Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to provide consumers with information capable of inducing food demand to consume surplus ingredients by obtaining consumer data and a simple calculation method. A recipe proposal device which proposes a recipe to a consumer inputs ingredient information indicating available ingredients and selects a specific recipe to be proposed to a predetermined consumer from predetermined recipes that the predetermined consumer has browsed in the past on the basis of the recipe in which the ingredients shown in the ingredient information is used.

Claims (47)

1 . A recipe proposal device for proposing a recipe to a consumer, the device comprising a processor configured to execute operations comprising:

receiving ingredients information as input, the ingredients information indicating available ingredients; and

selecting a specific recipe to be proposed to a predetermined consumer from predetermined recipes browsed by the predetermined consumer in the past on the basis of the recipe in which the ingredients indicated by the ingredients information are used.

2 . The recipe proposal device according to claim 1 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

transmitting recipe information relating to the specific recipe to the communication terminal of the predetermined consumer.

3 . The recipe proposal device according to claim 2 , the processor further configured to execute operations comprising:

receiving, from the communication terminal, browsing information indicating a situation in which content of the recipe based on the recipe information has been browsed on the communication terminal of the predetermined consumer on the basis of the transmission of the recipe information; and

determining the browsing information as information identifying the predetermined recipe browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past.

4 . The recipe proposal device according to claim 1 , wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the specific recipe to be proposed to the predetermined consumer among the predetermined recipes browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past in accordance with the similarity with the recipe in which the ingredients indicated by the ingredients information are used.

5 . The recipe proposal device according to claim 4 , wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the specific recipe using the similarity obtained by a first feature amount calculated on the basis of information indicating the predetermined recipe browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past and a second feature value calculated based on the information indicating the recipe in which each ingredient indicated by the ingredient information is used.

6 . The recipe proposal device according to claim 3 , wherein

the determining the browsing information further comprises:

determining, as at least a part of the browsing information, consumer identification information, the consumer identification information identifying a predetermined consumer who has browsed in the past and recipe identification information, and the recipe identification information indicating the predetermined recipe associated with the consumer identification information, and

associating and determining a feature value calculated on the basis of information indicating the predetermined recipe browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past and recipe identification information indicating the predetermined recipe, and

the selecting further comprises selecting the specific recipe using the feature amount corresponding to the specific recipe information on the basis of the specific recipe information.

7 . A recipe proposal method, for proposing a recipe to a consumer, comprising:

receiving ingredient information as input, the ingredient information indicating available ingredients;

selecting a specific recipe to be proposed to a predetermined consumer from predetermined recipes browsed by the predetermined consumer in the past on the basis of the recipe in which the ingredients indicated by the ingredients information are used.

8 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer system to execute operations comprising:

receiving ingredients information as input, the ingredients information indicating available ingredients; and

selecting a specific recipe to be proposed to a predetermined consumer from predetermined recipes browsed by the predetermined consumer in the past on the basis of the recipe in which the ingredients indicated by the ingredients information are used.

9 . The recipe proposal device according to claim 2 , wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the specific recipe to be proposed to the predetermined consumer among the predetermined recipes browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past in accordance with the similarity with the recipe in which the ingredients indicated by the ingredients information are used.

10 . The recipe proposal method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

transmitting recipe information relating to the specific recipe to the communication terminal of the predetermined consumer.

11 . The recipe proposal method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving, from the communication terminal, browsing information indicating a situation in which content of the recipe based on the recipe information has been browsed on the communication terminal of the predetermined consumer on the basis of the transmission of the recipe information; and

determining the browsing information as information identifying the predetermined recipe browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past.

12 . The recipe proposal method according to claim 7 , wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the specific recipe to be proposed to the predetermined consumer among the predetermined recipes browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past in accordance with the similarity with the recipe in which the ingredients indicated by the ingredients information are used.

13 . The recipe proposal method according to claim 12 , wherein the selecting further comprises selecting the specific recipe using the similarity obtained by a first feature amount calculated on the basis of information indicating the predetermined recipe browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past and a second feature value calculated based on the information indicating the recipe in which each ingredient indicated by the ingredient information is used.

14 . The recipe proposal method according to claim 11 , wherein

the determining the browsing information further comprises:

determining, as at least a part of the browsing information, consumer identification information, the consumer identification information identifying a predetermined consumer who has browsed in the past and recipe identification information, and the recipe identification information indicating the predetermined recipe associated with the consumer identification information, and

associating and determining a feature value calculated on the basis of information indicating the predetermined recipe browsed by a predetermined consumer in the past and recipe identification information indicating the predetermined recipe, and

the selecting further comprises selecting the specific recipe using the feature amount corresponding to the specific recipe information on the basis of the specific recipe information.

15 .
