Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cooking technologies struggle to achieve high reproducibility of dish finishes due to variations in cooking skills, instrument usage, and environmental conditions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that record and reproduce cooking processes by holding recipe data with specific cooking steps and target states defined by measurable parameters like temperature, time, and weight, and controlling cooking work based on this data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a plurality of applications are operated in an environment where resources are shared among the applications, then resource utilization is improved, but security between applications deteriorates due to potential contamination through shared resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the shared resource space into isolated containers (virtual machines or containers) where each application runs in its own segmented environment. This segmentation allows multiple applications to share physical resources while maintaining security boundaries that prevent contamination between them, thus resolving the contradiction between resource utilization and security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a containerization layer as an intermediary between applications and shared resources. This intermediary provides isolation mechanisms that allow secure sharing of resources while preventing direct access and potential contamination between applications, thereby maintaining both resource utilization and security.
2Reliability
If security measures are strengthened to prevent contamination between applications, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal containerization framework that provides security isolation across multiple applications through a standardized mechanism. This multi-functional approach handles security, resource management, and isolation in a unified system rather than requiring separate complex security measures for each application pair, thus improving security while controlling complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The containerization system provides self-service isolation mechanisms where each application container manages its own resource access and security boundaries automatically. This reduces the need for complex external security management while maintaining reliable isolation between applications.
3Reliability
If virtual machine isolation is used to ensure security, then security between applications is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to overhead of managing multiple virtual machines
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs containerization technology that nests isolated application environments within the host system without requiring full virtual machine overhead. This nested structure provides security isolation similar to virtual machines but with reduced resource consumption and management overhead, thus improving productivity while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses lightweight container instances that can be rapidly created and destroyed compared to heavy virtual machines. These disposable-like container units provide necessary security isolation but with minimal overhead, improving system productivity while maintaining security between applications.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of enhancing reproducibility of a finish of a dish. An information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present technology performs: holding recipe data including at least information indicating a content of cooking work and information indicating a target state, for each of a plurality of cooking steps in which the target state is individually defined by a value of a target parameter including a parameter based on sensor data measurable at a time of cooking; and controlling the cooking work on the basis of the recipe data until a state of cooking in each of the cooking steps reaches a state defined as the target state. The present technology can be applied to a system that assists cooking in a kitchen.
