The embodiment of the invention provides a structured recipe, one structured recipe corresponds to one dish, and the structured recipe can be applied to a cooking machine, so that the cooking machine can cook different dishes based on the structured recipes of the different dishes. The structured menu can be generated by improving a common menu by a manufacturer of the cooker according to a custom protocol and is stored in a server provided by the manufacturer; or manually edited on the terminal by the user of the cooker and uploaded to a server provided by the manufacturer. The terminal here may be a cooker, or may be a mobile communication device such as a mobile phone or a tablet, which is provided with an app corresponding to the cooker. The acquisition authority of the structured menu generated by the manufacturer can be set to be public, namely all users can consult or acquire the menu free of charge; the structured menu manually edited by the user can be set by the user to have corresponding acquisition permission, such as a public menu, a private menu or a paid menu.

As shown in fig. 1, the structured recipe may include step execution information and externally output information:

the step execution information can be used for recording all cooking steps of the dishes, namely all cooking steps required from the start of the cooking machine to the time when the dishes are taken out of the pan and the dish, the cooking steps can be divided according to the execution of a new instruction and/or the end of the duration, and the specific cooking steps can be hot oil heating, dish pouring, stir-frying, stewing, auxiliary material adding and the like.

Each cooking step in the structured recipe may correspond to a frame of a string of characters that may be composed of various types of characters, such as numbers, letters, symbols, and the like, based on a custom protocol. In particular, each string may contain a plurality of machine recognizable character sets, each machine recognizable character set corresponding to one of the details of the current cooking step. The detailed information can be one or more of machine running state (such as standby, pause, reservation, cooking, ending and the like), cooking mode (such as stir-frying, high pressure, steaming, heating and the like), heating temperature, cooking time, auxiliary material adding information (such as 5ml of oil, 5g of water, 5g of chopped onion and the like), prompting requirement (such as prompting a user to pour raw materials and fill dishes), reservation time, stirring time length, stirring direction (forward stirring, reverse stirring or a combination of the forward stirring and the reverse stirring) and pot cover opening and closing state (including an opening state and a closing state), or can also be detailed contents in other dish cooking processes. It is worth mentioning that the auxiliary material adding information may specifically be the number of the cartridges used and the type and amount of the auxiliary material placed in each cartridge. For example: "Material box 1-oil-5 ml", "material box 2-salt-5 g", and "material box 3-water-10 ml". Therefore, all auxiliary materials required in the dish cooking process can be clearly and intuitively displayed by respectively setting the auxiliary materials for each material box, and the structural menu can be analyzed and executed by the dish frying machine more conveniently.

Further, the machine recognizable character sets at the same positions in the character string corresponding to each cooking step have the same detail information. The detailed information corresponding to each position in the character string can be specifically defined through a custom protocol, for example, after standard format contents such as frame head and frame tail are removed, n (n is a positive integer) characters in the remaining data are taken as a group, and the character groups from left to right respectively correspond to the machine running state, the cooking mode, the heating temperature, the cooking time, the adding amount of the material box 1, the adding amount of the material box 2, the adding amount of the … material box m (m is a positive integer), the prompting requirement and the reservation time. Taking the character string "… 040102050000000000000000 …" with the frame head and the frame tail removed as an example, 04 represents that the machine is in the operation state of cooking; 01 represents cooking mode as heating; 02 represents a heating temperature of 110 ℃; 05 represents a heating time of 5 s; the remaining 00 represents no data or no operation.

The externally output information at least comprises basic menu information and manual operation prompt information corresponding to dishes. The basic menu information is used for describing basic information of dishes, and a user can quickly obtain basic understanding of the dishes through the basic menu information, wherein the basic menu information at least comprises one or more of menu identification, dish finished product information and raw and auxiliary material information. The menu identification can be used for uniquely identifying a menu, and specifically can be a serial number, a two-dimensional code, an index value and the like of the menu.

And step 302, analyzing the externally output information, and outputting basic menu information or manual operation prompt information in the externally output information when an information output instruction is received.

In implementation, after the cooker downloads the structured recipe of the target dish from the server, the external output information in the structured recipe can be analyzed to obtain basic recipe information or manual operation prompt information in the external output information. The cooker may then monitor the receipt of the information output command. When the information output instruction is received, the cooker can determine basic recipe information or manual operation prompt information corresponding to the information output instruction, and then output corresponding information.

And 303, analyzing the step execution information to obtain character strings corresponding to all cooking steps of the target dish.

And step 304, cooking the target dish based on the machine recognizable character set corresponding to each piece of detail information contained in the character string.

In implementation, after the fryer acquires the character strings corresponding to all cooking steps of the target dish, the character strings can be sequentially analyzed according to the sequence of the cooking steps to acquire machine-recognizable character groups corresponding to various detailed information contained in the character strings, so that the target dish can be cooked based on the character groups.

Optionally, the cooker may be provided with an application operating system for analyzing the externally output information and an embedded host program for analyzing the step execution information. Therefore, after the structured menu is obtained, the cooker can analyze and process corresponding information by using the application operating system and the embedded host program respectively. The information output command in step 302 may be generated by manual operation, on one hand, and may be generated by the embedded host program during cooking after the information is analyzed in the step.

Optionally, the machine recognizable character sets at the same location have the same detail information in the character string corresponding to each cooking step of the structured recipe. Therefore, the processing of step 304 may specifically be as follows: reading character strings corresponding to each cooking step in sequence according to the sequence of the cooking steps; extracting all machine recognizable character groups in the character string corresponding to the target cooking step; and finishing the target cooking step according to the detail information corresponding to all the recognizable character sets of the machine.

In implementation, after the structural menu is analyzed by the cooker to obtain the character strings corresponding to the cooking steps of the target dish, the character strings corresponding to each cooking step can be sequentially loaded according to the sequence of the cooking steps. When the string corresponding to the target cooking step is loaded, all of the machine-recognizable character sets may be extracted from the string according to the custom protocol and the offset positions of the characters in the string. Wherein each machine recognizable character set may correspond to a specific one of the targeted cooking steps. Thus, the fryer may complete the target cooking step by loading and executing all of the machine recognizable character sets described above.

Optionally, the detailed information in the cooking step at least comprises one or more of machine operation state, cooking mode, heating temperature, cooking time, auxiliary material adding information, prompting requirement, appointment time, stirring duration, stirring direction and cover opening and closing state.

Optionally, the auxiliary material adding information includes the number of cartridges and the type and amount of auxiliary material in each cartridge.

In practice, the cooker may be provided with a plurality of magazines, each magazine being provided with a unique number. Correspondingly, the auxiliary material adding information in the structured recipe can comprise the using number of the material boxes, and the type and the using amount of the auxiliary material added in each material box. Like this, the machine of cooking can instruct the user to add multiple auxiliary material in a plurality of magazine through modes such as show characters/picture, broadcast pronunciation and/or twinkling light after reading auxiliary material and adding information.

Furthermore, when the auxiliary materials are added, any auxiliary materials required by cooking can be added into any material box, and then the cooking machine can identify the auxiliary materials in the material box and temporarily redefine the number of the material box according to the identification result. For example, the auxiliary material addition information in the structured recipe may be: the food frying machine comprises a material box 1-oil-5 ml, a material box 2-salt-5 g and a material box 3-water-10 ml, wherein when a user adds auxiliary materials, oil measuring is added into the material box 4, water is added into the material box 1, salt is added into the material box 2, and after the auxiliary materials in the material boxes are identified, the raw material box 4 can be temporarily defined as a new material box 1, and the raw material box 1 can be temporarily defined as a new material box 3. Furthermore, if the auxiliary ingredients in all the cartridges are traversed and a certain auxiliary ingredient is found to be absent, the cooker may also perform a preset process to prompt the user. Based on the method, even if errors occur when the user adds the auxiliary materials, the cooking machine can be adjusted and prompted based on the structured menu, so that the dishes can be guaranteed to be cooked successfully.

It is worth mentioning that although the auxiliary material amount in each material box is defined in the auxiliary material adding information, when the user adds the auxiliary material into the material box, the auxiliary material adding amount is not less than the auxiliary material amount, and the auxiliary material is not required to be accurately added according to the specified auxiliary material amount. During cooking, the cooker can accurately take out a certain amount of the auxiliary materials from the material box. Therefore, on one hand, the auxiliary material adding treatment of the user is simplified, on the other hand, the amount of the auxiliary material is accurately controlled by the cooking machine, and the cooking effect of the dish is ensured.

Optionally, the basic recipe information at least includes one or more of a recipe identifier, dish finished product information, and raw and auxiliary material information. Therefore, the process of outputting the basic recipe information in step 302 may be as follows: and when a menu display instruction of a target menu input by a user is received, displaying menu identification, menu finished product information and/or raw auxiliary material information on a preset display screen.

In implementation, after the cooker downloads the structured menu of the target dish, the abnormal processing information included in the menu can be read. During cooking of the target dish, the cooker may continuously monitor a cooking state of the target dish. When it is detected that the cooking state of the target dish meets the target abnormal state information, the cooking machine may determine, according to the abnormal processing information, corresponding processing information corresponding to the target abnormal state information, and execute the corresponding processing information.

In the embodiment of the invention, a cooking instruction of a target dish is received, and a structured menu of the target dish is downloaded from a server, wherein the structured menu comprises step execution information and external output information; analyzing the externally output information, and outputting basic menu information or manual operation prompt information in the externally output information when an information output instruction is received; analyzing the step execution information to obtain character strings corresponding to all cooking steps of the target dish; and cooking the target dish based on the machine recognizable character set corresponding to each detail information contained in the character string. Therefore, the menu is subjected to structuring treatment, on one hand, the cooker can restore all the step details in the dish cooking process by analyzing the character strings, and automatically complete the dish cooking process according to the step details without excessive manual participation; on the other hand, the cooking machine can intuitively and effectively show the detailed contents of the dishes by outputting information to the outside; moreover, the menu is generated in a structured form, which is more beneficial to the generation and management of the menu.

The above examples will be further described with reference to the preparation of the dish "tomato-fried eggs":

after a user purchases a cooking machine, an app corresponding to the cooking machine can be installed on the mobile phone, and an identification code of the cooking machine is input into the app, so that a binding relationship can be established with the cooking machine;

2, when the user wants to make 'tomato fried eggs', dish names can be searched in the app, so that the server can feed back the names and pictures of various dishes to the app according to the name matching degree for displaying;

3, the user can click and select 'tomato-fried eggs' on the app interface, so that the app can send cooking instructions of 'tomato-fried eggs' to the cooker.

And 4, after the cooking instruction is received by the cooker, step execution information and external execution information in the corresponding structured recipe can be acquired from the server.

5, analyzing basic menu information in the structured menu by an application operation system in the cooker, and determining raw materials and auxiliary materials required by cooking: three eggs, two tomatoes, rapeseed oil, salt, white sugar and light soy sauce.

And 6, analyzing the manual operation prompt information by an application operation system in the cooker, and prompting a user to prepare the raw materials and the auxiliary materials one by one in a voice playing or screen display mode.

Here, can be provided with a plurality of former feed bin and a plurality of magazine on the cooking machine, every former feed bin can be processed and deposit a raw materials, and every magazine can deposit an auxiliary material. When preparing raw and auxiliary materials, the cooking machine can open the raw material bin 1 and prompt to put three eggs; after eggs are placed, the raw material bin 2 is opened, and two tomatoes are prompted to be placed; after the tomatoes are placed in the box, the box 1 is opened to prompt that sufficient rapeseed oil is poured in, the box 2 is opened to prompt that sufficient light soy sauce is poured in, the box 3 is opened to prompt that sufficient salt is placed in, and the box 4 is opened to prompt that sufficient white sugar is placed in.

It is worth mentioning that adding sufficient auxiliary materials into the material box inevitably leads to the surplus of auxiliary materials in the material box. Therefore, the dish frying machine can detect the residual quantity of the auxiliary materials in the material boxes when prompting a user to prepare the auxiliary materials. If sufficient auxiliary material is found in the cartridge, the step of adding the auxiliary material can be skipped.

7. After the cooker detects that all the raw materials and the auxiliary materials are added, step execution information in the structured recipe can be analyzed, and cooking is carried out according to the cooking steps recorded in the step execution information:

(1) preparing egg liquid;

(2) hot oil;

(3) frying eggs;

(4) loading eggs into a tray;

(5) hot oil;

(6) frying tomatoes;

(7) pouring eggs:

(8) adding 20ml of clear water, 10g of white sugar, 5ml of light soy sauce and 20g of edible salt;

(9) a tray;

(10) and (5) washing the pot.

All the steps can be independently finished, and voice broadcasting can be carried out at the beginning and the end of each step so as to inform a user of the cooking progress of dishes. Meanwhile, the cooking machine can directly broadcast cooking conditions of dishes in the machine on the screen in real time. Further, if the steps that the cooking machine cannot independently complete exist, the cooking machine can prompt a user to perform related operations in a voice prompt mode, for example, the user can be prompted to perform tray holding operations.

8. If a fault occurs during the cooking process, the cooker can handle the fault based on a preset fault handling mechanism. If the fault can not be independently repaired, the user can be informed by playing ring tones, flickering lights and the like, and the user is prompted to perform related operations by using a voice playing or information displaying mode.

Based on the above processing of step 301 and step 304, in another embodiment, the cooker may only obtain step execution information in the structured recipe, mainly for executing the cooking step of the target dish.
