Cooking Support Display System Marker-Based Image Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cooking support devices struggle to seamlessly switch between different procedural images during cooking tasks, leading to user confusion and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
A display system comprising a sensor, a display device, and a processing device that acquires information from a marker, displays images corresponding to specific cooking procedures, and updates the displayed images based on re-acquired information, allowing for smooth progression through cooking steps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cooking support device displays images concerning cooking procedures, then the user can receive work support, but the user cannot appropriately switch the projected image to desired images
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a sensor to detect the marker on the ingredient and provides feedback by displaying the appropriate cooking procedure image. When the user moves or replaces the ingredient, the sensor re-detects the marker and updates the displayed image accordingly, creating a closed-loop feedback system that automatically switches images based on ingredient state changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically switching displayed images based on ingredient detection. The sensor continuously monitors for ingredient markers and the control unit automatically updates the display without requiring manual user input, allowing the system to serve itself in managing the workflow guidance.
2Reliability
If the system continuously monitors the marker to enable image switching, then the image switching becomes responsive, but the measurement and detection difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The marker is attached to the ingredient in advance before the cooking process begins. This preliminary placement of the marker allows the sensor to easily detect and track the ingredient throughout the cooking procedure, establishing a reliable detection mechanism before any switching is needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses visual markers with distinct color patterns that are easily distinguishable by the sensor. The marker's visual characteristics enable reliable detection and differentiation, allowing the system to accurately identify ingredient presence and trigger appropriate image switches based on color and pattern recognition.

AI summary
A display method includes acquiring first information from a marker in which the first information is recorded, displaying an image concerning a first procedure in work corresponding to the first information, acquiring the first information from the marker again after the displaying the image concerning the first procedure, and, after the acquiring the first information again, displaying an image concerning a second procedure performed later than the first procedure in the work, the second procedure corresponding to the first information.
