  The input operation in the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 may be performed in accordance with the line of sight 2b detected by the image processing unit 125 based on the image of the line-of-sight recognition camera 19 under the control of the control unit 121. Specifically, the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 performs an input operation by detecting the line of sight 2b when the wearer 2 looks at the icon image for operation input displayed on the monitor display unit 17 by the information display unit 124. . For example, when an icon image displayed at a predetermined coordinate on the monitor display unit 17 and an order display window overlap due to the detection result of the line of sight 2b, an input operation corresponding to the icon image is accepted. Hereinafter, the input operation of the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 corresponding to the line of sight 2b described above is referred to as a line-of-sight operation. The wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 can save the labor by the manual input of the wearer 2 by receiving the line-of-sight operation of the wearer 2. This line-of-sight operation is particularly effective when the wearer 2 is cooking.

  Next, the operation of the order system according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a ladder chart showing an example of the operation of the ordering system according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the order terminal 35 accepts an order input such as a customer table that has received an order, the number of customers, order items, and the number of orders (S1), and notifies the order management server 30 of the accepted order as order information. (S2).

  The order management server 30 registers the order information notified from the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 (S3), and notifies the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 of the registered order information and its order number (S4). The wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 displays a list of order items included in the order information notified from the order management server 30 on the monitor display unit 17 (S5).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of the monitor display unit 17, more specifically a diagram showing a display example of order information notified from the order management server 30. In FIG. 4, the line-of-sight marker G1 is a marker displayed on the monitor display unit 17 in accordance with the detection result of the line of sight 2b. The order display window G2 is a display window for displaying the notified order information. The order icons G21 to G23 are icons corresponding to each order item included in the order information. The cooking method display icon G24 is an icon for receiving a cooking method display instruction by a line-of-sight operation. The cooking order setting icon G25 is an icon for accepting a setting instruction for setting the cooking order of each order item displayed in the order display window G2 by a line-of-sight operation.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in S5, the order information notified from the order management server 30 is displayed in the order display window G2. Specifically, order icons G21 to G23 corresponding to each order item included in the order information are displayed in the order display window G2. Thereby, the cook can check each order item included in the order information.

  Further, when each order item included in the order information is displayed in the order display window G2 in S5, a cooking method display instruction that explains the cooking procedure of each order item is performed by voice operation or line-of-sight operation. Accept. Specifically, in the case of voice operation, a cooking instruction display instruction is specified by identifying a predetermined word corresponding to dictionary data from voice input. For example, a cooking instruction display instruction is received from a voice input such as “cooking procedure display” or “cooking method display”. In the case of the line-of-sight operation, when the wearer 2 looks at the cooking method display icon G24 and detects that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the cooking method display icon G24 for a predetermined time, the display instruction of the cooking method is received. .

  Further, when each order item included in the order information is displayed in the order display window G2 in S5, a setting instruction for setting the cooking order of each order item before the above-described cooking method display instruction. Is received by a voice operation or a line-of-sight operation in the same manner as the display instruction of the cooking method. Specifically, in the case of voice operation, “order 1” is switched from voice input such as “cooking order setting” to an operation mode for setting the cooking order (hereinafter referred to as cooking order setting mode), and then voice input. , “Order 2”, “Order 3”, etc., the order of cooking is set from the order of the ordered items. In the case of the line-of-sight operation, when the wearer 2 looks at the cooking order setting icon G25 and detects that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the cooking order setting icon G25 for a predetermined time, the mode is switched to the cooking order setting mode. Next, the wearer 2 looks at the order icons G21 to G23 sequentially, and detects the order in which the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the order icons G21 to G23 for a predetermined time, thereby setting the cooking order. In addition, when there is no instruction | indication of the setting of the cooking order mentioned above, the order set beforehand, such as an order with a young order number shall be applied as a cooking order.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 refers to the cooking method data stored in the ROM, the storage, or the like when the instruction to display the cooking method of each order item is received by voice operation or line-of-sight operation in S5. Then, the cooking method of each order item is sequentially displayed on the monitor display unit 17 in the set cooking order (S6).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating cooking method data D1. As shown in FIG. 5, in the cooking method data D1 of each cooking item stored in the ROM or storage, output data, work time, and waiting time are set for each cooking procedure. The output data is data for showing the detailed contents of the procedure to the cook by displaying on the screen. Specifically, it may be text data describing the contents of the cooking procedure, still image data, moving image data, or an address indicating the storage location of the above-described data.

  The work time is an estimate of the time required for the cook to work in each cooking procedure. For example, the work performed by the cook includes preparing ingredients and cooking utensils, cutting the ingredients, baking, and seasoning. Therefore, in the working time, the cook needs to concentrate on the work, and other work cannot be performed in parallel. The waiting time is an estimate of the waiting time required for the procedure to be completed after the cook's work. For example, the waiting time includes the time from when the food is boiled by the cook's work until the food is boiled, the time from when the cooker's work heats the pot filled with water until the water boils, etc. is there. Thus, during the waiting time, the cook can perform other operations in parallel.

  FIG. 5 illustrates cooking method data of bird salad, small dragon wrap, and ramen. For example, in the chicken salad cooking method data, the work time is 2 minutes and the waiting time is 2 minutes for the first procedure, and the work time is 1 minute and the waiting time is 3 minutes for the next procedure. In the recipe data of Xiaolongbao, the first procedure has a work time of 10 minutes and no waiting time. In the ramen recipe data, the work time for the first procedure is 1 minute and the waiting time is 15 minutes.

  Here, the cooking method of each order item displayed on the monitor display unit 17 will be described in detail with reference to the cooking method data of the bird salad, small dragon wrap, and ramen illustrated in FIG. In addition, the cooking order of each order item shall be set in the order of bird salad, small dragon wrap, and ramen.

  First, in S6, for the bird salad whose cooking order is first, the output data concerning the first procedure of the cooking method data is read and displayed on the monitor display unit 17. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of the monitor display unit 17, specifically a screen showing a first procedure for order items (bird salad). In FIG. 6, a cooking method display window G3 is a window for displaying the cooking method of the ordered item. The cooking method display window G3 has a status display area G31 and a cooking method display area G32. The status display area G31 shows the name of the order item currently displaying the cooking method, information indicating the order of the order item, information on the procedure counting the waiting time, etc. This is an area for displaying the status. The cooking method display area G32 is an area for displaying the read output data. The instruction icon G33 is an icon for receiving a display instruction for the next procedure through a line-of-sight operation.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in S6, the status relating to the cooking method such as “bird salad” and “procedure 1” is displayed in the status display area G31, and the output data read as the first procedure for the bird salad is displayed. It is displayed in the cooking method display area G32. Thereby, the cook using the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 can advance cooking while confirming the first procedure of the bird salad.

  In S6, when a display instruction for the next procedure is received by a voice operation or a line-of-sight operation, output data for the next procedure is read and displayed on the monitor display unit 17. Specifically, in the case of a voice operation, a display instruction for the next procedure is received from a voice input such as “display next procedure”. In the case of the line-of-sight operation, when the wearer 2 looks at the instruction icon G33 and detects that the line-of-sight marker G1 overlaps the instruction icon G33 for a predetermined time, the display instruction of the next procedure is accepted.

  Here, the display of the next procedure with respect to the currently displayed procedure is as follows. If there is no waiting time setting in the currently displayed procedure, the procedure 1 → procedure 2 ... the procedure 1 for the small dragon wrapping → the procedure 2 for the ramen The order set as the cooking order, such as Procedure 1 → Procedure 2...

  However, in the first procedure for the bird salad, the work that the chef does is until the bean sprouts are started. And even if it accepts the display instruction of the next procedure after finishing the work, it is possible to perform other work in parallel for 2 minutes which is the waiting time until the bean sprouts, but the bird salad The following procedure cannot be performed.

  Therefore, when there is a waiting time setting in the currently displayed procedure, the waiting time is started to be counted, and the procedure of the other ordered items that are expected to be finished with the waiting time during the counting is displayed. Specifically, the work times of the other ordered items are sequentially read in the order set as the cooking order, and the work time shorter than the waiting time during counting is displayed as the next procedure.

  In the example of FIG. 5, when the first procedure for the bird salad is displayed and there is a display instruction for the next procedure, the working time of the first procedure is read in the order of small dragon parcel → ramen. For the first procedure of Xiaolongbao, the work time is 10 minutes, and it is not expected that the work will be completed in 2 minutes, which is the waiting time of the first procedure of the bird salad that has started counting. As for the first procedure of ramen, since the work time is 1 minute, it can be expected that the work will be completed in a waiting time of 2 minutes when counting is started. Therefore, the output data relating to the first procedure of the ramen is read and displayed on the monitor display unit 17.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of the monitor display unit 17. Specifically, the display of the first procedure of the order item (ramen) displayed when there is an instruction to display the next procedure in FIG. 6. It is a figure which shows a screen. As shown in FIG. 6, in the status display area G31, in addition to “ramen”, “procedure 1”, etc., “bird salad” which is an order item for which the waiting time is counted until the procedure is completed, and the count The status relating to the cooking method is displayed, such as “1:30” which is the waiting time. In the cooking method display area G32, output data read as the first procedure of ramen is displayed. Thereby, the cook using the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 can proceed cooking while checking the procedure of the other ordered items during the waiting time when any ordered item is being cooked. Further, the cook can recognize the order item counting the waiting time and the waiting time by checking the status display area G31.

  Here, if there is a display instruction for the next procedure by voice operation or line-of-sight operation, there is a procedure that satisfies the conditions to display the procedure of other ordered items that are expected to be completed in the waiting time during counting. It may not be found. In this way, if there is no procedure that is expected to finish with the waiting time during counting, the work is performed in the set order, the next step of the procedure currently counting is displayed, and Until the count ends, the display instruction of the next procedure is invalidated. As a method of invalidating the display instruction of the next procedure, the voice command of the display instruction may not be recognized, or the instruction icon G33 may not be displayed.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 5, the order item other than the bird salad and ramen is only small dragon parcel, and the work time is 10 minutes. Therefore, in the display screen illustrated in FIG. 6, when there is an instruction to display the next procedure, the bird salad currently being counted, the procedure following procedure 1 are displayed, and until the count ends. Invalidates the display instruction of the next procedure.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display example of the monitor display unit 17. Specifically, the display of the order item (bird salad) procedure 2 displayed when the display instruction of the next procedure is given in FIG. 6. It is a figure which shows a screen. As shown in FIG. 8, in the status display area G31, in addition to “bird salad”, “procedure 2”, etc., “bird salad”, “ramen” which are the order items for which the waiting time is counted until the procedure is completed are displayed. "And the status related to the cooking method such as" 0:15 "and" 14:50 "which are waiting times during the counting. In the cooking method display area G32, the output data read as the procedure 2 of the bird salad is displayed.

  Thereby, the cook who uses the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 sets the order when the waiting time when cooking any order item does not have a procedure expected to end the work at the waiting time. It is possible to confirm the next step as usual and to proceed with the preparations necessary to proceed with the next step. Since the display instruction of the next procedure is invalid while the count is being performed, it is possible to prevent the display to the procedure that cannot be performed due to an inadvertent operation from being sequentially performed.

  Next, when the cooking method of each order item is displayed on the monitor display unit 17 in the set cooking order (S6), the details of the process performed by the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 under the control of the control unit 121 will be described. 9. Description will be made with reference to FIG. 9 and 10 are flowcharts showing processing of the wearable cooking assistance terminal 1 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the process is started, the control unit 121 displays the first procedure of the first order item set as the cooking order on the monitor display unit 17 with reference to the cooking method data D1. (S10). Next, the control unit 121 determines whether there is a display instruction for the next procedure by a voice operation or a line-of-sight operation, and determines whether to display the next procedure after the currently displayed procedure (S11). If there is a display instruction for the next procedure (S11: YES), the process proceeds to S12. If there is no display instruction for the next procedure (S11: NO), the process proceeds to S18.

  In S <b> 12, the control unit 121 refers to the cooking method data D <b> 1 and determines whether there is a waiting time setting in the currently displayed procedure. If there is a waiting time setting (S12: YES), the process proceeds to S15. In S15, the set waiting time is started, and the process proceeds to S16. If no waiting time is set (S12: NO), the process proceeds to S13.

  In S13, the control unit 121 determines whether or not the current waiting time is being counted. Here, when the current waiting time is not being counted (S13: NO), there is no waiting time in the currently displayed procedure, and there is no procedure that is counting the waiting time. The next procedure is displayed on the monitor display unit 17 with reference to the cooking method data D1 (S14). If the waiting time is currently being counted (S13: YES), the process proceeds to S16 because there is a procedure for counting the waiting time.

  In S16, the control unit 121 executes the subroutine illustrated in FIG. 10 as the display process of the next procedure. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the working time of the order item different from the order item displaying the current procedure is sequentially read out in the order set as the cooking order, and the working time is being counted. It is determined whether it is shorter than the waiting time (S161). Here, when the read work time is shorter than the waiting time during counting (S161: YES), the procedure of another order item determined to be short is monitored with reference to the cooking method data D1.
