Solution Overview
Problem
Users of cooking appliances face challenges in adjusting parameters safely and reliably, especially when executing menu recipes for the first time, which can lead to failures and safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
A registration method that tracks the execution history of block sequences in appliances, incrementing execution counts for specific blocks and similar blocks, and registering blocks with high execution counts as 'repeatedly trustable' blocks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users freely adjust parameters of cooking appliance using external terminal, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to increased risk of failure in adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-registers trusted block sequences based on historical execution data before users attempt to execute them. By preparing verified parameter combinations in advance and making them available for selection, the system enables easy operation while ensuring reliability through pre-validation of the parameter sets.
Solution Approach 2:
The system collects execution history data from multiple appliances and uses it to identify and register trusted block sequences. This feedback loop continuously improves the pool of reliable parameter combinations, allowing the system to recommend proven-safe settings to users, thus maintaining both ease of operation and reliability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users execute menu recipe for the first time, then adaptability is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to increased risk of failure
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces trusted block sequences as an intermediary between the appliance's control system and user operations. These pre-validated parameter combinations act as a buffer that guides first-time users through safe parameter adjustments, enabling adaptability while maintaining reliability through the mediating layer of pre-tested configurations.
3Reliability
If system registers repeatedly trustable blocks based on execution history, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control program is divided into discrete functional blocks that can be independently analyzed and tracked. By segmenting the control logic into modular units with specific functions (heating, stirring, timing), the system can efficiently monitor execution counts of individual blocks without requiring complex analysis of entire parameter sets, thus improving reliability while managing complexity.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus at least includes a processing unit and a registration unit. The processing unit increases, in a history DB showing a history of execution of a block sequence, an execution count of a first block included in the block sequence executed by an appliance and increases, in the history DB, an execution count of a second block similar to the first block. The registration unit registers, in the history DB, a block for which the execution count is a predetermined number of times or more as a repeatedly trustable block.
