Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple recipes are published and stored in a database, then the quantity of recipe information increases, but the ability to accurately determine relevance and independence between recipes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of recipe informationVSAvoidaccuracy of relevance determination
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments recipe information into distinct components: ingredient information, seasoning information, and order information. By dividing recipes into these segments, the system can independently analyze each aspect when determining relevance between recipes, thereby maintaining measurement precision even as the quantity of recipe information increases. The processing unit calculates relevance degrees by comparing corresponding segments separately and combining the results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If recipe similarity is assessed using basic comparison methods, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing precision of relevance assessment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of recipe comparisonVSAvoidprecision of recipe similarity assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of assessment by introducing multiple dimensions of comparison: ingredient information matching, seasoning information matching, and order information matching. Instead of using a single basic comparison parameter, the system evaluates recipes across these multiple parameters and combines them to calculate an overall relevance degree, thereby achieving both ease of operation and high precision in recipe similarity assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If detailed analysis of ingredient, seasoning, and order information is performed, then the measurement precision of recipe independence determination is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of recipe independence determinationVSAvoidcomplexity of information processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex task of recipe independence determination into three separate analysis modules: ingredient information analysis, seasoning information analysis, and order information analysis. Each module independently evaluates its specific aspect and contributes to the overall relevance degree calculation. This segmentation reduces device complexity by organizing the analysis into manageable, modular components while maintaining high measurement precision through comprehensive multi-dimensional assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A technology for judging the relevance or independence between multiple recipes is to be provided. A management device includes a communication unit, a processing unit, and a storage unit. The communication unit acquires a second recipe for a dish created after a first recipe for a dish. The processing unit calculates a first relevance degree that indicates a degree to which the second recipe contains a first related portion related to the first recipe. The processing unit calculates, based on the first related portion, a second recipe independence degree that indicates a degree to which the second recipe contains a second recipe independent portion independent of the first recipe.
