[0039] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] With the development of intelligence, before storing food, relevant information of the food can be pre-entered, which is convenient for intelligent management of food such as remote control, freshness warning, and food distribution. However, the food information entry process in the related technology is relatively cumbersome. For example, in the related technology, before storing food in the refrigerator, it is necessary to click on the application (Application, referred to as App) related to food information entry on the user terminal to enter the App, and in the application interface of the App, click on the food information entry interface associated with food entry, and enter the food information in the interface. Finding an App related to food information entry among the many Apps in the main interface of the user terminal, and finding the food information entry interface in the App and then entering the information is a cumbersome process that consumes a lot of time.

[0041] In view of the above problems, the present disclosure proposes a food information entry method, user terminal, food storage device, medium and program product, aiming to solve the above problems. Before this, the present disclosure first introduces the application environment involved in the food information entry method, please refer to Figure 1 The food information entry system 100 includes a food storage device 110 and a user terminal 120. When the food storage device 110 and the user terminal 120 are in contact, the user terminal 120 automatically opens the food information entry interface of the food management application, and the user can directly enter the food information on the food information entry interface, avoiding the tedious process of manually opening the food information entry interface in the related art.

[0042] Optionally, see Figure 1The food information entry system 100 further includes a router 130 and a cloud server 140. The user terminal 120 uploads the food information entered through the food information entry interface to the cloud server 140, and the food storage device 110 downloads the food information from the cloud server 140 through the router 130, so that the food storage device 110 can manage the food stored therein according to the food information.

[0043] Exemplarily, the food storage device 110 may be a refrigerator, a freezer, a vending machine, etc., and the user terminal 120 may be a smart phone, a smart watch, a tablet computer, etc.

[0044] To this end, the present disclosure provides a method for inputting food information. Figure 2 The food information input method can be applied to Figure 1 The user terminal 120 shown, Figure 3 The user terminal 200 shown, Figure 6 The user terminal 800, computer program product and computer readable storage medium shown in FIG. This embodiment is applied to a user terminal as an example, wherein the user terminal can be, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a smart watch, a tablet computer, etc. Figure 2 The process shown in FIG. 1 is described in detail. The method for entering food information may include the following steps: Step S1: After the user terminal contacts the food storage device, an interface for inputting food information is displayed.

[0045] When a user holds or wears a user terminal near the food storage device, the user terminal comes into contact with the food storage device, and the food input interface is automatically displayed on the user terminal. It is easy to understand that any interface can be displayed on the user terminal, and after the user terminal comes into contact with the food storage device, the user terminal automatically jumps to the food information input interface. Optionally, any interface can be the main interface, or it can be a chat interface of an instant messaging software, a shopping interface, a video playback interface, etc.

[0046] If the distance between the user terminal and the food storage device is less than a preset distance, the user terminal and the food storage device may be considered in contact. For example, if the preset distance is 2 cm, and the distance between the user terminal 120 and the food storage device is 0 cm, the distance 0 cm is less than the preset distance 2 cm, and the user terminal and the food storage device may be considered in contact. Alternatively, if the distance between the user terminal and the food storage device is 0.5 cm, the distance 0.5 cm is less than the preset distance 2 cm, and the user terminal and the food storage device may be considered in contact.

[0047] In one embodiment, a device tag is provided on the food storage device. After the user terminal contacts the food storage device, the user terminal reads the device tag through a near field communication technology and automatically opens a food information entry interface.

[0048] It should be noted that the preset distance can be determined based on the near-field communication technology used in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, if the near-field communication technology is NFC (Near Field Communication), the preset distance can be 1 to 4 centimeters. Alternatively, the preset distance can be 1 centimeter, 2 centimeters, 4 centimeters, etc. For another example, if the near-field communication technology is RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), the preset distance can be 10 centimeters.

[0049] It should also be noted that the short-range communication technology applied in this embodiment is not limited to NFC technology and RFID technology, and may also include Bluetooth technology, Zigbee technology, etc.

[0050] Step S2: inputting food information based on the food information input interface.

[0051] Based on the food information entry interface, the user enters food information according to the food to be stored.

[0052] In one embodiment, the ingredient information entry interface allows for voice input of the ingredient information. Specifically, the ingredient information is input via voice based on the ingredient information entry interface. Exemplarily, a microphone function is enabled in the ingredient information entry interface, and voice is collected via the microphone based on the ingredient information entry interface to input the ingredient information.

[0053] As a method, the microphone function is automatically activated when the food information entry interface is displayed. Then, based on the food information entry interface, the microphone collects voice to enter the food information. The user only needs to express himself through voice, without any additional operation, further simplifying the food information entry process.

[0054] As another method, there is a voice input control on the food information entry interface. The user operates the voice input control, manually turns on the microphone function, and cooperates with the microphone on the user terminal to collect voice through the microphone to enter the food information. For example, the operation can be a click operation or a long press operation.

[0055] In the case where there are multiple information entry methods on the food information entry interface, for example, the information entry methods include at least two of the following: entry by voice, entry by text, and entry by taking a photo. The user operates the voice input control on the food information entry interface and enters food information according to user needs and preferences, which can improve the user experience.

[0056] Optionally, the user terminal may send the recorded content to a voice server connected to the user terminal for analysis, and the voice server may parse out the food information.

[0057] In another embodiment, the food information entry interface can be used to enter food information in text format. For example, a text box is provided on the food information entry interface, and the user can enter food information through the text box to achieve food information entry. Optionally, in order to standardize the management of food information, a text box is provided on the food entry interface for each food information item to be stored. For example, "Food Name" is displayed on the food entry interface, and a text box is provided after it to facilitate the user to enter the food name. "Shelf Life" is displayed on the food entry interface, and a text box is provided after it to facilitate the user to enter the shelf life of the food.

[0058] In another embodiment, the food information entry interface allows food information to be entered by taking a photo. For example, a photo control is provided on the food information entry interface. When the user clicks the photo control, they take a photo of the food to be stored to obtain an image of the food. The image is then sent to a cloud server, which recognizes the image of the food to obtain the food information, thereby enabling food information entry.

[0059] The food information entry method provided in this embodiment automatically displays the food information entry interface after the user terminal contacts the food storage device, and enters the food information based on the food information entry interface. By automatically opening and displaying the food information entry interface, the food information entry process is simplified and the food information entry time can be shortened.

[0060] In one embodiment, the food storage device is provided with a device tag based on near-field communication technology, and step S1 can be implemented as follows: after the user terminal contacts the device tag of the food storage device, the food information entry interface is displayed based on the near-field communication technology.

[0061] The food storage device is equipped with a device tag based on near-field communication technology, and the user terminal is correspondingly equipped with a function to read the device tag. After the user terminal comes into contact with the device tag of the food storage device, due to its device tag reading function, it reads the information carried in the device tag and displays the food information entry interface.

[0062] For example, an NFC device tag is provided on a food storage device, and an NFC chip is provided on a user terminal. After the user terminal contacts the food storage device, the NFC chip on the user terminal reads the NFC device tag on the food storage device, reads the information carried in the NFC device tag, and displays the food information entry interface according to the information.

[0063] As one method, after the user terminal contacts the device tag of the food storage device, interface information is read from the device tag based on the short-range communication technology; and the food information entry interface is displayed based on the interface information.

[0064] The interface information is pre-entered in the tag. Optionally, the interface information includes the package name of the food entry application to which the food information entry interface belongs and / or the path information of the food information entry interface.

[0065] For example, the interface information includes the package name of the food entry application to which the food information entry interface belongs and the path information of the food information entry interface. After the user terminal comes into contact with the device tag of the food storage device, it reads the package name and path information from the device tag based on short-range communication technology, enters the food entry application according to the package name, and automatically opens the food information entry interface according to the path information.

[0066] Optionally, the interface information also includes an information entry method, which includes at least two of the following: voice entry, text entry, and photo entry. Based on the information entry method, the corresponding function on the ingredient information entry interface is automatically opened, eliminating the need for the user to manually select, further simplifying the ingredient information entry process.

[0067] The information entry method included in the interface information can be pre-set. The information entry method included in the interface information can also be set according to user preferences. For example, after the user terminal displays the food information entry interface, the user selects an information entry method based on the food information entry interface. After selecting a preset number of times N, the most commonly used information entry method among the preset number of times N is determined as the interface information, that is, the information entry method selected the most times among the preset number of times N is used as the interface information. Then, after the preset number of times N is selected, after the user terminal contacts the food storage device, the food information entry interface information entry method of the food entry application is automatically enabled for food information entry based on the package name of the food entry application, the path information of the food information entry interface, and the information entry method.

[0068] In this embodiment, after the user terminal comes into contact with the device tag of the food storage device, the interface information is read from the device tag based on short-range communication technology; based on the interface information, the food information entry interface is automatically displayed without the need for cumbersome operations, shortening the opening time of the food information entry interface and facilitating the subsequent rapid entry of food information.
