Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information providing system for a food providing store. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of information terminals such as smartphones and car navigation, services that display information about restaurants or cafes operating in a specific area have become widely used. However, users often cannot obtain sufficient information about the dishes provided by restaurants or cafes displayed on information terminals, except for chain stores or restaurants that they frequently visit.

[0003] On the other hand, as health awareness has increased in recent years, more and more people are paying attention to the nutritional content of food, such as calories, salt content, and sugar content, even when dining out. As a system for providing nutritional information about food when dining out, a system has been proposed that can display whether ingredients that the user should limit are included in the menu of a target food providing store (see Patent Document 1, etc.).

[0004] However, eating is one of the important pleasures in life. The conventional method of simply determining whether a user should consume a certain dish based only on the nutritional information of the dish has the problem of excessively restricting the user's pleasure in life.

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2011-248706 Summary of the invention Problems to be solved by the invention

[0006] The present invention relates to an information providing system for a restaurant providing food that allows people to enjoy a diversified dietary life while maintaining nutritional balance. Means of solving problems

[0007] The information providing system of a food providing store involved in the present invention comprises: A cooking information storage unit for storing a cooking provided by a cooking store in association with cooking nutrition information, which is information about the nutrition of the cooking; and A user dietary information storage unit for storing nutritional information of food that a specified user has consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future in association with a date, time or period of consumption; and a nutritional balance determination unit for extracting a recommended dish that is nutritionally suitable for the user from the dishes stored in the dish information storage unit using the user's dietary information and the dish nutrition information; and The information related to the recommended dishes and the recommended dishes providing stores that provide the dishes extracted by the nutritional balance determination unit is transmitted to the communication control unit of the user information terminal device.

[0008] The information providing system of the food providing store involved in the present invention can memorize the nutritional information of the food, and at the same time memorize the nutritional information of the food that the user has consumed in the past and in the future. By using this information, not only the health of the user is taken care of, but also a variety of recommended food information can be provided to the user. In addition, the information providing system of the food providing store can also support the user's diversified dietary life by providing information about food providing stores that the user has never been to or food that the user has never tasted.

[0009] The information providing system of the food providing store involved in the present invention may also include, for example: a usage information acquisition unit for acquiring, with respect to the dish stored in the dish information storage unit, whether the user has eaten the dish in the past or whether the user plans to eat the dish in the future; and The dietary information updating section updates the dietary information of the user stored in the dietary information storage section using the information provided by the store and the nutritional information of the dish stored in the dietary information storage section.

[0010] According to such a restaurant information providing system, since the user's dietary information can be automatically updated based on the franchise store usage information, the user can receive information on recommended restaurant and recommended dishes from the system without having to input dish-related information himself.

[0011] The information providing system of the food providing store involved in the present invention may also include, for example: A memory unit for memorizing the address of the restaurant providing the aforementioned cuisine and the surrounding geographical information, i.e., the geographical information; and A location information acquisition unit for acquiring the location of the aforementioned user information terminal device; and The aforementioned communication control unit, within the specific range where the aforementioned information terminal device is located, if at least one of the aforementioned food providing stores is the aforementioned recommended food providing store, can distinguish the aforementioned geographic information of the aforementioned recommended food providing store from the aforementioned geographic information of the aforementioned non-recommended food providing stores, and transmit it to the aforementioned user's information terminal device.

[0012] By using the location information of the user's information terminal device to transmit the restaurant information, the user can obtain the restaurant information that is more convenient to use in the geographical location. In addition, by distinguishing between the recommended restaurant information and the non-recommended restaurant information, the user's selection can be expanded or the user's selection can be made easier.

[0013] In addition, for example, the communication control unit may receive order information from the information terminal device indicating the user's intention to order from the recommendable food provider, and transmit the order information to the recommendable food provider that provides the recommendable food.

[0014] According to such a restaurant information provision system, users can perform integrated operations from searching for food to ordering food.

[0015] In addition, for example, the communication control unit may receive settlement information indicating that the user wishes to settle the order together with the order information, and transmit the settlement information to a designated settlement agency.

[0016] According to such a restaurant information provision system, users can perform integrated operations from searching for food to ordering and paying.

[0017] In addition, for example, the communication control unit may transmit the information of the recommended dishes and the recommended dish providing store, together with the information of the reason why the dishes are recommended from a nutritional perspective, to the information terminal device of the user.

[0018] According to such a system for providing information on a restaurant providing food, a user can not only understand the reasons for recommending a recommended dish, but also learn about nutritional issues that need to be paid attention to in eating.

[0019] In addition, for example, the communication control unit may transmit information about the recommended dishes and the stores providing the recommended dishes, together with index information about the degree of nutritional compatibility of the recommended dishes with the user, to the information terminal device of the user.

[0020] According to such a system for providing information on a restaurant providing food, a user can obtain more useful information by checking the index of a recommended food and decide whether to select the food.

[0021] In addition, for example, the information providing system of the food providing store involved in the present invention may include: a regional information memory unit for memorizing the address of the aforementioned restaurant providing cuisine and information related to the surrounding geography (i.e., geographic information), and a location information acquisition unit for acquiring the location of the information terminal device of the user, and The nutritional balance determination unit may extract a plurality of the recommended dishes and the recommended dish providing stores, and When the communication control unit extracts a plurality of the recommended food providing stores within a specific range using the information terminal device, it can distinguish the geographic information of the recommended food providing store with the highest index from the geographic information of other recommended food providing stores and transmit the information to the information terminal device of the user.

[0022] According to such a restaurant information providing system, when a user has a plurality of easily available recommended restaurant services, the user can easily identify information of the recommended restaurant service with the highest index and obtain more useful information to decide whether to select the dish.

[0023] In addition, for example, the aforementioned user dietary information may include information related to the alcohol that the aforementioned user consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future.

[0024] Since the user's dietary information includes information related to alcohol intake, such a restaurant's information provision system can, for example, recommend appropriate dishes to the user based on the burden of alcohol intake on the body, thereby providing more useful information for the user's health maintenance.

[0025] In addition, for example, the aforementioned user dietary information may include information related to the calories of dishes that the aforementioned user has consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future.

[0026] Since the user's dietary information includes information related to calories, the information providing system of such a restaurant can, for example, recommend to the user dishes that moderately maintain the average daily calories, thereby providing more useful information for the user's health maintenance.

Electronic payment services include credit cards, debit cards, electronic money, etc., but are not limited to these. In addition, in the information providing system 10, the payment institution 96 that mediates the payment between the user and the food provider is not limited to a single institution, and the user can choose to pay from multiple payment institutions.

[0038] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The functional block diagram of the server device 12 is shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, the server device 12 includes: a store information management unit 20 including a cooking information storage unit 22, a user information management unit 30 including a diet information storage unit 32, a nutrition balance determination unit 40, a communication control unit 50, etc. In addition, the server device 12 also includes a usage information acquisition unit 76 for acquiring information related to a user's use of a cooking store, a location information acquisition unit 70 for acquiring location information of user terminal devices 92a, 92b, and 92c, and a diet information update unit 78 for updating the user's diet information 33 stored in the diet information storage unit 32. The server device 12 also includes a method for inputting the cooking nutrition information 23 (see Figure 6 )'s automatic registration support unit 79.

[0039] Figure 2 The store information management unit 20 shown is responsible for memorizing the food providing store information and updating the food providing store information when necessary. Figure 5 yes Figure 2 The store information management unit 20 is a conceptual diagram showing the details of the store information management unit 20. The store information management unit 20 stores information including business hours information 29a, business mode information 29b, real-time information 29c, customer information 29d, etc. The store information management unit 20 also includes a cooking information storage unit 22 and a regional information storage unit 28.

[0040] Figure 5 The store information management unit 20 shown in the figure distinguishes each food providing store and stores various information about the food providing store. The business hours information 29a includes, for example, information related to the business hours of the food providing store, such as lunch time, dinner time, breakfast time, late night time, business days and closed days. The business model information 29b includes, for example, information related to the business model, such as whether the food providing store provides take-out, dine-in, delivery services, or whether it accepts reservations.

[0041] also, Figure 5 The real-time information 29c shown includes information that changes at any time, such as the store's crowdedness, reservation status, and the remaining quantity of a specific dish (how many specific dishes can be provided on the same day). Real-time information 29c, such as the user's order information 51, can be obtained through Figure 2 The communication control unit 50 shown in FIG. 29a obtains and updates the information. The customer information 29d includes information such as the user ID of the food provider who uses the specified food provider, the time of use, and the food ordered. For example, the customer information 29d includes food provider usage information 29da of the food provider that the customer has consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future. Figure 2 The information acquisition unit 76 shown is used to acquire information related to whether the user has taken food before or plans to take food in the future, for example, the user's order information or reservation information.

[0042] Figure 5 The illustrated regional information storage unit 28 stores geographical information 28a about the address of the food store and surrounding geographical information. The geographical information 28a includes information such as the nearest station and the time required to reach the nearest station in addition to the address. As described later, Figure 2 The server device 12 shown can use the geographical information 28a of the food providing store to only use the food provided by the food providing store in the specific area that the user wants to know as the search object of the recommended food of the nutritional balance judgment unit 40, or only use the food providing store in the specific area as the object of providing information to the user.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the store information management unit 20 includes a dish information storage unit 22. The dish information storage unit 22 associates and stores dishes 24 provided by the dish providing store with information related to the nutrition 25 of the dishes, that is, the nutrition information 23 of the dishes. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of information stored in the cooking information storage unit 22. Figure 6 As shown, the food information storage unit 22 stores the food 24 ( Figure 6 The example is "Spaghetti with garlic (set meal)") and the nutrition information 23 (such as calories, protein, carbohydrates, etc.) related to the nutrition 25 of the dish is associated and memorized.

[0044] The cooking information storage unit 22 preferably associates all the cooking 24 provided by the designated cooking store as recommended cooking to the user with cooking nutrition information 23. The cooking nutrition information 23 includes the types and contents of calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, purine, vegetables, alcohol, sugar, salt, water, etc. contained in the cooking 24, but is not limited to these. Other values ​​that are meaningful from a nutritional point of view may also be included as the cooking nutrition information 23. In addition, the cooking nutrition information 23 related to the cooking 24 may be a value or an indicator (e.g., only calories), or may be a number such as Figure 6 A plurality of values ​​or indices are shown, and there is no particular limitation on the type of nutritional information that is memorized for a particular dish 24 .

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the dish nutrition information 23, the dish information storage unit 22 can also associate and store the dish 24 with the price information 26 of the dish 24 and the attribute information 27 such as whether the dish 24 is a lunch menu, dinner menu, side dish menu, or takeout menu. Figure 2The server device 12 shown can use the price information 26 and attribute information 27 of the dish 24, and only use the dishes 24 that can be provided according to the time period and provision method required by the user as the search objects of the recommended dishes 42 of the nutritional balance judgment unit 40, or only use the dishes 24 in a specified price range as the objects of information provided to the user.

[0046] In addition, the cooking nutrition information 23 stored in the cooking information storage unit 22 can be obtained by Figure 1 The food providing store terminal device 94a shown in the figure manually inputs numerical data into the food information storage unit 22, or inputs the corresponding data of the food 24 and the food nutrition information 23 by uploading the food information storage unit 22. In addition, the food nutrition information 23 stored in the food information storage unit 22 can also be stored in the food information storage unit 22. Figure 2 The automatic registration support unit 79 shown in the figure performs calculations and automatically inputs the image data of the dish 24. The automatic registration support unit 79 can automatically recognize the image data of the dish 24 uploaded by the dish providing store terminal device 51 (or the user terminal device 92a) uploaded to the server device 12, automatically recognize the name of the dish and its related dish nutrition information 23 therefrom, and store this information in the dish information storage unit 22.

[0047] Figure 2 The user information management unit 30 shown manages user information that communicates information with the server device 12 via user terminal devices 92a, 92b, and 92c. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The user information management unit 30 manages not only the user's dietary information 33 described later, but also individual information of each user such as the user's physical information 39a, regional information 39b, and dietary preference related information 39c, and manages them by assigning user IDs.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the user information management unit 30 can memorize information such as the user's age, weight, height, gender, basal metabolism, and standard calorie intake as the user's physical information 39a. In addition, the user information management unit 30 can also memorize the user's address, work place, etc. as the user's regional information 39b. In addition, the user information management unit 30 can also memorize the user's food allergy history, favorite foods, disliked foods, foods to be avoided, and nutrition, etc., as the dietary preference related information 39c.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the dietary information storage unit 32 of the user information management unit 30 stores nutritional information of dishes that a specified user has consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future, that is, user dietary information 33, in association with the date and time 36 or period of consumption. Figure 4 It is a conceptual diagram for explaining the information stored in the dietary information storage unit 32.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the user information management unit 30 can, for example, store the dishes and nutritional information of the designated user in the past in a form similar to a diet log, such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Figure 4 The example shown shows that the dietary information memory unit 32 stores the meal information recently consumed by the specified user, namely, the user dietary information (1) 34, as a state of the user dietary information 33 being stored. The user dietary information (1) 34 includes the time of consumption 36, the consumed dish and the information 37 of the restaurant that provides the dish, and the nutritional information 35 of the dish consumed from the meal. In addition, the time of consumption 36 can be included as part of the user dietary information 33, or it can be managed separately. In addition, the information stored as the user dietary information 33 is not limited to the nutritional information related to the dishes provided by the restaurant, but can also include, for example, the nutritional information related to the dishes consumed by the user at home.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the nutritional information 35 of the food consumed in the diet includes information such as calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, purine, vegetables, alcohol, sugar, salt, water, etc. contained in the consumed food, but is not limited to these. In addition, the user's dietary information 33 is not limited to the nutritional information of the food consumed in the past, but can also include the nutritional information of the food that the user plans to consume in the future. For example, if the designated user plans to have dinner at a certain food provider the next day, the dietary information memory unit 32 can store the nutritional information of the dinner menu as other user dietary information, and associate it with the date and time of the meal 36 (the next night) for memory.

[0052] The user's dietary information 33 stored in the dietary information storage unit 32 is not limited to Figure 4 The nutritional information of each meal of the user dietary information (1) 34 shown may also include information including the nutritional cumulative value of the food consumed in multiple meals, such as the nutritional information of the food consumed by the user within a certain intake period, for example, from the time the user searches for a dish to within 24 hours, i.e., the user dietary information (2) 38a. In addition, the user dietary information stored in the dietary information memory unit 32 may also include the nutritional information of the food consumed by the user within a specified week, such as the user dietary information (3) 38b, or the nutritional information of the food consumed by the user from yesterday to tomorrow, i.e., the user dietary information (4) 38c.

[0053] In addition, other user dietary information 33 memorized by the dietary information memory unit 32 may also include information with a longer time span, such as user dietary information (5) 38d and user dietary information (6) 38e, i.e., dietary nutritional information of the user in the weeks or months before and after searching for dishes. The dietary information memory unit 32 has long-term user dietary information 33, so that the information providing system 10 can have very useful nutritional data from the user's health maintenance point of view. In addition, the user can plan future diets and make a schedule for the intake of nutrition with the support of the nutritional balance determination unit 40 described later. Therefore, such an information providing system 10 is extremely useful for the user's health management. In addition, if the user becomes accustomed to making future dietary plans, the dish providing store can also more easily predict the consumption of ingredients, which helps to reduce the waste of food, etc.

[0054] User dietary information 33 such as user dietary information (1) 34 can be input by the user through the user terminal device 92a, etc., but can also be input by Figure 2 The dietary information updating unit 78 in the server device 12 shown in the figure updates the user dietary information 33. For example, Figure 2 When a user uses a food providing store managed by the store information management unit 20, the food information update unit 78 can obtain the food store usage information 29da (see FIG. 29 ) acquired by the information acquisition unit 76. Figure 5 ) and the cooking nutrition information 23 of the cooking information memory unit 22, and automatically updates the user's dietary information 33. The dietary information update unit 78 updates the user's dietary information 33 by Figure 5 The food consumed by the user and the date of consumption are identified in the restaurant usage information 29da, and the nutritional information of the food is identified through the food nutritional information 23, thereby obtaining the user dietary information 33.

[0055] Figure 2 The nutritional balance determination unit 40 shown in FIG. 1 utilizes the user's dietary information 33 (see Figure 4 ) and cooking nutrition information 23 (refer to Figure 6 ) and extracting, from the dishes stored in the dish information storage unit 22, recommended dishes suitable for the user from a nutritional point of view. Figure 7 1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the process of extracting the recommended dishes 42 by the nutrition balance determination unit 40 .

[0056] like Figure 7 The nutritional balance determination unit 40 shown in FIG. Figure 1 The user terminal device 92a shown in the figure inputs a signal requesting a recommended dish to the server device 12, and then starts processing. Figure 7As shown, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 reads the user dietary information 33 of the user who requested the recommended dish from the dietary information memory unit 32 to understand the nutritional intake status of the user. On this basis, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 determines which nutrients should be supplemented or which nutrients should be avoided according to the nutritional intake status of the user. Then, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 finds the dish 24 that can effectively supplement the nutrition that the user lacks or effectively prevent the excessive intake of certain nutrients from the dish nutritional information 23 in the dish information memory unit 22, and determines the recommended dish 42.

[0057] Furthermore, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 outputs the information of the recommended dish 42 together with the information of the recommended dish providing store 44 of the dish providing store where the recommended dish 42 is located to the communication control unit 50. Furthermore, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 combines the information of the recommended dish 42 and the recommended dish providing store 44 to calculate the reason for recommendation 46 from a nutritional point of view, the index 48 of the suitability of the recommended dish 42 and the user from a nutritional point of view, and outputs the information to the communication control unit 50.

[0058] There is no particular limitation on the specific method by which the nutritional balance determination unit 40 extracts the recommended dishes from the user's dietary information 33 and the nutritional information 23 of the dishes. For example, a method may be used in which dishes that are close to the appropriate values ​​from a nutritional point of view based on the intake of specified nutrients (such as calorie intake, purine intake, and salt intake) in a specified period are recommended dishes. In addition, as another method, it is also possible to determine the lack of specific nutrients (such as "vegetables", "protein", "vitamins", etc.) based on past dietary information, and then recommend dishes rich in the nutrients as recommended dishes. In addition, as another method, if it is found from past dietary information that a certain nutrient (such as "alcohol", "lipid", etc.) is excessively consumed, it is possible to recommend dishes that contain almost no such nutrient or that help digest or decompose the excess nutrient as recommended dishes 42.

[0059] In addition, for example, if the user's dietary information 33 includes information on alcoholic beverages that the user has consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 extracts a recommended dish 42 to prevent the user from consuming too much alcohol in a specified period. In addition, for example, if the user's dietary information 33 includes information on calories that the user has consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 extracts a recommended dish 42 to prevent the user from consuming too much or too little calories in a specified period.

[0060] In addition, the recommendation reason 46 calculated by the nutritional balance determination unit 40 may include, but is not limited to, "low in calories", "rich in vegetables", "good for the body", etc. The index 48 calculated by the nutritional balance determination unit 40 may be a star rating, such as a 3-level or 5-level rating (see Fig. 9) or numerical values ​​(such as 10 or 100 ratings), but are not limited to these.

[0061] In addition, when extracting the recommended dishes 42, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 may comprehensively utilize information other than the user's dietary information 33 and the dish nutritional information 23 to extract the recommended dishes 42. For example, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 may extract the recommended dishes 42 from Figure 2 The position information acquisition unit 70 shown acquires the position information 93 of the user information terminal device 92a, and further reads the geographical information 28a of the food providing store, thereby extracting only the food provided by the food providing store located around the user terminal device 92a as the extraction objects of the recommended food 42.

[0062] In addition, for example, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can extract a recommended dish 42 using the user's physical information 39a or dietary preference information 39c stored in the user information management unit 30 based on the user's dietary information 33 and the dish nutritional information 23. The nutritional balance determination unit 40 can extract a recommended dish 42 that is more suitable for a specified user by considering the user's physical information 39a such as weight and basal metabolism, and dietary preference information 39c such as likes and dislikes.

[0063] also, Figure 7 The nutritional balance determination unit 40 shown may extract one recommended dish 42 and a recommended dish providing store, or may extract a plurality of recommended dishes 42 and a plurality of recommended dishes providing stores 44.

[0064] Figure 2 The communication control unit 50 shown sends information about the recommended dishes 42 extracted by the nutritional balance determination unit 40 and the recommended dishes providing store 44 providing these dishes to the user information terminal device 92a through communication. The communication control unit 50 is composed of a signal conversion device such as a modem or an ONU, or a signal conversion device and a processor that controls the input and output of these signals, but is not limited to these devices.

[0065] In addition, if Figure 7 As shown, when the nutritional balance determination unit 40 calculates the recommendation reason 46 and the index 48, the communication control unit 50 can send the relevant information of the recommended dish 42 and the recommended dish providing store 44 to the user terminal device 92a together with the recommendation reason 46 and the index 48. In this way, the user can understand the recommendation reason 46 and the index 48 of the recommended dish 42, and the server device 12 can also improve the user's motivation to take the recommended dish 42 that is suitable from a nutritional point of view.

[0066] In addition, the communication control unit 50 not only receives information about the recommended dishes 42 from the nutritional balance determination unit 40 and sends it to the user terminal device 92a, but also reads information such as the business hours of the store 44 providing the recommended dishes, or information such as the price of the recommended dishes 42 from the dish information memory unit 22, and sends it to the user terminal device 92a.

[0067] In addition, the communication control unit 50 may also send other food providing stores other than the recommended food 42 and the food information they provide to the user terminal device 92a. For example, the server device 12 may determine whether there are food providing stores other than the recommended food providing store 44 around the user terminal device 92a by comparing the location information 93 of the user terminal device 92a with the geographical information 28a of the food providing store. If there are, the geographical information 28a of these food providing stores may also be sent to the user terminal device 92a through the communication control unit 50.

[0068] Figure 8 is an example of Figure 1 The flowchart of the processing performed by the information providing system 10 of the food providing store shown in FIG. Figure 8 In step 001, the server device 12 receives a signal from the user terminal device 92a requesting to search for recommended dishes. In step 001, the server device 12 receiving the request for searching for recommended dishes first Figure 7 The nutritional balance determination unit 40 shown in FIG. 1 reads the user dietary information 33 of the user who is the requester from the dietary information storage unit 32 of the user information management unit 30 (see FIG. 1 ). Figures 2 to 4 ).

[0069] In step S003, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 determines the nutritional status of the user based on the user's dietary information 33, and sets the cooking conditions that the user should take in the next meal from a nutritional point of view, that is, the search conditions for recommended dishes. At this time, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can narrow down the search conditions for recommended dishes based on the user's settings, etc., taking into account the geographical information 28a of the restaurant providing the dishes, the business model information 29b, the location information 93 of the user terminal device 92a, and the dietary preference information 39c of the user.

[0070] In step S004, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 compares the search conditions set in step S003 with the search conditions of the cooking nutritional information 23 stored in the cooking information storage unit 22, thereby extracting the recommended cooking 42 (see Figure 7 When extracting the recommended dishes 42, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 not only considers the nutritional information 23 of the dishes, but also comprehensively considers the geographical information 28a of the restaurant providing the dishes, the dish price information 26, etc., so that the dishes more suitable for the user can be further searched.

[0071] In step S005, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 sends the recommended dish 42 extracted in step S004 and the recommended restaurant 44 providing the recommended dish 42 to the user. Figure 7 The communication control unit 50 shown transmits the recommendation reason 46, index 48 and the like to the user terminal device 92a.

[0072] In step S006, the user terminal device 92a (see Figure 1 ) to display the search results. Fig. 9 FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram of an example of search result display content displayed on the user terminal device 92a. Fig. 9 As shown, the display unit of the user terminal device 92a will list the recommended dishes 42, the recommended restaurant 44 and other restaurants providing dishes (on the left side of the screen). At the same time, the recommended restaurant 44 and other restaurants providing dishes will also be displayed on a map of the relevant area.

[0073] Here, in step S005, when information is transmitted from the server device 12 to the user terminal device 92a, the communication control unit 50 distinguishes the geographic information 28a of the recommendable restaurant 44 located within the location range of the user terminal device 92a from the geographic information 28a of other restaurant providing restaurants located within the location range but not the recommendable restaurant 44, and transmits the information to the user terminal device 92a. In this way, in step S006, if Fig. 9 On the map shown, the locations (addresses) (1) to (3) of the recommended food restaurants 44 are displayed separately from the locations (addresses) (4) and (5) of the food restaurants that are not recommended. In addition, when there is at least one food provider that is a recommended food provider 44 within the location range of the user terminal device 92a, the communication control unit 50 distinguishes the geographical information of the recommended food provider 44 from the geographical information of the non-recommended food providers and sends the information to the user terminal device 92a.

[0074] In step S007, the server device 12 receives the food order information and the payment information related to the order from the user terminal device 92a. Fig. 9 The list display portion of the recommended food providing store 44 and other food providing stores shown can be expanded by further selecting the display portion. After the user selects the recommended food providing store 44 displayed on the user terminal device 92a from the list, the display portion of the user terminal device 92a will display detailed information (such as price, etc.) of the recommended food 42 and food content, business hours, etc. other than the recommended food 42.

[0075] In addition, Fig. 9 On the screen where the recommended restaurant 44 is selected and expanded from the list shown, an icon for ordering the recommended dish 24 provided by the recommended restaurant 44 is displayed, and the user can place an order for the recommended dish 24 with the recommended restaurant 44 by selecting the icon. Figure 1 The communication control unit 50 of the server device 12 shown in the figure can receive order information 51 from the user terminal device 92a indicating that the user intends to order a recommended dish, and send the order information 51 received from the user terminal device 92a to the recommended dish providing store that provides the recommended dish (see Figure 1 ).

[0076] In this way, the food providing store that receives the order information 51 from the server device 12 can prepare to quickly provide the ordered food when the user arrives at the store. Figure 1 The user terminal device 92a shown in the figure can not only order food, but also pay for the order. That is, the communication control unit 50 of the server device can receive Figure 1 The order information 51 and the payment information 53 indicating the user's payment intention are sent to the designated payment institution 96 (see Figure 1 The payment institution 96 collects fees from the user and pays the fees to the food provider, mediating the payment between the user and the food provider.

[0077] In step S008, the usage information acquisition unit 76 of the server device 12 acquires the meal providing store usage information 29da (see Figure 5 ), which indicates that the food ordered by the user will be taken. In addition, in step S008, the food providing store utilization information 29da (refer to Figure 5 ) is combined with the cooking nutrition information 23 in the cooking information memory unit 22 to update the user's dietary information 33 stored in the dietary information memory unit 32. In this way, Figure 1 The information providing system of the food providing store shown can obtain the nutritional information of the food that the user has consumed in the past or plans to consume in the future, and automatically update the content of the user's food information 33, even if the user does not input the food information that he intends to consume.

[0078] In step S009, for example, based on the content of the user's dietary information 33 updated in step S008, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 will evaluate the nutritional status of the user after taking the food ordered in step S007. In addition, if the nutritional balance determination unit 40 determines that there is a certain deviation in the nutritional status of the user after taking the ordered food, the system can also extract the recommended food that should be taken in the next meal or the next day's diet, and transmit it to the user terminal device 92a through the communication control unit 50.

[0079] This situation is likely to occur, for example, when the user orders a dish other than the recommended dish in step S007. In step S009, the user can order the recommended dish newly extracted by the nutritional balance determination unit 40, and thus maintain a good nutritional balance in a longer period of time even if the user has consumed dishes other than the recommended dishes in the recent diet.

[0080] Furthermore, according to the information providing system 10 of this food providing store, users are urged to order future food in advance, thereby helping to reduce food waste in the food providing store. User dietary information 33, such as the user's past cooking records and future cooking plans, can be read by accessing the server device 12 through the user terminal device 92a. In this process, the user dietary information 33 can be displayed on the display unit of the user terminal device 92a in the form of a calendar based on the date and time of the meal 36. In this way, users can easily check their own cooking records (including future reservations) through the information providing system 10 of the food providing store. In addition, the user dietary information 33, etc., is displayed by the user terminal device 92a. Figure 3 All or part of the information managed by the user information management unit 30 shown may be stored in the memory unit of each user terminal device 92a, 92b, 92c.

[0081] In this way, the information providing system 10 of the food providing store described in the embodiment not only memorizes the food nutrition information 23, but also records the nutrition information of the food that the user has taken in the past and in the future. Through this information, it is possible to pay attention to the health of the user and provide the user with diversified and non-single recommended food information. In other words, the information providing system 10 of the food providing store not only considers the nutrition information of a single dish, but also considers the nutrition balance over multiple times or longer periods of time, so as to ensure that the user has a wider range of choices when choosing food, and can make healthier and more diverse dietary suggestions. In addition, the information providing system 10 of the food providing store also supports the user's diversified diet life by providing information on food providing stores that the user has never visited and food that he has never tried.

[0082] The above describes the information providing system 10 for a food providing store through the embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and obviously also includes other embodiments and variations. Fig. 9 In the example shown, recommended food providing stores and non-recommended food providing stores are displayed separately. However, if a plurality of recommended food providing stores are to be displayed, food providing stores having higher recommended food providing indices may be displayed separately on the map.

[0083] That is, Figure 7 The communication control unit 50 shown in the figure, after acquiring the location information from the user terminal device 92a, if a plurality of recommendable dish providing stores 44 and their recommendable dishes 42 are extracted within a specified range, the communication control unit will distinguish the geographical information of the recommendable dish providing store with the highest index 48 from the geographical information of other recommendable dish stores among the plurality of recommendable dishes 42, and communicate it to the user terminal device 92a. In this way, the user can more easily identify the location of the recommendable dish providing store that provides the best recommendable dish through a map or the like.

[0084] For example, Figure 7 The nutritional balance determination unit 40 shown can select the user's dietary information for searching for the recommended dish 42 after obtaining the scheduled intake date and time of the user searching for the recommended dish 42. That is, when understanding the nutritional status of the user, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can trace back the nutritional information of the dishes ingested within a certain period of time from the scheduled intake date and time through the user's dietary information (1) 34, user dietary information (2) 34a, user dietary information (6) 34e, etc. stored in the food information memory unit 32, so as to extract the recommended dish. In this way, even if the scheduled intake date and time of the recommended dish is far away from the recommended dish search (for example, a few days, weeks or months later), the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can still predict the nutritional status of the user when the recommended dish is ingested, thereby extracting the recommended dish.

[0085] In addition, for example, when the nutritional balance determination unit 40 grasps the nutritional status of the user through the user dietary information 34 stored in the food information memory unit 32, it can set a different date with the same day of the week and time as the scheduled intake time as the determination reference time, and extract recommended dishes by tracing back the nutritional information of the meals ingested within a certain period of time from the determination reference time. Fig.10 Another example of user dietary information memorized by the dietary information memory unit 32 is shown, which includes user dietary information 36f of nutritional information of dishes that the user has consumed in the past (i.e., before the search date March 6) or that the user plans to consume in the future (i.e., after the search date March 6), and is memorized and displayed in calendar form.

[0086] For example, Fig.10As shown, when the scheduled intake time is 19:00 on March 17, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can set the determination reference time to a different date of the same week and time as the scheduled intake time, i.e., 19:00 on March 3, and extract the recommended dishes. In this way, even if the user's dietary information 36f is not recorded or the information is less in the time period before and after the scheduled intake time (19:00 on March 17), the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can still infer the user's nutritional status at the scheduled intake time by appropriately setting the determination reference time different from the scheduled intake time, thereby extracting the recommended dishes suitable for the user.

[0087] In addition, for example, when the nutritional balance determination unit 40 grasps the nutritional status of the user through the user dietary information 34 stored in the dietary information memory unit 32, different dates of the same season and time as the scheduled intake time can be set as the determination reference time, and the recommended dishes can be extracted by determining the nutritional information of the dishes ingested within a certain period of time before and after the reference date. For example, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can set a certain day a full year before the scheduled intake time as the determination reference time, or set a certain date of the previous year or the year before last in the same season as the scheduled intake time as the determination reference time. In this way, even if the user's dietary information 40 is not recorded or the information is less before and after the scheduled intake time, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can still infer the nutritional status of the user at the scheduled intake time based on factors such as the periodicity of the nutritional status, thereby extracting the recommended dishes suitable for the user.

[0088] In addition, for example, the user information management unit 30 can store the user's physical information 39a including age, weight, height, gender, basal metabolic rate, standard calorie intake, etc., as well as BMI, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, blood oxygen concentration, urine test, blood test and other specimen tests, or image examination, electrocardiogram, brain wave examination and other clinical examination examination values ​​and levels. As the examination values ​​and levels included in the user's physical information 39a, for example, there can be listed the examination values ​​and levels of AST, ALT, γ-GTP, ALP, ChE, LDH, bilirubin, HBs antigen, HBs antibody, HCV antibody, total cholesterol, neutral fat, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, blood sugar, HbA1c, uric acid, C-reactive protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine, e-GFR, amylase, white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin amount, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, platelet count, AFP quantitative, CEA, prostate PSA, CA125, CA15-3, esterase, CYFRA, CA19-9, etc. The user information management unit 30 can obtain these values ​​and levels through the user terminal device 92a or a wearable device such as a smart watch or activity meter that can communicate with the user terminal device 92a.

[0089] The nutritional balance determination unit 40 can extract the recommended dishes 42 based on the user's dietary information 33 and the nutritional information 23 of the dishes, or by using the user's physical information 39a such as the examination values ​​and levels of BMI, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, blood oxygen concentration, urine test, blood test, and the like and the information of the change trend thereof instead of the user's dietary information 33. In addition, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can also calculate the standard value of the cumulative value of nutrients that can be ingested within a prescribed time period from the user's physical information 39a such as BMI, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, blood oxygen concentration, urine test, blood test, and compare it with the nutritional cumulative value information of the dishes ingested by the user in multiple meals, thereby extracting the recommended dishes 42. In this way, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can extract more suitable recommended dishes 42 according to the individual health conditions of each user. In addition, by using the user's physical information 39a as a supplement or a substitute for the user's dietary information 33, the nutritional balance determination unit 40 can still extract more suitable recommended dishes 42 for each user even when the user's dietary information 33 is insufficient or missing.

[0090] In addition, Figure 1 In the food providing store information providing system 10 shown in the figure, based on the user's advance settings through the user terminal device 92a, etc., the communication control unit 50 can automatically order and pay for food, and automatically send the information of the recommended food 42 and the recommended food store 44 to the user terminal device 92a through communication at a specific time after the order is placed. For example, the food providing store information providing system 10 can automatically complete the order and payment of lunch food on a weekday (a designated day, multiple days, or all weekdays) of the next month at a specific time before the next month. In this case, the processing of the information providing system 10 and the user Figure 8 The series of processes described are basically the same. However, the difference is that step S001 is automatically started at a specific time, and the extraction results of the recommended dishes are directly transmitted to the user terminal device through communication, steps S005 to S007 are omitted, the extracted recommended dishes are automatically ordered through the communication control unit 50, and at a specific time before the meal time for automatic ordering (for example, one day before the meal or one hour before the meal, etc.), the communication control unit 50 sends the information of the automatically ordered recommended dishes 42 and the recommended restaurant 44 to the user terminal device 92a to notify the user.

[0091] The information providing system 10 with such an automatic meal ordering function can not only automatically manage the health of the user, but also promote the reservation of orders from the food providing store, so it can be expected to effectively reduce food waste. Figure 1The ordering information (including ordering information 51 and automatic ordering information) performed by the communication control unit 50 shown is sent to the recommended food providing store, and is not limited to being sent only to the server managed by the recommended food providing store, but also includes being sent to the order management server that receives orders from the recommended food store, etc. [Description of Reference Numerals]
