Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Developing comprehensive programs for cooking robots is challenging due to the need for multiple specialized programs for each cooking operation, making it difficult to increase the variety of dishes and activate the cooking robot ecosystem.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and terminal that acquire and combine pre-developed program modules for each cooking step or operation, allowing for efficient generation and distribution of recipe programs to control cooking robots, modularizing operations for reusability and mass production.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If individual programs are created for each cooking operation to ensure comprehensive control, then the completeness and reliability of the recipe program is improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of development increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the recipe program into multiple independent program modules, where each module corresponds to a specific cooking operation (e.g., cutting, heating, mixing). These modules can be independently developed, tested, and reused across different recipes, thereby maintaining comprehensive control while reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal program modules that can be applied across multiple different recipes and cooking operations. Each module is designed to perform a specific function (e.g., temperature control, ingredient recognition) that can be reused in various cooking contexts, reducing the need to create individual programs for each operation from scratch.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive programs for all cooking operations are developed to activate the cooking robot ecosystem, then the versatility and adaptability of the system is improved, but the productivity and ease of manufacture decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-developing and storing standardized program modules in a database before they are needed for specific recipes. These modules are created in advance and can be quickly retrieved and combined when developing new recipes, eliminating the need to create programs from scratch for each dish.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple program modules to create complete recipe programs. Instead of developing entire recipes as single monolithic programs, the system combines smaller, pre-developed modules that perform specific cooking operations, thereby increasing development speed while maintaining versatility.
3Ease of operation
If modular program structures are used to increase the variety of recipes and activate the ecosystem, then the ease of operation and adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing precision and program quality control becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where program modules are continuously evaluated and refined based on their performance in actual cooking operations. User feedback, cooking results, and operational data are used to improve module quality, ensuring that despite the modular structure, consistent quality standards are maintained across all programs.
