recipe cooking orders defined in the current solution and several neighboring solutions, a schedule is generated based on the following schedule generation logic, and cooking time is calculated for each solution. For example, the cooking time is calculated by generating a schedule so that cooking is performed simultaneously in the stove, range, and manual work, such as cooking pumpkin while cutting carrots. It repeats until the cooking time of the current solution becomes the shortest (until it converges) (steps S33, S34). Here, based on the “process classification” tag, processes that can be cooked in parallel are recognized, and an optimal schedule is created for both the current solution and the neighborhood solution. If the “neighboring solution” has a shorter cooking time than the “current solution”, the “neighboring solution” is replaced with the “current solution”, and the process returns to step S32. If there is no “neighboring solution” that has a shorter cooking time than “current solution”, “current solution” is adopted as the optimum cooking schedule (step S35).
(Schedule generation logic)
(1) Sort cooking processes in ascending order of recipe order No and cooking process No.
(2) For each cooking step, the cooking start time and cooking completion time are set with reference to the cooking time given in advance.
(3) If the corresponding process and the previous process are the same recipe, the cooking start time of the corresponding cooking process is set to the previous process completion time + 1 minute.
(4) When the cooking utensil handled at the cooking start time to the cooking completion time of the corresponding cooking process is occupied, the latest time width when the cooking utensil is not occupied (the cooking start time to the completion time of the corresponding cooking process) is Search and set the time as the cooking start time.
(5) Repeat (2) to (4) above until there is no cooking step.
(6) Repeat (1) to (5) above for the number of solutions.

  In this example, there are four types of cooking utensils: “range”, “manual work”, “stove”, and “lay down”. Moreover, 1 range, 2 stoves, and 1 cook are assumed. In other words, it is assumed that only “cob” can be used in parallel up to two recipes. In the case of using a stove and a process in which hands cannot be released, such as a frying process, the stove and the manual work are occupied. In the case of “laying down” work, the check in (4) is not performed.

  The microcomputer 20 of the server 2 transmits the optimum cooking schedule obtained by the above process to the information communication terminal device 1. The microcomputer 10 of the information communication terminal device 1 displays the received optimum cooking schedule (optimum cooking setup) on the display unit 16. The user 4 can cook efficiently according to the tempo without thinking, by cooking along the cooking schedule displayed on the display unit 16.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a cooking schedule displayed on the display unit 16 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 13, balloons are given, but these are given only for convenience of explanation, and thus may not be included in the display screen provided to the user 4. Image information to be presented to the user 4 is generated based on the created cooking schedule. Examples of image information generation conditions are shown below.
-The bar in the center of the screen is the time axis, and displays recipes for cooking in parallel on the left and right.
By displaying necessary ingredients and seasonings in the upper row for each recipe, it is possible to complete and cook a plurality of recipes (four in FIG. 13) within one page.
・ Procedures are numbered to allow the cook to cook in parallel without thinking.
-The completed image is displayed on the right side of the completion process so that you can cook while checking the image of the completed recipe.
-The background of the cooking process is changed by the cooking utensil so that it can be visually confirmed which cooking utensil is handled.

  Thus, the user 4 can cook efficiently according to the cooking schedule displayed on the display unit 16 without thinking about it.

  An example of the cooking schedule shown in FIG. 13 is a cooking schedule related to preparation for cooking, and a cooking schedule related to finishing of cooking is separately created. We explained that multiple cooking processes are classified into “preparation” and “finishing” based on their types, but only a cooking process classified as “preparation” is used to create a cooking schedule. The cooking schedule is created using only the cooking processes classified as “finishing”. Creating cooking schedules related to preparation for cooking and cooking schedules related to finishing of cooking by classifying cooking processes into “preparation” and “finishing” using the above-described cooking process classification method, respectively. Becomes easy. In addition, the information indicating the cooking recipe includes the type of the cooking process, the process classification tag, etc. for each cooking process, as described above, “the recipe with the process of cutting meat and fish is set last”, It is easy to apply a rule for schedule generation such as “to set the process using a stove and range first to facilitate simultaneous parallel cooking”.
