METHOD AND TERMINAL FOR PROCESSING ELECTRONIC RECIPE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This is a non-provisional application which claims priority to a Chinese patent application having an application number of CN202110705276.X, and a filing date of Jun. 24, 2021, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The application relates to the field of electronic recipe technologies, and in particular, to a method and terminal for processing an electronic recipe, an electronic device.

BACKGROUND

As people pay more attention to healthy diet, an increasing number of working people are more willing to cook at home. To pursue better color, aroma and taste, people usually rely on the guidance of electronic recipes in the cooking process.

In the prior art, electronic recipes usually include: web version recipes, video recipes, and picture recipes. The web version recipes are usually pure article-style recipes with a lot of text and with no picture or video guidance, are inconvenient to watch during cooking, and usually require a user to read complete recipe steps before cooking.

Although a video recipe facilitates viewing by the user, to ensure the user's viewing experience, the playback of a certain recipe step of the video recipe may be compressed. For example, a certain recipe step involves stewing for 30 minutes, but the step may be completed in a few seconds when the video recipe is played. In this case, if the user is still in the stewing stage while the video has skipped to the next stage after the stewing, after the user has completed the stewing step, the user still needs to watch the video again to complete the next recipe step.

With regard to a picture recipe, because all recipe steps are presented on one web page, a problem similar to that of web recipes occurs: it is inconvenient to watch the recipe during cooking, and the user usually needs to slide up and down to read the complete recipe steps before cooking. If the user forgets a certain recipe step during the cooking process, the user needs to interrupt the cooking and recheck the step, affecting user experience.

In conclusion, the web version recipes, the video recipes and the picture recipes present the recipe content in an excessively concentrated manner, it is difficult for the user to locate a certain recipe step, leading to low cooking efficiency and poor user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Example embodiments are described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different accompanying drawings indicate the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following example examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the application. On the contrary, the implementations are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the application and detailed in the appended claims.

As described in the foregoing background art, in the prior art, the content of an electronic recipe is presented in an excessively concentrated manner, which affects viewing by a user and leads to poor cooking efficiency.

To solve the technical problems, the application provides three technical solutions, which are specifically as follows:

The first technical solution: a method and terminal for processing an electronic recipe, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium; and this technical solution solves the foregoing technical problem by improving the method for processing an electronic recipe.

The second technical solution: a method and terminal for displaying an electronic recipe, an electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium; and this technical solution solves the foregoing technical problem by improving the method for displaying an electronic recipe.

The implementation of each technical solution is described with reference to specific embodiments.

It should be noted that the “target recipe” described in all embodiments of the application is the name of the dish that the user is going to cook, and detail page for the target recipe is recipe information corresponding to dishes that the user prepares to cook. For example, if the user is preparing to cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the detail page for the target recipe is recipe information required for the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The recipe information includes at least: operation content, a food ingredient description, a cooking temperature, and cooking duration corresponding to each operation step.

The implementation of the first technical solution is described in detail with reference to Embodiment I to Embodiment IV.

Embodiment I

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a method for processing an electronic recipe according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:

step S11: obtaining a source file of a target recipe, the source file including a plurality of recipe steps of the target recipe; and

step S12: creating one presenting page for each recipe step of the target recipe, wherein the presenting page of each recipe step is configured with an interactive tool capable of being invoked by a user, and the interactive tool is configure is provided with d to guide the user to complete a corresponding recipe step.

As can be understood that in the technical solution in this embodiment, one presenting page is created for each recipe step of a target recipe, which facilitate a user to quickly locate a certain recipe step. Less content is shown on a single presenting page, which facilitates the user to quickly view operation content of a certain recipe step. In addition, because the presenting page of each recipe step is configured with an interactive tool capable of being invoked by the user, and the interactive tool can guide the user to complete a corresponding recipe step, compared with a method in the prior art which requires manual and repeated memorizing or repeated viewing of a certain recipe step to complete the cooking, the technical solution in this embodiment greatly improves cooking efficiency and user experience.

It should be noted that during specific operation, the technical solution in this embodiment needs to be loaded and run in an electronic device, or loaded and run in a user APP in the electronic device. The electronic device includes: a server-side electronic device and a user-side electronic device, including but not limited to: a mobile phone, a computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, an intelligent wearable device, or the like. The tablet computer may be a household handheld tablet computer, or a tablet computer embedded in a kitchen device, for example, a tablet computer embedded in a range hood, a tablet computer embedded in an oven, or a tablet computer embedded in a refrigerator.

It should be noted that if the technical solution in this embodiment runs in a user APP loaded in an electronic device, if a permission of the user APP is set as that the user only has a permission to process an electronic recipe, then in this case, the user can only process an electronic recipe and view the electronic recipe processed by the user.

If the permission of the user APP is set as that the user can have a permission to process an electronic recipe and a viewing permission, in this case, the user can not only process an electronic recipe, but also view electronic recipes shared by others.

Obtaining a source file of a target recipe in step S11 may be implemented in the following ways in specific practice:

receiving a source file of a target recipe uploaded by the user through a server-side electronic device, and/or,

receiving a source file of a target recipe uploaded by the user through a user-side electronic device, where

the source file is at least one of the following forms:

a video, a picture, and text.

As described above, the technical solution in this embodiment may be loaded on a server-side electronic device and a user-side electronic device for operation. If the technical solution in this embodiment is loaded on a server-side electronic device, a background manager may be equipped on a server side, so that the background manager uploads source files of various electronic recipes. If the technical solution in this embodiment is loaded on a user-side electronic device, users of the user-side electronic device may be allowed to share source files of electronic recipes.

In specific practice, regardless of the form in which the source file of the electronic recipe is obtained, the obtained source file of the electronic recipe may be saved in a database on the server side. If the server side needs to obtain the source file of the target recipe, the source file is directly retrieved from the database; if the user side needs to obtain the source file of the target recipe, the user side may send a request to the server side, and the server side will match against the source file of the target recipe.

As can be understood that regardless of the form in which the user uploads the source file of the target recipe, the source file may be one of the following two forms:

1. All recipe steps in the source file correspond to one parent file. Taking a target recipe of scrambled eggs with tomatoes as an example, the user may upload at least one of the following files: a complete video of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a complete picture explanation of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a document description of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

2. Each recipe step in the source file corresponds to one subfile. Taking a target recipe of scrambled eggs with tomatoes as an example, the user may upload at least one of the following files: a step-by-step video of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, each step video corresponding to one subfile; and/or, a step-by-step picture explanation of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, each step picture corresponding to one subfile; and/or, a step-by-step document description of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, each step description corresponding to one subfile.

In specific practice, the foregoing two source file formats 1 and 2 may be processed by the technical solution in this embodiment, specifically:

under a condition that all recipe steps in the source file correspond to one parent file, prompting the user to specify a recipe step cutting node when uploading the source file, cutting the parent file into a plurality of subfiles based on the cutting node specified, wherein each subfile corresponds to a recipe step, and prompting the user to add operation content and a food ingredient description of each recipe step; and

under a condition that each recipe step in the source file corresponds to a subfile, prompting the user to add operation content and a food ingredient description of each recipe step when uploading the source file.

As can be understood that as people pay more attention to health, an increasing number people are beginning to pay attention to the balance between the taste of dishes and health. Some people even need to strictly control the nutritional ingredient content of each dish to lose weight and shape their bodies. Because a user of an electronic recipe may need to understand the nutritional ingredient content of each dish, in specific practice, the following solution may be adopted:

displaying, on a presenting page of a corresponding recipe step, the operation content, the food ingredient description and nutritional ingredient content calculated based on the food ingredient description of each recipe step, where

the food ingredient description includes: food ingredient types and food ingredient weights.

In specific practice, on the presenting page of each recipe step, the operation content and the food ingredient description corresponding to each recipe step are displayed in a font with a font size greater than a preset font size.

The preset font size may be set based on user needs, for example, may be set to Sihao Kaiti or Sanhao Songti. The font display with a front size greater than the preset font size can help users with poor eyesight, and can also help ordinary users. This is because after the font is enlarged, the user can see the font more clearly, which facilitates cooking.

In addition, during the cooking process, the user may adjust food ingredient types and food ingredient weights of a certain recipe step based on actual needs. When food ingredient types and food ingredient weights of a certain recipe step are modified by the user, the final nutritional ingredient content (for example, the content of calcium, iron, zinc, and protein) of an entire dish will also be changed. Therefore, in specific practice, the following solution may be used:

under a condition that food ingredient types and/or food ingredient weights on any presenting page are modified by the user (referring to FIG. 2), calculating modified nutritional ingredient content in real time, and presenting a calculation result to the user.

This allows the user to learn about (for example, no matter whether the user is cooking, the user can learn about) the updated nutritional ingredient content in real time, and then control the increase or decrease of subsequent food ingredients, so as to control the nutritional ingredient content of the entire dish and meet the user's requirements for personalized cooking.

The interactive tool described in step S12 includes at least one of the following:

a timer, a speech recognizer, a gesture recognizer, and a speech announcer.

Referring to FIG. 3, in specific practice, under a condition that the interactive tool includes a timer, and any one recipe step is configured with timing, the presenting page of the recipe step is configured to start timing based on a user-triggered operation, and display countdown duration.

It should be noted that if any one recipe step is configured with timing, the recipe step may be configured with timing during uploading, or during displaying.

If timing is configured during uploading, when the recipe step is displayed, the user does not need to set the timing through other applications, just trigger the timer to start. If the recipe step is not configured with timing during uploading, when the recipe step is displayed, the user needs to use another application set the timing, and then triggers the timer for starting the timing.

To achieve a better experience effect, preferably, in this embodiment, “any one recipe step is configured with timing during uploading”.

Certainly, regardless of the configuration method, this is only an example. In this embodiment, the configuration of a timing function for any one recipe step under a specific situation is not limited, for example, the configuration is modified again after the recipe is uploaded.

Regardless of the timing, as long as the timing is required in the cooking process, the timer can be started for timing. If the timing is set when a background user uploads the recipe step, a foreground user does not need to interrupt the cooking to set the timing when using the electronic recipe, and can start set timing by a trigger operation (for example, manually clicking a timer icon on the current presenting page to start the timing, or starting the timing by using a preset speech instruction), thereby saving time and labor, making user experience good, and making satisfaction high.

As can be understood that adding a timing function to a presenting page of a specified recipe step can help the user to time. During the cooking process, the user uses the timing function generally in two situations: operation timing and cooking timing. The operation timing refers to various preparation timings, for example, various operation timings required by the user, such as marinating beef for 12 minutes and soaking vermicelli in hot water for 10 hours. The cooking timing refers to duration of cooking by using a cooking device required in the current recipe step if the target recipe is associated with the cooking device, or timing duration that the user needs to wait in the cooking step. For example, if a target recipe is roasted sweet potatoes, a cooking device associated with the target recipe is an oven, and the current recipe step is “preheating the oven at 220° C., and baking at a middle layer for 20 minutes”, then the cooking time is the 20 minutes during which the oven needs to bake. In addition, if the user needs to check a cooking situation after 15 minutes, the user may set a timer for 15 minutes on the presenting page of the recipe step.

In specific practice, under a condition that the interactive tool includes a speech recognizer and/or a gesture recognizer, the presenting page of each recipe step is configured to turn a page based on the user's page turning speech instruction and/or page turning gesture instruction. Under a condition that the interactive tool comprises a speech recognizer, the presenting page of the recipe step is configured to turn a page based on the user's page turning speech instruction; and under a condition that the interactive tool comprises a gesture recognizer, the presenting page of the recipe step is configured to turn a page based on the page turning gesture instruction.

It should be noted that, in specific practice, the page turning speech instruction and the page turning gesture instruction may be flexibly set based on user needs. For example, the page turning speech instruction is preset as “previous page” and “next page” to implement page up and page down; and the page turning gesture instruction is preset as “left wave” and “right wave” to implement page up and page down.

As can be understood that the user turns a page by using the page turning speech instruction and/or the page turning gesture instruction without directly touching the electronic device, which frees the user's hands. Meanwhile, the user can complete the page turning of the target recipe without leaving a cooking site, enabling the user to pay more attention to cooking, facilitating recipe viewing by the user while further improving cooking efficiency.

In specific practice, referring to FIG. 4, under a condition that the interactive tool includes a gesture recognizer, the presenting page of each recipe step is further configured to display a page turning gesture prompt icon under a condition that no user operation is detected within a preset duration.

It should be noted that the preset duration is set based on user needs, for example, set to 30 seconds. The user operation refers to a touch operation and a speech control operation performed by the user on the electronic recipe, including but not limited to: page up, page down, pause, and a timing trigger operation.

The display of a page turning gesture prompt icon may be a suspended display of the page turning gesture prompt icon on the presenting page of the current recipe step.

As can be understood that if no user operation is detected within the preset duration, the system defaults that the user is not clear about how to implement non-contact page turning, and the page turning gesture prompt icon is displayed, which can help the user to correctly use the preset page turning gesture instruction and improve cooking efficiency.

In specific practice, referring to FIG. 5, under a condition that the interactive tool includes a speech announcer, the presenting page of the recipe step is configured to start speech broadcast of the recipe step based on a user instruction, and display a working state of the speech announcer.

As can be understood that during the cooking process, the user's eyes are liberated through the speech broadcast of the recipe step, and the user is listening while cooking, so that the user can focus more on the cooking of a dish, which improves cooking efficiency and user experience.

Meanwhile, because one presenting page displays only one recipe step, the speech broadcast content of the presenting page of each recipe step is less, the content of a single broadcast is more easily absorbed by the user, and the user experience is better.

Because the speech announcer starts the speech broadcast of the recipe step based on the user instruction, the speech announcer can provide repeated broadcast for many times, and prevent the user from missing key information due to a noisy cooking environment, thereby achieving a better effect of absorption by the user and better experience, and also helping users with poor eyesight.

As can be understood that when different cooking devices are used to cook the same dish, corresponding recipe information may be different. For example, if a target recipe is steamed egg custard, using a wok to make the steamed egg custard, using a steamer to make the steamed egg custard, using a microwave oven to make the steamed egg custard and using a rice cooker to make the steamed egg custard require different water consumption, cooking duration, and cooking temperatures.

For the same target recipe, considering that the recipe information corresponding to different cooking devices may be different, the following solution may be adopted:

1. referring to FIG. 6, creating a detail page for the target recipe before presenting pages of all the recipe steps.

2. associating at least one cooking device with the target recipe, and establishing a list of cooking devices.

It should be noted that the “cooking device” refers to a cooking device that can be used when a target recipe is cooked in specific practice. For example, if the target recipe is steamed egg custard, the cooking device includes: a wok, a steamer, a microwave oven, a rice cooker, or the like; and for another example, if the target recipe is stewed ribs with lotus root, a cooking device includes: a casserole, a wok, a pressure cooker, a rice cooker, or the like.

The “associating at least one cooking device” refers to selecting one or more of the foregoing “cooking devices” for association. Cooking devices in the “cooking device list” only refers to cooking devices that are associated with the target recipe. In an optional solution, at least one cooking device associated with the target recipe are cooking devices that establish a binding relationship with the software/APP; and it is more convenient to provide a cooking recipe for devices owned by the user.

For example, if a target recipe is steamed egg custard, the cooking device includes: a wok, a steamer, a microwave oven, a rice cooker, or the like; and if the user associates the target recipe steamed egg custard with the steamer and the rice cooker among the cooking devices, then only the steamer and the rice cooker are in the list of cooking devices.

In specific practice, “associating at least one cooking device with the target recipe” may be implemented by the following solution (the following methods are only examples, and this embodiment is not limited to only the following implementations):

Solution I: starting a communication module (for example, a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, a 4G communications module, or the like) of a cooking device, and then starting a communication module of an electronic device running the method for processing an electronic recipe in this embodiment; and after the electronic device searches for a communication signal of the cooking device within a preset space range, establishing a communication link with the cooking device based on the user's authorization, thereby associating the cooking device with the target recipe.

Solution II: loading an APP that controls the working of the cooking device into the electronic device, and also loading the method for processing an electronic recipe in this embodiment into the electronic device. In the case of obtaining the user's authorization, the electronic device reads device parameters and control parameters in the APP of the cooking device that has been loaded in the electronic device, and loads the obtained device parameters and control parameters into the electronic recipe for invoking by the user, thereby associating the cooking device with the target recipe.

Solution III: in the case of obtaining the user's authorization, indirectly associating the cooking device with the target recipe by using the electronic recipe as a main application, and using the APP of the cooking device as a secondary application.

In conclusion, to associate the cooking device with the target recipe, on the one hand, the cooking device needs to have a remote control function, and is a smart cooking device, on the other hand, the user's authorization is further required, and the cooking device that needs to be associated is selected from smart cooking devices based on the user's authorization.

3. Recipe information of different cooking devices (including different models of cooking devices and different types of cooking devices) in the list of cooking devices is obtained.

As can be understood that even if for the same dish, when cooking devices are different, the recipe information may be different. Taking the target recipe being steamed egg custard as an example, the water consumption, steps and cooking duration required for cooking with a steamer are different from those with a rice cooker.

Then, how the “obtaining recipe information of different cooking devices in the list of cooking devices” is implemented?

In specific practice, the system may require the user to select a cooking device used by an electronic recipe when uploading the electronic recipe, so that each electronic recipe created corresponds to one cooking device.

For example, taking the target recipe being steamed egg custard as an example, an electronic recipe uploaded by user A is implemented by cooking in a steamer, and then the system saves a piece of information: target recipe-steamed egg custard-steamer-recipe information; and an electronic recipe uploaded by user B is implemented by cooking in a rice cooker, and the system saves another piece of information: target recipe-steamed egg custard-rice cooker-recipe information, . . . , and so on.

Based on this, after the user associates the cooking device with the target recipe, the system can match against the corresponding recipe information based on the cooking device.

It should be noted that the recipe information includes at least: operation content, a food ingredient description, a cooking temperature, and cooking duration corresponding to each recipe step.

4. Recipe information of the user's default cooking device in the list of cooking devices, and the list of cooking devices are displayed on the detail page for the target recipe.

5. Recipe information of other cooking devices in the list of cooking devices is displayed on a switching page of the detail page for the target recipe, and the switching page is entered by clicking on an icon of the other cooking devices in the list of cooking devices.

Still taking the target recipe being steamed egg custard as an example, if a steamer and a rice cooker are in the list of cooking devices, two sets of recipe information are provided under the target recipe. One is the recipe information when the steaming egg custard is made with the steamer, and the other is the recipe information when the steaming egg custard is made in a rice cooker.

If both sets of recipe information are displayed on the target detail page, a lot of content are presented on the target detail page, which reduces the user's perception and experience. Therefore, the technical solution in this embodiment is that one page displays one set of recipe information of the target recipe, and one set of recipe information corresponds to one cooking device. In this way, the information quantity of each page can be reduced, and the page content is more concise and easy for the user to understand and absorb.

6. The detail page for the target recipe is provided with a touch button that controls the user's default cooking device to start cooking and a link for viewing the recipe information step by step; the switching page is provided with a touch button that controls a corresponding cooking device to start cooking and a link for viewing the recipe information step by step; and the link is associated with the presenting page of each recipe step.

As can be understood that, referring to FIG. 6, the detail page for the target recipe or a switching page thereof is equivalent to an overview page. The detail page for the target recipe corresponds to the user's default cooking device, and the page displays recipe information such as a complete video, a text description, cooking temperatures, cooking duration, food ingredient types and food ingredient weights, and nutritional ingredient content of the target recipe. Due to the more content of the text description part, only the foregoing part of the text description is displayed. The following content is displayed in a collapsed manner. The user can view the complete recipe step description by clicking a collapse button on the page. This page is provided with a link for viewing the recipe information step by step. Switching pages correspond to other cooking devices, and one switching page corresponds to one cooking device. Because the switching page and the detail page for the target recipe have the same layout and display content, details are no longer described herein.

As can be understood that because one cooking device corresponds to one set of recipe information, and one set of recipe information corresponds to the presenting pages of a plurality of recipe steps, the technical solution in this embodiment meets requirements of some user groups for viewing complete recipe information of the target recipe, also meets requirements of some user groups for viewing the recipe information step by step, and further meets requirements of some user groups for viewing the recipe information based on cooking device types and models. The user group compatibility is high and user experience is good.

In addition, through the arrangement of the touch button for starting the cooking, the combination of the target recipe and cooking practice is implemented. The user does not need to manually start the cooking device, or go to an APP of the cooking device to control the cooking device. The technical solution in this embodiment integrates three functions, creation of the electronic recipe, viewing, and cooking, and implements a full set of solutions from back-end production to front-end guided cooking and automated cooking, which improves user experience and increases user stickiness.

As can be understood that even if for the same cooking device, when food ingredient types and food ingredient weights are different, cooking methods of the target recipes may be different.

Taking a target recipe being steamed egg custard as an example, the cooking device is a steamer. When three eggs and eight eggs are cooked, to achieve the intended cooking effect (for example, tender and smooth), cooking temperatures used and cooking duration are definitely different. Therefore, in specific practice, the following solution may be used to meet the user's requirements for personalized recipe information customization, specifically:

creating a smart cooking parameter setup page after the presenting pages of all the recipe steps, where

the smart cooking parameter setup page is used to provide the user with options for food ingredient types and food ingredient weights, and recommend an optimum cooking temperature and cooking duration based on food ingredient types and food ingredient weights selected by the user.

In specific practice, cooking experiments can be used to record a corresponding relationship between food ingredient types and food ingredient weights, and different cooking temperatures and cooking duration when the preset cooking effects are achieved;

a cooking curve is drawn and saved based on the corresponding relationship; and

the recommend an optimum cooking temperature and cooking duration specifically includes:

recommending an optimum cooking temperature based on a pre-saved cooking curve.

It can be learned from the foregoing description that in specific practice, a plurality of implementations of the method for processing an electronic recipe are provided, and each implementation can solve one technical problem, and is not limited to the one shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a method for processing an electronic recipe according to another exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the method includes:

step S21: associating at least one cooking device with a target recipe, and establishing a list of cooking devices;

step S22: obtaining recipe information of different cooking devices in the list of cooking devices, the recipe information including at least: operation content, a food ingredient description, a cooking temperature, and cooking duration corresponding to each recipe step;

step S23: creating a detail page for the target recipe based on the list of cooking devices and the recipe information;

step S24: obtaining a source file of the target recipe, the source file including a plurality of recipe steps of the target recipe;

step S25: for each recipe step of the target recipe, creating a presenting page, and configuring an interactive tool capable of being invoked by a user, the interactive tool being configured to guide the user to complete a corresponding recipe step; and

step S26: creating a smart cooking parameter setup page after the presenting pages of all the recipe steps, where

It should be noted that, because the implementations and beneficial effects of the foregoing steps have been described in detail above, the details are not described in this embodiment.

As can be understood that the technical solution in this embodiment provides a complete set of solutions including the construction of the detail page for the target recipe, the construction of the presenting page of each recipe step, and the construction of the smart cooking parameter setup page, which not only solves the problem in the prior art that the content of an electronic recipe is presented in an excessively concentrated manner, which affects viewing by the user and leads to poor cooking efficiency, but also meets various user's requirements for viewing personalized recipe information and customizing recipe information. The user experience is good and the satisfaction is high.
