A cooking-recipe display system () according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes, an information terminal () having a display screen and a controller (), a data management part (), and a determination part (). The data management part () includes a recipe group master containing a plurality of cooking recipes, each of which contains both a plurality of procedures indicating a way of cooking a dish and a plurality of ingredients of the dish. The determination part () determines an allocation display format indicating an arrangement, on the display screen, of the plurality of procedures contained one cooking recipe selected from the plurality of cooking recipes. The controller () causes the cooking recipe to be displayed on the display screen in the allocation display format.

Cooking recipe display system, information terminal, cooking recipe display method, and program

A bottle storage includes a housing portion that houses a bottle therein, a cooling-warming portion that is provided around the housing portion, a sensor which detects insertion of the bottle into the housing portion, an image capture portion that captures an image of the bottle housed in the housing portion, a controller that causes the image capture portion to perform image capture for capturing the image of the bottle when the bottle is sensed to be inserted into the housing portion by the sensor, an information manager that identifies at least a brand of the bottle, based on recognition result of the bottle image captured by the control of the controller, and an output portion that outputs characteristics of a beverage of the brand identified by the information manager.

Bottle storage and system

Using a memory that manages a user log including at least a cooking time and a food to be cooked with a cooking device used by each user in a plurality of users, a recommended cooking time corresponding to a first user's food to be cooked included in recommended cooking times for respective foods calculated based on cooking times with the cooking devices is acquired from a server, a user interface that prompts the first user to select one of candidates of cooking times including at least the recommended cooking times is displayed on a display, and in response to detecting that a cooking time is selected by performing an input operation on the user interface, a setting command to set the selected cooking time is output to the first cooking device.

Control method, storage medium, and information providing method

First information including related information relating to a cooking action to be carried out by a cook is acquired, a presentation device is made to present the related information, it is determined whether or not an action of the cook that is specified based on second information is the cooking action, an index indicating a degree of attention of the cook recommended for the cooking action is acquired, and the information amount of the related information presented is altered in accordance with the degree of attention indicated by the acquired index.

Information processing method, information processing system, and terminal

A bottle storage includes: a housing portion that houses a bottle therein; a cooling-warming portion (cooling-warming devices) that is provided around the housing portion; a rotation portion (rotation motor) that rotates the bottle housed in the housing portion; an image capture portion that captures an image of the bottle housed in the housing portion; a controller that controls the bottle rotation performed by the rotation portion and the image capture performed by the image capture portion, based on the bottle image captured by the image capture portion; an information manager (storage manager) that identifies at least a brand of the bottle, based on the bottle image captured by the control of the controller; and an output portion (display portion) that outputs at least one of the brand identified by the information manager and relevant information regarding the identified brand.

A bottle storage includes a container that contains a bottle; a cooling-warming apparatus provided to surround a position where the bottle is contained; and an image capturer that captures an image of the bottle contained in the container. The cooling-warming apparatus has a gap at least at a portion of the cooling-warming apparatus corresponding to at least a part of an image capturing region of the image capturer.

A information processor of a terminal apparatus reads from a memory identification information of a food handling apparatus and a table, identifies a function associated with the identification information of the food handling apparatus received by a information receiver in accordance with the table, and starts up the function.

Terminal apparatus and control method for assistive cooking

A method for distributing information used by an information distribution system includes receiving, from a cooking appliance, first identification information for identifying a first food, first end time information indicating a first end time, at which a first cooking operation performed by the cooking appliance on the first food ends, and first log information indicating an operation output and an operation time of the first cooking operation, obtaining, on the basis of the received first identification information and first log information, first questionnaire information indicating a questionnaire relating to the first food from a memory, and distributing the first questionnaire information or second questionnaire information, which is generated using the first questionnaire information, to the display device if first additional cooking information indicating that the cooking appliance has performed an additional cooking operation on the first food has not been received from the cooking appliance in a first reception period.

Method for distributing information, server apparatus, and network system

A control method for controlling a terminal device includes using a memory that manages cooking appliance logs each including at least a cooking time of a food and first information indicating an age-related deterioration level of one of the cooking appliances to acquire, from among candidates of a recommended cooking time calculated based on the first information and the cooking time and stored in a server apparatus, third information indicating a recommended cooking time corresponding to second information indicating an age-related deterioration level of the first cooking appliance, displaying, on a display, a user interface that allows a user to select one of the candidates including at least the recommended cooking time for the first cooking appliance using the third information, and outputting a setting command for setting the selected cooking time to the first cooking appliance upon detecting selection of one of the cooking times through the user interface.

Control method, recording medium, and information providing method for terminal device and information providing system

Control method of controlling a terminal apparatus connected to a cooking device

A cooking assistance method includes: receiving, from a first food, first food information indicating the first food; receiving appliance identification information for identifying the cooking apparatus for cooking the first food; obtaining first setting details regarding cooking to be performed by the cooking apparatus, based on the received first food information and the received appliance identification information, the first setting details being associated with the first food and the cooking apparatus; and transmitting first setting information indicating the obtained first setting details to the cooking apparatus.
