Real-Time Cooking Profile Feedback for Dish Reproduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cooking assistance systems lack the ability to guide cooks in taking appropriate actions based on the cooking situation, leading to difficulties in reproducing the finish of a dish, even when heating conditions are accurately replicated, due to variations in ingredient amounts and handling techniques.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that presents real-time cooking profile data to the cook, allowing comparison with reference data through visual and auditory feedback, using time series graphs, histograms, heat maps, and music expressions, to help align cooking actions with the target state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a large number of applications are displayed in a list format, then the user can access more applications, but the screen becomes cluttered and difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application list into multiple pages, with each page displaying a limited number of applications (e.g., 5-10 apps). Users can navigate between pages using touch gestures or buttons, which organizes the large number of applications into manageable groups. This segmentation reduces the clutter on each screen while maintaining access to all applications through page navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a temporal dimension to application access by implementing a recently used applications feature. Frequently accessed applications are displayed in a separate section or prioritized in the list, allowing users to quickly access recent apps without scrolling through the entire list. This adds a time-based organization layer to the spatial list structure.
2Loss of time
If the system stores history information for all applications, then the user can access recently used apps quickly, but the memory consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by storing history information selectively rather than uniformly for all applications. It prioritizes storing data for frequently used applications or applications that are currently visible on the screen, while using less storage for rarely accessed apps. This selective approach maintains quick access to important apps while reducing overall memory consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by maintaining history information for only a limited number of recent applications (e.g., the most recent 5-10 apps) rather than storing complete history for all applications. This partial storage approach provides sufficient recent app access functionality while significantly reducing memory requirements compared to storing comprehensive history data.
3Quantity of substance
If the display resolution is increased to show more applications, then the information density increases, but the battery consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by updating the application list display in batches rather than continuously. When navigating through application pages, the system refreshes and renders only the currently visible page or section of applications, rather than continuously updating the entire list. This periodic rendering reduces the overall display refresh workload and associated battery consumption while maintaining information density.
