[0075] Step S205: When the second weight information is not less than the first weight information and the target deviation value is not less than the first preset deviation, a first prompt information is displayed, and the first prompt information is used to prompt the user that the target seasoning has not been added.

[0076] In the disclosed embodiment, if the second weight information is not less than the first weight information, it means that at this time, the weight corresponding to the position of the target receiving box on the receiving tray is greater than the weight of the empty box of the target receiving box, and if the difference between the second weight information and the first weight information is not less than the first preset deviation, it can be regarded that a certain amount of seasoning is still retained in the current target receiving box. Therefore, the interactive screen of the seasoning machine is controlled to display the first prompt information to remind the user that the target seasoning has not been put in.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0078] When the second weight information is less than the first weight information, a third prompt information is displayed, and the third prompt information is used to prompt the user that the target receiving box has not been put back.
