First Embodiment
<1. Overall configuration of recipe management system>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the recipe management system 1 of the first embodiment. The recipe management system 1 includes, for example, one or more cooking appliances 100, a server 200, and a terminal device 300. Note that one or more of the cooking appliances 100, the server 200, and the terminal device 300 may be provided as external components of the recipe management system 1. For example, an example of the recipe management system 1 may be configured by only the server 200. The network NW described later may be, for example, the Internet, a cellular network, a Wi-Fi network, a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Local Area Network (LAN), or other public lines or dedicated lines, depending on the situation.

The cooking appliance 100 is one of the home appliances and is placed in the residence of the user U. The cooking appliance 100 is, for example, a microwave oven, a convection range, or a toaster. The cooking appliance 100 is connected to the network NW via a wireless router WR and a modem M installed in the residence of the user U. The cooking appliance 100 can communicate with the server 200 or the terminal device 300 via the network NW.

For ease of explanation, the following describes an example in which a first oven range 100A and a second oven range 100B are arranged as cooking appliances 100. The first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B are cooking appliances of the same type but different models (types). The first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B have different heating performance due to the size of the internal space, the size and type of the heating device, or other reasons. For this reason, recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A and recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B are managed separately.

The first oven range 100A is an example of a "first cooking device." The second oven range 100B is an example of a "second cooking device." For ease of explanation, when there is no need to distinguish between the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B, they will simply be referred to as "oven range 100." Note that in the following explanation, "oven range 100" can be appropriately read as "cooking device 100."

The server 200 is a management server that manages the cooking appliance 100. The server 200 is composed of one or more server devices (e.g., cloud servers). The server 200 may be referred to as a "server system." The server 200 is capable of communicating with the cooking appliance 100 or the terminal device 300 via the network NW. The server 200 may include an information processing unit that performs edge computing or fog computing, such as an information processing unit included in a router in the network NW. The server 200 is not limited to a cloud server, and may be a computer in the residence of the user U, or a home router (e.g., a wireless router WR), etc.

The terminal device 300 is a terminal device used by a user U of the cooking appliance 100. The terminal device 300 is, for example, a mobile terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal device. However, the terminal device 300 is not limited to a mobile terminal device and may be a personal computer or the like. The terminal device 300 has a display device 301 including a display screen 301a capable of displaying various information, and an input device 302 capable of receiving input from the user U. The input device 302 is, for example, a touch panel provided on top of the display screen 301a of the display device 301. The input device 302 may include a camera, a microphone, and the like provided in the terminal device 300.

An application program P is installed on the terminal device 300, and the functions described below are supported. The application program P is an application program for managing the cooking appliance 100. The application program P is used, for example, to remotely control the cooking appliance 100 and to use services related to the cooking appliance 100. Hereinafter, the application software that is started by executing the application program P is referred to as the "home appliance management app APP."

＜2. Oven Range＞
First, the microwave oven 100 will be described in detail.
2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the convection microwave oven 100. The convection microwave oven 100 has, for example, a heating device 110, a communication unit 120, and a control unit 130.

The heating device 110 includes, for example, a heater and a power supply unit that supplies power to the heater. The communication unit 120 is, for example, a wireless communication module, and is capable of communicating with the network NW via a wireless router WR and a modem M. The control unit 130 receives control commands for the oven range 100 from the server 200 via the communication unit 120. The control commands received from the server 200 include information indicating the amount of control related to heating (e.g., heating for 5 minutes at 500 W). The control unit 130 is capable of controlling the heating device 110 based on the control commands received from the server 200.

<3. Server>
3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 200. The server 200 includes, for example, a device registration unit 210, a recipe registration unit (recipe management unit) 220, a favorites registration unit 230, a recipe providing unit 240, and a storage unit 280.

The device registration unit 210, recipe registration unit 220, favorite registration unit 230, and recipe provision unit 240 are realized by one or more hardware processors, such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) mounted on the server 200, executing a program. However, some or all of these functional units may be realized by hardware such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or may be realized by a combination of software and hardware. In addition, these functional units may be provided separately in multiple server devices. In addition, one or more of these functional units may be provided in the terminal device 300 or the oven range 100 instead of the server 200.

<3.1 Device Registration Unit>
The device registration unit 210 performs device registration of the microwave oven 100 in response to a request from the terminal device 300 (i.e., an application from the user U). Device registration means associating a specific user U with the microwave oven 100 that the user U can use. Device registration is performed, for example, by registering a correspondence between user information (e.g., a user ID) that can identify the user U and device information (e.g., a device ID) that can identify an individual microwave oven 100. In this embodiment, the above correspondence is registered in a device registration DB 281 stored in the storage unit 280. The device ID is, for example, a serial number of the microwave oven 100. Note that device registration may be performed by associating a specific terminal device 300 used by the user U with a specific microwave oven 100 instead of associating a specific user U with a specific microwave oven 100.

The device registration unit 210 accepts device registration of multiple oven ranges 100 that can be used by the user U. Furthermore, in response to a request from the terminal device 300 (i.e., an application from the user U), the device registration unit 210 accepts registration of an oven range 100S (hereinafter referred to as a "specific oven range 100S") that is primarily used by the user U among the multiple registered oven ranges 100. The specific oven range 100S is registered, for example, by registering in the device registration DB 281 a correspondence between user information (e.g., a user ID) that can identify the user U and device information (e.g., a device ID) that can identify an individual specific oven range 100S. In this embodiment, only one specific oven range 100S is registered. When only one oven range 100 is registered, the device registration unit 210 registers the oven range 100 as a specific oven range 100S without the operation of the user U.

Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the device registration DB 281. In the device registration DB 281, for example, a user ID, a device ID, the model of the oven range 100, and information indicating whether or not it is a specific oven range 100S are registered in association with each other.

When the device registration unit 210 has performed device registration of the oven range 100, it transmits information indicating the registered oven range 100 to the terminal device 300. Furthermore, when the device registration unit 210 has performed registration or modification of a specific oven range 100S, it transmits information indicating the registered or modified specific oven range 100S to the terminal device 300. Information indicating the registered oven range 100 and the specific oven range 100S is stored in the memory unit 380 of the terminal device 300 as device registration information 381 described below.

<3.2 Recipe registration section>
The recipe registration unit 220 accepts the registration of recipes. For example, the recipe registration unit 220 accepts the registration of recipes in response to a request from an external terminal device (not shown) (an application from an operator (not shown)). The registration of a recipe is performed by registering the recipe in a recipe DB 282 stored in the storage unit 280. Each recipe includes, for example, a title of a dish, a thumbnail image, recipe contents (ingredients, amounts, preparation method, etc. of the dish), and information indicating the heating settings of the microwave oven 100. The "heating settings" include, for example, the output wattage and heating time of the microwave oven 100 (e.g., heating for 5 minutes at 500 W). Hereinafter, the information indicating the heating settings will be referred to as "heating information."

In this embodiment, the recipes are managed separately for each corresponding oven range 100. That is, the recipe DB 282 includes a first recipe DB 282a, a second recipe DB 282b, a third recipe DB 282c, .... The first recipe DB 282a registers a plurality of recipes corresponding to the oven range 100 of the first group (the first type or the oven range 100 with the same heating setting as the first type). The second recipe DB 282b registers a plurality of recipes corresponding to the oven range 100 of the second group (the second type or the oven range 100 with the same heating setting as the second type). The third recipe DB 282c registers a plurality of recipes corresponding to the oven range 100 of the third group (the third type or the oven range 100 with the same heating setting as the third type). The first type, the second type, and the third type have different heating performances due to the size of the internal space, the size and type of the heating device, or other reasons. The first microwave oven 100A described above is, for example, a microwave oven included in the first group. The second microwave oven 100B described above is, for example, a microwave oven included in the second group.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of recipe DB282. In recipe DB282, for example, management ID, dish title, thumbnail image, recipe content, and heating information of the oven range 100 are registered in association with each other.

<3.3 Favorites Registration>
The favorite registration unit 230 accepts registration as a favorite recipe one or more recipes selected by the user U from among the multiple recipes registered in the recipe DB 282. For example, the favorite registration unit 230 accepts registration of a favorite recipe in response to a request from the terminal device 300 (an application from the user U). The favorite recipe is registered, for example, by registering the management ID of the recipe to be registered as a favorite recipe in the favorite recipe DB 283 stored in the storage unit 280.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the favorite recipe DB 283. In the favorite recipe DB 283, for example, the management ID of the recipe to be registered as a favorite recipe is registered. In the favorite recipe DB 283, recipes included in the first recipe DB 282a, the second recipe DB 282b, the third recipe DB 282c, etc. are registered without distinction. In other words, favorite recipes are managed in a unified manner for multiple oven ranges 100 of different models.

<3.4 Recipe provision section>
The recipe providing unit 240 provides a recipe service. The recipe service is, for example, a service related to the provision of recipes. The recipe providing unit 240 provides recipes based on a recipe DB 282 stored in the storage unit 280.

In this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 provides a viewing function for viewing recipes registered in the recipe DB 282. For example, the recipe providing unit 240 identifies a recipe to be viewed that is included in the recipe DB 282 based on an operation of the user U on the terminal device 300, and transmits information indicating the identified recipe to the terminal device 300.

In addition, in this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 provides a transmission function that transmits heating information to the oven range 100 for which device registration has been performed. For example, the recipe providing unit 240 acquires heating information for the oven range 100 that is included in a selected recipe. Then, the recipe providing unit 240 transmits the heating information that is included in the selected recipe to the oven range 100. This function will be described in detail later.

<3.5 Storage section>
The storage unit 280 is realized by a combination of a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), a solid state drive (SSD), etc. The storage unit 280 stores a device registration DB 281, a recipe DB 282, and a favorite recipe DB 283.

The registration reception unit 310, the display control unit 320, and the operation reception unit 330 are realized by one or more hardware processors, such as a CPU, mounted on the terminal device 300 executing the application program P. In other words, the registration reception unit 310, the display control unit 320, and the operation reception unit 330 are software functional units included in the home appliance management application APP.

4.1 Registration Reception Section
The registration acceptance unit 310 accepts an application for device registration of the microwave oven 100, an application for registration or change of a specific microwave oven 100S, an application for registration of a favorite recipe, etc., based on an operation by the user U on the operation acceptance unit 330 described later. In this application, "accepting an application for registration" or "accepting registration" is not limited to a case where the registration process is completed by the terminal device 300, but may also include a case where an operation by the user U to instruct device registration (i.e., an application for registration) is accepted by the terminal device 300 and the actual registration process is performed by the server 200.

4.2 Display control unit
The display control unit 320 controls the display device 301 of the terminal device 300, thereby controlling the content displayed on the display screen 301a of the display device 301. For example, the display control unit 320 controls the display of the display screen 301a based on information received from the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200. For example, the display device 301 controlled by the display control unit 320 is an example of a "display unit." The display control unit 320 will be described in detail later.

4.3 Operation Reception Unit
The operation accepting unit 330 accepts an operation by the user U performed on the input device 302 in relation to the home appliance management application APP. For example, the operation accepting unit 330 accepts an operation by the user U on an operation unit (e.g., a virtual button displayed on the display screen 301a) displayed on the display screen 301a. The operation accepting unit 330 transmits a signal corresponding to the operation unit operated by the user U to the server 200. As a result, the server 200 performs a process corresponding to the operation unit operated by the user U.

<4.4 Storage section>
The storage unit 380 is realized by a combination of RAM, ROM, EEPROM, SSD, etc. The storage unit 380 stores an application program P and device registration information 381. In the device registration information 381, a list of the microwave ovens 100 for which device registration has been performed in association with the user U is registered. In addition, in the device registration information 381, the latest specific microwave oven 100S is registered.

Unless otherwise specified, the display described below is displayed on the display screen 301a of the terminal device 300 by the processing of the display control unit 320 based on information transmitted from the recipe providing unit 240 to the terminal device 300. For example, information indicating a list of recipes or details of a recipe is transmitted from the recipe providing unit 240 to the terminal device 300 and displayed on the display screen 301a by the processing of the display control unit 320. In this application, such a case is also referred to as "displayed by the recipe providing unit." Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, operations on each operation unit described below are received by the operation receiving unit 330 of the terminal device 300.

(Home page of home appliance management app)
8 is a diagram showing an example of a top screen (home screen) D1 of the home appliance management application APP. The top screen D1 includes, for example, a first function area R11 and a second function area R12.

The first functional area R11 is a functional area corresponding to "Home Appliance Control (Home Appliance Operation)". When the oven range 100 is registered, an operation section B1 for operating the oven range 100 is displayed in the first functional area R11. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B are registered, and as a result, an operation section B1a for operating the first oven range 100A and an operation section B1b for operating the second oven range 100B are displayed as multiple operation sections B1. An operation screen (setting screen) (not shown) which transitions by operating the operation section B1 can accept an operation by a user U to change the specific oven range 100S between the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B.

The second functional area R12 is a functional area corresponding to services related to the oven range 100 (hereinafter referred to as "home appliance related services"). The second functional area R12 includes one or more operation units B2 for using the home appliance related services. FIG. 8 shows an example in which operation unit B2a for using a "food management service" and operation unit B2b for using a "recipe service" are displayed as multiple operation units B2.

(Recipe service home page)
9 is a diagram showing a top screen D2 of the recipe service. The top screen D2 of the recipe service is displayed by transitioning from the top screen D1 when the operation unit B2b corresponding to "Recipe Service" on the top screen D1 of the home appliance management application is operated (e.g., tapped). The top screen D2 of the recipe service includes, for example, an operation unit 510 for searching for a recipe, a selection area R20, a first recipe display area R21, and a second recipe display area R22.

In this embodiment, the display control unit 320 displays the selection area R20, the first recipe display area R21, and the second recipe display area R22 on the top screen D2 of the recipe service. That is, the display control unit 320 displays the selection area R20, the first recipe display area R21, and the second recipe display area R22 on one screen. In this application, "display on one screen" means "display on a continuous screen." That is, "display on one screen" is not limited to being displayed on a screen that can be viewed at one time (for example, on the display screen 301a), but may also include a case where the screen is displayed in order by scrolling from a state where a part of the screen is hidden on the screen that can be viewed at one time.

In the selection area R20, a list of the oven ranges 100 for which device registration has been performed is displayed, along with an operation unit 511 for changing the specific oven range 100S from the list of oven ranges 100. For example, the user U can change the specific oven range 100S by checking the operation unit 511 corresponding to the oven range 100 that he or she wishes to set as the specific oven range 100S. Note that if the specific oven range 100S can be changed on a different operation screen, the selection area R20 may be omitted.

The first recipe display area R21 displays a list of recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S among the multiple recipes registered in the recipe DB 282. In this application, "a list of recipes is displayed" or "a recipe is displayed" is not limited to the case where the details of the recipe are displayed, but may also include the case where only the title or thumbnail image of the recipe is displayed together with an operation unit for transitioning to a detailed screen of each recipe. In this embodiment, as a list of recipes, the title or thumbnail image of each recipe is displayed superimposed on the operation unit 512 for transitioning to a detailed screen of each recipe. This display mode is the same for favorite recipes. In addition, the first recipe display area R21 displays an operation unit 513 for additionally displaying recipes that cannot be displayed due to the area of the first recipe display area R21 among the multiple recipes registered in the recipe DB 282. The first recipe display area R21 is an example of a "first area".

In this embodiment, the display control unit 320 transmits to the server 200 a transmission request (acquisition request) for information showing a list of recipes, the transmission request including information showing the specific oven range 100S registered in the device registration information 381. In response to the transmission request, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 extracts recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from the recipe DB 282 and transmits them to the terminal device 300. As a result, the recipe providing unit 240 selects only the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from the multiple recipes registered in the recipe DB 282 and displays them in the first recipe display area R21.

The second recipe display area R22 is an area on the display screen 301a that is distinct from the first recipe display area R21. The second recipe display area R22 displays a list of favorite recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB283 that correspond to the specific oven range 100S. In other words, in this embodiment, whether or not a favorite recipe is displayed is changed depending on whether or not the favorite recipe corresponds to the specific oven range 100S. In addition, the second recipe display area R22 displays an operation unit 514 for additionally displaying recipes that cannot be displayed due to the area of the second recipe display area R22 among the multiple recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB283. The second recipe display area R22 is an example of a "second area".

In this embodiment, the display control unit 320 transmits to the server 200 a transmission request (acquisition request) for information showing a list of favorite recipes, the transmission request including information showing the specific oven range 100S registered in the device registration information 381. In response to the transmission request, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 extracts favorite recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from the favorite recipe DB 283 and transmits them to the terminal device 300. As a result, the recipe providing unit 240 selects only recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from the favorite recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB 283, and displays them in the second recipe display area R22.

(Recipe details screen)
10 is a diagram showing a details screen D3 of an individual recipe. The recipe details screen D3 is displayed by transitioning from the top screen D2 of the recipe service when the operation unit 512 corresponding to each recipe is operated (e.g., tapped) on the top screen D2. In this embodiment, the recipe details screen D3 includes a details display area 521, an operation unit 522, and an operation unit 523.

The details display area 521 displays the contents of the recipe. The contents of the recipe include, for example, the ingredients, quantities, and preparation instructions.

The operation unit 522 is an operation unit for registering favorite recipes, and accepts an operation by the user U to register the displayed recipe as a favorite recipe. For example, the displayed recipe is registered as a favorite recipe by operating (e.g., tapping) the operation unit 522. On the other hand, if the displayed recipe has already been registered as a favorite recipe, the registration as a favorite recipe is cancelled by operating (e.g., tapping) the operation unit 522.

The operation unit 523 is an operation unit for transmitting heating information to the specific oven range 100S. When the operation unit 523 is operated (e.g., tapped), a request to transmit heating information is transmitted from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the heating information is transmitted from the server 200 to the specific oven range 100S.

(Screen transition due to change of specific oven range 100S)
Fig. 11 is a diagram for explaining screen transitions due to a change in the specific microwave oven 100S. Fig. 11 (a) shows the top screen D2 of the recipe service when the first microwave oven 100A is registered as the specific microwave oven 100S. As shown in Fig. 11 (a), when the first microwave oven 100A is registered as the specific microwave oven 100S, the first recipe display area R21 displays a list of recipes (recipes A1 to A8) corresponding to the first microwave oven 100A among the multiple recipes included in the recipe DB 282, and the second recipe display area R22 displays only a list of favorite recipes (recipes A1, A2, A3) corresponding to the first microwave oven 100A among the favorite recipes included in the favorite recipe DB 283.

(b) in FIG. 11 shows the top screen D2 of the recipe service when the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S (for example, when the specific oven range 100S is changed from the first oven range 100A to the second oven range 100B). As shown in (b) in FIG. 11, when the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S, the first recipe display area R21 displays a list of recipes (recipes B1 to B8) that correspond to the second oven range 100B among the multiple recipes contained in the recipe DB 282, and the second recipe display area R22 displays only a list of favorite recipes (recipes B1, B2, B3) that correspond to the second oven range 100B among the favorite recipes contained in the favorite recipe DB 283.

6. Control Flow
Next, an example of the control flow will be described.
12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of control. For example, when the operation unit B2b corresponding to the recipe service is operated on the top screen D1 of the home appliance management application APP, the display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 transmits to the server 200 a transmission request (acquisition request) for information showing a list of recipes to be displayed on the top screen D2 of the recipe service and a list of favorite recipes (S101). For example, the transmission request includes information identifying the specific microwave oven 100S obtained based on the device registration information 381. Note that the transmission request does not need to include information identifying the specific microwave oven 100S. In this case, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 may identify the specific microwave oven 100S based on the device registration DB 281 of the server 200.

When the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 receives the above transmission request, it selects a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among the multiple recipes registered in the recipe DB 282, and also selects a favorite recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among the multiple recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB 283 (S102). Next, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 transmits information indicating a list of the selected recipes and a list of favorite recipes to the terminal device 300 (S103). As a result, the display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 displays the top screen D2 of the recipe service including the list of selected recipes and the list of favorite recipes (S104).

Next, when the operation reception unit 330 receives an operation by the user U to select one recipe from the list of displayed recipes or the list of favorite recipes, the display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 transmits a transmission request (acquisition request) for detailed information about the recipe to the server 200 (S105). When the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 receives the transmission request, it acquires detailed information about the recipe from the recipe DB 282 and transmits the acquired detailed information about the recipe to the terminal device 300 (S106). In this embodiment, together with the detailed information about the recipe, information indicating that the recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S (that heating information can be transmitted) is added.

The display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 displays a recipe details screen D3 based on the detailed recipe information received from the server 200 (S107). In this case, the display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 displays the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information in an active state based on information indicating that the recipe received from the server 200 corresponds to the specific oven range 100S (that heating information can be transmitted).

When the operation unit 523 is operated on the terminal device 300, the operation reception unit 330 transmits a request to send heating information from the terminal device 300 to the server 200 (S108). When the recipe provision unit 240 of the server 200 receives a request to send heating information from the terminal device 300, it transmits the heating information to the specific oven range 100S corresponding to the terminal device 300 (S109). As a result, the specific oven range 100S sets the heating settings for the heating device 110 based on the heating information (S110).

<7. Advantages>

In this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 changes whether or not to display a favorite recipe depending on whether or not the favorite recipe is a recipe that corresponds to a specific oven range 100S. With this configuration, the user U can easily know favorite recipes that correspond to a specific oven range 100S. This can improve convenience.

In this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 selects and displays a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among the multiple recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220, and also selects and displays a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among one or more favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit 230. With this configuration, the user U can easily see a list of recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S and a list of favorite recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. This can further improve convenience.

In this embodiment, when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 displays a list of recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A among the multiple recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220 in the first recipe display area R21, and displays a list of recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A among one or more favorite recipes in the second recipe display area R22. On the other hand, when the specific oven range 100S is changed from the first oven range 100A to the second oven range 100B, the recipe providing unit 240 displays a list of recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B among the multiple recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220 in the first recipe display area R21, and displays a list of recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B among one or more favorite recipes in the second recipe display area R22. With this configuration, recipes that correspond to the specific oven range 100S and favorite recipes can be easily known, and because the recipe list and favorite recipe list are displayed in different areas, the favorite recipe list can be more easily distinguished from the regular recipe list. This further improves convenience.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that, for favorite recipes, recipes are displayed regardless of whether they are recipes compatible with the specific oven range 100S, and the display mode of the favorite recipe or the functions provided for the favorite recipe are changed depending on whether each favorite recipe is a recipe compatible with the specific oven range 100S. The configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the first embodiment.

(Recipe service home page)
Fig. 13 is a diagram for explaining screen transitions due to a change in the specific microwave oven 100S of the second embodiment. Fig. 13(a) shows the top screen D2 of the recipe service when the first microwave oven 100A is registered as the specific microwave oven 100S. As shown in Fig. 12(a), when the first microwave oven 100A is registered as the specific microwave oven 100S, only a list of recipes (recipes A1 to A8) corresponding to the first microwave oven 100A among the multiple recipes included in the recipe DB 282 is displayed in the first recipe display region R21.

On the other hand, even if the first microwave oven 100A is registered as the specific microwave oven 100S, the second recipe display area R22 displays a list of favorite recipes (recipes A1 to A3, recipes B1 to B3) corresponding to all microwave ovens 100 (first microwave oven 100A and second microwave oven 100B) for which device registration has been performed among the favorite recipes contained in the favorite recipe DB 283. In other words, in this embodiment, all favorite recipes are displayed regardless of whether they are recipes corresponding to the specific microwave oven 100S. In this application, "all recipes are displayed" may also include cases where, for example, recipes are not displayed on the top screen D2 of the recipe service, but can be viewed as additional recipes in response to an operation of the operation unit 514.

In this embodiment, in the second recipe display area R22, multiple favorite recipes are displayed in a predetermined order (for example, in order of most recent registration in the recipe DB 282) regardless of whether the favorite recipes correspond to the first oven range 100A or the second oven range 100B. In other words, recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A and recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B are displayed in a mixed state.

(b) in FIG. 13 shows the top screen D2 of the recipe service when the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S (for example, when the specific oven range 100S is changed from the first oven range 100A to the second oven range 100B). As shown in (b) in FIG. 13, when the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S, only a list of recipes (recipes B1 to B8) corresponding to the second oven range 100B from among the multiple recipes included in the recipe DB 282 is displayed in the first recipe display area R21.

On the other hand, even if the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S, the second recipe display area R22 displays a list of favorite recipes (recipes A1 to A3, recipes B1 to B3) corresponding to all oven ranges 100 (first oven range 100A and second oven range 100B) for which device registration has been performed, among the favorite recipes contained in the favorite recipe DB283. In other words, the same recipes are displayed in the second recipe display area R22 when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S and when the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S.

(Recipe details screen)
In this embodiment, on the recipe details screen D3, the display mode of the favorite recipe or the functions provided for the favorite recipe are changed depending on whether or not the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S.

14 is a diagram for explaining the difference between the recipe details screen D3 when the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S and when it is not. (a) in FIG. 14 shows the recipe details screen D3 when the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. As shown in (a) in FIG. 14, when the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 provides a transmission function for transmitting heating information as an example of a function provided for the favorite recipe. The recipe providing unit 240 displays the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information in a first state (e.g., color) indicating an active state. When the operation unit 523 is operated (e.g., tapped), a request for transmitting heating information is transmitted from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the heating information is transmitted from the server 200 to the specific oven range 100S.

On the other hand, (b) in FIG. 14 shows the recipe details screen D3 when the favorite recipe is not compatible with the specific oven range 100S. As shown in (b) in FIG. 14, when the favorite recipe is not compatible with the specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 does not provide a transmission function for transmitting heating information. The recipe providing unit 240 displays the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information in a second state (e.g., gray) indicating an inactive state. In this case, even if the operation unit 523 is operated, a request to transmit heating information is not transmitted from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and heating information is not transmitted from the server 200 to the oven range 100.

In the control flow of this embodiment, the transmission request in the process of S105 described with reference to FIG. 12 includes information identifying the specific oven range 100S obtained based on the device registration information 381. Note that the transmission request does not have to include information identifying the specific oven range 100S. In this case, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 may identify the specific oven range 100S based on the device registration DB 281 of the server 200. Then, if the recipe for which detailed information has been requested is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, information indicating that the recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S (that heating information can be transmitted) is added in the process of S106 together with the detailed information of the recipe.

(advantage)
As a comparative example, consider a case where the favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit are managed individually for each microwave oven 100. In this case, the user U needs to manage which recipes have been registered as favorite recipes for which microwave ovens 100, and it may be time-consuming to find a desired favorite recipe.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 selects and displays a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among the multiple recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220, and displays the favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit 230 regardless of whether they are recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, and changes the display mode of the favorite recipe or the functions provided for the favorite recipe depending on whether the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. With this configuration, the user U can check the favorite recipes without worrying about which recipe was registered as a favorite recipe for which oven range 100, and can easily know whether a recipe of interest is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. This improves convenience.

In this embodiment, the display control unit 320 displays a list of recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S in a first recipe display area R21 of the display screen 301a, and also displays a list of favorite recipes in a second recipe display area R22 on the display screen 301a that is distinct from the first recipe display area R21. With this configuration, favorite recipes are displayed together in one place, making it easier for the user U to check the favorite recipes. Furthermore, recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S are displayed together separately from the favorite recipes, making it easier for the user U to check the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. This can further improve convenience.

In this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 changes whether or not to provide a transmission function for transmitting heating information included in each favorite recipe to the microwave oven 100, depending on whether or not the favorite recipe is a recipe compatible with the specific microwave oven 100S. With this configuration, the user U can easily know whether or not a recipe he or she is interested in is a recipe compatible with the specific microwave oven 100S, depending on whether or not the heating information transmission function is available. This can further improve convenience.

Third Embodiment
Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that a list of microwave ovens 100 corresponding to a favorite recipe is displayed on a detail screen of the favorite recipe. The configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the second embodiment. For example, the display content of the top screen D2 of the recipe service is the same as that of the second embodiment.

Figure 15 is a diagram for explaining screen transitions of the recipe details screen D3 of the third embodiment. (a) in Figure 15 shows the top screen of the recipe details screen D3. In (a) in Figure 15, if there is an oven range 100 (which may be an oven range 100 other than the specific oven range 100S) that corresponds to the recipe being displayed (e.g., a favorite recipe) among the multiple oven ranges 100 for which device registration has been performed, the recipe providing unit 240 displays the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information in a first state (e.g., color) indicating that it is in an active state.

In this case, when the operation unit 523 for sending heating information is operated on the top screen of the recipe details screen D3, an individual screen D4 is displayed as shown in (b) of FIG. 15. The individual screen D4 displays a list of the oven ranges 100 corresponding to the recipe among the multiple oven ranges 100 for which device registration has been performed (i.e., a list of the oven ranges 100 that can be selected as the destination of the heating information). The individual screen D4 is an example of a "screen related to favorite recipes." For example, the recipe providing unit 240 performs the above process based on information received from the terminal device 300 based on the device registration information 381, or information registered in the device registration DB 281.

Individual screen D4 displays an operation unit 531 for selecting the oven range 100 to which the heating information is to be sent from among the multiple oven ranges 100 corresponding to the recipe. Then, when the operation unit 532 for confirming the oven range 100 to which the heating information is to be sent is operated with the oven range 100 to which the heating information is to be sent selected, a request to send the heating information is sent from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the heating information is sent to the oven range 100 selected by the operation unit 531. Then, as shown in (C) in FIG. 15, individual screen D5 is displayed. Individual screen D5 displays that the heating information has been sent to the selected oven range 100.

On the other hand, in (a) of FIG. 15, if there is no oven range 100 that corresponds to the displayed recipe (e.g., a favorite recipe) among the multiple oven ranges 100 for which device registration has been performed, the recipe providing unit 240 displays the operation unit 523 for sending heating information in a second state (e.g., gray) indicating that the operation unit 523 is in an inactive state. In this case, even if the operation unit 523 is operated, a request to send heating information is not sent from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and heating information is not sent from the server 200 to the oven range 100.

As described above, in this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 selects and displays a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among the multiple recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220, and displays favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit 230 regardless of whether they are recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, and displays a list of oven ranges 100 corresponding to the favorite recipes on the individual screen D4 related to each favorite recipe. With this configuration, when multiple oven ranges 100 are registered, the user U can easily know to which oven range 100 heating information can be sent. For example, the user U can easily know that the recipe is also compatible with oven ranges 100 other than the specific oven range 100S. This can further improve convenience.

(Modification)
Alternatively to the content of the third embodiment described above, when the recipe being displayed (e.g. a favorite recipe) corresponds to a specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 displays the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information in a first state (e.g. color) indicating that it is in an active state, when the recipe being displayed does not correspond to the specific oven range 100S but an oven range 100 corresponding to the displayed recipe exists, the recipe providing unit 240 displays the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information in a second state (e.g. a color different from the first state), and when there is no oven range 100 corresponding to the displayed recipe, the recipe providing unit 240 may display the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information in a third state (e.g. gray) indicating that it is inactive.

Fourth Embodiment
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. The fourth embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that, when a favorite recipe is selected by the user U as a recipe to be used and a function for transmitting heating information included in the recipe to be used is used, heating information is transmitted to the microwave oven 100 that was registered as the specific microwave oven 100S when the recipe to be used was registered as a favorite recipe. The configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the third embodiment. For example, the display content of the top screen D2 of the recipe service is the same as that of the third embodiment.

Figure 16 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the favorite recipe DB 283. In this embodiment, the favorite recipe DB 283 stores, in association with each other, the management ID of a recipe registered as a favorite recipe and information indicating the oven range 100 that was registered as the specific oven range 100S when the recipe was registered as a favorite recipe. This association is established, for example, by the device registration unit 210. This association is registered in the device registration information 381 or the device registration DB 281. For example, the recipe providing unit 240 performs the following processing based on information received from the terminal device 300 based on the device registration information 381 or information registered in the device registration DB 281.

Figure 17 is a diagram for explaining screen transitions of the recipe details screen D3 of the fourth embodiment. (a) in Figure 17 shows the top screen of the recipe details screen D3. When the operation unit 523 for sending heating information is operated on the top screen of the recipe details screen D3, an individual screen D6 is displayed as shown in (b) in Figure 17. The individual screen D6 displays the name of the oven range 100 that was registered as the specific oven range 100S when the recipe was registered as a favorite recipe, and also displays an operation unit 541 for selecting whether or not to send heating information to the oven range 100.

When the operation unit 541 is operated to indicate that heating information may be sent to the oven range 100 whose name is displayed on the individual screen D6, a request to send heating information is sent from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the heating information is sent to that oven range 100. Then, as shown in (c) of FIG. 17, the individual screen D5 is displayed. The individual screen D5 displays that heating information has been sent to the oven range 100.

As described above, in this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 selects and displays a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among the multiple recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220, and displays favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit 230 regardless of whether they correspond to the specific oven range 100S. When a favorite recipe is selected by the user U as the recipe to be used and the transmission function of heating information included in the recipe to be used is used, heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 that was registered as the specific oven range 100S when the recipe to be used was registered as the favorite recipe. With this configuration, heating information can be transmitted to the corresponding oven range 100 without having to worry about which recipe was registered as a favorite for which oven range 100. This can further improve convenience.

Fifth Embodiment
Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. The fifth embodiment differs from the fourth embodiment in that when a user U selects one favorite recipe as a recipe to be used and the transmission function of the heating information included in the recipe to be used is used, the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 that last transmitted the heating information included in the recipe to be used. Note that the configuration other than that described below is the same as the fourth embodiment.

Figure 18 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the favorite recipe DB 283. In this embodiment, the favorite recipe DB 283 stores the management ID of a recipe registered as a favorite recipe in association with the oven range 100 to which the heating information included in the recipe was last transmitted. This association is registered in the device registration information 381 or the device registration DB 281. For example, the recipe providing unit 240 performs the following processing based on information received from the terminal device 300 based on the device registration information 381 or information registered in the device registration DB 281.

In this embodiment, when a user U selects one favorite recipe as the recipe to be used and uses the function for transmitting heating information contained in the recipe to be used, the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 to which the heating information contained in the recipe to be used was last transmitted. For details of this embodiment, in the content described in the fourth embodiment, "the oven range 100 that was registered as the specific oven range 100S when the recipe was registered as a favorite recipe" can be read as "the oven range 100 to which the heating information contained in the recipe was last transmitted." With this configuration, it is possible to transmit heating information to the corresponding oven range 100 without having to worry about which recipe was registered as a favorite for which oven range 100. This can further improve convenience.

A number of embodiments have been described above. However, the embodiments are not limited to the above examples. Two or more of the above-described embodiments may be realized in combination with each other. For example, depending on whether or not each favorite recipe is a recipe that corresponds to a specific oven range 100S, the display manner of the favorite recipe may be changed in the second recipe display area R22. For example, in the second recipe display area R22, if a favorite recipe corresponds to a specific oven range 100S, the recipe may be displayed in a manner (e.g., color) that indicates that the recipe is in an active state, and if the favorite recipe does not correspond to a specific oven range 100S, the recipe may be displayed in a manner (e.g., gray) that indicates that the recipe is in an inactive state.

According to at least one of the embodiments described above, the recipe management system includes a recipe providing unit that changes whether or not to display a favorite recipe, the display mode of the favorite recipe, or the functions provided for the favorite recipe depending on whether or not the favorite recipe is a recipe that corresponds to the cooking device primarily used, or depending on whether or not there is a cooking device that corresponds to the favorite recipe. With such a configuration, it is possible to improve convenience.
