Device and method for providing guidance for recipe
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for providing and sharing recipes face inefficiencies due to variations in recipe formats, leading to duplication and difficulties in registration, distribution, and search, as well as the need for easier integration of cooking elements and tools in cooking processes.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus and method that includes an input interface, display, communication module, and processor to receive user inputs, send requests to a server for recommended cooking elements based on relevance, and store selected elements for recipe generation and search, utilizing a recipe storage format that organizes cooking elements by type and relevance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If recipes are registered and shared in different formats by various services, then users can access diverse recipes from multiple sources, but recipe duplication occurs and recipe efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies homogeneity by establishing a unified recipe storage format that standardizes how recipes are stored and exchanged across different services. This format includes structured fields for ingredients, cooking steps, and metadata, ensuring all recipes regardless of source follow the same organization pattern, thereby eliminating duplication while maintaining diverse recipe access
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually search and select cooking elements for recipe creation, then recipe customization is possible, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically recommending cooking elements based on the ingredients users select. The server analyzes the chosen ingredients and autonomously suggests appropriate cooking methods, tools, and steps, allowing users to create customized recipes without manually searching through numerous options, thus simplifying the creation process while maintaining customization
3Adaptability or versatility
If cooking elements are not systematically organized by type and relevance, then storage flexibility is maintained, but recipe search and distribution become inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing cooking elements into distinct categories such as ingredients, cooking methods, tools, and steps. Each element is tagged with type identifiers and relevance metadata, allowing the system to maintain flexible storage while enabling efficient search and retrieval operations through structured organization

AI summary
An electronic apparatus and guide method for providing a guidance about a recipe are provided. An electronic apparatus sends a request, according to reception of a user input of inputting a first cooking element, a second cooking element, and a cooking element type, a server for at least one recommended cooking element related to the first cooking element and the second cooking element among a plurality of cooking elements belonging to the cooking element type, receive at least one recommended cooking element set as being associated with the cooking element type, display identification information of the at least one recommended cooking element according to a recommendation order, receive a user input of selecting one of the at least one recommended cooking element as a third cooking element, and store the selected third cooking element as recipe information together with the first cooking element and the second cooking element.
