Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] Hereinafter, the recipe management system of the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, components having the same or similar functions are denoted by the same reference numerals. And redundant descriptions of those components may be omitted. In the present application, “based on XX” means “based on at least XX”, and may include cases based on another element in addition to XX. Also, “based on XX” is not limited to the case of directly using XX, and may include cases based on something obtained by performing calculations or processing on XX. In the present application, “XX or YY” is not limited to either XX or YY, and may include both XX and YY. This is the same when there are three or more selective elements. XX and YY are arbitrary elements (for example, arbitrary information).

[0008] In the present application, “remote operation” is not limited to operating a home appliance from outside the residence where the home appliance is placed, and may include operating the home appliance using a terminal device inside the residence where the home appliance is placed. In the present application, “database” is denoted as “DB”.

[0009] (First Embodiment) <1. Overall Configuration of Recipe Management System> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the recipe management system 1 according to the first embodiment. The recipe management system 1 includes, for example, one or more cooking heaters 100, a server 200, and a terminal device 300. Note that one or more of the cooking heater 100, the server 200, and the terminal device 300 may be provided as components external to 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, LPWA (Low Power Wide Area), WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network), or other public or dedicated lines, which may be used according to the situation.

[0010] The cooking heater 100 is one of home appliances and is arranged inside the user U's residence. The cooking heater 100 is, for example, a microwave oven, an oven range, or a toaster. The cooking heater 100 is connected to the network NW via a wireless router WR and a modem M installed inside the user U's residence. The cooking heater 100 can communicate with the server 200 or the terminal device 300 via the network NW.

[0011] Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, an example in which a first oven range 100A and a second oven range 100B are arranged as the cooking heater 100 will be described. The first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B are cooking heaters of the same type but different models. The first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B have different heating performances due to, for example, the size of the internal space, the size and type of the heating device, or other reasons. Therefore, the recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A and the recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B are managed separately.

[0012] The first oven range 100A is an example of a "first cooking appliance". The second oven range 100B is an example of a "second cooking appliance". Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, when the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as the "oven range 100". Note that the "oven range 100" in the following description can be appropriately read as the "cooking appliance 100".

[0013] The server 200 is a management server that manages the cooking appliance 100. The server 200 is composed of one or more server devices (for example, a cloud server). The server 200 may be referred to as a "server system". The server 200 can communicate 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 (for example, a wireless router WR).

[0014] The terminal device 300 is a terminal device used by the user U of the cooking appliance 100. The terminal device 300 is, for example, a portable terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal device. However, the terminal device 300 is not limited to a portable terminal device, and may be a personal computer or the like. The terminal device 300 includes a display device 301 including a display screen 301a capable of displaying various information, and an input device 302 capable of receiving an input from the user U. The input device 302 is, for example, a touch panel provided overlapping the display screen 301a of the display device 301. The input device 302 may include a camera, a microphone, etc. provided in the terminal device 300.

[0015] An application program P is installed in the terminal device 300, and the functions described below are supported. The application program P is an application program for managing the cooking heater 100. The application program P is used, for example, for remotely operating the cooking heater 100 and using services related to the cooking heater 100. Hereinafter, the application software launched by the execution of the application program P is referred to as "home appliance management app APP".

[0016] <2. Oven Range> First, the oven range 100 will be described in detail. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the oven range 100. The oven range 100 includes, for example, a heating device 110, a communication unit 120, and a control unit 130.

[0017] 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 can communicate with the network NW via the wireless router WR and the modem M. The control unit 130 receives a control command for the oven range 100 from the server 200 via the communication unit 120. The control command received from the server 200 includes information indicating a control amount related to heating (such as heating at 500 W for 5 minutes). The control unit 130 can control the heating device 110 based on the control command received from the server 200.

[0018] <3. Server> FIG. 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 favorite registration unit 230, a recipe providing unit 240, and a storage unit 280.

[0019] The machine registration unit 210, the recipe registration unit 220, the favorite registration unit 230, and the recipe providing 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 the cooperation of software and hardware. Also, these functional units may be provided separately in a plurality of server devices. Further, 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.

[0020] <3.1 Machine Registration Unit> The machine registration unit 210 performs machine registration of the oven range 100 in response to a request from the terminal device 300 (i.e., an application from the user U). Machine registration means associating a specific user U with the oven range 100 that the user U can use. Machine registration is performed, for example, by registering the correspondence between user information (e.g., user ID) that can identify the user U and device information (e.g., device ID) that can identify the individual of the oven range 100. In the present embodiment, the above correspondence is registered in the device registration DB 281 stored in the storage unit 280. The device ID is, for example, the manufacturing number of the oven range 100. Note that machine registration may be performed by associating a specific terminal device 300 used by the user U with a specific oven range 100 instead of associating a specific user U with a specific oven range 100.

[0021] The device registration unit 210 accepts device registration of a plurality of oven ranges 100 that can be used by the user U. Further, 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 the oven range 100S (hereinafter referred to as the "specific oven range 100S") that the user U mainly uses among the plurality of oven ranges 100 for which device registration has been performed. The registration of the specific oven range 100S is performed, for example, by registering in the device registration DB 281 the correspondence relationship between user information (e.g., user ID) that can identify the user U and device information (e.g., device ID) that can identify the individual of the specific oven range 100S. In the present embodiment, only one specific oven range 100S is registered. When there is only one oven range 100 for which device registration has been performed, the device registration unit 210 registers the oven range 100 as the specific oven range 100S without any operation by the user U.

[0022] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the device registration DB 281. In the device registration DB 281, for example, user ID, device ID, the model of the oven range 100, and information indicating whether it is the specific oven range 100S are registered in association with each other.

[0023] When the device registration unit 210 performs device registration of the oven range 100, it transmits information indicating the oven range 100 for which device registration has been performed to the terminal device 300. Further, when the device registration unit 210 performs registration or change of the specific oven range 100S, it transmits information indicating the registered or changed specific oven range 100S to the terminal device 300. The information indicating the oven range 100 for which device registration has been performed and the specific oven range 100S is stored in the storage unit 380 of the terminal device 300 as device registration information 381, which will be described later.

[0024] <3.2 Recipe Registration Unit> The recipe registration unit 220 accepts the registration of recipes. For example, the recipe registration unit 220 accepts the registration of a recipe 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 the recipe DB 282 stored in the storage unit 280. Each recipe includes, for example, the title of the dish, a thumbnail image, the recipe content (ingredients, quantities, cooking methods, etc.) of the dish, and information indicating the heating settings of the oven range 100. The "heating settings" include, for example, the output wattage of the oven range 100 and the heating time (heating at 500 W for 5 minutes, etc.). Hereinafter, the information indicating the heating settings is referred to as "heating information".

[0025] In the present 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,.... A plurality of recipes corresponding to the oven ranges 100 in the first group (the first model or the oven ranges 100 having the same heating settings as the first model) are registered in the first recipe DB 282a. A plurality of recipes corresponding to the oven ranges 100 in the second group (the second model or the oven ranges 100 having the same heating settings as the second model) are registered in the second recipe DB 282b. A plurality of recipes corresponding to the oven ranges 100 in the third group (the third model or the oven ranges 100 having the same heating settings as the third model) are registered in the third recipe DB 282c. The first model, the second model, and the third model have different heating performances due to, for example, the size of the internal space, the size and type of the heating device, or other reasons. The above-described first oven range 100A is, for example, an oven range included in the first group. The above-described second oven range 100B is, for example, an oven range included in the second group.

[0026] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the content of the recipe DB 282. In the recipe DB 282, for example, a management ID, the title of the dish, a thumbnail image, the recipe content, and the heating information of the oven range 100 are registered in association with each other.

[0027] <3.3 Favorite Registration Section> The favorite registration section 230 accepts registration of one or more recipes selected by the user U as favorite recipes from among a plurality of recipes registered in the recipe DB 282. For example, the favorite registration section 230 accepts registration of favorite recipes in response to a request (application from the user U) from the terminal device 300. Registration of a favorite recipe is performed, 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 section 280.

[0028] FIG. 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. Recipes included in the first recipe DB 282a, the second recipe DB 282b, or the third recipe DB 282c, etc. are registered in the favorite recipe DB 283 without distinction. In other words, favorite recipes are centrally managed for a plurality of oven ranges 100 of different types.

[0029] <3.4 Recipe Provision Section> The recipe provision section 240 provides a recipe service. The recipe service is, for example, a service related to the provision of recipes. The recipe provision section 240 provides recipes based on the recipe DB 282 stored in the storage section 280.

[0030] In the present embodiment, the recipe provision section 240 provides a browsing function for browsing the recipes registered in the recipe DB 282. For example, the recipe provision section 240 identifies the recipe to be browsed included in the recipe DB 282 based on the operation of the user U on the terminal device 300, and transmits information indicating the identified recipe to the terminal device 300.

[0031] Also, in this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 provides a transmission function for transmitting heating information to the oven range 100 in which device registration has been performed. For example, the recipe providing unit 240 acquires the heating information of the oven range 100 included in the selected recipe. Then, the recipe providing unit 240 transmits the heating information included in the selected recipe to the oven range 100. This function will be described in detail later.

[0032] <3.5 Memory Unit> The memory unit 280 is realized by a combination of, for example, RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM), or SSD (Solid State Drove). The memory unit 280 stores the device registration DB 281, the recipe DB 282, and the favorite recipe DB 283.

[0033] <4. Terminal Device> Next, the terminal device 300 will be described in detail. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the terminal device 300. The terminal device 300 includes, for example, a registration reception unit 310, a display control unit 320, an operation reception unit 330, and a memory unit 380.

[0034] 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 an 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.

[0035] <4.1 Registration Reception Unit> The registration reception unit 310 receives an application for device registration of the oven range 100, an application for registration or change of the specific oven range 100S, an application for registration of a favorite recipe, etc., based on the operation of the user U on the operation reception unit 330 described later. In this application, "receiving an application for registration" or "receiving registration" is not limited to the case where the registration process is completed on the terminal device 300, and may include the case where the operation of the user U instructing device registration (i.e., an application for registration) is received on the terminal device 300 and the actual registration process is performed on the server 200.

[0036] <4.2 Display control unit> The display control unit 320 controls the content displayed on the display screen 301a of the display device 301 by controlling the display device 301 of the terminal device 300. For example, the display control unit 320 controls the display on the display screen 301a based on the 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.

[0037] <4.3 Operation reception unit> The operation reception unit 330 receives the operation of the user U performed on the input device 302 in relation to the home appliance management application APP. For example, the operation reception unit 330 receives the operation of the user U on the operation unit (e.g., a virtual button displayed on the display screen 301a) displayed on the display screen 301a. The operation reception unit 330 transmits a signal corresponding to the operation unit operated by the user U to the server 200. Thereby, the process corresponding to the operation unit operated by the user U is performed by the server 200.

[0038] <4.4 Storage unit> The storage unit 380 is implemented by a combination of, for example, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, or SSD. The storage unit 380 stores the application program P and the device registration information 381. In the device registration information 381, a list of the ovens 100 for which device registration has been performed in association with the user U is registered. Also, in the device registration information 381, the latest specific oven 100S is registered.

[0039] <5. Recipe Service> Next, the recipe service provided by the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 will be described in detail. The displays described below are, unless otherwise specified, displayed on the display screen 301a of the terminal device 300 by the processing of the display control unit 320 based on the 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. Even in such a case, in the present application, it is referred to as "displayed by the recipe providing unit". Also, the operations on each operation unit described below are received by the operation reception unit 330 of the terminal device 300 unless otherwise specified.

[0040] (Top screen of the home appliance management app) FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the top screen (home screen) D1 of the home appliance management app APP. The top screen D1 includes, for example, a first function area R11 and a second function area R12.

[0041] The first functional area R11 is a functional area corresponding to "home appliance control (home appliance operation)". When the device registration of the oven range 100 is performed, an operation unit B1 for operating the oven range 100 is displayed in the first functional area R11. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the device registrations of the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B are performed, and as a result, as a plurality of operation units B1, an operation unit B1a for operating the first oven range 100A and an operation unit B1b for operating the second oven range 100B are displayed. An operation screen (setting screen) (not shown) that transitions by operating the operation unit B1 can accept the operation of the user U who changes the specific oven range 100S between the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B.

[0042] 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 home appliance related services. FIG. 8 shows an example in which, as a plurality of operation units B2, an operation unit B2a for using the "ingredient management service" and an operation unit B2b for using the "recipe service" are displayed.

[0043] (Top screen of the recipe service) FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the top screen D2 of the recipe service. The top screen D2 of the recipe service is transitioned and displayed from the top screen D1 when an operation unit B2b corresponding to the "recipe service" is operated (for example, tapped) on the top screen D1 of the home appliance management application. 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.

[0044] In this embodiment, the display control unit 320 causes the top screen D2 of the recipe service to display a selection area R20, a first recipe display area R21, and a second recipe display area R22. That is, the display control unit 320 causes the selection area R20, the first recipe display area R21, and the second recipe display area R22 to be displayed on one screen. In this application, "display on one screen" means "display on a single, continuous screen". That is, "display on one screen" is not limited to being displayed within a screen that can be visually recognized at one time (for example, within the display screen 301a), and may also include cases where it is displayed in order by scrolling from a state where a part is hidden with respect to the screen that can be visually recognized at one time.

[0045] In the selection area R20, a list of the ovens 100 for which device registration has been performed is displayed, and an operation unit 511 for changing a specific oven 100S among the list of the ovens 100 is displayed. For example, the user U can change the specific oven 100S by checking the operation unit 511 corresponding to the oven 100 that the user U wants to set as the specific oven 100S. If it is possible to change the specific oven 100S on another operation screen, the selection area R20 may be omitted.

[0046] In the first recipe display area R21, a list of recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S is displayed among the plurality of recipes registered in the recipe DB282. In the present application, "a list of recipes is displayed" or "recipes are displayed" is not limited to the case where the details of the recipes are displayed, and may include the case where only the title or thumbnail image of the recipe is displayed together with the operation unit for transitioning to the detailed screen of each recipe. In the present embodiment, as a list of recipes, the title or thumbnail image of each recipe is displayed so as to overlap with the operation unit 512 for transitioning to the detailed screen of each recipe. The same applies to the favorite recipes with respect to this display mode. Further, in the first recipe display area R21, an operation unit 513 for additionally displaying recipes that cannot be completely displayed in relation to the area of the first recipe display area R21 among the plurality of recipes registered in the recipe DB282 is displayed. The first recipe display area R21 is an example of the "first area".

[0047] In the present embodiment, the display control unit 320 transmits a transmission request (acquisition request) for information indicating a list of recipes to the server 200, the transmission request including information indicating the specific oven range 100S registered in the device registration information 381. The recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 extracts the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from the recipe DB282 in response to the above transmission request and transmits them to the terminal device 300. Thereby, the recipe providing unit 240 selects only the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S among the plurality of recipes registered in the recipe DB282 and displays them in the first recipe display area R21.

[0048] The second recipe display area R22 is an area distinguished from the first recipe display area R21 on the display screen 301a. In the second recipe display area R22, a list of recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S is displayed among the favorite recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB 283. In other words, in the present embodiment, the presence or absence of display of each favorite recipe is changed according to whether the favorite recipe corresponds to the specific oven range 100S. Further, in the second recipe display area R22, an operation unit 514 is displayed for additionally displaying recipes that cannot be fully displayed in terms of the area of the second recipe display area R22 among the plurality of recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB 283. The second recipe display area R22 is an example of the "second area".

[0049] In the present embodiment, the display control unit 320 transmits a transmission request (acquisition request) for information indicating a list of favorite recipes to the server 200, the transmission request including information indicating the specific oven range 100S registered in the device registration information 381. The recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 extracts the favorite recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from the favorite recipe DB 283 in response to the above transmission request and transmits them to the terminal device 300. Thereby, the recipe providing unit 240 selects only the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S among the favorite recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB 283 and displays them in the second recipe display area R22.

[0050] (Recipe Details Screen) FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a detailed screen D3 of an individual recipe. The detailed screen D3 of the recipe is transitioned and displayed from the top screen D2 when an operation unit 512 corresponding to each recipe is operated (for example, tapped) on the top screen D2 of the recipe service. In the present embodiment, the detailed screen D3 of the recipe includes a detailed display area 521, an operation unit 522, and an operation unit 523.

[0051] The content of the recipe is displayed in the detailed display area 521. The content of the recipe includes, for example, the ingredients, quantities, and cooking methods of the recipe.

[0052] The operation unit 522 is an operation unit for registering favorite recipes, and accepts operations by the user U for registering the currently displayed recipe as a favorite recipe. For example, when the operation unit 522 is operated (e.g., tapped), the currently displayed recipe is registered as a favorite recipe. On the other hand, when the currently displayed recipe has already been registered as a favorite recipe, the registration as a favorite recipe is cancelled by operating the operation unit 522 (e.g., tapping).

[0053] 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 for transmitting heating information is sent from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the server 200 transmits the heating information to the specific oven range 100S.

[0054] (Screen transition due to change of the specific oven range 100S) FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the screen transition due to the change of the specific oven range 100S. (a) in FIG. 11 shows the top screen D2 of the recipe service when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S. As shown in (a) in FIG. 11, when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S, in the first recipe display area R21, a list of recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A among the plurality of recipes included in the recipe DB282 (recipes A1 to A8) is displayed, and in the second recipe display area R22, only a list of favorite recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A among the favorite recipes included in the favorite recipe DB283 (recipes A1, A2, A3) is displayed.

[0055] In (b) of FIG. 11, 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), the top screen D2 of the recipe service is shown. As shown in (b) of FIG. 11, when the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S, in the first recipe display area R21, a list of recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B (recipes B1 to B8) among the plurality of recipes included in the recipe DB 282 is displayed, and in the second recipe display area R22, only a list of favorite recipes (recipes B1, B2, B3) corresponding to the second oven range 100B among the favorite recipes included in the favorite recipe DB 283 is displayed.

[0056] <6. Control Flow> Next, an example of the control flow will be described. FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the control flow. For example, when an operation unit B2b corresponding to the recipe service is operated on the top screen D1 of the home appliance management app APP, the display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 transmits a transmission request (acquisition request) for information indicating a list of recipes and a list of favorite recipes to be displayed on the top screen D2 of the recipe service to the server 200 (S101). For example, the above transmission request includes information specifying the specific oven range 100S obtained based on the device registration information 381. Note that the above transmission request may not include information specifying the specific oven range 100S. In this case, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 may specify the specific oven range 100S based on the device registration DB 281 of the server 200.

[0057] 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 a plurality of recipes registered in the recipe DB 282, and also selects a favorite recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among a plurality of recipes registered in the favorite recipe DB 283 (S102). Next, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 transmits information indicating the list of the selected recipes and the list of the favorite recipes to the terminal device 300 (S103). Thereby, the display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 displays the top screen D2 of the recipe service including the list of the selected recipes and the list of the favorite recipes (S104).

[0058] Next, when the operation receiving unit 330 of the terminal device 300 receives an operation of the user U who selects one recipe from the displayed list of recipes or the list of favorite recipes, the terminal device 300 transmits a transmission request (acquisition request) for the detailed information of the recipe to the server 200 (S105). When the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 receives the above transmission request, it acquires the detailed information of the recipe from the recipe DB 282 and transmits the acquired detailed information of the recipe to the terminal device 300 (S106). In the present embodiment, information indicating that the recipe corresponds to the specific oven range 100S (that heating information can be transmitted) is added together with the detailed information of the recipe.

[0059] The display control unit 320 of the terminal device 300 displays the detailed screen D3 of the recipe based on the detailed information of the recipe 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 the information indicating that the recipe received from the server 200 corresponds to the specific oven range 100S (that heating information can be transmitted).

[0060] When the operation unit 523 is operated in the terminal device 300, the operation reception unit 330 transmits a transmission request for heating information from the terminal device 300 to the server 200 (S108). When the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 receives the transmission request for 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). Thereby, the specific oven range 100S performs a heating setting for the heating device 110 based on the heating information (S110).

[0061] <7. Advantages>

[0062] In the present embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 changes the display of the favorite recipe according to whether the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. According to such a configuration, the user U can easily know the favorite recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. Thereby, the convenience can be improved.

[0063] In the present embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 selects and displays a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among a plurality of 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. According to such a configuration, the user U can easily know a list of recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S and a list of favorite recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. Thereby, the convenience can be further improved.

[0064] In the present embodiment, when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 causes a list of recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A among the plurality of recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220 to be displayed in the first recipe display area R21, and causes a list of recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A among one or more favorite recipes to be displayed 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 causes a list of recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B among the plurality of recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220 to be displayed in the first recipe display area R21, and causes a list of recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B among one or more favorite recipes to be displayed in the second recipe display area R22. According to such a configuration, it is possible to easily know the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S and the favorite recipes, and since the list of recipes and the list of favorite recipes are displayed in different areas respectively, it is possible to more easily know the list of favorite recipes separately from the list of normal recipes. Thereby, further improvement in convenience can be achieved.

[0065] (Second Embodiment) Next, the second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that recipes are displayed regardless of whether the favorite recipes are recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, and the display mode of the favorite recipes or the functions provided for the favorite recipes are changed according to whether each favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. The configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0066] (Top Screen of Recipe Service) FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining screen transitions due to changes in the specific oven range 100S of the second embodiment. (a) in FIG. 13 shows the top screen D2 of the recipe service when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S. As shown in (a) of FIG. 12, when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S, in the first recipe display area R21, only a list of recipes (recipes A1 to A8) corresponding to the first oven range 100A among the plurality of recipes included in the recipe DB282 is displayed.

[0067] On the other hand, even when the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S, in the second recipe display area R22, a list of favorite recipes (recipes A1 to A3, recipes B1 to B3) corresponding to all the oven ranges 100 (the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B) for which device registration has been performed among the favorite recipes included in the favorite recipe DB283 is displayed. In other words, in this embodiment, for favorite recipes, all recipes are displayed regardless of whether they are recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. In this application, "all recipes are displayed" may include cases where, for example, they are not displayed on the top screen D2 of the recipe service but can be additionally browsed in response to an operation of the operation unit 514.

[0068] In this embodiment, in the second recipe display area R22, the plurality of favorite recipes are displayed in a predetermined order (for example, the order of new registration in the recipe DB282) regardless of whether they are recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A or the second oven range 100B. That is, the recipes corresponding to the first oven range 100A and the recipes corresponding to the second oven range 100B are displayed in a mixed state.

[0069] In (b) of FIG. 13, 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) is shown. As shown in (b) of 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 is displayed in the first recipe display area R21 among the plurality of recipes included in the recipe DB282.

[0070] On the other hand, even when the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S, in the second recipe display area R22, a list of favorite recipes (recipes A1 to A3, recipes B1 to B3) corresponding to all the oven ranges 100 (the first oven range 100A and the second oven range 100B) for which device registration has been performed is displayed among the favorite recipes included in the favorite recipe DB283. That is, the same recipes are displayed in the second recipe display area R22 whether the first oven range 100A is registered as the specific oven range 100S or the second oven range 100B is registered as the specific oven range 100S.

[0071] (Recipe details screen) In the present embodiment, on the recipe details screen D3, depending on whether the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, the display mode of the favorite recipe or the functions provided for the favorite recipe are changed.

[0072] FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the difference in the recipe detail screen D3 when the favorite recipe corresponds to the specific oven range 100S and when it does not. (a) in FIG. 14 shows the recipe detail screen D3 when the favorite recipe corresponds to the specific oven range 100S. As shown in (a) in FIG. 14, when the favorite recipe corresponds to the specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 provides a transmission function of transmitting heating information as an example of a function provided for the favorite recipe. The recipe providing unit 240 causes the operation unit 523 for transmitting the heating information to be displayed in a first mode (for example, color) indicating that it is in an active state. When the operation unit 523 is operated (for example, tapped), a transmission request for the 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.

[0073] On the other hand, (b) in FIG. 14 shows the recipe detail screen D3 when the favorite recipe does not correspond to the specific oven range 100S. As shown in (b) in FIG. 14, when the favorite recipe does not correspond to the specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 does not provide a transmission function of transmitting heating information. The recipe providing unit 240 causes the operation unit 523 for transmitting the heating information to be displayed in a second mode (for example, gray) indicating that it is in an inactive state. In this case, even if the operation unit 523 is operated, a transmission request for the heating information is not transmitted from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the heating information is not transmitted from the server 200 to the oven range 100.

[0074] In the control flow of this embodiment, the transmission request in the process of S105 described with reference to FIG. 12 includes information for specifying a specific oven range 100S obtained based on the device registration information 381. Note that the above transmission request may not include information for specifying the specific oven range 100S. In this case, the recipe providing unit 240 of the server 200 may specify the specific oven range 100S based on the device registration DB 281 of the server 200. And when the recipe for which detailed information is requested is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, in the process of S106, together with the detailed information of 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.

[0075] (Advantage) Here, as a comparative example, consider the case where the favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit are managed individually for each oven range 100. In this case, the user U needs to manage which recipe is registered as a favorite recipe for which oven range 100, and it may be time-consuming to search for a desired favorite recipe.

[0076] 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 a plurality of recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220, and for the favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit 230, regardless of whether the recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, the recipe is displayed, and depending on whether each favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, the display mode of the favorite recipe or the function provided for the favorite recipe is changed. According to such a configuration, the user U can check the favorite recipes without worrying about which recipe is registered as a favorite recipe for which oven range 100, and can easily know whether the recipe that the user is interested in is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. Thereby, the convenience can be improved.

[0077] In this embodiment, the display control unit 320 causes a list of recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S to be displayed in the first recipe display area R21 of the display screen 301a, and causes a list of favorite recipes to be displayed in a second recipe display area R22 that is distinguished from the first recipe display area R21 on the display screen 301a. According to such a configuration, since the favorite recipes are displayed in one place, it becomes easier for the user U to check the favorite recipes. Furthermore, since the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S are displayed separately from the favorite recipes, it becomes easier for the user U to check the recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. Thereby, further improvement in convenience can be achieved.

[0078] In this embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 changes whether or not to provide a transmission function of transmitting heating information included in the favorite recipe to the oven range 100 according to whether or not each favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. According to such a configuration, the user U can easily know whether or not the recipe of concern is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S based on the presence or absence of the transmission function of the heating information. Thereby, further improvement in convenience can be achieved.

[0079] (Third Embodiment) Next, the third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that a list of oven ranges 100 corresponding to the favorite recipe is displayed on the detailed 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.

[0080] FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the screen transition of the recipe details screen D3 of the third embodiment. (a) in FIG. 15 shows the top screen of the recipe details screen D3. In (a) of FIG. 15, when there is an oven range 100 (which may be an oven range 100 other than the specific oven range 100S) corresponding to the displayed recipe (for example, a favorite recipe) among the plurality of oven ranges 100 in which device registration has been performed, the recipe providing unit 240 causes the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information to be displayed in a first mode (for example, color) indicating that it is in an active state.

[0081] In this case, when the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information is operated on the top screen of the recipe details screen D3, as shown in (b) of FIG. 15, an individual screen D4 is displayed. The individual screen D4 displays a list of oven ranges 100 corresponding to the recipe among the plurality of oven ranges 100 in which device registration has been performed (that is, a list of oven ranges 100 that can be selected as the destination for transmitting heating information). The individual screen D4 is an example of a "screen related to a favorite recipe". For example, the recipe providing unit 240 performs the above processing based on the information received from the terminal device 300 based on the device registration information 381 or the information registered in the device registration DB 281.

[0082] On the individual screen D4, an operation unit 531 for selecting an oven range 100 that is the destination for transmitting heating information is displayed from among the plurality of oven ranges 100 corresponding to the recipe. Then, when the operation unit 532 for determining the oven range 100 that is the destination for transmitting heating information is operated in a state where the oven range 100 that is the destination for transmitting heating information has been selected, a request for transmitting heating information is sent from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 selected by the operation unit 531. Then, as shown in (C) of FIG. 15, an individual screen D5 is displayed. The individual screen D5 displays that heating information has been transmitted to the selected oven range 100.

[0083] On the other hand, in (a) of FIG. 15, when there is no oven range 100 corresponding to the recipe being displayed (for example, a favorite recipe) among the plurality of oven ranges 100 for which device registration has been performed, the recipe providing unit 240 causes the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information to be displayed in a second mode (for example, gray) indicating that it is in an inactive state. In this case, even if the operation unit 523 is operated, a request for transmitting 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.

[0084] As described above, in the present embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 selects and displays a recipe corresponding to a specific oven range 100S among the plurality of recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220, and for the favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit 230, the recipes are displayed regardless of whether they are recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, and in the individual screen D4 related to each favorite recipe, a list of oven ranges 100 corresponding to the favorite recipe is displayed. With such a configuration, when device registration of a plurality of oven ranges 100 is performed, the user U can easily know which oven range 100 can transmit heating information. For example, the user U can easily know that the recipe also corresponds to an oven range 100 other than the specific oven range 100S. Thereby, further improvement in convenience can be achieved.

[0085] (Modification example) Instead of the content of the above-described third embodiment, when the recipe being displayed (for example, a favorite recipe) corresponds to the specific oven range 100S, the recipe providing unit 240 causes the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information to be displayed in a first mode (for example, color) indicating an active state. When the recipe being displayed does not correspond to the specific oven range 100S but there is an oven range 100 corresponding to the recipe being displayed, the recipe providing unit 240 causes the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information to be displayed in a second mode (for example, a color different from the first mode). When there is no oven range 100 corresponding to the recipe being displayed, the recipe providing unit 240 may cause the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information to be displayed in a third mode (for example, gray) indicating an inactive state.

[0086] (Fourth Embodiment) Next, the fourth embodiment will be described. The fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that when a certain favorite recipe is selected as a used recipe by the user U and the transmission function of the heating information included in the used recipe is used, the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 registered as the specific oven range 100S when the used recipe 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.

[0087] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the content of the favorite recipe DB 283. In the present embodiment, in the favorite recipe DB 283, the management ID of the recipe registered as a favorite recipe and the information indicating the oven range 100 registered as the specific oven range 100S when the recipe was registered as a favorite recipe are stored in association with each other. This correspondence relationship is performed, for example, by the device registration unit 210. This correspondence relationship 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 the information received from the terminal device 300 based on the device registration information 381 or the information registered in the device registration DB 281.

[0088] FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the screen transition of the recipe detail screen D3 of the fourth embodiment. (a) in FIG. 17 shows the top screen of the recipe detail screen D3. When the operation unit 523 for transmitting heating information is operated on the top screen of the recipe detail screen D3, as shown in (b) in FIG. 17, the individual screen D6 is displayed. On the individual screen D6, the name of the oven range 100 registered as the specific oven range 100S when the recipe was registered as a favorite recipe is displayed, and an operation unit 541 for selecting whether heating information can be transmitted to the oven range 100 is displayed.

[0089] Then, when the operation unit 541 indicating that heating information can be transmitted to the oven range 100 whose name is displayed on the individual screen D6 is operated, a request for transmitting heating information is transmitted from the terminal device 300 to the server 200, and the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100. Then, as shown in (c) in FIG. 17, the individual screen D5 is displayed. On the individual screen D5, it is displayed that heating information has been transmitted to the oven range 100.

[0090] As described above, in the present embodiment, the recipe providing unit 240 selects and displays a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S from among a plurality of recipes registered by the recipe registration unit 220, and for the favorite recipes registered by the favorite registration unit 230, the recipes are displayed regardless of whether they are recipes corresponding to the specific oven range 100S. When one favorite recipe is selected as the used recipe by the user U and the transmission function of the heating information included in the used recipe is used, the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 registered as the specific oven range 100S when the used recipe was registered as a favorite recipe. According to such a configuration, it is possible to transmit heating information to the corresponding oven range 100 without worrying about which recipe was registered as a favorite for which oven range 100. Thereby, further improvement in convenience can be achieved.

[0091] (Fifth Embodiment) Next, the fifth embodiment will be described. The fifth embodiment is different from the fourth embodiment in that when one favorite recipe is selected as the used recipe by the user U and the transmission function of the heating information included in the used recipe is used, the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 that last transmitted the heating information included in the used recipe. The configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the fourth embodiment.

[0092] FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the content of the favorite recipe DB 283. In the present embodiment, in the favorite recipe DB 283, the management ID of the recipe registered as the favorite recipe and the oven range 100 that last transmitted the heating information included in the recipe are stored in association with each other. This correspondence 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 the information received from the terminal device 300 based on the device registration information 381 or the information registered in the device registration DB 281.

[0093] In the present embodiment, when one favorite recipe is selected as the used recipe by the user U and the transmission function of the heating information included in the used recipe is used, the heating information is transmitted to the oven range 100 that last transmitted the heating information included in the used recipe. The details of the present embodiment may be read as "the oven range 100 that last transmitted the heating information included in the recipe" instead of "the oven range 100 registered as the specific oven range 100S when the recipe was registered as a favorite recipe" in the content described in the fourth embodiment. According to such a configuration, it is possible to transmit the heating information to the corresponding oven range 100 without worrying about which recipe was registered as a favorite for which oven range 100. Thereby, further improvement in convenience can be achieved.

[0094] The above describes several embodiments. However, the embodiments are not limited to the above examples. Two or more of the above-described embodiments may be combined and implemented. For example, depending on whether each favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the specific oven range 100S, the display mode of the favorite recipe may be changed in the second recipe display area R22. For example, in the second recipe display area R22, when the favorite recipe corresponds to the specific oven range 100S, it may be displayed in a manner (e.g., color) indicating that the recipe is in an active state, and when the favorite recipe does not correspond to the specific oven range 100S, it may be displayed in a manner (e.g., gray) indicating that the recipe is in an inactive state.

[0095] According to at least one of the embodiments described above, the recipe management system includes a recipe providing unit that changes the presence or absence of display of the favorite recipe, the display mode of the favorite recipe, or the functions provided for the favorite recipe according to whether the favorite recipe is a recipe corresponding to the cooking appliance mainly used or according to whether there is a cooking appliance corresponding to the favorite recipe. With such a configuration, the convenience can be improved.

[0096] Some embodiments of the present invention have been described, but these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.
